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

In this way, another week passed, and the chopped peppers at home were ready. In the past few days, Li Xiaoxiao continued to make some small jars. Now the peppers grow fast, and the villagers will send some peppers from time to time. Li Xiaoxiao collected them all as she promised the villagers before. She made them into chopped peppers while collecting them. The jars that were ordered before are now full.

Li Xiaoxiao contacted the shopkeeper Zhao and asked someone to come and take the chopped peppers away. Li Xiaoxiao sold this batch of chopped peppers for more than three taels of silver. Later, she went to Zhangjia Village to order a batch of jars, preparing to continue making chopped peppers.

After delivering the chopped peppers to the town, Shopkeeper Zhao tasted them and found them to be just as delicious as before. He called his men over and had them take a large jar of chopped peppers to Xiangmanlou in the capital, so that his master could also taste the chopped peppers made by Miss Li. He also had his men take a letter to Yun Che.

The subordinate took the letter from Manager Zhao, drove the carriage out of the town, and rushed to the official road. After a day and a half, he finally delivered the chopped pepper to Xiangmanlou in the capital. After meeting the manager of Xiangmanlou and explaining his purpose, he put the chopped pepper down, then drove the carriage to Yun Mansion and handed the letter to Yun Che.

Yun Che let the people go down to rest first. He opened the envelope and read the contents carefully.

He developed a strong interest in Li Xiaoxiao's chopped peppers and decided to go to Xiang Man Lou to try them himself. The next morning, Yun Che brought a few friends to Xiang Man Lou and asked the owner to use the jar of chopped peppers that had been delivered yesterday to make a dish of chopped pepper fish head for him to try.

After a while, the shopkeeper came out with the chopped pepper fish head. Yun Che and the others tasted it and praised it highly.

"This chopped pepper is so delicious!" said one of my good friends, Ye Xiuyuan.

"Indeed, it's more delicious than any chopped pepper I've ever eaten before." Another good friend Ouyang Mu agreed.

Yun Che was secretly delighted. He felt that Li Xiaoxiao was truly a treasure who could surprise him at any time.

“Brother Yun Che, I wonder who made this chopped pepper. I’m curious and want to meet that person.” Ouyang Mu said while eating the chopped pepper fish head.

Yun Che smiled and said, "This chopped pepper is made by a girl named Li Xiaoxiao. Our Xiangmanlou's chopped pepper fish head and pickled fish are also made by her."

"Oh? It seems that this Miss Li is really an extraordinary woman, who can actually make so many delicious dishes. Brother Yun Che, I wonder if we can meet this Miss Li?" Ye Xiuyuan asked.

"Yes, yes, Yun Che, we are curious about how you know such a remarkable woman. She is much more interesting than the noble ladies in the capital." Ouyang Mu continued.

Yun Che smiled faintly, "I have some connection with this Miss Li. I'll introduce you to each other another day." He thought to himself that the next time he returned to the town, he would definitely go meet Li Xiaoxiao.

A few days later, Yun Che finished his business in the capital and rushed back to town. He brought Ye Xiuyuan, Ouyang Mu, and Shopkeeper Zhao to Li Xiaoxiao's house and happened to see her busy in the yard. In the sunlight, she was like a blooming flower, beautiful and charming.

“Miss Li, how are you?” Yun Che called softly.

Li Xiaoxiao raised her head and saw Yun Che, a delighted smile on her face. "Young Master Yun, why are you here?"

"I'm here this time, firstly to thank you for your chopped peppers, and secondly, to discuss cooperation with you. I also brought two good friends to meet you. They both love your chopped peppers, pickled fish, and chopped pepper fish head," Yun Che said with a smile. Shopkeeper Zhao quickly handed the gift he was holding to Li Xiaoxiao.

Li Xiaoxiao took it with a smile and led the others into the yard. She shouted, "Mom, please come out quickly. There are guests at home."

Ye Xiuyuan and Ouyang Mu, who were standing by, were startled when they saw Li Xiaoxiao shouting so loudly. This Miss Li really looked different from the noble ladies in the capital. She spoke so loudly and fiercely, unlike those ladies who spoke softly. It was quite interesting to listen to her.

Upon hearing the noise, Li's mother came out of the house and greeted Yun Che and the others warmly. After exchanging pleasantries, Yun Che explained his purpose: he wanted to establish a long-term partnership with Li Xiaoxiao and have her provide more special delicacies.

After hearing Yun Che's words, Li Xiaoxiao said happily, "Really? That's great! Why don't you all stay at my humble abode for lunch? The food might be a little simple, so please don't mind."

Ye Xiuyuan and Ouyang Mu quickly waved their hands and said, "Miss Li, you're joking. We both love delicious food. We heard about Miss Li's amazing cooking skills back when we were in Beijing. We've always wanted to meet her, and today we finally get to meet her in person."

After listening to what several people said, Li Xiaoxiao smiled happily. She warmly invited everyone into the house to sit down, and took out the pastries she had just made to entertain the guests.

As the group chatted, Shopkeeper Zhao expressed his thoughts. "Miss Li, we plan to buy a large quantity of chili peppers directly from the market, and then give them to you to make into chopped chili peppers and sell to us. We'll still keep the same price of five cents per pound. What do you think, Miss Li?"

"Shopkeeper Zhao, excuse me for asking, but why do you need so many chopped peppers?" Li Xiaoxiao asked curiously.

"Ms. Li, you also know that we have more than 20 Xiangmanlou stores across the country. Diners who have tried your chopped peppers before thought it tasted very good. We thought that since the diners responded well, we would use all your chopped peppers to make chopped pepper fish head. The quantity is very large, and the current supply alone is definitely not enough, so I discussed with the boss and we will provide the peppers, and you just need to make them into chopped peppers." Shopkeeper Li explained.

Li Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

"I think I can give it a try, but I need more help."

Shopkeeper Zhao quickly responded, "That's no problem. We'll take care of the staffing."

"Master Yun, Shopkeeper Zhao, how about this? I can find someone in the village to make the chopped peppers. This will also be a good thing for the village."

“No problem, Miss Li can make her own arrangements.” Yun Che agreed.

Subsequently, the two sides discussed the specific details of the cooperation.

Yun Che looked at the clever Li Xiaoxiao in front of him, and his admiration for her grew.

He secretly made up his mind to help her make her career bigger and stronger.
