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

After a short rest, Leng Xun, who was washing dishes in the backyard, finished washing the dishes on hand in an orderly manner, but saw that the dishes were not delivered in time, so he had to go to check on them with the help of his crutches.

When they learned that all the things prepared in the shop were sold out and they made a net profit of about eight or nine cents, they were all shocked and very happy.

What he earned that morning was almost as much as he earned in a month working at the dock.

The whole family was immersed in the joy of making money. After resting for a while, Leng Yan took her mother and sister-in-law to the kitchen to cook some food, while the others stayed in the hall to clean, pick and wash vegetables.

Because they also had to sell rice for lunch, Leng Yan steamed all the rice at once. She estimated the flow of people and steamed two large wooden barrels of rice.

Fortunately, there are many stoves in the kitchen, otherwise I would be too busy to handle it.

Afterwards, she cooked a few dishes in another pan, and the family had brunch with the rice.

After a short rest after dinner, the family started preparing for lunch.

For lunch, Leng Yan wanted to sell rice with gravy first, but for dock workers, eating out first and foremost requires speed, convenience, good taste and fillingness.

Therefore, Leng Yan would fry the toppings for the rice first, and when customers placed orders, he would serve them whatever they wanted, just like serving food in the cafeteria in his previous life. However, he would never be nervous and would ensure both quality and quantity.

Zhang Cuiniang and Leng Su also thought this method was very good. No matter how many people there were, there would not be any chaos, and the food could be served quickly.

Because it was the first day, Leng Yan only prepared two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, fried bacon with bracken, mapo tofu, pork belly slices fried with wild garlic, and fried tofu with wild onions, all of which were delicious in color, aroma and taste.

She fried a few dumplings in a custom-made tray before the dock workers got off work, and moved them to the custom-made cabinet in the hall, where she placed them together with the rice.

The aroma of the food quickly attracted many people. The guests who had eaten the sauce-flavored pancakes and pan-fried dumplings in the morning trusted their taste and were the first to ask about the price.

"Girl, how do you sell this food?"

Leng Yan had already marked the price in his mind, and he answered immediately after hearing this, "Sir, we sell rice with toppings. A portion of meat is eight cents, a portion of vegetarian is six cents, and a combination of one meat and one vegetable is seven cents."

This price is actually not expensive, after all, the prices of rice and pork are there.

Someone in the crowd was already interested, so he stepped forward to buy one to try, "Then I want one meat and one vegetable."

After paying seven cents, the man chose fried pork belly with wild garlic and pan-fried tofu with wild onions.

Then they saw Leng Yan take a plate, put three large spoonfuls of rice on it, and half a spoonful of stir-fried vegetables each, and poured them on the rice.

Seeing the white and smooth rice topped with meat slices and tofu, and the oily soup soaking through the rice, you can imagine how delicious and satisfying it would be to take a bite of it.

The crowd watching, seeing how voraciously the man was eating, all swallowed their saliva.

Seeing this, the crowd that had hesitated before rushed to line up and order dishes.

Seeing that many people were ordering pan-fried tofu and pork belly with wild garlic, Leng Yan started to promote mapo tofu and fried bracken with bacon.

There were curious people in the crowd asking what kind of meat bacon was, what was the difference between mapo tofu and fried tofu, and why they had never heard of it before.

Leng Yan explained upon hearing this: "Bacon can be understood as a kind of marinated meat pickled with spices. It tastes better and has a richer texture than the bacon we usually pickle, and it tastes more fragrant.

This is our exclusive secret sauce, you will know when you try it.

As for Mapo Tofu, its taste can be summed up in a few words: fresh, spicy, tender and smooth, the taste is absolutely great! ”

After Leng Yan’s promotion for a while, more and more people started ordering these two dishes.

Diners who tried these two dishes for the first time were instantly conquered by them.

"It's delicious. The tofu is so tender and smooth. It's spicy and fresh. I can't stop eating it when I mix it with rice. It goes really well with rice!"

"Yes, yes. Not only is the food served quickly here, but it also tastes great. Especially the bacon. You won't know until you try it. It's so delicious!"

Diners were attracted in one after another, forming a long queue. Seeing that the stir-fried dishes were not enough, Leng Yan went to stir-fry two more times.

Fortunately, despite her small body, she is very strong and it is no problem for her to swing the big spoon, otherwise her arms would have been broken.

After the prepared ingredients were sold out, the full diners were still not satisfied and groaned for not getting to eat, urging them to prepare more ingredients tomorrow.

The Leng family smiled and agreed to everything. After resting, they cleaned up the shop and rushed back home.

After closing the shop, Leng Yan thought that the bacon sold well today and there was not much left at home, so he suggested going to the pork stall, cutting more pork, and pickling more bacon while the weather was not too hot.

The family naturally had no objection and went to cut 80 kilograms of pork belly with a basket on their backs.

They bought a lot and after bargaining with the boss, he only charged 1,150 copper coins, which was 50 cents cheaper, and also gave them several large bones.

Leng Yan took the pork ribs and thought about tomorrow's rice, so he served each customer a bowl of radish and pork bone soup. It could both relieve greasiness and attract customers, and it was really a good idea to kill two birds with one stone.

After buying some other things, the family got on the ox cart. After returning home, Leng Yan began to prepare the spices for pickled bacon.

After everything was done, her mother Zhang Cuiniang and Leng Su stayed at home to pickle the bacon, and then went to Grandma Lin's house in the village to order some tofu.

Old Master Leng is going to take Leng Cang and Leng Huai to apply fertilizer and weed the winter wheat.

Her father Leng Xun was sitting on the porch, trimming wood stakes with a machete. The weather was gradually getting warmer, and the chickens, ducks and geese had grown up. They could no longer be kept in cages, so it was time to build a chicken coop and duck house.

The whole family was busy, so Leng Yan took Leng Qi and Leng He to the mountains to dig wild vegetables for cooking tomorrow.

I want to add a steamed dish to the cold coriander breakfast tomorrow, so I’ll dig up some shepherd’s purse.

The three siblings walked and stopped, and finally found a large patch of shepherd's purse in a ravine. Because there was little light, the shepherd's purse here was particularly fresh and tender.

The three siblings were so happy when they saw this that they started digging hard. Soon they had filled two baskets. After that they also dug a lot of wild onions and garlic and picked a lot of ferns.

Seeing that the basket was almost full and they were about to go down the mountain, Leng Yan turned to the bushes nearby and quietly bought three pheasants from the mall.

'Then he followed the same method and pretended to struggle for a long time before he caught the three pheasants.'

During the struggle, the noise had already attracted Leng Qi and Leng He. They were extremely happy to see their sister catch three pheasants with great difficulty.

"Sister, you are really amazing. You caught another pheasant this time, one more than last time!"

The two little ones surrounded her with starry eyes. Leng Yan waved her hand calmly, still concentrating on the play.

"It's okay. I guess I have both strength and luck. I thought there should be some wild vegetables behind the bushes, but I saw three pheasants fighting there.

I didn't even think about it, I just jumped and pounced, and I caught all the pheasants without them being prepared."

"Wow, my sister is so awesome!"
