Chapter 103 Back at the Villa for a Cup of Herbal Tea and a Check of the Accounts
After they returned to the yamen, Bai Mengran switched the public carriage back to carrying passengers.
So when the two left the government office, Bai Mengran prepared to release her mount for transportation.
Although the system repeatedly assured her that even if she hid on her mount invisibly in front of others, they would not notice anything amiss due to the system's deception.
But she was still a little guilty. There were two yamen runners standing right in front of the yamen. She was worried that she might not be completely invisible in front of them and then ride away on a big fish.
So, just to be on the safe side, she pulled Jiaojiao outside, intending to find a secluded place to release the fish.
Turning into a small alley not far away, Bai Mengran looked around to make sure no one was watching before releasing her koi fish mount and choosing to ride it with another person.
This time, the two little ones were much calmer. They no longer shouted when they saw the beautiful koi, but they were still excited and overjoyed inside.
The two mounted their mounts one after the other. Bai Mengran gave the command "Go home," and the koi carp beneath her nodded intelligently. With a flick of its large tail, it took off into the air.
It wasn't far from the Fairyland to begin with, and after the koi carp ascended, it took only about half a minute to reach the sky above the Fairyland's entrance.
Bai Mengran glanced at the house and land deeds she had just received and hadn't even had a chance to warm them up. She first stored these two items in her [Mind Bag], which was like storing them in her personal safe, making her feel at ease.
Thinking that this shop leading to the "fairyland" now completely belonged to her, Bai Mengran felt as soon as she arrived at the door that she had finally returned to her own territory.
He immediately became bolder, and while in stealth mode, he [landed] and [dismounted], directly appearing at the entrance of [Fairyland] with Jiao Jiao.
Jiang Yu, who was greeting guests at the door, was the first to notice them.
She paused for a second, seemingly not understanding when Boss Bai had appeared, but she had a vague feeling that they were supposed to be there, so she immediately went up to greet them.
Seeing the two suddenly appear, and knowing that the others didn't react strangely, Bai Mengran finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She glanced at the open space beside the door. Apart from a few scattered carriages, it was still in its original state, with weeds growing all over the ground.
With a little over an acre of land, if properly planned, it should be able to accommodate quite a few horse-drawn carriages at the same time.
Now that she has the land deed and also received the reward of an upgraded surrounding environment, Bai Mengran plans to have the system arrange it tonight.
Once the exterior of this "Fairyland" is finished and a promotional video is filmed, it will be more than just a shop; it might even become an ancient version of a popular tourist attraction.
This idea filled Bai Mengran with joy. She glanced at He Yuejiao, who was already eagerly walking in ahead of her, and quickly followed suit.
Upon arriving at the "Fairyland," Bai Mengran could see two new shops in the distance, both located next to the existing shops.
However, it's a bit far away and not very clear; all we can see is that the gates are still closed and the business has not yet opened.
A few curious customers peeked out from the shop entrance, wanting to see what this newly opened shop sold.
"Jiaojiao, I still have some things to take care of. Why don't you go play by yourself for a while, and I'll come find you when I'm done?"
Seeing that Jiaojiao was having a wonderful time in her newfound paradise, with her eyes shining brightly, Bai Mengran decided not to interfere with her happy time.
Sigh, she said she wanted to relax, but how could she not work after coming back here? There are still so many things waiting for her.
"Oh, Sister Bai, are you still busy? Aren't you going to have something delicious with Jiaojiao?"
He Yuejiao felt that being with her sister was much more fun than playing by herself.
However, considering that Sister Bai has to manage so many shops, unlike her who only needs to eat and drink, it's not like she does.
Then she quickly put on a big smile and said sensibly, "It's okay, I can manage on my own, Sister Bai, you can go ahead and do your work!"
"Okay, Jiaojiao, remember not to eat too much yet. I'll treat you to lunch later."
After giving her instructions, Bai Mengran waved to Jiaojiao and told her to go play by herself.
She then returned to the villa and went to work.
However, she wouldn't treat herself badly. As soon as she entered, she opened the online store, thinking of ordering herself a drink.
Seeing the "new!" icon next to "[Unforgettable Milk Tea Shop]", I remembered that they updated their freshly brewed pure tea series last night.
When she clicked on it, in addition to various classic famous teas, there were also all kinds of flower teas that sounded quite tempting.
This is good; it's suitable for men or the elderly who don't like sweet drinks.
Now the variety of teas sold in milk tea shops is much wider, so that people of all ages and genders can find a tea that suits their taste.
She ordered a cup of jasmine tea to try it out.
Since the pure tea series is made by brewing real tea leaves with boiling water, it is recommended to choose hot drinks. Therefore, Bai Mengran did not add extra ice cubes and ordered hot drinks as recommended.
The jasmine tea I received came in a transparent cup, allowing me to see the high-quality ingredients inside.
Tender green tea buds or tightly rolled tea leaves float and unfurl naturally within the leaves. Scattered white jasmine petals add a touch of elegance, complementing the delicate green leaves.
As you bring the cup closer, a delicate aroma of tea reaches your nose, making you smile involuntarily.
Touching the cup, I felt it was the perfect temperature for drinking.
The hot beverage spout has a built-in tea strainer, a very clever design.
Take a small sip, and the first refreshing taste of green tea spreads across your taste buds, followed by the delicate fragrance of jasmine.
It's hard to say whether the tea stole the fragrance of the jasmine, or the jasmine gave itself its essence, making the two blend together perfectly.
After swallowing the tea, one feels a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth, with an endless aftertaste.
"What fragrant tea!" Bai Mengran exclaimed after taking a sip.
She used to love collecting all kinds of tea, especially flavorful flower teas.
In the leisurely afternoon, brew yourself a cup of fragrant and delicious herbal tea, read a book, and listen to music...
That pleasant and comfortable feeling was the most relaxing moment for Bai Mengran, as if time itself slowed down at that moment.
At this moment, sipping the jasmine tea in my cup, that relaxed and carefree feeling seems to overlap once again.
[Hehe, host, drink as much as you like~]
The system, which was sitting idle in the background and getting bored, immediately started to play along when it heard its host speak, determined not to let the host's words land.
"Tongbao, you're here. Let's get down to business."
Bai Mengran leisurely opened her account while sipping her tea, but what she saw made her exclaim "Ah!" loudly!
This startled the system, causing it to shudder. [What's wrong, host?]
"Uh, I'm so sorry, I was just too excited..."
Bai Mengran realized that she had startled Xiao Tongzi by speaking too loudly, but then she glanced at the balance that was still rising rapidly, "I didn't know until I looked, Tongzi, we actually made so much money again?!"
Right now, the account balance in the backend has reached [amount]! I'm rich! I'm struck it rich!
However, all of this was just temporary and fleeting; money comes quickly and goes even faster, and it was destined to be something she couldn't hold onto...
Thinking of this, Bai Mengran calmed down.
