Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots-Chapter 821 - 107 Red-Braised Whip (Second Update)

When Lin Yuan and Xia Zheng arrived at the Fragrant Full Building, they were both shocked. The restaurant, whose doors could welcome sparrows and whose entrance was littered with rotten vegetable leaves and stinking eggs, was this really their Fragrant Full Building?

And that signboard, hanging crookedly by one end, skewed over the doorway—it almost looked like the Fragrant Full Building had closed down for good!

If it weren’t daytime, Lin Yuan would suspect that what stood before her was the legendary haunted shop. Compared to the bustling Drunken Immortal Residence across the street, wasn’t their Fragrant Full Building just like a haunted shop?

"How, how did this happen?"

If Lin Yuan was shocked, then Xia Zheng felt an unmatched heartache. He was the founder of the Fragrant Full Building, so seeing it reduced to such a ghoulish state was more than he could bear.

"Dammit!" Xia Zheng roared with anger, instructing Lin Yi to knock on the door.

Yet before Lin Yi could move, they heard a disorganized flurry of footsteps nearby, accompanied by the murmuring of a crowd.

The noise didn’t last long before a group of men in Government Official attire arrived at the entrance of the Fragrant Full Building, rapping sharply on the door.

"Come out! Everyone inside, come out!"

The Government Official’s voice resonated loud and clear, and it wasn’t long before a sliver of the firmly shut main door was opened, and a head squeezed out to cautiously peek around.

The leading Government Official, losing patience, kicked the door wide open, grabbing a waiter by the collar while shouting, "What’s there to hide? Don’t think there won’t be consequences just because we’ve locked up your shopkeeper! You hear me? You’ve poisoned a young master, so don’t even dream of the Fragrant Full Building reopening!"

The waiter, his neck gripped, face flushed red, stammered and struggled to speak; he could only hum and haw in response.

Ignoring him, the lead Government Official threw him onto the street littered with rotten vegetables and eggs!

"What are you brothers waiting for? Get to work!"

After giving a shout to his fellow officers, the leading Government Official himself kicked a chair to get started.

"Please don’t, Officials! I’m the only one here; if you kick it, when the shopkeeper comes back, I won’t be able to explain!" The young waiter, not very old, was too frightened to stop them and began to cry out in distress.

Disdainfully smirking, the lead officer said, "You’re still hoping your shopkeeper will get out? Ha! Keep dreaming! Come tomorrow, we’ll be chopping off his head!"

Chop off his head?!

This time, it wasn’t just the waiter who was left speechless by fear; Lin Yuan was so shocked her heart began to pound violently.

Watching these officers brazenly rampage through the main hall, Xia Zheng’s anger surged uncontrollably.

Who would have thought his restaurant would see the day when people would dare to come kicking at its doors!

"Stop!"

Xia Zheng bellowed loudly, only to see the rampaging officers inside merely glance back casually. Although they felt a momentary chill upon seeing Xia Zheng, upon remembering the imperial uniforms they wore, they resumed destroying the place with reckless abandon.

He was just a graceful young master; unless he was some Yamen Officer from the Magistrate’s office, they weren’t scared at all!

Xia Zheng had expected his roar to make them stop, yet his presence was completely ignored!

Color rising to his face, Xia Zheng coughed awkwardly. Just as he was about to explode in rage, he heard the woman by his side suddenly shout. She rushed out in three quick steps, hands on her hips, "Stop! What is this madness? Dressed in official uniform and not doing anything upright! Running around inside the Fragrant Full Building causing chaos!"

The officers inside, caught off guard by her yelling, staggered. What did she mean by causing chaos? They were on official business!

The leading Government Official glanced dismissively at Lin Yuan. Seeing she was just a girl barely in her teens, he waved his hand dismissively as if shooing a fly, "Little girl, this is none of your concern! Go play somewhere else!"

Lin Yuan frowned and glanced down at her small frame. She was already thirteen, still a child? Well, she was still waiting for her first period, so what else could she be but a child?

"Hm?" Lin Yuan shook her head vigorously. She was in the middle of an argument; why was she thinking about that?

Xia Zheng thought she was frightened, narrowed his eyes and gave Lin Yi a meaningful look.

Lin Yi had been impatient to thrash those who dared to offend their young master and Madam, believing that wearing a Government Office’s robe gave them the right to do as they pleased. Fools!

Then, Lin Yi’s dark shadow flitted among that pack of rabid Government Officials, and a wave of pained howls rose one after the other.
