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

Early the next morning, Lu Yan heated up yesterday's leftover steamed buns and fish ball soup, and the meal was over. Lu Yan proposed that she wanted to go around the town, which put Boss Lu in trouble.

Boss Lu had a day off yesterday and it was time to go to work today. So he counted a hundred coins and asked Lu Sheng and Lu Yan to accompany him.

After breakfast and settling down the Xu family, Lu Sheng and Lu Yan drove the donkey cart to the town.

There is a street dedicated to business in the town, which is bustling with people.

"Wontons, 5 cents a bowl!"

“Big steamed buns, both vegetarian and meat!”

"Candied haws on a stick! Candied haws on a stick!"

Lu Yan went to the city not only to buy vegetables and meat, but also wanted to see what kind of business there was in the town so she could think about what she could do.

She walked around and found that there were a lot of food sellers, and the prices were very cheap. Big steamed buns cost one penny each, and vegetarian buns cost two cents each. But once meat and sugar are added to it, it immediately becomes expensive. There may not be much meat filling in the meat buns, and the meat filling in the wontons is even pitiful, but it dares to sell for four to five cents, especially the candied haws. No, just sell it for eight cents a bunch.

It can be seen how much the people love meat and sugar.

Lu Yan directed Lu Sheng to go buy vegetables first. It was getting colder now and there were not many kinds of vegetables. Soon, if you want to eat fresh vegetables, you will have to buy Dongzi products. Turnips and cabbage are always cheap and cheap. A basket of turnips costs three cents, and two baskets of cabbage costs five cents.

What surprised Lu Yan the most was that although she hadn’t seen tomatoes yet, potatoes and sweet potatoes had appeared and were sold everywhere. Nowadays, it is also called potato and sweet potato because it was introduced from Fanbang. Not long after potatoes and sweet potatoes were first introduced, the imperial court promoted them as food crops with "high yields per mu and filling the stomach", and the people really steamed and boiled them as staple foods every day. Only Lu Yan knew what these two things meant, and that getting the starch out would be of great use, so she ordered Lu Sheng to move another basket of potatoes and sweet potatoes for five cents.

Chili peppers have been around for a long time. The Lu family may not like spicy food and don't have any at home, but people in the town seem to like chili peppers. Many food stalls have small bottles of chili sauce and chili noodles. You must buy a basket of dried chili peppers to take home.

The vegetables were cheap, but the meat was expensive. When she walked to the butcher shop, Lu Yan could hear Lu Sheng swallowing. Yes, if your child wants to eat, he has to buy whatever he wants.

When the two half-year-old children walked into the butcher shop, the butcher shop owner didn't take them seriously at all. Lu Yan asked how to sell the meat, and the butcher shop owner looked impatient: "The piece you are referring to is the best pork belly, priced at twenty cents per catty."

Lu Yan: "..."

The quality of the meat is only average. Are you really fooling me into thinking I'm a kid who doesn't understand anything?

Lu Yan sneered: "If this is considered a top-notch product, then your store is probably full of cheap stuff, and you don't even want a dog."

Before Lu Sheng could react, he was pulled out of the butcher shop by Lu Yan.

"Bah, what the hell!" Lu Yan sighed angrily.

"Don't be angry." Lu Sheng consoled him, "His family is not the only one selling meat."

The two of them changed stores to buy meat. The owner of this store was much more normal. He welcomed the two into the store and asked politely what they wanted.

The Wuhua in this shop is really good meat, with five layers of red and white. Lu Yan couldn't help but sigh when she looked at it: "What beautiful meat."

The butcher shop owner smiled and said, "Young girl knows the goods. This piece costs seventeen cents per catty. If you want more, it can be a few cents cheaper."

Lu Yan didn't say yes or no, but instead turned her gaze to the big stick bone on the side. This big bone is cleanly shaved and shiny, without any flesh on it.

Lu Yan pointed: "How can I sell this?"

"This bone stick is not worth anything, but it tastes good when you make the soup at home, and it costs three pennies a pound." said the butcher shop owner.

Lu Yan thought for a moment and said, "I'll give you fifty cents. You can help me weigh three pounds of pork belly and give me the bones. Do you like it? If so, I'll buy it from you in the future."

The butcher shop owner was stunned for a moment and started calculating. A catty of five flowers is 17 cents, and three catties is 51 cents. These stick bones weigh roughly two or three catties, but few people usually buy them, so it’s not a loss at all. It’s hard for this half-grown girl to calculate so quickly.

The butcher shop owner agreed with a smile, and Lu Sheng immediately ordered 50 yuan. The boss also weighed out three kilograms of pork belly, including a few stick bones, and put them all on the cart of the two of them.

Lu Sheng felt indescribably satisfied when he saw the three kilograms of meat. It seems that I have never bought so much meat during the Chinese New Year.

The 100 Wen that Boss Lu ordered out in the morning was not much left, so Lu Yan bought the rest for sugar and various spices. Lu Yan originally planned to take Lu Sheng to have lunch outside, but when she thought about the Xu family at home, she simply decided to go home to eat, so she spent all the money.

It was noon, and the two of them walked around the street again to see what stalls were set up at noon. After completing the circle, they drove the donkey cart home with satisfaction.

The donkey cart slowly entered the village. At the entrance of the village, several old ladies were chatting under the shade of a tree, watching the two children go away.

"Did you see it? This is the child bride that Brother Sheng's father bought for him."

"I saw it, I saw it. This skinny little one doesn't look like he's blessed. How can he be so happy?"

"How can his family have spare money to hire someone? After the eldest daughter-in-law broke her leg, let's see how much the doctor spent on medicine."

"makes sense."

Lu Sheng and Lu Yan didn't know what others said. When he got home today, Lu Sheng, uncharacteristically, did not go back to the room to read. Instead, he wandered around a basket of meat like a guarding dog. Lu Yan saw it funny and couldn't help but joke: "What, you still want to eat it raw?"

Lu Sheng knew that Lu Yan was teasing him, so he didn't care and asked seriously: "What are you going to do with this meat?"

Lu Yan took a look around today and found that there are still big loopholes in today's society in the field of food. There were all kinds of modern breakfast cakes, such as pancakes, fruit, egg-filled cakes, stone cakes and bacon flatbreads. But when she thought about it, all those things needed a stove to spread them. But now that there was no liquefied gas, she could burn charcoal by herself? Let’s forget it and simply give up on this field for the time being.

So what is it that you don’t need to cook in the stove, but just make it at home and take it over? Lu Yan first thought of Roujiamo. But if it is really stuffed with a large layer of meat and the price cannot be lowered, people in the town will definitely be reluctant to buy it.

Then, Lu Yan thought about braised rice again. Stew is a kind of food in many places in the north. It is made with broth and has some similarities with pig skin jelly. What Lu Yan had eaten the most before was donkey meat stew. Stores selling donkey meat barbecue often had the combination of donkey meat stew with fire stir-fry. The price was much cheaper than the donkey meat stew with donkey meat, but the taste was also very good.

There is not much meat in the stew, but the meat is full of flavor. But the stew needs broth first and sweet potato starch second. Both of these things take time. But it happened that she bought meat and half a basket of sweet potatoes today, which was really good. Just do it.

It was already noon, and it was too late to make complicated rice. Lu Yan simply kneaded and stretched the noodles, and made a large pot of hot pot noodles in a cabbage hotpot.

The recipe of soy pot noodles is simple, but the cabbage is sweet and delicious, and the noodles are fragrant. Lu Sheng even ate two large bowls of soup and noodles.

After finishing the meal, Lu Yan was finally ready to start her great career of making simmered rice. Lu Yan handed out the noodles and stewed the meat as usual.
