Chapter 784: The Seniors’ Own Matters
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The next day, Luo Cheng and the others looked for the children in the village to find snails.
After Little Huzi received the heavy responsibility, he knew that it was time for his friends to earn money, so he immediately called his friends and carried the bucket to the snails.
At noon, Li Xiaoran was amused when she saw a few large buckets of snails in the courtyard.
What was even more hilarious was that Old Madam Jin had actually brought Li Xiaoran’s grandfather and grandmother along as well.
Old Madam Jin asked with a smile, “Xiaoran, I heard that you’re buying snails again! Are you planning to make snail noodles? I called your grandfather and grandmother over today. You can’t disappoint us!”
Li Xiaoran said, “Granny Jin, these snails have just been picked, so they have to be nurtured for at least two days so they can spit out sand! Even if I want to make snail noodles for you to eat, I don’t have the ingredients!”
Li Xiaoran’s grandmother, Xu Xiufang, persuaded, “That’s right, Sister Jin, snails need to be fed for two days before they taste good! Otherwise, it’ll be very uncomfortable to eat a mouthful of sand!”
Old Madam Jin said, “I see! Then we’ll come and eat snail noodles in a few days! However, you have to make us something delicious today. You can’t let the three of us come for nothing!”
“Alright, alright, alright. I’ll definitely make a table of dishes for you guys to eat today!” Li Xiaoran coaxed with a smile.
After that, Li Xiaoran helped the three elders to the big tree in the courtyard and asked someone to send over a chair for them to sit down and rest.
“Eh, wait a minute! Granny Jin, when did you become so close to my grandma and grandpa?” As Li Xiaoran looked at the three elders who were chatting happily, she suddenly realized something.
When she heard Li Xiaoran’s words, Old Madam Jin said, “Don’t interfere in our matters, little girl! Remember to make a table of delicious food!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately said with a smile, “Yes, yes, yes.
I’m the little girl. It’s none of my business!”
But on second thought, she felt that this wasn’t bad.
If the three elders interacted with each other, they could also find something to do.
As soon as she finished washing them and brought them out, she saw that Old Madam Jin had actually begun to learn how to make shoes under Xu Xiufang’s guidance.
The key was where did the materials for these shoes come from?
She hadn’t seen them bring anything over.
Soon, Li Du’s doubts were answered.
“Mother, I’ve brought you the soles you wanted!” Zhao Xiu brought another pile of things over.
It turned out that her mother had brought them!
While the three elders weren’t paying attention, Li Xiaoran pulled her mother to the side.
“Mother, what’s going on?”
Zhao Xiu looked at the three people sitting not far away. The two women sat together and discussed how to make shoes, while Zhao Huaishan was peeling a wooden stick. It seemed that he was making a pipe.
Zhao Xiu said, “Don’t interfere! Since they’ve found a hobby, let them do whatever they want! Actually, I think this is a good thing. In the past, I was worried that my parents would be too lonely, so it’s good that they have someone to accompany them now! Granny Jin went to the fields to plant dishes with your grandfather and grandmother two days ago! She said that she wanted to get some advice in planting vegetables from your grandfather and grandmother, so that in the future, her vegetable garden can be better tended!”
Speaking of this vegetable garden, Li Xiaoran immediately thought of something.
It seemed that Granny Jin had really started a vegetable field herself, but the vegetables she planted weren’t satisfactory. No wonder she wanted to learn from her grandpa and grandma.
As juniors, they had their own things to do. They couldn’t even spare time to accompany the seniors.
It was a good thing that the elders could find something to do themselves.
Thinking of this, Li Xiaoran simply went to prepare delicious food for the three elders.
After looking at the ingredients in the kitchen, Li Xiaoran quickly started cooking.
Old people didn’t have good teeth, so they couldn’t eat anything too hard.
Therefore, Li Xiaoran made hibiscus with steamed egg, mung beans, red braised pork b.a.l.l.s, and finally a tofu pot dish.
Anyway, they were all dishes that old people could eat.
It had to be said that Li Xiaoran’s dishes were quite popular.
After the three elders ate it, they gave it a good review and agreed to come here in three days to eat snail noodles.
It was rare for her to have a chance to be filial. Now that there was a chance to make the old people happy, Li Xiaoran naturally wouldn’t refuse.
As Duan Sha walked on the official road, she looked around.
Duan Kaiyuan originally wanted to bring Duan Sha out to try the food on the official road, but he suddenly received a message and left after telling Duan Sha.
Duan Sha was bored, so she originally planned to go to Li Xiaoqing’s knife-cut noodles shop.
As soon as she came out, she was mesmerized by the various food outside.
After Luo Han came out of the food street, he saw Duan Sha standing alone in front of a stall. She was sizing up everything in front of her curiously.
At this moment, the rice paste poured into the ironware on the stove was already roasted. The seller quickly flipped the rice paste over with a bamboo piece and continued to roast it.
Luo Han walked over and asked in amus.e.m.e.nt, “This is called ‘Triangular Rice’! Do you want to try it?”
Duan Sha looked over when she heard the voice. When she realized that it was Luo Han, she immediately smiled.
“Young Master Luo, I wonder if you’re free to bring me to try the delicious food on this official road?”
Luo Han didn’t expect Duan Sha to make such a request, so he was stunned for a moment before laughing.
“Sure! Coincidentally, I want to eat something too!”
Luo Han added,
“Do you want one of this Triangular Rice?”
Duan Sha looked at the food in front of her and nodded.
“Shop owner, give me two Triangular Rice!” Luo Han immediately said.
“Alright!” The shopkeeper replied happily. Then, he quickly wrapped a piece of Triangular Rice in each banana leaf and handed it to Luo Han.
Luo Han tested it. After confirming that it wasn’t hot, he handed it to Duan Sha.
“Here, try it!”
Duan Sha took it and watched as Luo Han put it in his mouth to eat. Then, she smiled.
Without saying anything, Duan Sha followed suit.
After taking a bite, she tasted the sweetness of rice cake. Duan Sha liked the taste very much.
“Let’s go. After eating this, I’ll bring you to the roasted loach stall in front. Roasted loach tastes very delicious too!” Luo Han finished the Triangular Rice in a few bites and brought Duan Sha to another stall..
