Travel to ancient times and become rich women with your bestie

Old Mrs. Chen had never seen such a kind of coquettish behavior before. She was confused by the flattery of the two people and did not notice that they were both calling her mother.

No one else had ever seen anything like this, let alone it was done by the old woman who had just looked so fierce, and their expressions became complicated for a moment.

"Alright, alright, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?" The old lady didn't really want to scold them, she was just scared when she thought of the way her mother and the others rolled in the mud just now.

"It's good that you're okay. Second son's wife, you guys should pack up quickly and go back to entertain that distinguished guest. We will go back too." Grandpa Chen and his family were also preparing to go back.

Zheng Yuan stepped forward and said, "Mom, Dad, and Big Brother, this manager also helped me get two carts of chicken manure. But this damn cow scumbag made a fuss and I'm afraid we won't be able to carry them all before dark. Could you please help us carry them so that the boys can go home earlier? You don't have to cook dinner at home, just come over to eat with us, okay?"

"You are a family, why would you help or not? How can you eat if you can only do this little work? Changning, you and Shitou go home and bring back a few more baskets."

"Then I'll take that as your agreement. Sanni, you go with your two brothers and tell your aunt that she won't cook this afternoon." Zheng Yuan naturally wouldn't listen to the old man and directly asked Sanni to inform her sister-in-law.

Seeing Sanni running away, Old Lady Chen pulled her over helplessly and said, "Child, you have a noble family at home. What will we do if we, the peasants, come to disturb them?"

"Mother, what do you mean by peasant? Could it be that the nobleman has two more eyes and a nose than you? Don't worry, I will tell the nobleman. The nobleman is very kind, don't be afraid."

"What do I have to be afraid of?" The old lady grumbled unconvincedly. In the end, she said nothing more, stepped forward to take the light and easy ones, and helped them carry some of them back.

Leaving the driver here, the group went home first, carrying what they could.

When they were almost at the door, they saw Mr. Jiang standing at the door looking in. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw them coming back, thinking that the lady had caught up with them.

He also saw that Zheng Yuan and her family were all covered in mud and were followed by some people he had never seen before. He quickly pulled Aji over and asked what was going on and why they had been gone for so long.

Aji whispered the whole story of the fight between Zheng Yuan's family and Niu Laizi, including the swear words which he imitated exactly.

Mr. Jiang was shocked when he heard this. These two aunts could always surprise him. At the same time, he regretted it in his heart. If only he had gone with them just now, he would have missed such a wonderful thing.

Seeing them whispering to each other, Old Lady Chen also pulled them over and asked, "Is that the noble person you were talking about?"

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin nodded.

"This noble man doesn't look like a difficult person to get along with, but why are his clothes in this state? They don't look much cleaner than mine." Old Mrs. Chen frowned as she looked at Mr. Jiang's clothes.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin laughed. As expected, no mother could bear to see a piece of clothing become like this.

The two of them recounted how Mr. Jiang and his party came here yesterday, what they experienced, and how they stayed here. The old lady was surprised that someone would rather give up the big brick and tile house in the city and live in this shabby thatched house.

After explaining these things, Zheng Yuan walked to Mr. Jiang and said, "Mr. Jiang, my in-laws stood up to support us today, and I want to invite them to dinner. Don't worry, we will never disturb you. As for the dishes you brought, I wonder if I can buy some with you?"

"Aunt, why are you being so polite? I am the one who disturbed you. Aji has just told me that the two aunts are also trying to protect my reputation. I admire the old lady and her family. It is my honor to have dinner with you all. This dish was originally brought for us to eat together. As for whether to buy it or not, just let Aunt decide."

"By the way, don't set the table for me alone tonight, let's eat together."

"Okay, okay." Zheng Yuan agreed repeatedly. This young master was a very easy-going person except that he was a little stubborn.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin went into the house, changed their muddy clothes, and prepared to start cooking.

The old lady didn't go with them, as she had to help prepare meals for more than twenty people in total.

All the things and ingredients needed from the kitchen just now have been brought up. After asking the old lady to light the fire, Zheng Yuan looked through what Mrs. Zhang and Aji had prepared.

As he was flipping through the pages, Zheng Yuan suddenly burst into laughter, startling the old lady and Duan Minmin who were lighting the fire and washing the pot nearby.

"Yuanbao, are you crazy? What are you laughing at?"

"Mom, Amin, we are in for a treat. Come and have a look. Look at the bean paste, soy sauce, sugar, fine salt, as well as the big pork, processed chicken, and big goose..."

The two came over and were stunned. My God, these are some good things.

Even a lot of pots, pans, and utensils were prepared. Is this what a wealthy family should do?

After the ecstasy, Zheng Yuan was a little worried. Such old things could not be stored, especially when the weather was hot. Although they knew how to make ice, Mr. Jiang was here, and he was not stupid. If he was discovered, it would probably bring disaster.

Forget it, don’t think about it anymore. Let’s prepare today’s meals first. With so many people, it should consume a lot.

Since we have benefited from Mr. Jiang's influence, the food must be completely according to his taste. As for other people, they don't have the chance to eat such delicious food on a normal day, so why would they be picky?

Zheng Yuan had an idea in mind after just looking through the ingredients. He planned to make sweet and sour pork, braised pork, green bean pancakes, braised eggplant with sauce, stewed chicken with mushrooms, and a dish of dipping sauce with egg.

Although she didn't know what the main dishes in Northeast China were at that time, Mr. Jiang liked the sweet and sour pork made that day very much. She thought that these classic dishes of Northeast China in later generations would be to his liking.

At this time, her eldest sister-in-law and Wang Yulian also came with Sanni, and they were a little embarrassed to think about what to say. Zheng Yuan had already found all the things needed and handed them to them to help prepare the dishes. Duan Minmin was still responsible for keeping the fire going, and she quickly stewed the chicken.

The more people there are, the faster the food will be. As soon as Zheng Yuan finished steaming the rice, they had already prepared all the dishes. There was nothing to do at the moment, and they were too embarrassed to go out since Mr. Jiang was in the yard, so they all crowded into the kitchen to watch Zheng Yuan cook.

"Old Second, where are you going to carry this dung?"

"Dad, please help carry them to the empty pigpen at the back!" Zheng Yuan was too busy to go out and greet them, and shouted loudly outside.

There were so many dishes today and the portions were so large that Zheng Yuan felt like his arms weren't his own.

The old lady and the others watched her spatula flying up and down with ease, and they were amazed that the second son's family had such a skill. They felt that they had never seen many of these dishes. The smell was coming into their noses, and they felt that they were about to be dizzy by the fragrance in the kitchen. They tried their best to hold back their saliva.

The last piece of sweet and sour pork came out of the pot, and the dish was still delicious while hot.

Finally, it was finished before dark. Zheng Yuan wiped the sweat from his forehead. Duan Minmin ran up to him and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Chef. Thank you for your hard work, Chef."

Zheng Yuan also let her massage his arm, which was really sore.

The people who had already finished moving their things in the yard were delighted when they saw Zheng Yuan coming out. They had been so hungry in the yard for a long time and now they could finally eat.

There were too many people and Zheng Yuan only had two tables at home, so he asked Chen Jiadong and his son to go home and bring over a table and some stools.

It was no longer raining, and the ground in the yard was paved with sand and was not muddy. Zheng Yuan simply asked the children to move all the tables out and sit in the yard to eat.
