Stepmother in charge: Making a fortune through farming and raising her children to fight back

At this moment, Yun Zhenzhen came out of the kitchen, her face filled with smiles: "Don't go, we are having a feast today, and I would like to trouble all the uncles to stay for a simple meal, so as to bring some popularity to my new house."

Several men were stunned. There was indeed such a thing as the "beam-raising wine" ceremony, but other hosts would treat their workers to a good meal, and they had never heard of anyone inviting villagers to dine together.

Seeing that they were hesitant, Old Lady Qin came out to help: "I've made some wontons and a few home-cooked side dishes. Young men, come quickly and prepare to eat."

After all, it was a new house being built, so Old Lady Qin knew the limits and gave them a good meal so that everyone would work hard to build the house.

The whole family will have to live here for decades, and if anything goes wrong, the host family will suffer, so we can't be careless.

Seeing that Old Lady Qin, who was known for being stingy, had spoken, the men stopped making excuses and walked into the yard.

The next second, they were all stunned.

There were several large pots of red oil dumplings in the yard. Regardless of the filling, the glossy soup alone was enough to make everyone salivate.

Just as I was surprised, Qin Wen brought out a few more dishes, including scallion-flavored eggs, spicy stir-fried potato shreds, boiled cabbage, and even a large bowl of pork belly with minced meat sauce. There were some black and white things in it, which should be mixed with mushrooms, but half of it was meat. It was already a very good meal.

In an instant, the whole yard was filled with the aroma of meat, and the men present who had lived for decades couldn't help but drool.

"This... this is too sumptuous." Qin Zhengqiang held back his saliva and scratched his head: "Or... let's go home and eat. It's too extravagant for so many of us to eat here..."

Qin Zheng is the son of the village chief. When the village chief heard that Yun Zhenzhen was going to build a house, he called him over without saying a word.

He is the backbone of this group of people. After he said so, no matter how greedy the others are, they can only give up and refuse together. After all, it is not easy for anyone to have meat these days.

What if Qin Yun tries to be too arrogant and ends up eating all the food for her family?

Yun Zhenzhen picked up a bowl and personally handed it to Qin Zheng: "Brother Qin, just eat in peace. I've already put it in the pot and cooked it. If you don't eat it, it will be a waste."

"Besides, there will be many more times when we have to trouble you when we build the house. If you don't want to eat, do you think you don't want to help with the work?"

Qin Zheng looked at the workers who had already started eating, then looked at the bowl of wontons in his hand. The tempting aroma was testing his willpower.

After hesitating for a while, he nodded heavily: "Okay, brothers, let's eat. After eating, we must double the work for Sister Qin..."

"it is good!"

Then the men walked to the big pot, lined up to pick up the wontons, added the臊子, picked up a few chopsticks to stir-fry the vegetables, and walked to the gate of the yard to eat with their mouths full of delicious food.

Qin Zheng walked under the big tree with the bowl of wontons covered with meat sauce, picked up one and put it in his mouth.

"Hmm...meat...pork and cabbage stuffing."

My god, Qin Yun is so generous.

Take another bite.

"This one has pork and chive filling. Not bad, I love it."

"There's also pork and green onion. I think pork and green onion is the best."

"This looks like pork and mushroom."

"..."

A group of men couldn't wait to stuff the dumplings into their mouths one after another as if they were opening a blind box.

Some men only ate half of the dumplings and did not eat the rest. They secretly wrapped the dumplings in leaves and put them inside their clothes to prevent them from getting dusty. They would then take them home and let their wives and children taste them.

There was a lively atmosphere of eating outside, and the main room was also filled with joy.

There were also wontons on the table, but with a few more dishes, including pork belly and twice-cooked pork.

The children at home always crave meat and have to do a lot of work every day, so Yun Zhenzhen doesn't want to treat them badly.

Xu Ling'er, who had just arrived at this house, was very surprised. The house looked so dilapidated and she thought she would eat brown rice porridge, but she didn't expect the food to be so rich.

After everyone started to eat, she carefully picked up a piece of something called chao shou and took a bite, and was immediately stunned.

This taste is so wonderful.

The meat inside is the same as the dumpling filling, but it is more delicious, the skin is thinner, and it tastes tender and juicy.

Then she extended her chopsticks to the plate of pork belly.

Mmm...delicious.

It is smooth and delicious, soft and juicy, with the right balance of salty and sweet. Most importantly, it does not have the usual pork smell.

This tastes even better than what the Xu family’s chef cooks.

The chef of the Xu family is a distant relative of my father. He once worked in the palace. If he had not been expelled from the palace due to his poor social skills, her family would not have been able to eat the food prepared by the imperial chef.

But she saw Sister Yun prepare this meat in the kitchen with her own eyes. Could it be that the dishes made by any ordinary woman in the village could be more delicious than those made by the royal chef?

Xu Ling'er hadn't eaten a single grain of rice during the two days she spent in the brothel. She quickly put aside the messy thoughts in her mind and started to eat seriously.

But even so, she ate slowly and gracefully.

Unlike those kids in my family who eat like wolves.

"Mom, the food you cook is so delicious." Xiao Nan's mouth was full of food, and he was hesitant when he spoke: "I want to eat the food you cook all the time in the future."

"Okay~" Yun Zhenzhen touched her head lovingly.

Old Lady Qin couldn't help nodding beside her. "The cooking skills of the third daughter-in-law are really amazing. You've almost spoiled my taste buds."

"Me, me too!"

Qin Wen and Qin Li hurriedly raised their hands to show their loyalty.

At the entire dinner table, only Xu Ling'er and Yun Jing were eating seriously.

In fact, the two of them had already been conquered by the delicious food in their hearts, but they just didn't express it out loud like they did.

After dinner.

The family was leaning back in their chairs digesting their food. The dishes had been cleared away, but no one had washed them yet.

"Mom, is it Sister Xu's turn to wash the dishes today?" Xiao Nan asked innocently, "Everyone has finished washing their round, so whose turn is it now?"

The dishes at home have always been washed in turns. This is the rule set by Yun Zhenzhen, and Xiao Nan always keeps it in mind.

Qin Li came over and said, "How about I take a shower first today? Miss Ling'er just arrived and I'm afraid she's not used to it yet."

Xu Ling'er on the side started to prepare to wash the dishes. She walked over awkwardly to get water for rinsing, and prepared to pour a large basin of water directly on them.

"Wait!" Qin Li stopped her. "Although it has rained recently and the water in the well shows no signs of drying up, the other well in the village has not produced water yet. We still have to use it sparingly."

"I'm sorry...I don't know." Xu Ling'er's voice was a little hoarse.

When we wash dishes, we should wipe them with a towel first and then rinse them with water. This will save a lot of money...

"It's okay." Yun Zhenzhen glanced at the bewildered Xu Ling'er and said softly, "Go help feed the piglets first. We'll handle this. You can learn it later. There's no rush."

Xu Ling'er nodded and followed Xiao Nan obediently to feed the pigs.
