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

Leng Yan was frightened when he heard this, and rushed to the source of the sound in a few steps. Leng Huai, Leng Cang and others followed closely behind him.

"What happened?"

She spoke out hurriedly, fearing that Leng Jiaren had been bitten by some insect.

Unexpectedly, Leng Jiaren was holding a wooden stick in her hand and poking a ball of fur on the ground.

"It's okay, big sister, this is what I accidentally touched when I was picking mushrooms. My hand was pricked and it hurts a little."

Leng Yan followed to see, and found that the green, prickly ball of fur looked particularly familiar.

Then he squatted down and took a closer look and found that it was actually a chestnut. He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

“It’s chestnut!”

“This thing is delicious.”

As he spoke, Leng Yan stepped on the ball of fur with his shoes, and with the wooden stick in his hand, he pried out a few dark brown fruits from it.

Seeing this, Leng Huai beside him couldn't help but say: "Yes, this mountain chestnut is edible. When we didn't have enough food at home, we would go up the mountain to pick these to eat.

Don’t be fooled by its hard texture. When you peel it open and eat the fruit inside, it is actually crunchy and sweet.”

Chestnuts are a good thing. Whether they are made into sugar-fried chestnuts or used in cooking, they taste extremely delicious.

Therefore, in addition to picking mushrooms, they also picked a lot of chestnuts. After their baskets were full, they went down the mountain and returned home together.

After returning home, Leng Yan and a few others squatted under the eaves and sorted out the mushrooms in the baskets. Those that could be dried and preserved for a long time were kept for drying.

If something cannot be stored for a long time, she would take it out and eat it at home in the evening, or make some sauces for preservation.

Just as Leng Yan and the others were happily washing mushrooms, Aunt Liu came.

Zhang Cuiniang thought something happened in the shop, so she went to greet them, but Aunt Liu said:

"Cui Niang, a clerk from a dental shop came to tell me at noon that he had found a suitable shop and would take me to see it tomorrow."

When Zhang Cuiniang heard about this, she reacted immediately and told her daughter about it. Leng Yan was also very happy when he knew about it. The heavy stone in his heart seemed to have fallen by half. He even ate two more bowls of bowls of dinner.

Of course, it may also be because today's dinner was so delicious. Whether it was fried bacon with mushrooms, matsutake egg fried rice, or mushroom chicken soup, they were all so delicious that they made people drool.

Leng Yan finally went back to her room burping from eating too much. She was too full to sleep, so she sat at the desk and wrote some pictures.

As for the restaurant matter, now that the guy from the pawnshop has given the OK, it's half settled.

Then, apart from discussing the price, the most important thing is what the restaurant mainly sells so that it will have more advantages. It should also be able to open in a short period of time, and it would be best if there is not too many chefs.

After all, a reliable chef with good skills is hard to come by, and it is even harder to train one in a short period of time.

Leng Yan had been thinking about this matter for the past two days. It was not until she discovered mushrooms that she came up with an idea and thought of mushroom soup hotpot.

But mushroom soup hotpot is seasonal after all, so Leng Yan thought of spicy hotpot again. Now that the weather is getting colder, it is the season for eating hotpot.

Opening a hot pot restaurant is not only convenient, but also does not require too many chefs. It is simply the best choice.

After Leng Yan made up her mind, she began to prepare for the hot pot restaurant. Whether it was tables, chairs, benches, or bowls and dishes for the hot pot, she wrote down the plans and drew the blueprints one by one.

Leng Yan was busy until late at night, then he went to bed yawning and almost didn't get up the next day.

If Leng Yan hadn't had to go to the shop today, she really didn't want to get up at all.

The morning market in Lengji is still busy in the early morning, and the smoke rising from the steamer on the stove evokes the vitality of the day.

Leng Yan ate a basket of soup dumplings in a hurry with her eyelids drooling. When it was almost time, she wrapped some sauce-flavored cakes and chive boxes in oil paper, called her father and went to the dental clinic together.

Shops usually open early in the morning, so when they arrived at the pawnshop, it was not open.

The young man from the pawnshop had already been squatting at the door waiting.

As soon as he saw them coming, the boy was overjoyed and ran over to them.

"Uncle Leng, you guys are here. Come on, I'll take you to see the shop now. You don't know where it is located!"

The young man explained the situation enthusiastically.

Seeing this, Leng Yan gratefully handed him the chive box pancake she had brought.

"Thank you for your hard work, little brother. You came so early. I guess you haven't had time to eat breakfast yet. I brought you some food. It's still hot. Eat it while it's hot!"

"Oh, thank you so much!"

The young man was a little flattered. He had heard of Leng Ji's breakfast, but because his family was poor and he had an elderly mother and younger siblings to support, he had never been willing to eat it.

So when he saw such a large bag of food, he was so moved that he didn't know what to say.

After that, he unwrapped the oil paper package, took out a piece of chive box, took a bite and couldn't help but exclaimed, "It smells so good!"

The shop the waiter showed them was a three-story shop located at a crossroads in the center of town, covering a large area.

Originally, the shop was a jewelry store, but not long ago, several silver jewelry makers in the store were poached, resulting in the loss of the store's main products. Coupled with poor management, business subsequently plummeted.

The owner of the jewelry store saw that the business was getting worse and worse, and he didn't want to lose so much money that he couldn't even afford to wear his pants, so he made a quick decision to sell such a big shop, and then buy a smaller shop and build up slowly.

It just so happened that Leng Yan and his group came to the door at this time, and what was even more coincidental was that the Zuixianlou was diagonally opposite the Silver Building.

Seeing this, Leng Yan thought it was such a coincidence, as if God wanted them to run into each other.

After that, the shop matters were discussed smoothly. The owner of the silver shop was a straightforward person and did not want any further complications, so he immediately went to the county government with Leng Yan and others to handle the paperwork.

When saying goodbye, the clerk in the dental shop was also happy to receive a generous commission.

Leng Xun held the newly acquired house deed in his hand, still feeling a little unreal.

"Daughter, have we really bought such a big shop?"

"Yes, Dad!"

Leng Yan smiled and replied: "We spent six or seven hundred taels of silver, so it should belong to us!"

As the father and daughter returned to Lengji holding Zhang Diqi, they were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling all the way.

"Hey, what is that person doing?"

Leng Xun suddenly asked in confusion, staring at a middle-aged man lying at the back door of their shop.

Leng Yan went to see it and also found it strange.

"He's sneaking around in broad daylight. Could he be a thief?"

Leng Xun suddenly realized something and signaled his daughter to step back. He then quietly stepped forward and tried to hold the man down.

The man was lying on the crack of the door, watching intently, until Leng Xun grabbed his arms and shoulders, then he began to struggle violently.

"Who is it? Let go, it hurts so much!"

That person looks strong on the outside but is actually weak on the inside. He is very harsh with his words and always says nasty things.

But Leng Xun was a sturdy and strong man, no matter how he struggled, he couldn't be shaken at all.

"Be quiet, what are you doing lying at the back door of my shop in broad daylight? Tell me now, or you'll be in trouble."

As he spoke, Leng Xun tightened the strength of his grip, causing the man to grimace in pain and no longer dare to be arrogant.

"Be gentle, be gentle, I'm here to look for Wu Xiujuan."

"Wu Xiujuan?"

Leng Yan walked forward in surprise, feeling that the name sounded familiar.
