"Now you can rest assured. Although you won't make a lot of money, you definitely won't be burdened with huge debts like you were in your previous life."

Xu Minghan said confidently, "If I could do it all over again, even though I'm not very smart, I should be able to make a decent living! I can also leave some inheritance for my two daughters, right?"

The next day, Xu Minghan got up at the same time as before. With the experience from the first day, he quickly cooked the rice noodles and rode his tricycle to the factory area with practiced ease.

"Boss, you've finally arrived! Hurry up and give me one."

"Okay, okay, I have everything. I prepared a lot today, so you can buy everything."

"That's perfect. I couldn't buy any yesterday. I haven't had fried rice noodles in ages. I'll go and call some people so they can try some too."

And so, people called out to each other, and soon Xu Minghan was surrounded by a crowd.

Everyone took a serving, and the two buckets of fried rice noodles were sold out in no time.

"Hey boss, are you coming to sell again at noon?"

"Yes, it's really inconvenient for us to walk a long way to eat after get off work. If you still have a lunch break, I'll definitely come and patronize you."

"Haha, me too. But don't make sure the fried noodles are dry, even if you love them, you can't eat them every day."

Xu Minghan smiled and asked, "Do you like the soup noodles and thick rice noodles? If so, I'll order them this afternoon and they can be on the market tomorrow or the day after."

"Sure, let's try something different, we're all fine with that."

Xu Minghan rode his tricycle home first, put down the buckets and other things, and then rode to the nearby market to buy some bowls and chopsticks. He also went to a shop to buy a large coal stove and seven or eight flour sieves.

"Why did you buy such a big coal stove?" Zhang Xuemei came out after hearing the noise and saw Xu Minghan carrying the large coal stove down!

"Phew, it's quite heavy." Xu Minghan originally intended to unload the coal stove from the cart, but then he thought that he would have to move it back up tomorrow, so he simply pushed the cart along with it to the woodshed.

"I'm planning to have another meal tomorrow and the day after at noon. I asked them for their opinions, and noodle soup would be a good choice. We can adjust the flavor of the noodles today. Is it okay to have noodles for lunch? I bought several kinds, let's see which one is suitable."

As he spoke, Xu Minghan showed Zhang Xuemei the several kinds of noodles he was carrying; today, they would also be taste testers.

Zhang Xuemei herself really liked noodles, and back then, she and her husband even researched several different kinds of noodle toppings!

The final result was a flavor that even Panpan praised highly. Every time I go home, I ask them to make it for me in advance, and I eat it as soon as I get home.

"Should we pickle some spicy and sour radish cubes? They're good for stimulating the appetite in the summer." Zhang Xuemei watched her husband chop the side dishes and felt that something was missing.

Xu Minghan slapped his forehead, "I was wondering what was missing! It was radishes. I'll go buy some right now."

Zhang Xuemei looked at the things on the kitchen stove: noodles, bok choy, bean sprouts, dried chili peppers, and various sauces.

"I bought five large radishes and a small jar, so I can pickle a lot. It'll taste good with rice."

"I'll pickle it." Zhang Xuemei reached out to take the radish, but Xu Minghan dodged her hand and explained, "Don't rush, I'll wash it first, then you can sit here and cut it."

Zhang Xuemei smiled, realizing that even after being reborn, she still knew how to be considerate.

The radishes were cut into small cubes and stacked in a large basin. Zhang Xuemei sprinkled some sugar on top to draw out the water, and then continued to prepare the brine for pickling the radishes.

"Oh, right, later you can take out some and put less chili in it for us to eat, and put more chili in the rest. Several people asked me this morning if I had chili oil! I think they can handle a lot of chili."

Xu Minghan turned his head and saw his wife chopping red chilies. He suddenly remembered what happened that morning and thought that he would have to make some chili oil later.

"Speaking of which, it's really strange. Neither of us can eat spicy food very well, but Panpan loves it and eats the spiciest kind."

Whenever Zhang Xuemei talks about eating spicy food, she thinks of her grown-up daughter watching TV at night and slurping up crayfish. She's so spicy that she keeps laughing and saying how satisfying it is. She doesn't know what's so delicious about it.

"When she was in college, her classmates came from all over the country and ate different things. She adopted many of her eating habits. And you know what? Adding a little chili actually makes it taste pretty good."

Xu Minghan carefully simmered the meat sauce until it was almost done, then turned off the heat and poured the sauce into a bowl.

"The meat sauce is ready. We'll try a little of each type of noodle for lunch."

After Xu Minghan finished making the meat sauce, he saw that there was still time, so he started to simmer the chili oil first. This stuff keeps well, so he could make more.

"Alright, I've started soaking the white radishes too. Hey, why did you buy two bottles of water?" Zhang Xuemei noticed two bottles of mineral water lying at the very back of the bag while helping to clean up the stove.

Xu Minghan glanced at it briefly and explained, "Oh, you mean this? Pour out the water later, and use the empty bottle to hold soy sauce and vinegar. Just drill a small hole in the cap and you can squeeze it out."

With this explanation, Zhang Xuemei realized what was going on, since she had seen it quite often on the street before.

Zhang Xuemei sat down in a chair, supporting her back. "I've been staying at home all day long, and I'm going crazy with boredom. I don't even dare to go out."

Xu Minghan knew that being in an unfamiliar place and unable to go out was indeed unbearable, but there was nothing he could do about it.

She could only comfort her, saying, "Xuemei, just bear with it a little longer. It will be fine after the baby is born. We'll take good care of both of you afterward. Make sure you have a proper postpartum period this time, so you don't end up with any health problems."

Speaking of this, Zhang Xuemei had something to say, "That's true, but who will take care of me when I'm in postpartum confinement?"

I'll definitely be staying here for my postpartum confinement this time. My mother-in-law has a lot of things to do back in her hometown, so she definitely can't come.

My own mother is even less available, so thinking about it, my postpartum period might be even more uncertain.

Xu Minghan went through it in his mind, and it seemed that there really wasn't a suitable person.

"It's okay. If it really comes down to it, I'll just quit my stall and stay home to take care of you and the kids."

We can't let Xuemei not have a proper postpartum recovery again. We can earn money again, but we need to make sure she takes good care of her health.

"That won't do. If you quit halfway through, how are we going to pay back the money? Don't forget we still owe a lot of money! We're counting on you to earn some money to pay off our debts!"

Zhang Xuemei firmly disagreed with her husband's statement. They were not well-educated to begin with, and they had finally found a way to make money. How could they give up halfway?

"I do have an idea, but I don't know if it will work?" Zhang Xuemei glanced at her husband; she did have someone in mind.

"Who? Your eldest sister?" Xu Minghan's first thought was his sister-in-law.

Zhang Xuemei rolled her eyes at him, "Have you forgotten that my eldest sister and brother-in-law went to another province to do business a long time ago?"
