Luo Chuan's idea coincided with Jiao Dad's.
Coincidentally, Jiao Dad had also heard some rumors recently. The most famous Jiang's Kitchen, which made its fortune selling braised meat, was in poor condition and might even go bankrupt. This could be an opportunity for Jiao's Scream Braised Food to develop.
Jiang's Kitchen? Jiang Tian Hao?
Luo Chuan's eyes flashed. This seemed like a real opportunity.
However, it's easy to say but difficult to do. To expand the customer base, they need to go to the city. The initial investment alone would require a significant amount of funds.
Jiao Dad and Jiao Mom couldn't afford this.
If Luo Chuan sold the gold bars he got from the system and added his cash, he would have about 130,000 to 140,000, which should be enough.
But he didn't need to think about it. Jiao Dad and Jiao Mom would definitely not use that money.
But it didn't matter. Luo Chuan had already come up with a plan. It just wasn't the right time yet. No one would believe him if he told them.
After that, they chatted casually for a while. Luo Chuan got up and left.
Watching Luo Chuan disappear into the darkness, Jiao Dad sighed,
“What a great kid. It would be great if he could become our son-in-law. It's just that these two kids don't seem to be a good match.”
Hearing this, Jiao Mom hit Jiao Dad, then glanced at Zhu Wei Jiao's room and turned to say,
“You're being so nervous again. Why are you in such a hurry to marry Jiao Jiao off? And, if you don't understand girls, don't talk nonsense. Don't you worry about being laughed at by others?”
Jiao Dad was bewildered and asked in confusion,
“What did I say wrong?”
Jiao Mom rolled her eyes at Jiao Dad. *I gave you a look, figure it out yourself.*
She knew her own daughter best. If Jiao Jiao really didn't have feelings for Luo Chuan, why would she run over to his place every day? How could she even focus on her tutoring?
*You don't know your daughter's personality at all!*
The next day, Luo Chuan got up early and went to the back mountain to practice Wuji Zhuang and Bajizquan. With the +3 Bone Temperament bonus, he was now gaining more than ten points of experience each time he practiced.
Luo Chuan also discovered that the Steel Physique actually also had an effect on practicing Bajizquan and Zhuang Gong. If you didn't talk about killing techniques, Bajizquan could also be considered a sport. Naturally, he would enjoy the immunity to damage.
With that being said, Luo Chuan could appropriately increase the number of times he practiced Bajizquan each day. If he could, he could even practice all day.
But he wasn't sure about the effect. After all, humans weren't machines. They got hungry, tired, and mentally drained.
【Wuji Zhuang +56】
【Bajizquan +51】
After two rounds, Luo Chuan felt his stomach rumbling. He put on his clothes and went back home.
Jiao Jiao didn't come over for breakfast this morning, so Luo Chuan just had a quick bite.
Although he called it a quick bite, Luo Chuan didn't eat a little. With his current physique, he needed a lot of energy every day, and with all the martial arts training, eating enough was the minimum standard.
After breakfast, Luo Chuan sat at his desk, busy with his own things: reading books, practicing calligraphy. There were so many skills he needed to improve, he could always find something to do. Luo Chuan was enjoying it.
Every time a system prompt sounded in his mind, Luo Chuan would feel even more motivated.
This continued until eleven o'clock in the morning. Luo Chuan put down his book and looked at his phone. He couldn't help but feel a little strange. Why hadn't Li An Ran come yet?
Could something have delayed her?
Just then, his phone started vibrating. Li An Ran's name was clearly displayed in large characters.
Talk about the devil! Luo Chuan smirked. He then answered the call.
Half a minute later, Luo Chuan hung up the phone, stood up, stretched, put on his clothes and walked out, waiting for his girlfriend by the stone with the inscription "Daxiang Village".
About ten minutes later, a taxi pulled up beside Luo Chuan.
She's here!
The taxi door opened, and Li An Ran got out of the car. A beige jacket was draped over a pair of yellow wide-leg pants. She looked bright and clear, obviously dressed up.
Luo Chuan waved. Li An Ran's lips curved into a bright smile.
“Sorry, I was delayed on the way.”
“It's okay, you look beautiful,” Luo Chuan complimented.
Li An Ran's smile widened, and she confidently said, "Of course!" She wasn't wrong, she had spent a whole morning choosing her outfit.
“Let's go. Come to my place,” Luo Chuan said.
“Wait,” Li An Ran stopped Luo Chuan. She hesitated and said,
“Is it okay for me to go to your place like this? Are your parents easy to talk to?”
Hearing this, Luo Chuan chuckled and said directly,
“Don't worry, I'm the only one at home right now.”
“Huh?”
Li An Ran was stunned. She didn't quite understand what he meant.
Luo Chuan rubbed Li An Ran's hair, then held her hand and walked forward, introducing his family situation as they walked.
It wasn't surprising that Li An Ran didn't know much about Luo Chuan's family. After all, they had only been officially dating for less than a week.
When they arrived at Luo Chuan's home, Li An Ran's face was full of apology and guilt. She never imagined that Luo Chuan would have such a family.
His recently deceased grandmother, his irresponsible parents, and the burden of all the responsibilities on Luo Chuan's shoulders.
“Come in,” Luo Chuan pushed open the door.
Seeing that Li An Ran stood at the doorway and didn't come in, Luo Chuan sighed and pulled her inside directly.
“You really don't have to feel guilty or anything. My grandmother died of old age, and she didn't have any regrets before she passed away. My parents are just strangers to me with a blood relationship, that's all.”
Hearing Luo Chuan say this, Li An Ran's guilt lessened slightly, and she couldn't help but admire Luo Chuan's strength and detachment.
“Can I pay respects to your grandmother?”
Luo Chuan looked at Li An Ran in surprise, then nodded,
“I'll take you there.”
Luo Chuan's grandmother's portrait was placed in her former room. The room was a little cold and quiet, but it was very clean, as if it was often cleaned.
Li An Ran walked in and looked at the photo. It was of a kind-looking old woman.
She lit three incense sticks and inserted them into the incense burner, then bowed and murmured something before walking out.
However, when Li An Ran walked out, it was as if something had opened up for her. She wasn't the same guilty and worried girl as before.
While Luo Chuan was pouring water, Li An Ran began to walk around the living room, until she saw a photo on the cabinet.
It showed Luo Chuan, Tu Jun, Zhu Wei Jiao, and several other people she didn't recognize.
Seeing Luo Chuan with a smile and a happy atmosphere with the others, Li An Ran seemed to understand why he didn't want to transfer schools.
“That was taken during the Chinese New Year with my neighbors and friends. They're good people. They took good care of me when I first came here,” Luo Chuan walked out with a kettle, pouring Li An Ran a glass of water.
Li An Ran put down the photo and said with a smile,
“I can tell. You're very happy with them.”
Luo Chuan smiled and said,
“What do you think? Is my home different from what you imagined? Are you disappointed?”
Li An Ran suddenly stood up and came to Luo Chuan's side. Because Luo Chuan was tall, she could only look up at him,
“It is different from what I imagined,” Li An Ran said seriously,
“But I'm very happy, because my boyfriend is more outstanding and responsible than I imagined.”
Looking at Li An Ran, who spoke so seriously, Luo Chuan burst into laughter and quickly kissed her on the lips.
By the time Li An Ran realized what had happened, her cheeks were already flushed. She lightly hit Luo Chuan's chest.
“You… you're so bad.”
Looking at the slightly “furious” Li An Ran, Luo Chuan laughed again. This silly girl was too cute.
