Chapter 206

206 Meeting Zeng Youliang Again

It had to be said that the things in this market were quite comprehensive.

The vegetables and fruits sold were very fresh.

At this time, it was already winter, but the vegetables everyone was selling were still very fresh.

“When I first came to Sichuan, I was stunned by the vegetables that appeared here in winter! In the past, when I lived elsewhere, it was very difficult to eat green vegetables in winter, except for those who had hot springs in their farms.” Luo Cheng looked at the vegetables and sighed.

“When it comes to the new year, there will be a lot less vegetables once it snows. However, those cabbages will taste much better after being crushed by the snow. Also, after the frost and snow, radishes will taste very good when stewed with cured meat!” Li Xiaoran looked at the surrounding market and said with a smile.

“You don’t know, but when winter comes and snow falls, everyone sits around the stove and cuts a piece of cured meat or pork ribs. Then, they go to the vegetable garden and pluck a few radishes to stew in the pot. What you hear is the bubbling sound in the pot, and what you smell is the unique fragrance of cured meat. The softness of the radishes makes people fell so warm and cozy!” Li Xiaoran imagined such a lively scene and described it to Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng had spent the new year alone all these years. Occasionally, Luo Han would come over to accompany him.

Fortunately, it wouldn’t happen this year!

Now, he had a family!

Thinking of this, Luo Cheng shook Li Xiaoran’s hand and looked at her warmly. “Then we’ll do the same this winter!”

“Sure!” Li Xiaoran agreed with a smile. “I also want to cut off the sausages we made and skewer them with bamboo sticks before roasting them on the fire. Let me tell you, roasted sausages have a different flavor and are even tastier!”

With that, Li Xiaoran drooled. It had been so long since she last ate roasted sausages.

“There are small shrimps here. Let’s buy some back to eat! Stir-fry them with chives. They’ll taste delicious!”

Luo Cheng immediately laughed when he heard Li Xiaoran’s words.

“Okay! Then let’s buy it!”

Just as the two of them were about to buy it, a person suddenly spoke first.

“I want all these shrimps!”

When Li Xiaoran heard that, she was a little angry.

It wasn’t easy to see some small shrimps for sale. How could she miss them?

This thing could be used to nourish Old Madam Jin’s body. She couldn’t let it be s.n.a.t.c.hed away.

“h.e.l.lo, there are a lot of prawns. Can you give me half?” Although Li Xiaoran was very anxious, she still asked politely.

“Why should I share it with you? I’ve been waiting a long time to eat this!” The other party looked over as he spoke.

However, when their eyes met, the man and Li Xiaoran were stunned.

“It’s you!” they shouted in unison.

This sudden tacit understanding made Luo Cheng feel jealous.

“Do you know him?” Luo Cheng quickly asked. He was still standing beside Li Xiaoran.

When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s voice, she felt his jealousy and laughed.

Speaking of which, the person in front of him had once tried to poach her.

This man was none other than Zeng Youliang, the foodie who had once gone to the stall to poach Li Xiaoran.

“Husband, this is Zeng Youliang, Young Master Zeng. He’s a foodie. He once went to our stall to eat knife-cut noodles!” Li Xiaoran explained.

When Zeng Youliang saw that Li Xiaoran still remembered him, his mood immediately improved.

“Since you want to buy prawns, I’ll give you half! But in exchange, you have to treat me to a delicacy I’ve never eaten before!”

It had to be said that foodies were indeed obsessed with food. At this moment, all he could think about was food.

Luo Cheng was immediately relieved.

Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and nodded.

“Sure! No problem. I wonder what kind of delicacies Young Master Zeng wants to eat?”

Zeng Youliang thought for a moment and said, “Let’s buy this shrimp first! We’ll talk about the rest after we get out of the market! Do you need to buy anything else?”

Li Xiaoran looked around and nodded. “I’m going to make a meal for an elder today. She’s sick, so I need to buy some fresh ingredients for her. It might take another hour!”

Zeng Youliang thought for a moment and said, “How about this? Let’s split the things first. Then, I’ll wait for you in a teahouse outside the market in fifteen minutes. We’ll talk about this then!”

Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and nodded.

“Sure! See you later!”

With that, the stall owner had already split the prawns into two. After weighing them, they paid and split up.

Next, Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng went to buy a chicken. Then, she saw someone selling lemons and bought some.

Fifteen minutes later, Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng were already carrying a lot of things.

At the teahouse, Zeng Youliang, who was sitting in a private room on the second floor, saw Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng at a glance and quickly stood up to wave.

“I’m here. Come up!”

After Li Xiaoran and Luo Chengli were done, they quickly carried their things and went to the teahouse.

Zeng Youliang had already ordered a pot of tea and a few refreshments. Seeing that Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng had arrived, he quickly poured them tea.

“This tea is fruit tea. It’s suitable for women to drink. I ordered it before you guys came!” Zeng Youliang said as he brought the tea over. “Don’t worry, the food I, Zeng Youliang, approve of definitely tastes good!”

Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng looked at each other and took a sip of tea.

They had to admit, the tea tasted really good.

There was a faint aroma of jasmine and a citrus taste to it.

She felt some bitterness in her mouth, followed by a faint sweetness.

“How is it? This fruit tea isn’t bad, right?!” Zeng Youliang said proudly after seeing Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng take a sip.

“It’s indeed very aromatic. No wonder you like it!” Li Xiaoran smiled and praised, “Not bad, Young Master Zeng. Why are you in Golden Sun Town? Could it be that there’s some delicacy in this town that attracted you?”

When Young Master Zeng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he sighed.

“To be honest, the reason I’m here is to find food for my grandmother!”
