章節 39: Repaying Kindness
編輯: Henyee Translations
When they heard Li Xiaoran's suggestion, Yuan Cheng and Mao Dao's excited look dimmed.
"That's what we thought before, but we don't know how to make sorghum buns!" Yuan Cheng explained dejectedly.
When Li Xiaoqing saw Yuan Cheng's dejected look, she placed her hands on her hips and said angrily, "If you don't know how to do it, then learn it! Who is born to know how to do things?! As long as you study hard, you can master it! Isn't that right, Sister?!"
Li Xiaoran nodded and looked at Yuan Cheng and Mao Dao. "I can teach you, but you must provide the materials yourself. Also, it's just that sorghum noodles aren't good. It's best to get some wheat flour!"
Actually, there was something that Li Xiaoran didn't say. It would be better if they could get some sugar.
However, Yuan Cheng and Mao Dao didn't look like people who could get sugar, so she didn't suggest bringing it over.
"By the way, I remember that there are wild onions all over the mountains! Go and dig some wild onions and put some in flour to make those sorghum buns with the smell of onions. I believe they will be easier to sell!" Li Xiaoran thought of something and said.
"Did you hear that? Did you write it down? Do as my sister says!" Seeing that Yuan Cheng and Mao Dao had yet to react, Li Xiaoqing immediately raised her voice and shouted.
"Yes, yes! We're willing to learn!" Yuan Cheng and Mao Dao nodded and said.
In this era, it was already a great blessing that someone was willing to teach them how to make steamed buns. If they still didn't agree, they would be foolish.
Thinking of this, Yuan Cheng looked at the Li family's sisters gratefully.
"Well, thank you for being willing to teach me how to make sorghum buns! Thank you for being willing to help me!" Yuan Cheng said gratefully.
"You don't have to thank me. It's also because you planted the good karma yourself! After learning this skill, the two of you should obediently set up a stall and do business! Stop fooling around!" Li Xiaoran reminded.
"Yes, yes, we will definitely do our best!" Yuan Cheng and Mao Dao nodded at the same time.
"Then build a stove with stones today! After that, dig some wild onions. Bring some sorghum noodles, wheat flour, pots, firewood, and so on tomorrow! By the way, prepare some banana leaves and brown leaves. Since you're going to bring them away for others, you have to provide the leaves and ropes that wrap the steamed buns!" Li Xiaoran thought of something and reminded them, "After these things are ready, come over tomorrow to set up a stall. I'll teach you how to make sorghum buns!"
Yuan Cheng and Mao Dao nodded. At this moment, the two of them felt that their lives were suddenly filled with hope.
Mao Dao even felt that his beating by the Li family's sisters wasn't in vain!
Afterwards, the two of them supported each other, then carried the sorghum noodles back to the village together.
After sending the two of them off, Li Xiaoran and Li Xiaoqing returned to the stall.
Luo Cheng only watched from the beginning to the end and didn't interfere with Li Xiaoran's actions.
"Are you really going to help them?" Luo Cheng asked now.
"Yes! I want to help!"
"Have you ever thought that you can actually make steamed buns yourself to sell?! Why did you give this portion of the money to others to earn?!" Luo Cheng reminded him kindly.
When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng's words, he smiled and looked over.
"Are you concerned about me?"
"No, I'm just concerned about my business!" Luo Cheng said stubbornly.
When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng's words and looked at his indifferent expression, she felt that he was very cute.
"Don't worry, it won't stop you from earning money!"
Luo Cheng was furious. Was this about earning money?
"There's no end to the amount of money to make in this world. It's not bad to share some profit with others! Besides, if we sell too much food here and it forms a certain scale in the future, we might be able to attract more customers to stay. At that time, our noodle stall's business will also be better! Look at the big picture. The immediate benefits aren't important!" Li Xiaoran explained.
"Look, now, since there are fewer customers, I'll only sell noodles. When there are more customers and everyone knows to come here to eat, then I can add more delicious food, more expensive food. For example, the wild game you hunt every time can be sold cheaply in town. You can hand it to me and make it into a delicacy to sell for more money!"
Luo Cheng didn't expect Li Xiaoran to think of things this way.
But on second thought, what Li Xiaoran said made sense.
She just had a small stall. She didn't earn much and it was hard work.
However, if this place became a market in the future, there would be more and more customers.
How did towns form? Wasn't it just that the people that passed by increased and eventually everyone gathered, so the place gradually developed into towns?
Thinking of this, Luo Cheng viewed at Li Xiaoran in a different light.
She was just a farm girl, but she had a unique vision and a long-term perspective.
He seemed to have picked up a treasure!
Recognizing this, Luo Cheng smiled happily.
Who didn't like talent!?
Even though Li Xiaoran was a woman, it didn't stop him from admiring her.
Then came another wave of customers.
Luo Cheng didn't idle either and got busy with Li Xiaoran.
For a moment, Luo Cheng had a thought.
It didn't seem too bad if the days ahead passed by so busily!
The three busy people didn't notice a person with a face full of jealousy hiding behind a few big trees not far away.
This person was none other than Li Yan, who had come to see how miserable Li Xiaoran was.
However, what she imagined didn't happen. Li Xiaoran and the others were still busy.
The people she had placed her hopes on were all gone.
Seeing this, Li Yan bit her lip with hatred and stomped her feet!
"Sister, I was wondering why you kept running out these past few days. So you came here! What are you looking at?"
A voice came from behind Li Yan.
Li Yan turned around and glared at her brother. Then, she looked hatefully at the noodle stall Li Xiaoran and the others had set up and left.
When Li Zhan saw his sister turn around and leave, he curiously looked in the direction where Li Yan had been looking.
When Li Zhan recognized Li Xiaoran and Li Xiaoqing, who were busy in the distance, he suddenly laughed.
"Looks like money's coming my way!"
With that, Li Zhan turned around and returned to the village.
At the same time, there were also people in the village who were jealous of Li Xiaoran's noodle stall. They hid at home and discussed how to set up a stall to sell food.
"I think that with my skills, I'll definitely earn more than those two girls from Li Shun's family if I set up a stall to sell food!" A woman with high cheekbones said unhappily.
