CHAPTER 225: CHAPTER 225: NEXT STEPS

This scene once again amazed Bai Yanluo.

Plopping down between Gu Nian and Nan Jin Yu, he tilted his head and asked, "Little girl, what’s your name? Are you from this village?"

Gu Nian nodded obediently, her big round eyes feigning innocence as she said, "Yes, my home is just up ahead. Who are you, brother?"

"Me!" Bai Yanluo lifted his head, "I’m your brother Nan’s good friend, a world-renowned miracle doctor. If you ever get sick or injured, come find me. I can cure any disease!"

"Oh, then can you cure delusional disorder, brother?" she teased. A world-renowned miracle doctor, really? Isn’t it said that in traditional medicine, great achievements only come with time and experience? And judging by his age, he doesn’t seem much older than brother Nan.

"Delusional disorder? What’s that?" Bai Yanluo frowned, thinking hard.

"It’s the illness of... liking to daydream," Gu Nian answered with a sly smile.

Bai Yanluo immediately caught on, feeling embarrassed and angry, "You little rascal..."

"Hurry up and eat." Watching Gu Nian and Bai Yanluo chit-chat back and forth happily, Nan Jin Yu felt a bit annoyed and urged them.

Gu Nian quickly bowed her head to eat.

In actuality, she wasn’t very hungry, feeling full just from tasting things all afternoon.

Suddenly, Bai Yanluo exclaimed, "Little girl, who made these dishes you brought over? They taste great, even better than the chef’s at Qinglin Restaurant!"

The plates of sliced meat and Wanzi didn’t look special at all, but dip them in the sauce and they were incredibly delicious. That spicy flavor made him want to cry, yet he couldn’t stop himself.

And this sliced roasted meat tasted like lamb but without any of its usual gaminess. The seasoning was just right, making him want to swallow his tongue.

"I made them. Tasty, right?" Gu Nian was of course happy to be praised for her cooking skills.

However, Bai Yanluo was skeptical, "You made this? What a joke! At your age, being able to eat on your own is impressive enough. Cooking? Little girl, lying is a bad habit."

"People don’t even believe the truth!" Gu Nian pouted at him, then turned to ask Nan Jin Yu, "Brother Nan, do you think it tastes good?"

"Not bad," Nan Jin Yu nodded.

"Then I feel relieved. If even you say it’s good, it probably won’t be a loss."

Nan Jin Yu knew she was talking about opening the restaurant and said, "If there’s anything you’re uncertain about or need help with, you can come to me."

"Got it, thanks in advance, Brother Nan," Gu Nian smiled.

When she returned from Nan Jin Yu’s place, the people at home had almost finished eating. The men were chatting in the yard while the women were tidying up the mess.

Gu Nian knew that being young meant she couldn’t stand out too much in front of others, so she shared her plans with Lin Sanshui and let him take the lead in getting things done.

She heard that Qinglin Restaurant had started buying smoked sausage from the Wang Family, so Gu Nian decided to give the smoked sausage recipe to the villagers for free.

Of course, with many families making smoked sausage, making a fortune wasn’t possible, but earning a little extra should still be feasible.

Always letting your own family earn money might provoke others’ jealousy and trigger unnecessary issues.

Sharing some benefits could also prevent potential problems from arising.
