After the separation, I took my whole family to eat delicious food and drink spicy

The next morning, Li Xiaoxiao woke up early. She didn't have the habit of staying in bed, so she quickly got up, dressed and went out.

As soon as she walked out of the room, she ran into Mrs. Bai who had just woken up. "Xiaoxiao, why don't you sleep a little longer? It's still early." Mrs. Bai said distressedly.

"Mom, I've rested well. Let my younger brother and sister sleep a little longer. Let's go collect the crayfish from the river first." After Li Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she took the bamboo basket and bucket beside the kitchen and walked out. Bai Shi also hurriedly followed.

Arriving at the river, Li Xiaoxiao skillfully collected the traps she had placed last night one by one. Looking at the traps full of crayfish, she smiled happily.

Mrs. Bai was helping to put the crayfish into the bucket. "Xiaoxiao, today's harvest is good. I'll give Xiang Man Lou 35 kilograms and there will probably be more."

Li Xiaoxiao nodded, "Yes, Mom, maybe some of them escaped from our shrimp farm! We'll release the rest directly into the shrimp farm later."

As Li Xiaoxiao spoke, she placed the empty traps in another patch of grass. Once all the traps were in place, she picked up the bucket and Bai picked up the bamboo basket, and they went home.

On the way back, I ran into Aunt Chen who was coming back from washing clothes by the river. "Cui Niang, Xiao Xiao, why are you here so early?"

"Good morning, Auntie Chen. We went to collect some crayfish and are now preparing to go home." Li Xiaoxiao replied with a smile.

"Wow, the harvest is good. Xiaoxiao is really capable." Aunt Chen praised.

"Thank you, Auntie." Li Xiaoxiao smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Why are you here to wash clothes so early?" Mrs. Bai asked Aunt Chen with a smile.

"Aren't you thinking about going to the market today? Wash the clothes early so you can go to town earlier." Aunt Chen replied to Bai.

"Oh, Mom. I forgot that today is the market. Fortunately, we are going to the town today. If we find anything suitable, we can buy it back." Li Xiaoxiao said, slapping his forehead.

"You kid, just talk. Why are you hitting me on the head? Don't hurt it." Bai Xiaoxiao scolded.

"I know, Mom." Li Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue.

The three of them walked and talked, and soon they reached a fork in the road. "Auntie, we'll be leaving first." Li Xiaoxiao and Bai said goodbye to Auntie Chen and quickened their pace towards home.

After arriving home, Li Xiaoxiao poured out the crayfish and sorted them. Then he put the crayfish he was going to sell in town into a bucket and covered it with a lid.

"Mom, I'll go wake Fang'er and Lin'er up first, and then go to the vegetable garden to pick some peppers and take them to town to sell." Li Xiaoxiao put down the bucket and said.

"Okay, go ahead and I'll carry these crayfish to the yard." Bai replied.

Li Xiaoxiao walked into Bai's room and gently nudged Li Fang and Li Linlin, who were still sleeping. "Fang'er, Lin'er, get up. We are going to town."

Li Linlin's reluctant voice came from the room. Li Fang opened Xin Song's sleepy eyes and rubbed them, "I know, sister."

Seeing that the two were ready to get up and get dressed, Li Xiaoxiao ignored them and turned and left the room.

After putting the crayfish away, Bai went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Li Xiaoxiao took a bamboo basket and went to the vegetable garden in the backyard to pick some peppers to send to Xiangmanlou.

Li Xiaoxiao walked into the vegetable garden and was delighted to see the lush green vegetables. She carefully selected some fresh green and red peppers and soon filled a basket.

When I returned to the house, Mrs. Bai had already prepared breakfast.

After the family finished their meal, Li Xiaoxiao carried the crayfish in one hand and held Li Linlin's hand in the other. Bai carried a basket of chili peppers and held Li Fang's hand. The family walked towards the village entrance.

Along the way, they chatted and laughed. When they reached the village entrance, Bai took out four coins and gave them to the driver, Uncle Lin. They found an empty seat on the oxcart and sat down. Seeing that the oxcart was full, Uncle Lin whipped the oxcart and drove it slowly towards the town.

Along the way, Li Xiaoxiao listened to the women on the ox cart chatting about family matters, and found it quite interesting.

"Hey, have you heard? Li Baoer from Old Li's family said that she is engaged, and the couple is from a wealthy family in the next village! I heard that the man's family has more than 20 acres of land." One of the women said.

"Really? That would be a wonderful marriage."

"That's right, Li Baoer is a beautiful girl, and that man is really lucky."

Everyone was talking at once, and Li Xiaoxiao couldn't help but interrupt, "What's that guy's name?"

"It seems his name is Zhang Yuxuan." One of the women answered.

"Zhang Yuxuan..." Li Xiaoxiao whispered the name, and couldn't help feeling curious about what kind of person this was.

The ox cart moved slowly and finally arrived at the town after an hour.

Li Xiaoxiao and the others jumped off the ox cart and headed straight for Xiangmanlou.

Arriving at Xiangmanlou, Li Xiaoxiao asked the three Bai family members to wait by the side while she handed the crayfish to the waiter. Li Xiaoxiao often delivered crayfish to Xiangmanlou, so everyone there knew her. The crayfish were now in their breeding season, so she had agreed with Shopkeeper Zhao to deliver them every other day.

After the waiter gave Li Xiaoxiao the money, Li Xiaoxiao handed it to Bai Shi beside him. "Brother Xiaoer, is your shopkeeper Zhao here? I have something to ask him." Li Xiaoxiao said to the waiter who was weighing the crayfish for him.

"Miss, are you looking for our boss? He went out for something and will probably be back soon. Miss, please sit down and wait." After the waiter said this, he asked Li Xiaoxiao to sit on a stool nearby and wait.

The waiter went to work. After waiting for a while, the figure of Shopkeeper Zhao appeared at the door of Xiangmanlou. The waiter hurried to greet him, "Shopkeeper, Miss Li is here. She said she wants to see you."

Hearing that Li Xiaoxiao wanted to see him about something, Shopkeeper Zhao walked quickly into Xiangmanlou. Seeing Li Xiaoxiao sitting on the side, Shopkeeper Zhao walked straight up to Li Xiaoxiao and asked, "Miss Li, what do you want to see me about?"

Li Xiaoxiao stood up and smiled slightly, "Shopkeeper Zhao, I want to discuss a cooperation with you. I wonder if it's convenient for you?"

Upon hearing that there was a cooperation to be discussed, Manager Zhao hurriedly took Li Xiaoxiao to the accounting office of Xiangmanlou. Manager Zhao signaled the waiter to serve Li Xiaoxiao a cup of tea, asked Li Xiaoxiao to sit down, and waited for Li Xiaoxiao to speak.

"Shopkeeper Zhao, I have two recipes here, one for pickled fish and one for chopped pepper fish head. If you're interested, we can talk."

"I wonder what these two Miss Fangzi are planning?" Shopkeeper Zhao looked at Li Xiaoxiao with a smile.

Li Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and said, "I hope to cooperate with your store. I will provide the recipe, and you will be responsible for making and selling it. We will split the profits 30% to 70%."

After hearing what Li Xiaoxiao said, Shopkeeper Zhao hissed, "Miss Li, do you know what a 370% profit split means? Xiang Man Lou has more than 20 branches across the country, not just this one in our town. If Miss Li wants a 370% profit split, I'm sorry, Zhao can't agree."

"This..." Li Xiaoxiao really didn't expect that Xiangmanlou had so many branches. It seemed that she had asked for too much.

Shopkeeper Zhao pondered for a moment. "These two recipes are indeed very attractive, but isn't a 70% profit share a bit too high? After all, we're providing the ingredients and labor. How about I give you 10% of the profit?"

Li Xiaoxiao thought about it for a while and felt that it was acceptable. After all, Xiangmanlou had so many branches across the country, and the amount sold every day was astonishing.

So she nodded, "That's settled then! I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."

The two parties reached a consensus. Manager Zhao personally drafted the contract document, and both of them put their fingerprints on it. Manager Zhao gave a copy of the contract document to Li Xiaoxiao, and agreed that the profits would be settled every three months.
