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

After getting off the ox cart, Mr. Leng first made an appointment with the old man driving the cart to return.

Afterwards they went to the river dock and took a general walk around. They saw the street was bustling with vendors, tourists and people. It was really lively.

Especially the people waiting on the river bank, looking at the vast canal and the endless coming and going of ships, were shocked by the two- or three-story large ship that looked like a house.

The little twins next to them stood on tiptoe excitedly, wanting to see farther.

Seeing this, Zhan Hu and his son Zhan Jiang who were standing nearby picked them up and lifted them up high, causing them to laugh in surprise.

After strolling around for a while, the two families separated at an intersection because they wanted to visit different places and agreed to meet at the town entrance in the afternoon.

After the two families separated, Leng Yan, together with his uncle and elder brother, protected his younger brothers and sisters in the middle to prevent them from being separated by the crowd, while Old Man Leng followed at the end, carrying the snacks and toys he had just bought.

Leng Yan looked around as she walked, and the route she chose was filled with food shops and small stalls close to the pier.

She studied and pondered along the way, and also had some ideas in mind.

Hulu Town is as prosperous as Beicheng County because of its river transport terminal. If there is any difference, it is that Hulu Town has more of a down-to-earth atmosphere.

The cries of hawkers along the street, the smoke from food stalls and the wafting aroma of food, as well as the lively atmosphere of dried fruits and goods and acrobatics, make people stop involuntarily.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Leng Yan suggested finding a food stall to have lunch together.

The family, who had been poor and had never eaten out in a restaurant before, were very happy to hear this.

As they walked, they chattered about what to eat for lunch.

"I want to eat big meat buns!"

Leng Qi pointed to the steamed bun stall not far away. The big steamed buns in the steamer were so fragrant that people could not help swallowing their saliva.

"I want some chicken soup wontons!"

Leng He stared at the steaming chicken soup wontons in a wonton shop.

"Grandpa, uncle, brother, what do you want to eat?"

Seeing that they had been silent, Leng Yan said, "We have finally come out here, and having fun is the most important thing.

Besides, a meal doesn’t cost much, so there’s no need to feel bad about it.”

Hearing her say this, the three of them agreed. They had been busy growing silver sprouts recently, and the family had some income. At least they could afford a lunch when they went out to play.

Therefore, they, who were reluctant to spend money, thought about it and then spoke one by one.

"Sister, I want to eat the sesame pancakes over there. They look fragrant and crispy. They must be delicious."

Leng Cang, as the eldest brother of four siblings, licked the corner of his mouth with extra reserve.

Leng Huai wanted to eat the dried vegetable and minced meat pot cake next to it, and Old Man Leng said.

"The mixed flour steamed buns at the intersection ahead, they have great craftsmanship, no one else can make them taste that good.

I used to eat it often when I was working at the docks, but now that I haven’t had it for a while, I really miss it.”

Old Master Leng recalled with emotion.

Upon hearing this, Leng Yan waved her hand and bought all of them. She first asked her grandfather to take her younger brothers and sisters to the wonton shop to reserve a seat.

She took her uncle and older brother and bought big meat buns, sesame cakes, dried vegetable and minced meat pot cakes, and mixed flour steamed buns.

It’s okay if you buy too much and can’t finish it, you can pack it up and take it home.

After the uncle and nephew entered the wonton shop, the six bowls of chicken soup wontons ordered by Grandpa Leng were also served.

After that, the whole family sat around a table, eating chicken soup wontons and sharing big meat buns, sesame cakes and the like.

Leng Yan ate while rating each dish in his mind.

The dried vegetable and minced meat pot cake tastes very good. The dried vegetables are similar to the pickled mustard greens in the previous life, but there is less stuffing and more cake. You have to bite it in small pieces, and the stuffing will disappear after three bites.

And because it was a white flour pancake with minced meat, it sold for four cents each, which could only earn around 60 or 70 cents.

The big meat buns are almost the same, with soft dough but less fillings, which are green onions and pork. The proportion is ? more meat and less, and they sell for three cents each.

There are two sesame buns for one, which are not expensive and taste full of sesame aroma. The only drawback is that in order to save oil, the crust of the bun is less crispy, about 70 or 80 points.

The mixed flour steamed buns taste good, are chewy, and are affordable, costing only one penny each.

As for the chicken soup wontons, Leng Yan felt that it was just acceptable, but there was still the problem of more skin than filling.

Leng Yan was in a ups and downs mood during the meal, and by the time the meal was finally finished, her stomach was already full.

"Wow, I'm so full. Everything tastes good, just like wontons. Not as good as the dumplings my sister makes."

Leng He burped and whispered in Leng Yan's ear.

Leng Yan enjoyed the flattery very much. She reached out and scratched her small nose.

"Little clever devil."

After chatting some more and resting for a while, they paid the bill and left the wonton shop.

After walking for a while, the two kids wanted to go watch street performances. When the family followed the crowd over, they found that the show had just ended.

The two children could not hide their disappointment and walked along the river dock for a while. However, Leng Yan saw a shop door closed with the words "POSH SHOP FOR SUBLET" posted on the door.

Seeing this, Leng Yan hurriedly asked the shop next door about some things.

When she came back, Grandpa Leng saw that his eldest granddaughter was smiling like a flower.

"Sister Yan, why are you so happy?"

Old Man Leng was confused, and the half-grown children beside him were even more confused.

"Grandpa, I want to rent this shop and sell some food. What do you think?"

Leng Yan's words were like thunder out of nowhere, shocking old man Leng so much that he couldn't recover for a while.

"Renting a shop and selling food, is this possible?"

A farmer who has been farming honestly for most of his life really couldn't think of how to open a shop to sell food.

Leng Huai and Leng Cang also looked worried when they heard this.

“It costs a lot of money to open a shop. If you don’t do it well, you will lose money.

"It's possible. As for whether it can be done or not, you have to try it to know. Otherwise, if you don't try, you will never succeed."

Leng Yan nodded firmly, "Although it may be troublesome in the early stage, you will get used to it after slowly getting the hang of it."

"Great, great, sell food, sell food, my sister's cooking skills are so good, she will definitely make a lot of money!"

Leng He didn't understand too many concerns, but she supported Leng Yan 100%. She couldn't help drooling just thinking about the food her sister made, both the food she had seen and the food she hadn't seen before.

Leng Qi looked at this and that, looking extremely conflicted and distressed.

"I listen to my sister."

In the end, he decided to listen to his heart and chose to believe his sister.

He may not know what to be cautious about, let alone understand the big principles, but he knows that since his sister recovered from her illness.

My sister helped the family to become better off. She hunted pheasants and wild boars, and provided the family with three meals a day, ensuring that they had enough food every time.

Later, he came up with the recipe for raw silver sprouts, and led his family to earn money to wear new clothes and eat lots of delicious food.

Therefore, he was particularly determined to have meat to eat with his sister.

It was a tie at 3-3, and Old Master Leng was unsure about what to do. "Go home and ask your mother. She is the housekeeper now, so we need your mother to agree to this."

Old Master Leng was telling the truth. Although he was easily soft-hearted towards children, it would not work if he was the only one who agreed to use the money to open a shop.
