After Wu Qinghe arrived and heard Luo Cheng ask about the Wu family’s Eight Trigrams Array layout, his expression became serious.
“Brother Luo Cheng, even if you didn’t ask me, I would have told you about the Wu family’s residence. On the surface, the Wu family’s residence is built according to the Taiji Eight Trigrams Array, but in reality, the Wu family’s residence is just a trapping array. Without guidance, it’s very easy to get lost and trapped inside. It’s also why after I entered the Wu family, I couldn’t divine or pry into the secrets of the heavens. Actually, the Wu family’s residence is a large array. After some slight adjustments, it can be transformed into other array formations.”
“As everyone knows, the Eight Trigrams Array has a total of eight gates. The Gate of Opening, Gate of Rest, Gate of Life, Gate of Pain, Gate of Du, Gate of View, Gate of Death, and Gate of Wonder. The eight gates each belong to the five elements. The Wu family has placed the entrance of the ox farm at an important place. For them to spend so much effort to set up the Eight Trigrams
Array at an ox farm, I’m afraid there’s more to the ox farm!”
Upon hearing Wu Qinghe’s words, Luo Cheng fell into deep thought.
Li Xiaoran thought of something and asked, “Why don’t I ask Sister Qiuxiang, Uncle, and Auntie if they know anything about the cow farm?
Luo Cheng said, “We can ask, but don’t get your hopes up. Perhaps the cow farm is also divided into a few parts and Li Qiuxiang’s family only came into contact with the outermost parts!”
“Then let’s ask! There might be additional clues!” Li Xiaoran insisted on asking.
Luo Cheng thought for a moment and said, “Let’s wait a few days! When the Li family is settled, we’ll ask around. There’s no hurry! Let’s go buy cows first! This time, you don’t have to do anything. Tell me the address of the other cow farms. I’ll send someone to buy them and spread the news!”
“Husband, are you also planning to buy cows to raise?” Li Xiaoran asked when she heard Luo Cheng’s plan.
“Milk has many uses and food made with milk tastes delicious. There will be many uses for milk in the future. Since it concerns food, it’s best for us to have control over the source of milk ourselves. Think about it, when your milk tea business becomes popular, what if the other party uses cows to disrupt your business?” Luo Cheng said, “We should delay the sale of milk tea and raise the cows first!”
Li Xiaoran also felt that her husband was right, so she nodded in agreement.
Luo Cheng thought of something and reminded, “It just so happens that the roast duck workshop is about to be completed during this period of time. Soon, the roast duck business will be on the agenda. Xiaoran, you might have to work hard for a while!”
Li Xiaoran had really forgotten about this. When she heard Luo Cheng’s reminder, she laughed.
“Husband, if you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have forgotten about this! Are there enough workers at the workshop now?”
“We have enough manpower. We’re buying ducks now and we’ll start work tomorrow, so you have to come with me tomorrow to take a look and confirm the quality of the roasted duck. The shop on the food street is ready and the attendants have been found. After the roasted duck and those braised dishes are ready, we can open for business!” Luo Cheng told her about the situation at the workshop.
Li Xiaoran thought of something and asked, “Did you buy the ducks from Aunt
Hui?”
“We bought some from Aunt Hui and some from other places. We plan to try them to see if the taste of every duck is the same! When the time comes, we’ll use them separately!” Luo Cheng said, “After all, we have to do business for the long term, so we have to ensure the quality of these ducks!”
Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, “Choose a few families with good-quality ducks. Then, let’s sign a contract to buy ducks from them! Otherwise, when our roast duck business starts, we won’t be able to maintain the supply of ducks!”
“I thought so too! Let’s try them together tomorrow and see whose ducks are better!” Luo Cheng said.
Ll xlaoran naturally didn’t reruse.
As long as it was something related to food, it concerned Li Xiaoran.
The next day, the sun rose over the horizon.
After Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng woke up early for breakfast, they went to the workshop.
A large workshop was built in the originally abandoned place.
Under the sunlight, figures approached the workshop one after another from afar. Then, after pa.s.sing by the people at the door to verify their ident.i.ties, they were led to their job posts.
Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng watched the scene in front of them from afar. The crowd made this relatively deserted place seem lively.
“Husband, suddenly, I feel that what we’re doing is actually very meaningful! Look at those people who came to the workshop with smiles on their faces and antic.i.p.ation for their future lives. From now on, we can give them a stable life. This feeling is really good!” Li Xiaoran marveled.
When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he smiled.
He actually had the same feeling. Looking at the busy people below, he felt that it was good to be alive.
“If everyone lives a fulfilling life and thinks for the sake of the commoners, I believe this world will become a better place!”
Li Xiaoran said, “There will be! Let’s start with us! Someone has to start things in order to have an influence on the others.”
Luo Cheng nodded and grabbed Li Xiaoran’s hand.
“With you by my side, I can go anywhere in the world and do anything!”
When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she turned around and looked at him.
“With you to make me a better version of myself, I can bypa.s.s all the obstacles in the world!”
After everyone entered the workshop, everyone began to work in an orderly manner.
Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng also entered the workshop and began to check how everyone was doing.
Li Xiaoran had been emphasizing the issue of cleanliness and even asked someone to make some masks for everyone.
Both women and men had to wear hats, and women’s hair had to be hidden in hats.
Two hours later, the first batch of ducks had already begun to be marinated, and the internal organs taken out of their stomachs were transported to other workshops to be washed.
Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng smiled in satisfaction when they saw how dilligent everyone was.
“It seems that your method of splitting the work is very brilliant. As long as this workshop operates, business will definitely boom!” Luo Cheng said firmly..
