A small breakfast shop in the street market, supporting the family and making money

There were so many eggs that could not be sold at the beginning, but the Leng family gave them a long-term livelihood, which was considered a favor to them.

Now that the Leng family has collected so many red worms, Grandma Niu is afraid that no one will eat these things and she will have them left over and unable to sell them.

Leng Yan shook her head when she heard this and told her not to worry. At the same time, she ordered more crayfish for tomorrow than today.

"Is it true? Do you really need to use that much?"

After hearing this, Grandma Niu and the other two were all shocked and happy. After confirming it several times, they were still a little slow to react.

According to this acquisition method, they can earn several hundred coins a day.

For ordinary people, it would be great if they could earn a few hundred coins a year in addition to farming.

But nowadays, red worms are a no-cost business. Just by putting in some effort, you can earn so much money. This is something they never dared to imagine before!

"Of course it's true."

Leng Yan nodded, "Grandma, just send it over tomorrow."

After hearing her affirmative answer, Grandma Niu and the other two were happy for a while, and then they responded and left in a daze.

After seeing the three people off, Leng Yan immediately called a few aunts, poured the crayfish into a large wooden basin, and washed them over and over again.

After yesterday, several aunts had mastered the techniques of cleaning crayfish. Leng Yan saw that the aunts were busy in an orderly manner, so she got up and went to the utility room.

There are a lot of things in the utility room, the most eye-catching of which are the rows of jars on the shelves.

There were a lot of things in the jars, including cooking wine made from Leng Yan, rice wine, pickled fruits and sauerkraut, salted duck eggs and the like.

The chicken and duck eggs that we usually get from Grandma Niu and that are not used up in the shop’s cooking are washed and pickled by Leng Yan.

I think after enough fermentation time, the salted duck eggs have been pickled and are just right for making egg yolk crayfish.

After she swiftly moved out a jar of salted duck eggs, her aunt Leng Su helped to take out the egg yolks, and some of the crayfish over there were also cleaned.

Seeing this, Leng Yan immediately prepared the ingredients and started stir-frying in a pan with oil.

She fried the crayfish, stir-fried the egg yolks to make juice, and seasoned and simmered them all in one go.

Leng Xun and Zhang Cuiniang watched the whole process, and Leng Yan explained some key points to them from time to time.

When the first pot of egg yolk crayfish came out of the pot, the rich aroma of egg yolk and the unique fragrance of crayfish after being fried with chili peppers, the flavor filled the room layer by layer, and everyone was drooling at the aroma.

As per the old rule, new dishes were eaten first by the family members themselves. Leng Yan asked Madam Fan, who was in charge of the noodle counter, and Hu Da to quickly knead the dough and roll it out, and cooked a pot of hand-rolled noodles.

After that, blanch some vegetables, serve the hand-rolled noodles in bowls, and then pour the golden and bright red egg yolk and crayfish on them.

Such a bowl of food is so delicious, with chewy noodles, refreshing vegetables, spicy crayfish, and the unique salty and fragrant soft sand of salted egg yolk. It tastes so good.

Everyone ate voraciously, and when the lunch break came, the diners saw the pots of crayfish and talked a lot, none of them knowing where to start.

"Aren't these red worms? How come there are so many of them?"

"Could it be that the new food today is this red worm? I remember that this thing smelled very fishy and was not tasty at all."

"Yes, yes, the shell of this insect is very hard. Normally, it can only be fed to chickens and ducks. Not many people eat it."

"Indeed, can these insects be eaten? I have never seen anyone spend money to buy insects to eat!"

"Yes, yes, yes. We spend money to eat out, of course, to eat good meat, so what's the point of getting these bugs?"

"Forget it, forget it. I won't eat my food. Boss, I'll just keep it the same as before, a bowl of double-topped rice and a bowl of winter melon and pork ribs clay pot soup."

The diners found the crayfish difficult to eat and ordered other foods.

Seeing this, the people in the shop became a little anxious. It was a pity that they gave up such a delicious crayfish without even tasting it just because it had a worm name.

Daqiang and several aunts immediately started promoting egg yolk crayfish and even started a food tasting on the spot, but to no avail.

The diners felt a little relieved upon seeing this, but they still couldn't get over the hurdle in their hearts.

Seeing this, Grandma Niu and the other two who were guarding outside the shop became a little anxious.

After selling the crayfish, they did not leave because they were also worried whether the Leng family would be able to sell all the crayfish they purchased at one time, or whether they would end up with a lot of them.

"That's what I mean. How could anyone spend money to buy and eat red worms that are commonly used to feed chickens and ducks and can be found everywhere?"

Grandma Niu felt increasingly depressed, and she didn’t know what mood she was in.

At this moment, suddenly a few people passed by the three of them and walked into the shop.

Judging from their clothes, some of them looked like scholars, and all of them were quite handsome. They went straight into the back of the store.

All the food outlets in the shop were crowded with diners, with long queues forming. Only the area selling egg yolk crayfish was deserted and no one lingered in front of it.

However, those scholars were very accurate in their aim. They stood straight at the deserted food outlet and asked curiously.

"Is this Leng Ji's new product, egg yolk crayfish noodles?"

Someone asked a question.

"Yes, yes, this thing is called crayfish. It looks a bit scary, but after being cooked with our secret recipe, it tastes first-rate."

Seeing that there was finally some business coming, and they were familiar diners, Aunt Yao and her friends worked hard to promote the dish, praising the taste to the skies.

Sheng Yuxing and several other scholars who were visiting were looking forward to it very much and ordered one each to try the flavor.

In comparison, although Sheng Yuxing and his companions were knowledgeable and experienced, they seldom saw crayfish due to their wealthy family conditions, and they did not even know that it also had a name of insect.

Therefore, when faced with crayfish, they just think of it as a special ingredient and do not have too much resistance to it.

Also, because the egg yolk crayfish was delicious and smelled good, and based on their trust in Leng Ji, they were very receptive to it.

So after bowls of egg yolk crayfish noodles were served, the workers in the shop gave a simple demonstration of how to eat crayfish.

They immediately followed suit and peeled a crayfish and put it in their mouth. They were instantly amazed. Then they mixed the hand-rolled noodles with the egg yolk soup and took a bite. It was even more satisfying and they kept exclaiming how delicious it was.

"It's so delicious. Miss Leng was right yesterday. Today's new dish is so delicious that I've never heard of it before."

Xiao Pingyue kept praising the dish while eating, and Sheng Yuxing echoed him even more.

"Yes, yes, Leng Ji's food has never let me down!"

The few of them ate with such relish that the onlookers were shocked and curious.

"This, this, this, are you really eating it? You can really eat it, and it's really that delicious!? Are those bugs really edible?"

When the people in Lengji's shop were trying the crayfish just now, some people in the crowd relaxed. Now, seeing that there was the first diner to try the crayfish, and that it tasted very delicious, their already wavering hearts relaxed again.
