On the second day, Daya from the Zhao family and Songzi from the Guo family came to the Li family early in the morning. They put on new clothes that they were reluctant to wear on weekdays, dressed neatly and cleanly, and appeared outside the door of the Li family.

It turned out that their mother listened to Xiaocao's words and said that in the food business, the most important thing to pay attention to is neatness and cleanliness.

The girl specifically emphasized this to them before the food shop opened!

Although they no longer have to work in the shop, they can still run the food business, so they just do what they are told, and don't let the girl remind them about these trivial matters, and consciously take good care of their children.

"You guys came so early? Have you had breakfast?" Li Yan asked as she led the two of them to the workshop.

"Girls, we all came here with a full stomach!" The mother of these two people was very happy because the two children could also make money. She made a big bowl of hand-rolled noodles for them early in the morning. This treatment was much better than the corn porridge they had in the past.

Li Yan led the two to the innermost kitchen and sat down in front of it, demonstrating to the two children: "Besides keeping the fire burning vigorously at the beginning, during the subsequent cooking process, you only need to add some firewood from time to time to ensure that the stove is burning!"

The two children were already good at doing housework. After hearing Li Yan's instructions, they both nodded quickly.

Li Yan gave her position to the two of them, letting each of them guard a kitchen, while she went out to prepare goods for her cousin.

The soy sauce and marinated chicken prepared in advance had already been carried onto the mule cart by Zhao's father and son.

Seeing Li Yan coming over, Li Jianmin walked over to his cousin and said, "The market is getting quite popular now. Do you think we should prepare the roast chicken? Also, I've noticed a lot of vendors selling scallion oil noodles in the market these past few days. It's having a bit of an impact on our business!"

Li Yan nodded: "Okay, I understand, big brother goes first."

After seeing off my cousin and his group, not long after, some villagers came to the door carrying soy sauce to sell. Unlike yesterday when there were only a few villagers, there were more than ten men in the village today.

The reason was simple: the people in Murakami had been staying at the village entrance yesterday, chatting about family matters while waiting for the soy sauce sellers to come back. They wanted to see if they could sell all the soy sauce and make some money.

The answer could be seen from the smiles on the faces of those people after they entered the village, so there was no need to ask further.

Today, the villagers came to Li's house in tacit understanding, and also planned to carry soy sauce out to sell.

One of the villagers notified relatives in nearby villages overnight, and these relatives came over this morning, ready to carry the soy sauce out to sell with them.

But these people are different from the villagers in Lijia Village. They are really poor and their families really cannot afford any money.

The two men were carrying eggs on their backs, their faces filled with anxiety. Their village was different from Lijia Village. The villagers of Lijia Village had been selling charcoal with the Li family since the end of last year, and had helped the Li family with work this spring, so they had also earned some money.

Their families in the village didn't have much savings to begin with, and they suffered a snowstorm at the end of last winter. Even now, not many families can afford to share over a hundred eggs. When it was their turn, the two men rubbed their hands together and said to Li Yan, "Miss, I have a hundred eggs here. I wonder if I can exchange them for a jar of soy sauce?"

"Of course I can. This jar of soy sauce costs eighty-two coins. Can I give you the other twelve coins?"

The man nodded rapidly, indicating his agreement.

He listened to his relative's advice and thought that if he sold this jar of soy sauce, he could earn more than 20 cents a day. If he was bold enough, he might even make double the money. So he called him to join him, and the two of them prepared to go to the next town together.

During the morning, people came to the house from time to time to bring soy sauce, and Li Yan sent away wave after wave of guests.

Only when the sun was high in the sky did Li Yan finally take a rest.

As soon as Li Yan was free, the little tail sitting under the eaves came over. Ever since his brothers and sisters went to the city to look after the shops, Maomao liked to come next door to play with his second sister every day.

"Second sister, what is this?"

"Second sister, why can fermented black beans be used to make soy sauce?"

"So what is fermentation?"

Children are like that, they seem to have endless questions. Li Yan also tried her best to explain it to him in words that he could understand.

It’s just that sometimes he asks questions that I really can’t explain.

After following her for the past few days, Li Yan suddenly realized that she should send the child to an early childhood education institution.

After the guests left, Maomao slid down from the small bamboo stool under the eaves and jumped back to his second sister.

In his heart, his second sister is simply amazing. She knows everything. When he asks his second sister about something he doesn't understand, she will patiently explain it to him. Unlike his parents who just let him go and play, he likes to stay with his second sister.

Li Yan saw the child jumping in front of her and touched his head. This child is also a well-behaved child. He never comes up to disturb her when she is busy, and only comes over when there is no one around!

"Did you remember the Three Character Classic I taught you yesterday?"

The little guy nodded rapidly. His uncle had taught him these things before, so for him it was just a review.

"Then recite it once. If you've memorized it well, Second Sister will make you something delicious!"

"Man is born good." The little guy recited it while shaking his head.

After Mo finished reciting a passage, the little guy puffed out his chest proudly, and his expression seemed to be saying, come and praise me.

"Maomao is so great. Second sister made it for you at noon!" The beautiful little guy followed Li Yan happily.

After comforting the little guy, Li Yan went to the kitchen to check on the two children and told them when not to add firewood and when to seal the soy sauce. With the help of the two, Li Yan didn't have to waste a whole day there and turned around to prepare the ingredients.

With her hands free, Li Yan began to prepare a new dish - fried noodles with soybean paste.
