Chapter 827: Starting Over

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Everything went smoothly on the first day of work.

All the procedures were carried out in an orderly manner. Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng stayed in the workshop and waited.

After the first batch of roasted duck came out, Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng asked someone to bring one over. Then, they tasted it.

This time, the roasted ducks were bought from a family in another village.

It had to be said that this duck was fatter than the ducks raised by He Hui.

This could be seen from the amount of oil under the oven.

After cutting a few pieces of roasted duck skin and some meat, Li Xiaoran and

Luo Cheng each tasted a piece.

The duck’s outer skin was crispy, but the meat inside was watery.

Compared to He Hui’s ducks, they tasted slightly worse.

The ducks raised by He Hui tasted delicious. Although this duck had been marinated, the taste was inferior!

After that, the second, third, and fourth batches of roasted duck came out. Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng tasted them.

They were a total of five families. Three families’ ducks tasted good, and two families’ ducks tasted slightly worse.

After Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran discussed it, they decided not to buy ducks from these two families in the future.

It was just that the food made by their ducks didn’t taste as good as other people’s ducks, so Luo Cheng asked the other two families to adjust their method of raising them. If the ducks raised later on met the workshop’s requirements, they could also buy their ducks.

This way, the people from the other two families didn’t completely lose hope. As long as they wanted to cooperate with the workshop, they would think of a way to change the feeding method of their ducks.

It couldn’t be helped. That was how the market economy was.

The workshop relied on making roasted duck to earn money, so there was naturally a requirement for the quality of the ducks.

If people who raised ducks wanted to sell their ducks to earn money, they had to work hard to improve the quality of their ducks.

After eating the roasted duck, Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng went to try the braised dishes.

It had to be said that with Li Xiaoran’s braised water and the cleanliness of the ingredients, the braised dishes tasted very good.

With a wave of Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng’s hand, the first batch of roasted duck and braised dishes that met the requirements were sent to the roasted duck braised dishes shop on the food street.

As soon as they saw a new shop open, the customers were attracted by the delicious smell.

However, not long after the shop opened, the food inside was sold out.

Fortunately, the second batch of roasted duck and braised dishes was also sent over, allowing those who wanted to try the roasted duck and braised dishes to buy them.

The third and fourth batches of roasted duck were also sent to town.

It was sold out in about four hours.

After that, the fifth and sixth batch of roasted duck and braised dishes were sent from the workshop to the food street and town.

Then, everyone in the workshop was about to start cleaning up and get off work.

Because there were still five days left until the end of the month, Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng planned to pay the workers a day’s salary every day for these five days.

However, when they worked next month, they would have to wait until the last day of the month to get paid.

In addition to the salary, Li Xiaoran also took out the roasted duck. Everyone took a piece and tasted it.

It was the same for the braised dishes. They left some in the workshop and gave everyone who worked a piece to try.

After everyone tasted the roasted duck and braised dishes, they were stunned by the delicious taste.

This time, the workers were even more confident in the future of this workshop.

With such delicious food, their workshop’s business would definitely get better and better.

Therefore, when they came the next day, everyone was working hard. They were afraid that if they were not dilligent, they would lose their jobs and lose such a good way to earn money.

With something to do, there was hope. There were also fewer trivialities in the village.

Since families got along more harmoniously, the atmosphere in the village also improved.

Many people who were lazy in the past had also become more diligent.

The loafers in the village began to wonder if they should find something to do!

On this day, Li Xiaoran found Yuan Cheng and called him aside.

“Yuan Cheng! In the past, you always said that you wanted to rely on selling buns and spring rolls to earn money to raise your family. Now, there’s a very good opportunity. Do you want to give it a try? As you know, we built a workshop at the border of the three villages. There are many people working there every day. If you want to do business yourself, you can sell buns and spring rolls at the shop at the entrance of the workshop. You just need to pay some rent to the workshop every day. Then, you can do business yourself!”

When Yuan Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, his first reaction was to ask,

“Madam, if I leave, what will happen to the shop on the official road?”

Li Xiaoran explained, “The shop here is very easy to handle. If you can handle both, just let the attendant sell the food! Of course, I’ll still give you a salary! If you can’t handle it, focus on the business over there. You’ll be responsible for your own profits and losses. I’ll also find someone to make steamed buns and spring rolls for the shop. Don’t worry, the people at the shop won’t affect your business at the workshop!”

Luo Cheng thought for a moment and finally said, “Madam, I’ll go to the workshop! I’ll do business myself! In the past, you and Brother Luo Cheng brought us to earn money. I can’t keep hiding under your protection. I have to become independent! Just like Mao Dao, I have to walk my own path! I’ll have to trouble you to find someone else to learn how to make buns and spring rolls from me! I’ll teach him before doing business on my own!”

Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, “Alright, teach Kang Zheng how to make them! Although Kang Zheng is handicapped, it won’t affect him from making steamed buns and spring rolls!”

Yuan Cheng thanked Li Xiaoran and went to look for Kang Zheng.

Kang Zheng was also satisfied with this arrangement. Previously, he had been doing odd jobs in the shop. Now that he could learn culinary skills, he was overjoyed.

Although Kang Zheng was a burly man, he was very good at making steamed buns and spring rolls.

Three days later, with the help of Li Xiaoran and the others, Yuan Cheng opened a bun shop at the entrance of the workshop.

When many people in a hurry saw that there was breakfast being sold there, they ran over to buy it.

At first, very few people bought it because everyone came after eating at home.

As time passed, this business slowly started to boom!
