“Yes!” The woman said with certainty, “Alright, stop arguing and listen to what the consort has to say first!”

Little Six immediately shut up. He also wanted to hear what Li Xiaoran would say.

Li Xiaoran looked at the people around her and said, “I believe everyone has already heard some news about the food street! Today, I won’t tell you guys about the food street for the time being. I’ll tell you about what’s going on around us first! More and more people are setting up stalls on the official road, which has almost formed a market! It’s also because of this official road that merchants have a place to rest and eat. The people in the villages nearby also relied on this official road to improve their lives!”

“But that’s not enough! It’s just that it’s far from enough for every family’s lives to improve. I want everyone’s lives to become better and better, so Mr. Luo and I made the decision to build this food street!”

‘Why do we insist on you guys signing a contract to buy a house and shop? It’s because we want this food street to develop. It’s so that when others mention White Foothill City in the future, they will say that there’s a special food street in Golden Sun Town, where people can taste many special delicacies that can’t be tasted anywhere else!”

“When our food street becomes famous, more and more customers will come to taste it and it will benefit the commoners around us! When tourists come, not only will they have to eat and drink, but they’ll also have to stay at inns and eat at restaurants. These restaurants need a lot of ingredients. We can sell the vegetables we planted nearby and have a good place to raise chickens, ducks, and fish. As long as people are diligent, we won’t have to worry about not being able to find a way to earn money!”

“In the past, in order to raise their families, many people left their hometowns to seek a way out. Now that the way out is at your door, as long as you work hard, you can earn money and support your family. Are you guys willing to grasp this opportunity?”

“Yes!” As soon as she said this, the villagers around him replied in unison.

Then, Li Xiaoran changed the topic and faced the people who had surrounded Luo Han previously.

“As for the people who want to buy houses and shops, since you think highly of the development of this place, you naturally want this place to become better, don’t you? Only by developing this food street better can you guys earn more money and improve your lives!”

As soon as she said this, the people who had surrounded Luo Han fell silent.

Li Xiaoran voiced her thoughts, “Perhaps you have the money to buy a house and shop here because you’re powerful and have businesses elsewhere, so you don’t care so much about this place. If that’s really what you think, our food street doesn’t welcome you! We want to make delicious food for our customers to try and we sincerely want this place to become better and better!”

“But aren’t your houses and shops built to be sold? Why aren’t you selling them? Since you’re making things difficult for us, we might as well not buy them! If we don’t buy them, you guys will lose all your investment!” One of the rich businessmen said disdainfully.

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she laughed.

“If that’s your plan, I can tell you that I’d rather give these shops and houses to those who sincerely want to make delicious food instead of selfish people like you, who only want to earn money and don’t care about the interests of others!”

As soon as she said this, someone’s eyes lit up and he asked, “Are you serious? Are you really willing to rent it to us for business?”

Li Xiaoran said, “Of course. As long as you can make delicious food and obtain our approval, and help improve our food street’s development, we welcome you! If anyone masters amazing culinary skills but can’t afford it, they can still come borrow money to open a business. As long as you sign the contract to borrow money and agree on how much to repay every month, we’ll lend you the money! Of course, you have to be able to produce delicious food that we approve of first!”

As soon as she said this, the surrounding people started discussing.

As Xu Niansheng looked at the consort in front of him, he suddenly smiled.

“A female benefactor who is old friends with us? As expected, we almost missed the opportunity!”

When the surrounding people heard Xu Niansheng’s words, their gazes landed on Li Xiaoran.

Was it her?

If it was her, it seemed that everything was possible!

“Do we need to pay interest to borrow money, Consort?” Xu Niansheng asked.

Li Xiaoran said, “There’s no need. You can just return as much money as you borrowed! However, there’s a limit to the time. Moreover, the amount of money you borrow isn’t up to you. We’ll estimate it according to the scale and cost of your business, then specify the amount of money we’ll lend!”

Now, those who wanted to take advantage of the loophole to extort money immediately gave up.

Xu Niansheng didn’t say anything else.

The others were also thinking about how much convenience Li Xiaoran’s conditions could bring them.

As for those who had good culinary skills, they were overjoyed and began to look forward to the future.

After Li Xiaoran sensed the change in these people’s emotions, she said,

“Lastly, I want to warn those who want to use force to do things. Don’t challenge our bottom line. We won’t let bygones be bygones. If anyone is insensible and threatens our people again, we don’t mind letting you have a taste of our force! At that time, you’ll have to bear the consequences!”

As soon as she said this, some people felt guilty, as if they had been seen through.

Li Xiaoran ignored these people and went down the ladder. Then, she asked someone to pack her things and prepared to leave.

Luo Han walked over and looked at Li Xiaoran as he asked, “Madam, do you know that if you make this promise, we have to fork out a lot of silver again?!” When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Han’s words, she laughed.

“Don’t worry! As long as we do as I said previously, it won’t cost much! On the contrary, I think it’s very worth it to exchange a sum of money for the prosperity of our food street!”
