Their conversation reminded Li Xiaoran.
“That’s right. There’s a water source here and it’s near the mountain. There will definitely be mosquitoes in summer! Why don’t we plant some mosquito repellent plants?”
“Sister-in-law, there’s no need. We’ll prepare an herbal bag in summer. As long as we wear it, we won’t be bitten by mosquitoes. We’ll boil this mosquito repellent herb and scatter it around the shop every day. The mosquitoes won’t come. The customers won’t be bitten by mosquitoes either. Therefore, there’s no need for us to plant some mosquito repellent flowers!”
When Li Xiaoran heard that they didn’t have to worry about mosquitoes, she immediately beamed.
To be honest, anyone would hate being bitten by mosquitoes.
Especially since some mosquitoes were very poisonous.
After being bitten, it would start to itch and hurt.
“Then let’s plant roses!” Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, “Any type of rose is fine!”
“What’s a rose?” the group said in unison.
“How should I describe it to you guys? How about this? When I’m free, I’ll draw a painting. Then, you’ll know what roses are!” Li Xiaoran said.
Li Xiaoqing, who happened to walk out of the shop, heard this and immediately asked, “Sister, when did you learn to draw?”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately realized that she had let it slip again. Then, she added, “I learned it from your brother-in-law!”
When Li Xiaoqing heard this, she didn’t ask anything else.
The others didn’t find anything unusual and immediately forgot about this matter.
Seeing that no one was asking further, Li Xiaoran heaved a sigh of relief.
After that, more and more customers appeared on the official road. The rain had stopped at some point and the sky cleared.
Soon, evening arrived. After tidying up the shop, everyone went back to rest.
Mao Dao returned to his house, while Yuan Cheng and Gao Chen stayed in the shop.
“Let’s cook together! Let’s eat dumplings tonight!” Yuan Cheng thought of something and asked.
To be honest, Yuan Cheng was very happy.
Now, he didn’t have to worry about food and clothes, but it was still a little lonely living here alone.
Now that he had someone accompanying him, he was no longer alone.
“Where did the dumplings come from?” Gao Chen asked.
“Xiaoran left them for us! Previously, when Xiaoran saw that everyone from the caravan wanted to eat dumplings, she quickly hid two baskets of dumplings and two baskets of wontons. She asked me to secretly bring them back and put them away. However, she said that we have to keep the wontons and cook a pot for everyone tomorrow morning so that everyone can have a taste. Xiaoran said that she has to keep her promise to everyone!” Yuan Cheng said.
Gao Chen was stunned when he heard Yuan Cheng’s words.
“Here, big guy, help me wash these vegetable mosses. We’ll cook them with dumplings later as a side dish!”
Gao Chen nodded and rolled up his sleeves to wash the vegetables.
After Li Xiaoran returned home, she felt a little tired, so she wanted to cook some simple dishes!
“Father, Mother, how about I make bacon and potatoes for dinner tonight?” Li Xiaoran asked as she sat in a chair to rest.
“I think so. Speaking of which, I feel hungry too!” Zhao Xiu thought for a moment and agreed.
“I can eat anything. I’m not picky!” Li Shun replied as he made the furniture.
“Where are Xiao Qing and Ziyang?” Li Xiaoran asked again.
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Xiaoqing and Luo Ziyang walked over together.
“Let’s cook together!” Li Xiaoqing said.
Li Xiaoran nodded with vigor and went to get the ingredients.
The cured meat was taken down and handed to Ziyang, who roasted the skin before washing it.
Li Xiaoqing went to scoop the rice and then washed it.
Li Xiaoran took some potatoes and first peeled them with a knife before washing them and cutting them into pieces.
Soon, the cured meat and potatoes were cut into pieces. The rice that had been cooked until it was raw was placed in the pot. Then, it was boiled with water.
After doing all this, Li Xiaoran thought of something and went to the vegetable garden to pick a basket of peas. Then, she took some leftover fried meatballs and cooked a pot of peas.
When the soup was ready, the rice was also ready.
After dinner was ready, Li Xiaoran called everyone over to eat.
“Huh, where’s my brother-in-law?” Li Xiaoqing asked in confusion when she realized that Luo Cheng wasn’t around.
Li Shun thought of something and said, “Luo Cheng told me that he has something to deal with today, and he went to town, so don’t wait for him for dinner. Let’s eat by ourselves. By the way, daughter, Luo Cheng said that you don’t have to buy the ingredients needed in the shop. He’ll buy them and send them back tomorrow!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she knew that Luo Cheng must have gone to deal with the counterfeits, so she nodded and placed the cutlery. Then, everyone started eating together.
Li Xiaoran liked the crust the most. She used a spatula to shovel the rice with the crust into a bowl, then ate it happily.
“In the past, when I saw other people cooking risotto, I was so enticed by the aroma! Now, I finally don’t have to crave other people’s risotto anymore!” Li Xiaoqing said as she ate.
“Of course. In the future, we can eat whatever we want! We will slowly make up for the things that we have been lacking in the past!” Li Xiaoran said.
“Yes, I want to earn more money in the future, so I don’t have to care about the looks I get from others when I want to eat something. When the time comes, I’ll make the decision for myself!” Li Xiaoqing said generously.
“I don’t need you to work so hard to earn money. Just tell me what you want to eat! I’ve saved up a lot of money. You can eat whatever you want!” Luo Ziyang said as he ate.
“No, Brother Ziyang, I only feel comfortable spending the money I earned! I still think it’s better to use my own money!” Li Xiaoqing said, “After I earn more money, I’ll treat everyone to delicious food!”
“Alright, we’ll wait for Xiao Qing to treat us to something delicious!” Li Xiaoran said with a smile.
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Xiaoran looked at her sister and suddenly remembered something very important.
Before the new year, they realized that Li Xiaoqing was very strong. At that time, they even said that they wanted to hire a mentor for Li Xiaoqing.
She wondered how this matter was going!
Thinking of this, Li Xiaoran planned to ask Luo Cheng when he returned. At this moment, Luo Cheng was sitting with Luo Han. There was food in front of them, but they didn’t eat anything.
“Is the capital already so chaotic?” Luo Cheng asked with a dark expression..
