The construction of the food street progressed very quickly. As the layout of the shop was similar to that of the house at the back, it was easy for the construction team to build it!

More and more craftsmen were being led by Chen Xiang to build the house, and the team was getting bigger and bigger.

The largest construction team in White Foothill City was Chen Xiang’s team. After Han Zhenming’s family fell from grace, many enemies dealt with them, so the Han family moved away to start a new life.

Although Chen Xiang was ambitious, he was levelheaded and kind.

Therefore, more and more people were willing to work for him, and the monthly salary was very stable.

As a result, Luo Cheng left the construction of the food street to Chen Xiang.

Because they were in a hurry, Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng asked Chen Xiang and the others to build some shops and houses first. Then, they would continue to build the shops and houses at the back.

Just like that, they built and renovated. Soon, the construction was almost finished.

That night, as Li Xiaoran sat in the courtyard and looked at the starry sky, she recalled what Wu Qinghe had said previously.

In a few months, the situation would change. No one knew how everyone’s fate would change.

However, after Li Xiaoran thought about it, she felt that it was a little funny.

She really didn’t expect that under Wu Qinghe’s influence, she would actually start to worry about national affairs.

Actually, she wasn’t the emperor, so she didn’t have to worry about the people’s livelihood.

No matter how the environment changed, she just had to be herself.

If she had the ability, she would help others. If she didn’t, she would protect the people around her.

In any case, no matter how the situation in this world changed, there would always be a way to survive.

Therefore, rather than worrying over nothing here, it was better to think of a way to plan the food festival and strive to start a lively food street so that the commoners in White Foothill City could benefit!

Although it was just a simple food festival, if they did it well, it would have an extensive impact.

Firstly, they had to have special delicacies. Secondly, they had to attract many customers.

After the customers arrived, they had to consider all aspects.

After sighing, Li Xiaoran decided not to think about these things for the time being. She would go and sleep first. Perhaps after she woke up, she would have an idea.

Early the next morning, Luo Cheng had just returned from practicing martial arts when he heard that Guan Dongshan had come to see him.

Luo Cheng was a little puzzled and wondered why Guan Dongshan was looking for him at this time.

After asking someone to invite Guan Dongshan to the hall to wait, Luo Cheng went to wash his face and changed into dry clothes.

When Li Xiaoran learned that Guan Dongshan was here, she was also very curious. However, she was making breakfast, so she didn’t go.

For some reason, Li Xiaoran really wanted to eat wontons this morning.

As a result, she woke up early in the morning to roll the dough and chop the meat. She planned to make two bowls of wontons.

After the wontons were wrapped, before she could cook it, she saw Luo Cheng coming to the kitchen to look for her.

“Didn’t you say that Uncle Guan had something to tell you? You’re done so quickly?” Li Xiaoran asked curiously.

Luo Cheng explained with a smile, “It’s not a big deal. Didn’t we mention roasted duck previously? Uncle Guan came to ask when we’ll start this business! After all, his ducks will be ready soon. If we want them, he’ll sell them to us first!”

Li Xiaoran immediately recalled this.

She kept forgetting things.

How could she have forgotten about her plan to make roasted duck?

“That’s right. If you hadn’t said anything, I would have forgotten about this!” Luo Cheng laughed when he heard Li Xiaoran’s words.

“Stop knocking yourself on the head. If you do, you’ll become a white-haired woman!”

Li Xiaoran looked at the white flour in her hand and immediately smiled. Amidst her excitement just now, she had actually forgotten that she still had white flour in her hand.

“Go wash your hands! We’ll discuss this later!” Luo Cheng said with a smile.

Li Xiaoran nodded and quickly washed her hands. Then, she cleaned the flour in her hair.

Standing by the stove, Luo Cheng placed Li Xiaoran’s wontons in the boiling pot and began to season them!

After Li Xiaoran cleaned up, she came over. When she saw that the stove was ready, she waited for the wontons to be cooked before scooping them into the bowl.

“To be able to eat your wontons, looks like I’m in luck today!” Li Xiaoran teased with a smile.

“Of course. I’m also in luck today, since I can eat wontons personally made by the consort!” Luo Cheng teased with a smile.

As the couple smiled at each other tacitly, they revealed unspoken emotions. Soon, the wontons were cooked and placed in a bowl along with vegetable leaves.

The two of them each carried a bowl of wontons and went to sit under a big tree in the courtyard.

The wontons tasted delicious.

After Li Xiaoran took a bite, she kept eating.

After eating the bowl of wontons, Li Xiaoran gave Luo Cheng a thumbs up. “I really didn’t expect my husband’s wontons to taste so delicious!”

When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he replied with a smile, “I’ve seen you cook it many times. Even if I’m as stupid as a pig, I should have learned it by now!”

Li Xiaoran said, “My husband is much smarter than a pig! In that case, let’s work together in the future! I’ll make them, and you’ll season them. Only by working together can our lives be enjoyable!”

“Sure! I’ll be happy to!” Luo Cheng nodded in agreement.

Soon, Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran finished a bowl of wontons and handed the bowls and chopsticks to the servants to wash. Then, they went straight to the study to discuss serious matters.

“Is it difficult to make roast duck?” This was Luo Cheng’s first question.

Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, “It can be easy or difficult! However, it’s very manpower-intensive! Husband, as you know, ducks have a lot of fur on their bodies, and it takes a lot of manpower to trim them. Secondly, we have to marinate and roast them. Marining and roasting are also very important, but what we really need manpower for is to slaughter them. We have to burn their fur, remove their fur, cut open their stomachs, and take out their intestines. Then, we have to take off the duck feet and wings.”

Luo Cheng recalled what Li Xiaoran had said previously and asked, “Those internal organs have to be washed as well, right?!”

Li Xiaoran said excitedly, “Of course.. The internal organs in the duck’s stomach are all good things, so we naturally can’t waste them! With these internal organs, coupled with the duck neck and duck skull, we can make very delicious food!”
