Chapter 796: Merchants
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After Duan Sha stayed at the Luo residence for ten days, she was picked up by
Duan Kaiyuan.
After they returned this time, the Duan family was very peaceful.
After Li Xiaoran remembered the Duan family’s incident, she asked Luo Cheng,
“Things have been very peaceful for the Duan siblings recently! Is something big going to happen to the fourth prince?!”
Luo Cheng said, “No! The Duan family isn ‘t to be trifled with! Actually, after the Duan family’s siblings got into trouble, the fourth prince didn’t have a chance to attack them anymore. Don’t underestimate the Duan family. This family has been around for more than a hundred years and has followed three emperors. The fourth prince only had one chance. Moreover, once he attacked, as long as the Duan family’s brother and sister survived, he wouldn’t have a second chance!”
A large family had its own forces.
The Duan family usually kept a low profile, but that didn’t mean that they were easy to bully.
If the fourth prince dared to attack the Duan family, the Duan family would definitely counterattack.
At this moment, the group of people the fourth prince was hiding in the capital had been discovered, and this matter reached the emperor.
The fourth prince was grounded by the emperor, who even took over all his men.
At this moment, the fourth prince was still racking his brains on how to redeem his image in the emperor’s heart, so he had no time to cause trouble for the Duan siblings.
On the food street’s side, the entire street had already been built.
A large number of beautiful houses stood erect on both sides of the food street and the shops were also clean. As soon as they moved in, they could do business.
When the people from the surrounding villages saw such a beautiful shop and house, they were all interested.
Many people came to the sliced noodles shop to ask about the food street. They wanted to know how the shops and houses on the food street were sold.
Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng discussed this matter.
Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, “Husband, this is a food street, so we definitely have to gather all kinds of delicacies! Therefore, we can’t just sell houses and shops to whoever pays. We have to add another condition.” “What conditions?” Luo Cheng asked.
Li Xiaoran voiced her thoughts, “Why are we building shops and houses? Isn’t it for the sake of delicious food? Therefore, if someone has good food and is willing to come to the food street to do business, we’ll sell the shops and houses to them! If the family doesn’t have enough money or can’t afford a house and shop, we can rent to them. However, the premise is that they have to do a food business, and it has to be a unique food business!”
Luo Cheng pointed out one of the problems. “The idea is good, but if those who know how to make special delicacies can enjoy such treatment, what about those who can only make ordinary delicacies? If there are several competitors, how will the shops be distributed?”
“Whoever’s delicacy is the most delicious will do the business and we’ll sell or rent the house to them!” Li Xiaoran said.
“What if someone cheats? What if someone uses someone else’s things instead? Besides, depending on the person who makes the food, even the same kind of food might taste different! How should we choose when the time comes?” Luo Cheng asked another question.
This problem was actually commonplace.
Even the same food might have different textures and tastes when made by different people. The subtle differences would cause customers to have different preferences.
Therefore, when everyone’s culinary skills were about the same, how could they choose?
After Li Xiaoran thought for a moment, she quickly found a solution. “Then let the customers choose! Before the competition, we’ll randomly draw four people to vote. They will vote for whoever they like. In the end, whoever gets the most votes will be chosen!”
Luo Cheng voiced his thoughts, “In that case, let’s do as you say! However, I don’t think we can wait passively. We should invite them with a goal in mind, just like the Spring Water Chicken we ate last time. If Spring Water Chicken can be sold on the food street, that’ll be great!”
Li Xiaoran thought of something and said, “It’s not just the Spring Water Chicken. Do you remember the mutton soup we ate at Uncle Wu’s house last time? Last time, I persuaded Madam Guo and the others to open a shop in their own house. I wonder if they tried it or not!”
Luo Cheng’s eyes lit up and he said, “How about this? I’ll ask Uncle Wu tomorrow and see if he has any ideas! I’ll also send someone to deliver a message to the Spring Water Chicken place. If they can come, our food street will have two more specialties!”
Li Xiaoran thought of something and said excitedly, “Of course, it’s not just these food. We also have to find delicious food from other places. By the way, husband, I think we should start some food stalls and small markets. We can provide some stone countertops for everyone to use. Even families without much money can also rent a stall and sell some snacks!”
Luo Cheng said, “As for the snack stalls, I plan to expand them on both sides of the official road. However, expropriating land is a little troublesome!”
After Li Xiaoran thought about it carefully, she shook her head and said, “Forget it, let’s put the snack stalls on both sides of the official road! There’s no need to worry about land acquisition! It’s as good as it is now. At least it’s convenient and lively! After the food street here is built, we’ll talk about our next plan!”
Luo Cheng felt that Li Xiaoran was right.
It wasn’t worth it to spend manpower and effort to build snack streets on both sides of the official road. It was better to take things slow!
Li Xiaoran thought of another idea. “By the way, we can also get the authorities to issue a notice. That way, more people will know about our food street! With the house and shop as the attraction, we can definitely attract more people!”
Luo Cheng felt that this was a good idea, so he immediately asked someone to do it.
After that, the couple got busy and went around looking for specialties. To Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran’s surprise, the first person to look for them was an acquaintance.
When the grilled fish in Golden Sun Town opened, Li Xiaoran and the others met a very arrogant young master.
They didn’t expect to meet again not long after.
“You’re from that grilled fish shop?” After Young Master Xie looked at Li Xiaoran and Shu Ruyue, he immediately recognized them!
