Chapter 155

155 Spicy Chicken Claw

“Li Yan and Li Qiang have to be taught a lesson! Do they really think I, Luo Cheng, am a pushover and can be manipulated by them?!” Luo Cheng thought of something and said coldly.

Luo Cheng’s personality was that he wouldn’t harm anyone unless they harmed him.

However, since others had already bullied him, he naturally wouldn’t let it slide.

!!

“Ziyang, do this!” Luo Cheng quickly had an idea and told Luo Ziyang his idea.

Luo Ziyang nodded as he listened.

“Brother, don’t worry. I’ll leave this to you!”

After saying this, the two of them went to the shop by the official road.

At this moment, a shop was already standing in the open space.

Upon closer inspection, there were a total of six rooms in this shop. A large kitchen and resting place had been built at the back.

In addition, a water source had been discovered southeast of the shop, so Luo Cheng asked someone to drill a well.

This way, they wouldn’t have to worry about using water in the future! They wouldn’t have to share a water source with the other stall owners on the official road.

The roof of the shop had been set up, so they weren’t afraid of the rain at this time.

The rest of the work would be done in less than two days.

Luo Cheng and Luo Ziyang looked around carefully and confirmed that the shop was well-built. Only then did they feel relieved.

“When the shop is built, get someone to get some firewood to dry the house. Try to get your them to move things into the shop to buy sliced noodles as soon as possible,” Luo Cheng reminded.

“Actually, we can dry one room first. That way, they can come in and sell knife-cut noodles first! The shops at the back can be dried after they are done. This way, they can be baked separately. It’s more suitable!” Luo Ziyang suggested.

When Luo Cheng heard this suggestion, he immediately smiled and reached out to pat Luo Ziyang’s shoulder.

“That’s a good idea! Ziyang, you’re so thoughtful! Let’s do this. Get someone to dry this area now!”

Luo Ziyang nodded and immediately asked someone to dry the house.

Generally speaking, this shop would be dry after being parched for two or three days. At that time, they could move things in to sell knife-cut noodles.

Therefore, the Luo family only needed to suck it up for two more days before they didn’t have to suffer from the wind and rain anymore.

When the construction was done, they wouldn’t have to run around with things all day. They just had to come early every day to knead the noodles and prepare the ingredients!

When Li Xiaoran learned that the shop here could be moved into in three days, she was overjoyed.

After all, the weather was really getting colder. Selling noodles in the shop earlier would save them a lot of trouble.

In particular, her parents had been working too hard over the long-term. Now, many health problems had arisen.

They kept feeling pain and discomfort.

This was from overworking in the past.

“There’s only one shop that can be used first. The others will still have to wait for a while. After all the shops are dried, you can do whatever you want!” Luo Cheng looked at Li Xiaoran’s happy expression and said.

“There’s no hurry. Anyway, it’s almost the new year. I don’t want to do it for the time being. We’ll talk about opening that restaurant after the new year!” Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and shook her head. “There’s less than a month until the new year. We still have to prepare a lot of things! We have to make cured meat and sausages, dried vegetables, and radishes. We even have to get someone to clean up the orchard outside this house. We have to plant many things!”

Luo Cheng was not very knowledgeable about farming, so he could only let Li Xiaoran make the decision herself.

“Let’s find someone to dig up the fruit tree in the village! When the time comes, we’ll give them wages. It shouldn’t take long to finish digging!” Luo Cheng thought of something and said.

“It just so happens that after these fruit trees are dug up, we can still put them aside to dry. When we need to burn firewood during the new year, these will be ready-made firewood!” Li Xiaoran also thought of something and said.

“Leave this to me! I’m almost done with what I’m doing. Let’s rest at home for the next few months and celebrate the new year together!” Luo Cheng thought about his current affairs and said.

“Sure! I’ll talk to Father today and see what he thinks! After all, I’ll have to leave the task of attending to the land to my father in the future!” Li Xiaoran said with a smile.

“Let’s talk about it tonight! Coincidentally, you haven’t tried the fruit wine I brought back yet. Pour some out tonight! If you like it, I’ll make more in the future!” Luo Cheng thought of something and said.

At noon, because everyone still had work to do, they didn’t drink.

Li Shun didn’t drink the jar of wine that had been opened previously. Instead, he drank it at night.

After all, everyone understood that drinking would cause trouble.

If he got drunk, he wouldn’t be able to do anything today.

“Alright, I’ll make some side dishes tonight. Everyone can eat something and relax!” Li Xiaoran said with a smile.

When Li Xiaoqing heard that her sister was going to cook, she volunteered to help.

Li Xiaoran naturally wouldn’t refuse, so she pulled her sister to the kitchen to get busy.

When Luo Cheng came back a few days ago, he brought many chicken feet back.

Because Li Xiaoran had gone up the mountain, she only had time to make these chicken feet now.

After seeing these chicken feet today, Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and smiled.

“Let’s make a different type of chicken claw today! Spicy crust chicken claw!”

With that, Li Xiaoran took out the chicken feet and began to wash them.

It was very simple to make spicy chicken feet. All one needed to do was wash the chicken feet, boil them, wash them in cold water, and finally marinate them with various condiments.

Of course, the main condiment was the spicy shell.

The chicken feet made like this tasted different from the spicy braised chicken feet from before.

In addition, Li Xiaoran saw that there were actually some wild celery around the house, so she went to pinch a large amount and used it to stir-fry chicken.

There were many pheasants hunted on the mountain. After Zhao Xiu cleaned them today, she marinated a few and prepared to make them into roasted chickens.

The extra internal organs were used by Li Xiaoran to make stir-fried chicken.

The fragrance of wild celery not only eliminated the fishy smell of chicken stew, but also gave this dish a special aroma.

In addition to these, Li Xiaoran also stir-fried some home-cooked dishes and even boiled a pot of poached eggs to eat.

Because it was already winter, eating some poached eggs could help them keep warm.

“Xiaoran’s poached eggs are well-made. The shape of these eggs look good, and the yolk inside is just right. It’s neither stale nor mushy!” Zhao Xiu praised after taking a bite of the egg.
