Chapter 133

133 Meeting Li Yan Again

In the morning, they left the noodle stall to their family to handle. Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng stayed behind to put the duck eggs that had been dried yesterday in the two large pots.

Although the movements were simple, they felt tired after repeating them thousands of times.

After finally putting in the last duck egg, Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng poured the prepared salt water into the large vat and heaved a sigh of relief.

!!

“I didn’t expect it to be so difficult to make salted duck eggs!” Luo Cheng couldn’t help but sigh.

“It’s not easy to make any food. You have to put in a lot of effort to make tasty food!” Li Xiaoran said as she rubbed her sore shoulders and arms.

Seeing this, Luo Cheng walked over and circulated his internal energy to massage Li Xiaoran’s shoulders and arms.

Luo Cheng’s move was really amazing.

After being massaged like this, Li Xiaoran’s arm no longer felt sore.

“Husband, you’re amazing! With your skills, you can earn a lot of money by setting up a stall in the future!” Li Xiaoran praised.

“In your dreams! I’m unwilling to massage other people! If you weren’t my wife, I wouldn’t have massaged you either!” Luo Cheng said coolly.

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she smiled.

“Looks like there are many benefits to being your wife!”

“That’s right. There are many benefits. You’ll know in the future!” Luo Cheng said seriously.

With that, Luo Cheng thought of something and said something else.

“I’m going to town to buy some things today, like the chicken feet and other things you wanted! Stay at home alone and don’t wander off!”

“Alright, I’ll tidy up the house. When you bring back the things, I’ll make tasty food for everyone!” Li Xiaoran nodded and replied.

Luo Cheng nodded and then drove away with the ox cart.

Li Xiaoran didn’t idle at home. She first tidied up the house and then went to study the words that Luo Cheng had taught her to write. In the end, she had nothing else to do.

It couldn’t be helped. Everyone in the family was clean, so it didn’t take much time to tidy up.

As for writing, Li Xiaoran knew how to write to begin with. It was naturally easy for her to practice writing traditional characters.

After thinking about it, Li Xiaoran planned to go to the vegetable garden at the back to pull the weeds.

However, it was also a pain to have two especially diligent parents at home!

The vegetable field was tidy and there were no weeds at all.

Li Xiaoran was completely dejected!

She should find something for herself to do!

After returning to her room, Li Xiaoran began to plan her future.

Now that the noodle stall was operating well, there was a considerable amount of income every day.

At least in her opinion, the income wasn’t low.

The shop was also under construction. After it was constructed, they could cook in the shop.

The most important thing now was to think about what to sell in the shop in the future.

She had considered it before, and everyone had given their opinions. They wanted to make some stir-fried vegetables.

However, her restaurant couldn’t compare to the restaurants in town. After all, the customers came from different places.

There were only some people traveling on the official road. Time was tight, so they would only stop for a short time.

If they cooked for everyone, there would be no time, and the customers wouldn’t be able to wait.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Li Xiaoran could only make those fast-food boxed meals.

The so-called fast-food lunch box was about preparing the dishes in advance. When a customer came, they only needed to explain what they wanted and pay for the warm food quickly.

She believed that a fast-food model should be very suitable for customers who were traveling.

In addition, they shouldn’t stop selling noodles. Instead, they could add some things to sell. For example, they could sell hand-cut noodles and dumplings. At the same time, they could also steam some buns and spring rolls.

Anyway, the shop was so big. It was better to do both kinds of businesses at the same time.

As for the shops in town, since Luo Cheng said that he wanted to open a wine shop, she wouldn’t interfere.

That place was also Luo Cheng’s property. She should focus on her own development!

Although Li Xiaoran had decided to develop her relationship with Luo Cheng, she, who had received modern era education, still wanted independence.

In her opinion, Luo Cheng’s was Luo Cheng’s, and hers was hers.

No matter how much money Luo Cheng earned, she would be happier earning money herself.

Of course, if Luo Cheng needed anything, she would definitely help.

She would help make some food if he needed food to go with the wine.

However, that was another big business to run. She wouldn’t worry about it and would leave it to Luo Cheng to handle!

Anyway, Li Xiaoran knew her position very well. She would eat as much as she could.

She could open the plumbing shop now and make her business popular.

As for the future, he would think about it when it came to that!

Thinking of this, Li Xiaoran had a clear development plan on her mind. Next, she had to elaborate on some practical problems.

He could hand the knife-cut noodles to his sister, Xiao Qing, and leave the cooking to his mother. He could rope Mao Dao and Yuan Cheng in to make buns and spring rolls.

After interacting with them for a while, Li Xiaoran felt that these two people were quite diligent, so it was fine to recuirt them to earn more money.

Other than that, they were definitely going to have to hire waiters.

After all, after the shop had expanded, they needed more manpower.

Even if Luo Ziyang was working with them now, he alone wasn’t enough.

Besides, Luo Ziyang was Luo Cheng’s buddy after all. She had to ask Luo Cheng and Luo Ziyang for their opinion on what to do in the future.

Therefore, it was better to exclude Luo Ziyang first.

In the end, Li Xiaoran put down the matter of hiring workers and planned to find some reliable people to work with when her parents returned.

Anyway, Li Xiaoran wasn’t worried that she wouldn’t be able to find a good waiter.

After all, if they could earn money by working near home, and the wages weren’t low, many people would definitely want to participate.

After figuring it out, Li Xiaoran discovered a new problem.

Since the shop was going to expand, where would the ingredients for cooking come from?

Thinking of what her father was good at and her plan to grow vegetables in the orchard forest, Li Xiaoran began to think again.

She realized that there were too many things to do!

Thinking of this, Li Xiaoran wanted to go to the orchard forest again.

Anyway, it was close to home. There shouldn’t be any problem if she brought Big Yellow along!

Thinking of this, Li Xiaoran did so.

However, she encountered trouble.

As soon as Li Xiaoran went out into the orchard forest, she met Li Yan, who had been hiding in the dark.

Seeing Li Yan’s face, Li Xiaoran suddenly thought of something.
