Everyone started discussing things overseas.
The eldest brother, Li Ruizhang, said excitedly, "I heard from a wealthy merchant in Mingzhou that people overseas have yellow hair, and some even have red hair."
"His eyes are blue, and his skin is very white, as white as snow."
“My uncle said he had met a black person, so black that you couldn’t even see their eyes.” Li Ruiqi also told him about the strange stories she had heard from Huo Shan.
[The "overseas" in this book must be the foreign countries we're talking about! That's really interesting.]
When I grow up, I want to go too.
I haven't really looked at a map properly yet, I need to look at it sometime!
If the map is similar to the one from the previous life, then we should consider taking over the Great Liang Kingdom. Then we can travel to Europe by land.
[We need to make sure the brothers earn more money, otherwise we won't be able to afford the expenses on the road.]
As the Lunar New Year approaches, fewer people are coming to Fan Zu'an's Jishetang clinic for treatment.
Several workshops also closed for the holiday.
Since he started tinkering with women's skincare products with Li Xingran, Fan Zuan's pockets have been getting fuller every day.
When Fan Zu'an heard Li Ruizhang and the others talking about overseas, he also became interested.
"At that time, I will also go overseas with Huo Shan to see if it is the same as the places I have been before."
"Let me tell you, I speak foreign languages very well, and I can be your translator in the future."
I can also be a translator; I speak six languages!
Li Ruizhang dropped his chopsticks on the table, then realized he had lost his composure and quickly apologized, saying he had misunderstood something.
What Li Ruiheng and Li Ruijin were thinking was: Which six languages does their sister speak? The Great Yue Kingdom, the Great Liang Kingdom, and the Southern Chen Kingdom?
Xiao Sheng knew that there were other countries outside of the Cangxuan Continent because he had read the introduction to the regions outside the Cangxuan Continent in the Scripture Pavilion.
But Li Xingran said she speaks six languages, which was quite impressive.
[English, French, German, Russian, Japanese, French, Spanish.]
【Li Xingran, grow up quickly! Then you can travel the world.】
Li Xingran rubbed her hands together, eager to try.
"Big brother, second sister, there are many customs and traditions overseas that are different from those on our Cangxuan Continent. Let's go and experience them together."
"For example, in some countries, bread is the staple food, and rice is almost never eaten."
"Third brother, what does bread look like?" Li Ting asked, puzzled.
Oh, right, we could add Western-style pastries to my second and third brothers' restaurants; that would be another selling point.
[While I was at home during the pandemic, I practiced Western-style pastries diligently for a long time.]
[We're rich! We're rich! Second brother, third brother, you have to give me some of the profits!]
After dinner, let's go to the kitchen and make a cake! I guarantee you'll all love it.
While Fan Zu'an was explaining bread, Li Xingran was already developing a marketing plan for Western-style pastries.
When Li Ruiheng and Li Ruijin heard their sister say that there were new toys, they said they were full.
She even gave Li Xingran a wink.
Li Xingran also made an excuse that she was full.
Li Ruiheng picked up Li Xingran and ran towards the kitchen.
"Second brother, slow down. It's so cold. Don't run too fast, or you'll fall."
Li Ruijin called out from behind, "Second brother, be careful, don't let your little sister fall, or we won't be able to get the recipe."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Sheng also wanted to follow them to the kitchen.
However, he was also afraid of being exposed, and that Li Xingran would stop whispering in front of him in the future. Wouldn't that mean he would lose a lot of fun and his ability to foresee the future?
Xiao Sheng could only pretend not to know and asked, "Second Brother, Third Brother, where are you going?"
"You'll see when you come along," Li Ruiheng's voice faded into the distance.
Xiao Sheng, being quick-witted, immediately said he was full and wanted to go and take a look.
Li Ruiqi and Li Ruiyue couldn't stay still any longer.
Fortunately, the Li family's kitchen was big enough, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to accommodate so many people.
When Xiao Sheng arrived, he heard Li Xingran's soft, sweet voice instructing Li Ruiheng and Li Ruijin to get things.
"Let's make a smaller one first, and if it's successful, we'll make a bigger one to share with our family."
Shirley followed behind, steadily protecting Li Xingran.
Since coming to the Li family, Shirley has been incredibly kind to Li Xingran.
Li Xingran was especially fond of Xue Li; whenever she got something new and interesting, Xue Li would always get a share.
Li Xingran is trying to make amends. In their previous life, the two of them were burned alive, and in this life, she absolutely cannot let such a thing happen again.
Li Xingran even gave Xue Li a 10% cut in the small workshop she co-founded with Fan Zuan.
When Sherry found out, she was initially hesitant to accept it.
After Li Xingran got angry, she accepted the contract.
When it's time to distribute the monthly dividends, Fan Zuan brings the money over, and Li Xingran allocates 10% to Xue Li.
Now, Shirley is the wealthiest first-class maid in the Li family.
Li Xingran then instructed her two older brothers to prepare eggs, sugar, and flour.
Then teach them to separate egg whites, add sugar to the egg whites and then whip them.
When Li Ruiheng saw that the egg whites could be whipped into a foamy state, he exclaimed in surprise.
"Sister, sister, this is amazing! I never knew egg whites could be prepared like this."
"Egg whites can be whipped, but it's hard on your hands; you have to keep stirring vigorously."
"Third brother, stir the egg yolks well too."
Several people were busy in the kitchen, and Sherry joined in, helping to pass things around.
After mixing, Li Xingran asked Xue Li to grease the bowl, fill it with the cake, and place it in the steamer.
It was served 15 minutes later.
Xiao Sheng watched this amazing scene from the side.
