The Hunter’s Lucky Little Lady-Chapter 33

Suspicion

He pursed his lips and couldn’t help but retort, “A business owner has to cater to her customers’ requests! I’m not making things difficult for her!”

With that, he said to Li Xiaoran, “I’ll give you a chance to train today. If you encounter customers who are more difficult to deal with than me in the future, you’ll have experience. You won’t have to worry about not being able to deal with them!”

“You’re getting more and more aggressive. How can you be so reasonable? She even has to thank you?” The man in the lead was so angry that he wanted to slap this brat.

“It’s alright, we have to satisfy our guests’ requests! Dear guests, please wait a moment. I’ll cook noodles for everyone now!” Li Xiaoran didn’t take such difficulties to heart. She smiled and began to peel the noodles.

Seeing Li Xiaoran, a weak woman, holding the dough in one hand and nimbly peeling the dough with bamboo pieces with the other, the five of them looked shocked.

Zhen Liming, who hadn’t spoken all this while, couldn’t help but exclaim, “Young lady, are you from Shanxi?”

When Li Xiaoran heard the other party’s question, she shook her head.

“No, I’m a local!”

Zhen Liming was instantly curious.

“Then how did you learn how to slice noodles? You have to know that your skills are rare even in Shanxi!”

At this moment, Li Xiaoran had just sliced the noodles for the five of them and boiled them in the pot. Then, he looked at Zhen Liming.

“I just heard about it and figured it out for myself. Maybe I have a talent for cooking! So I learned it right away!”

Zhen Liming didn’t doubt it.

After all, he had traveled for so many years and had seen many talented people. It wasn’t rare for a girl from the countryside to know how to make knife-cut noodles.

“It seems that you’ve been to Shanxi? Why don’t you tell me about the culture there! Although I’ve never gone out, I also yearn for the exciting life outside. Even if I can’t see it with my own eyes, I’ll be satisfied to hear you tell me about it!” As she placed the various condiments in a bowl, Li Xiaoran asked with interest.

Zhen Liming smiled when he heard Li Xiaoran’s words.

“There’s actually not much to say about Shanxi. However, the noodles there are very famous and taste very good. Oh right, there’s also a kind of food called Roujiamo over there. Although that taste isn’t as rich as ours, it has quality meat and tastes delicious. Roujiamo is a combination of pork in gravy and white bun. It can be used to complement each other’s taste. For us traveling merchants, it’s considered a very good meal to fill our stomachs!”

Li Xiaoran recalled the roujiamo she used to eat in the modern world and could understand why he said that.

After that, Zhen Liming started talking about the customs in Shanxi.

Li Xiaoran chimed in from time to time while cooking the noodles. The two of them hit it off.

As Luo Cheng listened, his gaze landed on Li Xiaoran.

At this moment, Li Xiaoran seemed to be shrouded in a fog.

Luo Cheng thought that he already knew Li Xiaoran very well, but today, he realized that he didn’t know her at all.

Not everyone could hit it off with those traveling merchants.

But look at Li Xiaoran. No matter what the other party said, she could continue the conversation and share some of her knowledge, which really surprised Luo Cheng.

Perhaps this wife he had taken back out of kindness wasn’t as simple as he had imagined.

Thinking of this, Luo Cheng had some doubts.

He had investigated Li Xiaoran’s experiences since she was born. It could be said that he knew everything about the people she had interacted with and what she had done.

It had to be said that the Li Xiaoran in front of him was very different from the Li Xiaoran in his investigation. Even her personality was a little different.

Previously, he thought that Li Xiaoran had changed so much because she had escaped the brink of death.

From the looks of it, there must be something he didn’t know.

After Li Xiaoran scooped up the noodles, she started to pick them up.

There were five bowls of noodles, two of them plain, one with chili and one without.

Of the other three bowls of minced pork noodles, two were served with chili and one without.

When Li Xiaoqing saw that her sister had finished cooking the noodles, she quickly came over to serve them.

Seeing this, Luo Cheng also came over to help.

Soon, five bowls of noodles were delivered and placed in front of everyone according to Li Xiaoran’s instructions.

Looking at the bowl of noodles in front of him, Little Six, who had been making things difficult for her, was instantly stunned.

It was because the noodles that Li Xiaoran made were all correct.

He didn’t eat meat, only plain noodles. And he wanted something spicy.

In addition, because Zhen Liming had suffered internal injuries and his diet was light, he wanted to eat light plain noodles. He couldn’t eat chili.

On the other hand, the other three actually liked spicy food. However, the leader, Gao Hu, couldn’t eat chili. He would feel pain even at the slightest bite.

Therefore, the bowl of minced meat noodles in front of him had clear soup, while the other two people’s minced meat noodles had chili!

“Please eat the noodles! I can guarantee that the taste of these noodles will definitely suit your taste!” Li Xiaoran said confidently.

The five of them looked at each other, then picked up their chopsticks and ate together.

It had to be said that the knife-cut noodles were delicious.

After taking a bite, the five of them didn’t bother to say anything else and continued eating.

After eating the noodles and drinking the bone broth, the group of people felt much less tired from the journey.

Before leaving, Little Six took out 30 copper coins and handed them to Li Xiaoran.

“Sister, the noodles you make are really delicious. It’s the taste I like. What happened previously was my fault. I’ll apologize to you! Take this extra nine copper coins as my apology to you!”

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she smiled and put away the copper coins.

“Since you’re sincere, I’ll sincerely accept it! After accepting your apology, I’ll also give you a word of advice. There’s always someone better. No matter what kind of person you meet, everyone is worthy of your respect, because they all have something worth learning from!”

If anyone else said this to Little Six, he would definitely retort.

However, it was Li Xiaoran who said this, so he naturally took it to heart.

It was also because of Li Xiaoran’s words that Little Six had never underestimated anyone when he traveled the martial world in the future. Several times, it had saved his life when he was at the brink of death.

Of course, that would come later.

“Can I ask how you judged our tastes?” Six asked curiously.

Even Li Xiaoqing and Luo Cheng were curious about this question, let alone the few people who came to eat noodles.
