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

Zhang Cui Niang put her hands behind her back in embarrassment and said unhappily, "Didn't you choose the color yourself?

When I asked you what color material you wanted for the bed sheets, didn’t you say you wanted the same color as my elder sister?”

"Hey, it seems to be true."

Upon hearing this, Leng Cang, who was obsessed with his sister, originally thought that light yellow and tender green were too soft and fresh and not suitable for boys, but suddenly he felt that this color was much more pleasing to the eye and it was easy for him to fall asleep just by looking at it.

"Alright, alright, you have to use what you choose. Go back to the house and clean up. Don't leave it here!"

Leng Xun was already unhappy about being disturbed by his son, and now after hearing what he said, he wanted to throw him out.

Leng Cang scratched his head angrily but dared not say anything, then walked out of the room.

On the other side, Old Man Leng was sitting in the newly built room, with his back against the wall at the head of the kang, his expression calm and distant, and no one knew what he was thinking.

They were all indifferent and immersed in the joy of living in a new house and having a new room.

This was something I could never have imagined before. The blue brick and tile house, the brand new furniture, the bright room, everything was so beautiful, as if it was a dream.

If this was a dream, the Leng family might want to immerse themselves in it and not wake up.

But dreams are just dreams after all. In reality, they still have to work hard to fight for the life they want.

After the house was built, Leng Yan could go to the shop to help as usual.

Grandpa Leng, Leng Qi and Leng He still stayed at home, looking after the chickens, ducks, geese and rabbits in the backyard, and harvesting vegetables in the village.

An ox cart was indispensable for going back and forth to the shop every day. In order to make it easier for grandpa to collect vegetables, Leng Yan discussed with his family and bought another ox cart.

With these two ox carts, we can use them every day without worrying about conflicts.

The good business at Lengji Snack Shop remains stable.

Although there are many imitators, none of them can imitate the essence, the taste is not as good as Lengji, and they only engage in price wars, which can attract a wave of customers, but they are far from the majority.

Therefore, during today's lunch market, Leng Yan served three new dishes in the shop according to seasonal vegetables: stuffed meat with chili peppers, stir-fried pea tips, and ginger duck.

Among the three dishes, the ginger duck is the most popular.

Not only does it taste good, but eating ginger duck in spring and summer can also remove dampness and heat, nourish yin and reduce fire, and replenish qi and blood.

After Leng Yan has prepared all the ingredients, he will clean the duck, chop it into small pieces, and then simply blanch it in water.

In another pot, add sesame oil and chopped ginger slices, stir-fry over low heat until the ginger slices are browned all around. Then pour in the duck pieces and stir-fry until the duck skin is golden brown.

Add the cooking wine that was boiled before, as well as boiling water, various spices and rock sugar, to cover the duck meat, and continue to simmer over high heat until the sauce is reduced.

A pot of fragrant and nutritious ginger duck is ready.

The ginger duck has a sweet and rich flavor, the duck meat is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, making you salivate.

The ginger duck just came out of the pot and before it could be brought to the living room, everyone in the kitchen was drooling with greed.

Seeing this, Leng Yan had no choice but to give them some first and let them try the taste.

"Oh my god, duck meat can be cooked so deliciously without any fishy smell!"

"Yes, it is delicious, rich, sweet, fragrant and tender. This taste is absolutely amazing when mixed with white rice!"

Leng Xun kept praising the dish, and being eager to learn, he immediately said that he wanted to learn how to cook this dish.

The people in the kitchen praised this dish highly after tasting it.

After hearing the introduction of the ginger duck, which is both a medicine and a food, the diners who came to the shop ordered one portion each.

"Delicious, really delicious!"

Sheng Yuxing, who was studying at the academy, tasted the ginger duck and was so amazed that he kept praising it. Finally, he called Leng Yan to ask if he could also serve this dish at his grandmother's birthday party in a few days.

"Miss Cold, spring is the season for nourishment. My grandmother happens to be a health-conscious person. She will definitely like this ginger duck!"

"Of course I can do it!"

As Leng Yan responded, a good idea came to his mind.

When the shop closed and he was about to rush to Taojing Village with his father, Aunt Yu, who had just finished work, came back with another aunt.

"What's this, Aunt Yu?"

Leng Yan looked at the woman beside him with a puzzled look on her face.

"Return to Xiao Dong's house. This is my distant cousin Aunt Hong."

Aunt Yu was an eloquent speaker, and she explained the origins of her cousin in great detail through both speaking and singing.

That bitter experience made people's tears flow like hot and sour noodles.

Zhang Cuiniang, who was standing by, felt cold towards Aunt Liu and the others, and they sighed and expressed their sympathy.

Aunt Hong lost her son and her husband, but her parents-in-law didn't care about her. Her husband's family even kicked her out by claiming that her son and grandson were killed by evil spirits.

If it weren't for Aunt Yu, a distant relative, who took me in, I would probably have been homeless on the streets.

"My young master, our shop is still looking for helpers, so I was thinking, can I let my cousin give it a try?

She is honest, hardworking, neat and tidy, and absolutely reliable!"

Aunt Yu twisted her clothes awkwardly and spoke loudly, her voice full of uneasiness.

"Yan girl, this..."

As a woman, Zhang Cuiniang wanted to say a few words to help Aunt Hong, but she was afraid that her daughter would be embarrassed, so she stuttered for a moment and didn't know what to say.

Leng Yan saw this and thought about how busy the shop was, and it would be good to have more manpower. He would help if he could, but he couldn't break her request.

So she went up to Aunt Hong and asked her a few questions, and looked at whether she was dressed neatly. Finally, she told her to try the job for a day tomorrow to see if she could do it and then make a decision.

This is the opportunity. Upon hearing this, Aunt Yu happily pulled her cousin to thank her repeatedly.

After seeing off Aunt Yu and the other two, the Leng family, Aunt Liu, and Zhan Ying packed up their things and followed them to Taojing Village.

Except for Leng Yan, most of the people in this car were visiting Taojing Village for the first time.

Therefore, as soon as they entered the village, everyone was dazzled by the dazzling array of porcelain ornaments displayed in front of each household.

The reason why they came here today was that after the Leng family moved into their new house, they no longer had enough tea sets and teapots at home, so they also needed to buy some bowls and dishes.

The second one was Aunt Liu, who wanted to order porcelain bowls, dusters and other things in advance that would be used for her son's wedding, so she came with Zhang Cuiniang and Leng Su to take a look.

The construction period of the Leng family's new house was considered a long one, and it was entirely contracted to the Zhan family's father and son.

As a contractor, Zhan Hu made a lot of money, and with the money Aunt Liu earned from working at Leng's house in the past two months, he also saved a lot.

Therefore, it was the daughter of the family that Aunt Yuegui introduced to Zhan Jiang some time ago.

The two children at that time actually fell in love with each other, but the girl's parents asked for a very high dowry.

The old couple of the Zhan family were very worried about this, and now they have finally collected enough money for the bride price.

After the parents of both parties had discussed it, they exchanged engagement letters and set the wedding date. Everything went on in an orderly manner.
