The Hunter’s Lucky Little Lady



42 The Lu Family

“If you want to make delicious sorghum buns, you have to pay attention to some things.” Li Xiaoran lowered her voice after that.

In such a situation, the people who were craning their necks to learn were extremely mad.

Luo Cheng took in all the expressions of those people and immediately sneered.

The person that Luo Cheng had his eyes on was no fool. How could she let others learn this skill?

Li Xiaoqing was also learning how to make sorghum buns along with Yuan Cheng and Mao Dao.

In Li Xiaoqing’s own words, she was a girl. If she learned a few more skills, in the future, she would be able to survive no matter where she went.

Li Xiaoran was naturally willing to teach her. As long as her sister was willing to learn, she would definitely teach her without reservation.

After kneading twice, Li Xiaoran explained some points that needed attention in detail. Then, she let Yuan Cheng, Mao Dao, and Li Xiaoqing do it.

It had to be said that girls had naturally talent in terms of cooking.

Among the three of them, Li Xiaoqing was the fastest to learn. She mastered it almost immediately.

Yuan Cheng and Mao Dao were a little lacking, but Yuan Cheng was also very good. He mastered it after learning it twice.

As for Mao Dao, he had some past experience, so he was on par with Yuan Cheng.

Soon, the sorghum noodles and flour they brought were kneaded into balls. After Li Xiaoran taught them how to make steamed buns, she let Yuan Cheng and Mao Dao boil the fire and steam the steamed buns themselves.

At this moment, a convoy of people appeared in the distance. When the group of people setting up the stall saw so many people appear, they immediately perked up.

Seeing this, Li Xiaoran quickly returned to her noodle stall and waited for the customers to arrive.

Because the convoy was crowded, they walked slowly.

They saw the convoy from afar, but it took the convoy a long time to reach the stall.

“Eh, when did these stalls appear here? I think they’re all selling food. Should we buy some food?” Wan Yuan, who was walking at the front, looked at the food nearby and suggested to Gu Yan.

Gu Yan couldn’t be bothered to look at Wan Yuan and reminded him directly.

“Don’t forget our mission this time. We must send the Lu family safely to the capital. Besides, these are just small stalls. There’s no need to cause trouble.”

Hearing Gu Yancai’s words, Wan Yuan could only look at the surrounding food stalls regretfully. He swallowed hard and endured his hunger.

However, while he could tolerate it, the children of the Lu family couldn’t.

The smell of food on the road made the children in the carriage restless.

“Mother, Mother, I want noodles! I want noodles!” A young child said.

A beautiful woman was overjoyed when she heard her daughter ask for noodles.

“Husband, Jiaojiao wants to eat noodles. Let’s stop and eat a bowl of noodles before leaving!”

When Lu Hua heard his wife’s words, he looked at his daughter, who had no appetite along the way. In the end, he couldn’t bear to let his child suffer, so he called for the carriage to stop.

When Wan Yuan, who was walking in front, saw that a carriage had stopped in the middle, he quickly turned around to take a look.

“Third Master Lu, why did you ask someone to stop the carriage? There’s still some distance until we reach White Foothill City. Let’s hurry!”

“Brother Wan, my youngest daughter suddenly wants to eat a bowl of noodles! As you know, my youngest daughter hasn’t eaten much along the way. She’s hungry. It’s rare for her to encounter something she wants to eat. I want her to eat some food!” Lu Hua told him the truth.

To be honest, Wan Yuan was also a little hungry. When he heard Lu Hua’s words, he thought for a moment and said, “It just so happens that we’re a little tired from walking. We should buy something to fill our stomachs!”

As he spoke, Wan Yuan shouted to his buddies around him.

“Walk a little further to the side and don’t block the way. If you want to buy something to eat, take turns to buy it! Be safe!”

When the group heard Wan Yuan’s words, they immediately agreed happily and split into several groups to buy things.

The people setting up the stall smiled when they saw the customers.

Just like that, the originally deserted road instantly became lively.

Lu Hua alighted from the carriage with his wife and daughter. He went to ask Mrs. Lu, then brought them to the stall.

Jiaojiao got out of the carriage and pulled Lu Hua towards Li Xiaoran and her sister’s knife-cut noodles stall. This made Zhao Chunhua jealous.

“Father, Mother, I want to eat her noodles!” Jiaojiao whispered.

Seeing this, Lu Hua smiled and nodded. “Okay, then sit at that table with your mother. I’ll buy you noodles!”

Jiaojiao nodded, then followed her mother, Uli, to the table and chairs woven from bamboo.

“This chair is comfortable to sit in, and this table is comfortable to use!” Jiaojiao said softly, looking at the table and chairs in front of her.

When Uli saw that her daughter was in better spirits, she said happily, “Since you like it, let’s sit a little longer!”

“Yeah.” Jiaojiao nodded, then looked around again.

It was as if the countryside in front of her was the most beautiful scenery in the world. Jiaojiao couldn’t get enough of it.

Li Xiaoqing also scooped three bowls of bone soup and placed them on the table.

“Little girl, this is bone soup. Your body will warm up a lot after drinking it! Try it!” Li Xiaoqing said with a smile.

“Thank you. I’ll drink it now!” Jiaojiao replied with a smile. Then she took a spoon and sipped it.

Uli had been worried and wondered if her daughter could eat these things.

One had to know that at home, her daughter ate delicacies, but they still made her feel uncomfortable.

This bone soup was obviously greasy. She wondered if Jiaojiao could take it.

After drinking several spoonfuls of bone soup, Jiaojiao didn’t react at all. This surprised Uli.

Lu Hua asked Li Xiaoran what kind of noodles she was selling and finally ordered three bowls of plain noodles.

Li Xiaoran looked at Jiaojiao, who was drinking soup happily, and thought for a moment before calling out to Lu Hua.

“Sir, actually, I suggest that the three of you order three bowls of minced meat with sliced noodles!”

When Lu Hua heard Li Xiaoran’s words, his expression darkened and he was immediately displeased.

In Lu Hua’s opinion, Li Xiaoran was forcefully selling things, which he didn’t like.

Seeing the change in Lu Hua’s expression, Li Xiaoran immediately explained.

“Sir, don’t misunderstand. There’s a reason I’m suggesting this. Look, your child hasn’t eaten anything nutritious recently, right? She’s already seriously lacking in nutrition. Meat, vegetables, and noodles have to be matched together. Only then can it be a nutritious meal that’s more conducive to the child’s health. The child’s health isn’t good to begin with, and there’s no nutritional value in the food she eats. Even if her body wants to improve, it’s difficult to do so!”
