142 Not An Ingrate
Old Madam Jin nodded. After asking the butler to pay for the noodles, the group left.
When they were completely gone, Li Shun walked forward and said, “Were they really here to eat noodles?”
“You think they were here to find trouble? Can’t you be more optimistic?” Zhao Xiu rolled her eyes at her man for being so harsh.
When Li Shun heard his wife’s words, he immediately came to his senses and slapped himself twice.
“It’s my fault. I’m such a potty mouth!”
When Li Xiaoqing heard her father’s words, she immediately laughed and exposed him.
“Father, you didn’t make a sound when you slapped yourself!”
“Go away, little girl. Why can’t you be nicer to your father?” Li Shun looked at his daughter plaintively and said.
These words brought laughter from the family.
The matter seemed to have passed, but there was actually a follow-up.
From then on, Old Madam Jin brought five people over every day.
Every time, after eating a bowl of noodles, she would ask someone to pay for the noodles and leave again.
Over time, Old Madam Jin became a frequent customer of the noodle stall.
Of course, that was for later.
After sending off Old Madam Jin and the others, there were no guests on the official road for the time being, so Li Xiaoran found Mao Dao and Yuan Cheng to discuss future arrangements.
“Mao Dao, Yuan Cheng, are you two free now?”
Mao Dao and Yuan Cheng, who had just steamed the buns, rushed over when they heard Li Xiaoran calling them.
“Our steamed buns have just been steamed. We’re free now. Do you need us to do anything?” Yuan Cheng asked.
“That’s right. Don’t stand on ceremony with us. If you need us, just tell us!” Mao Dao added.
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she laughed.
“There’s something important that I want to discuss with you! Your shop’s construction will be finished soon. At the same time, the weather will be colder. Are you two willing to follow me in the future and specially make steamed buns in my shop to sell? Because I want to teach you how to make steamed buns, then provide you with a shop, ingredients, and firewood. I’ll take 40% of the money earned from selling steamed buns and spring rolls!”
Yuan Cheng and Mao Dao didn’t expect Li Xiaoran to call them over to talk about this.
After Li Xiaoran finished speaking, Yuan Cheng could not believe it.
“Are you still willing to teach us how to make buns and spring rolls?”
“Yes! Don’t you want to learn?” Li Xiaoran asked.
“Of course I do! But Sister-in-law, if you have such skills, you can actually just leave it to Sister Xiao Qing! Why do you have to teach us?” Mao Dao asked what was on his mind.
“Of course I have to learn, but I also want to bring you guys to earn more money! My husband and I have seen your performance during this period of time. We all think that the two of you are good, so we thought of passing this skill to you two so that you can earn more money!” Li Xiaoran smiled and said her thoughts.
“We’ll do it!” When Mao Dao heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he naturally understood her good intentions.
“You don’t despise us for being disappointing and even help us earn money. Only a fool would reject this offer!” Yuan Cheng was also excited.
“Don’t be too happy. I said before that I’ll take 40% of the money!” Li Xiaoran looked at the two of them and said.
“Of course. You’ve already provided the ingredients. We just need to make buns and rolls. Moreover, we can also sell things in the shop to earn money. What a good offer! Not to mention 40%, you can even take 70%!” Mao Dao said.
“That’s right. Mao Dao is right! Why don’t you take 70%?! Speaking of which, Mao Dao and I should take 30%!” Yuan Cheng said honestly.
Li Xiaoran could sense that the two of them were speaking from the bottom of their hearts, so her mood improved.
Helping others was fun, as long as she wasn’t helping ingrates.
If they helped others, the other party might not be grateful. Instead, they would think that they had taken advantage of them. That would be infuriating.
Fortunately, she had chosen the right people.
“There’s no need for 70%. 40% is enough! The remaining 60% of the profits can be divided between the two of you! When you accumulate money and have the capital in the future, you can set up a stall elsewhere to sell money. At that time, how much you can earn will depend on you!” Li Xiaoran said.
“Can we go out and set up our own stall to earn money in the future?” Yuan Cheng asked in a daze.
“Why not? Are you going to stay in the shop for the rest of your life? When you save enough money and marry a wife in the future, you’ll have your own family to earn money for!” Li Xiaoran teased.
Such a wonderful prospect made Yuan Cheng and Mao Dao so touched that their eyes turned red.
“Sister-in-law, thank you! We will definitely do our best!” Mao Dao said gratefully.
“Yes, we’ll definitely do our job well! In the future, you’ll be our biological sister-in-law. In the future, if there’s anything you need me to do at home, just tell me! I don’t have anything else, but I have strength!” Yuan Cheng quickly said.
“Alright, alright, look at you guys. You make it sound like I want you to go through hell! As long as you do your job well in the future and don’t do stupid things, you won’t be letting me down!” Li Xiaoran said with a smile.
Mao Dao and Yuan Cheng nodded and remembered Li Xiaoran’s kindness to them.
In the next few days, Luo Cheng became very busy.
On the third night, Luo Cheng finally returned.
Luo Cheng brought out most of the spicy braised food he had made previously and left a small portion for his family to eat.
It had to be said that anyone who had eaten such tasty food would fall in love with the taste.
As soon as Luo Cheng returned home, his face was filled with joy.
“I really didn’t expect this spicy braised food and my cocktail party to be so popular.”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately guessed something.
You’ve already opened the shop in town?”
“Of course. Since we’re going to do it, we have to do it immediately! I have a lot of wine in stock, so I can use them. There’s so much wine. If I don’t sell some, the wine cellar won’t be able to accommodate them in the future!” Luo Cheng replied with a smile.
“Husband, you have a wine cellar?” Li Xiaoran asked curiously.
“I have a lot of wine cellars! Don’t go to the noodle stall tomorrow. Come up the mountain with me to hunt! You can also help me pick some herbs! I can also show you my wine cellar!” Luo Cheng thought of something and said.
