Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“You forgot something! Aren’t you going to build a fish pond? We’re going to sell so many fish, so where are you going to nurture them?” Li Xiaoran felt that something was missing here, but she couldn’t remember it at the moment.

When she passed by the kitchen, she suddenly remembered.

Luo Cheng smiled when he heard Li Xiaoran’s words.

Luo Cheng said as he led Li Xiaoran down the stream, “Of course there is. It’s in the stream you saw previously! I use live water. When the time comes, those fish can be nurtured in the stream and swim around. It’s better than nurturing them in a pool of stagnant water!”

At this moment, the stream finally flowed into a pool. After the pool was filled, the water would flow down through an iron net at the top of the pool, forming a small waterfall. Then, it would flow out of the farmstead along the river.

When Li Xiaoran saw this, she immediately clapped her hands and praised it.

“Husband, is this what you thought of? This design is really amazing!”

Luo Cheng teased, “Of course. You’re so outstanding, so as your husband, I naturally have to improve as well. Otherwise, how could I be on par with you?” When Li Xiaoran heard this, she smiled again.

“Husband, you’re already very outstanding. If you continue to become more outstanding, I’ll feel very pressured!”

Luo Cheng hugged Li Xiaoran and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t leave you behind!”

They had a place for the grilled fish shop, so all that was left was to prepare other things.

After Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng returned home, Li Xiaoran picked up a pen and paper and drew all the poker cards and mahjong tiles.

The mahjong that Li Xiaoran drew was the kind of mahjong in Sichuan back in the day.

Li Xiaoran couldn’t make those cards and mahjong tiles in the modern world, so she replaced them with bamboo pieces.

The rest was left to the craftsmen working for Luo Cheng. It only took three days to make the mahjong and poker cards Li Xiaoran wanted.

Looking at the mahjong and poker cards made of bamboo, Li Xiaoran was shocked.

Li Xiaoran couldn’t help but marvel, “Gosh, these craftsmen are so dexterous. They actually made these things so exquisitely!”

Luo Cheng looked at the things in front of him. They looked good, but he had no idea what they were for.

After Li Xiaoran thought for a moment, she called Zi Cheng and Zi Zheng over.

Li Xiaoran took a deck of poker cards and taught Luo Cheng and the others how to play ‘Fight the Landlord’.

In the beginning, the few of them didn’t know the rules, so they needed Li Xiaoran to tell them the rules.

After playing it a few more times, the few of them gradually became familiar with the rules of this card game.

After Luo Cheng and the others learned it, the way the three of them looked at Li Xiaoran changed.

Luo Cheng asked curiously, “Turns out that there’s such a fun thing! Xiaoran, what’s this thing called?”

Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, “This is called cards!”

Luo Cheng added, “Cards? Why don’t we call them bamboo cards?! We can use this to unwind in the future!”

Li Xiaoran didn’t care what this was called. She simply felt that the bamboo card wasn’t bad.

Li Xiaoran pointed at the mahjong tiles made of bamboo on the other side and said, “Other than this, there are many other ways to play. I’ll teach you guys this method first today. Next, we’re going to a square table to play mahjong!” The mahjong game made of bamboo was also a rectangular card.

Although it wasn’t as comfortable to the touch as the modern era’s mahjong, it wasn’t bad.

There were four people now, so there was no need for everyone to take turns.

As Li Xiaoran explained the rules of mahjong, she began to teach everyone how to play.

With the experience of playing cards previously, Luo Cheng and the others felt that it was much simpler to learn mahjong now.

After a few rounds of mahjong, the four of them were already good at playing it.

This time, the four of them couldn’t stop playing.

After the sun set outside, the four of them realized how much time had passed.

Luo Cheng frowned in alarm.

“There are good and bad things about this thing! It’s good for killing time, but it might give those gambling addicts even more tricks!”

When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she recalled that modern-era people were addicted to mahjong and gambling. Then, she sighed.

“Husband, you’re right. This thing is very good for killing time. At the same time, it’s very addictive! How should I put it? This thing is like martial arts. If you use it for righteous purposes, it will be considered a good thing. If you use it with malicious intentions, it will be considered a bad thing. If you think this thing has a bad influence on everyone, don’t put these things out!”

When Li Xiaoran thought of mahjong and poker cards, she really forgot the disadvantages of these two things.

At this moment, Li Xiaoran didn’t know what to do!

Luo Cheng was also very hesitant. After thinking about it, he finally decided to put these things away.

“Li Xiaoran, you’re right. If these things are used in the right places, they’re good. If they’re not used in the right places, they’re bad!

Li Xiaoran naturally supported Luo Cheng’s decision.

Although Zi Cheng and Zi Zheng felt that it was a pity, they also supported Luo Cheng’s decision as well.

After all, gambling had harmed too many people in this world.

Without mahjong and poker cards, Li Xiaoran thought of some other games.

For example, they could split the traditional words into small cards and randomly draw a few to see what words they could form.

Luo Cheng approved of this card game.

Li Xiaoran also told them how to play other games.

Luo Cheng recorded these ways of playing and planned to let the farmstead’s guests play them.

After confirming all this, all that was left was to train people.

Not only did chefs have to be trained, but people who did odd jobs also had to undergo systematic training.

It was unknown where Luo Cheng had picked up so many disabled soldiers from the battlefield and sent them here.

Li Xiaoran taught them everything she could.

When these people had learned enough, Li Xiaoran would choose some outstanding people from among them.

Unlike Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran, Pei Xuanxin had been focusing on Li Yan these few days.

Some things couldn’t withstand investiga tion.

Many problems could be discovered with a single investigation.

Although there was no concrete evidence, Pei Xuanxin had already realized that something was wrong with Li Yan!

It was obvious that Li Yan had interacted with Qi Fei, Ai Mingze, and the others behind his back!
