After she left, Li Xiaoran turned around and saw many people staring at her.

“What are you guys doing? Why are you guys all looking at me strangely?”

“Sister, you’re the one who’s acting a little strange, okay?” Li Xiaoqing walked over and sized up Li Xiaoran. “Sister, why are you acting so strange today?”

“What’s strange about what I did? I’m just doing a good deed!” Li Xiaoran didn’t find it strange at all. She walked back and came to Luo Cheng’s side.

“Husband, do you think I’m strange?”

“I don’t think so! I’m just wondering if you can cook me a bowl of hot and sour noodles tomorrow!” Luo Cheng said thoughtfully.

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she couldn’t help but laugh.

“We want it too!” the others shouted in unison.

The few people who had just been hired to work held back their laughter. They wanted to laugh but didn’t dare to.

“Yes! All of you will get to eat it! I’m going to start serving a new dish tomorrow. I’m going to sell sour and spicy noodles to everyone, so you can eat them if you want. Other than this, I plan to add handmade dumplings to the menu too. However, these two dumplings will take a long time to cook. When customers order them, we have to remind them to wait a little longer!” Li Xiaoran thought of something and reminded them.

Everyone nodded and remembered what Li Xiaoran had said.

It was still raining outside. Li Xiaoran thought for a moment, then went to take out the pork.

Gao Chen was in charge of chopping the stuffing, while Luo Cheng and Luo Ziyang were in charge of kneading the dough.

Li Xiaoran and her daughters were in charge of rolling the noodles into dough and making them into dumpling skins.

The other three women were in charge of washing the chives, cabbages, and spring onions.

When they were done, the group came together to make dumplings, then placed the dumplings on the bamboo-woven steamer before placing them on the shelves.

“Daughter, I’m afraid you’ll have to sell these dumplings every day in the future. As the weather gets warmer, these things won’t be able to be stored. I feel that selling dumplings is too troublesome. You shouldn’t add these two foods to the menu!” Zhao Xiu moved her sore shoulder and said worriedly. Li Xiaoran actually regretted it a little now and realized that she had been too naive.

In the modern era, wontons and dumplings could be wrapped in large quantities and stored in the refrigerator. They could be sold at any time.

Things like dumpling skins and wonton skins were also available for sale. Things were not as troublesome as they were now.

“That’s true. It’s indeed a little troublesome to sell these, unlike sour and spicy noodles, which can be soaked in advance and cooked when you want to eat it! Forget it, we won’t sell these handmade dumplings. Let’s cook a bowl to eat later. We’ll bring the rest back and eat them gradually over the next few days!” Li Xiaoran was someone who was willing to listen to other peoples’ persuasion.

If she really did something wrong, she would admit her shortcomings and correct them.

When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he thought of something, but swallowed his words.

He couldn’t tell anyone that Li Xiaoran knew how to make ice cubes.

Therefore, they would take these handmade dumplings home to freeze and eat them themselves.

After all the minced meat was wrapped, there was still some dough left. These doughs were not wasted. They could also be eaten with pancakes./

Since it was raining and there were no customers, Zhao Xiu simply placed some spring onions and meat with the remaining dough and made fresh omelets.

As soon as she finished cooking the omelets, everyone ate one. At this time, they heard a commotion outside.

“Brother Luo, Sister-in-law, there’s a caravan outside!” Yuan Cheng, who was standing at the door, suddenly shouted.

When the people in the house heard this, they swarmed to the window and door and looked out.

Sure enough, a caravan member pulled up the road outside.

The people who usually set up food stalls had already gone home when it started raining.

Therefore, on such a big road, only Li Xiaoran’s food stall was left.

“Stop looking. Hurry up and wash your hands! There are so many customers. Get busy!” Li Xiaoran called out and went to wash her hands first.

By the time the people in the shop washed their hands, the merchants had already tied up the ox carts and walked towards the shop.

The group swarmed in. For a moment, the voices of people ordering food continued nonstop.

For the next four hours, everyone was busy.

The dumplings and wontons that they had made previously were all sold out. They sold as many as they had wrapped.

Not only the wontons, but even the omelets that Zhao Xiu had previously cooked were all sold out.

Of course, Yuan Cheng and Mao Dao’s buns and rolls were also sold out.

Li Xiaoran was busy counting the money, but as she counted, she felt that something was wrong with the money!

Li Xiaoran thought for a moment, then called Luo Cheng over.

“Husband, come here. Look at these silver ingots! ” Li Xiaoran said as she took out some silver ingots and placed them in front of Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng was a little puzzled, but he still took the ingots and looked at them carefully.

At first, Luo Cheng wasn’t very attentive, but the longer he looked at the silver ingots, the more solemn his expression became.

“There’s something wrong with these silver ingots!”

“You can tell?” When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she asked, “I also feel that something is wrong with these silver ingots, but I can’t put my finger on it!”

“Who gave you these silver ingots?” Luo Cheng asked.

“I know. It’s the rich businessman who bought a lot of omelets!” Luo Ziyang said.

Luo Ziyang liked Zhao Xiu’s omelets very much, so he had been craving them.

Unexpectedly, the omelets were all bought by a rich businessman. That was why he paid extra attention to the other party and looked at the money he paid with.

“Ziyang, take a look!” Luo Cheng threw some silver ingots to Luo Ziyang and asked him to take a closer look.

Luo Ziyang quickly caught the silver ingots and took a closer look.

Luo Cheng walked straight towards the rich businessman and sat beside him.

“Sir, if I may ask, do you sell textiles? I wonder if you have any good textiles here? There will be a joyous occasion in a few months, so I want to make some nice clothes with my wife, but I can’t find good quality textiles!” Luo Cheng asked earnestly.

The rich businessman’s originally vigilant expression immediately changed when he heard Luo Cheng’s words.

“You’re quite discerning. You were able to determine my profession at a glance! Speaking of which, I really have a lot of high-quality textiles in my hand. I’ll get someone to bring a few for you to choose from.” “Okay! Thank you so much!” Luo Cheng said in surprise..
