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

After the hot pot restaurant opened for lunch, a steady stream of customers came into the store.

Then the hot pot area, dessert and milk tea area were all busy in an orderly manner, especially the dessert area, because new desserts were introduced, the business was booming.

Some people who heard the news lined up not just to eat hotpot, but to buy a cup of milk tea or some sago.

The ladies and young ladies of wealthy families even asked their servants and maids to line up to pack the food and take it back.

Leng Yan even found that people paid money to find someone to queue for them, which shows how popular milk tea desserts are.

"Five cups of taro milk tea, two pumpkin pie buns, and take them all away. Also, what new products do you have today?"

When a gentle and pleasant voice sounded, Leng Yan and Xiao Ji and the other four were busy in the dessert area. Occasionally, they heard a familiar voice and looked up.

"Miss Sheng!"

Leng Yan was surprised.

The person who came was Sheng Yuxing’s sister, Sheng Yuyou, whom I met last time.

"Oh, Miss Leng, you are here today too. I didn't see you in the past few days. It's such a coincidence today."

Just now, Sheng Yuyou was studying the menu and placing an order, and did not notice Leng Yan for a moment.

She immediately thought of something and said in surprise, "You are here today and a new product has just been released. Could it be that you were not here for the past few days and were researching new products?"

Leng Yan nodded without comment, and then introduced the new products to her.

"Miss Leng, I trust you. Just pack a few for me and tell me the final price."

Sheng Yuyou smiled gently, with admiration in her eyes: "Miss Leng, you are really amazing. You can make such delicious milk tea. Since I drank it for the first time, I fell in love with it. I come here to line up to buy it every day."

"It's nothing, as long as you like it, Miss Sheng!"

Leng Yan waved her hand modestly, thinking that she had already packed so much at one time and had to recommend new products, so she couldn't finish it by herself, and it must have other uses.

So she asked, "Miss Sheng, you packed so many desserts and milk teas. Are you sharing them with your family or... I wonder if Miss Sheng can tell me a thing or two so that I can prepare other desserts for you."

"Oh, right, why did I forget to tell you." Sheng Yuyou slapped her forehead when she heard it. "This is a poetry gathering that I and my best friends are organizing. I wonder if Miss Leng is interested?"

Leng Yan was surprised for a moment, then shook her head: "Miss Sheng, you are joking. How can I go to a poetry gathering? Besides, I can't leave here."

Seeing that she refused, Sheng Yuyou did not force her, and Leng Yan quickly recommended new dishes to her. After the meal was ready and the money was paid, Sheng Yuyou left with the maid.

After the lunch market ended, because the taro sago and taro milk tea were selling well, there were not many taro left in the kitchen.

Leng Yan went to the vegetable market with Xiao Ji. Taro is now out of season. If it weren't for the fact that it is easy to store, they would probably have to wait until next summer to buy it.

Now, because taro sago and taro milk tea are very popular, Leng Yan has to stock up more taro.

But the two of them walked around the vegetable market for several rounds and only bought less than 200 kilograms.

Even so, the two of them followed the three vendors home and collected the stocks they had at home. However, most of the vendors had no more taro stocks at home, which meant that once today's stocks were sold out, they would be gone.

Leng Yan was a little distressed. These less than 200 kilograms of taro would not last more than a few days in the shop.

She had no choice but to work with Xiao Ji to pull the two hundred kilograms of taro back to the hot pot restaurant on a ox cart.

Then, early the next morning, she drove a bullock cart and took two shop assistants named Dalin and Erlin to Beicheng County to see if she could buy some in Beicheng County. If it was not enough, she would buy it from the system mall.

The ox cart was swaying along the official road. After arriving at Beicheng County, Leng Yan first drove the ox cart to Xianju Pavilion, because it was time to provide recipes to Xianju Pavilion and settle dividends every month.

After Leng Yan jumped off the ox cart, he turned to Dalin and Erlin and said, "You guys drive the ox cart around the county first. If you come across a vendor selling taro, buy all of them. Here are the copper coins."

As she spoke, she handed over a purse and said, "We'll meet at the alley ahead in about an hour."

"Yes, Mr. Yan." After Dalin and the other man responded, they drove away in the ox cart. Seeing this, Leng Yan knocked on the back door of Xianju Pavilion.

It was Qingxi who came to open the door again. Xianju Pavilion's business was good now, and Qingxi was smart and capable. He had been promoted from a waiter to the manager of purchasing for the kitchen.

Normally he wouldn't have to do the job of opening the door, but he calculated the time and guessed that Leng Yan would be here in the next few days, so when he heard the knock on the door, he hurried out to greet her.

"Hey, Miss Leng, you're finally here!"

Qingxi invited her into the yard in a familiar manner and said enthusiastically, "Manager Zhao and Chef Yang have been looking forward to your arrival!"

Leng Yan said a few polite words and responded with a big smile, then turned to stare at Qingxi and said, "Brother Qingxi, why have you lost so much weight?"

"what."

Qingxi touched his cheek and said, "Really? Why do I feel like I'm a lot stronger? My strength is much greater than before."

Hearing him say this, Leng Yan looked at him again and found that it was just as he said, although there was less flesh on his face and his facial features became more three-dimensional, it might also be because the baby fat on his face had disappeared, making his facial features more clearly defined.

"Oh, ah!"

Qingxi seemed to remember something and continued, "Some time ago, I followed my young master to the Western Regions. They mostly ate beef and mutton over there. I was only there for a few days but I became much stronger."

As Qingxi spoke, he seemed to recall the delicious taste of beef and mutton, and couldn't help swallowing.

Leng Yan seemed to feel the deliciousness of beef and mutton from his words, and also grasped the key points.

"You and your young master went to the Western Regions!"

"Yes, because autumn and winter are cold and easy to store, and it is also the time when grazing is over, so mutton and beef are easy to buy. The young master went there to buy mutton and cattle this time, and he brought back quite a few!"

"What, beef!!" Leng Yan was greedy.

Braised beef, beef brisket stewed with tomatoes, beef with pickled peppers, stir-fried beef, beef stewed with potatoes, beef hotpot, beef balls, these are the delicacies she has been dreaming of for a long time.

But because this dynasty did not allow the casual slaughter of working oxen, she has not touched a single hair of a cow until now.

"Yes!"

Qingxi added: "The shopkeeper and Chef Yang know that you are a good cook, so they hope that you can use beef and mutton to make some dishes that they have never seen before!"

"What are you waiting for? Take me there!"

Leng Yan looked extremely excited.

Just as she was led into the box by Qingxi, Manager Zhao and Chef Yang came out to greet her.
