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

The family already had rice seeds saved, but she was worried about the survival rate, so she secretly bought some hybrid rice seeds from the mall and mixed them together for seedling cultivation.

Now, more than ten days have passed, and the seedlings in the small shed she built are lush and growing particularly well.

Leng Yan held up a paper umbrella, covered the whole thing with a tarp, took a rough look, and inserted some wooden roots to prevent the strong wind and heavy rain from crushing the shed.

It rained heavily for half the night and then cleared up in the morning.

Looking at the rising sun, the villagers in the threshing ground are busy again.

The villagers in the fields took advantage of the moist soil in the past two days to apply fertilizer and plow the fields, and to dig ditches to bring water to the fields.

In the past, every household was in a hurry to harvest wheat, but now they can take their time to plow the land and sow seeds, so the Leng family hired a farmhand to help.

After water was brought to the fields, Leng Yan began to lead the whole family to plant rice.

When the surrounding villagers saw their strange way of planting, they all stood on the ridges of the fields and pointed and talked.

"Hey, what is this old Leng family doing?"

"Yes, yes. If you put the seedlings directly into the water without roots or sprouts, will they survive?"

"I think it's a long shot. We have been farming for many years. Have you ever seen anyone farming like this?"

Such discussions continued, and finally even Village Chief Lan was alarmed. He hurried over and pulled Old Man Leng to ask what was going on.

Before Mr. Leng could answer, a thin man standing nearby saw this scene and his frown suddenly relaxed.

"Oh, I remember now. I seem to have seen this method of planting in the South before!"

The thin man used to be a peddler. He traveled all over the country and had a wide range of knowledge.

After hearing what he said, some of the villagers who were watching were skeptical, while others curled their lips in laughter. After all, it was not their own land, so they could do whatever they wanted with it.

"Yes, yes, that's right, that's right."

Naturally, Mr. Leng couldn't tell anyone about his granddaughter's peculiarity, so when he saw someone taking up the conversation, he immediately followed up with the conversation:

"My family is now at the dock, doing some food business. We often meet caravans and workers from the south. I heard about this kind of rice from them.

I heard that the yield is higher than here, so I want to try growing it.”

Seeing that they were not fooling around, Village Chief Lan finally felt relieved. At the same time, he also developed a strong interest in this novel farming method.

If the yield can really be increased, the village will be able to carry out large-scale planting next year, the villagers' yield will increase, and his political achievements as the village chief will also improve.

Therefore, Village Chief Lan pulled over Old Man Leng next to him and asked him in detail about the planting method.

Seeing this, the villagers all turned around with their own thoughts.

The Leng family's controversial fields were planted amid the villagers' discussions.

Before the villagers could react, the Leng family made another big move.

Recruiting workers and building workshops, the wages remain the same as before, thirty cents a day with lunch included.

The crowd was instantly excited when they heard the news, and there was an endless stream of people signing up.

Foreman Leng Yan still invited Uncle Zhan Hu from next door.

As for the aunt who was in charge of cooking, because there were many people working and eating this time, she invited a few more aunts. The leading aunt was Li Yuemei, who had worked well with her before.

After the workers were decided and all the materials were available, the Leng family chose an auspicious day, set off firecrackers, and started construction immediately.

This time the construction was even bigger than the previous time when the house was built, so there were many villagers coming to watch.

Some people came to join in the fun, some came to envy, and of course some people, because they did not pass the Leng family's job interview, could not help but say some sour words.

Leng Yan, who was standing outside the crowd, looked at the second branch of the Leng family who was surrounded by everyone, and his eyes couldn't help but shoot out vicious glances.

Since when did the second branch of their family, which was inferior in every way, become so prosperous?

The Leng family knew nothing about this and they were all busy doing their own jobs.

After Leng Yan had finished explaining everything that needed to be done in the morning, he drove another ox cart with his sister-in-law and headed for Beicheng County, carrying the 500 bars of soap that he had made earlier.

After entering the city, the aunt and niece first went to Xianju Pavilion to collect the monthly dividend.

As the ox cart drove into Dong'an Street, one could see from a distance a steady stream of diners in front of Xianju Pavilion, indicating that the business was good.

Although Tianxiang Tower, which is not far away, also has many gimmicks, its business is still not as good as Xianju Pavilion.

Leng Yan even saw from afar that a similar blind box activity was being held in front of Tianxiang Tower.

However, because the items in their blind boxes were not as unique, interesting and exquisite as those in Xianju Pavilion, they did not attract many people.

Leng Yan passed by and took a few looks. The ox cart turned into the back alley of Xianju Pavilion. Qingxi, who had been waiting there, immediately came forward to greet them warmly.

"I knew you would come today, Miss Leng. The shopkeeper told me to wait for you here early in the morning."

Qingxi led them into the box with a smile, and the shopkeeper Zhao and the chef Yang who were waiting inside stood up and greeted them enthusiastically.

"Oh, Miss Leng has been waiting for you to come."

Shopkeeper Zhao politely invited them to sit down, and said that since their young master was not at home, the two of them would be the ones to entertain them.

Since she didn't see Zhao Jingsheng when she came in, Leng Yan guessed that he must have left Beicheng County.

"No problem."

After some polite greetings, they got straight to the point.

"Miss Leng, take a look. This is the account book of several restaurants last month. According to the 10% share, you should get 680 taels of silver."

"Take a look here to see if there is anything wrong."

Even though Leng Yan was mentally prepared, he was still shocked when he heard this number. After all, this was a lot more than the amount he got last time.

Leng Su, who was standing by, was also very excited and clenched her hand under the table.

"Yeah, that's right, no problem."

Leng Yan believed that they would not fool her about these things, so she looked through it roughly and waited for the silver to be handed over.

He then took out another stack of papers from his arms, a total of seven sheets.

"Here are the seven latest porcelain ornaments I painted. Shopkeeper Zhao, you can take them to Taojing Village and ask Mr. Tao to customize them.

Remember to sign a confidentiality agreement with Boss Tao before production. Just say that I introduced you and Boss Tao will know what to do. "

"sure."

Shopkeeper Zhao took the drawings with great excitement and looked through them reverently.

"Wonderful, absolutely wonderful, really ingenious!"

He couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "Miss Leng, I wonder what these porcelain toys are called."

"Huluwa."

Leng Yan said this calmly, but Shopkeeper Zhao could not stop praising her after hearing it.

"What a good name, what a good name."

After discussing the blind box issue, the next thing to come is the two new dishes every month.

This time, Leng Yan prepared a dish called Huadiao Chicken and crispy salt and pepper spare ribs.
