Hu Sanniang's face flushed slightly.
She retorted angrily, "Don't talk nonsense! How could I possibly miss you!"
Li Huan laughed and said, "Since you're willing to leave, I'll buy you a fast horse and send you on your way after we close up shop."
Hu Sanniang fell silent again.
Seeing the girl's appearance, Li Huan already had his answer.
“I understand now, the reason you’re not leaving is to collect your money!” Li Huan said deliberately.
"What silver?" Hu Sanniang asked, looking up.
Li Huan said, "I once promised you that if you helped me set up a stall selling boxed lunches in Zhujiazhuang, I would give you a thousand taels of silver! Now I'm giving you ten thousand taels, which you can use to buy a house and fertile land in Yan'an Prefecture!"
Hu Sanniang exclaimed in surprise, "Ten thousand taels? So generous!"
Li Huan continued, "I earned 100,000 taels of silver from that old scoundrel Zhu. If I only give you 1,000 taels, it would seem too stingy!"
Hu Sanniang shook her head: "You and Wu Song earned 100,000 taels of silver through your skills. How could I possibly accept 10,000 taels? I appreciate your kindness!"
The girl's tone was firm; she wasn't greedy.
Li Huan secretly praised her, looking directly into Hu Sanniang's eyes.
"As for our photos, there's no need to destroy them now. I want to keep them as a memento, and look at your smiling face from time to time."
Though his tone was calm, it was like a pebble thrown into the river of Hu Sanniang's heart, creating ripples that spread far and wide...
With the heartless and ungrateful Zhu Biao dead, Hu Sanniang can choose a new life.
She bit her lip lightly, thought for a moment, and asked, "How much silver do you plan to earn by coming to Liangshan Marsh?"
Li Huan answered truthfully: "One hundred thousand taels!"
Hu Sanniang nodded and said, "Alright! I'll help you set up a stall selling boxed lunches on Liangshan. After you've earned 100,000 taels of silver, I'll go to Yan'an Prefecture to find my father and brother!"
Li Huan asked, "Last time you helped me set up a stall in Zhujiazhuang to destroy the photos, why are you helping me this time?"
Hu Sanniang glared at her with her almond-shaped eyes: "I'm willing! Don't ask again!"
Li Huan chuckled and teased, "You're right to help me earn money. You can use that to prepare a generous dowry in the future!"
Hu Sanniang blushed and punched Li Huan on the shoulder.
Seeing Li Huan and Hu Sanniang flirting and acting intimately, "Dwarf Tiger" Wang Ying's eyes were filled with jealousy.
At this moment, Li Kui shouted in a muffled voice, "Last night, Brother Gongming and the strategist were discussing the matter of being granted amnesty again, and I was getting annoyed by it!"
Liu Tang said unhappily, "Whoever wants to be granted amnesty can do so, I will never agree!"
Li Kui said, "On Liangshan Mountain, we drink and eat heartily, living a carefree and happy life. Why should we submit to the imperial court and serve the dog emperor? I will never agree to that!"
Yang Zhi swallowed the "tomato stewed beef brisket" in his mouth and laughed, "That's not true! If we submit to the court, we will surely be given important positions so that we can serve the country, eliminate corrupt officials, and benefit the people."
Li Kui retorted, "You think you can't eliminate corrupt officials without submitting to the court? What nonsense are you spouting? It's utter rubbish!"
Yang Zhi smiled slightly, too lazy to argue with Li Kui, and continued eating his boxed lunch.
Li Huan pondered.
Of the more than one hundred leaders of Liangshan Marsh, no more than twenty openly opposed the amnesty.
Most of the other leaders supported Song Jiang's willingness to accept amnesty; some leaders remained neutral or went with the flow.
Right now, by setting up a stall selling boxed lunches in Liangshan territory and earning 100,000 taels of silver, he can take the opportunity to win over the heroes who oppose the amnesty, sabotage Song Jiang's amnesty plan, and completely crush his dream of being loyal to the court and bringing glory to his ancestors.
We must assist heroes like "Flowery Monk" Lu Zhishen, "Cloud-Piercing Dragon" Gongsun Sheng, and "Nine-Tattooed Dragon" Shi Jin, who hate evil and uphold justice, to become leaders of Liangshan Marsh, truly act on behalf of Heaven, kill all corrupt officials, and not become cannon fodder for the imperial court!
As Li Huan was thinking, Sun Erniang walked over, holding a cup of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor), swaying her hips.
"Li Huan's boxed lunches are indeed delicious! I especially love the spicy crayfish and braised ribbonfish!"
"Braised beef brisket with tomatoes tastes a hundred times better than my braised beef!"
"Brother Li Huan, your cooking skills are so superb, I admire you to the core!"
Seeing that Sun Erniang's attitude had become more polite, Li Huan smiled and said, "You flatter me!"
Sun Erniang raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled charmingly.
"Brother Li Huan, if you continue to set up your stall here, my hotel will definitely go bankrupt in less than ten days. Please, brother, have mercy!"
Li Huan said, "You flatter me too much. Xishan Hotel has Liangshan backing it up. It's a big and powerful company. How could it be afraid of a lunchbox vendor?"
"Sigh..." Sun Erniang sighed, "Even if the chefs of the four major hotels in Liangshan worked together, they still couldn't match your culinary skills!"
That's right.
In terms of the size of the various meat pieces, Li Huan cannot compare with the four major hotels in Liangshan, but in terms of the taste of the dishes, he is definitely a cut above them!
Sun Erniang sighed again, finished her Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor), and returned to the hotel.
Wang Ying, hiccuping from the alcohol, swayed as he stood up and grinned at Hu Sanniang.
"Young lady, if you come to set up your stall again tomorrow, I'll buy you another boxed lunch to support you!"
Hu Sanniang showed a look of disgust and ignored Wang Ying.
After eating and drinking his fill, Li Kui, carrying a wine bottle in one hand and patting his round belly with the other, approached Li Huan.
"Thanks for the reminder, brother!" Li Kui chuckled, reeking of alcohol. "I changed my bet on Wu Song to win and made a lot of money!"
Li Huan whispered, "Tomorrow at noon, if you bring a few more heroes here to buy boxed lunches, I'll give you two bottles of Erguotou!"
Li Kui was overjoyed: "It's a deal!"
Half an hour later, after everyone had finished their boxed lunches and drunkenly drank their spicy soup, they left.
Wang Ying leaned against the weeping willow, his eyes fixed on Hu Sanniang, reluctant to leave.
Li Huan and Hu Sanniang quickly packed up their stall, got into their electric tricycle, and drove to the backyard of the Xishan Hotel.
Wang Ying exclaimed in surprise: "Amazing cart! Amazing cart! It doesn't even need horses!"
After parking in the hotel's backyard, Li Huan removed the car keys, locked the doors, and led Hu Sanniang up to the second floor.
Inside the guest room, Wu Song was still fast asleep, snoring loudly.
Li Huan called over the waiter and opened another room for Hu Sanniang to rest in.
...
The sky was getting dark.
Li Huan was lying on the couch, half asleep, when he heard someone knocking on the door.
Wang Dingliu, the "Living Flash Granny," has returned from Yanggu County? So soon?
Li Huan immediately got out of bed and opened the door.
Nima, it's "She-Devil" Sun Erniang.
She changed into a red chiffon dress, which couldn't hide the spring sunshine in the garden, exuding a mature charm.
"Brother Li Huan, I've brought you some tea!"
Sun Erniang carried a pot of tea, which emitted a delicate fragrance.
Li Huan thought to himself, "There must be something fishy about the she-devil's overtures."
Sun Erniang walked to the table, poured herself a cup of green tea, and then sat down, watching Li Huan.
Her smile was as beautiful as a flower, and her eyes were captivating.
Sun Erniang said softly, "Brother Li Huan, I have a bold idea, but I don't know if I should say it?"
Goodness, is this some kind of hint?
Did Sun Erniang use her beauty to attempt a "honey trap"?
Such a fierce young woman, I have no interest in her.
Li Huan remained vigilant, refraining from drinking tea to avoid being drugged.
"Speak quickly..." Li Huan quickly changed his tune, "If you have any bold ideas, please speak up!"
