The Hunter's Lucky Little Lady

127 Waiting for the Right Time

After confirming that the house was safe, Li Xiaoran looked around.

After that, Li Xiaoran took out a small note from her palm.

“Look, this is the note Aunt Hui secretly gave me!”

Seeing this, Luo Cheng took the note.

The words on the paper were small, but Luo Cheng could see them very clearly.

After a while, Luo Cheng placed the note in the brazier and burned it.

“Hey, husband, I haven’t seen it yet!” Li Xiaoran reminded anxiously.

“Don’t worry, I’ve already memorized it!” Luo Cheng glanced at Li Xiaoran and fiddled with the paper that had already burned to ashes.

“Our previous feeling was right. Aunt Hui wrote in the note that we should keep a distance from her. We just have to buy and take the duck eggs normally every month. She told us not to get involved in anything else. Her family has their own way of getting away!” Luo Cheng enunciated the words on the note.

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately had a guess.

“Do you think the people who are secretly monitoring Aunt Hui are the ones who are helping Aunt Hui’s son recuperate? But why are these people doing this?”

“What you said isn’t entirely right, nor is it completely wrong. We have too little information now, so it’s better not to jump to conclusions first. I’ll say the same thing as before. We mustn’t be anxious. We have plenty of time to take it slow!” Luo Cheng couldn’t understand either and finally said.

Li Xiaoran nodded and the two of them went out to wash the duck eggs.

It had to be said that washing so many duck eggs was a torturous task.

After washing for a while, Li Xiaoran felt that her waist couldn’t take it anymore.

“Husband, why don’t we invite the villagers over to help wash them?! We’ll just give them some wages a day!”

Luo Cheng also felt that it would be too tiring for them to wash so many duck eggs, so he agreed after some consideration.

“Then let’s invite everyone in the village to our house to wash up?” Li Xiaoran thought of a question.

“Then why don’t you ask Little Huzi to bring people over to wash them?! Sister, Brother-in-law, don’t underestimate Little Huzi and the others. They’re very meticulous. This job can also help them earn some money for themselves!” Li Xiaoqing thought of something and suggested.

Luo Cheng also thought of Little Huzi and remembered that the children who played with Little Huzi had good personalities, so he nodded and said, “Then ask Little Huzi to bring people over! But I have to say this first. If anyone tries to play tricks, they won’t get their salary!”

Li Xiaoqing smiled when she saw that Luo Cheng had agreed.

“Brother-in-law, don’t worry! Little Huzi is very reliable!”

With that, Li Xiaoqing took the initiative to go out to look for Little Huzi.

Luo Cheng was a little worried, so he looked at Luo Ziyang.

“Ziyang, go with her!”

Luo Ziyang knew that Luo Cheng was asking him to protect Li Xiaoqing, so he nodded and got up to chase after her.

Li Xiaoran was relieved to see Luo Ziyang follow.

“By the way, Father, Mother, how’s business at the noodle stall these days?” Li Xiaoran asked as she washed the duck eggs.

Li Shun thought of something and replied, “Not bad, but as the weather gradually cooled, the number of people coming and going on this official road began to decrease!”

“Why didn’t I notice?” Zhao Xiu said in confusion.

Li Shun glanced at his wife and smiled.

“You and Xiao Qing are usually busy cooking noodles. When I was cleaning up, I counted them whenever I had time. In the past two days, the number of people coming and going has decreased by more than ten!”

When Li Xiaoran heard her father’s words, she was immediately shocked.

It seemed that her father was also quite keen. He actually noticed these things.

“In that case, we should reduce the amount of dough in the future!” Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, “Husband, can our shop be constructed before winter?”

Luo Cheng calculated carefully and said, “It should be done by the eighth of November!”

Li Xiaoran counted and said, “Then hold on a little longer! If it doesn’t work, let’s just sell less knife-cut noodles!”

“Just reduce the amount of dough. We’ll sell some every day and close the stall after selling! There were many stalls previously, but in the past few days, there have been a few stalls missing. I don’t know if it’s because of the weather or because they didn’t earn any money so they don’t plan to come anymore!” Zhao Xiu thought of something and said what she had seen.

“Doing business requires skills and knowledge! Therefore, if you want to earn money, you have to think about the needs of the customers! The reason we were able to set up a stall to earn money is our special geographical location. It happens to be in the middle of the official road, so there will be customers. People with business acument will choose some suitable food to sell.” Li Xiaoran told her what she had noticed previously.

“Take the stall selling sugar-coated fruits on the side of our land! Every time a customer comes, they go elsewhere to buy what they want. After that, very few people patronize the sugar-coated fruit stall. Tell me, why is that?” Li Xiaoran asked another question.

“That’s right. Why?” Zhao Xiu didn’t understand either. “I even went to buy that sugar-coated fruit previously. It actually tasted very good!”

Li Shun didn’t understand either, so he looked at Li Xiaoran. “Daughter, don’t keep us in suspense. Hurry up and tell us.”

Luo Cheng was also curious and looked at Li Xiaoran.

“That’s because the smell of the fruit is too strong!” Li Xiaoran explained, “Actually, think about it. Anyone who has been traveling for a while wants to eat something warm and light when they see something to eat. The sugar-coated fruit tastes good, but people who have been traveling for a long time don’t want to eat it. Firstly, it’s because they won’t be able to digest it. Secondly, it’s because they’ve been eating dry food for a long time. Their stomachs have already become very weak. Their bodies naturally won’t be able to withstand eating such sugary food!”

Luo Cheng couldn’t help but nod.

He had often gone out to travel in the past, and he did want to eat hot food when he traveled.

If he saw a noodle stall when he was hungry, he would definitely choose noodles.

The noodles were soft, and there was hot soup with vegetables. It was filling and easy to digest!

It turned out that Li Xiaoran had considered all the factors from the moment she decided to do business and finally chose to make knife-cut noodles to sell.

It had to be said that knife-cut noodles was indeed the favorite food of people traveling.
