The Hunter’s Lucky Little Lady - Chapter 190
190 Naturally Different
Jade Face was actually just her nickname. Her real name was Fan Xue.
However, over the years, very few people called her by that name.
Thinking of this, Fan Xue suddenly had an urge to jump out of the carriage and run towards the knife-cut noodles shop.
!!
Li Xiaoran was carrying a bowl of noodles to a customer when she saw Jade Face run in.
“Li Xiaoran, my name is Fan Xue! Remember, my name is Fan Xue!”
With that, Fan Xue laughed.
This time, there was no charm in her smile. Instead, she looked like a kind girl.
“And thank you!”
With that, Fan Xue waved and left.
Luo Cheng was puzzled when he saw this.
When he came to Li Xiaoran’s side, Luo Cheng asked in confusion, “What’s wrong with her? Why did she run back to thank you?”
“Maybe it’s because I treat her like other customers!” Li Xiaoran said with a smile as she watched Fan Xue leave.
“How is this different?” Luo Cheng asked, looking confused.
“Of course it’s different!” Li Xiaoran said and continued to do her work without explaining.
In this world, especially in this time and space, people were not equal.
Over the years, Fan Xue had seen many people looking at her with disdain.
She had seen too much and didn’t think much of it. Although she didn’t seem to care on the surface, she still minded.
However, when she came to the knife-cut noodles shop previously, Li Xiaoran didn’t look at her with prejudice. She even treated her equally, like she did with the other customers.
This respect and sense of equality warmed Fan Xue’s heart.
At this moment, Fan Xue’s desire to find fault was extinguished. She ate the bowl of sliced noodles in peace and left after bringing the letter.
At the same time, Fan Xue, who had returned to the carriage, seemed a little different.
However, he couldn’t pinpoint what was different.
“Why do you seem happy?” a man sitting beside Jade Face asked.
“Of course I’m happy. I ate something delicious! Sigh, I suggest you go to the shop to eat knife-cut noodles next time! The knife-cut noodles here are very good. It’s worth a try!” Fan Xue said with a smile.
The others really thought that it was because the knife-cut noodles were delicious, so they didn’t ask further.
Soon, four hours passed.
Seeing that there were not many customers left, Li Xiaoran also began to take out ingredients to make lunch.
“Hey, husband, is your third brother still around?” Li Xiaoran was about to steam the rice when she thought of something and asked.
“I just went to take a look. He’s still there!” Luo Cheng shook his head and said.
Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, “Husband, are you on good terms with your third brother?”
Luo Cheng thought for a moment and said, “He’s the one I’m on better terms with among us brothers!”
“I see!” Li Xiaoran pondered when she heard this.
“Sister, come and take a look. Mao Dao actually caught a few big fish!” Li Xiaoqing’s voice sounded from outside.
Li Xiaoran ran out to take a look and really saw Mao Dao carrying two fish over.
“Mao Dao, where did you get this fish?”
When Mao Dao heard Li Xiaoran’s voice, he smiled and said, “Sister-in-law, we dug lotus roots in the lotus pond in our village today and caught a lot of fish. In order to thank you and Brother Luo Cheng for helping me, my parents asked me to bring these fish over for you to try!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately laughed.
“I haven’t eaten fish in a long time. I’m really craving it now! Come, bring it over quickly. We won’t stand on ceremony with you! Stay for lunch!”
“Yes, yes, okay. I won’t stand on ceremony either! You’re good at cooking. I’ve been craving it for a long time!” Mao Dao said happily.
After that, the group got busy.
“Husband, go summon Ziyang and Guan Kang! I’ll make something delicious for you guys today! I saw that Mao Dao brought five big fish over. Let’s cook them together today!” Li Xiaoran thought of something and said.
“Okay! I’ll call them now!” Luo Cheng nodded and turned to go home.
Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, “Father, Mother, call Mao Dao and the others to deal with these five fish! I’ll stir-fry the ingredients!”
Li Shun and Zhao Xiu naturally nodded. Then, they brought the fish outside and called Mao Dao and Yuan Cheng to gut the fish.
Li Xiaoqing also watched and learned. It just so happened that they each took one and killed them quickly.
After washing the fish, Li Shun walked in with five fish.
At this moment, Li Xiaoran had already cooked the rice and prepared all kinds of condiments.
After the fish were delivered, Li Xiaoran took a kitchen knife and began to slice the fish.
Li Xiaoran raised her hand and skillfully cut out the fish bones.
The fish bones were cut into pieces and placed in a basin. The fish meat was placed in another basin.
After the bones and meat of the five fish were separated, Li Xiaoran took the pieces of fish and cut them diagonally.
Soon, crystalline pieces of fish were sliced.
This scene amazed the surrounding crowd.
When Ling Heng heard the exclamations, he couldn’t help but run over to take a look.
At this moment, Li Xiaoran had already placed the fish slices in a bowl and marinated them with seasoning.
Of course, she also put some salt on the fish bones to marinate them. They would taste better later.
“Oh no, I forgot to tell you before. I should have brought two asparagus and celery from home!” Li Xiaoran thought of something and said.
“I’ll go!” Mao Dao took the initiative and said, “I’m fast. If I run faster, I can catch up to Brother Luo Cheng!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she nodded. “Alright, go quickly!”
Mao Dao nodded and ran out after Luo Cheng.
However, when he finally arrived at the Luo family’s house, he saw the three people who were about to leave.
“Brother Luo Cheng, Sister-in-law asked you to bring two asparagus and some celery over!” Mao Dao quickly shouted.
When Luo Cheng heard Mao Dao’s words, he stopped in his tracks and turned to run towards the vegetable field at the back of the courtyard.
When Li Xiaoran finished cooking the other dishes, Luo Cheng and the others rushed over with a basket of vegetables.
“There are many people eating today, so I brought some more ingredients over!” Luo Cheng said when he saw Li Xiaoran.
Li Xiaoran looked around. In addition to the asparagus and celery she wanted, there was a piece of pork belly, a handful of garlic sprouts, a cabbage, a few carrots, and some peas.
“That’s right. With these dishes, we can have a good lunch!”
