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

Leng Yan took a bite of a sausage, tore open the package, broke it into three equal parts, and fed them to the three dogs.

"They say that those who eat others' food are soft-hearted and those who take others' food are short-handed. Now that you have eaten my food, you must let everything you see rot in your stomach. Do you hear me?"

The three dogs were attracted by the aroma of the sausage. After sniffing it carefully, they couldn't help but roll it into their mouths with their tongues.

Leng Yan thought to himself, I can't defeat you guys, but he asked again, "Did you hear me?"

The three dogs were startled by her tone, and after a long while they whimpered.

Leng Yan smiled with satisfaction, peeled the remaining ham and fed it to them.

"Very good, very good. Only if you behave well can you have delicious food. Also, how did you two know each other, and why did you happen to save us on the road..."

Leng Yan didn't care whether they could understand her or not and just kept talking to herself, which scared Leng He who came over.

"Big sister, what are you doing? Why are there two more black dogs? Whose are they?"

Leng Yan said he didn't know, and only said that he met him on the road just now, and he didn't know how he came to his house.

Having said that, she changed the subject. When Mr. Leng and his men came back after reporting to the police, they only said that the county government would do its best to capture the robbers, and as for the result, they could only wait and see.

The Leng family members were a little uneasy when they heard this, fearing that they would be retaliated against.

Things have already happened, and there is no point dwelling on them. Leng Yan thought of the two dogs in the backyard and decided to deal with the current situation first.

So she said: "It was all thanks to the two black dogs in the backyard who helped save me and grandpa.

I saw that they looked like homeless stray dogs, very skinny, and they followed me to my house. It was fate. Why don’t we raise them and let Da Huang have some companions? ”

The family had no objection to hearing this, and instead felt that they should be grateful to the two dogs.

Now that the family is not short of food, it is just right to raise two more dogs, which can guard the house and the yard.

After putting this matter behind us, we started talking about happy things, such as building a house.

"The bricks and tiles have been ordered and will be delivered in three days. We need to prepare everything in the next two days."

Mr. Leng’s opinion was to follow the rules and not demolish the two existing brick houses at home, but to build another house similar to a courtyard house next to them.

That is, several main rooms, several left and right wing rooms, and two old houses are next to each other.

The family had no objection to this, and the old man selfishly wanted to keep the two old houses, actually for his retirement.

The new house can be built any way it wants, as long as his children and grandchildren can live there comfortably and conveniently. However, the old house is the root of this family and has carried too much, so he is reluctant to give it up.

"So how many rooms do we have?"

Leng Qi raised her little hand, wanting a separate room.

This is an issue that has divided opinions among family members.

Leng Yan felt that the budget was sufficient, so he wanted to build more than a dozen rooms so that they would be spacious to live in. It would be best if the kitchen could be rebuilt as well, as the current kitchen was still a little small and not enough.

The most important thing is the toilet and bathroom, which must be rebuilt. Otherwise, your butt will be frozen in the winter and smell bad in the summer. Leng Yan has endured them for a long time.

Summer is coming soon, and she would go crazy if she couldn't take a shower and go to the toilet easily.

After discussing some more things, the family unanimously decided to hire Zhan Hu from next door to be the foreman of the bricklayers.

After dinner, Leng Xun went to the Zhan family next door to tell them about this.

After settling the matters at home, Leng Yan in the shop thought for a while and realized that when the house was built, some people would definitely need to be kept to help with the cooking and making tea, and the shop would definitely be too busy to handle it.

After thinking it over again and again, she decided to hire a few workers. They didn't have to do any complicated work, just washing dishes, picking vegetables, and wiping the tables.

Thinking about building a house at home, they would recruit workers from the village. Leng Yan in the shop wanted to recruit a few temporary workers from the town first, and if they did a good job, they could continue to use them in the future.

If it doesn't work, we can recruit again after this busy period is over.

After making up his mind, Leng Yan asked someone to write a job recruitment notice and posted it in front of the shop the next day.

The morning market had just ended and it was not yet lunchtime, but someone came to apply for a job.

Leng Yan took her mother and sister-in-law to see, and found that there were four or five women in total.

Because it was a temporary and half-day job, Leng Yan paid him 450 wen a month, including two meals, breakfast and lunch.

If it is a festival, gifts will also be distributed.

Of course, this is only a benefit for temporary workers. If they can be converted to regular employees in the future, the salary and benefits will definitely be better.

The women were quite excited when they heard this. It was hard to find such a high wage for half a day's work, with two meals provided.

The women were very satisfied, but Leng Yan had some requirements. Those with dust in their nails or unsatisfactory appearance would not be accepted.

After such screening, only three people were left. Leng Yan asked her mother and aunt to take the three of them to try out for work to see if they could do the work cleanly and efficiently.

It was just about time for lunch, so the three women helped wash the vegetables, scrub the bowls and put away the dishes.

Leng Yan asked her father and mother to prepare lunch.

Ever since Leng Xun's legs and feet recovered, Leng Yan also started to teach his father how to cook.

The shop hasn't found a suitable person yet, and Leng Yan can't stay in the shop all the time, so her parents will have to trouble her.

Fortunately, Aunt Liu and the Leng family trust her, and Leng Yan is also interested in training her. She is slowly teaching her how to make the fillings for breakfast buns, and with Aunt Liu's help, things are a lot easier.

The lunch market is still busy. In addition to rice with various dishes, Leng Yan also launched dumplings stuffed with leeks and eggs.

In spring, there are many crops of leeks, and a lot of them can be harvested in the village every day. If there are not enough leeks for cooking, you can use them to make dumplings, which taste just as delicious.

Some diners who want to change their taste also order food here, and the business is just as good.

After all the busy work, the last batch of guests left.

After the family sat together to discuss it, they asked Aunt Liu and Zhan Ying for their opinions before deciding to keep the two aunts.

"Aunt Yao is a hardworking and honest person. She is also very skillful and washes vegetables cleanly. I think she is a good person."

Zhang Cuiniang gave her observations.

"Yes, yes, that Aunt Yu is not bad either, capable and forthright, she can chat with anyone, and is outgoing and easy to deal with."

Aunt Liu also gave her opinion, and everyone agreed.

As for the other woman, no one needed to observe her, everyone knew what Sima Zhao was thinking. As soon as she entered the backyard, her eyes kept glancing towards the kitchen. Such a person must not be used.

Therefore, Leng Yan gave her ten copper coins as her trial wages, which was considered a polite refusal.

As for the two aunts who stayed behind, they were told the time to go to work the next day and then were allowed to go back first.
