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

Early on New Year's Day, Lu Yan and Lu Sheng were woken up by the sound of firecrackers.

Boss Lu and Mrs. Xu gave each of them a copper plate. This is now the "New Year's money". Lu Sheng and Lu Yan said a lot of good things, which made the two of them smile.

Mrs. Xu took out a new set of clothes and gave them to Lu Yan: "Your aunt gave me some pieces of fabric a few days ago, and I made you new clothes. You can try them. You kid, even if you earn money, you don't want to buy them for yourself." How can I keep wearing my old clothes all the time?"

Lu Yan was very surprised. When Xu got the cloth, she didn't make clothes for Boss Lu and Lu Sheng, but made them for herself first. And it's only been seven days, so it's really not easy to come up with a set of clothes.

Lu Yan took the clothes and went back to the house to change. She also thought about changing her hairstyle. The outfit consisted of an off-white jacket and a dark green skirt, which were just right for a girl of Lu Yan's age.

Lu Yan usually didn't bother to buy clothes, let alone study her hair. She always tied a ponytail with a piece of cloth and tied all her hair on the top of her head. This time, Lu Yan thought about the hair style tutorial she had seen on a certain website before, let her hair down, and combed her hair into a simple princess hairstyle.

Lu Sheng was shocked when Lu Yan came out. Lu Yan's facial features are actually very delicate and attractive, but she is dark, thin and dry because she doesn't have enough to eat all year round. Although she has become fairer and rounder in the past six months, she still wears her mother's old clothes every day and her hair is too dry. She finished the job casually, and no one paid attention to her appearance.

Now Lu Yan was wearing clothes that a girl of her age should wear, and she had her hair combed in a strange way. Although the hair is weird, it looks pretty good. Looking at it this way, Lu Yan is quite beautiful.

Lu Sheng's face turned a little red, but Lu Yan moved closer to him and kept asking him like he was heartless: "Does it look good? Does it look good?"

Lu Sheng said honestly: "It looks good."

Lu Yan asked again: "Do the clothes look better or do I look better?"

Lu Sheng: "They all look good."

Lu Yan pestered Mrs. Xu and said a lot of good things. Mrs. Xu's eyes were filled with laughter, and she thought of several styles of clothes, all of which were made by Lu Yan.

Several people went to the village chief's house to pay New Year's greetings. The village chief's family was coming and going, and it was very lively. He didn't bother to say more, just go through the process and forget it. The village chief's wife was handing out melon seeds and peanuts to the children who came to pay New Year greetings. When the Lu family left, they also gave Lu Sheng and Lu Yan a handful each.

There were no elders above Boss Lu. On New Year's Day, there was really nothing to do except wait for neighbors to drop by. Lu Yan simply packed up all the ducks at home and prepared them for roasting. After a while, they hung up in the yard. A row of ducks.

On the first day of the new year, we eat dumplings all day. In the evening, after the duck was roasted, Lu Yan separated it, wrapped it in oil paper, and put it in the yard to freeze.

I went back to my parents’ house on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and today the whole family is going to my grandma’s house. Although she had given away things years ago, she packed up a lot more this time. Lu Yan also brought two roast ducks with her.

Several people set out early in the morning and arrived at the old lady's house at almost noon. The old lady had been thinking about her eldest grandson since years ago, and she hugged Lu Sheng's arm and wouldn't let go.

Lu Yan had nothing to do, so the old lady grabbed a handful of melon seeds and let her sit idle. After eating melon seeds for a while, she couldn't sit still and strolled to the kitchen.

Aunt and cousin are busy in the kitchen. My cousin has just been married to my cousin for more than a year and is still a little shy. When her aunt saw Lu Yan, she quickly greeted her: "The sausage you brought here years ago was really delicious. I'm not very good at making pickled vegetables."

"Then let me do it. Are there any fish?" Lu Yan said cheerfully.

There is indeed a fish. The fish was caught by my cousin years ago and kept in the tank. Lu Yan mercilessly captured her and made her pickled fish. While she was doing it, her aunt and cousin were learning at the same time.

Auntie wanted Lu Yan to cook and eat the roast duck she brought for lunch, but Lu Yan refused. I only brought two in total, and it was too much for my family to eat. In order to teach her aunt how to eat roast duck, Lu Yan made shredded pork with Beijing sauce.

Steam the spring pancakes first, then stir-fry the sweet noodle sauce, and stir-fry a jar. You can also dip it into the roast duck later. Cut the pork tenderloin into strips, put it in the pan until cooked, pour in the sweet noodle sauce, and then add the pork strips. When the sauce is tightly coated with the meat strips and the air is full of rich sauce aroma, it is ready to be taken out of the pan. The other way to eat it is exactly the same as the roast duck. Use spring pancakes to wrap the meat strips and shredded green onions and eat it. The taste is not inferior at all.

It's really worthy of being roasted duck. The wisdom of the poor is really amazing.

I didn't stay long in the afternoon and had to go home again. The old lady couldn't do anything to persuade her to stay, because her aunt and her family were coming.

On the second day of the second year of junior high school, when she returned to her natal family, the only one left in her family was Mr. Lu, and Mr. Lu’s family was her natal family. She knew that Mrs. Xu would also go back to Xujia Village on the second day of junior high school, so she always missed the second day of junior high school and came back on the third day of junior high school.

My aunt's family lived in the county town, much closer than my grandmother's house, and they had already arrived before six o'clock on the morning of the third day of the lunar new year.

My uncle's surname is Huang, and my aunt and uncle have two children, a daughter and a son. Their daughter Huang Hui is eleven years old, and their son Huang Yong is eight years old. My aunt's family came in a carriage. My aunt got out of the car and was surprised when she saw Lu Sheng: "Hey, Brother Sheng has grown a lot this year!"

In previous years, Lu Sheng could not grow older, so he was only about the same height as Huang Hui. This year, he has grown more than half a head taller than Huang Hui, and is almost as tall as his aunt.

Boss Lu smiled happily: "He's eating well this year, I've given him enough food, and he doesn't get sick very much."

My aunt lives nearby, and Boss Lu has been in contact with her in the past few months, so she is quite aware of the changes in the family. The aunt looked at Lu Yan with mixed emotions. She was different from the peasant women in the village who had their backs turned to the sky. She knew how valuable scholars were, and she always felt that Lu Sheng was good at studying, which was the family's greatest hope. On the other hand, she felt that waiting until Lu Sheng passed the exam before proposing marriage, how could they possibly agree on the conditions? The young lady from a better family felt that after Lu Yan came, she led the Lu family to live a better life. This girl's ability is really strong and she may not have any good fortune in the future.

All the thoughts turned into a sigh, patted Lu Yan on the shoulder, and said, "Good boy, thank you for your hard work."

Lu Yan smiled: "What did my aunt say? What kind of hard work is this? If you can make money, it's not hard." If you are really sold to a brothel or sold to someone as a concubine, you have to rely on a man to survive and protect your side. If you can't get out of the yard for the rest of your life, that's hard work.

My aunt's family is in business, so she felt deeply about this and kept saying yes.

A married woman is a spoiled guest, and when she comes home she is treated as a guest, so there is absolutely no reason to cook. But my aunt also wanted to see how the pickled cabbage and roast duck were used, so she followed into the kitchen.

Steam the spring cakes first, then stir-fry the sauce. There was still sweet noodle sauce at home, but in order to demonstrate it to her aunt, Lu Yan fried it again. The roast duck is already roasted, just warm it up. Lu Yan slowly poured hot oil over it, and the cooled roast duck became golden and shiny again, and then sliced ​​it carefully with a knife.

After that comes sauerkraut. There was only sauerkraut and no fish at home, so Lu Yan simply used pork instead, just like making boiled pork slices. First, slurry the pork slices, stir-fry the minced pickled cabbage, garlic and chili peppers in the pot, add water and bring to a boil, add the pork slices, scoop out the soup and ingredients, and then pour oil. With a sizzling sound, the sour taste becomes more intense and hits people's soul directly.

It's convenient to be in your own home. There were children at home, so Lu Yan specially made a cake after lunch. It was just hard work for Lu Sheng to beat the eggs. But the hard work was worth it. As the cake matured in the oven, the alluring sweet fragrance spread throughout the courtyard. Huang Hui and Huang Yong were unable to move away from the oven.

The cake was finally out of the oven. Lu Yan did not use a mold this time and baked a large plate on a flat plate. After cooling, she cut it into pieces. Huang Hui and Huang Yong held up a large piece and couldn't wait to take a bite. They were instantly conquered by the soft, delicate, sweet and charming taste.

"Mom! Sister Yan'er made a cake, it's delicious!"

"Mom, take a bite!"

The two of them held up the cake and rushed to feed it to their aunt. The aunt took a bite and was conquered by the taste: "It's delicious! This is better than the snacks sold by Rongxingzhai." Rongxingzhai is the largest snack shop in Yaoshan County .

Lu Yan knew that Western pastries were no better than traditional pastries, but the main thing was freshness, just like the spices she used. The biggest advantage of what she made was that no one had eaten it before.

"There are still quite a few. If Auntie likes it, she can decorate it and take it with her when she leaves."

After spending a day at her parents' house, my aunt was convinced of Lu Yan's ability, and now she began to feel that Lu Sheng was not worthy of her. Is family background as important as a person's ability?

The Lu family really didn't have enough room for my aunt's family of four to live in. After dinner in the evening, I drove back with a bunch of things that Xu had stuffed into me.
