At this moment, Hu Sanniang and Wu Song also became curious.
Li Huan laughed and said, "This place is far from the Central Plains; it's in a foreign land overseas."
Pan Jinlian was extremely excited upon hearing this.
"Wouldn't it be even better to go to foreign lands and open a shop selling boxed lunches? I'm willing to go with you!"
Li Huan said, "Don't rush to agree! The customs and culture of that foreign country are completely different from those of the Song Dynasty. You might not be able to adapt after you go there!"
Pan Jinlian smiled and said, "Don't underestimate me! I've had a tough life since childhood. I was a maid, bullied, and even after marrying Wu Da, I was ridiculed! I've struggled and endured these past three years on my own. What is there that I can't adapt to?"
After listening, Li Huan nodded in agreement.
"Alright! Since you're willing to come with me to that foreign land, let's go back to Yanggu County first and wait patiently!"
Pan Jinlian was taken aback, her eyebrows furrowing slightly.
"Are you going to make me wait?"
Li Huan said with a smile, "I've been selling boxed lunches at a stall in Liangshan, but I haven't earned enough money yet..."
"I'll stay and help you!" Pan Jinlian interrupted Li Huan, looking impatient, as if she couldn't wait to go to a foreign land.
"Hmph!" Hu Sanniang rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction.
Li Huan thought to himself, Hu Sanniang has a fiery temper and Pan Jinlian has a strong personality. If the two of them were together, it would be like Mars colliding with Earth.
Moreover, after Laozi reaches level ten, he must return to "Three Kingdoms" and bring Sun Shangxiang into the real world first.
Pan Jinlian's journey through time had to be postponed.
Li Huan deliberately teased, "As the saying goes, two tigers cannot share one mountain! If you stay, I won't have any peace!"
Hu Sanniang understood Li Huan's meaning, and her face flushed red.
Li Huan continued, "You obediently return to Yanggu County. Once I've earned enough money from Liangshan, I'll definitely come looking for you!"
Pan Jinlian hurriedly asked, "How long will it take?"
Li Huan said, "Don't worry, it won't be long this time. I will keep my word!"
Pan Jinlian had no choice but to agree.
Afterwards, Li Huan called over the waiter and booked a room for Pan Jinlian.
"Sister-in-law, you must be tired from your journey. Please go to your room and rest first. We will set off tomorrow morning to leave Liangshan."
Pan Jinlian smiled charmingly and said softly, "You may come to my room and we can talk all night long."
Li Huan's heart stirred slightly, but he remained calm.
"There's plenty of time! Once we reach that foreign land, I can talk with my sister-in-law for three days and three nights without any problem!"
Pan Jinlian's eyes sparkled with admiration as she bowed to Li Huan and stepped out of the room.
Wu Song hurriedly asked, "Brother Huan, did you really take your sister-in-law to a foreign land overseas?"
Li Huan picked up his teacup, took a sip of water, and then smiled.
“Pan Jinlian has already gained experience selling boxed lunches. Taking her to open a shop in a foreign country will allow her to use her skills and earn more money.”
Wu Song said, "That's great. With you by my side, I can rest assured."
Hu Sanniang suddenly spoke up: "I also want to go to foreign lands overseas!"
Li Huan immediately burst into laughter.
"Third sister, what are you going to do in those foreign lands?"
"I...I'll help you open a shop and sell boxed lunches!"
“You’ve never run a shop before and have no experience in business.”
"If we don't have it now, we can learn it later..."
"Aren't you going to Yan'an Prefecture to find Grandfather Hu and Hu Cheng?"
Hu Sanniang remained silent, clearly missing her family.
Li Huan understood his sister's thoughts and comforted her, "Let's discuss this matter in detail. After you've met your father and elder brother, then you can consider going to the foreign lands with me."
Hu Sanniang nodded.
...
early morning.
Pan Jinlian reluctantly bid farewell to Li Huan and left Liangshan in a carriage.
It was almost noon.
Li Huan, Wu Song, and Hu Sanniang continued to sell boxed lunches at their stall under the weeping willows opposite the "Xishan Hotel".
Today's dishes, staple food, and soup are exactly the same as yesterday's.
There were even more Liangshan heroes coming to buy boxed lunches than yesterday!
Li Huan's plan did not rely on retail sales; he was looking for an opportunity to lure Song Jiang out first.
Only as the chief CEO of Liangshan Marsh could Song Jiang have the authority to use 100,000 taels of silver.
While serving the boxed lunches, Li Huan carefully observed the situation and chatted with Li Kui to learn about the leaders present.
The three Nguyen brothers, Nguyen Siu-Er, Nguyen Siu-Wu, and Nguyen Siu-Chi, also came.
Leaders such as "Dragon Soaring into the Clouds" Gongsun Sheng, "Nine-Tattooed Dragon" Shi Jin, "White Streak in the Waves" Zhang Shun, "Divine Strategist" Zhu Wu, "Little Whirlwind" Chai Jin, "Big Knife" Guan Sheng, "Little Li Guang" Hua Rong, and "Thunderbolt" Qin Ming arrived at the scene one after another.
The place was bustling with noise and extremely lively.
Wang Ying changed into a bright red silk dress and put on a brand new hat.
As the saying goes, clothes make the man and a saddle makes the horse.
But Wang Ying's attire made him look even shorter and uglier.
Especially the little round decorative ball on his hat, which was actually green!
"Wife! I'd like to buy two boxed meals!" Wang Ying took out some silver and handed it to Hu Sanniang with a grin.
Li Huan exclaimed, "Wang Ai Hu! You look so handsome today! Like a groom!"
Wang Ying chuckled a few times and patted his chest: "I specially sent someone down the mountain to buy these clothes."
Li Huan changed the subject: "But, in this sweltering heat, aren't you afraid of getting heat rash from wearing so many layers?"
Wang Ying wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! I've always been a refined person, and I would never be like Li Kui, Shi Jin, and Ruan Xiaoqi, shirtless. It's extremely indecent!"
After speaking, Wang Ying raised his head and puffed out his chest, then glanced at Hu Sanniang again.
This jerk used to be all about flattery, now he's resorting to ostentatious displays, all to win over Hu Sanniang's favor.
Li Huan teased again, "Wang Ai Hu, your hat is nice, but your head is a little green!"
Wang Ying, beaming with pride, raised her hand and flicked the small round ball on her hat.
