Two portions of ingredients were prepared. Xiaoguo taught each step carefully, and Xu Ruyi learned seriously. They started with the base soup.

After covering the pot, Xiaoguo lit the fire and instructed, "If you want the soup to be good, there is only one word: boil!" Xu Ruyi nodded seriously.

Xiao Guo went on to say, "Generally, the soup base used in a restaurant is kept boiling over a continuous fire, so that the soup base will be thicker."

Next, Xiaoguo taught her how to make starch. "This step is simple, but it requires patience." He patiently taught her step by step, "You need to wash and peel, crush, knead and wash, and then let it settle."

Xu Ruyi followed her carefully, taking every step seriously, and finally the two of them washed out six basins of starch water.

"Okay, just put it aside to settle. The water is turbid now because the starch is floating in the water. It will sink to the bottom of the basin in a while, and then you can pour it out when the water on top becomes clear. Then, dry the starch at the bottom of the basin and grind it into foam, which is the starch." Xiaoguo explained clearly and moved on to the next step.

"The step of making fish balls seems simple but is laborious." Xu Ruyi watched every step of Xiaoguo's movements without blinking, trying to reproduce it 100%.

When Xu Ruyi saw the fish balls she made floating on the water, she was extremely happy and excitedly held Xiaoguo's hand. Xiaoguo was also infected by her and became excited.

After teaching her everything, Xiaoguo was ready to leave. Xu Ruyi wanted to keep her for dinner, but Xiaoguo found out about her situation during the conversation. Even today's ingredients were bought by her pawning the jade pendant she had worn since birth. Xiaoguo couldn't help but feel moved. Xu Ruyi was really a nice girl.

Xu Ruyi looked at Xiaoguo who was going out. After spending half a day with her, she felt that Xiaoguo was really a nice person, patient, careful and gentle, just like the sister she had always wanted. Looking at her getting on the donkey cart, she hesitated and called her, "Uh, can I call you Sister Xiaoguo?" After saying that, she felt embarrassed because she had never made friends with anyone. She was carefree and couldn't stand those pretty girls, so she had few friends since she was a child. But today, after spending half a day with her, she felt that Xiaoguo was extremely warm, an indescribable feeling that made her very comfortable.

Xiaoguo was shocked, but quickly said, "Of course, I hope you will." During the half-day study today, Xiaoguo found that the other person's eyes were always full of sincerity and seriousness, which moved Xiaoguo a little. A woman worked hard to preserve her father's family business, and Xiaoguo admired her tenacious perseverance.

When Xu Ruyi heard her calling her Ruyi, she felt warm all over and her eyes became moist. It had been a long time since she felt such warmth.

After saying goodbye to each other, they agreed that Xiaoguo would come back early tomorrow morning. She must come tomorrow because tomorrow is the market day and also the day when Ruyi Noodle House will be open for trial operation. Xiaoguo's task tomorrow is to attract diners who are waiting to buy Xiaoguo potato noodles to Ruyi Noodle House.

The place is not far away, and people will not feel inconvenient. After all, it is just a corner. Turning a corner from the Xiaoguo stall is the Ruyi Noodle House.

Xiaoguo drove his donkey cart around the town. Although there was no urgent matter today, there were still many shops and stalls open. Zhuangzhuang had never been to the town, so Xiaoguo took him around.

"Son, whatever you want, I'll buy it for you." Xiaoguo said generously. She had brought enough money with her when she went out, and it was too late to go home now. It was almost past noon. Although they were close to Taohua Village, it would take some time to go back, so it would be better for them to buy food outside.

Zhuangzhuang looked around in confusion and pointed at a stall not far ahead, "Mom, what is that?"

Xiao Guo drove over and said to the stall owner, "Give me a string, Sugar Man."

Zhuangzhuang picked out a tiger pattern, took it in his hand and looked at it in amazement, "Mom, this looks just like the real thing."

Xiaoguo took a look and agreed, it was a great painting skill.

He took the candy man and drove the donkey cart along the road, buying whatever vegetables he saw. During the drive, he also bought some snacks for Zhuangzhuang.

Just before the two of them left the stall, a man in front of the mask stall stared at the receding figure... the child just now seemed...
