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

The model Leng Yan used was a square lunch box with a lid that she had customized at Carpenter Chu's house. She kept some to hold soap.

Because it is rectangular, when you cut the soap, you can evenly cut it into six pieces of soap of the same size, which will be very convenient to use.

Taking skin care into consideration, Leng Yan bought a lot of propolis, coconut oil flower essential oil and the like in the mall, and made several skin care soaps according to the instructions.

In order to distinguish, the wild flowers that Leng Yan had just picked came in handy. Each model of soap with different uses was labeled with different flowers and colors.

After working for an entire afternoon and putting all the soap pastes into the mold, Leng Yan was so tired that she didn't even want to lift her fingers.

Zhang Cuiniang loved her daughter so much that she didn't have to touch the apricots she picked in the afternoon. She just had to tell them how to pickle them.

Fortunately, it was not difficult. After Leng Yan gave a general explanation, Zhang Cuiniang and Leng Su, together with Leng Huai and Leng Cang, finished pickling the meat in no time.

It was a lot of honey, and there was not a drop left in several large jars.

Zhang Cuiniang was so distressed that she was weeping. Honey was much more expensive than brown sugar. She didn't know if it would be wasted if she used it to pickle these not-so-delicious wild sour apricots.

"Mom, I'm hungry. I bought sea bass this morning. Let's steam it and eat it tonight."

Seeing what her mother was thinking, Leng Yan quickly changed the subject.

After all, she couldn't say that the honey was bought in the mall. Compared with the current era, the price was much cheaper.

"You, you..."

Zhang Cuiniang saw that she couldn't do anything about her situation, and felt sorry for her daughter going hungry, so she quickly packed up and called her husband to cook dinner together.

Now Leng Xun wants to learn how to be a chef, so Zhang Cuiniang prepares meals for the employees in the shop and at home, while Leng Xun is the one who teaches.

Leng Xun seldom cooked before, so he learned much more slowly than Zhang Cuiniang, who could learn things quickly.

But Leng Xun is very strong and can lift the iron pot on the stove. The couple works together, which is really like a man and a woman working together without getting tired.

Leng Yan originally wanted to stand by and give instructions on how to steam the sea bass, but upon seeing this, she tactfully left the kitchen, leaving enough space for the two of them.

The sea bass is delicious. After being simply steamed, it is sprinkled with scallion oil and some soy sauce. The taste is so good that the whole family can't stop eating it.

"Mmm, delicious, delicious. The fish is so fresh, not fishy at all, and tastes really good."

"Yeah yeah!"

The family nodded continuously, and Leng Su suddenly remembered something, "Oh, Sister Yan, I almost forgot..."

Leng Su looked at Leng Yan and asked, "--Do you still remember the scholar Sheng who came with Scholar Xiao from the academy in town?"

"It's the scholar Sheng whose grandmother loves to eat fish."

Leng Yan had a good memory. When she heard that, she immediately associated her mind with Sheng Yuxing, who had packed two servings of steamed fish fillets with garlic for his grandmother in a lunch box.

"Yes, it's him."

Leng Su nodded and continued, "When he came to the shop to eat today, he specifically asked if we would accept him. He wanted to invite you to be in charge of the banquet for his grandmother's birthday.

Mr. Sheng also said that the price was negotiable, and he only hoped that his filial piety could be fulfilled.

After Leng Su conveyed the words, she still felt a little uneasy. After all, she had never done it before and was unsure, and it seemed bad to refuse.

Leng Yan pondered for a while after hearing this, and felt a little conflicted. She had no problem preparing the banquet and drawing up the menu for the birthday party. She had done this in a restaurant in her previous life. It just took some time and effort.

It's just that the family shop has been too busy recently, and with the cooperation with Shen Qingfu, Leng Yan is really overwhelmed for the time being.

So she thought for a moment and asked, "Did anyone say when the birthday party will be held?"

"Early May." Leng Su replied.

The house will be completed by the end of April, and the shop can be closed for a day, so there will be enough time.

"Okay then, let's just accept it."

After all, if you have the money, you’d be a fool not to make it. A birthday party might be able to open up wider sales channels for them.

After discussing the matter, the family still got up early the next day and went about their busy days calmly.

The only thing that broke the peace was the festive sound of firecrackers on that day.

After Leng Yan had breakfast early in the morning, he carried a basket and went into the city to buy ingredients for today's workers' meals.

It would be more accurate to say that Leng Yan bought it from the mall rather than saying that he went to buy it.

There were no refrigerators in this era and meat was difficult to store. There were many workers every day and the demand was huge, so Leng Yan had to make several trips to get it.

But sometimes she also disliked the trouble of going back and forth, so today she bought everything from the mall and put it in a basket, and then took advantage of the time difference to wander around the mountain, exercising and seeing if she could find anything good.

Anyway, the big yellow dogs were at her disposal. She could use them to lead the way and avoid any danger in time.

Today, Leng Yan was carrying his things down the mountain to go home when he heard the sound of firecrackers coming from the village.

She asked Li Yuemei who came to help in confusion, "Auntie, who's having a happy event in the village today?"

"Uh……"

Li Yuemei looked unnatural for a moment, and she and her daughter Liu Hehe pretended to be busy for a while before stammering, "It's that Sun family, Sun Tongsheng's family..."

"Sun Caiwen is getting married today!"

Leng Yan reacted and exclaimed.

Li Yuemei nodded stiffly, "That's right, it was a big deal.

The Sun family’s newly built ten-plus blue brick and tile houses were all covered with red silk cloth, and I heard that they invited master chefs from all over the country to prepare the feast, and the fish and meat were very sumptuous.”

Out of concern for Leng's feelings and fear that she would be sad and unhappy, Li Yuemei wanted to hide it from Leng's family from the beginning.

However, the Sun family at the head of the village made such a big scene that the Leng family could hear it clearly even at the end of the village.

"Fortunately, your aunt went to the shop today. It's better to avoid her so as not to be sad."

"Ah, auntie, my aunt won't be sad for someone like that."

Leng Yan heard this and smiled calmly, "My family didn't know about the Sun family's wedding today. If she had known in advance, my aunt might have wanted to join in the fun."

After all, being able to see the true colors of the Sun family in advance is a good thing for Leng Su and the Leng family, but it may not be the case for outsiders.

Therefore, due to tacit understanding, the villagers remembered the good things about the Leng family and kept the matter of the Sun family a secret intentionally or unintentionally.

After all, one family is breaking off an engagement while the other is getting married, and the gap between the two families is blocked there. In the eyes of the villagers, it only adds to their troubles after they know about it.
