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

As the saying goes, don’t be greedy, children. After Laba Festival, it will be the New Year.

Lu Yan didn't leave the stall for a few days, and when she came out again, the street gradually had a New Year atmosphere.

Seeing that Lu Yan finally came out of the stall, all the regular diners gathered over soon.

"Miss Lu, why haven't you come for so long?"

"It's only been three days, but I'm waiting to die!"

"What happened to Miss Lu?"

"I'm really sorry, everyone. My brother was sick. I took care of him at home for three days. I came out when he was fine." Lu Yan apologized again and again with a smile on her face: "Today I will give you a cheaper price, one penny less for everything." All right."

"The relationship is great! Then I have to eat something meaty today!"

"Hahaha, let's have two. I want a braised one and a vegetarian one."

"Miss Lu is still kind!"

After all the fuss, the store sold out earlier than usual today. As Lu Yan walked on the street, there were already many small vendors selling New Year's goods, including dried fruits and wild products, couplets, red lanterns, window grilles...

Lu Yan counted the days. It was already the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and it was time to start preparing for the New Year. She simply bought twenty kilograms of meat and went home. It was not worth the money, so the boss gave Lu Yan the intestines she liked.

Lu Yan took another detour to get some ink, thinking about buying some big red paper and cutting it out for Lu Sheng to write Spring Festival couplets. It happened that Song Bowen was in the store. Without saying anything, he took a knife of big red paper and put it on the donkey cart, saying that he refused to accept Lu Yan's money.

Lu Yan returned home with the meat and red paper. When she got home, she gave the red paper to Lu Sheng. Lu Sheng looked at the thick red paper and was confused.

"I originally just wanted you to write about our family, but when I went to Yidianmo, Song Bowen was there. He said nothing and didn't charge me, and gave me this piece of paper." Lu Yan said, "I saw couplet window grilles being sold today. Yes, I was thinking, how about you write more and sell it at the stall with me tomorrow?"

Lu Sheng's eyes immediately lit up: "No problem!"

Lu Sheng was writing couplets in the house, while Lu Yan went to the courtyard to deal with the sewer water.

Lu Yan separated the large and small intestines and put the large intestine aside. This time she mainly used the small intestine. Lu Yan bought it to make casings for stuffing sausages.

Lu Yan turned the small intestine over, squeezed out the mucus, washed away all the fat, and scrubbed it several times with plant ash and starch, and finally washed it thoroughly. Tie one end tightly and blow air in from the other end. The small intestine will swell up like a ball immediately. The texture is light and translucent, which means the casing is ready. The other end was also tied tightly and left to dry in the sun.

Lu Yan then processed the meat, minced all twenty pounds of meat, added starch, red yeast rice powder, and various seasonings. Lu Yan made two kinds, ten pounds of sweet and ten pounds of spicy food. Add sugar and honey to the sweet one, and add chili powder and Sichuan pepper powder to the spicy one. In a short while, the two pots of meat fillings were all mixed. The meat with red yeast powder was bright red and very beautiful.

In modern times, there is something similar to a large syringe for stuffing sausages. In ancient times, there was no such thing, but it is not necessary to use it. Lu Yan found a funnel with a long narrow neck and put it on one end of the casing.

Lu Yan called Lu Sheng to come out and help. She put the casings on the funnel and pushed them up so that they were piled up at the neck of the funnel. After a while, she reached the other end where the casings were tied tightly. At this time, it was time to stuff the meat into the funnel. Lu Yan put the meat into the funnel, then pushed it in with her hands and chopsticks, and the meat was stuffed into the casing. Each time the meat was about 15 centimeters long, which was almost half a foot long, Lu Sheng was asked to tie it up with a piece of thread. In the end, all twenty kilograms of meat were filled and hung all over the yard.

The sausage needs to be dried for about ten days before it can be eaten. It is dried outdoors for the first few days and can be transferred to the kitchen after a few days.

Yinzi was so excited by the smell that he whined and jumped up desperately to reach it. Even after being slapped twice by Lu Yan, it was no use. After the slap, he stopped screaming and reached for it secretly.

I accidentally bit him. Lu Yan had no choice but to cut off the bitten part and give it to it. Fortunately, the sausages were tied section by section and did not affect other parts.

What Yinzi bitten happened to be spicy, so Lu Yan gave the whole intestine to Yinzi. Yinzi couldn't wait to take a bite and was completely stunned. The puppy had never eaten spicy food before, and the pain violently attacked his tongue, making the whole dog feel bad.

The rich meaty flavor attracted it, but every bite felt like slicing its tongue with a knife. Yinzi's brief life was shocked. Looking at the meat in his basin, he was in a dilemma and did not dare to take a bite. From time to time, he would raise his head and look at Lu Yan and Lu Sheng with tears in his eyes, not knowing what to do.

Yinzi completely lost interest in biting sausages and didn't even raise his head when he passed under the hanging sausages in the courtyard. Lu Yan and Lu Sheng were laughed to death by it.

Lu Sheng's Spring Festival couplets were also written very smoothly. When Lu Yan went to see them, Lu Sheng had already written a lot of them. Some were posted at home and some in the store. They talked about the prosperity of a wealthy family, the prosperity of a golden land, and the increase in fortune. As time goes by, people live longer, and spring brings happiness to the world. Lu Sheng's handwriting is good, and his writing is majestic. Anyway, Lu Yan looks really good.

Lu Yan took out another dozen of papers, cut them into small squares and placed them in front of him: "This one has the word "福" written on it."

Lu Sheng nodded.

Lu Yan said: "I went shopping today and saw that the Spring Festival couplets sold were almost five cents each. Let's also pay five cents each. A couplet with the word "Fu" costs two cents a piece, and a couplet with three characters "Fu" costs ten cents. ,How about it?"

Lu Sheng nodded: "No problem."

"You must sell it quickly. Your handwriting is much better than theirs. Write more. If you can't sell all the books, we will give them away." Lu Yan added.

"Don't worry about not being able to sell it." Lu Sheng said: "Our village used to come to me every New Year to write letters. They didn't give me any money, but they gave me eggs, duck, protein, vegetables and radishes in baskets."

Lu Yan woke Lu Sheng up early the next morning. Lu Sheng was a little confused when he woke up so early for the first time, but when he thought about being able to go out with Lu Yan, he immediately became excited and quickly got up to get dressed and wash up. Finally, he took the word "Fu" he had written yesterday and drove the donkey cart with Lu Yan on the road.

Lu Yan specially set up a table next to her stall for Lu Sheng to place his Spring Festival couplets with the character "Fu" on them. The old customers were very surprised when they saw the stall next to Lu Yan: "Miss Lu, what are you selling?"

"Hey, Spring Festival couplets! Are these yours too?"

"This is written by my brother. Come and take a look if you need it!" Lu Yan said with a smile.

After buying the cakes, the old diners always come closer to see the excitement, which is a great thing to watch.

"Oh, this is such a good handwriting!"

"Hahaha, you can't even read. What do you know about good and bad things?"

"I'm illiterate, so I can tell whether the handwriting looks good or not. If you can't read either, can you tell how ugly our handwriting is?"

"That's true, hahaha. Little brother, how do you sell these Spring Festival couplets?"

"A Spring Festival couplet costs five cents, a Spring couplet with the word "Fu" costs two cents, and a Spring couplet with three characters "Fu" costs ten cents." Lu Sheng told Lu Yan the price she had set yesterday.

This price is neither cheap nor expensive, it is a common price on the market. At the same price, Lu Shengzi sold it quickly.

By noon, all the [-] Spring Festival couplets and [-] Chinese characters "Fu" prepared by Lu Sheng were sold out, earning [-] cash, which was more than what Lu Yan could earn in a day of hard work.

Lu Sheng was so happy that he gave all the money he earned to Lu Yan.

"Don't you save it yourself?" Lu Yan asked him.

"What are you saving for? Let's go buy new year's goods!" Lu Sheng was in high spirits.
