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

Lu Yan's purpose in going to town this time was very clear. She first spent 12 Wen to buy a basket of potatoes and two baskets of sweet potatoes, then went to a butcher shop to buy two kilograms of meat for 34 Wen, and finally bought charcoal blocks. Lu Yan didn't use much charcoal, so she spent a total of 5 cents to buy a basket. Went to the spice store and bought a bunch of spices. Finally, I bought a stack of oil paper.

After buying the items, she walked around again to see where the stall would be suitable. She was going to sell breakfast. Nowadays, many people only eat two meals, but those who go out to work usually eat three meals. I have to go to work in the morning, and I have no energy without eating.

She observed that there were several quite small shops near the place where food was gathered. There were grain shops, blacksmith shops, and carpenter shops. These shops would definitely hire people. In the morning, many people gathered in front of the food stalls. , very lively.

Lu Yan had a rough idea in her mind, and after choosing a rough location, the two of them drove the donkey cart home.

Lu Yan made the noodles first when she got home. While she was making the noodles, she took the bones from last time and made soup. Lu Yan is not going to stew the braised pork this time. She will use bone broth to make the meat taste stronger.

Lu Sheng was not idle either. Lu Yan boiled the bone soup and immediately peeled a basket of sweet potatoes and cut them into pieces very quickly. The job of grinding sweet potato starch was left to Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng strictly followed Lu Yan's instructions to grind, filter, and scrub. Finally, he finally made a large basin of starch water and left it in the yard. He felt that his arms were no longer his own.

"Lack of exercise." Lu Yan pointed: "The more you exercise, the better."

Lu Sheng was very aggrieved, but could not refute.

The noodles were rising, the bone soup was simmering, and the starch water was standing. Lu Yan had nothing to do again.

Lu Yan turned to look at Lu Sheng: "Shall we play chess?"

Lu Sheng was shocked: "You can also play chess?"

Lu Yan snorted, of course she can't play Go...but she can play backgammon!

The two of them took two branches and sat on the ground. They drew a grid on the ground. One person drew circles and the other blackened them. They really got up and down until the smell of bone soup became more and more fragrant and wafted from the kitchen. When it came out and floated into their noses, Lu Yan threw away the branch and got up and went to the kitchen.

A pot of milky-white bone soup was ready. Lu Yan divided half of it out for stewing meat in the afternoon. The remaining half is just enough to cook a pot of noodles for lunch.

Lu Yan mixed another bowl of noodles, kneaded it a few times, rolled it out, stretched the noodles, and put them into the bone soup. After serving, sprinkle with a handful of chopped green onions, it looks nice and delicious. Lu Sheng had been eating sweet potato starch all morning, and now he was hungry. He inhaled three large bowls like crazy, washed the bowls, and went to read.

The starch water has almost stood still, and when the water is poured out, a large pot of wet starch remains. Lu Yan turned it over with a spoon and put it in the yard to dry, just in time for the noon sun to bask in it. She finished making the starch and went into the kitchen again. Now that the dough was almost done, Lu Yan made about thirty lotus leaf cakes and divided them into four pots before steaming them.

While the lotus leaf cake was steaming, Lu Yan sorted out the seasonings for the stew. Lu Yan didn't plan to braise it this time. Instead, she used the braised pork recipe that she had improved in modern times. It took a long time just to mix it with these spices. But don’t tell me, even so, buying all the condiments is cheaper than sugar. Candy is indeed a luxury product. No wonder candied haws can be sold for 8 cents a bunch.

After the lotus leaf cake is steamed, start stewing the meat. Lu Yan cut out fifteen pieces of two kilograms of meat, put in the seasonings and stewed it in bone broth. The meat has been stewed for an hour. It is soft and delicious, and the whole yard is filled with the aroma of meat. Lu Yan took out the meat separately and poured the broth into another basin.

The starch was almost dried, so Lu Yan went out to collect a jar of dry starch and came back.

The starch was taken back, and the broth was used to make the stew. When the stew was all ready, the afternoon passed like this. The lotus leaf pancakes, stews and stewed meat that will be sold at the stall the next day are all ready, and the shredded potatoes will have to be fried before leaving the next day.

The food set up at the stall cannot be eaten at home every day. Lu Yan thought that she might just eat cabbage today because she ate radish yesterday, so she took out a cabbage, washed it, chopped it into pieces to remove the moisture, and spread out a pot of cabbage pie.

The cabbage pie is sweet and crispy and once again won everyone's love. Lu Sheng killed one of them in three or five mouthfuls, and finally took a breath after eating three in a row.

"I think you can make money by selling this." Lu Sheng came up with an idea while eating: "Chinese cabbage is so cheap. If you sell this cake for two cents each, a lot of people should buy it, and we can still make some profit."

"Not necessarily." Mr. Lu said, "Although it is delicious, people at that time really didn't care about cabbage. It is estimated that few people would take the initiative to buy it."

Lu Yan touched her chin: "Everything you say makes sense. Let's see how it goes. I'll sell lotus leaf cakes first. Once we start making them, we can add other tricks."

Lu Yan asked Boss Lu for a wooden board and asked Lu Sheng to write a sign for her. At Lu Yan's request, Lu Sheng took a brush and wrote the two characters "Lu Ji" on the wooden board. It was done in one go and was very elegant. Even though Lu Yan didn’t know how to read, she thought it looked pretty.

Lu Yan was thinking about her business and got up early the next day before dawn.

Lu Yan went to the kitchen and quickly fried some shredded potatoes, leaving half and five lotus leaf pancakes for breakfast at home, and put the remaining half in a jar. He also heated up the stew and stewed meat and put them in separate jars. She added a piece of red-hot charcoal to the bottom of the thermos bucket that Boss Lu made for her, covered it with two layers of lids, put the three jars and about thirty heated lotus leaf cakes into the bucket, and covered it with one layer. The quilt was put on the donkey cart. She also took the chopping board, knife, hundreds of small bamboo sticks that Boss Lu had cut for her, a table to put things on, and a small bamboo basket to hold money, and drove the donkey cart to the town.
