Traveling through ancient times, the empress insisted on having a child with me

Yun Fu Ji was still bustling with people throughout the afternoon, so much so that the dim sum was bought by customers as soon as it was made.

Some customers even simply wait in the shop for the dim sum to come out of the oven.

As for the sweet cloud cake, countless people wanted to buy it directly, with the bids being as high as five hundred coins per pound.

It was not until dark that there were no more customers, and Ling Chuan quickly asked someone to close the shop.

"If we don't close the shop, there will be no snacks to sell tomorrow."

Ling Chuan looked at the busy people and said, "Well, you guys make some snacks and I'll cook for you."

When Xiao Taohong heard this, she stood up in a hurry and said, "How can this be done? I'll go."

Ling Chuan pressed her shoulders and asked her to sit down: "Just relax and make snacks with them. I have nothing to do, so I'll show you my skills. Have you ever tried noodles with soybean paste?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"Okay, then I'll let you have a taste of my cooking."

Ling Chuan went to the backyard and started busying himself. He fried a pot of meat sauce, cut some cucumber and radish shreds, and finally cooked a large pot of noodles. Just as he was about to go to the front hall with the noodles, there was a knock on the backyard door.

Ling Chuan came to the door and asked in confusion: "Who is it?"

Lu Xi's voice came from outside the door: "It's me."

The first thing Lu Xi said when he entered the room was: "Where's Xiao Taohong?"

"I'm busy in front." Ling Chuan picked up the noodles and asked, "Have you eaten?"

Lu Xi asked curiously: "What is this?"

"Noodles, have you ever tried noodles with soybean paste?"

Lu Xi shook his head.

"Then try my cooking."

As he spoke, he ordered the female guard who had just driven the carriage into the yard: "Sister Chujiu, come and lend a hand. Help me bring the pot of meat sauce."

The three of them came to the front hall. When everyone saw Lu Xi coming, they quickly stood up and greeted him.

Ling Chuan then called out, "Eat, eat. Everyone, eat first, and then work after you finish eating."

But seeing Ling Chuan serving noodles to Lu Xi, no one dared to eat with Lu Xi and could only stand there awkwardly.

Ling Chuan served the noodles, poured a spoonful of meat sauce on it, added some shredded radish and cucumber, and while stirring it, he brought it to Lu Xi.

"Try it." He then looked at everyone and said, "Eat it, help yourself."

At this time, Lu Xi couldn't help but taste a mouthful of noodles, and began to praise: "Mr. Ling's noodles are also unique, and they suit my taste very well. Everyone should try Mr. Ling's cooking skills."

Everyone came forward, and Ling Chuan also filled a bowl of noodles and sat opposite Lu Xi. Before he started eating, Lu Xi spoke first: "What are you doing?"

"Making dim sum." Ling Chuan didn't even raise his head as he slurped the noodles into his mouth. While eating, he said, "Let me tell you, we launched a new variety of dim sum today, and we sold out all of it in the morning. In the afternoon, we sold as many as we made, without stopping for a moment. If we don't make some dim sum tonight, I'm afraid our shop will be demolished tomorrow."

Lu Xi stopped the noodles he picked up at the edge of his mouth: "Is the business so good?"

"Of course, when have I ever boasted before?" Ling Chuan added, "By the way, we are seriously short of manpower right now. Can you assign a few reliable people to come over? The wages are three taels of silver per month, plus bonuses."

Lu Xi paused and asked, "Are you still paying me?"

Ling Chuan's eyes widened: "What are you talking about? How can you not get paid for your work? Hey, there's some meat sauce on your face...here."

When Lu Xi was eating noodles, some meat sauce accidentally got on her chin. Ling Chuan gestured on his own face, but Lu Xi reached out to wipe it but it didn't come clean. Ling Chuan simply stood up and scraped the meat sauce off her chin with one finger.

Just when Ling Chuan was thinking how slippery it was, everyone who was eating noodles nearby was dumbfounded.

This guy even put his hand on Your Majesty's face?

Cao Huanchun suddenly coughed lightly, and everyone immediately realized that this was not what they should be watching, so they quickly lowered their heads to eat noodles, and even deliberately made a lot of noise, with a lot of slurping sounds.

Lu Xi just felt his face getting hot. He said, "I'm done eating," then put down the bowl, stood up and walked towards the atrium.

Because her face was hot, she had to get some fresh air quickly, and it was dark outside so it wouldn't be easy to be seen.

Ling Chuan actually finished eating and followed him out: "Is this noodle soup not to your taste?"

Lu Xi didn't dare to look at Ling Chuan, for fear that he would see her blushing.

"Actually, I had already eaten. It smelled good so I tried it. It tasted good and suited my taste. It was even better than the mandarin fish and tofu soup I had last time."

As soon as he finished speaking, the scene of that night emerged in Lu Xi's mind unconsciously, and he wanted to slap himself in the face. Why did he bring up this matter?

So she quickly changed the subject: "From what you said, your business is doing pretty well."

"Of course." Ling Chuan said proudly, "I can't say anything else, but I do have some experience in business."

"A lot of experience?" Lu Xi glanced at Ling Chuan and asked, "Have you ever done business before?"

Ling Chuan was stunned for a moment, and almost forgot his identity: "Well, the experience learned from miscellaneous books."

Lu Xi nodded: "From this point of view, your dream of becoming a rich man will soon be realized. What else do you want to do by then?"

"How can it be so fast? The first step I have to take is to make Yunfuji the only one in Beijing. The next step is to franchise and open Yunfuji all over the world and establish a complete sales network. Once this sales network is established, it will be easier to do any business in the future."

"Wait, what do you mean by franchising and sales network?"

"This franchising is..." Ling Chuan raised his finger and was about to explain, but when the words came to his lips, he changed his words: "Franchise means opening a branch. The sales network means that Dasheng has branches everywhere. Doesn't your Lu family have any?"

Lu Xi was afraid that he would bring this up. After all, he had just made up an excuse. Who knew that this nerd was so proficient in this? "Of course there is. How much money do you think you need to earn to be considered a rich man?"

"Hehe, you asked that question. Of course the more money the better. There is a saying that goes, if you are poor, you should take care of yourself, and if you are rich, you should help the world. If I have money, of course I will benefit everyone."

Lu Xi looked at Ling Chuan, his eyes full of scrutiny. It seemed unlikely that this guy could have such feelings.

Ling Chuan felt embarrassed by being stared at, and he laughed dryly: "I was just talking nonsense, actually I just want to make more money so that I can go to your house to propose marriage."

The two were walking along the pond. Lu Xi was startled when she heard the words and stopped. She looked at Ling Chuan in disbelief: "You mean to propose marriage?"

"Of course." Ling Chuan also stopped and looked at Lu Xi and said seriously: "With a relationship like ours, it's reasonable to propose marriage. I'm not the kind of person who will abandon you after having sex with you."

Lu Xi frowned, and a cold aura emanated from him: "Are you saying that I'm a traitor? Who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to come to my house and propose marriage?"
