Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu were completely bewildered, as if they were listening to gibberish.
Li Huan persisted, picking up "garlic-flavored lettuce" with her chopsticks again.
"Uncle Liu, you are well-traveled and knowledgeable. Have you ever tasted romaine lettuce grown overseas?"
Just as Liu Bei was about to answer, a group of villagers came running up, panting!
They surrounded the electric tricycle, eagerly collecting their boxed meals.
Li Huan quickly served the dishes and rice, and warmly delivered them to the villagers.
Soon, all fifty boxed meals were delivered.
The villagers were laughing and chatting. Some were squatting by the roadside eating boxed lunches, while others were hurrying home.
Zhang Fei was both envious and surprised: "The boxed meals are expensive, why are they being given away to the local villagers for free?"
Li Huan wiped the sweat from his face and launched into a serious, rambling monologue.
"I have one unwavering principle when I sell boxed lunches at my stall!"
"Give it away for free to the poor! But when it comes to high-ranking officials and nobles, you have to pay a high price!"
"Liu Bei is the governor of Xinye, and Generals Guan and Zhang are of high status. How can the three of them eat boxed lunches for free?"
"Haha!" Zhang Fei's eyes showed approval. "You're quite interesting, robbing the rich to help the poor!"
Guan Yu scoffed, "Selling each boxed meal for five taels of gold? That's outrageous!"
Li Huan retorted, "You spend lavishly on beautiful women, but you're stingy and petty when it comes to buying a simple lunchbox!"
Guan Yu glared with his phoenix eyes: "Nonsense! When and where has Guan Yu ever spent a fortune on a beautiful woman?"
Li Huan shrugged: "You won't admit it in front of the villagers."
Guan Yu was enraged and clenched his fists.
Liu Bei hurriedly said, "Yun Chang is not interested in women and has never squandered a fortune or tried to win the favor of a beautiful woman."
Seeing that the other party was gradually falling into the trap, Li Huan steadied himself and struck while the iron was hot.
"If I reveal the secret of General Guan's extravagant spending on beautiful women, would Liu Bei be willing to buy the rest of the lunch boxes?"
Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu with eyes full of trust.
Guan Yu stood tall and proud, facing the wind, his long beard flying, displaying his noble and righteous spirit.
"I'm willing to buy it!" Liu Bei said firmly. "If you can't reveal Yun Chang's secret, what will happen to you?"
