Zhou Chunlan officially started selling tofu at the stall. She didn't put out too much, just five boards, and they were all sold out by the afternoon.
The peppers were almost ripe, and Lin Yan discussed with her whether to make chili sauce to sell. Zhou Chunlan thought it was feasible. They planned to collect more peppers in the village and sell them in the shop after making them.
Early that morning, when Zhou Chunlan was picked up, she was carrying a basket of tomatoes onto the donkey cart. Lin Yan was very surprised: "Oh, the tomatoes are ripe?"
Zhou Chunlan nodded. "I went to the vegetable garden yesterday and saw that it was almost ready, so I picked a basket. You can use it today and see how much you need. These can last for two or three days. I'll pick more the day before the next market."
She didn't go to sell vegetables every day, only when there was a market. She also sold tofu during the market, so the raw tofu was prepared in the shop every day and sold when there were customers buying.
Arriving in town, they first took Zhou Chunlan to West Street before heading to South Street. Zhao Shiyun carried the tomatoes down, and Lin Yan grabbed one, washed it briefly, and began to eat.
"Hmm~ sour, sweet, and crunchy." After saying that, he washed a few more and gave them to others to taste.
These tomatoes were indeed good, the right size, and their red color was festive. Lin Yan cut a few more and mixed them with sugar to eat.
After unloading the goods, we started selling breakfast snacks. Someone who came to eat breakfast early in the morning saw the basket of tomatoes that had not yet been carried into the kitchen. He picked up one and smelled it, and asked, "Boss, these tomatoes are good. How much are they?"
Lin Yan replied, "This is what I use for lunch. I'm not selling it. If you want to eat some, take some."
"No way, I want to buy a few more pounds."
"Then go to West Street, near the intersection, the fourth stall. My mom is selling there." Lin Yan took the opportunity to help Zhou Chunlan promote.
"Okay, I'll go after I finish my breakfast. Give me a bowl of salty tofu pudding, a pumpkin cake and a steamed bun." The man sat down in the store.
"I'll be right there." Lin Yan swiftly picked up the steamed buns and pumpkin cakes and brought them over, while Yu Ge'er brought the salty tofu pudding.

After selling breakfast food, they took a short break before preparing lunch. Lin Yan poured half a basket of tomatoes into a large basin, and Yu Geer volunteered to wash them while Lin Yan prepared the other ingredients.
Once you get used to this job, it becomes smooth and quick. Everyone has a clear division of labor and washes meat, vegetables and cuts them in an orderly manner.
Lin Yan washed the tomatoes, cut them in half, removed the tops with a knife, and cut them into small pieces. Because there were so many tomatoes, Lin Yan didn't plan to peel them. Although peeling the tomatoes would make them more delicate and juicy, it was too much trouble.
Beat the eggs into a bowl, add a small amount of salt and mix well; cut the green onion into sections, and mince the ginger and garlic.
Pour a proper amount of oil into the pan, pour in the egg liquid when the oil is hot, stir slightly, and when the egg liquid begins to solidify, use a spatula to gently turn it over so that the eggs are evenly heated. Fry until tender and slightly golden, then serve.
Then start frying the tomatoes. Add appropriate amount of oil to the pan again, add minced ginger and scallion segments and stir-fry until fragrant, then add chopped tomato pieces and stir-fry until the tomatoes are juicy and soft.
Add an appropriate amount of sugar and soy sauce and stir-fry evenly to balance the sourness of the tomatoes. Once the tomatoes have released their juices, add a small amount of salt to taste. Add the previously fried eggs to the pan and stir-fry evenly to allow the eggs to fully absorb the tomato juices.
Sprinkle with chopped green onions before serving, and a delicious tomato scrambled eggs is ready.
While there were no customers yet, Lin Yan quickly cooked some noodles. He had made some noodles specially in the morning, thinking of making scrambled eggs with tomatoes today to mix with the noodles.
After the noodles were cooked, Lin Yan invited everyone to come and eat first. He poured himself a bowl, scooped a spoonful of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and mixed it all in. After taking a delicious bite, Lin Yan closed his eyes in enjoyment.
"It's delicious!" Yu Ge'er praised loudly. This was his first time eating scrambled eggs with tomatoes. The golden scrambled eggs were wrapped in the sweet and sour tomatoes. Every bite was full of rich and mellow flavor, and the delicious taste ignited his tongue, making him unable to stop. If he hadn't thought about the guests coming soon, he really wanted to eat a few more bowls.
"Brother, do you have any tomatoes left? We'll eat them tonight." Yu Ge'er was still not satisfied.
Li Yuemei and Zhao Shiyun also liked it very much. Lin Yan nodded and said, "There is still half a basket left. Dad hasn't eaten it yet at home. I will cook it tonight."
"Great!" Yu Ge'er was so happy that he was instantly full of motivation.
Today's customers immediately spotted the yellow and red scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and some regulars ordered them immediately. As soon as it arrived, the sweet and sour aroma filled my nose, instantly whetting my appetite. The refreshing sweet and sour taste of the tomatoes, followed by the tender and fragrant egg, blended perfectly. Add a mouthful of rice smothered in the broth and it's a delicacy I wouldn't trade for.
This dish was so popular that it was almost sold out by noon. Lin Yan didn't plan to cook more, after all, he still had the other dishes. He had reduced the amount of minced pork tofu today, and the other two dishes were the same as usual. It would just take a little longer to sell, so he could get home later. Besides, he could make a little more money.
Originally, they were considering changing the menu every ten days, but Lin Yan wasn't planning on changing it, so making it a signature dish wouldn't be a problem. With their yuba becoming quite popular, and their family having a decent stockpile, it was time to sell some semi-finished yuba.
