He was betrayed at the beginning, from a cake seller to a wealthy person

After finishing the meal, Lu Sheng took the lead to wash the dishes. After washing the dishes, the food was still not eaten, and he walked out of the kitchen, feeling his stomach.

Lu Yan looked at Lu Sheng's round belly, thought for a moment and said, "Come up the mountain with me after noon."

Lu Sheng glanced at Lu Yan blankly and decisively agreed. Boss Lu opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

This was the first time someone had made such a request to Lu Sheng. In the past, he had to help his parents with work, but his parents would always send him away with "Go read a book." It seemed that doing anything else but reading was a waste of time. .

But Lu Sheng was too young. In Lu Yan's eyes, he looked like a primary school student. She always couldn't react to the fact that Lu Sheng was a scholar and that Lu Sheng had to take the exam. In Lu Yan's opinion, children still need to move more to stay healthy.

She took a nap at noon. After getting up from her nap, Lu Yan made another bowl of noodles. After she learned how time-consuming it is to make dough with yeast, she learned to make the dough four or five hours in advance. After making noodles, Lu Sheng and Lu Yan went up the mountain together.

Lujia Village is at the foot of the mountain, just two steps away from Dayao Mountain. People in Lujia Village go up the mountain from time to time. Xu's leg was accidentally broken two days ago while going up the mountain to pick fruits.

Lu Yan and Lu Sheng chatted while walking up the mountain. Only then did Lu Yan have an understanding of the Lu family's financial situation. Boss Lu works as a carpenter, and is paid thirty cents a day in the shop. Before Xu broke her leg, she did some sewing and sewing at home, and she could earn an income of five or six cents a day. In total, I can earn thirty-five cents a day, which is about one tael a month, and twelve taels a year. In addition, the family still has a few acres of land. If it is an ordinary farmer, this is not bad. It is not rich but it is not hungry. There are also donkeys at home. Although there are no cattle, having livestock is considered a good condition.

But Lu Sheng was a sick man and a scholar. He has not mentioned the medicine since he was a child. In today's society, if you want to study, you have to spend money like water. A book costs several hundred words. Buying all four books and five classics costs at least seven or eight taels of silver. Lu Sheng's books were all copied by him. Repairing the beams for my husband is also a big expense. The family couldn't afford it, so Lu Sheng studied for half a year and spent almost all his family's savings. He couldn't continue studying, so he had to study at home.

Lu Yan couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. No wonder the old couple, even though they were considered a dual-income family, had saved so much money over the years.

But it was impossible for Lu Yan to persuade Lu Sheng to give up reading. Lu Yan is a modern person who knows the best about the use of reading. Children should not suffer from hardships, and education should not be suffered from poverty. This book must be read, whether you can pass the exam or not, and you have to sell it for your children to read. The worst thing is to make more money.

The two of them went up the mountain as they talked. Lu Yan was immediately attracted by a few hawthorn trees on the roadside. It was autumn, when the hawthorns were in fruition, and a small red ball hung on the tree made Lu Yan's mouth water.

"There are so many hawthorn trees!" Lu Yan exclaimed.

"That's what you're talking about!" Lu Sheng pointed to the hawthorns that no one picked, "This is a large area that no one cares about eating. It's sour."

Hawthorn can indeed make many delicious things, such as hawthorn cake, hawthorn slices, candied haws, sugar snowballs... But all of them require a lot of sugar. Sugar is so expensive nowadays. Who would be willing to eat this fruit that is all over the mountain? There's so much sugar, no one would care if I didn't add sugar...

Lu Yan still couldn't bear to leave such a pile of hawthorns hanging on the tree until they rotted with no one eating them, so she and Lu Sheng gathered a basket of hawthorns. This thing can be stored for several years even if it is dried in the sun. Dried hawthorn soaked in water is also a good way to digest food and relieve tiredness.

Lu Yan also saw a lot of wild shepherd's purse, and she was greatly moved. Shepherd's purse is a good thing. It grows one after another and can be eaten at any time of the year. Shepherd's purse and pork stuffed buns, dumplings, and wontons are so delicious that I want to eat them again...

The two dug another basket of shepherd's purse, and then each of them went down the mountain carrying a basket.

After returning home, Lu Sheng washed his hands and went back to warm up his books. Lu Yan went directly into the kitchen.

There is not a piece of meat at home, but because we raise chickens, there is no shortage of eggs. Lu Yan thought about it and decided to make steamed buns stuffed with shepherd's purse and eggs that night.

As expected, the noodles were not ready yet. Lu Yan put the half-risen noodles aside, washed and blanched the shepherd's purse, drained the water and chopped it into pieces. Then I took a few eggs, scrambled them, mixed them into the shepherd's purse, seasoned them well and put them aside.

While the dough was fermenting, Lu Yan whisked the fish paste for lunch and made a pot of fish balls.

Lu Yan washed the hawthorns and dried them. Lu Yan took a small stool and sat in the courtyard to bask in the sun. She felt that today was simply indescribable. In the two days after crossing over, a group of girls were imprisoned in a woodshed. Lu Yan almost lost all hope of living. As a result, she was bought by Boss Lu today and seamlessly connected to her previous life.

Lu Yan counted the time and estimated that her dough was almost done, so she went into the kitchen to make buns. Lu Sheng's study also came to an end and he wandered into the kitchen to watch Lu Yan tinker.

Lu Yan kneaded the dough, rolled it into long strips, and cut it into small rounds of the same size. With the dough in one hand and the rolling pin in the other, she quickly rolled it into small round cakes, and then scooped out a lot of fillings. Pinch one and twist quickly, and a bun is ready.

The bun has seventeen or eight pleats, each pleat is at the same distance, and the tops are pinched together to bloom into a flower. Lu Sheng couldn't help but marveled at the beautiful buns, and Lu Yan burst into laughter.

Lu Yan turned around and saw Lu Sheng's shining eyes, twisting a piece of dough from the big dough: "Take it and play with it!"

Lu Sheng: "..."

Are you sending the child away?

Lu Sheng snorted and turned back to the house.

Lu Yan was very fast and quickly wrapped all the buns and steamed them. After a while, the aroma of steamed buns wafted into Lu Sheng's nose, and Lu Sheng began to become distracted again.

In the evening, shepherd's purse egg buns and fish ball soup also gained everyone's love. The fish balls are sweet and pliable, and taste very chewy. Although the steamed buns are vegetarian, the shepherd's purse is fresh and refreshing, and there are large pieces of soft eggs. They taste extremely tender and no worse than meat.

Shepherd's Purse Egg Buns

Lu Yan's buns were extremely huge, one was half as big as her face. Lu Yan and Xu were full after eating one, and Boss Lu ate two. I had to lament once again that a young man could eat me to death. Lu Sheng ate three of them and drank all the fish ball soup.

After the meal was finished, Lu Sheng burped and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, and Boss Lu also returned to the house. The Lu family has three rooms. There was one room that was unoccupied and had sundries stored there. Lu Yan came and cleaned it up and moved in there.

Lu Yan silently calculated in her heart. I didn’t spend any money today. I bought tofu before, eggs from my own chickens, and forked the fish myself. Now I still have six or seven steamed buns, half a pot of fish balls, and a basket of hawthorns left at home.

In fact, you can eat well without spending money, but Lu Yan still wants to buy some meat. I saved so much money by not buying the heroine, so I can't afford to buy meat.

Gotta buy some meat.
