The Hunter’s Lucky Little Lady Chapter 317 – Something Big Happened

Chapter 317: Something Big Happened

When the old woman heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she didn’t know what to say.

The others looked at the old woman and felt that she looked very familiar, but they couldn’t remember where they had seen her before. For a moment, everyone exchanged looks, but no one spoke.

Li Xiaoran naturally sensed everyone’s confusion.

Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and returned to the basket. Then, she took out the thing in the box.

“Go, get a knife and a basin!”

When Qiu Fen heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she immediately returned to the kitchen to get what Li Xiaoran needed.

“What’s your name?” Li Xiaoran looked at the person in front of her and asked.

“My name is Qiu Fen. I’m an old woman who helps in the kitchen. After I divorced my man, I was forced to sell myself as a slave to find a way out. I was bought by Butler He last year!” Qiu Fen explained her identity and background.

Li Xiaoran nodded. When she heard that the other party worked in the kitchen, she asked, “How are your knife skills?”

“Don’t worry, Madam. I don’t dare to boast about anything else, but with my knife skills, even a chef can’t compare to me!” Qiu Fen said confidently.

When Li Xiaoran heard Qiu Fen’s words, she smiled and nodded.

“Good. Take out all this meat and put it on the cutting board. Cut it piece by piece.”

With that, Li Xiaoran pointed at an old woman and asked her to beat all the eggs into the basin.

For a moment, the courtyard fell silent. Everyone focused on the two people working.

When she saw this, fear rose in the old woman’s heart. Just as she was about to say something, Li Xiaoran sensed something and turned around.

“Pull a handful of grass and stuff it into this person’s mouth! I don’t want to hear her voice again. It’s very annoying!”

A guard beside her immediately grabbed a handful of grass and stuffed it into the old woman’s mouth.

Now, the old woman could no longer make a sound.

Seeing this, Li Xiaoran calmed down and stared at the two people in front of her.

There was no problem when cutting the first few pieces of meat, but when she cut the sixth piece of meat, Qiu Fen immediately felt that something was wrong.

“Madam, there’s something in this meat. I can’t cut through it!”

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately became excited.

“Take out what’s inside!”

Qiu Fen nodded, then she began to cut the piece of meat carefully. She wanted to see what was in it.

When the piece of meat was slowly cut open, what was hidden inside was revealed.

When a crystalline crystal was revealed, everyone was stunned.

Li Xiaoran didn’t expect such a beautiful stone to be hidden in this piece of meat.

“There’s something in these eggs!” the old woman who had beaten them exclaimed.

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she looked over and saw a thumb-sized purple pearl in a basin filled with egg liquid.

“Take everything out and put them in another basin before continuing!” Li Xiaoran said when she saw all this.

Qiu Fen and the old woman immediately picked up what they had found and placed it in another empty basin before continuing to work.

Soon, they discovered several beautiful crystals and a small basin of pearls.

With Li Xiaoran’s understanding of these crystals and pearls, these things were priceless in the modern world, let alone the ancient times she had transmigrated to.

Thinking of this, Li Xiaoran looked at the old woman.

“Go and invite Luo Cheng and Butler He over!” Li Xiaoran felt that she couldn’t handle this matter, so she could only ask someone to invite Luo Cheng and Uncle He over.

For some reason, Li Xiaoran felt that these things were very important and might cause her and Luo Cheng a lot of trouble.

After Luo Cheng and He Houfa dealt with the wine jars in the wine cellar, they took out some wine and planned to bring them back to the room to examine.

However, as soon as the two of them entered the backyard, they saw the servant Li Xiaoran had called to look for them, so they turned around and came to the courtyard.

When Li Xiaoran told Luo Cheng what had happened, Luo Cheng also looked at the crystals and pearls found in the meat and eggs. His expression turned very ugly.

He Houfa dismissed the servants first, then left two guards to watch over the old woman before walking over.

“Young Master, these things seem very precious! I wonder why they appeared in this old woman’s hands and were discovered at our place!” He Houfa asked curiously.

“These things are indeed very precious. I wonder if you’ve heard that the people of Zhu Lan Kingdom brought their national treasures to negotiate with the current dynasty? Unexpectedly, their national treasures were stolen halfway. You have to know that at this juncture, the loss of their national treasures means that there’s a high possibility of another war between the two countries. This outcome is something that the dynasty and the Zhu Lan Kingdom don’t want to see,” Luo Cheng said with a sneer.

“If the national treasure of Zhu Lan’s country is discovered at my house at this time, or after the war starts, what do you think the consequences will be?” Luo Cheng finally asked.

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she was shocked and looked at Qiu Fen.

“Did you know that the kitchen staff was going to buy a lot of meat and eggs recently?”

When Qiu Fen heard Li Xiaoran’s question, he thought for a moment and said, “Yes, we made some sauced meat in the kitchen. It tastes very good. Butler He also plans to make more and sell them in the wine shop to customers. To make sauced meat, we need to marinate eggs. Therefore, we’ve indeed been buying pork and eggs in large quantities recently.”

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she asked, “Are you guys marinating them together?”

Qiu Fen shook her head and said, “The cured meat is made by the chef. We’re only in charge of taking out the marinated meat to dry. The chef won’t reveal his secret recipe to us. Otherwise, if we secretly learn it, he won’t have an advantage anymore!”

As soon as she said this, Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng realized something.

“Uncle He, bring someone to capture the chef from the kitchen!” Luo Cheng said.

He Houfa also reacted and quickly called the guards to rush towards the kitchen.

Unfortunately, they were too late.

The cook seemed to have found an excuse to go out when the woman was caught.

After receiving the news that the chef had left, He Houfa quickly instructed

someone to go out and search.

Unfortunately, they never saw this chef again.

Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran looked at the crystals and pearls in front of them and fell into deep thought.

How to deal with these things was the most troublesome problem!
