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

It's good to take this step. Now that you have started a food business, there will be many days for you to be independent in the future. It's better to grow up early so that you won't be a burden to your daughter in the future.

Leng Yan, who was busy making sauce-flavored pancakes nearby, felt relieved when seeing this and realized even more deeply the importance of family affection.

Before they could even express their admiration, the diners over there heard that they were only sold for a few days and rushed to buy one or two to try.

"Yes, it is fragrant and a little sweet, delicious!"

"Yes, yes, it's chewy and fragrant, and tastes better than that mixed flour steamed bread!"

After tasting the elm seed steamed bread, some diners couldn't stop praising it, saying that the taste was different from any other taste and it was truly a taste that was only available in spring.

The new product was very popular, and the Leng family was very happy. If there were diners eating breakfast in the shop, they would order a steamed bun with elm money, accompanied by a sauce-flavored cake or a pan-fried bun.

The take-away items are packed in batches of five or ten, and you can tell at a glance that they are meant to be taken home and eaten by the family.

Seeing this, Leng Yan thought that Qingming Festival was approaching, so he would go to the mountain to pick some mugwort leaves and make mugwort cakes, which he thought would be very popular.

After a busy morning, Leng Yan thought that the dishes for lunch were not yet prepared, so she wanted to go to the market to see if there were any fresh ingredients.

While it was still early, Leng Yan took her aunt, uncle and eldest brother to the vegetable market.

They first went to the grain store and bought a lot of rice and flour, and asked the waiter to deliver the goods to Lengji Snack Shop.

Rice and flour were used up quickly these days, so Leng Yan negotiated a cooperation agreement with the grain store owner to deliver the goods to the door regularly, which was more convenient and saved money.

Afterwards, they went to the vegetable market to buy some vegetables.

The vegetable market is very busy just after dawn, with people walking and stopping, and the shouts of vegetable vendors can be heard everywhere.

What they sell are seasonal wild vegetables, which they can dig themselves.

Seeing this, Leng Yan turned and looked towards the meat stall. He wanted to buy more pork, but one of the lunch dishes was fried bracken with bacon, so he decided to make one more meat dish.

After that, she bought some pork belly and prepared to make some braised pork. But thinking that she had already cooked chicken and pork, she went to the fish stall. The grass carp, which was full of pounds, was lively and very fresh. Leng Yan immediately came up with an idea.

After buying a few grass carps and putting them into a basket, they went to a stall and weighed two kilograms of garlic.

Because it was single-headed garlic, the price was more expensive, and I spent sixteen cents for two pounds.

Leng Su was so distressed that she cried. If it weren't for the food business, who would be willing to buy such expensive garlic?

They strolled around for a while, and Leng Yan thought about how his younger brothers and sisters had been feeling unwell recently, so he discussed with his aunt about buying some cakes and fruits to sweeten their stomachs.

My younger brother and sister were only seven or eight years old, an age when people would hate them, but they were sensible enough to work in the shop every day.

Although I am too young to do any heavy work, I will get tired from repeating the same process of cleaning up the dishes and moving them to the backyard, sweeping the floor and wiping the table.

Yesterday Leng Yan was thinking about buying an ox cart to save money, but today he wanted to hire someone to help.

But when Leng Yan thought about the house that had to be built at home, and that his eldest cousin could study in the city, but no one in his family had ever been to school, he became worried.

She thought that earning two or three taels of silver a day was already a lot, but when she calculated it all, it was nothing compared to them.

This family was so poor that every brick and tile had to be built from scratch. It could be said that money was needed everywhere, and plans had to be made for everything, and everything had to be started slowly from scratch.

Leng Yan's anxious heart may be a sign that something bad is going to happen today.

When Leng Su heard that her niece wanted to buy some fruit, she nodded in agreement.

When they arrived at the fruit shop, they specially picked out several kinds of pastries and fruits that children would love and were easy to digest.

Leng Su also asked Leng Huai and Leng Cang next to him to pick some fruits that he liked.

I've been too busy lately, so I bought some more cakes and fruits to fill my stomach when I'm hungry. There are many people in my family, so I don't have to worry about buying more.

After buying the fruits, a few people went to other food shops to have a look. They originally wanted to buy some food to take back so that they wouldn't have to cook when they got home.

But looking at the noodles and wontons sold in the shop, the portions were not big and not easy to pack, so I gave up and went straight back to the shop.

When they returned, Zhang Cuiniang was washing rice and filling several large wooden barrels with steamed rice.

Seeing them come back, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Oh, you guys are back. I was just wondering what to do."

Zhang Cuiniang had already washed, cut and prepared the dishes, but she did not dare to fry them because she was afraid that the taste would be wrong and the diners would not be satisfied.

"It's okay mom, we'll make it in time."

While Leng Yan was comforting herself, she also thought that in the future, she couldn't just rely on herself to cook, and she should try to teach others some.

After figuring this out, she immediately asked her uncle and elder brother to take the grass carps they had bought to the backyard for her father to clean up.

She stayed in the kitchen and tried to teach Zhang Cuiniang how to cook.

"Mom, don't be nervous, just treat it as a normal meal and cook it bravely!"

Although Zhang Cuiniang was used to cooking for the family, doing business was another matter. Seeing that her mother was hesitant to take action, she decided to do it.

Leng Yan also knew that she shouldn't push too hard, so she just had to take it slow.

"Mom, just watch how I make it, and remember the ingredients."

Leng Yan demonstrated as she did it, while Zhang Cuiniang stood beside her, concentrating on taking note of the key points.

There was no time to prepare separate meals for them today, so Leng Yan fried a big pot of bracken and bacon, keeping some for his family to eat with rice, and putting the other half on a tray so that when the guests came, they could have their meal directly.

Seeing that it was getting late, they finished their meal quickly. Not long after, guests started arriving one after another.

Leng Yan in the kitchen was just about to prepare the last dish and soup: steamed fish fillets with garlic and fish head tofu soup.

"Hey, there's a new dish today!"

"Yeah, it looks like fish, and it smells strange."

"It smells good, but I don't like fish because it has too many bones."

Several diners waiting in line were discussing the food while sticking their heads out to see what was on offer today.

"Yeah, yeah, I don't like fish either, but the thing next to the fish seems to be braised pork, it looks greasy and red and it looks delicious."

Several people looked over when they heard the sound and were about to say that it didn't look like braised pork, because braised pork wouldn't be such big and long pieces. But before they could say anything, someone next to them suddenly called them.

"Hey, Wang Lao Er, why are you eating here? This place is so expensive! Let's go to the Li's restaurant in front. Their food tastes good and the portions are large. Most importantly, it's cheaper than this one."

The man called Wang Lao Er knew the Li Family Food Store ahead, and he said as soon as he heard it:

"I've been to his restaurant before, and it tastes good, but I don't want to eat noodles. I want to eat Lengji's rice."

Wang Lao Er waved his hand, which was considered as a refusal. Unexpectedly, the man said again.

"Yes, we have rice with toppings!

I just ate there. Li's Food Store also offers rice topped with gravy, and there are many dishes to choose from. Most importantly, the price is cheap."

The man talked incessantly and praised the place to the sky, which really made the crowd queuing in front of the Leng family's door excited.
