“Is business the only thing on your mind?” Luo Cheng suddenly said. “Don’t forget that you’re marrying me in March!”

Li Xiaoran didn’t expect Luo Cheng to suddenly say this and immediately blushed.

“When I think about how I have to wait until March to sleep with my wife, I feel that the wait is so long!” Luo Cheng suddenly said.

Li Xiaoran looked at Luo Cheng in shock. His words were so uncharacteristic.

“Husband, I really didn’t expect you to be such a person.”

“What kind of person am I? Could it be that you can only flirt with me, but me, a handsome man, can’t get intimate with my own wife?” Luo Cheng said as he deliberately approached her.

At this moment, Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng panting, making her blush. “Luo Cheng!” Li Xiaoran couldn’t take it anymore and could only cry out in anger.

“Why are you calling me? Is there anything I can do for you?” Luo Cheng naturally noticed that Li Xiaoran’s face had turned red, so he replied teasingly.

“I’m hungry. I’m going to wash up and eat breakfast now!” Li Xiaoran immediately thought of something and said.

“I see! Give me a kiss and I’ll bring you back for breakfast!” Luo Cheng said as he leaned his cheek over.

Looking at the handsome side profile in front of her, Li Xiaoran felt shy, but also a little emboldened.

Anyway, he was her husband and he was so handsome. It would be a waste not to kiss him!

With this in mind, Li Xiaoran kissed him.

She pecked his face and quickly pulled away.

After Luo Cheng got what he wanted, he naturally brought Li Xiaoran back to the house as agreed.

After bringing Li Xiaoran back to her room, Luo Cheng thought of something and said.

“Don’t go out alone for the time being. Tell Father, Mother, and Xiao Qing not to go out alone either! Someone might be keeping an eye on me and might attack you guys as well! I’ve already instructed my secret guards to protect you guys in secret. Even so, it’s best not to go out alone!”

Li Xiaoran nodded to show that she understood.

During breakfast, Luo Cheng reminded everyone again. Everyone nodded.

The weather seemed to have warmed up today.

After breakfast, Li Xiaoran brought the family to the shop.

More and more customers were pa.s.sing by the official road, and there was more and more business at the noodle shop.

When Li Xiaoran saw Yuan Cheng, she smiled and greeted him before starting work.

Now, in addition to sliced noodles, there were also steamed buns and porridge on the menu.

Bone soup made from pig bones was constantly being served. Some customers would scoop a bowl for themselves when they were thirsty.

Her mother, Zhao Xiu, was cooking noodles.

Li Xiaoqing and Luo Ziyang were in charge of serving the dishes and wiping the tables.

From the looks of things, everything was in order.

However, when the fast food stall next door opened, they would probably be busier.

“Mother, have you found workers for the shop yet?” Li Xiaoran recalled what had happened previously and asked.

“I did. I’ve already confirmed things with a few people! When are you going to meet them? See how many of them you want!” Zhao Xiu replied as she cooked the noodles. “By the way, daughter, many people from the village came, so I’m pushing the responsibility to you. You can decide who you want to hire!”

Li Xiaoran nodded and replied, “There’s no time to lose. Why don’t you tell them to come tomorrow?!”

“Alright, after selling the knife-cut noodles during lunch, I’ll go to the village and tell those people to come to the shop tomorrow!” Zhao Xiu nodded and said.

After the matter of hiring workers was settled, Li Xiaoran began to worry about the the matter of hiring cooks.

Cooking fast food had high requirements for a chef’s culinary skills. If she just let her mother cook all the time, she would be exhausted. It wasn’t worth it.

Besides, her mother had already worked hard for most of her life. Cooking too much would probably hurt her health!

Why not hire some chefs as well?!

“Mother, do you know any good chefs?”

“Chef? You even want to hire a chef?” Zhao Xiu immediately understood what her daughter meant and quickly said, “Didn’t you say before that you wanted me to cook? Why did you change your mind again?”

“Mother, I don’t want you to work too hard! Earning money is secondary. Your health is the most important thing. Hiring a chef is necessary. Think about it. What if something happens at home, or if Grandpa needs your help? What if you can’t leave? You might as well be the manager of noodle stall and the fast food business. Things will be much easier!” Li Xiaoran said her thoughts.

“Aunt Xiu, Xiaoran is right. You’ve worked hard your entire life. Now that Xiaoran is being so filial, you should take things easy and enjoy life!” Yuan Cheng echoed.

“That’s right, Mother, it’s good enough that we can earn money by cooking noodles! Let’s listen to my sister!” Li Xiaoqing also persuaded.

“Yes, yes, yes. Both of you have a point. Anyvvay, after your sister got married, each of her ideas have been better than the last. I’m just waiting to enjoy life!” Zhao Xiu said happily.

“Mother, you should enjoy life! Things have been so hard on you in the past. Now that you’re finally living a good life, you naturally have to enjoy it!” Li Xiaoran walked over and held Zhao Xiu’s hand as she said intimately.

“Go away. You’re already married, yet you’re still wheedling here?! Aren’t you afraid that others will laugh at you?!”

“No matter how old I am, I’m still a child in front of my mother! Besides, we’re family. No one will laugh at me!” Li Xiaoran said.

“Yes, we’re all friends and family!” The three customers who were eating noodles said in unison.

As soon as he said this, everyone laughed.

At this moment, a customer came to buy buns. Yuan Cheng quickly got busy. He wrapped the buns in leaves before handing them over and taking the money.

After looking outside and confirming that there were no customers, Yuan Cheng came to Li Xiaoran’s side.

“Do you really want to find a good chef?”

“Yes! Do you have anyone you recommend?” Li Xiaoran looked at Yuan Cheng and asked.

Yuan Cheng nodded, then looked at Li Xiaoqing.

“Xiao Qing, help me look after the stall. I have something to tell Xiaoran!” Li Xiaoqing agreed and started looking after the stall.

On the other hand, Yuan Cheng brought Li Xiaoqing to the courtyard at the back to discuss things.

“Sister-in-law, I won’t hide it from you. There’s someone in our village who cooks very well. His food is very delicious! However, he wasn’t a chef in the past. He just has talent in cooking.. If you don’t mind, let him try!”
