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

The aunt and niece sat at Liu's house for a while, declined Li Yuemei's offer to keep them for dinner, and left for home.

Seeing that she couldn't keep them, Li Yuemei stood up and enthusiastically walked them out the door.

"Oh, it's so cold, why are the mother and son standing in the wind? Isn't this what the self-proclaimed scholars in their family call 'character and character'?"

Li Yuemei knew about the break-off of the engagement between the Sun and Leng families, and she had long been fed up with the Sun family's arrogant attitude, so she couldn't help but make a few sarcastic remarks.

The aunt and niece were both little girls. They just smiled when they heard the words, and didn't say anything, just pretending not to see the two people.

After Li Yuemei had finished her talk, she quickly asked her aunt and nephew to go home. "It's very cold. Go back quickly and don't bother with irrelevant people."

The aunt and nephew nodded in response and then turned around and went back home.

But just when they were halfway there, they were stopped by Sun Caiwen who came rushing over.

"Susu, I have something to tell you."

Leng Su paused, "I have nothing to say to you."

"No, Susu, listen to me, you won't be so cruel, right?"

Sun Caiwen struggled desperately, "Susu, look at me, I am your Brother Caiwen.

Don’t you want to be my wife the most? Even though something went wrong, in my heart you are my wife. How can the status be as important as my feelings for you? "

Sun Caiwen didn't believe that Leng Su could reject him. He always felt that Leng Su was just being unreasonable because she couldn't be his wife.

Leng Yan, who was listening to such shameless words, kept rolling her eyes and couldn't help wanting to vomit.

But she didn't say anything. She wanted her aunt to see who this person was and also wanted to see how she would solve the problem.

"You can't take childhood words seriously. Besides, you are the one who is wrong, not me. I really have nothing to say to you. Please respect yourself!"

After Leng Su finished speaking, he seemed to think of something.

"Oh, yes, I have something to tell you."

She said with a cold face, "Sun Caiwen, since you have cancelled the engagement, we should be even.

So, shouldn’t I return the money I’ve given you over the years?”

Just now when she was at Liu's house, she heard several children of the Liu family quietly and excitedly discussing something. A very imposing carriage was parked in front of Sun's house today.

It seemed like someone from Mr. Wang’s family in the city had come to discuss getting married and building a house.

Sister Yuemei was probably afraid that her daughter would be upset after hearing what she heard, so she scolded her children.

It was at that moment that Leng Su completely let go and saw through Sun Caiwen completely.

The engagement had clearly been cancelled, and he was clearly about to be engaged to Miss Wang, but now he is still entangled with her. It's simply ridiculous.

Seeing his stiff expression, Leng Su smiled sarcastically.

“It is said that scholars regard money as dirt, but I think there is nothing wrong with liking money. The mistake is that you pretend to be noble, but at the same time you are unscrupulous and treacherous.

Even so, you still think I will like you, it's ridiculous."

After saying this, Leng Su didn't wait for him to reply. She took Leng Yan beside her and turned to leave.

On the way, the aunt and niece said nothing, but just smiled at each other, which spoke thousands of words.

Leng Su was more relaxed than ever before. Having grown up without a mother, she had seen all kinds of sarcasm and ridicule. She longed for a relationship, but she could also tell good from bad.

"Wangwangwang."

Da Huang ran out from afar to greet them, and the smell of meat wafting from the house seemed to be silently urging them.

When the food was served, there were several large bowls full of wild boar meat, which made everyone's eyes pop out.

Because we were having a pig-killing dinner with the Zhan family, there were so many people that we divided the table into two, one for adults and one for children. At the command given, the chopsticks in everyone's hands moved as fast as an afterimage.

The stewed wild boar meat was fragrant and not dry. It was eaten with slices and dipped in mashed garlic. Everyone kept praising it and was simply overwhelmed by the aroma.

After finishing the meat and the vegetables, they were served a bowl of warm broth, which made everyone burp so much that they were full.

After sitting and resting for a while after the meal, Aunt Liu and Zhan Hu would take the children, who felt sleepy after eating, home.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Cuiniang quickly handed over the wild boar meat she had prepared earlier.

"I'm going to save it for making dumplings for the kids during the New Year, so I can't refuse it.

Go back and have a rest, you have been busy all day."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Liu expressed her gratitude and did not refuse. After all, there was a bond between the two families.

After seeing off Aunt Liu and her family, the Leng family members went back to their rooms to rest after digesting their meal.

Zhang Cuiniang was worried about the wild boar meat in the kitchen, so she went to check whether it was covered tightly before going to bed to prevent it from being taken away by a wild cat.

When she returned to the room, Leng Su, Leng Yan and Leng He on the kang had already lined up in their quilts, with only their heads sticking out.

Seeing this, Zhang Cui Niang stepped forward and tucked the corners of the quilt for them with a smile, "Go to sleep quickly."

After saying this, Zhang Cuiniang blew out the oil lamp and lay down in bed.

The room fell into darkness, but soon the sound of even breathing could be heard beside the pillow.

Leng Yan listened carefully and estimated that it was only around seven or eight o'clock. She was used to going to bed late in her previous life, so she couldn't fall asleep for a while, but she didn't dare to toss and turn.

It is still not very convenient for several people to sleep in one room, as there is no private space at all.

Leng Yan was thinking about making a lot of money and building a big house in the future, and while thinking about it, she fell into a deep sleep without knowing when.

After breakfast the next day, Leng Yan saw that she couldn't finish the wild boar meat. Although it wouldn't go bad in the cold weather, she thought it would be better to pickle some, which would allow it to be stored for a long time and also give it a different flavor.

Leng Yan did what she said and immediately asked her mother for help. Zhang Cuiniang did some calculations and found that apart from a pork hind leg given to your Aunt Yuemei, the remaining three or four families each donated more than two kilograms.

In this way, we can keep some for our own consumption and pickle about 70 to 80 kilograms.

Leng Yan nodded. After making up her mind, she asked her mother to cut the wild boar meat into long strips.

Then she saw the pig offal that had been cleaned yesterday, so she asked her aunt and younger sister to help blanch it in the pot so that they could be braised together later.

After giving the instructions, she took out the spices she had bought earlier, prepared a recipe for pickled bacon and braised food, and then fried the spices until fragrant.

Afterwards, Leng Huai and Leng Cang helped pour the spices into the stone mortar and crush them, while asking curiously why so many ingredients were needed to marinate meat and why they had never seen it before.

Upon hearing this, Leng Yan just smiled and said, "You'll know when it's done."

After everything is prepared, you can pickle the bacon.

Except for Leng Xun who was unable to get out of bed, all the family members came to help. Leng Yan taught them how to apply the seasoning while making sure not to use too much.

It’s easier to work with more people, and in just a short while, all 80 kilograms of bacon were pickled.

The bacon with the seasoning needs to be marinated for a few more days, then it is neatly arranged in a basin and brought into the kitchen cupboard, to be taken out and dried in the sun after a few days.

Finally, the work was done. Leng Yan clapped his hands, and put the marinade recipe he had just prepared and the pork offal into the pot to marinate.

After doing all this, before she had time to breathe a sigh of relief, she heard Dahuang's cry, as if someone was outside the yard gate.
