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

I braised the pork offal at home last night. After being simmered in the brine overnight, it is now rich in flavor.

Seeing this, Leng Yan asked her aunt, Aunt Liu, and Sister Zhan Ying to peel a lot of potatoes, then cut them into thin slices and stew them in brine for a while. The taste would be very good then.

The braised food in the shop has always been meat dishes, but now it seems that some vegetarian dishes can also be served.

I bought a few cleaned local chickens for lunch with radish and chicken nuggets.

Leng Yan asked her father to help chop the chicken into pieces and changed it into roast chicken with potatoes.

This dish is her favorite. The soft and tasty potatoes are mixed with rice and it is so delicious!

Then cut the potatoes into shreds and stir-fry them in hot oil to make spicy and sour potato shreds.

This is a quick dish that requires skillful steps to prepare the wok, add vinegar and simmer the coriander in one go. The air is instantly filled with the wonderful aroma of a mixture of sour and spicy flavors.

After the three dishes are prepared, they can be sold in the shop during lunch time.

For the potato feast for Xiao Pingyue, she added mashed potatoes, dry-pot potato chips, braised pork with potatoes, stewed pork ribs with potatoes and shredded potato cakes.

After these dishes came out of the pot, everyone could see the deliciousness and diversity of potatoes.

Xiao Pingyue did not come to the banquet alone, he also brought Sheng Yuxing and Uncle Xiao who had just returned from a long journey.

The former are good brothers, while the latter are just curious about how delicious this potato can be.

It was still the same private room as yesterday. As the meals were served one after another, the dishes exuded tempting aromas, which really whetted one's appetite.

Leng Yan smiled and asked them to taste it first.

With trust in Leng Yan's cooking skills, Xiao Pingyue was the first to pick up a piece of spicy and sour potato shreds that looked refreshing but was actually very sour and spicy.

It is crispy when you put it in your mouth, and the sour and spicy taste explodes in your mouth when you chew it, leaving a long aftertaste.

"Great, absolutely great! This spicy and sour potato shreds tastes amazing, it's exactly what I like!"

Xiao Pingyue's constant praise made Sheng Yuxing and the other man, who were eager to try, even more impatient.

Sheng Yuxing picked up a piece of stewed pork ribs with potatoes. The soft potatoes were placed on top of the pork ribs.

The first thing you taste is the soft and dense potato aroma, followed by the tender and firm texture of the ribs, which are so delicious that they fall off the bones with just one sip.

Sheng Yuxing's eyes lit up. He felt that the taste was completely different from the steamed spare ribs with yam. It was another kind of ultimate delicacy.

He took another piece uncertainly. After eating the soft stewed potatoes, he felt that they were soft and melted in his mouth. It was so delicious.

“It’s delicious. It’s really delicious!”

As he spoke, he picked up some hot and sour potato shreds. After tasting them, he praised them repeatedly: "I didn't expect that the taste of these potatoes is so rich, crispy and soft."

"That's right." Leng Yan smiled and nodded, "This potato can be said to be versatile. No matter how it is cooked or how it is paired, the taste is extremely good."

"These things in front of us are just a drop in the bucket."

Uncle Xiao had eaten boiled potatoes in Qianzhou, so when he saw that potatoes were cooked in so many different ways, he immediately and quickly tasted every dish on the table.

"It smells so good. They are all potatoes, but the flavors they create are all different."

Uncle Xiao couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "Miss Leng, you are so thoughtful and have great cooking skills. This is the first time I've seen such a thing in my travels. I admire you!"

Leng Yan smiled and waved his hands, saying that he was not worthy of the honor, "Uncle Xiao, you are truly admirable.

You were able to lead a team to such a remote place like Qianzhou and return with a full load. You are truly courageous and amazing."

After the two of them had a long conversation, Leng Yan asked about the matter that concerned him most.

"Master Xiao, Master Sheng, Uncle Xiao, to be honest, I want to buy a large amount of potatoes from Qianzhou. I wonder if you have any suitable caravans to recommend."

Reliable fleets and reliable merchant caravans are not easy to find. Leng Yan, a layman, naturally had to ask insiders for information first.

The three were not surprised to hear her ask this. After all, they had just witnessed the charm of potatoes.

Therefore, Xiao Pingyue spoke first, "It's hard to say about the merchant caravan, but I have several fleets.

If Miss Leng is trustworthy and needs it, she can rent it from my shop.

Whether it is the ship, the workers, or the helmsman, they will definitely arrange the best for Miss Leng."

Leng Yan had not expected that this would be possible. He had thought that if he wanted to use the fleet, he would have to be a merchant team, but he did not expect that he could rent a ship on its own.

But then she realized that this was just like the complicated express delivery in her previous life.

Pay the shipping fee and place an order, and someone will deliver the goods back to you from thousands of miles away.

Leng Yan was overjoyed. After expressing his gratitude, they discussed some other things. Only then did they feel satisfied with the meal.

Because of Aunt Wu's incident yesterday, the pickled green apricots were not given out. Today, when they were leaving, Leng Yan specially gave each of them a jar as a token of gratitude.

This potato banquet was a great success.

Even the diners in the shop, who had never seen this kind of thing, tried it out of a sense of giving it a try and fell in love with it instantly.

Therefore, the business in the shop today was surprisingly good. Many diners, who did not get to taste such novel and delicious food in the end, kept urging them to make more tomorrow.

Only after the last batch of diners left did the shop gradually close down.

In two days, it will be the day of Sheng Mansion’s birthday banquet.

Leng Yan went to the Sheng Mansion's kitchen in advance to familiarize herself with the environment, and also went to see the various ingredients prepared in the Sheng Mansion's ice cellar.

After that, she came back and spent half a day studying it. After drawing up the menu, she was still not satisfied.

So she and her sister-in-law went into the city and went to the vegetable market in West City.

The two of them walked along the street, listening to the hawkers' calls, trying to see if there were any rare ingredients.

But at the corner of an alley, I saw an old man pushing a cart, delivering milk to the people living in the alley.

Hearing the sound of a child crying in that family's house, Leng Yan nodded in understanding and instantly came up with an idea.

When the old man came out of the alley, she went to meet him.

"Uncle, do you have any more milk?"

The old man was very happy having just made a deal, and seeing that business was booming, he naturally started talking happily.

"Yes, yes, there is one bucket left. How much would you two ladies like?"

Leng Yan saw that there were strings of bamboo tubes hanging on his cart, and guessed that the amount of milk each family bought was not much. After all, it was fresh milk, and even with an ice cellar, it could not be stored for a few days.

However, she wanted a lot, and seeing that the old man was in tattered clothes and trembling, it was not easy for him to move, so she gave him all.

The old man was shocked, "Girl, this milk is not easy to store.

You want so much, and if you can't use it all, it might go bad."

Even if he pushed this bucket to the next alley to sell, he might not sell all of it.

After all, although this milk is expensive, it also has a strong smell. Unless there are children at home, few people will buy it.
