Chapter 59
59 Take What You Want
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she smiled and shook her head. She continued to refuse, “Sir, I won’t leave this place! This place is very good. Although it’s not as prosperous as White Foothill City, this is my hometown, the place where I grew up. Don’t people often say that it’s difficult to leave your hometown? I think so too! So, thank you for your love!”
Seeing that Li Xiaoran still refused, the young master tilted his head and sized her up carefully.
“Then, are you engaged? If you aren’t, you can consider me! My name is Zeng Youliang. I’m from White Foothill City. My family is well-off, and I’m a foodie. Don’t worry, I’m a foodie, but I also know how to cook! If you marry me, I guarantee that we can do business together, sell tasty food, and live a peaceful and blissful life!”
As soon as he said this, Li Xiaoran widened her eyes and looked at the young master in front of her.
Could it be that this person was here to tease her?
Li Xiaoran’s expression darkened, and then she said coldly, “Sir, I’m sorry! I’m already married, and my husband is very good. I have no intention of remarrying! If you like the noodles sold at our stall, please come more often in the future to take care of our business! As for other things, there’s no need to say anything else! Please respect yourself!”
Zeng Youliang’s eyes flashed with disappointment when he heard Li Xiaoran say that she was already married.
Seeing that Li Xiaoran was very angry, Zeng Youliang knew that his question was very intrusive, so he quickly cupped his hands and apologized.
“I’m sorry! I was out of line! I just enjoyed the food very much. The noodles cooked by you tasted very good, so that made me greedy for me! Don’t worry, from now on, I definitely won’t spout nonsense anymore! I’ll come back to eat noodles tomorrow!”
Seeing that the other party was sincerely apologizing, Li Xiaoran didn’t continue to look hostile.
“It’s good that you know! You’re welcome to come again!”
Zeng Youliang apologized again and turned to leave.
After he left, a woman at the stall said, “Young lady, you’ve done well! Zeng Youliang is a famous foodie. He has done all kinds of things before because of other people’s good culinary skills. However, Zeng Youliang is quite principled. After being rejected, he won’t pester you anymore. Congratulations to you for having another regular customer in the future!”
Li Xiaoran glanced at the woman and asked with a smile, “Do you know Zeng Youliang?”
“Of course I know him! This person is famous.” The woman said, “Go to Liu Xu Street in White Foothill City and ask around. Everyone knows his name! He is a total foodie. He even likes to invite friends to try out all sorts of foods together. Many people will come to him with tasty food when they need his help!”
Li Xiaoran and Li Xiaoqing were both stunned. They didn’t expect such a person to exist in this world.
“That’s why! In the future, your stall will welcome many rich kids! However, don’t worry. Most of the rich kids who hang out with Zeng Youliang are well-mannered and generous, so they won’t cause trouble in the village!” The woman told her what she knew.
Li Xiaoran knew that the woman had good intentions when she said this. She smiled and thanked her before continuing to cook the noodles.
The woman also smiled and then went back to eating her noodles.
When the people from the other stalls around them learned of this news, they all revealed envious expressions.
However, after what happened to Zhao Chunhua, those who had other thoughts didn’t dare to reveal them. They could only secretly envy her.
It couldn’t be helped. Their food didn’t taste good enough! It couldn’t attract those foodies!
At this moment, Luo Han, who had been eating his noodles, put down his chopsticks and shouted, “Please charge me for the noodles!”
Luo Han had arrived a long time ago. He had come when the man called Zeng Youliang arrived.
He had changed into a very simple outfit from Luo Cheng’s wardrobe and mixed in with the customers who came.
When Zeng Youliang was pestering Li Xiaoran, Luo Han had been watching.
He really didn’t expect that Luo Cheng would marry a random farm girl.
At least from the beginning until now, Li Xiaoran’s performance was commendable.
It seemed that even if Luo Cheng casually married a wife, he wouldn’t marry one that was useless.
When Li Xiaoqing heard Luo Han’s voice, she quickly walked over and said, “Sir, your bowl of noodles costs five copper coins!”
Luo Han nodded, then reached for the silver, only to find that he was only carrying only bits of silver.
After some thought, Luo Han took out the smallest piece of silver.
“Here, this is the dough money. The rest can be considered a reward!”
Li Xiaoqing was stunned when she saw the silver.
“That’s not good!” Li Xiaoqing thought for a moment and said, “Why don’t I help you find someone else to exchange for copper coins?!”
With that, Li Xiaoqing took the silver pieces and went to exchange them with other merchants.
It had to be said that there were still a lot of merchants in this stall. Soon, Li Xiaoqing exchanged the silver. She kept five copper coins. The remaining copper coins were given to Luo Han.
Luo Han didn’t know how to react when he saw the pile of copper coins in his hand.
“You don’t have to be so upright! I said that it was a reward for you guys. Can’t you just accept it?”
Li Xiaoqing shook her head.
“No! My sister said that we have to upright people. When doing business, one has to earn money in an upright manner! We deserve five copper coins, but we don’t deserve the extra money! We can’t be greedy. We have to be satisfied with what we deserve so we won’t get overcome with greed!”
Luo Han didn’t expect this little girl to give him a lesson!
Everyone knew that one should earn money in ethical ways, but very few of them actually did it.
It wasn’t easy for this farm girl to know this and actually do it.
“Is your sister the one who makes knife-cut noodles?” Luo Han asked after a moment.
“That’s right! She’s my sister! My sister is a very impressive person!” As Li Xiaoqing spoke, she saw another customer shouting for the bill and quickly ran over.
Luo Han stood up and looked at the noodle stall while feeling enlightened.
Although this noodle stall was small, every customer who came here was beaming with happiness.
Even if some people came with a bad mood, they would be infected by the warm and cozy atmosphere later. They would calm down and enjoy this bowl of tasty food.
At this moment, Luo Han seemed to understand what Luo Cheng had said earlier.
