At 2:15 PM, all the ingredients were sold out. Lin Yan clapped his hands, his eyes filled with uncontrollable joy. "Brother Shiyun, Mom, Brother Yu, the ingredients are all sold out. Let's pack up and get ready to go home!"
The others were also overjoyed. They didn't dare to prepare too much ingredients on the first day of opening, only about fifty servings, but they were all sold out, and they closed the stall so early. It seems that they can increase the quantity tomorrow.
Li Yuemei put the meat she had just bought at the market into the basket. The bulk of the business was tofu, which she would make at home tomorrow morning. She also had some pumpkins, and the vegetables were all grown at home, so she only needed to buy meat.
"I'm going to West Street to see if my grandma has finished selling the vegetables." Lin Yan said after wiping the last table.
"Okay, go ahead and we'll take care of the rest."

Zhou Chunlan didn't bring many dishes today. She had originally planned to sell them out quickly so she could help out, but then she saw there were four people in the shop, so she decided not to add to the chaos. On the way back, Zhou Chunlan couldn't help but ask, "Brother Yan, is business good today?"
Lin Yan replied: "It's fine. The ingredients were sold out long ago."
Zhou Chunlan breathed a sigh of relief: "Whatever vegetables you need, just go to the vegetable garden at home and pick them. There are plenty."
"Okay, I won't be polite to you."
When they got home, all the tofu was sold out. Zhao Qiming was surprised to see them back so early. "Why are you back so early? Is business slow?"
Li Yuemei glared at him: "Can't you think of something better? We just came back after selling all the vegetables."
Zhao Qiming smiled sheepishly and took the basket from Li Yuemei. "Then you guys take a rest first, I'll unload the things."
"Dad, no need, there aren't many things." Zhao Shiyun quickly unloaded everything.
Lin Yan went to the kitchen to pour some water and brought it to the yard. Yu Ge'er had been thirsty for a long time, so he took a big gulp, but he couldn't hide his excitement.
"Goff, that's great. Today's a good start."
Lin Yan was also very happy. He took out the cash box and said, "Let's count how many copper coins we earned today."
Li Yuemei asked them to go inside to count, otherwise what if they were seen by passers-by in broad daylight.
So Lin Yan, Zhao Shi, Yun Yu and the other two brothers closed the door and started to count in the room.
"Brother, I have three strings here." Yu Ge'er counted slowly, and by the time he finished counting, Lin Yan and Zhao Shiyun had already strung the rest.
"I have four strings here, your brother has four strings here, and there are 52 loose ones here." Lin Yan picked up the string of money.
"That's one or two more!" Yu Ge'er was excited.
"One thousand one hundred and fifty-two coins. Excluding the cost, I should have made a profit of four to five hundred coins." The meat is the biggest part, and the cost of soy milk, tofu, and bean curd also needs to be counted, as well as rice and flour. However, the vegetables and pumpkin are all from home, so Lin Yan also plans to give the cost to his mother. Since all the family members are going to help, they should also be counted as part of the money.
Yu Ge'er cheered and ran out to find Li Yuemei to report the good news.
Lin Yan looked at his back and couldn't help laughing.
"Brother Yan," Zhao Shiyun held Lin Yan's hand, "It is my blessing to marry you." He felt from the bottom of his heart that meeting Lin Yan was a great fortune for him. The couple lived in harmony and happiness, and their family was getting better and better. Although it was a bit tiring, he was happy with it.
Lin Yan's ears turned red. What kind of cheesy words was this guy saying in broad daylight? But he didn't pull his hand away, instead letting Zhao Shiyun hold it. "Brother Shiyun, let's save some money and rent a bigger shop. When we make more money, we can buy a house in that town and open a few more branches."
"Haha," Zhao Shiyun looked at the sparkle in Lin Yan's eyes and felt that he could definitely do it. "Okay, then open eight or ten of them."
Lin Yan chuckled. He was just joking. He didn't expect Zhao Shiyun to be so cooperative. But thinking about that was too far ahead. He should focus on the present.
Lin Yan came back early today and planned to steam some sea bass for everyone. He had just gone to West Street and bought the ingredients.
"Brother Shiyun, please help me kill the sea bass in the yard." Lin Yan handed the sea bass to Zhao Shiyun while he prepared the side dishes. He shredded the ginger, cut the scallions into sections, and thinly sliced the green onions. After cleaning the sea bass, he scored the body a few times to make it easier to season. He then spread the fish with salt, a little white wine, and some of the ginger and scallions, and marinated it for a quarter of an hour.
When the marinating is almost done, add water to the pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Put the sea bass in the steamer and steam it over high heat for a little more than half a quarter of an hour. Turn off the heat and simmer for a while.
Remove the steamed fish, pour out the liquid from the dish, and remove the scallions and ginger. Add shredded scallions and ginger to the fish, drizzle with a little soy sauce and a little white wine, and Lin Yan returns the pan to the boil, pouring in a spoonful of lard. Once the oil is hot, use a spatula to pour it over the fish. With a "sizzling" sound, the aroma instantly fills the air.
Lin Yan quickly fried some winter melon. He had been smelling it for a long time today but hadn't taken a bite yet. He was very greedy.
"It's time to eat." Seeing that the dishes were ready, Yu Ge'er took the initiative to serve the rice and dishes and called for help without Lin Yan having to do anything.
The family sat together, enjoying dinner happily. Lin Yan picked up a piece of fish and put it in Zhao Shiyun's bowl. "Brother Shiyun, you've worked hard today." Zhao Shiyun looked at him gently. "It's not hard, it's Brother Yan who has worked hard."
Li Yuemei looked up at the two of them and couldn't help but smile. She was happy that the couple had a good relationship.
Yu Ge'er's mouth was greasy with food, and he said incoherently, "The food cooked by Gefu is the best."
Lin Yan also picked up a piece for him, "Little greedy cat."
