SFS Chapter 145 The Flower Shadow's Appearance in the Wrong Position
Chapter 145 The Flower Shadow's Appearance in the Wrong Position
It's approaching noon.
A long queue formed at the entrance.
Other diners were curious, since the restaurant was almost closing time and there were still people there.
Due to herd mentality, others also lined up!
The western part of the city has inexplicably become lively again!
At that moment, a long sedan chair with a white gauze canopy, carried by eight people, appeared at the city gate.
Through the white gauze covering the room, one could vaguely see a person reclining lazily, head propped up by their hand, long hair cascading down their back.
Dressed in white, it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman.
Upon entering the city, his brows furrowed as he looked at the desolate streets.
"It's said that the west side of the city is more lively."
Inside the sedan chair, the man's voice fell.
The sedan chair then swayed and wobbled as it headed towards the west of the city.
The person inside the sedan chair appeared nonchalant, but in reality, they harbored a subtle anticipation for the bustling activity in the western part of the city.
The man lazily twirled a strand of long hair across his chest with his fingers, a wicked smile playing on his lips. "I wonder if the women of Pingyao County will go crazy for me!"
Upon hearing this, the accompanying attendant hurriedly flattered him with a smile, saying, "Young Master Huaying, you are so elegant and handsome, you are as good-looking as Pan An! The women of Pingyao County would probably all lose their souls and be unable to move when they see you!"
Hua Ying chuckled softly, "Hmph, if it's boring, then this trip will lose most of its meaning."
He deliberately chose a desolate, godforsaken place so that he could quietly take a few women away without being noticed.
As the sedan chair drew closer to the western part of the city, the noise became increasingly clear.
Hua Ying sat up slightly, a playful smile playing on her lips.
I thought his flamboyant way of traveling would definitely attract the attention of the whole city.
To his surprise, not a single glance from the people queuing ahead fell on his sedan chair.
Instead, they craned their necks and kept looking ahead, not knowing what they were queuing for.
Hua Ying looked displeased when she saw that the crowd did not react as expected.
He frowned and looked up.
The queue started at a restaurant.
The gaze wasn't on him, but his whole body felt like it was being bitten by ants—this was absolutely unacceptable.
Hua Ying beckoned to the servants, "You, get ready."
The servants quickly carried a bag of something and tiptoed onto the rooftops on both sides of the west side of the city.
At this point, the line outside the restaurants finally began to form among the residents of the western part of the city.
The old lady quickly called out, "Boss, one pork chop!"
Gao Mengli quickly brought out the large basin of marinated pork chops and placed it aside.
Lin Xi quickly took a pork chop from inside and put it on the griddle of the jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe) to fry.
The unique aroma of the pork chop filled the air, making the diners who had bought other food realize what was going on.
The owner has come up with a new dish!
The diners yelled and quickly lined up.
But I was so angry!
The elderly woman in line was behind them.
While they were queuing, they chatted and asked the old lady what she wanted to buy so they could "split the bill" together.
But the old lady said she wanted to buy sauerkraut dumplings, and asked if anyone wanted to "share" her sauerkraut dumplings, so we stopped there.
He never expected that the old lady would actually lie to him!
The people living in the west of the city are so cunning, they're like sieves.
He didn't reveal a single word throughout the entire process.
Knowing the truth, tears streamed down his face.
The diners grumbled and complained as they rushed to the end of the line.
"Hmph, I was wondering why the line was so strange today, turns out there's new food."
These old folks in the west of the city are so tight-lipped! They're so unfair; I almost missed out on this delicious food.
The others in the group couldn't help but chuckle when they heard his complaints.
Hmph, what they want is for others to not know! If no one knows, there won't be more people trying to steal it.
After all, Lin Kee always has limited production, and if there are too many people in line, who knows if there will still be any left by the time it's their turn.
Just then, as Lin Xi placed the pork chop on the iron plate, a shower of peach blossoms began to fall from the sky.
The fluttering peach petals, like pink snowflakes, instantly added a dreamlike touch to the streets and alleys.
The diners were drawn to this unexpected sight and looked up in surprise.
Lin Xi and Gao Mengli were also stunned.
Is this a shower of peach blossoms falling from the sky?
Just then, a man dressed in white with long hair flew out from the white gauze curtain.
His clothes fluttered in the wind, embroidered with delicate peach blossom patterns, as if he had blended into the peach blossoms that filled the sky.
A faint smile played on his lips, his eyes revealing a hint of unruliness and arrogance.
He thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of being watched by everyone.
But as soon as he flew over the restaurant, the overpowering aroma of pork chops wafted out from the hot plate and hit his nostrils.
This forced him to feel embarrassed.
To his surprise, the fragrance immediately transformed into a soft, smooth silk, which quickly bound his legs.
His distraction caused him to pause in mid-air.
This sudden movement caused him to lose his balance and fall vertically.
"Run! The person has fallen!"
One of the diners in line yelled, and the others scattered like birds.
As expected, the "flying man" landed in front of the hot plate for frying pork chops.
It landed with a "plop" sound.
Gao Mengli and Lin Xi were looking up at the figure of the "flying man in the sky".
Who knew that this person, who was flying perfectly fine in the sky, would suddenly fall down?
Their gazes followed his trajectory as he fell, from the sky to the ground.
Lin Xi covered her mouth with a spatula and exclaimed in surprise, "This person is face down!"
Gao Mengli, standing nearby, calmly shook her head. "No, he's covering his face with his hands!"
Hearing what the two said, the flower shadow on the ground got so angry that it rolled around like a carp and jumped up.
Pointing at the two of them angrily, he said, "What nonsense are you spouting?"
Hearing a man's voice, Lin Xi's eyes widened. "Huh, it's actually a man?"
He didn't like her at first glance.
He likes men with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, well-defined features, and a strong masculine aura!
Gao Mengli nodded in agreement and added, "Yes, he's a refined man who looks like a woman."
She doesn't like it either.
This man smelled too strongly of cigarette smoke; I really didn't like it.
Hua Ying's face turned red with anger at the two of them.
He pointed at the two of them and started to say "Aba aba," but was pushed away by an anxious old woman next to him.
He flew out in a pose resembling the greater than sign.
"Oh no, boss, flip it over quickly! It's burning! My pork chop is going to burn!"
Hua Ying was pushed by the old lady, and her body flew in an awkward arc in the air.
After finally regaining his balance, he landed awkwardly to the side.
He straightened his clothes, about to lash out, but then he saw that everyone's eyes were focused on the pork chop that was about to burn, and no one paid any attention to him anymore.
Lin Xi frantically flipped the pork chops.
Gao Mengli comforted the old woman from the side, saying, "Auntie, don't worry, it'll be alright soon."
Hua Ying pointed angrily at the two of them, about to confront them, "You!!!"
Before he could finish speaking, he was pushed aside by the diners who had just made room for him.
They returned, lined up, and eagerly awaited their return!
Even the young girl didn't give Hua Ying a second glance.
Being a fangirl is useless; he's not their man anyway.
But food is useful because it can be truly enjoyed in your mouth.
Hua Ying stood aside, so angry he was about to faint. When had he ever been treated like this?
Suddenly, he became an extra in this lively scene.
However, that is indeed the case!
He glanced around, watching the diners eagerly anticipating the pork chop, which only fueled his anger.
He turned to look at the busy Lin Xi and Gao Mengli, his eyes flashing with venom.
He will kill those two tonight to soothe his wounded heart.
Hua Ying straightened her clothes, gave Lin's Shop a cold snort, and returned to her white sedan chair. "Let's go to the inn."
The attendant beside him was embarrassed and stammered, "Young master... there's no inn here..."
Flower Shadow: ...
I've seen poor county towns before, but this poor is truly something I've never seen before...
So, Hua Ying, who used her financial power, rented a small courtyard next to the old locust tree in the west of the city and moved in.
But as he approached the courtyard, he glanced meaningfully in the direction of Lin's shop.
