In fact, Zhao Changgeng was not the son of Liu Qiaomei and Zhao Sixi, but the son of Liu Qiaomei and Zhao Shouxiang.

After Liu Qiaomei remarried Zhao Sixi, she found out that she was pregnant. They were afraid that Zhao Shouxiang's family would not agree to them raising the child. They were also afraid that the child would be fatherless and would be bullied in the future, so they said that Zhao Changgeng was their child, but was just born prematurely.

Afraid that Zhao Changgeng would look like Zhao Shouxiang when he grew up and be recognized by others, the couple swapped the ages of their two children and told others that Zhao Changsheng was the second child and Zhao Changgeng was the eldest son.

Zhao Sixi burst into tears and stumblingly told Zhao Changsheng the truth of the matter.

"Changsheng, your father learned the skill of making noodles from Changgeng's father. This skill originally belonged to him, which is why your father did not leave the noodle shop to you."

After learning the truth, Zhao Changsheng regretted his decision. He always thought that his father was biased, but he never expected that the truth would be like this.

He kowtowed to Zhao Sixi and Zhao Changgeng to admit his fault, "Dad, second brother, I'm sorry for you!"

Back then, Zhao Changsheng ran away from home, worked odd jobs for a while, suffered the ups and downs of life, and was finally captured by pirates.

Because he could cook and the pirates were short of a cook, he was trapped in Yunhe Temple as a cook.

Later, Yun Canghe colluded with Wu Liangcai and wanted to open a shop in the town. He also wanted to take revenge on the Zhao family. Finally, he took the initiative to come up with an idea and opened a new Zhao Ji Noodle House in Xinpu Town. With Yun Canghe's support behind the scenes, they quickly brought down the old Zhao Ji Noodle House.

Zhao Changgeng didn't expect that he was not Zhao Sixi's biological son, but his cousin.

He knelt down and kowtowed to Mr. Zhao, "Dad, you will always be my dad. Your son will definitely respect you and take care of you until the end of your life."

Zhao Sixi had suffered a stroke and was not in good health.

"Get up. In Dad's eyes, you are brothers. You must treat each other well and support each other."

Finally, the Zhao father and son put aside their past grudges and reconciled.

Li Yuer presented the fish stewed noodles to Li Erlang, who then presented it to the Zhao family as a betrothal gift.

In the end, both Zhao brothers opened noodle shops. Zhao Changsheng sold pork noodles, and Zhao Changgeng sold fish noodles, and both businesses were very good.

Li Yuer invented instant noodles and also made dried seafood, such as soy sauce-flavored squid, squid shreds, five-spice small yellow flowers, fish intestines, etc.

These seafoods can be preserved for a long time without deteriorating and can be easily transported over long distances to inland areas for sale.

The Li family opened a seafood processing workshop in Fushui Village and recruited villagers from Fushui Village to work.

Because of the need for a large amount of seafood, Li Yuer bought the entire Rabbit Island and built it into a breeding base.

Today, the Li family's seafood is sold throughout the Cangyuan Dynasty, and is even exported to all parts of the world through Mr. Hu Sanye's shipping routes. Li Yuer has made a fortune and has become the true owner of the Golden Island.

In the autumn of the same year, Cai Junyi passed the imperial examination and married Guo Qingran.

Li Dalang also got married, and Li Meir and Qiao Chengyun got engaged.

During a delivery, Mr. Hu's youngest daughter saw Li Laosan and was impressed by his handsome appearance and righteous behavior. She fell in love with him at first sight. After communication between the two families, Li Laosan and Mr. Hu's youngest daughter got engaged.

Unexpectedly, the most talented student in the Li family turned out to be Li Laosan. He, Datou and Laizi all passed the examination to become a student.

A year later, Li Erlang got married, Qiao Chengyun passed the imperial examination and married Li Meir.

Li Dalang's wife Wen Miaomiao gave birth to a daughter, and Hainiu was successfully promoted to uncle.

Because instant noodles and fish intestines are easy to carry and transport, they are designated by the imperial court as military rations and are purchased regularly every year.

The Cangyuan Dynasty was constantly at war with the northern barbarians, and the northwest was bitterly cold. In winter, the soldiers on the urgent march could not even get a bite of hot food.

With instant noodles, just boil some hot water, simmer for a while, and you can eat hot noodles.

Fish intestines and squid shreds are even more convenient. You can carry them with you and use them for standing guard, surveillance, and ambush. No matter where or when you are hungry, you can just take them out, tear open the oil paper packaging and eat them. They are convenient and delicious, and have greatly helped the Northwest Army.

In addition to the construction drawings of the kang and fireplace that the Li family had previously presented, the emperor personally named the Li family as imperial merchants.

Li Yuer, the biggest boss of Li Ji, became the well-deserved owner of the Golden Island.

After becoming rich, Li Yuer began to do welfare work, building welfare homes, adopting elderly widows and homeless children, and establishing workshops all over the country, giving priority to recruiting veterans and their families, as well as poor households in need of help. She also established a number of girls' schools to teach them handicrafts so that women could also earn money to support their families, greatly improving women's social and family status.

He made outstanding contributions to the development of the Cangyuan Dynasty. As the Cangyuan Dynasty became increasingly prosperous and powerful, the northern barbarians completely surrendered and became part of the Shu Kingdom, which paid tribute regularly every year.

Li Yuer also opened up a north-south trade route, exchanging goods from the eastern coastal areas for cattle, sheep and furs from the northern ethnic groups, and the like. This exchange of goods allowed the two originally hostile countries to gradually move towards truly friendly development.
