Li Xiaoran encouraged, “Work hard! That day will eventually come!” Ye Shengnan nodded and began to think about how to roast the fish later and earn money.

As her attention was diverted, Ye Shengnan didn’t fuss over her clothes anymore.

The fish were quickly bought. After Li Xiaoran called Ye Shengnan over and taught her how to handle the fish and marinate them, she placed them on the charcoal fire and roasted them.

It had to be said that grilling fish over charcoal fire on such a hot day was really not something an ordinary person could endure.

From the beginning to the end, Ye Shengnan didn’t complain about being tired. After she wiped her sweat with a handkerchief, she continued staring at the fish roasting on the charcoal fire.

Although Ye Shengnan had never grilled fish like this before, she wasn’t worried.

When she was sure that the fish was about done being roasted, she invited Li Xiaoran to try it.

Because it had been marinated, the fish was flavorful.

At this moment, one could taste the original flavor of the fish.

Li Xiaoran took a few bites with her chopsticks and smiled.

“As expected, you didn’t disappoint me! This fish is roasted very well!” After that, Li Xiaoran asked someone to invite Luo Cheng and the others over to try it.

There wasn’t much meat in the fish, but everyone could eat one or two mouthfuls.

Without the stir-fried ingredients, the fish tasted very good.

After that, Li Xiaoran asked Ye Shengnan to roast two more fish while stir-frying the ingredients. Then, she added them.

This time, Li Xiaoran called everyone over to taste this grilled fish.

After the stir-fried ingredients were added, the grilled fish tasted even better.

Ye Shengnan had eaten the fish she had roasted before. At that time, she felt that it was already very delicious, but it was a little inferior to the fish that Li Xiaoran had taught her to marinate later on.

However, when she tasted the grilled fish with stir-fried ingredients, she was immediately shocked.

“I really didn’t expect a piece of fish to taste so delicious.”

After saying this, Ye Shengnan suddenly remembered what she had heard Li Xiaoran say previously.

“Consort, you previously said that you wanted to find someone who knew how to grill fish. Are you going to sell this grilled fish?”

When Li Xiaoran heard Ye Shengnan’s words, she laughed.

“That’s right! Mr. Luo and I have already prepared our grilled fish shop. We’re just short of some chefs who are good at making grilled fish. Unfortunately, we’ve found many chefs, but none of the grilled fish are good. Although three of them are good at roasting fish, they’re not enough! In the future, our grilled fish shops will expand to many places. So don’t worry, as long as you work hard and don’t betray Mr. Luo and me, you’ll have a good life ahead of you!” When the others heard Li Xiaoran’s words, they were also stunned.

The four advisors Luo Cheng had brought this time finally understood what Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng wanted to do.

Li Liming immediately took the initiative to offer when he heard Li Xiaoran’s words, “Mr. Luo, let me join this grilled fish shop! I’m good at doing business, so don’t worry. From now on, I’ll be your ATM. No matter how much money you want, I can think of a way to earn it for you!”

Luo Cheng glanced at Li Liming and said, “I’ll consider it!”

Li Liming was about to say something when Jiao Hang pulled him back.

After Li Liming looked over, Jiao Hang shook his head at him.

In the past, Li Liming would have shouted at Jiao Hang, “Why are you pulling me?!”

However, after spending the past few days together, the four of them had a certain understanding.

The two of them became closer after the fight.

After receiving Jiao Hang’s signal, Li Liming could only give up.

After they finished eating the fish, everyone went to rest.

Wu Qinghe and Xue Shanhui didn’t leave. Luo Cheng arranged for the two of them to go out and inquire about Ma San.

After Luo Cheng brought Li Xiaoran straight to the study of this house, he called Zi Cheng and Zi Zheng over.

“I’m afraid we’ll have to stay here for the next few days. On the surface, we’re here to look for Ma San, but in fact, I still have to wait for Luo Han and the Sichuan army to arrive. For the next few days, my attention will be on the coal mine. Zi Zheng will follow me to deal with the matters over there. I’ll have to trouble you to take care of the matters here. If there’s anything, leave it to Zi Cheng and Wu Qinghe,” Luo Cheng instructed carefully.

Li Xiaoran wasn’t surprised to hear Luo Cheng’s plan. Actually, after Luo Cheng released the messenger pigeon last night, Li Xiaoran knew that they wouldn’t go far for the time being.

Li Xiaoran replied, “Husband, don’t worry! With me and the others at home, nothing will happen. Even if something happens, we can resolve it. Just focus on what you’re doing!”

Li Xiaoran teased with a smile, “Don’t worry! I know how to protect myself! You’re too nervous about me! Although I’m not as skilled in martial arts as you guys, I have a brain!”

Luo Cheng also knew that Li Xiaoran was smart, so he didn’t say anything else.

After that, Luo Cheng went to deal with the coal mine while Li Xiaoran returned to her room to rest.

After the sun set, Wu Qinghe and Xue Shanhui returned.

Li Xiaoran asked someone to make some mung bean soup. Seeing that the two of them had returned, she asked them to scoop a bowl for themselves to drink to relieve the heat.

Li Xiaoran asked after the two of them drank a bowl of mung bean soup, “How is it? Is there any news?”

Xue Shanhui told them what they had found out, “There’s some news, but not much. It’s said that Ma San has set up a stall in Nanping Town to sell roasted meat. It’s just that I haven’t heard any news of Ma San in the past month. Those customers who like Ma San’s roasted meat are looking for him, but there’s no news of him even until now!”

Wu Qinghe said angrily, “My divination predicted that Ma San would definitely appear within eight days, but Xue Shanhui didn’t believe me. Hmph, my divination definitely won’t be wrong. We’ll see in eight days!”

When Li Xiaoran heard Wu Qinghe’s words, she immediately laughed.

No wonder this person had a straight face from the moment he entered and it was obvious that he was angry. So it was because of this!

Xue Shanhui said with disdain, “No matter what you say, I won’t believe you. I’ve seen many fortune-tellers like you! None of them are capable. They’re all liars!”

This time, Wu Qinghe was indignant!
