Shrewd wife of Lin brothers

Chapter 49 - Such An Annoying Tsundere



Little shi  soon finished setting up the stall while  Lin Yan who had been working hard for creating  a wonderful finish in their restaurant's  signature  dish  was already finished cooking the fish steak  and was now stirring  the mushroom curry . Lin Jing  who was given the task  to waft  over  the smell  of the cooked food around  was moving the fan so fast that  he was creating after images of it . As for Lin  Yu and Lin Rui both of them  were standing  beside the stall , both of them  turned around and once they confirmed that Lin Yan  was almost finished  cooking  the Sainsbury's fish steak with mushrooms they smiled  at each other .

Cupping  his mouth  Lin Rui shouted " Come and taste our restaurant's signature  dish , a dish you have never  tasted before  - its filled with meat ; rice and mushrooms - a filling bowl of our delicious  dish just for five copper coins " 

​​

Once  Lin Rui  started  attracting  the crowd  , Lin Yu cupped his mouth too , a bit hesitantly  , he turned around and looked at Su Wan  who nodded at him.Lin Yu at once got a surge of courage and he too started  shouting as loudly as he  could " co..come e..eat del..de...delicious fo..food , a bowl for ju..just  five co..copper coi..coins " 

" what ? they are selling a dish for five copper  coins that includes  meat , mushrooms  and rice  as well,?" 

" Are  they stupid  ?Meat is so expensive  right  now . Who's  gonna sell so much for just five copper coins  , aren't  they afraid  of losing  money ? " 

Although  Lin Rui and Lin Yu stirred  the interest of a lot of dockworkers  , even the buyers stopped and glanced  at their stall but neither of them brought  anything .

However , The Lin brothers didn't  feel anxious . They trusted Su Wan  if their wife  said that the dish  would sell , they believed that the dish  would really  sell well .

Su Wan  had already  predicted this outcome thus she wasn't  anxious either. There was no such  thing as instant success anyway , thus Su Wan  stepped out of the restaurant and took a bowl from Lin Yan , then she asked Little shi to bring a small bowl that was used to plate side dishes then plated  some of the rice  , mushroom  and half  of a fish steak  .Then she looked around the dock and finally walked  over to the man who  seemed to be glancing at their stall frequently then with a bright smile she said  " Sir , why don't  you give it a try ? My restaurant's  dish is really  tasty if you don't  like it you don't  have to pay ,you  can taste my dish  for  free , what do you say , Sir ? " 

The man was already tempted when he heard all that loud advertising  and now that a pretty  girl was giving him a taste  for free , he immediately  stretched  out his hand to take a bite but the companion  next to him at once  stopped him " Old Peng , don't  I heard that - that restaurant's  cooks are all crooks.  The last  time  anyone tried their cooking he had a stomach ache for three days !" 

Old Peng who heard his companion's  words withdrew his hands . 

Lin Jing and the others were a bit disappointed  but Su Wan  was completely  relaxed , smiling  she broke the fish steak  and took a small bite  . It wasn't  the dockworkers  fault that the original owner's  good for nothing  father hired a bunch of  shitty  chefs and ruined the integrity  of the restaurant  it was really common  that the dockworkers  didn't  have any trust  left for them " You see sir  , I just took a bite of the dish .If  there  was anything  wrong  would I be so daring ?" 

Old Peng hesitated  a bit but then he took the bowl from Su Wan's  hands  . The girl had already  said that the dish  was free  even if she asked him  to pay later , he had his companion  as his witness and if something  went south - humph , he , old Peng wasn't  someone who was easy to bully !

With that Old peng ate the small bowl of rice  and fish steak  with his chopsticks  . The moment he chewed , the savoury taste spread all over his mouth , the meat  wasn't  greasy and had no fishy  smell . The flavour  was mellow yet utterly enticing  , Old Peng 's eyes shone with delight as he gobbled  the rest of the rice as well and stood up" Delicious absolutely  delicious  , girl you said your food is five copper coins  right ? Give  me two , no three bowls !" 

Old peng was a hard working man thus three  bowl of rice  was nothing  to him .

Old Peng's companion  gulped then shook  his  head " its that delicious  ? It can't  be a Month  ago the dishes at that restaurant  was so unappetising  " 

Lin Rui narrowed his eyes at the companion  and smiled with no humour  in it " Mr . I do understand  your  lack of trust in us but I assure you time can change  a lot of things . A month ago  we weren't  here and the food was unsavoury  but now we are the one's  who is running  this place , we won't  do something so stupid as ruining  our customers trust in us and cause harm to our restaurant  right ?" 

Su Wan  smiled then placed the bowl in Little shi 's tray letting him serve  Old Peng  " that's  right , our restaurant  is here  and so are we , Our livelihood depends  on this restaurant  , will we be such a fool to ruin our reputation  in our own hands? Definitely  not , We want to build our reputation and recover our lost integrity  , Sirs " 

When Little shi  brought  the bowl to Old Peng  , the other was already tortured by the alluring aroma , he impatiently took the bowl from Little Shi and instantly dug in his food . The  bowl  was not small at all instead  , it was filled to brim and with its savoury taste , Old Peng  didn't  feel sorry at all for his fifteen  copper coins  ! The texture  was so smooth ! The rice was richly  coated with  the gravy and the mushroom were just right neither  too soft  neither too hard . 

" Wow this portion is a lot for five copper coins " exclaimed a dockworker 

The dock workers saw old Peng eating like a hungry ghost and their appetite triggered . Five  copper coin  was really too less for such a big bowl , infact it could be said that they were taking  advantage  of the family who were selling their  dish at such a low price  .  The dockworkers  didn't  earn much and their lunch only comprises  flat pancakes  , vegetable soup or dried meat buns - compared to these the bowl was a lot more tantalizing  .

Soon , the dockworkers  lined up and later on discovered that the food was really too delicious . There was a generous  amount  of fish and mushroom gravy and the fish steak was large  enough  to fill their stomach too..The food that 'Eat delicious 'was not only delicious but the amount was decent as well , the gravy was thick enough  to make the coarse  rice  soften as well !

" I'm so  tired !" originally the Lin Family's  plan was to look around the market  but they underestimated  the desire to eat good food of the dockworkers  . By the time Lin Yan finished cooking the last bowl of Sainsbury's fish steak and mushroom rice , he was so tired  that his legs wobbled. 

Su Wan  glanced  at him sympathetically and didn't  bring up the promise  of buying her something . Even if she brought  it up there was no point , it was already  three in the  noon and if they don't  return home soon they will be caught up in the evening  rain . So , all of them took the ox cart back and returned to village 

" Yeah , it  was really tiring " agreed Lin Rui  as he massaged  his  legs , the stall got so busy all  of a sudden  that he didn't  get a chance to breathe instead he and Lin Yu  had to act as servers  because  Little Cao was still at the medical centre ..

" Yeah but look at how much we earned  !" grinning happily Su Wan  shook the money pouch " a total of three hundred copper coins! " 

That was equivalent  to three silver taels ! 

" If we keep earning  like this we will soon earn enough to make up for mother's  medicine " said Su Wan happily  as she walked but soon her happiness vanished because their house was still three miles away! 

Aye she was so tired  , her legs were feeling like lead ! 

Unhappily  she turned to look at her husbands  who looked back at her in confusion . 

Hmm , Lin Yu  was too young and weak . .. Lin Rui was not strong  with that scholarly  aura ( Lin Rui : not strong , just  wait and see !) ...Lin Jing 's muscles  were too hard - then the only one left was Lin Yan  ! 

Su Wan  smiled coyly as she advanced at Lin Yan  who shivered  and took a step back .

" Wh- what's  with that look ?" trembling  he couldn't  help but  ask  .

Su Wan  pouted what  was with  all this  shivering  and trembling was she a monster ? 

But since  she still had use of  Lin Yan  , she didn't  snap at him instead , she twisted her waist and blinked her large almond eyes , trying to work her charm on him " Husband ~ Wan wan is sooo tired  , please carry me back home ~ " 

Su Wan  spoke in a childish  whiny voice that made goosebumps  break  all over Lin Yan 's skin and he hurriedly  spoke up " speak  properly  !" 

Humph , the more you want me to do something  the more I won't  do it ! Thought  Su Wan  " Husband ~ but please  !~ " 

" I'm  tired too !" 

" Fine " puffing her cheeks she turned around to ask  Lin Jing  to carry her but someone  most probably Lin Yan hooked his finger at the back of her collar " Alright , alright don't  whine , how can I refuse  you if you plead to me like that " 

Su Wan  : Who ? When ? Where  ? Who pleaded  to you ? You sure you don't  need to see a doctor  ? 

But before  Su Wan  could say anything  snappy , Lin Yan  crouched  in front  of her . At first she wanted  to refuse  but then she caught sight  of Lin Yan 's reddened  ears . Immediately  , Su Wan  became  speechless  ! 

Fine , being the nice  wife she was , she  won't  squabble with  him ! Who asked her to marry  an annoying  tsundere , anyway  ?
