The Hunter's Lucky Little Lady Chapter 37

Chapter 37

A Mess

The noodles were quickly served and the person started eating with chopsticks.

While the guests were eating the noodles, Li Xiaoran’s gaze landed on the stall opposite hers.

She wondered what those people were selling. For a while, nothing was displayed.

Several people were now sitting there and grimacing. No one knew what they were doing.

Li Xiaoran counted carefully. There were a total of eight people there.

From the looks of the eight of them, they were probably idle people!

He said that he was here for business, but in the end, he didn’t know how to do anything.

“Hey, didn’t you say that you know how to cook? You said that your pancakes are the best. Now that I’ve asked you to make pancakes, why aren’t you doing it?!” The yellow-toothed man who was the first to get up stared at the unlucky guy who was beaten up by the Li family’s sisters.

He was called Mao Dao. He had a very capable sister in the family.

Perhaps it was because his sister was too capable, but Mao Dao’s family doted on him and made him a slacker.

Later on, when his sister got married, the family began to compare Mao Dao with his sister. They always said that Mao Dao wasn’t as good as his sister. This made Mao Dao even more rebellious.

That was why he hung out with the other idlers in the village.

“Huang Tao, don’t glare at me! I’ve made pancakes before, but the pancakes I make are made of white flour. Look at what kind of noodles you brought. You brought sorghum noodles, so why should I make pancakes?” Mao Dao said speechlessly, “Besides, my waist hurts so much that I can’t even knead white flour! If you knead the noodles well, I can make pancakes!”

The other six looked at each other. No one knew how to knead dough!

The eight of them were dumbfounded. They had no idea what they were here for.

“Then what should we do? When I went out, I promised my father that I would definitely make a name for myself this time and make him see me in a new light!” Sun Li said angrily, “These things were all bought with the copper coins I’ve saved up!”

“You make it sound like we don’t have any copper coins. I’ve also taken out all my a.s.sets. As you know, I’m counting on this stall to improve my life! I don’t want to go back and see my aunt’s stuck up att.i.tude again!” Yuan Cheng said unhappily.

Among the eight of them, his life was the most difficult.

He had dug up some herbs from the mountains and sold them for a few months to earn this little amount of money!

This made the scene even more silent.

At this moment, the group was at a loss as to what to do with the ingredients they had bought.

The conversation naturally reached Li Xiaoran’s ears.

Looking at this group of people and sensing their emotions, Li Xiaoran couldn’t help but shake her head.

It wasn’t easy to set up a stall!

Especially for eight people who were used to slacking off.

It was one thing not to build a stove, but they didn’t even bring firewood.

When doing business like this, nine times out of ten, they would end up losing money.

Naturally, Luo Cheng had heard the commotion, but he had no intention of interfering.

He wasn’t a good person who would help others when they were in trouble!

He really looked down on this group of people.

All of them were already so old. They should have gone out long ago to find work and earn money to support their families.

Yet all of them were idling around in the village. They were really useless and not worth his effort.

At this moment, the two guests had finished eating and placed the noodles on the table.

“Little girl, your noodles taste really good! Even I, who didn’t like noodles in the past, think that your noodles taste very good!” The tall man praised sincerely, “With the taste of your bowl of noodles, if you sell them in White Foothill City, the place will be packed!”

Li Xiaoran was also happy to hear the customer’s praise, so she smiled and replied, “We don’t deserve your praise! We’re just earning hard money! Although White Foothill City is good, it’s too far from home. We can take care of each other when living together, so we should be content!”

Seeing Li Xiaoran say this, the tall man didn’t say anything else. He nodded and got up to leave.

After sending off the two guests, Li Xiaoqing asked while was.h.i.+ng the dishes, “Sister, the previous customer also said something about Brother Liu. Could it be that the first customer who came to eat noodles recommended them?”

Li Xiaoran recalled what the guest had said and smiled.

“Looks like it!”

“Hahahaha, it seems that our noodle stall has been recommended by our customers! This means that the knife-cut noodles cooked by my sister are indeed delicious. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have attracted customers!” Li Xiaoqing said happily.

“That’s right! I hope that our noodle stall’s business will get better and better. When we earn money, we can even buy this piece of land and build a roadside shop. Then, our business will get bigger and bigger!” Li Xiaoran said with antic.i.p.ation.

When Li Xiaoqing heard her sister’s words, she looked around and thought of something.

“Then let’s hope we can earn the money to build the shop quickly. It’s autumn now, so it won’t be that cold. When winter comes, we’ll suffer if we come to set up a stall to sell noodles!”

These words reminded Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng.

Looking at Li Xiaoran’s thoughtful expression, Luo Cheng almost wanted to offer to help Li Xiaoran build the shop.

However, Luo Cheng swallowed his words.

Based on his understanding of Li Xiaoran, she definitely wouldn’t agree.

Li Xiaoran seemed to be easygoing and had a good personality, but she was very stubborn.

Once she had decided on something, not even ten cows could pull her back. She could be considered a person with a lot of individuality.

As Luo Cheng thought, Li Xiaoran really didn’t want Luo Cheng to help at all.

Li Xiaoran calculated her recent income.

“It shouldn’t be a problem. When the time comes, let Father go to the mountains to get some yellow mud and some stones. We’ll buy land first and build a small shop. We’ll make do with it for now. When we earn more and more money later, we’ll build more shops!”

As the saying went, one had to eat one mouthful at a time and do things step by step.

They would get a small shop first. It wouldn’t cost much. It would be fine as long as it could keep out the wind and rain.

After making up her mind, Li Xiaoran suddenly thought of something else.

“Speaking of wind and rain, I remember something! When we go back today, tell Father to make a few big umbrellas out of bamboo and thatch to cover our stoves and tables and chairs. Otherwise, we won’t be able to set up shop on rainy days!”
