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

Li Yuemei couldn't digest it for a while. When she saw Leng Yan frying tofu and adding four or five spoons of lard, she suddenly felt that the world was spinning.

Li Yuemei vaguely remembered that before the family split up, she felt bad for the children who had no oil in their meals every day. So one day when she was cooking, she put half a spoonful of lard, a little more than usual, and her mother-in-law saw it.

From then on, her mother-in-law cursed her for being a spendthrift and greedy every day. Every time she cooked, her mother-in-law would even refuse to let her add oil or salt.

"Wow, it smells so good!"

The tofu is fried in lard and becomes golden on both sides. It tastes so fragrant that you can't help but swallow your saliva.

The four children of the Liu family had never seen the tofu cooked this way, let alone smelled such delicious tofu. They were so greedy that their mouths were watering.

Farmers usually boil tofu in water. Even Li Yuemei, who was standing by, was secretly swallowing her saliva when she saw this.

After Leng Yan took the fried tofu out of the pan, he started to stir-fry the pork with peppers. The four people, mother and her two children, felt their stomachs rumbling with hunger.

There was not enough time to cook the soup, so Leng Yan put the packaged sour plum soup ingredients into the pot and cooked a big pot. Finally, while they were not paying attention, he bought a large piece of old rock sugar from the mall and put it into the pot to continue boiling.

Seeing that the workers were about to go home, Leng Yan served out some food and let the younger ones eat in the kitchen first.

The rest of the workers set up tables and put bowls and chopsticks in the yard and served meals to the workers in the same way as in the canteen.

The new house was being built right next to it, so the workers on duty had already smelled the fragrance wafting from the kitchen.

At this moment, Leng Yan, Li Yuemei, Liu Bangbang and Liu Hehe, who had just finished work and set up the meal, saw the crowd rushing in like hungry wolves.

The workers, with golden eyes, saw two large bowls full of greasy dishes, one meat and one vegetable. The pork in the stir-fried pork with peppers was especially filling, with more pork than peppers, and it was cut into large slices. Just thinking about eating that piece of soft, glutinous and crispy pork made them feel particularly satisfied.

"Line up, line up, everyone line up!"

As the foreman, Zhan Hu had to try his best to maintain order even though he was tempted.

Seeing this, Leng Yan thought that the scene of eating in the school cafeteria was probably just like this.

"Come one by one. We have everything. Take a bowl here, three pancakes per person, a large iron spoon of stir-fried pork with peppers, and a large iron spoon of fried tofu. If it's not enough, you can come back for more!"

When the workers heard this and saw that there was so much stir-fried pork with peppers in the big spoonful, they were all grateful to the Leng family for giving them a delicious and filling meal.

To be honest, just for such good food, they will definitely work hard, otherwise it would be a shame to have such good food.

The crowd echoed in agreement as they took a bite of the food.

I just feel that the fried brown pork belly slices, paired with slightly spicy chili, are a perfect match made in heaven. It is even more delicious when you eat it.

Everyone was stunned by the aroma. It tasted good, had plenty of oil, and was full from the big pork. Oh my god, this was too blissful.

When the workers had almost finished eating, Leng Yan and his companions brought out some sour plum soup and served each of them a bowl.

The weather is not too hot right now, so the warm sour plum soup is just right.

"Oh my god, what is this? It tastes sour and sweet and it's really delicious!"

The workers sat on the ground or squatted in the corners in groups of three or four. After finishing their meals happily, they had a bowl of sour plum soup and burped with satisfaction.

"Uncle Zhan, this is made from sour plum soup, hawthorn and other medicinal herbs. It has the effects of relieving heat, stimulating appetite and resisting fatigue."

Leng Yan saw that his bowl was almost empty, so he said, "Uncle Zhan, there's still some sour plum soup in the pot. I'll give you another bowl."

"Okay, okay!" Zhan Hu chuckled when he heard that, "Uncle likes to drink this sweet and sour drink."

Seeing this, Leng Yan thought that Uncle Zhan was really cute in contrast. The fierce and burly man was actually a silly boy who loved sweets.

After the workers have eaten and drunk their fill, they take a short rest for half an hour before going back to work.

Leng Yan, Li Yuemei and others finally had some free time to go to the dining room to eat.

"Grandpa, we'll clean up the bowls and chopsticks later. Let's finish eating first!"

Mr. Leng was helping out just now and didn’t have time to eat.

“Oh, okay.

Several people were already starving, and the four kids who had eaten their fill in the kitchen saw this and hurriedly brought small stools for them to sit on.

Leng Yan was so hungry that she couldn't be hungrier, so she immediately grabbed the bowl and started to eat.

The mixed noodle pancake with fried pork with chili was so delicious that I was overwhelmed by the aroma.

The green peppers are grown at home. The pork is sliced ​​with both fat and lean parts, put into the pan and stir-fried to release the fat, then the peppers are added and stir-fried. The combination of the two is a perfect match.

If he had another bowl of rice, Leng Yan could finish three bowls in one go.

Li Yuemei, Liu Bangbang and Liu Hehe, mother and son, who were standing nearby, could not help but smell the delicious food when they were serving lunch to the workers.

When the food entered their mouths, the three of them felt that the meals they had eaten before were not really meals. They were just like pure water, with the same taste.

This meal is rich in fat and has a moderate salty and fragrant taste. Both the pork and the tofu have their own unique flavor characteristics, which makes people want to eat it again.

However, these days, farmers seldom have enough to eat. In winter, they have two meals a day, and in spring, summer and autumn, they have three meals a day, but the portions are not much.

Often, after not having enough to eat, I start looking forward to the next meal.

Therefore, Li Yuemei, her mother and her two children ate until they were about 60% full. Although they wanted to eat more, they were too embarrassed to eat any more.

The two younger ones, Liu Songsong and Liu Xiangxiang, ate without any consideration, but Li Yuemei and the two more sensible children knew about it.

The Leng family was kind-hearted and asked them to come with their families to help and provided them with a meal, but only a few of them were actually able to work.

Leng Yan did this just to take care of them. Li Yuemei knew it and was very grateful.

Therefore, right after finishing the meal, Li Yuemei took her two older children and started cleaning up and washing the dishes.

Seeing this, Leng Yan came to help, but Li Yuemei asked her to go and have a rest, saying that they would be able to handle it.

"Sister Yan, go take a rest. You've been running around the city for half a day this morning and cooked for so many people. Don't get too tired and stop growing."

Leng Yan wasn't actually that tired, but when she heard that she wouldn't grow taller, she immediately put down the work in her hands.

"Yes, sister, go and take a rest, we will help you wash it."

Leng He, Liu Xiangxiang and other children had finished their meal early, so they cleaned up the workers' bowls and chopsticks while Leng Yan and others were eating.

The four little ones loved playing in the water, so they were squatting beside the basin and helping to wash the dishes. Zhan Jiang, who was resting nearby, saw this and helped them fetch water from the well.

Looking at this heartwarming scene, Leng Yan suddenly understood the ordinary life with small bridges, flowing water and people living there.

The warm sunshine in late spring and early summer was very comfortable, so Leng Yan brought a small stool and sat under the porch, taking a rare relaxing and comfortable nap with his eyes closed.

After Li Yuemei helped Leng He, Liu Xiangxiang and others wash the dishes in the wooden basin, she waved and asked the younger ones to come over.

Then she took out a basket of shells from the house and showed it to them.
