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

Old Man Leng, Leng Huai and Leng Cang also picked up the firewood for a while. After picking up half a basket, they reminded Leng Qi to be careful and then started chopping firewood nearby.

After Leng Yan and Leng Su refined the butter at home, they put it into jars for storage. When the weather got cold and snowed, she thought about having an authentic butter hotpot!

The freshly made sour, spicy and pickled pepper beef sauce was so delicious that Leng Yan and Leng Su couldn't help but take a cold steamed bun each, break it in half, put some pickled pepper beef sauce in it, and ate it directly. It was so delicious.

After they both slowly finished eating a steamed bun, they put the pickled pepper beef sauce into jars for storage.

After that, after the two of them cleaned up the kitchen, Leng Su was going to go to the village soap factory to work. Leng Yan thought about it and decided to follow her.

Nowadays, Leng Yan has handed over all the power of the soap factory to her sister-in-law. She not only provides different pure dew essential oils according to the different flower seasons, but also provides different essential oils according to the different flower seasons.

All other matters are managed by my aunt, including the cargo connection with Mr. Shen from Fulinge, etc., and all the decisions are made by my aunt.

This is also the reason why Leng Yan always brought his sister-in-law with him every time he went to Fulin Pavilion, just to make himself familiar with the people and get familiar with the procedures.

And the younger sister-in-law did not disappoint everyone's expectations. She also learned some housekeeping skills from her aunt Chen Yueshu and managed the soap factory in an orderly manner.

The soap is very popular among ladies and young ladies due to the marketing of Fulin Pavilion, and the business is often in short supply. Therefore, the monthly revenue of the soap factory is a considerable income for the Leng family.

Leng Yan followed her aunt around the factory and went through every step of soap making carefully, step by step. She didn't find any problems and couldn't help but give her aunt a thumbs up.

"Little aunt, you are really getting better and better. You are already a sure bet for the helm of the boss!"

"No way, I'm far from it!" Leng Su smiled embarrassedly.

"Really, don't be embarrassed, aunt!"

Leng Yan gave Yu affirmation and stayed with her sister-in-law for a while. Then she left the soap factory and walked towards the workshop where cassava flour was produced.

The progress in the workshop was also orderly. Leng Yan went into the warehouse specifically to see how much cassava flour was ready.

For convenience, every time something enters the warehouse, it will be registered in a notebook. Leng Yan found the worker in charge of the warehouse and got the notebook.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that more than 5,200 kilograms of cassava flour were currently being produced.

There is so much tapioca flour that it cannot be used up just to make pearl tapioca. It can be used to make vermicelli instead.

After Leng Yan made up his mind, he prepared to start work tomorrow, as there happened to be ready-made workers in the factory.

The next morning, Leng Yan got up early and prepared to go to the workshop to make vermicelli after breakfast.

When Leng Yan was hesitating about what to eat in the morning, he caught a glimpse of the big red dates drying under the eaves.

This is what my grandfather and my little sister found when they went up the mountain yesterday. Because there were too many of them and the red dates were in a half-dried state, they couldn't eat them all at once, so they had to dry them and store them for a long time.

"Red dates!" Leng Yan murmured, and an idea came to her instantly. "Got it? Let's make a fragrant, sweet and non-greasy red date cake!"

Leng Yan immediately found a wooden basin, picked up an appropriate amount of red dates, added a little salt and flour, and took it to the well to wash.

The wrinkled red dates are adsorbed with a lot of dirt, so they need to be washed several times with flour. After they are almost cleaned, you can drain the water and serve them.

Leng Yan took a pair of scissors and removed the pits of the red dates one by one.

Then remove the pulp from the red dates and put it in a bowl. Cover the pot with cold water, wait for the water to boil, and steam it for about a quarter of an hour before serving.

After the steamed red dates have cooled down a little, Leng Yan cleans the stone scoop, pours in the steamed red dates, and finely mashes the red date pulp.

After pouring the mashed pulp into the bowl, you can add appropriate amount of brown sugar according to your taste.

Then Leng Yan took the chopsticks and stirred the brown sugar and red dates evenly. After the brown sugar melted, add appropriate amounts of glutinous rice flour and tapioca flour. Continue stirring with chopsticks until it becomes a smooth paste without any particles. Then add appropriate amount of vegetable oil and stir thoroughly.

Finally, Leng Yan found a few deep plates and brushed a layer of vegetable oil evenly on the plates so that it would be easier to demould later.

Leng Yan pours the prepared date paste into a plate, smoothes the surface with a spatula, and steams it in boiling water for 15 minutes.

When the time was up, Leng Yan just opened the lid of the pot, and a strong aroma of dates hit him in the face, making his stomach growl.

After steaming the red date cake, pour out the steam in the plate first, then sprinkle with sesame seeds to garnish it. Let it cool a little before removing the red date cake from the plate.

Then it was evenly cut into long strips. As soon as the red and soft red date cakes were cut, Leng Yan couldn't wait to take a piece and take a bite. Instantly, his mouth was filled with a strong aroma of dates.

“It smells so good, so sweet and so delicious!”

After chewing it a little, the red date cake is sweet but not greasy, has just the right amount of chewiness and is very chewy.

Moreover, the cooled red date cake does not become hard. Instead, it becomes more delicious the more you eat it. You can’t stop eating one piece after another.

Leng Yan had just finished cooking when others came running over after smelling the aroma.

Old Master Leng was going to take Leng Huai, Leng Cang and Leng Qi to the private school in a ox cart. They were in such a hurry that they didn't have time to eat breakfast, so Leng Yan packed a few portions in a lunch box for them to eat on the way.

Leng Xun and Zhang Cuiniang drove the ox cart to the food shop in town early in the morning. Leng Yan also packed some food in food boxes for them.

In the end, the only ones who could sit peacefully at the table and eat breakfast were Leng Yan, Leng Su and Leng He.

After they finished their breakfast with great satisfaction, Leng Su went to the soap factory, and Leng Yan took Leng He to the workshop to prepare to make vermicelli.

The method of making vermicelli is similar to the steps of making tapioca pearls by Leng Yan. Both require shaking the dough with a strainer, pressing it down with a pusher, and letting it fall through the densely packed round holes on the shaker.

The difference is that the cassava dough for making vermicelli should be thinner, so that when you press it through the round holes in the shaker, long and thin vermicelli will leak out.

The long and thin vermicelli pressed out of the dough must be slid into the hot water in the pot and cooked over low heat until it is shaped. During the process, the vermicelli in the pot should be stirred with chopsticks to prevent sticking.

After the vermicelli is made in this way, rinse it with cold water and it is done. You can cook it directly or dry it and store it for a long time.
