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

The cassava soup eaten while hot was especially delicious, and several people's eyes lit up instantly.

"What a refreshing and sweet taste! The tapioca flour is so soft and delicious!"

Leng He loves sweets, and this syrup is simply her dream.

"Uh-huh!"

Leng Qi also nodded and agreed, "Sweet, sweet, sweet, delicious!"

After they finished a bowl of sugar water contentedly, Leng Xun and Zhang Cuiniang happened to be driving an ox cart back from work in the town.

After a busy day, both of them were exhausted. Leng Yan brought each of them a bowl of cassava soup.

"Mom and Dad, try this!"

The slightly cooled cassava soup is sweet and thirst-quenching, and it is extremely refreshing to drink it in one gulp.

"It tastes good. What is this, daughter? After taking a sip, I feel that a lot of fatigue from the whole day has dissipated!"

Zhang Cuiniang's eyes lit up and she kept praising him.

"Yes, yes, it's refreshing and thirst-quenching. It tastes really good!"

Leng Xun also echoed from the side.

Seeing that they were all interested, Leng Yan briefly told them about today's trip up the mountain to dig cassava.

The two were shocked again when they heard this, and Leng Yan said, "Mom and Dad, we will go up the mountain to dig for cassava tomorrow.

Then bring some of the cassava you dug today to the hot pot restaurant tomorrow, and have Xiao Ji and the others make some sweet soup and try to sell it to see if the diners like it.”

"This sweet soup will definitely be very popular. Even those who don't have a strong sweet tooth will love it after trying it."

Leng Xun believed very much in his daughter's abilities and never stopped praising her.

Leng Yan was amused by her father's serious look, and then he said something else. Then the family went to the dining room to have dinner, chatting and laughing.

The sky is getting darker, the moon is rising, and I have a good night's sleep.

The next morning, the family started another busy day. Leng Xun and Zhang Cuiniang took a basket of cassava and drove a ox cart to the town before daybreak.

Today's breakfast was made by Leng Su, which included white rice porridge, egg pancakes, salted duck eggs, and various pickled side dishes.

After a simple meal, Mr. Leng drove the ox cart to send Leng Huai and the other two to the private school. After returning, he went to the backyard to clean the chicken coop and duck shed.

After breakfast in the morning, Leng Su went to the soap factory to work, while Leng He was feeding the rabbits.

Leng Yan, who woke up last, yawned continuously, washed up, went into the kitchen, looked at the breakfast left for him in the pot,

She didn't want to peel the salted duck eggs, and as she had to go up the mountain soon, she hurriedly drank a bowl of porridge and ate an egg pancake. While she was drinking the porridge and eating the side dishes, she thought of another dish that went well with the white porridge: fermented bean curd.

Moreover, fermented bean curd can not only be used in porridge, but also in cooking. Fermented bean curd meat, pig's trotters stewed with fermented bean curd, and fermented bean curd tofu made with it are all delicious.

The more Leng Yan thought about it, the more greedy he became, so he immediately decided to find some time to make the fermented bean curd.

After she had a simple breakfast, the morning sun gradually rose, illuminating the foggy mountains.

There would be dew if we went into the mountains too early, so Leng Yan waited for a while before calling his grandfather, little sister, and three dogs to go up the mountain.

My sister-in-law didn't come with us today because she had to work in the soap factory. So the three of them went to the same place as yesterday and started digging cassava and fern roots.

After working for more than an hour, Leng Yan felt that her efficiency was very low. Thinking of the things she had to do later, she thought for a moment and suggested:

"Grandpa, let's ask the villagers to help dig!"

Leng Yan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Just like harvesting vegetables before, we let the villagers go up the mountain to dig, and then we buy them. This not only saves time and effort, but also helps the villagers get rich and earn some money for the family. It's really killing two birds with one stone."

Thinking about grinding the cassava and fern roots into flour and then making all kinds of delicious food, Leng Yan felt that there was not enough time.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Leng stopped digging with his shovel, glanced at his two pretty granddaughters standing beside him, and felt that it was not right to let them dig holes in the land every day.

As a man who deals with the land every day, it's okay for him to be a little tired and dirty, but it's not the same for his two precious granddaughters.

Besides, there are so many cassava fern roots in the mountains that the three of them alone cannot dig them all. It would be better to have more manpower and more strength.

"Okay, once we get down the mountain, I'll go find your village chief and ask him to organize everyone to go up the mountain and make some money before winter so we can celebrate the New Year!"

After making up their minds, the grandfather and his two grandchildren quickened their work. After they filled the baskets they brought, they slowly went down the mountain.

After carrying the basket back home, without taking a rest, Grandpa Leng went to find Village Chief Lan. Leng Yan washed a few more cassavas, peeled them, cut them into pieces, added sugar, and stewed them in a clay pot, waiting to be ready to drink.

Afterwards, she took her younger sister to Grandma Lin's house to buy tofu. Since she had decided to purchase cassava and fern roots from the villagers, she did not plan to go up the mountain in the afternoon and was ready to make fermented bean curd as soon as possible.

She bought more than 50 kilograms of tofu, and when she carried it back, she had to prepare lunch.

Leng Yan used tofu to make minced meat tofu, scrambled eggs with sour beans, vegetable and tofu soup, and served it with rice and cassava syrup. It was another simple meal.

After the meal was ready, Old Man Leng also returned from Village Chief Lan's house.

"How is Grandpa? What did Village Chief Lan say?"

Leng Yan took a few steps forward.

"It's done!"

Old Master Leng smiled happily and said, "Granddaughter, when Village Chief Lan heard that we found something edible in the mountains and that we were willing to pay for it, he was so happy that he immediately nodded in agreement."

"Village Chief Lan also said that he would invite everyone to go up the mountain in the afternoon. I will go with them and teach the villagers how to identify fern roots and cassava."

It is said that if you have food at home, you will not be worried, so as long as there is something to store at home, Mr. Leng will be extremely happy.

Leng Yan was very happy to see that the matter was finalized. After lunch, Old Man Leng, Village Chief Lan, led the villagers up the mountain.

Leng Yan and Leng He stayed at home and cut the tofu they bought in the morning into evenly sized cubes.

Then cover the winnowing basket with straw and place the tofu cubes evenly on the straw with some space between them.

Because she made a large quantity, Leng Yan set aside a separate room for it, stacked the neatly arranged tofu blocks evenly in the room, and then covered them with layers of white gauze and cotton cloth.

Then wait for time to ferment, and during this period the humidity and temperature must be controlled well so that dense white hairs can grow on the tofu blocks.
