Zhao Shiyun unexpectedly liked the pumpkin pancakes and ate three in a row before stopping. Zhao Qiming didn't like sweet food and stopped after eating one.
"Brother Yan, are you selling this pumpkin pie?"
"Sell it as breakfast food. Bring the pumpkin from home tomorrow." Lin Yan replied while chewing on a pumpkin pie, "I put sugar in it, but I think it's okay without it. The taste is good enough."
"Then don't put it in, it will save some money."
In the afternoon, Li Yuemei brought back a jar of pickled cabbage and placed it in the kitchen cupboard. Lin Yan took a look at it and thought it was in good condition and would probably last for a while.
Over the past few days, they have been making bean curd sheets and drying them in the yard. Lin Yan went to check on the ones he made on the first day. They were already dry. Lin Yan found a backpack and put them in it, and would take them to the shop tomorrow.
There are quite a few things to bring to the shop, including homemade sauerkraut, pickled vegetables and eggs. You can bring some, and save as much as possible.
Lin Yan went into the storage room again to see if there was anything else he could take. There were a few strings of dried chilies in the corner, the red color was very pleasing, so he put them in the backpack as well. Then he carefully checked the items in the backpack again to make sure nothing was missed. Just as he was thinking, he heard familiar footsteps coming from outside. It turned out to be Li Yuemei. She came in and saw the full backpack and asked, "Brother Yan, do you want to take the bacon?"
"No need to bring any, there aren't many left. Let's just eat it at home." Lin Yan temporarily planned to make three dishes, featuring Zhao's tofu, and truly turn it into a store specializing in selling tofu.
"That's fine. Bring some meat when you come back tomorrow so you don't have to get up early to buy it when the shop opens the day after tomorrow."
There is still half of the chicken we got for Qingming Festival. Lin Yan hung it in the well yesterday. We have to eat it quickly, otherwise it won’t last long.
The chicken is already cooked, just add some side dishes and stir-fry. Lin Yan plans to stir-fry the chicken offal with sour beans and add some chili peppers to stimulate the appetite.
Lin Yan had just grabbed a bag of mushrooms from the utility room and put a spoonful of hot water in a basin to soak them. He planned to make mushroom chicken.

Lin Yan washed and chopped the soaked shiitake mushrooms. He poured oil into a wok, heated it, and added the scallions, ginger, and garlic. He then added the diced chicken and stir-fried it until it became golden and fragrant. He then added the mushrooms, stir-fried them together, added some soy sauce for color, and added water to simmer.
Elsewhere, Li Yuemei cut the pickled beans into appropriate pieces, sliced the chicken kidneys and livers, and cut the chicken intestines into sections. Lin Yan's mushroom chicken was almost done, its aroma filling the kitchen. After serving the mushroom chicken, he began to stir-fry the pickled beans and chicken offal. First, he added the chili peppers to the wok, instantly bringing out the spiciness. Then, he added the other ingredients and quickly stir-fried them over high heat. The distinctive sour flavor of the pickled beans blended with the chicken offal, creating a deliciously sour and spicy flavor.
After the dishes were ready, they brought them to the table and invited everyone to eat. Lin Yan picked up a piece of chicken and mushroom and put it in his mouth. The chicken was tender and the mushrooms were soaked up the broth, giving it a rich flavor. Li Yuemei tried the sour beans and chicken offal; the sour and spicy taste whetted her appetite. Yu Ge'er scooped a large spoonful directly into his bowl and mixed it with rice.
"It's so delicious, brother-in-law." Yu Ge'er felt so happy. Since brother-in-law came into the family, he could eat delicious food every day.
Zhao Shiyun joked, "You eat so much, be careful not to become a fat guy."
Yu Ge'er stopped talking instantly, puffed up his cheeks and kicked Zhao Shiyun angrily. Lin Yan couldn't help laughing and kicked Zhao Shiyun with his foot, "Don't talk nonsense."
Yu Ge'er snorted and decided to ignore his brother today.
"Go to bed early after dinner, you have to get up early tomorrow." We have to make a lot of tofu tomorrow, as well as tofu pudding and soy milk, so the whole family has to get up early.
After washing his feet and brushing his teeth, Zhao Shiyun massaged Lin Yan's shoulders. Lin Yan felt a little sleepy and leaned his head back on Zhao Shiyun. "Brother Shiyun, I'm a little worried. Will our shop business be good?"
Zhao Shiyun put his arms around him and said, "Don't worry, the food you cook is so delicious, you won't have to worry about not being able to sell it."
Yes, Lin Yan felt that thinking too much would only add to his troubles. After all, the shop had been rented, so he had to continue the business no matter what.
"We'll bring ten sheets of tofu tomorrow. Is that enough?"
"It's almost done. It would be best if they were sold out. If not, just take it back. It won't be a problem."
Zhao Shiyun pulled Lin Yan onto the bed, shook out the quilt and let him lie down. "Okay, don't think too much. Go to bed early. I have to get up early tomorrow."
Lin Yan lay down obediently, drowsy: "Okay..."
Zhao Shiyun got out of bed, blew out the oil lamp, and went to sleep with her husband in her arms.
