At the break of dawn, with a slight chill in the air, Lian's business was exceptionally prosperous. With the arrival of autumn, Lian's menu had made subtle seasonal adjustments. The staple foods hadn't changed much, only the porridge had switched from mung bean porridge to millet porridge in the summertime, and the soup from sea wood ear soup to shredded radish and pork bone soup.
As the sun rose higher and higher, the coolness of the morning gradually dissipated, and the dew also retracted.
Lian Manman and Lian Zhizhi each carried a basket and came out of the shop to the vegetable garden in the back to pick long beans. It was the peak season for flat beans, with lush, green beans hanging in clusters and plump, emitting a unique fragrance, and the flowers, both white and purple, bloomed in clusters.
Since Lian's employed sufficient staff, and with Lady Zhang and Lian Shouxin overseeing things, the two sisters no longer had to help in the shop.
