Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

"Yes, it's delicious. This spicy strip is chewy. Why do I feel like meat when I eat it?" Sheng Xuan said as he ate the spicy strip. This time he learned his lesson and only ate the spicy strip. He didn't dare to put the chili directly into his mouth.

Xiao Lan couldn't eat much because she had been making spicy noodles and smelling the fumes for the whole morning. She picked up a spicy noodle and ate it slowly. "What do you think? Should we recommend this food to Mr. Zhao?"

Everyone knows that Zhao Dongjia came to Xiaolan's house a few days ago and specially asked Xiaolan to come up with ideas for new dishes for Tianxianglou. When Zhang Qingfeng and Fu Shi knew that Xiaolan was going to develop new soy products, they were excited for a while.

"I think it's feasible. The aroma is tempting, and when customers see the red food, they will surely swallow their saliva. This spicy strip looks very good. If we sell it in Tianxianglou in town, are you still afraid that no one will come to try it? As long as they taste it, I guarantee that they will want to have it again after this one. There is a word, yes, mouth-watering, yes, this word is the most appropriate to describe the spicy strips made by Xiaolan." Fu didn't even eat her meal, and started counting on her fingers to talk about the advantages of spicy strips.

"The word my sister-in-law said is so appropriate, 'mouth full of saliva.' You see the juice has soaked into the spicy strips, and when you take a bite, your mouth is full of juice," Liu said while swallowing her saliva. She really couldn't help it, so she quickly picked up a piece with chopsticks and put it in her mouth, with a look of satisfaction on her face.

Xiao Lan looked at the people at the table. Her uncle, aunt, and Sheng Xuan were already red-faced from the spiciness. After hearing what Liu said, they couldn't help but pick up a piece and put it in their mouths. Xiao Lan then looked at Xiao Wen and Xiao Hu, who were eating without even raising their heads. Well, she didn't have to worry about no one liking spicy strips.

The food made in this era is quite bland, and the strong flavor of spicy strips is very attractive. When the weather is good, she will go to the medicine store to check it out. If spicy strips are added with a spicy flavor, the taste will be richer. You know, the current spicy pepper is a medicinal ingredient, and no one uses it as a seasoning.

If peppercorns can be used in spicy strips, then spicy strips will have an extra flavor. Nowadays, the most commonly used seasonings for ordinary people to cook are salt and soy sauce. The spicy strips she made broke the traditional sense of dishes. This kind of spicy strips that stimulate people's taste buds is probably something everyone will be brave enough to try with the desire to try something new.

Xiao Lan’s main task now is to study the method of making spicy strips. Only if the spicy strips are made perfectly and the taste is the same every time they come out of the pot, it means that her research and development has been successful.

The next morning, Xiao Lan begged Sheng Xuan to take her to the medicine shop. Of course, the two of them went straight to Chunshengtang in the town. Now that the two families were relatives, Xiao Lan would not go empty-handed. She took some spicy noodles made yesterday and brought them to Bao's family.

Not only did Bao's family know Xiaolan and Shengxuan, but even the pharmacist in the shop knew them. After all, Xiaolan's purchase of a large amount of Tusu wine had made Bao determined to buy Tusu wine and medicinal materials, and the Bao family made a lot of money. This had long been known in the pharmacy. In addition, the children of the Bao and Sheng families had just got engaged recently, so this must be fate destined by God.

As soon as Xiaolan and Shengxuan arrived at Chunshengtang, the perceptive pharmacist quickly invited Manager Bao to come out.

Xiao Lan saw Bao coming out to greet them, and hurriedly handed him the basket. "We just made some new food. Let your family try it and see if you like it."

Shopkeeper Bao glanced at her and said with a smile, "I heard from my uncle that he went to your house the other day and asked you to think of new food. Are these what you just thought of?"

Xiao Lan smiled and nodded. She brought over some of the spicy strips she made yesterday and thoughtfully prepared bamboo skewers.

Shopkeeper Bao welcomed the father and daughter into the backyard, opened the basket, tried it, and praised it, "This new food is really good, the soup is rich, and the more you eat it, the more you want to eat it. Hahaha, I'm afraid my eldest uncle hasn't eaten it yet, right? The thing I'm most proud of is my marriage to your family. You see, I can eat such delicious food just after the marriage."

Bao's words made Sheng Xuan and Xiao Lan feel very comfortable. In terms of the current economic situation of the two families, Xiao Lan's family was far less wealthy than Bao's. However, Bao did not think he was superior to them. Instead, he treated them equally and was even proud of the fact that they could marry Xiao Ting and Xiao Lan's family.

"Uncle Bao, we are family, so I won't be polite with you." Because they are really familiar with each other, not only because of the engagement, but also before the engagement, Xiao Lan was very familiar with each other, so she spoke directly, "I am here to buy medicinal herbs today."

"I knew you wouldn't come here for no reason. Tell me, what herbs do you want to buy?" Shopkeeper Bao laughed, picked up a bamboo stick, put a spicy strip in his mouth. He ate while thinking, I'm afraid the little girl will come up with something new again. This little girl's brain is different from theirs. Her head is full of wonderful ideas.

"Uncle Bao, I want to buy some fennel and peppercorns." Xiao Lan said without hesitation, "Uncle Bao, I'll take as many as you have at home. And if you bring in more, I'll need to consider how much I need."

Shopkeeper Bao put down the food in his hand and stopped what he was doing with his mouth. "Is it related to the new food?"

Xiao Lan did not hide it from him and nodded with a smile.

Seeing that she was confident, Bao gradually calmed down. He glanced at Xiaolan and ate the spicy strips with the bamboo sticks in his hand. "Xiaolan, what's the name of the food you made? The more I eat, the more I want to eat. I can't stop at all."

"Spicy noodles." Xiao Lan said.

After the money and goods were settled, Sheng Xuan took Xiao Lan back to Shengjia Village. Of course, Bao did not ask for more, but only charged the cost price. Before leaving, Bao also reminded Xiao Lan, "Next time you make new food, don't forget me."

Xiao Lan nodded in agreement, and promised that when she developed new food, she would send it to their family first.

Xiao Lan is busy developing spicy noodles at home, while Shen Liu is living a very comfortable life.

The ice-making recipe he got from Xiao Lan made him a fortune this summer. He not only provided ice to the city, but also to other regions and even the capital in this hot summer.

Buying and selling ice cubes is a business with no capital, but also a business with huge profits. He knows that eggs should not be put in one basket, so he not only makes money by buying and selling ice cubes, but also does some other businesses to earn huge profits.
