Seeing Hu Sanniang's confusion, Li Huan quickly leaned close to her ear and whispered an explanation.
"My light escape technique can not only change location, but also change the time and month!"
"I forgot to tell you earlier, we used the Light Escape Technique to arrive at Liangshan Marsh three years in the future!"
Hu Sanniang was even more astonished and asked Li Ying, "Why did Master Li join Liangshan?"
Li Ying said, "When Liangshan attacked Zhu Family Village, Zhu Chaofeng and his son died in battle. Hu Family Village took the initiative to seek peace. I admired Song Jiang's benevolence and love for the people, so I joined Liangshan."
Li Huan chuckled inwardly, thinking to himself, "Brother Diao really knows how to talk nonsense."
In fact, Li Ying wanted to be a local tyrant in Dulonggang and had no desire to become a subordinate of Liangshan.
Wu Yong used a trick: first, he sent someone to impersonate the prefect to arrest Li Ying, then he brought Li Ying's entire family to Liangshan, burned down Li Family Village, and completely cut off Li Ying's escape route, forcing him to join Liangshan.
However, Song Jiang did not treat Li Ying unfairly, ranking him eleventh and appointing him as the deputy chief steward of the Internal Affairs Department and supervisor of the grain and fodder depot.
Wu Song hurriedly asked, "Where are Grandpa Hu and Hu Cheng?"
Li replied, "Hu Cheng was unwilling to join Liangshan, so he took his family and left Dulonggang overnight to seek refuge in Yan'an Prefecture."
Hu Sanniang breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Li Huan thought to himself, "Luckily, Hu Cheng and Hu Taigong ran fast, otherwise they would have been killed by Li Kui."
"How did Zhu Biao die?" Li Huan asked deliberately.
Before Li Ying could answer, Li Kui chuckled.
"That guy's head was split in two by me, and his brother Zhu Long also died under my axe!"
Hu Sanniang's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her eyes revealed a complex expression.
Wang Ying said with a grin, "I've heard that Hu Cheng's sister, Hu Sanniang, is nicknamed 'One-Zhang-Qing' (meaning 'One-Zhang-Qing'), and is not only as beautiful as a fairy but also highly skilled in martial arts. Where has she gone?"
Li Ying pointed at Hu Sanniang: "Brother Wang Ying, you are truly blind! She is none other than Hu Sanniang, the One-Zhang-Qing!"
Wang Ying was taken aback, and everyone else was also astonished.
Li Ying said, "Three years ago, Li Huan pulled Hu Sanniang into the carriage and used his magical powers to escape from Zhu Family Village. They had been missing ever since, but unexpectedly, they have appeared in Liangshan today."
Li Huan boasted, "I'll take my third sister and travel around the world, selling boxed lunches at a stall, living a carefree and happy life."
Wang Ying stared at Hu Sanniang, slurped, and swallowed.
"No wonder you are so beautiful, young lady. You are Hu Sanniang, the one-zhang-tall beauty. I, Wang Ying, have long admired your name. I apologize for my rudeness earlier."
Hu Sanniang snorted and ignored Wang Ying.
Li Huan said, "Lin Chong, did you hear that clearly? I made 100,000 taels of silver selling boxed lunches at a stall in Zhu Family Village. Isn't that just empty talk?"
Lin Chong was speechless. He raised his hand and stroked his beard to hide his embarrassment.
Unable to resist his craving, Li Kui said to Li Huan, "Since the boxed lunch is so delicious, I'll buy one and try it!"
"Okay!" Li Huan picked up the ladle and started serving the food and rice.
Li Kui took out a silver ingot from his pocket and said with a smile, "I only have ten taels of silver. I owe you ten taels. I'll pay you back tomorrow."
Li Huan stopped serving food and firmly refused: "I run a stall and never give credit!"
Li Kui said, "I, Tie Niu, don't eat for free. Come back tomorrow, and I'll definitely make it up to you."
Li Huan laughed. Li Kui doesn't eat for free, just like Gao Yanei doesn't harass women.
"The ingredients are precious, and this is a small business, so we don't offer credit."
Li Kui got angry: "You scoundrel, you were so generous in the shop, treating me to braised pig's trotters, how come you've become so stingy once we leave the shop!"
Li Huan said, "Inviting you to eat pig's trotters is making friends, while setting up a stall to sell boxed lunches is doing business! How can the two be confused?"
Li Kui stared at the "spicy crayfish" and "braised ribbonfish" and said unwillingly, "I only eat shrimp and fish, I don't eat vegetables, so I'll give you ten taels of silver!"
Li Huan said, "Each boxed meal contains four meat dishes and four vegetable dishes; they are not sold separately!"
Li Kui immediately became furious and pointed at Li Huan's nose.
"You think you can get away with this just because I'm being polite?"
Wu Song was annoyed and stretched out his arm to block Li Kui.
"Everything should be done according to the rules. We sell boxed lunches at our stall, and we don't offer credit or sell individually. If you're not buying, please move aside and don't be arrogant!"
Seeing Wu Song make his move, "Soaring Eagle" Li Ying's expression changed slightly, and he wisely took a few steps back.
Li Kui's eyes blazed with fury. He raised his fist, about to smash it at Wu Song, when Lu Zhishen grabbed his wrist.
"Tie Niu! How dare you be so rude! How can you bully others at the foot of Liangshan?"
After Lu Zhishen finished speaking, he took out three silver ingots from his pocket and stuffed them into Li Kui's hands.
"Quickly buy two boxed lunches, I want to try them too!"
Li Kui immediately beamed and handed over four ingots of silver to Wu Song.
While serving the food and rice, Li Huan secretly praised: "At crucial moments, it's still 'Flowery Monk' Lu Zhishen who's reliable!"
Wang Ying quickly took out four silver ingots, held them above his head, and handed them to Hu Sanniang.
"I'd like to buy two boxed meals. Would you be so kind as to serve me the food yourself, young lady?"
Hu Sanniang took the silver and said irritably, "I'll take the money, not the food!"
Wang Ying said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if there are no dishes. As long as you are by my side, I will eat with relish and enjoy my meal, and I will feel at ease."
You need to be thick-skinned enough to be smooth-talking when picking up girls.
Li Huan quickly served four boxed meals and instructed Hu Sanniang to place them on the dining table.
Hu Sanniang turned her head and saw that six folding dining tables and square stools had appeared next to the weeping willows at some point.
Li Kui, Lu Zhishen, and Wang Ying immediately took their seats.
Wu Song brought over disposable chopsticks and paper cups.
Li Huan demonstrated how to open the bottle cap of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor).
Hu Sanniang learned it in no time, opened three bottles of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor), and gave them to Li Kui, Lu Zhishen, and Wang Ying.
Lin Chong, Yang Zhi, Liu Tang, and others, filled with curiosity, continued to watch.
Wang Ying examined the paper cup and said with a grin, "This wine cup is quite unique. It must have been meticulously crafted by Hu Sanniang. It shows that Sanniang is skillful and intelligent!"
The short-legged tiger's skills in picking up girls and flattering others are highly artistic, at least three levels.
Li Kui grabbed the wine bottle, shook it a few times, and then laughed, "The wine cup is too small, it's not enough to drink, I'll drink it straight from the bottle!"
He raised the bottle, tilted his head back, and took a big gulp!
puff!
Li Kui spat out the wine in his mouth, his eyes widened, and he grinned.
"Cough cough... The alcohol is extremely strong... It's choking me..."
Li Huan smiled and said, "This is a uniquely brewed liquor called Erguotou. It needs to be savored in small sips, not drunk in large gulps."
Lu Zhishen picked up the paper cup, took a sip of wine, and his thick eyebrows furrowed.
He swallowed slowly, and then his brows relaxed.
"Although this wine is spicy, after careful tasting, it has a mellow and fragrant taste with a slightly sweet aftertaste. My stomach feels warm, which shows how strong it is."
After hearing Lu Zhishen's evaluation, Li Huan gave a thumbs up.
"As expected of the hero with the greatest drinking capacity in Liangshan Marsh, his wine tasting skills are also extremely high!"
Lu Zhishen chuckled, took another sip of Erguotou, and sincerely praised, "Good wine! Good wine!"
At this moment, Wu Song curled his lip, indicating his dissatisfaction.
Lu Zhishen noticed Wu Song's subtle expression and quickly clasped his hands in greeting.
"This hero is tall and strong, with an extraordinary bearing. He must have a great capacity for alcohol?"
Wu Song smiled slightly and said modestly, "It's not much, just twenty bowls."
Lu Zhishen was immediately excited: "Hero, you are so magnanimous, would you like to have a match with me?"
