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

The last time Leng Yan came over, one reason was to establish a relationship with him and bargain for the price, and the other was to get information about the prices for the bricks and tiles in advance when he wanted to build a house.

I specifically told Boss Tao that I was planning to build a house, and also said that I wanted to do long-term business and would buy bricks from him in the future. Only then did the boss give me a preferential price.

“No bricks are being bought today.”

Leng Yan shook his head. "I want to order a batch of things. I wonder if Boss Tao can make them?"

"Oh~ I wonder what it is?"

Mr. Tao, the boss of the porcelain workshop, showed some interest.

"I'm painting for Mr. Tao. Please lend me the ink, paper, inkstone, and paint."

"How difficult is this?"

Boss Tao said this and led them into the hall.

Old Master Leng had no idea what his granddaughter was going to do, so he could only follow closely behind.

After a while, a waiter brought paper and pen. Leng Yan smoothed the paper, held the brush stiffly, and started writing with difficulty.

I think of her skillful hands, which enable her to lift pots, carve patterns and cut into strips very nimbly.

But now it is really difficult to write holding the unfamiliar brush.

Fortunately, she had some skills in drawing comics in her previous life, so she didn't end up with such a weird drawing now.

"Is this a pig?"

Boss Tao spoke uncertainly.

Leng Yan nodded and then drew a few more pictures.

"How, can it be baked?"

Boss Tao looked at each of the pictures in amazement, and finally called the craftsmen to look at them together.

"It's not difficult to bisque-fire and glaze, but I've never seen these shapes before, so throwing the pottery in the early stages may be a little slower."

After checking it, the craftsman gave a definite answer.

"These are not a problem. Slow work produces fine work. The masters are all craftsmen, so they naturally strive for perfection."

Leng Yan expressed his understanding, then turned to discuss the price with Boss Tao and signed the documents.

After everything was done, the grandfather and grandson took a ox cart back to Lengzhan Village.

When they got home, Leng Qi Leng He was in the yard, releasing the chickens, ducks and geese from the cages to let them bask in the sun and eat grass.

Da Huang, who was standing next to Leng Xun, was sleeping lazily.

"Grandpa, sister, you are back!"

Seeing them coming back, the two little ones came out to greet them chirping.

"Sister, mother, my uncle, aunt, and eldest brother have gone up the mountain to pick wild vegetables.

Mother also asked us to tell my sister that the grass carp we bought today have been cleaned up and the fish soaking and fish offal have also been kept."

Leng Yan responded with a smile and hurried to the kitchen.

Old Man Leng was looking at the chickens, ducks and geese that had grown a lot, and thought that he would take advantage of his free time to build a chicken coop and duck house today.

Leng Laoer was cutting wood roots at the same time. Upon hearing this, he also helped with his wooden crutch.

He is feeling much better now, and drinks bone soup every day. I guess he won't need the wooden crutch in a few days.

On the other side, Leng Yan entered the kitchen and bought some spices from the mall. After mixing them according to the proportions, he evenly spread them on the grass carp.

After everything is ready, she puts it into a wooden barrel to marinate for a few days, then takes it out to dry in the sun to make cured fish.

After storing the pickled fish, the bacon pickled a few days ago can be taken out and dried in the sun.

Considering that they are a family, they are not at home half of the day.

Leng Yan didn't dare to hang so much bacon under the eaves for fear that it would be stolen.

So she found a hemp rope, stepped on a stool, tied the rope around the wood on the beam, and hung all the bacon on the kitchen stove.

The bacon pickled in this way will have a smoky flavor and taste more fragrant.

After everything was done, she continued to clean the fish bubbles and dry them in the sun, and buried the fish in the backyard to fatten them.

Later, seeing that it was still early, Leng Yan carried a basket and a machete on his back, preparing to go up the mountain to cut some cypress and fruit tree branches.

Carrying it back can be used for firewood, and the smoked bacon will taste better.

Seeing that she was going up the mountain, Leng Qi and Leng He also wanted to follow her, but they had to take care of the chickens, ducks and geese, so in the end only Da Huang followed Leng Yan with his tail wagging.

Leng Yan has been to the mountain many times and is already familiar with the route.

After a while, she saw several wild apricot trees that were already in bloom in the spring. Leng Yan noted their locations and cut off a few branches, thinking that she would come back to pick the fruits when they were ripe.

Then she chopped some cypress wood and filled the basket until it was full before she prepared to go down the mountain.

Leng Yan saw that there was no one around and was about to buy a few pheasants from the mall, but after thinking about it, he changed his mind to rabbits.

We always catch pheasants, it’s time to change the taste this time.

While she was pondering, she checked the balance in the mall and found that there was only 420 grams and 8 cents left.

Of course, this is just her own small private treasury. The income and dividends from the shop are usually collected by her mother.

Leng Yan was so engrossed in his thoughts that he was suddenly brought back to his senses by the barking of a dog.

Dahuang held his tail between his legs and took a few steps back. Although the dog's face showed no expression, Leng Yan could see the word "fear".

She followed the dog's eyes to look, only to find that Dahuang's fur had all stood up, and he was staring straight at the three fat rabbits that appeared out of thin air in her hand.

"rhubarb……"

Leng Yan stretched out his hand and was about to say something, but Da Huang ran away with his tail between his legs.

The first time she caught a pheasant, she was sent away by Da Huang, and this time she forgot about it.

"This...it won't be told to others, right?"

Leng Yan's mind was wide open and his thoughts had just deviated a little, but then he reacted again.

People can't understand dog language, so even if Dahuang is gossipy, the objects of his gossip can only be his dog brothers.

After figuring all this out, Leng Yan relaxedly carried the basket down the mountain. When she passed the foot of the mountain, she went to the secret base where she had dug wild vegetables before.

Sure enough, there she saw her mother, uncle, aunt, and elder brother.

"Rabbit, what a fat rabbit!"

Before Leng Yan could say anything, Leng Cang saw her first and ran up to her in a few steps.

"Big sister, this is the rabbit you caught! You are so awesome!"

Leng Cang is a sister-con to begin with, and the look he gave Leng Yan this time was sparkling with dazzling light.

"Um ."

Leng Yan nodded vaguely, "I went to the mountain to chop wood and accidentally found a rabbit nest. I lit a few fires and smoked the rabbits out."

"Wow, big sister, you are so awesome. Take me with you next time!"

Leng Cang acted coquettishly with her out of envy, which made Zhang Cuiniang and others beside him unable to bear to watch.

Leng Yan responded vaguely, and the group went down the mountain and returned home.

"Sister Yan, this rabbit's fur is so smooth and clean without a single stray hair. The fur alone can fetch a lot of money."

Leng Su held a rabbit in his arms and kept stroking its snow-white fur.

"Auntie, we won't sell this fur. We'll keep it for making scarves in the winter."

Leng Yan said with a smile, "My aunt is beautiful. It will definitely look great when I give it to her."

Leng Su joked with her with a smile, saying that she was disrespectful.

When they got home, laughing and joking all the way, Da Huang, who had just run away, was lying listlessly at the door. When he saw Leng Yan, he shuddered inexplicably.

No one else noticed, but Leng Yan walked up and touched Dahuang's head, and then Dahuang ran away.

Leng Yan didn't care, since she would be back by dinner time anyway.

When the little twins saw their sister catch the rabbit, they jumped for joy and said they wanted to raise it.
