CHAPTER 347: CHAPTER 347: SHAOBING SHOP (PART 2)

Lin Xiaoyan went to the bakery to buy hot yogurt and a few pieces of bread, and she casually asked, "Boss, is there a place selling pancakes around here?"

The bakery owner laughed, "Yeah, that shop just opened at the end of last year, and business is booming. But their pancakes are really delicious, crispy on the outside, tender inside, and taste great!"

Lin Xiaoyan: "Boss, where is this pancake shop located? I’d like to try it too."

"Just turn right at the traffic light ahead, then go through two more traffic lights. There’s an elementary school, it’s on the street opposite the school."

"Thank you, Boss. Are they open now?"

"They’re closed at this time, they open around four or five in the evening, and then sell in the morning until sold out. If you want to buy, you’d better line up early, or you might not get any!"

Hearing the boss’s words, Lin Xiaoyan nodded, "Alright, I’ll queue up early."

She looked at the sausage grill beside the boss, "Boss, give me two sausages too!"

Boss: "Sure!"

"The sausages are ready, four yuan." The boss handed over the sausages.

Nan Xi was about to reach out to take them, but Lin Xiaoyan stopped her, "I’ll take them."

Lin Xiaoyan took the sausages from the boss’s hand, her fingers brushing against his.

"Thank you, boss, you take care."

"Alright, take care!"

Lin Xiaoyan held the sausages, and Nan Xi carried the bread they just bought as they returned to the restaurant.

Just as they arrived, the dishes they ordered were being served.

The three of them ate as Lin Xiaoyan whispered, "Let’s take a walk around afterwards."

Upon hearing Lin Xiaoyan’s words, Nan Xi immediately understood her meaning.

Xiao Bo paused and looked at Lin Xiaoyan, seeing her frowning, felt a jolt in his heart—are we getting into something?!!!

Just after finishing their meal, the street was already filled with parents sending their children to school.

Lin Xiaoyan looked around and said, "Let’s go to the school."

The three of them set off together towards the vicinity of the school.

At that time, students were slowly entering the campus.

Lin Xiaoyan walked past, encountering many children along the way.

Various scenes flashed through her mind.

Soon, the students had all entered the school, and the entrance gradually became quiet.

After "watching" all the scenes, Lin Xiaoyan took a deep breath and looked at Nan Xi and Xiao Bo, who were waiting for her.

"Let’s go check out that pancake shop across the street."

The bakery owner just told them, the pancake shop is on the street opposite the school.

The three of them walked over, spotting a pancake shop at a glance.

Lin Xiaoyan stood in front of the pancake shop, observing it.

"Young lady, you’re here too early. This shop opens at four-thirty. Go back home for now."

The lady from the neighboring shop saw someone coming to buy pancakes and came out to say.

Lin Xiaoyan looked over and saw the neighboring shop was a fruit store.

Lin Xiaoyan smiled and nodded, "Thank you, ma’am, we’ll be back later."

"Remember to come at four-thirty, if you’re late, you won’t get any!" the fruit shop owner reminded.

"Alright, thank you."

Lin Xiaoyan turned around and looked at other shops on the street.

She saw a man from a bun shop diagonally across the street, staring at them maliciously.

Lin Xiaoyan paused, watching the man.

Nan Xi and Xiao Bo noticed the man’s gaze, their eyes sharply met his.

The man realized that Nan Xi and Xiao Bo seemed like they wouldn’t be easy to mess with and immediately turned back into the shop.

Lin Xiaoyan glanced at the bun shop diagonally across, then at the pancake shop behind her, and said to Nan Xi, "Let’s go back to the car."

The three returned to the car, and Lin Xiaoyan immediately described the scenes she had just "seen".

Upon hearing this, Nan Xi and Xiao Bo’s expressions turned very serious.

"This is a serious matter!"

Xiao Bo’s face turned serious.

Nan Xi immediately took out her phone and began making calls.

Lin Xiaoyan felt a headache, "The most important thing is, we still don’t know what’s causing so many people to be poisoned to death?

Is it the owner deliberately poisoning?"

Nan Xi’s call got through, she quickly explained the situation, and then hung up.

"The incident is happening tomorrow morning, let’s check that pancake shop later," Nan Xi suggested.

Lin Xiaoyan: "Alright."

At four-thirty in the afternoon, Lin Xiaoyan and the other two headed to the pancake shop.

However, when they arrived, they found that people were already queuing up in front of the shop.

Xiao Bo went to the front and chatted with the people in line.

From the conversation, they learned that the pancakes from this shop are truly delicious.

At four-thirty, the pancake shop opened right on time.

Lin Xiaoyan watched from the back and saw that the shop was run by a middle-aged couple.

As soon as they opened, the two of them were busy to the point that their feet seemed to hover off the ground.

The weather was still slightly chilly, yet it wasn’t long before the couple was sweating profusely.

The husband continued to knead the dough to make pancakes, while the wife handled the transactions and sold the pancakes.

The small shop’s business was extremely bustling.

Just then, a voice suddenly came from across the street.

"Steamed buns, steamed buns, three for one yuan, fresh and delicious steamed buns..."

Lin Xiaoyan looked across and saw it was the aggressive owner from noon.

The bun shop owner stood inside, his gaze fixated intensely on the pancake shop.

In his eyes, there was hatred, envy, jealousy, and confusion...

Lin Xiaoyan looked away and glanced behind her, seeing more and more people coming to buy pancakes, forming a long queue.

Meanwhile, other shops had few customers.

So, on this street, the pancake shop was the most successful business.

Soon, it was Lin Xiaoyan’s turn.

When the pancakes were handed to Lin Xiaoyan, she brushed against the shop owner’s wife’s hand, then swiftly turned around and left with Nan Xi.

After "seeing" the scenes with the shop owner’s wife, she took a deep breath, a cold expression on her face as she walked back.

Nan Xi and Xiao Bo kept an eye on Lin Xiaoyan’s expression while observing the surroundings.

Each pancake was torn into small pieces, and Xiao Bo took some to test.

Lin Xiaoyan said, "It’s not the pancake shop owner who poisoned the food, it’s someone else!"

Hearing Lin Xiaoyan’s statement, Nan Xi immediately relayed the message.

Xiao Bo’s phone call came quickly.

The pancakes aren’t poisoned!

They’re not poisoned now, which means tomorrow morning’s batch is poisoned!

Therefore, the person who poisoned hasn’t acted yet.

Since the pancakes aren’t poisoned, Lin Xiaoyan picked one up and took a bite.

Even though the pancake had cooled down, lacking the crispiness from fresh out of the oven, it still tasted very good.

"Sister Nan, have a taste, it’s really good!" Lin Xiaoyan handed one to Nan Xi.

Nan Xi took a bite and nodded, "Delicious!"

No wonder so many people buy them, the craftsmanship is indeed excellent!

Who would have thought such an ordinary pancake could be made so tasty?

...

"Since Old Wu and his family opened a pancake shop here, business on our street has improved!"

"Yeah, some people come from far away to buy their pancakes and sometimes grab some of our stuff too. We’re making money as well, haha..."

"Shhh, keep it down, didn’t you see Li Yuan’s face has turned blue!"
