Chapter 748 - 089 The first person to eat a crab_1
Lin Yuan had already anticipated the concerns of the crowd. Shopkeeper Liu raised his hand and, seizing the moment when the murmuring from below had subsided, he quickly said, "Everyone, rest assured that our products in Fuman Building are absolutely clean and safe. Not only will there be no risk of poisoning, but you won’t even get an upset stomach. Please feel at ease when trying them."
"We can’t just take your word for it. No, Shopkeeper Liu, you should eat a piece and show us. If nothing happens to you, then it’s not too late for us to have some as well. What do you all say?"
Shopkeeper Liu grimaced, almost swearing aloud.
Upstairs, Lin Yuan took a sip of tea and almost laughed out loud. This young fellow was quite sly, coaxing Shopkeeper Liu into giving a demonstration, after which they would boldly eat with peace of mind. But surely, the young man didn’t think Shopkeeper Liu was a fool, no wonder Shopkeeper Liu was turning pale with anger.
Lin Yuan set down her teacup and glanced at Xiao Linzi who was hiding in the crowd, just in time to meet his inquiring gaze. With an expression of composure, she shook her head and lowered it to pour another cup of tea. The tea leaves from Tea Tree Town were really excellent. Once she sorted out the matters in the tavern, she would definitely open a teahouse and get into the tea business properly.
In contrast to Lin Yuan’s serene demeanor, Xiao Linzi was already scratching his head in anxiety.
Lin Yuan had not set up this press conference without preparation. If no one from the crowd dared to come up and try, wouldn’t her plan be in vain? Therefore, she had called Xiao Linzi over from the tofu shop in advance. Although he was from the tofu shop and had only shown up at Rice Flower Fragrance a couple of times, as long as no one recognized him, nobody would suspect that he was actually one of Lin Yuan’s men. Having him win the prize would raise no suspicions.
Xiao Linzi rubbed his hands together, the usually composed man feeling somewhat restless at this moment. It was not concern over the one hundred taels of silver being snatched by someone else but worry that he wouldn’t be able to fulfill the arrangement with Lin Yuan. The task of stepping forward wasn’t something that could be resolved with just one hundred taels of silver, and he was thinking of proposing an additional condition to Lin Yuan. Now, he was just waiting to take the stage and then return to put forth his condition to Lin Yuan.
