Chapter 317: Sothing Big Happened
When the old woman heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she didn’t know what to say.
The others looked at the old woman and felt that she looked very familiar, but they couldn’t rember where they had seen her before. For a mont, everyone exchanged looks, but no one spoke.
Li Xiaoran naturally sensed everyone’s confusion.
Li Xiaoran thought for a mont and returned to the basket. Then, she took out the thing in the box.
“Go, get a knife and a basin!”
When Qiu Fen heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she imdiately returned to the kitchen to get what Li Xiaoran needed.
“What’s your na?” Li Xiaoran looked at the person in front of her and asked.
“My na is Qiu Fen. I’m an old woman who helps in the kitchen. After I divorced my man, I was forced to sell myself as a slave to find a way out. I was bought by Butler He last year!” Qiu Fen explained her identity and background.
Li Xiaoran nodded. When she heard that the other party worked in the kitchen, she asked, “How are your knife skills?”
“Don’t worry, Madam. I don’t dare to boast about anything else, but with my knife skills, even a chef can’t compare to !” Qiu Fen said confidently.
When Li Xiaoran heard Qiu Fen’s words, she smiled and nodded.
“Good. Take out all this at and put it on the cutting board. Cut it piece by piece.”
With that, Li Xiaoran pointed at an old woman and asked her to beat all the eggs into the basin.
For a mont, the courtyard fell silent. Everyone focused on the two people working.
When she saw this, fear rose in the old woman’s heart. Just as she was about to say sothing, Li Xiaoran sensed sothing and turned around.
“Pull a handful of grass and stuff it into this person’s mouth! I don’t want to hear her voice again. It’s very annoying!”
A guard beside her imdiately grabbed a handful of grass and stuffed it into the old woman’s mouth.
Now, the old woman could no longer make a sound.
Seeing this, Li Xiaoran cald down and stared at the two people in front of her.
There was no problem when cutting the first few pieces of at, but when she cut the sixth piece of at, Qiu Fen imdiately felt that sothing was wrong.
“Madam, there’s sothing in this at. I can’t cut through it!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she imdiately beca excited.
“Take out what’s inside!”
Qiu Fen nodded, then she began to cut the piece of at carefully. She wanted to see what was in it.
When the piece of at was slowly cut open, what was hidden inside was revealed.
When a crystalline crystal was revealed, everyone was stunned.
Li Xiaoran didn’t expect such a beautiful stone to be hidden in this piece of at.
“There’s sothing in these eggs!” the old woman who had beaten them exclaid.
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she looked over and saw a thumb-sized purple pearl in a basin filled with egg liquid.
“Take everything out and put them in another basin before continuing!” Li Xiaoran said when she saw all this.
Qiu Fen and the old woman imdiately picked up what they had found and placed it in another empty basin before continuing to work.
Soon, they discovered several beautiful crystals and a small basin of pearls.
With Li Xiaoran’s understanding of these crystals and pearls, these things were priceless in the modern world, let alone the ancient tis she had transmigrated to.
Thinking of this, Li Xiaoran looked at the old woman.
“Go and invite Luo Cheng and Butler He over!” Li Xiaoran felt that she couldn’t handle this matter, so she could only ask soone to invite Luo Cheng and Uncle He over.
For so reason, Li Xiaoran felt that these things were very important and might cause her and Luo Cheng a lot of trouble.
After Luo Cheng and He Houfa dealt with the wine jars in the wine cellar, they took out so wine and planned to bring them back to the room to examine.
However, as soon as the two of them entered the backyard, they saw the servant Li Xiaoran had called to look for them, so they turned around and ca to the courtyard.
When Li Xiaoran told Luo Cheng what had happened, Luo Cheng also looked at the crystals and pearls found in the at and eggs. His expression turned very ugly.
He Houfa dismissed the servants first, then left two guards to watch over the old woman before walking over.
“Young Master, these things seem very precious! I wonder why they appeared in this old woman’s hands and were discovered at our place!” He Houfa asked curiously.
“These things are indeed very precious. I wonder if you’ve heard that the people of Zhu Lan Kingdom brought their national treasures to negotiate with the current dynasty? Unexpectedly, their national treasures were stolen halfway. You have to know that at this juncture, the loss of their national treasures ans that there’s a high possibility of another war between the two countries. This outco is sothing that the dynasty and the Zhu Lan Kingdom don’t want to see,” Luo Cheng said with a sneer.
“If the national treasure of Zhu Lan’s country is discovered at my house at this ti, or after the war starts, what do you think the consequences will be?” Luo Cheng finally asked.
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she was shocked and looked at Qiu Fen.
“Did you know that the kitchen staff was going to buy a lot of at and eggs recently?”
When Qiu Fen heard Li Xiaoran’s question, he thought for a mont and said, “Yes, we made so sauced at in the kitchen. It tastes very good. Butler He also plans to make more and sell them in the wine shop to custors. To make sauced at, we need to marinate eggs. Therefore, we’ve indeed been buying pork and eggs in large quantities recently.”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she asked, “Are you guys marinating them together?”
Qiu Fen shook her head and said, “The cured at is made by the chef. We’re only in charge of taking out the marinated at to dry. The chef won’t reveal his secret recipe to us. Otherwise, if we secretly learn it, he won’t have an advantage anymore!”
As soon as she said this, Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng realized sothing.
“Uncle He, bring soone to capture the chef from the kitchen!” Luo Cheng said.
He Houfa also reacted and quickly called the guards to rush towards the kitchen.
Unfortunately, they were too late.
The cook seed to have found an excuse to go out when the woman was caught.
After receiving the news that the chef had left, He Houfa quickly instructed
soone to go out and search.
Unfortunately, they never saw this chef again.
Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran looked at the crystals and pearls in front of them and fell into deep thought.
How to deal with these things was the most troubleso problem!
