Crossing with Space, I Was Doted On By The Whole Group

Lu Qiqi transmigrated into a chaotic world of famine. With no parents and carrying a little sister in tow, she had to face immense hardship.

On the road during her escape, while others drank ...

Chapter 43 Setting up a stall (shuhaige.net)

Lu Qiqi and Lu Dahai drove the oxcart back home. Qian's husband, Li Gou Dan, heard that his wife was causing trouble again, so he quickly went down the mountain.

By the time he reached the foot of the mountain, Lu Qiqi and the others had long since disappeared from sight.

Li Shouyi stopped Li Gou Dan, "Gou Dan, you'd better keep an eye on your wife. What kind of things is she doing? Who in our village hasn't received kindness from the Lu family girl? We country folk can't forget our roots!"

Li Shouyi was about ten years older than Li Gou Dan and had a lot of influence in the clan. Li Gou Dan felt a little embarrassed by Li Shouyi's words and said, "Brother Shouyi, I understand. I will talk to her properly."

Unaware that someone had reported her, Qian was still cursing and swearing while delivering food to Li Gou Dan.

Li Gou Dan was already angry, thinking that over the years Qian Shi had been more trouble than she was worth, always coveting other people's things regardless of whether she had anything at home, and her son had been spoiled by her into being a good-for-nothing.

His heart felt like it was about to explode, and he said, "If you keep causing trouble like this, don't blame me for divorcing you."

Madam Qian was furious with Lu Qiqi. Instead of receiving comfort from her husband, she was threatened with divorce. Her resentment filled her heart instantly, and she disregarded her dignity, scratching and clawing at Li Gou Dan. "You dare to divorce me? Without me, could you have found a wife? Without my family's help, could you be living such a good life? I even gave you a son! You dare to divorce me!"

"Hiss!" Li Gou Dan covered his face with his hand, feeling a burning sensation on his cheek. When he looked at the beads of blood on his hand, his face darkened. "Let's go find the village chief. I'll write a letter of divorce today and I'm going to divorce you, you shrew!"

When the villagers saw this, not one of them stepped forward to stop it. They had all suffered at Qian's hands before, and now that Qian had taken advantage of Lu's daughter's kindness, they had seen through her true character. No one dared to intervene.

Lu Qiqi had no idea that Qian Shi had been divorced; they were all unloading timber.

After unloading the timber, Lu Dahai wiped his sweat and said, "By the way, five cows made things much faster. There's a lot more timber in the truck now. If we transport this timber for another two days, we can start building the house."

Lu Qiqi thought to herself, 'Of course! With her spatial ability as a cheat code, she could finish half a month's worth of work in an hour. If she weren't afraid of being burned like a monster, she wouldn't have to put up with a bunch of people crammed into one tent!'

The next day, Lu Qiqi had Zhu Zi sweep the oxcart early in the morning and directed Dun Zi to load all the goods onto the cart.

The four of them set off for Qingshui Town in an oxcart before dawn.

When they arrived at Qingshui Town, it was already dawn. Lu Qiqi paid four large coins to the guard, and after entering the town, she paid another five coins to someone to look after the cattle.

Then, Dunzi and the others pushed the cart towards the West Market, and Lu Qiqi followed the flow of people in that direction, choosing a roadside stall at the entrance to the West Market.

Lu Qiqi knew that no matter how delicious the food was, if the location was not good, no one would come to eat it; location was especially important.

Once the location was chosen, Zhu and Dunzi set up their stalls, and Lu Qiqi hung up the banners she had written earlier.

Liu Tong, being a worldly man, couldn't help but chuckle when he saw the words on the banner. "Fat Brother Spicy Noodles, Seventh Girl, is this Fat Brother me?"

Lu Qiqi nodded in agreement, “Yes, there are quite a few food stalls on this road, such as Li's, Chen's, and Zhu's, all named after surnames, which are not distinctive. But with our name, and looking at your appearance, everyone can remember it at a glance.”

Liu Tong never expected there to be such a trick to doing business, and felt he had benefited greatly. "After you explained it this way, even if I don't buy anything, I can still remember this place just by passing by. Brilliant! This idea is wonderful!"

Lu Qiqi smiled and laid out the ingredients one by one. The chili oil and other condiments were prepared the night before, and the bowls were taken from her space. Now, only the noodles were left.

Liu Tong asked Zhu Zi to help him roll up his sleeves and started kneading the dough. It has to be said that Liu Tong's skills are quite good. Just by looking at the strength in his hands when kneading the dough, you can tell that he is not bad at cooking!

The market gradually became more crowded, and there were quite a few people eating. Dunzi looked at the wonton shop next door, which had already had two groups of customers, while his stall hadn't even had anyone asking for food. His expression gradually turned grim.

Lu Qiqi also noticed this. They had eaten something before leaving, and were hungry by this time.

Lu Qiqi said to Liu Tong, "Uncle Liu, give Zhuzi and Dunzi each a bowl of spicy noodles and a bowl of pork bone soup noodles."

Liu Tong met Lu Qiqi's gaze, immediately understood, and smiled, "Okay."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zi waved his hands repeatedly. How could he eat before the business had even opened? Just as he was about to speak, he saw Lu Qiqi raise her chin and say, "Sit down."

Zhu Zi immediately understood and pulled Dun Zi to sit down together.

Liu Tong worked quickly and served noodles to the two of them.

The aroma of the spicy noodles spread quickly, soon attracting passersby.

A five- or six-year-old child, holding the hand of an elder in the family, said, "Grandpa, it smells so good! I want to eat meat noodles too."

Grandpa saw that there was indeed a lot of meat in the large bowl. He thought that his good grandson wanted to eat, and since it was only five coins a bowl, it wouldn't be a problem to buy a bowl. Besides, it looked like there was quite a lot of meat in it!

Grandpa led his grandson to the noodle stall and asked, "Little girl, how much is a bowl of noodles?"

Upon seeing the people arrive, Lu Qiqi immediately stepped forward to greet them, raising her voice to announce, "Two coins a bowl, with spicy noodles and pork bone noodles. Vegetarian noodles are one coin."

As soon as Lu Qiqi said this, it attracted the attention of many passers-by. After all, who on the street would dare to sell things for such a high price!

Grandpa was also startled and said, "Everyone else pays five coins a bowl, how come you're selling it for such a high price!"

Lu Qiqi's smile remained unchanged as she said, "My noodles are the real deal! The pork bone broth has been simmering for two hours, and there's even shredded meat on top. Even the vegetarian noodles have the flavor of meat broth. I guarantee you'll praise how delicious they are after you've tried them!"

Grandpa still thought it was expensive, but he couldn't resist his grandson's pleading and said, "Give me a bowl of pork bone noodles, with meat!"

Liu Tong said, "Alright, a bowl of pork bone noodles, please come in and have a seat."

Passersby, seeing that the grandfather and grandson had indeed sat down, couldn't help but be curious and came over. When they saw a bowl of chili oil, their mouths watered. Luzhou Prefecture was hot and humid, and many people preferred sour and spicy flavors.

Seeing such delicious chili oil, I'm willing to endure the pain to try it, and I'm also curious to know if it's worth the money!

"Young lady, give me a bowl of spicy noodles with meat!"

"I'll have a bowl of spicy noodles with meat too!"

Seeing that business was gradually improving, Zhu Zi and Dun Zi quickly finished their noodles and helped with the work.

Lu Qiqi served the grandfather and grandson a bowl of pork bone soup noodles, along with an empty bowl so they could share it.

Children wear their emotions on their sleeves. When they saw the meat noodles, they clapped their hands happily, exclaiming, "Grandpa, look! There's cabbage in these noodles too!"

After saying that, she picked up her chopsticks and gave some meat to her grandfather.

Grandpa felt that the money was well spent because his grandson was so well-behaved and sensible!
