Chapter 24: The Four Princes Gather at Zhonghua House

  Because the little fairy had a small role, she only rehearsed twice and devoted all her other time to the tea house. She bought many Chinese-style decorations in Chinatown to decorate their Chinese booth and also bought a lot of materials. By the day of the Sea Goddess Festival, she was almost ready.

  Looking at the transformed tennis club, Sugimura couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. The carved wooden chairs, screens, Chinese knots and red lanterns all looked like a traditional Chinese teahouse.

  "Jing City brother, isn't it great?" Yafeng asked with a pleased smile.

  "Yes, it's great." Kōmura praised without hesitation.

  "Hehe, let me introduce you to these tables, chairs and screens, which are all rented by me. They have a very Chinese style, right? The sign was written by my brother Xian Yilang, isn't it well-written? Doesn't he have the potential to be a calligrapher? Those small decorations were bought by me online, aren't they amazing? I also made many delicious dishes, including osmanthus cake, red date cake, steamed dumplings and so on. They are very tasty! And we even made menus!"

  Yafeng handed a menu with red peony printed on it to Kōmura, which had both Chinese and Japanese text. The menu included tea and dim sum categories, with Longjing, Pu'er, Tieguanyin, Jasmine, Chrysanthemum, Osmanthus cake, Red date cake, Green bean cake, Sesame sweet dumplings, Red bean sweet dumplings, Glutinous rice cakes, Steamed buns, and Small steamer buns. Fortunately, Yafeng had studied some snacks and dim sum in her free time, otherwise she wouldn't have known what to do.

  "That's amazing."

  "Hehe, how about it? Does Jing Shi gege want to try some of the dim sum I made?" asked Ya Feng with an extremely good mood.

  "This is unnecessary, I believe in Yafeng, those pastries must be very delicious." Kōmura said, stroking Yafeng's head.

  Afterwards, Yafeng taught Sanwai the basic method of making tea. Because in these few days he would be her assistant. Those pastries, Yafeng had already prepared a few days' worth. If there was a little less, she could also make it up in time. However, these few days really exhausted her. If it weren't for Tinata and Ko helping out, she absolutely wouldn't have finished.

  The sea festival began, and the Chinese restaurant also opened. Yafeng was in charge of desserts, Kuwahara was in charge of tea, Yukimura was in charge of accounting, Sanada, Liu, Ryūsei, and Ninomiya were waiters, Marui and Kirihara were greeters. From the moment the Chinese restaurant opened, customers flocked in, some came for the handsome tennis club members, some came for the novelty of the Chinese restaurant, and some came for the food, but as long as they came, it was a success.

  The first day of Zhonghua Square's performance was far better than other communities, but they were also exhausted, so they closed the door early and went home to rest.

  The second day of the Sea Festival is destined to be extraordinary, as not only can you eat, drink and have fun at various club stalls in the afternoon, but also enjoy performances by various clubs and fireworks displays.

  It was only half a morning when Zhonghua Square's performance surpassed that of others for the whole day, probably around 10 o'clock. A special group of guests arrived at Zhonghua Square.

  "Handa, you've arrived." Koshien saw Seigaku's entrance and hastily stood up to greet them.

  "Ah." Teshigawara replied briefly.

  "Kōmura, your Zhonghua Fang is quite something and very popular." Niji said with a smile.

  "Hehe, it's all Yafeng's idea. You guys sit down first, I'll get Yafeng to serve you tea and snacks."

  He had just gotten up when he saw Yafeng and Santanda bringing tea and snacks over.

  "Everyone from Qingxue, thank you for coming to support me. This tea is specially selected for you, I think it's very suitable for you. By the way, those pastries are also, hope you like them."

  Yafeng smiled and helped them pour tea, while Sanada put out some snacks.

  "Wow, all these dim sum were made by Yafeng?" Chui Wan asked, swallowing hard.

  "Hmm, just don't know if it suits your taste."

  Yahiko hadn't finished speaking when Kikumaru and Momoshiro started eating already.

  "It's really delicious, seniors don't snatch mine."

  Taoyuan was sighing while competing with Chrysanthemum, and others were also wolfing down their food, seeing that what they made had been recognized by others. Yafeng was still very happy.

  "It's really delicious, Yafeng is amazing." said Ni Feng warmly with a smile.

  "Hehe, as long as you like it, I feel very accomplished." Yafeng also smiled brightly.

  Just as Qing Xue was struggling with food, Bing Di also arrived.

  "Koumura, your Chinatown is quite magnificent." Tsube said as soon as he entered, admiring himself.

  "Ah, you're here, take a seat." said Kōmura.

  Ji Bu had just sat down when Ya Feng walked over again with Liu, carrying tea and refreshments.

  "Yu Shi Gege, you must try these pastries I made today, there won't be a shop like this after we leave the village."

  "Hehe, looks like I'll have to savor it carefully." Nianzu said with a smile, gently stroking Yafeng's head.

  "Yu Shi Gege, you're not going to grow taller." Yafeng said with a bit of dissatisfaction, she had always been puzzled as to why these people liked touching her head so much.

  "Hehe, how could that be? Our Yafeng will grow up to be very tall later on." Ninxu's expression didn't change at all as she continued to gently stroke Yafeng's hair.

  "These sweets were made by you?" Tsuba asked in surprise.

  "Hehe, yes indeed, Traces-sama, aren't you surprised? This tea was also brewed by me. I know that Traces-sama has a special fondness for rose tea, but since there is no rose tea in traditional Chinese tea, I've brewed my favorite jasmine tea for you instead. Although it may not match your elegant taste, I still hope you'll do me the honor of having a sip."

  The elegant wind doesn't know whether it's still entangled in the tangles of her hair or intentionally targeting the Traces Department, anyway, the tone is quite unpleasant.

  Ji Bu Duan drank the tea that Ya Feng had poured for him, then said: "Although it's not as luxurious as rose tea, it's refreshing and delicious, and it still meets this lord's standards of luxury."

  "Wow, the dim sum made by Yafeng is so delicious!" Cilang looked at Yafeng with a satisfied expression, then asked with an expectant face "Can Yafeng make it for me to eat again in the future?"

  "Of course." Yafeng gazed at Cilang, as if his previous bad mood had all disappeared, and it seemed that he was only truly satisfied when he said it tasted good himself.

  This scene was seen by many people, some were watching the show but others felt uncomfortable in their hearts.

  Next appeared is Sita Temple.

  "Kōmura, your Zhonghua Square is very successful, congratulations." said Hakuishi to Kōmura.

  "Thank you, please take a seat first, I'll serve tea and snacks right away."

  "Yu Shi, it's been a long time since you've come back, grandma has been missing you at home." Jian also said to Ren Zu.

  "Ah, got it, I'll head back as soon as possible." Rinzu replied, pausing for a moment before asking: "How was Yafeng's trip home last time?"

  "Everything is fine, but I heard from Tadakatsu that there was a bit of trouble on the way back."

  "What's wrong?" Ninxu asked a bit urgently, and some people also perked up their ears.

  "It's nothing, really," said Shirakawa, soothingly patting his knee before continuing: "My older sister told me that on the way back, Hidari Nae-chan had a relapse of her old illness and she herself just watched the play all the way, but I'm afraid Yafuu was startled."

  Can't help but cover forehead, secretly blaming myself for forgetting these two characters.

  "We still don't know what kind of people they are, anyway Yafeng will have to face it sooner or later, now is just a bit earlier. Besides, Hanae said she's only watching the show and not getting involved." Kenji comforted.

  Ning Zu nodded slightly, if Huirizi sister hadn't interfered, it would have been fine. You know, Huirizi sister is the real dark mastermind among them, these few are just victims.
