Xue Sifu laughed, “This way, we can actually sell it in town if we don’t add a lot of flour. It’s better to try to get cheaper rice flour. We’re not from the North, flour is expensive here.”

“That’s true.” Xue Erfu agreed.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were eating, so they didn’t say anything. They just ate their fried rice noodles in their small bowls.

Xue Sifu took another big bite, then turned to Xue Yan and smiled, “Xue Yan, you have to help me write a banner. When I sell rice noodles, I’ll name the shop Xue’s Rice Noodles. I looked around and saw many people naming their shops with their surnames. The rice noodles really are like threads. In the future, this would be called rice noodles! It was also because I happened to hear you talking to Jiang Yue just now. You seemed to be talking about something about rice and thread, so I thought about it and decided to name it rice noodles.”

Jiang Yue knew that a signboard was a signature name needed for a shop. Normally, a proper shop would hang a plaque on the door, but if it was a stall in town, there was no need to do this. They only needed to get a piece of cloth, write the name of the shop on it, and hang it on the stall. It was similar to hanging a flag, and people who could read would know the name of the shop.

“Yes.” Xue Yan agreed to write a notice. “Have you thought about what type of rice noodles to sell?”

Xue Sifu said, “I’ve thought about it carefully. Making fried rice noodles is simple and cheap, so I’ll definitely sell something like this. I’ll have to think about other things like mutton rice noodles and beef rice noodles. Yesterday, when I was looking at those noodle stalls in town, I found that every noodle stall on the street sold the cheapest noodles. Doesn’t this mean that the people who eat at these stalls are reluctant to eat the expensive ones? If I were to really sell rice noodles, I think I should only sell the cheaper ones at the beginning. Beef is too expensive, so that would have to be on hold. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and I’m afraid that I won’t be able to sell all of them and they’ll go bad.”

Just from Xue Sifu’s words, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan could confirm that Sifu was really good at doing business.

Xue Erfu felt that Sifu’s words were very reasonable and agreed with him, “Then you should first sell something that doesn’t cost that much. For example, vegetable rice noodles, pork rice noodles, and so on. If the cost isn’t that high, then a bowl of rice noodles like this won’t be that expensive. It’ll be much easier to sell this to those who can’t afford much. The rich people won’t come to small stalls to eat anyway. They all go to Lakshimi Restaurant.”

Xue Sifu laughed, “That’s exactly what I’m thinking. Let’s go with this first. When this business really starts up, we’ll slowly add more dishes in the future.” After he finished talking to Erfu, he turned to his mother and said, “Mother, do you have any cloth? I need a piece of cloth to make a banner.”

Liu Guixia smiled. “Is gray cloth okay? I still have a few pieces of coarse gray cloth at home. If it’s okay, I’ll cut a piece and sew the edges to make it look like a banner. Then, Xue Yan can write big words on it.

“Alright,” he said. Xue Sifu laughed. “But make sure to cut it at the right size.”

“It’s not like I haven’t been to town before. Does it look like I don’t know what they look like?” Liu Guixia smiled. “Don’t worry.”

After the meal, Liu Guixia handed the dishes to Li Hehua to wash. She went to cut the cloth and made it into the shape of a banner. The edges were also tightly sewn.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were watching from the side.

Xue Sifu also stood to the side and watched.

Xue Wufu jumped over like a monkey and hugged Sifu’s neck from behind. He hung on his back and chuckled. “Sifu, I’ll be waiting for you to join us when you’re done.”
