When the man saw this, he immediately softened his attitude, walked forward with a smile and stuffed a few copper coins into the hands of each of them.

"If that's the case, have you ever been to the kitchen of Xianju Pavilion? Have you ever seen any strange vegetables, such as silver sprouts?"

The man's face was full of expectation and his words were coaxing.

"Silver... What are silver sprouts? Can they be eaten?"

Leng Yan frowned in confusion and turned sideways to ask Leng Cang beside him.

"Brother, have you seen it?"

Leng Cang shook his head smartly upon hearing this, "No, but I know that the kitchen in Xianju Pavilion is very strictly guarded. I was not allowed to go in even when I wanted to ask for a bowl of water."

The man agreed with what he heard, otherwise he wouldn't be so desperate and try all kinds of methods to find out information by pulling someone over.

It's because Xianju Pavilion was on guard this time, and they couldn't get any personnel to Tianxiang Tower.

It seems that we have to think of other ways, the man thought, and waved his hand to let them go.

The Leng family members, who had earned a few copper coins for nothing, turned around and left without even stopping.

Anyway, the recipe for growing silver sprouts has been given to Xianju Pavilion, so their family will no longer need to send silver sprouts to Xianju Pavilion. As long as the two parties don't tell anyone, the people in Tianxiang Tower will never know the origin of the silver sprouts.

The matters of Xianju Pavilion had been settled, and as the New Year was approaching, Leng Yan discussed with his grandfather about buying New Year's goods together on this trip.

After all, the weather is cold, and I don’t have to send silver sprouts to Xianju Pavilion in the future. It would be better to buy them all today so I don’t have to run back and forth anymore.

Old Master Leng had no objection when he heard this, and several of them carried baskets and went to the West Market.

I walked around and bought some candies, cakes, melon seeds, peanuts, and Spring Festival couplets and firecrackers.

In previous years, our family was poor and we only bought a few firecrackers for the sake of tokenism. This year, we bought more, which made Leng Cang and the other boys very happy.

Finally, after visiting the grain store, Leng Yan pestered Old Man Leng and not only bought some flour, but also weighed ten kilograms of rice.

She has not eaten rice in such a long time since she came here, and she misses it a lot.

After buying everything, Leng Yan bought a few strings of candied haws. Then the group went to the city gate and took a ox cart home.

On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, Leng Yan took down two pieces of bacon that were drying under the eaves, washed them and saved them for tomorrow's New Year's Eve dinner.

Zhang Cuiniang and Leng Su were also busy shredding the radish and preparing to fry some radish balls.

Seeing this, Leng Yan also cut some pork strips, marinated and seasoned them, and fried some crispy meat nearby.

Seeing the golden crispy meat floating in the oil pan and smelling the aroma makes your mouth water.

"Wow, it smells so good, what is this, big sis?"

The little twins were circling around the stove, completely dazzled by the aroma.

"Yes, yes, it smells better than carrot balls, and it tastes better!"

In previous years, because my family was poor and afraid of wasting oil, we didn’t even want to fry radish balls for the New Year, which made the two little ones very greedy.

"This is called Crispy Pork. It tastes crispy and fragrant, so it's called Crispy Pork. Try it."

As Leng Yan spoke, he used a strainer to scoop out the oil. After it had dried for a while, he handed one to each person.

Leng Yan added thirteen spices bought from the mall and oyster sauce to the crispy pork, but he did not dare to use special powder for crispy pork. Instead, he used flour instead. Unexpectedly, the taste was surprisingly good.

The fried crispy pork is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. When you bite it, you will find it juicy and tasty. The outer shell is fragrant and crispy. It is simply delicious.

Everyone ate and praised the food, marveling at how amazing Leng Yan was.

The crispy pork is not only delicious when eaten alone, but also tastes even better when cooked into soup.

During the New Year’s Eve dinner, Leng Yan cooked a bowl of crispy pork soup, which tasted delicious. After the crispy pork absorbed the soup, it lost its crispiness but became more fragrant and flavorful.

The Leng family’s New Year’s Eve dinner was richer than ever before.

Stewed pork elbow, braised fish, sweet and sour spare ribs, radish and chicken nuggets, fried bacon, hot and sour cabbage, crispy meat soup, pork and cabbage dumplings.

Finally, Leng Yan cooked another pot of bacon rice. When it was served on the table, the whole family couldn't suppress their joy.

The joy of the New Year begins early in the morning with cleaning, making paste, pasting Spring Festival couplets, preparing meals and making dumplings.

It can be said that the busyness of this day is all for the anticipation of this reunion dinner, and it can also be said that the hard work of this year is all for this reunion dinner.

After dinner, the family sat together, staying up all night while eating fruits, cracking melon seeds and chatting about family matters.

At this time, Zhang Cuiniang and Leng Su also distributed the new clothes they had made earlier to everyone so that everyone could wear new clothes early the next morning.

Tonight, everyone in the family fell asleep with new clothes on their pillows, hoping that everyone will have a good dream in the coming year.

After the New Year, the time will pass quickly.

In the blink of an eye, the ice and snow have melted, all things have revived, and the wild vegetables on the mountain are even greener.

That day, Leng Yan was digging wild vegetables on the hillside with his younger brother and sister.

The eldest brother Leng Cang ran over hurriedly, carrying firewood on his back.

"Big sister, little sister, little brother, I just met Brother Zhan Jiang when I was chopping wood. He told me that there are many ships from the south shipping at the river dock these two days, and they are carrying a lot of things. He asked me if I wanted to go and take a look."

Leng Cang's face was full of excitement, "In previous years, when my father was working at the dock, he would take us to see the big ships.

But this year my father’s leg was injured, so he can’t work at the dock, and he can’t take us to see the big ships.”

His little face was filled with sorrow, and he fell in an instant.

When Leng Yan heard this, the first thing he thought of was the river shipping terminal. There must be a lot of people there, so maybe he could find some small business to do.

Ever since we reached cooperation with Xianju Pavilion, my family has been free.

It's not so bad to hibernate when the weather is cold, but now that spring has arrived, I have to find some small business to do so as not to live off my savings.

She was too reckless before. She didn't understand the struggle among these forces and rushed in rashly.

Fortunately, she was lucky and managed to show some signs of success without affecting the rules.

Especially after she knew that Tianxianglou would rather die in glory than live in disgrace, she felt that it was foresighted.

She has always known that the recipe for growing silver sprouts would not be kept secret for long, and someone would be able to figure it out.

But she could never have imagined that Tianxianglou was so tyrannical that they would resort to methods that would hurt the enemy by a thousand and hurt themselves by eight hundred just to get the recipe for growing silver sprouts. She was even more glad that she had gotten rid of it early.

But she never expected that Tianxiang Tower would use tough measures to force Xianju Pavilion to leak the recipe for growing silver sprouts.

As a result, the recipe is now known to every restaurant and even to ordinary people in every household in the city.

There are originally few vegetables in winter, but now there are affordable silver sprouts, which every household can make. Not only can it add color to the vegetables, but it can also develop business opportunities in surrounding counties and towns.

Those who are smart have already made a fortune by selling silver sprouts to surrounding towns during the New Year period.
