XH 264 - Mother of Creativity

The town was not huge, but it was filled with people of different classes, living harmoniously with each other. The rich did not look down on the poor and the poor did not treat the rich any differently from others. They were friendly and helpful to one another, giving off a contrast that warms Xiao Hua's heart.

This town was named Lucky Rock because the founder found a special rock at an abandoned land that changed his life. Reluctant to part with it, the founder built his first house nearby it, before bringing the rest of his family and friends over as his neighbours to share the luck.

The lucky rock was located right at the center of the town, where visitors could only look but not touch. For fear of thievery, there were two guards tasked to guard over the rock at all times.

Long Lian may have invited her out to meet up at Lucky Rock Town, but Xiao Hua also has another purpose of coming to this town. It was to conduct her monthly visit to her restaurant, which Duan XiYing handled the business on her behalf.

The shop was a street away from the tourist attraction, named 'Xiao Bao', courtesy of Xiao Hua's decision to have steamed pork buns as the main menu, before introducing a variety of fillings.

In the beginning, everyone doubted that chili pork bun or yam meat bun would be delicious, but once one started to taste it and gave an honest review, 'Xiao Bao' restaurant became one of the best shops in Lucky Rock town.

"She is rather impatient." Yu Zheng saw that 'Xiao Bao' restaurant was crowded with two long lines, thanks to the newly release of two different type of crispy potato slices. One was with onion flavour while the other was chili flavour.

Understood that the 'she' that Yu Zheng was referring to was Duan XiYing, Xiao Hua swiftly spoke up. "I'm the one that gave her the green light to do so." The chef had done the best he could to replicate the taste from Xiao Hua's memory but without all the ingredients, the taste still fall behind from the potato chips she remembered. "All that's left is to see how well the mass reacts to potato chips before launching for real."

The one thing that caught the customer's loyalty towards their shop was 'Xiao Bao' would ask for feedback after they tasted the new product with a cheaper pride before the official launch and the shop was willing to change the taste for them.

Xiao Hua was aware that not everyone has the same taste. What she and her modern citizens would find delicious might not be so to this world's citizens.

Feedback was needed to prevent losses.

Fortunately, the customer's taste does not differ much from Xiao Hua's, other than saying the taste was a little heavier than they were used to. Though there were some that were rather nit-picky down to even the smallest detail for no reason that to do so. They were suspected to be 'Xiao Bao's business rivals.

Since the entrance was blocked and Xiao Hua does not want to be publicly known as the owner of 'Xiao Bao', they went to the backdoor to enter the shop.

A young girl at the age of a high schooler was the first to notice them. "Owner!" She greeted respectfully but was unable to hide her energetic mood.

She was wearing an apple green apron with a cute big meat bun sewed on it. The design was done by Heise, and the color of the apron was chosen by Long Lian, with Xiao Hua accepted the choices without any opinion. Although the color would make dirt on it very obvious, it helps the wearer look more bright and friendly.

As for Long Zhu, he contributed by writing the name on the signboard of the shop beautifully.

"Han Mei," Xiao Hua greeted with a smile. "How are you and your mother doing?"
