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

Another week passed like this, and the chopped peppers made by Li Xiaoxiao were ready to eat.

After breakfast in the morning, she took a small jar that she had washed previously and filled it with chopped peppers. After saying hello to Mrs. Bai, she went to the town and came to Xiangmanlou to find Manager Zhao.

I haven't been here for a while, and the entrance of Xiangmanlou is much busier than before. After listening to Manager Zhao's story, I learned that since Xiangmanlou launched the two special dishes of chopped pepper fish head and pickled fish, there have been a lot more customers than before. Xiangmanlou has become the largest restaurant in town.

"Miss Li, this is all thanks to the prescription you provided us." Shopkeeper Zhao said sincerely.

"Manager Zhao, we have always had a cooperative relationship, mutually beneficial, so there's no need to express gratitude."

"That's right, Miss Li. If you have any good recipes and want to cooperate with us in the future, just come to me."

"Thank you very much, Manager Zhao. By the way, Manager Zhao, I brought some chopped peppers that I made today and wanted to let you try them." Li Xiaoxiao said as she took out a small jar of chopped peppers from the backpack on her back and handed it to Manager Zhao.

When Shopkeeper Zhao opened the lid, a rich aroma of chili peppers filled his nose. He couldn't help but taste a little, and his eyes lit up immediately. He praised it profusely, "Miss Li, these chopped peppers are so delicious! They taste even better than what we make ourselves!"

Li Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "I improved the recipe this time and added some secret ingredients. If you like it, I'll bring you some next time."

Shopkeeper Zhao nodded quickly, mentally mulling over how to discuss further cooperation with Li Xiaoxiao. His eyes swirled, a plan dawned on him, and he said, "Miss Li, your chopped peppers are so good, why not sell them to our restaurant? I promise to give you a good price."

Li Xiaoxiao was waiting for Shopkeeper Zhao to say this. She was delighted and said, "Shopkeeper Zhao, this chopped pepper is the most delicious when made into chopped pepper fish head. You can try it."

Shopkeeper Zhao quickly said, "Miss Li, I was thinking the same thing. Do you still have this chopped pepper at home?"

"Yes, I do, but since it's my first time, I didn't make much. If Xiangmanlou is willing to buy it, I can make more when I go back." Li Xiaoxiao said.

"Miss Li, how about this? I'll give you five cents per pound of chopped peppers. I'll buy you as much as you have in the future. How about that?" Shopkeeper Zhao asked tentatively.

Five coins per pound was about the same price he had expected, so it was acceptable. "Well, Shopkeeper Zhao, I have some at home. If you need it urgently, you can send someone to go with me to get it."

"Okay, okay, I'll send someone to go back with you." Shopkeeper Zhao continued, "To thank you, take this ingot of silver." As he said that, he handed Li Xiaoxiao a heavy ingot of silver.

Li Xiaoxiao quickly declined, saying, "This is what I should do. Manager Zhao is too polite." But Manager Zhao insisted on giving it to her, so Li Xiaoxiao had to accept it.

After bidding farewell to Shopkeeper Zhao, Li Xiaoxiao and the Xiangmanlou staff returned home in a carriage. When she got home, she gave the remaining chopped peppers to the staff.

"Miss Li, this is the payment for the goods plus the money for the jar. Please count it." The clerk handed Li Xiaoxiao one or two taels of silver.

Li Xiaoxiao counted the amount and found it was correct, so she accepted it with a smile. She was very happy, as she didn't expect that the chopped peppers she made could be sold so easily.

At this time, Bai came out of the house and saw this scene.

"Mom, I made money selling chopped peppers." Li Xiaoxiao said happily to Bai.

Mrs. Bai was also very happy. She stroked Li Xiaoxiao's hair and said, "My Xiaoxiao is really capable. But you should pay attention to your health when you make chopped peppers in the future and don't overwork yourself."

"I know, Mom." Li Xiaoxiao nodded.

"By the way, Mom, let's go to Zhangjia Village next door this afternoon." Li Xiaoxiao continued.

"Xiaoxiao, what are we going to Zhangjia Village for?" Bai asked in confusion.

"Mom, Shopkeeper Zhao from Xiang Man Lou wants to buy my chopped peppers. I'm going to the kiln factory in Zhangjia Village next door to order a few large and small jars to keep as backup. Buying directly from the kiln factory would be cheaper, right?"

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll go cook now. We'll go over after dinner. The sooner we go, the sooner we'll be back." After saying that, Bai went into the kitchen to wash rice and cook. Li Xiaoxiao also helped.

Li Fang and Li Linlin came back from outside and saw their mother and sister busy in the kitchen. They scooped some water from the yard, washed their hands, and went to the kitchen to help.

"You two finally came back. Where did you go to play again?" Li Xiaoxiao asked the two people who ran into the kitchen.

"Sister, let's go to the river to play. We found a lot of birds in the reed marsh over there. Let's go catch them when we have time." Li Linlin said excitedly.

After hearing what Li Linlin said, Li Xiaoxiao realized that she hadn't caught any sparrows since she caught them once when she was still living in the old house. She had originally planned to roast them for food, but ended up stewing them in soup. She thought she could catch some more next time she had time. "Okay, when sister is free, we'll go catch some together. I'll make something delicious for you guys."

"Great! Great! I love eating what my sister cooks the most!" Li Linlin said happily, clapping her hands.

Li Xiaoxiao smiled and touched her head.

As Mrs. Bai cooked, she listened to the children's conversation, her smile never stopping. After the meal was ready, Mrs. Bai and Li Xiaoxiao asked Li Fang and Li Linlin to stay at home, and they took some silver and walked to Zhangjia Village.

Fortunately, the two villages are not far apart, otherwise it would be tiring to walk there, Li Xiaoxiao thought.

After walking for more than half an hour, they entered the area of Zhangjia Village. When passing a small hill, Li Xiaoxiao suddenly heard a rustling sound. The two thought there was a snake or something and were frightened.

Li Xiaoxiao unconsciously grasped Bai's arm and whispered, "Mom, let's go quickly. Who knows what might pop out of this mountain."

Bai was also worried that there really was a snake or something. She was about to run with Li Xiaoxiao when a voice reached their ears, "Brother Yuxuan, have you really decided to marry that Li Baoer? You don't want me anymore? Woo woo woo."

Hearing the sound, Li Xiaoxiao and Bai Shi stopped in their tracks. They looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man and woman standing under a tree not far away. The man had his back to them, so they couldn't see his face clearly, while the woman was crying.

"I don't want to either, but my dad..." the man said helplessly.

"I don't care. I don't mind you marrying her. I just want to be with you..." The woman grabbed the man's sleeve tightly.

"Xiangling, don't do this, it's impossible for us to..." The man tried to break free from the woman's hand.

"Why not? You said you would marry me!" The woman persisted.

"Stop talking, Xiangling..." the man interrupted her, "You should just forget about me."

After saying that, the man turned and left, leaving the woman crying alone.

Li Xiaoxiao and Bai Shi exchanged a glance, both feeling a little emotional. Without stopping, they continued walking towards the kiln factory.
