“By the way, has your family changed chefs? These dumplings are really well-made!” Luo Han asked as he ate.

Li Xiaoran thought of something and called the servant over.

“Who made the dumplings in the kitchen today?”

An old woman replied, “The filling was made by Qiu Fen. All of us wrapped them together!”

Speaking of Qiu Fen, Li Xiaoran immediately thought of the young woman who told her about her background yesterday.

“Husband, do you know anything about Qiu Fen?” Li Xiaoran put down her chopsticks and asked.

“I know. What she told you yesterday is true! Speaking of which, she has had a hard life, so Uncle He bought her!” Luo Cheng nodded and replied as he ate.

“In that case, Qiu Fen is someone who can be placed in an important position. A woman who dares to fight against fate is really admirable. Husband, let Qiu Fen manage the kitchen in the future! Of course, let her practice her culinary skills too! To be able to make such delicious meat filling, I believe her culinary skills are not bad!” Li Xiaoran said thoughtfully.

“Since you want to use Qiu Fen, use her! If she’s really a capable person, she’ll naturally seize this opportunity. If she’s incompetent, we can replace her after some time!” Luo Cheng said.

Just like that, Qiu Fen became the female steward in charge of the kitchen.

After Qiu Fen received this news, her eyes lit up and she kowtowed three times towards the main courtyard where Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng were.

“I will definitely repay you for your kindness! There definitely won’t be any mistakes in the kitchen like before!”

The person who came to pa.s.s the message was Uncle He. From Qiu Fen’s actions and what she said, He Houfa realized that he had really misjudged her in the past.

She was clearly a talent, but she was buried in the crowd.

Fortunately, Madam was a discerning person and noticed Qiu Fen at a glance.

Qiu Fen didn’t disappoint. Qiu Fen immediately reorganized the kitchen staff and made some adjustments to the manpower. Then, she brought the people in the kitchen to tidy up the kitchen, the ingredients rack, and the storage room inside.

The kitchen looked much more tidy and pleasing afterwards.

The cooking place was in a separate area from where the vegetables were cut, while the ingredients were washed in a pool outside.

In addition, Qiu Fen and a few servants in the kitchen learned how to cook new dishes together.

No matter what ingredient it was, anyone could try it.

Whoever cooked the best would cook for their masters.

If their masters enjoyed the food, their monthly salary might increase.

Just like that, under Qiu Fen’s guidance, the entire kitchen looked brand new. Although the dishes were all home-cooked, they tasted good.

With tasty food every day, the guards in the house patrolled much more energetically.

Of course, that was for later.

After Luo Cheng and Luo Han had breakfast, they went to the study together.

Seeing that the two of them were already very tired, Li Xiaoran forcefully stopped them.

“I don’t care how many things you haven’t resolved yet, and I don’t care what important matter you want to discuss. Go back to your room and lie in bed for an hour before coming back to work! It’s useless to pressure yourself, so you might as well sleep. There might be unexpected surprises awaiting you after you wake up!”

Seeing Li Xiaoran’s unhappy expression, Luo Cheng finally smiled and nodded. Then, he and Luo Han returned to their rooms to rest.

Just like how Luo Han had left a room for Luo Cheng after buying the house previously, Luo Cheng also left a room for Luo Han after buying the house.

Therefore, Luo Han didn’t stand on ceremony with Luo Cheng and slept in his room.

An hour later, Li Xiaoran asked Changsheng to call Luo Cheng and Luo Han.

At the same time, Li Xiaoran went to the kitchen to make desserts for Luo Cheng and Luo Han.

When she saw Qiu Fen, Li Xiaoran suddenly thought of something and said,

“Qiu Fen, when you’re free, go and get all the elms on the tree in the courtyard!

When the time comes, I’ll teach you how to make some delicious food!”

Although Qiu Fen didn’t understand what Li Xiaoran wanted to do, when she heard that Li Xiaoran wanted elms, Qiu Fen immediately made the arrangements.

“Don’t worry, Madam. We’ll go get the elms now!”

Li Xiaoran nodded and left with some fruits.

Originally, Li Xiaoran wanted to make lemon mint milk tea to drink, but unfortunately, there was no milk in the kitchen.

Li Xiaoran had no choice but to settle for the next best thing. She prepared to boil some fruit tea for Luo Cheng and Luo Han.

When Luo Cheng and Luo Han woke up, they saw that Li Xiaoran had already prepared a pot of tea and was waiting for them in the study.

Luo Cheng was baffled that the teapot wasn’t the one he often used, but a brand new one.

“Wife, what are you doing?”

“I made you guys a pot of fruit tea. Drink it!”

With that. Li Xiaoran poured two bowls of fruit tea.

Because it was brewed with fruits, it had the color and aroma of fruits.

Without hesitation, Luo Cheng picked up the tea bowl and drank it.

Luo Cheng was impressed by the taste.

The refres.h.i.+ng fruity aroma was coupled with the sweet fragrance of chrysanthemums.

This tea was very suitable for people like them, who stayed up late.

Luo Han also picked up a bowl and drank.

“This fruit tea tastes so refres.h.i.+ng. It’s not as sweet as I thought! Speaking of which, it’s not bad for those who aren’t used to strong tea to drink this fruit tea!” Luo Han thought of something and said, “Sister-in-law, I wonder if you have the formula for this fruit tea. Why don’t you sell it to me?! I’ll sell it in my teahouse!”

“It’s just a fruit tea formula. You don’t have to pay me. I’ll just give it to you!” Li Xiaoran said with a smile.

“That won’t do. Even biological brothers have to settle accounts clearly. Besides, if I use it in our teahouse, my entire family will benefit from it. I won’t be the only one!” Luo Han quickly waved his hand and said.

“Listen to Luo Han! We have to accept the money we deserve!” Luo Cheng said.

“Alright, then see for yourself what price is suitable and let me save more money!” Li Xiaoran said jokingly.

“Since it’s your private savings, I can’t be too stingy! I’ll give you a thousand taels of silver!” Luo Han said.

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she was shocked.

“A thousand taels of silver? Aren’t you afraid that your ancestor won’t be able to hold on anymore and get up in the middle of the night to teach you a lesson?”
