Chapter 347 The Pancake Shop (2)

Lin Xiaoyan went to the bakery and bought hot yogurt and a few loaves of bread. She casually asked, "Boss, is there a bakery around here that sells sesame seed cakes?"

The bakery owner laughed, "Yes, that shop only opened at the end of last year, and business is booming. But the sesame seed cakes are really delicious, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and they taste great!"

Lin Xiaoyan: "Boss, where is this sesame seed cake shop? I'd like to buy some and try it too."

"Turn right at the traffic light ahead, then go through two more traffic lights, and there's an elementary school on the street opposite the school."

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

"We close at this time. We open around 4 or 5 in the evening and then sell in the morning. Once we're sold out, we close again. If you want to buy some, you'd better get there early to queue up, or you won't be able to buy any!"

Hearing the boss's words, Lin Xiaoyan nodded, "Okay, then I'll go queue up early."

She looked at the sausage grilling machine next to the owner and said, "Boss, give me two more sausages!"

Boss: "Okay!"

"The sausage is ready, four yuan." The owner handed over the sausage.

Just as Nancy reached out to take it, Lin Xiaoyan stopped her, saying, "I'll take it."

Lin Xiaoyan took the sausage from the owner's hand, her fingers touching his hand.

"Thank you, boss. You're busy."

"Alright, take care."

Lin Xiaoyan carried the grilled sausage, and Nanxi carried the bread they had just bought. The two returned to the restaurant.

I arrived at the restaurant just as the food I ordered arrived.

As the three of them ate, Lin Xiaoyan said in a low voice, "Let's go for a walk around the neighborhood in a bit."

Upon hearing Lin Xiaoyan's words, Nanxi immediately understood what she meant.

Xiao Bo paused, looked at Lin Xiaoyan, and noticed her brows were furrowed. His heart skipped a beat. Was this... a job coming up?!
Right after dinner, parents were already dropping their children off at school on the streets.

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

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

At this moment, students were entering the campus one after another.

Lin Xiaoyan walked over and encountered many children along the way.

Various images flashed through my mind.

Before long, the students had all entered the school, and the school gate gradually became deserted.

After "watching" all the images, Lin Xiaoyan took a deep breath and looked at Nanxi and Xiaobo who were waiting for her.

"Let's go check out that sesame seed cake shop across the street."

The bakery owner just said that the sesame seed cake shop is on the street opposite the school.

The three of them walked over and immediately spotted a sesame seed cake shop.

Lin Xiaoyan stood in front of the sesame seed cake shop, looking at it.

"Young ladies, you've come too early. This shop opens at 4:30. Go back now."

The shop owner next door saw someone coming to buy sesame cakes and came out to say something.

Lin Xiaoyan looked over and saw that the shop next door was a fruit shop.

Lin Xiaoyan smiled and nodded, "Thank you, boss lady. We'll come back later."

"Remember to come at 4:30, or you won't be able to buy anything!" the fruit shop owner reminded her.

"Okay, thank you."

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

A man emerged from a steamed bun shop diagonally across the street, his gaze turning sinister towards them.

Lin Xiaoyan paused and looked at the man.

Nancy and Xiao Bo noticed the man's gaze and looked at him sharply.

The man realized that Nancy and Xiao Bo seemed like troublemakers, so he immediately turned around and went into the shop.

Lin Xiaoyan glanced at the steamed bun shop diagonally across the street, then at the sesame seed cake shop behind her, and said to Nanxi, "Let's go back to the car."

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

Upon hearing this, Nancy and Xiao Bo's expressions immediately turned very serious.

"This is extremely serious!" Xiao Bo's face was cold and hard.

Nancy took out her phone and started making a call.

Lin Xiaoyan had a headache. "The most important thing is that we still don't know what caused so many people to die from poisoning."
Did the shop owner intentionally poison the food?

The call from Nancy was connected. She quickly explained the situation and then hung up.

“It happened tomorrow morning. Let’s go to that pancake shop and take a look,” Nancy suggested.

Lin Xiaoyan: "Okay."

At 4:30 pm, Lin Xiaoyan and her two companions went to the sesame seed cake shop.

However, when they arrived, they found that there was already a line of people in front of the pancake shop.

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

From the conversation, it's clear that the sesame seed cakes at this shop are really delicious.

At 4:30, the sesame seed cake shop opened on time.

Lin Xiaoyan watched from behind and noticed that the pancake shop was run by a middle-aged couple.

As soon as the door opened, the two of them were so busy they barely had time to breathe.

The weather was still slightly cool, and the two of them were soon covered in sweat.

The owner continued kneading the dough to make sesame cakes, while his wife collected money and sold the cakes.

The small shop is doing very well.

Just then, a voice came from the other side.

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

Lin Xiaoyan looked across at the other side and saw the same menacing boss from noon.

Inside the steamed bun shop, the owner stood with his eyes fixed on the sesame seed cake shop.

His eyes held hatred, envy, jealousy, and confusion...

Lin Xiaoyan looked away and glanced behind her. More and more people were coming to buy sesame cakes, and the queue was very long.

Other shops, on the other hand, had very few customers.

Therefore, this pancake shop has the best business on this street.

Soon, it was Lin Xiaoyan's turn.

When the sesame seed cake was handed to Lin Xiaoyan, she touched the proprietress's hand, then turned around deftly and left with Nanxi.

After "watching" the scene with the proprietress, she took a deep breath, her face cold, and walked back.

Nanxi and Xiaobo paid attention to Lin Xiaoyan's expression while observing their surroundings.

Xiao Bo broke off a small piece from each of the sesame seed cakes and took it to check.

Lin Xiaoyan said, "It wasn't the pancake shop owner who poisoned it, it was someone else who poisoned it!"

Upon hearing Lin Xiaoyan's words, Nanxi immediately relayed the message.

Xiao Bo called soon after.

The sesame seed cake is not poisonous!

If it's not poisonous now, then the batch of sesame cakes tomorrow morning must be poisonous!
Therefore, the person who poisoned the food has not yet taken action.

Since the sesame seed cakes weren't poisonous, Lin Xiaoyan picked one up and took a bite.

Although the sesame seed cakes have cooled down and are not as crispy as when they were fresh out of the oven, they still taste delicious.

"Sister Nan, you should try it, it's really delicious!" Lin Xiaoyan gave one to Nanxi so she could try it.

Nancy took a bite and nodded, "Delicious!"

No wonder so many people buy it, the craftsmanship is truly excellent!
I never imagined that an ordinary sesame seed cake could be made so delicious.

...

"Ever since Old Wu and his friends opened a pancake shop here, business on this whole street has improved a lot!"

"Yes, some people come all the way here to buy sesame cakes, and sometimes they buy other things from us too. So we're making some money, haha..."

"Shh, keep your voice down, didn't you see Li Yuan's face turned blue!"
