Chapter 562: Suggestion
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After returning to the inn, Luo Cheng wrote a letter and asked his subordinate to take it to the Third Prince in the capital.
When Li Xiaoran washed up, Luo Cheng had already calmed down.
At this moment, Luo Cheng suddenly made a decision. “Li Xiaoran, tell me what the culinary competition you mentioned is like!” Seeing that Luo Cheng was interested, Li Xiaoran walked over.
“Come, husband, help me dry my hair. As you help me dry it, I’ll tell you about this culinary competition! ”
Luo Cheng took the long towel and handed it to Li Xiaoran to dry her hair.
“Actually, although it’s a culinary competition, it’s not that simple. We don’t have to spend too much money. We just need to attract investors, and then we can use the culinary competition to expand the economy of our fief. Other than the cooking competition, we can think of many other activities, such as long-distance running, short-distance running, and various competitions!”
“Think about it. With more activities, rich merchants will definitely swarm over. For example, in the culinary competition, all chefs will wear uniforms. We can embroider some merchants’ signs on their clothes to advertise for merchants.”
“For example, a certain brand’s bean paste can’t be forgotten after one bite!”
“Anyway, there are many similar methods. After the commoners find out that there’s something to watch, everyone will gather. We’ll find some families that cook well and let them cook things to sell. What if the crowd wants to drink water? They have to pay for it! What if they want to eat? They have to pay for it! What if they want to stay here for a few more days? Won’t inns have business?”
As Li Xiaoran explained, Luo Cheng’s eyes lit up.
No wonder Li Xiaoran was so sure that this culinary competition would definitely be held. So this was the reason.
“Of course, after these events are held, other places will follow the trend, so we have to showcase our unique characteristics every year! Only if we can attract people every year will it count as a success!” Li Xiaoran thought of something and added, “It’s best to have our own unique characteristics. Only then can we leave a deep impression on the people!”
At this point, Li Xiaoran paused.
“For example, on the 15th of January, people make many different kinds of lanterns that attract a lot of people every year. In the future, whenever others mention lanterns, they will think of this place. That’ll be a true success!”
Luo Cheng already understood what Li Xiaoran meant. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became.
This way, not only could the commoners in Sichuan earn more money to improve their lives, but their local economy could also develop at a high speed. At that time, they could also collect more taxes and implement more measures that were beneficial to the commoners.
Luo Cheng said with a smile, “Of course we have to do it. I was too short-sighted previously and didn’t understand! You have such foresight!”
Li Xiaoran said, “Then you have to treat me better in the future! Otherwise, I’ll run away!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Xiaoran was picked up by Luo Cheng.
Luo Cheng stared at the woman in his arms as he said, “Since you say so, I think we should arrange for a consummation as well!”
Li Xiaoran said in a panic, “Ah, not here! I’m tired today!”
When Luo Cheng heard this, he raised his eyebrows. “Xiaoran, do you mean that we can do it at anytime as long as it isn’t now?”
“No, no, no, that’s not what I meant!” Li Xiaoran felt her face turn redder and redder. She didn’t know how to explain at all.
Seeing how anxious Li Xiaoran was, Luo Cheng immediately scratched her nose gently with his finger.
“Don’t be nervous. I won’t do anything to you! Xiaoran, your body is almost healed. In three months, you’ll be like a normal woman!”
Li Xiaoran naturally understood what Luo Cheng meant, so she blushed and said, “Pfft, how shameless of you to say this to me! You already promised you’ll give me three months. Let’s talk about it in three months!”
Luo Cheng wasn’t angry. She was beside him and couldn’t escape anyway.
Speaking of which, Luo Cheng was impressed with himself. He stayed by his beloved’s side every day, but didn’t make a single move on her.
It wasn’t that Luo Cheng was asexual, but he knew what was best for Li Xiaoran now.
He wanted someone who could accompany him for the rest of his life, not someone who could let him enjoy a moment of pleasure.
The next morning, the two of them woke up to the sound of rain.
Hearing the sound of rain outside, Li Xiaoran was very happy.
When she pushed open the window, she could hear many people cheering outside.
It hadn’t rained in Clear Spring Town for more than half a month! Previously, people were worried that there would be a drought this year! Now that they saw that it had rained for a night and that the rain was quite heavy, everyone cheered.
Zi Cheng and Zi Zheng had gone to town long ago and brought back a lot of delicious breakfast for everyone.
Li Xiaoran didn’t know if it was because of the rain, but she suddenly missed her mother’s meatloaf.
Coincidentally, there was meatloaf among the food Zi Zheng and Zi Cheng brought back, so Li Xiaoran took one and ate it.
Zi Cheng said with a smile, “We bought this meatloaf at a place not far from the inn. Zi Zheng and I ate a few and thought that it tasted good, so we brought some back for you guys!”
As Li Xiaoran ate, she gave him a thumbs up.
“Yes, this meatloaf tastes good! Zi Cheng, why don’t you go and buy all the meatloaf?! It just so happens that we’re going to be traveling soon. With such meatloaf, even if we camp in the wilderness, we can eat some food to eat!”
When Zi Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s instructions, he nodded and called Zi Zheng along to buy meatloaf.
In addition to the meatloaf, the brothers bought some other things that could be brought to eat along the way.
After Li Xiaoran and the others finished breakfast, Zi Cheng and Zi Zheng also packed the things they had bought into the carriage.
In the morning, the rain gradually stopped. After Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran discussed it, they decided to leave Clear Spring Town now.
A while after the group left, Su Mao rushed to the inn to look for them.
Unfortunately, Luo Cheng and the others had already left.
“Sigh! It seems that they won’t be lucky enough to eat it,” Su Mao said as he held a piece of smoked meat in his hand.
Not knowing that she had missed out on a piece of good smoked meat, Li Xiaoran got into the carriage and looked at the scenery by the roadside with interest.
“As expected, after staying in the capital for a long time, I find the green scenery much more beautiful! “
