“The shopkeeper also has to pa.s.s my a.s.sessment! If you two don’t pa.s.s the a.s.sessment, I’ll also replace you! Therefore, it’s best for you to choose according to your actual situation. Do whatever you’re good at!” Li Xiaoran couldn’t help but remind them, “I’ll give you three days to consider. Come and tell me your choice in three days!”

Luo Wenchao and Luo Wenbiao nodded and left.

After leaving the house, the brothers took a few breaths of air before finally coming back to their senses.

“Brother, it’s true! Sister Ran really promoted us!”

“Shh!” Luo Wenchao gestured for him to keep quiet. After he looked around, he said softly, “Don’t talk about this outside. Let’s think about what’s suitable for us to do and discuss it tonight!”

Luo Wenbiao nodded and suppressed his excitement before following his brother back to the shop.

The shop was busy at this time, so the brothers quickly went to work after they returned.

Li Xiaoran also found her sister, Li Xiaoqing, at night.

“After the shops on the food street are built, I’m afraid there will be fewer people working in the shop. You have to be in charge of hiring attendants! Sisi and Mao Dao will start their own business soon. I also have other uses for the Luo brothers, so you should quickly find a few reliable people to be attendants!”

After Li Xiaoqing heard this, she smiled.

“Sister, don’t worry! Now, as long as we spread the news of the recruitment, many people will be willing to come! Actually, I’ve secretly paid attention to many people and there are really a few suitable candidates. When you have time, help me check them!”

Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, “Choose a few people first, then I’ll help you take a look! I’ve told you that this sliced noodles shop is my dowry for you!”

“I’m not getting married out of the family. Brother Ziyang is marrying into the family!” Li Xiaoqing said with a smile.

“Then you have to have the money to take care of Ziyang! This sliced noodles shop is our family’s business! Also, you have to be in charge of the fast food shop in the future! Don’t refuse! These two shops are my filial piety to Father and Mother!” At this point, Li Xiaoran simply told her everything. Li Xiaoqing didn’t refuse. After all, this had been agreed upon before.

“Sister, it’s so good to have you!”

Li Xiaoran thought of something and said, “You’re my sister, so how can I not treat you well?! If you stay at home, you have to take good care of Father and Mother! Why don’t you teach someone how to make sliced noodles?! That way, you won’t be so busy! Think about it, after you get married to Ziyang, you still have to get pregnant and give birth. It’s impossible for you to stay in the shop and cook sliced noodles forever!”

Li Xiaoqing frowned and said, “But you taught me how to cut noodles. If I teach it to others and this person has other intentions, won’t he steal our business secret?”

Li Xiaoran thought of someone and said with a smile, “Actually, there’s a candidate. It depends on whether you’re willing or not!”

“Who is it?” Li Xiaoqing asked curiously.

“Wen Lu!” Li Xiaoran said, “I think Wen Lu is a good person, so we can let her take over and learn how to make sliced noodles! This way, if you give birth or something happens in the future, you can have someone to help you!”

“If it’s Sister Wen Lu, it might work! Sister Wen Lu is a very good person and has a feisty personality. I think she’s perfect for the position!” Li Xiaoqing said.

“Since you’re willing, I’ll go and ask her tomorrow. If she’s willing, I’ll let her learn from you!” Li Xiaoran said when she saw that her sister had agreed.

After Wen Lu received the news, she was very happy.

Although she was also working in the shop now, the salary was naturally not as high as that of making sliced noodles.

Now, not only could she learn culinary skills, but she could also increase her salary. She couldn’t ask for more!

Therefore, as soon as Li Xiaoran mentioned this, Wen Lu agreed.

Just like that, Zhao Sisi began to do some ch.o.r.es while Wen Lu learned how to make sliced noodles.

Luo Wenchao and Luo Wenbiao had also made their choice. To Li Xiaoran’s surprise, Luo Wenchao chose to learn culinary skills and Luo Wenbiao chose to be the shopkeeper.

Li Xiaoran tested the brothers separately and realized why they had chosen to do so.

Luo Wenchao’s taste buds were different from ordinary people’s, and he had good culinary skills, so he was the most suitable person to learn how to be a chef.

Although Luo Wenbiao was impulsive at times, he was brave and resourceful. He also had talent in terms of management.

Just like that, the brothers learned from Li Xiaoran in the morning and went to work in the shop in the afternoon. Then, they waited for Li Xiaoran to prepare the mutton shop.

The source of the mutton was from the county. They could just buy it from Uncle wu.

There were also ready-made tables and chairs. Li Xiaoran’s father and other carpenters had made a lot.

What they lacked the most now were attendants and a bookkeeper.

It wasn’t troublesome to find attendants. If they posted a recruitment notice, many people would come.

The bookkeeper was something that could only be chanced upon by luck.

Not only was Li Xiaoran’s mutton soup shop short of customers, but the roast duck workshop that was about to be built was also short of a bookkeeper.

After Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng discussed it, they posted a recruitment notice.

This time, they had to hire a lot of workers, including the shop attendant, the bookkeeper, and the workers for the workshop.

As soon as this notice was released, everyone became excited.

There were many people being recruited this time, so many people saw hope and were eager to try.

Not only the people from the surrounding villages, but even those from other places sought refuge with their relatives in nearby villages when they received the news, causing the number of people who came to apply to far exceed the number of people Li Xiaoran and the others needed.

In the end, Li Xiaoran could only choose herself.

They would first choose the bookkeeper, then choose the attendants and the workers who went to the workshop to work.

Because the requirements were different, they naturally had to be extra careful when choosing people.

Zi Cheng, Zi Zheng, Yu Peng, and Jiao Hang were in charge of choosing some people. Then, Li Xiaoran would choose.

This way, the workload would be greatly reduced.

Li Xiaoran decided to take a look at the six bookkeepers who had been chosen..
