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

Then, diners came one after another and became particularly curious about what the crayfish tasted like.

Suddenly, more and more diners ordered egg yolk crayfish, and it became extremely popular.

"I was too narrow-minded just now. What's the use of bugs? This crayfish noodles tastes so good!"

"Yes, yes, yes, who would have thought that these things that no one eats are so delicious when made by Leng Ji, it's absolutely amazing!"

"No, no, waiter, pack me three more servings of crayfish noodles. I want to take them home for my wife and children to try. This is so delicious."

"Who says it's not true? The more you eat this, the more delicious it tastes. With the egg yolk sauce, noodles and rice, I can finish three bowls!"

For a while, crayfish became very popular, and the shop was instantly filled up.

When Grandma Niu and the other two outside the door saw this, they inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief and finally felt completely at ease.

"Let's go home and catch some crawfish. We have to make some deliveries tomorrow."

Grandma Niu was carrying an empty basket with a smile on her face. She was very happy thinking that she would make a lot of money after selling all the crayfish tomorrow.

The good mood of the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren cannot be melted by the scorching sun.

They walked along the street towards the town gate. There was a bun stand on the roadside. The aroma of smoke and steam wafted in the air and rushed straight into the noses of the three people.

"Grandma, I'm hungry."

Niu Erzhu was carrying a small basket and could hardly walk.

In order to deliver the goods, the three generations of the family, a grandparent and grandchildren, got up before dawn. In the morning, each of them only had a mixed-flour pancake. In order to save money, they walked from the village to the town, and have been doing so until now.

Apart from drinking water in Leng's shop just now, he hadn't eaten anything else.

It was already past noon and the three of them were already starving.

When Grandma Niu heard her grandson say this, she touched the purse in her arms, looked at her two skinny grandsons, the eldest one was fourteen years old, and the younger one was seven or eight years old, gritted her teeth and walked towards the bun stall.

"Boss, how much are these steamed buns?"

Grandma Niu spoke nervously.

"White flour buns are one cent each, half-meat and half-vegetarian buns are two cents each, and pure meat buns are three cents each."

Seeing that there was business coming, the bun stall owner quickly quoted the price.

Upon hearing this, Granny Niu looked at her two grandsons, counted the people in the family, and then spoke:

"Then I want six white flour buns, six half-meat and half-vegetarian buns, and two pure meat buns."

"Okay, twenty-four coppers in total."

Seeing that it was a big customer, the bun stall owner smiled warmly and packed what they ordered in no time.

After paying the copper coins and taking the buns, Grandma Niu first gave each of her two grandsons a half-meat and half-vegetarian bun.

"You must be hungry, eat quickly!"

"No, grandma, you eat first."

Niu Dazhuang and the other man shook their heads very sensibly and were about to hand the buns in their hands to grandma.

"Eat, eat, there's more."

Granny Niu waved her hands repeatedly when she saw this, but finally, she had no choice but to take a half-meat, half-vegetarian bun to eat.

"Okay, it's okay if grandma gives you the same food."

Seeing grandma eating the buns, the two of them lowered their heads obediently and took small bites of the buns in their hands. This was their first time eating meat buns.

After taking a bite, they found the buns' crust was soft and sweet, and the buns with leek and pork fillings were fragrant and oily. They were so delicious that they couldn't help but squint their eyes.

The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren ate as they walked toward the town gate. In order to go home earlier to catch crayfish, Grandma Niu gritted her teeth and took out three copper coins to make an ox cart.

Niu Dazhuang and his companion had seldom ridden in an ox cart before. Along the way, they looked around curiously on the swaying ox cart.

After the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren finished eating the buns, they each ate a steamed bun, and Grandma Niu hugged the rest tightly in her arms.

When the ox cart arrived at Niujia Village where they lived, the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren got off the cart and walked home.

Their home is at the entrance of the village, and not far from their door is a small river that flows continuously.

There are several families standing next to the stream. One of them is an old mud-brick house with a front and back fence. It is their home.

Although the yard is old, it is kept clean and tidy, and the plan is very neat and tidy. There is a lush vegetable garden and lively chickens and ducks. It can be seen that the owner is a hardworking person.

"Mom, sisters, we are back!"

Niu Erzhuang pushed the door open excitedly and entered the yard, shouting out.

The Niu family was poor, and there were few descendants. Fortunately, by the time of Niu Dazhuang's generation, there were four sisters, which made up for the Niu family's single-line bloodline.

Perhaps it was because the population of each family was fixed. After Niu Dazhuang and his four siblings were born, not long after, Grandpa Niu died unexpectedly. A year later, Grandma Niu's only son also died of illness.

Only Grandma Niu and her daughter-in-law were left with their four children.

There was no able-bodied man in the family, just two women and children, raising four children. You can imagine how difficult their life was.

Fortunately, the people in Niujia Village were kind-hearted and united, and they helped them from time to time, so they were able to barely get by.

The people in the house heard the noise and came out, a frail young woman and a little girl of eight or nine years old.

"Mom, you're back."

The young woman exclaimed in surprise and took a few steps forward to greet him.

"Why did you come back so early today? But...oh..."

The woman was just about to ask if they were caught red worms that couldn't be sold, but she saw that their baskets were empty.

“This…are all of them sold out?”

The woman's face was filled with shock and disbelief, but Niu Erzhuang spoke excitedly.

"Yes, yes, they were all sold out and I made a lot of money. Grandma also bought some big meat buns, they were so delicious!"

Niu Erzhuang jumped for joy, and Grandma Niu called him and pulled him into the house.

After entering the house, she took out the only two meat buns from the oil paper package and gave one to the woman and the little girl.

"Lan Niang, Xing Ya'er, please try it and see if it tastes good. We have all eaten it before."

White flour meat buns are a rare treat for their family and they cannot be eaten except during festivals.

"Just give it to Xing Ya'er to try. I just had lunch and I'm not hungry yet."

Lan Niang waved her hands, and when she saw the white flour buns she bought, she couldn't help feeling distressed.

"Eat if I tell you to. Don't refuse."

Seeing this, Granny Niu refused to give in. "Since you have earned money, you should eat something good. You are not in good health to begin with, so you should take more supplements."

"Look, you don't want to eat, and the children don't want to eat either."

As Grandma Niu spoke, she walked into the house and took out her three-year-old granddaughter Tao Yatou from the inner room.
