Chapter 782: Not Destined to Die
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Li Shun found a business opportunity from today’s matter, so after thinking about it, he simply left the Li family’s home to talk to his daughter about this.
When Li Xiaoran heard her father’s thoughts, she immediately laughed.
“Father, your idea is really brilliant! After the food street is sold, many people will definitely need furniture, but there are still some things that are necessary. That is, tables and benches for eating. Think about it, these food street shops are all built at this time, so tables and chairs are definitely necessary. Father, you can actually find someone in the village with carpentry skills to make tables and chairs to sell in the future!”
When Li Shun heard his daughter praise him, he smiled.
“Daughter, you’re right. I can also bring them along to earn a sum of money!”
Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and suggested, “Don’t make too many. If they don’t sell your tables and chairs, you can’t forcefully sell them! Therefore, you have to control the quant.i.ty. You can’t make too many tables and chairs! By the way, Father, design some different tables and chairs too! Perhaps some families want high-end furniture and don’t want ordinary tables and chairs. Think about it yourself! Even if you can’t sell them here, you can send them to the shops in town to sell in the future!”
Li Shun nodded and remembered his daughter’s words.
For the next period of time, Li Shun was very busy.
He wasn’t the only one. The men in the surrounding villages who had good carpentry skills were very busy as well.
Li Shun had a burst of inspiration recently.
Since his daughter said that he had to prepare more chairs to sell, this business would definitely be profitable.
Li Shun wanted to bring everyone along to earn money.
However, no one was willing to take this risk.
In the end, Li Shun changed his mind. He planned to prepare the wood himself and let someone else with good carpentry skills make tables and chairs for his home.
Coincidentally, there was a large empty s.p.a.ce outside the house that was also his son-in-law’s land, so he simply borrowed it to make tables and chairs.
It wasn’t easy for his father-in-law to have a new idea, so Luo Cheng was naturally willing to help.
Not only did Luo Cheng lend it, but Luo Cheng also helped him get the wood that his father-in-law lacked.
For a moment, the empty s.p.a.ce outside the Li family’s house was bustling with activity.
During this period of time, Zhao Xiu had also found some inspiration and locked herself at home to make her jewelry.
Fortunately, there was a chef at home to cook, so the couple didn’t go hungry.
Li Xiaoqing felt suffocated at home, so she simply moved to Li Xiaoran’s place, where there were people to chat with her when she was free.
Originally, Luo Ziyang wanted to accompany Li Xiaoqing, but he had been a little busy recently.
One was busy working in the shop during the day, and the other was busy working during the day and night.
Fortunately, there were many people living in Li Xiaoran’s house. Even if Luo Ziyang was very busy, Li Xiaoqing wouldn’t feel lonely.
Duan Kaiyuan and Duan Sha moved out after living in the Luo family’s residence for six days.
On the day they moved out, Duan Kaiyuan and Duan Sha invited Luo Cheng and
Li Xiaoran to eat together.
Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng didn’t refuse. Moreover, in order to make the Duan family’s house more lively, Li Xiaoran asked for the siblings’ permission and brought the rest of the family along.
Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng only brought young people. They didn’t call the elders.
After all, young people were easy to interact with. They quickly became familiar with each other!
If he dragged an elder in, the feeling would change.
Since they were going to the greenhouse, there was no reason for everyone to go empty-handed.
In any case, he would try his best to give them whatever he had.
Of course, Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran were the most generous. They sent a pile of ingredients and some cured meat over.
The weather had been much cooler recently, so after everyone discussed it, they simply prepared to make barbecue.
This time, no one asked the servants to take action. Instead, they followed Li Xiaoran to prepare.
After night fell, everyone lit kerosene lamps and roasted in the courtyard while talking.
At this moment, Li Xiaoran suddenly craved beer!
Unfortunately, she hadn’t found the hops yet, so she couldn’t make beer.
There was no beer, but there was sour plum soup.
Li Xiaoran boiled a large pot and let everyone drink it.
Logically speaking, the sour plum soup should taste even better after being frozen!
However, ice was considered rare here, so Li Xiaoran didn’t take it out.
Li Xiaoran had lost her appet.i.te recently and didn’t want to eat meat. Instead, she craved vegetables.
The mushrooms she had obtained from her cousin, Zhao Yan, were delicious!
Seeing that Li Xiaoran was eating with relish, Duan Sha also took a skewer and tasted it.
Duan Sha’s eyes lit up.
“Hey, what’s this? It’s so delicious!”
“These are mushrooms cultivated by my cousin. Not only are they delicious to roast, but they’re also very delicious to stir-fry and boil soup with!” Seeing that Duan Sha liked it very much, Li Xiaoran said with a smile, “If you want to eat it, you can go straight to my cousin. As long as you tell him my name, he will definitely sell some to you!”
Duan Sha was puzzled when she heard this.
“Are these mushrooms difficult to buy?”
“Yes, he nurtured the mushrooms himself. There’s not enough now, so many people are fighting for them! If not for the fact that we’re relatives, I wouldn’t have been able to eat it even if I wanted to!” Li Xiaoran said.
When Duan Sha heard this, she immediately nodded. “Then I’ll take advantage of our relationship to buy some tomorrow! The texture is really good. It’s so crispy. I like it very much!”
“Don’t call me consort. Just call me Xiaoran like Ruyue! I’m your friend!” Li Xiaoran said with a smile when she saw that Duan Sha liked it very much.
Duan Sha thought of something and said happily, “Then call me Shasha too! I’ve wanted to be friends with you for a long time, Xiaoran! I just didn’t know if you were willing to! You have to know that you were the first person to take the initiative to approach me and talk to me!”
Li Xiaoran thought of something and asked, “You mean the first time we met in the farmstead?”
“That’s right! It was also the time you saved my life!” Duan Sha nodded and said gratefully, “To be honest, I’m really glad that I insisted on going to the farmstead to attend the banquet that time.
“Sigh, it can only mean that you weren’t destined to die at that time! The heavens were helping you!” Li Xiaoran said..
