Translator: Henvee Translations Editor: Henvee Translations
Li Xiaoran made a list and asked someone to bring the things she wanted.
Soon, the stove, iron pot, and a large pile of ingredients were delivered.
Luo Cheng also brought a group of people over. In an empty space outside the food street, there was a lively scene.
The commotion here attracted the attention of many people. Only Luo Han’s people didn’t run out to watch the commotion.
After all, there were more important things for them to do here.
Li Xiaoran wasn’t anxious. After she assigned the tasks, everyone got busy.
It would take time to prepare the ingredients, wash them, and plate them. After a stove was built, Li Xiaoran asked someone to light firewood and start stir-frying the ingredients.
Then, Li Xiaoran wanted to stir-fry the hotpot base.
The steps of stir-frying the base of the hot pot were about the same. First, they would put the butter in the pot to boil, then add onions, ginger, and garlic to fry. Finally, they would add various condiments to boil. As for the taste, it depended on everyone’s own secret recipe.
Li Xiaoran followed the steps.
Soon, the aroma spread.
After causing so much trouble for so long, she was also hungry.
The tempting aroma kept wafting in from outside.
Under such temptation, someone couldn’t help but run out to take a look.
After one person came out, others came one after another.
At this moment, Li Xiaoran had already distributed the base of the hot pot to the other pots and began to cook the ingredients.
After everyone went out, Luo Han and the people around him were completely at peace.
At this moment, Wu Qinghe walked in and started laughing.
“Madam came up with such a brilliant solution! After making a few big pots of food, she used the aroma to resolve your trouble!”
Luo Han thought of something.
“Madam is cooking outside?”
“That’s right! Madam asked you to go out and eat hotpot! Don’t worry, there will always be a way to resolve the trouble. Come out and eat something delicious first. When you’re happy, the matter will be resolved!” Wu Qinghe said with a smile.
Luo Han was actually a little hungry, so he followed Wu Qinghe out.
At this moment, there were already many people outside. If Luo Cheng hadn’t brought many guards over, these people might have come over to snatch food!
When Li Xiaoran saw all these people, she called Ziyang over.
“Ziyang, take out the other two small stoves and split the hotpot ingredients in the last pot into two portions before cooking them on the two small stoves. Sell meat dishes at 20 copper coins a plate and vegetables at 10 copper coins a plate. If they want to eat them, they have to pay to come in and eat them!”
Luo Ziyang nodded and immediately arranged for his buddies to publicize this matter.
Soon, the onlookers began to move and a long queue formed.
Those who came to buy shops and houses were all rich people. They naturally didn’t lack money, so they paid for the ingredients.
Because there were limited ingredients, everyone was limited to two servings.
The first and second people each chose the dishes they wanted and went to two small stoves.
They poured the ingredients they had bought into the pot. After cooking them, they scooped them up and placed them in their bowls. Then, they went to the empty space at the side to eat.
Then, the third and fourth person who bought the ingredients came in to cook them again. After they were cooked, they scooped them into a dipping plate and went to the other side to eat.
After they ate a mouthful of hotpot, many people’s eyes lit up in amazement.
“May I ask what this delicacy is called?” One of them asked after eating the food in his bowl.
Li Xiaoran picked up a piece of pork ribs and said with a smile,
“If you want to know what delicacies you guys are eating now, please wait a moment! After we’re full, we’ll answer your questions!”
Hearing the consort’s words, everyone finished the food in their bowls and went to wash them before putting them back on the clean table.
Then, everyone waited quietly.
Some people who couldn’t bear to spend money on this delicious food went to the official road to buy some food to fill their stomachs because they were hungry.
Luo Han’s frown widened as he ate.
“Madam, you’re so brilliant! I was so annoyed that I wanted to hit people previously!”
When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Han’s words, she laughed.
“Even Ruyue suggested that I sprinkle a handful of powder to deal with those people! It’s just that I felt that this wasn’t a good idea, so I thought of such a way to save you!”
Luo Cheng asked, “What are you going to do next?”
Li Xiaoran said, “Let them reach a consensus with us first! If anyone still doesn’t understand and wants to attack our people, don’t blame us for using force!”
After Luo Cheng thought for a moment, he asked again, “Shall I or you do it later?”
Li Xiaoran said, “I’ll do it! If it doesn’t work, you can do it!”
Luo Cheng nodded in support of Li Xiaoran’s decision.
His wife wasn’t a weakling. Despite her petiteness, her audacity always shocked him.
As her husband, what he had to do wasn’t to help her make decisions, but to give her as much freedom as possible to showcase her abilities!
Some people enjoyed the meal, but others waited impatiently.
Time flew by. Li Xiaoran and the others finally finished their lunch.
Li Xiaoran asked someone to bring a bamboo ladder over. Then, she leaned against a big tree.
After carefully climbing up the ladder, Li Xiaoran sat on it and looked at the burning gazes around her.
Li Xiaoran cleared her throat and said loudly, “Fellow villagers, friends, I’m the consort, Li Xiaoran! I believe many of you already know!”
Hearing the commotion, Xu Niansheng and the others surrounded them.
When Xu Niansheng heard that Li Xiaoran was the consort, he was immediately surprised.
“Sir, did you hear that? That woman actually said that she’s the consort!” Little Six said in amusement.
A woman rolled her eyes at Little Six and said, “What’s so funny?! You must be from out of town! You don’t even know the consort!” “Huh? She’s really the consort?” Little Six was dumbfounded!
