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

Yun Zhenzhen's home.

Xiaonan and the other children heard some noise outside and didn't know what happened, but when they saw the familiar oil paper, they knew that it must be someone coming from the town again.

"Mom, the snacks smell so good!"

Xiao Nan looked at the pastries in front of her in a baby voice, and the look in her eyes was obvious.

Yun Zhenzhen scratched her nose in annoyance and said, "Little greedy cat, give each of the brothers a piece to try, and the rest can be eaten together when the guests come later."

After that, she went into the kitchen and started preparing food.

Since the county magistrate and the teacher are staying for dinner, the meal must be sumptuous.

Steam a pot of rice first. It doesn’t matter whether there are vegetables or not, the main thing is to make sure you are full.

First, cook the rice in the pot until it is half cooked, then take it out and continue to steam it. I use the steamer that I asked Old Man Qin to help make a few days ago. Now that there are more and more people in the family, it is more convenient to use the steamer to steam rice.

The town is cylindrical in shape, hollow at the bottom, and rice is placed in the middle with a baffle. Add water to the pot and start steaming.

The rice made in this way has a fresh bamboo fragrance, which is the town rice she learned from her grandfather in her previous life.

Do this when there are a lot of people around, it’s delicious and convenient!

The lunch dishes were quite rich. I had half a bucket of prawns left over from yesterday, so I made some spicy prawns. Then I peeled the fresh prawn shells, removed the shrimp threads, and made some stir-fried shrimps.

When the eldest brother went to Sanchaji, he brought back a lot of fresh vegetables. He made mapo tofu, stir-fried bean sprouts, spicy and sour potato shreds, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, twice-cooked pork slices, and a plate of rich braised food platter.

The dishes on the table are neatly arranged, which looks very appetizing.

After finishing, Yun Zhenzhen asked Awen to call the county magistrate and the new teacher to come and have dinner together.

Since they were in the countryside, there were no such common customs as in the city where men and women sat at different tables, so they simply put two large tables together, which was just enough for everyone to sit.

There was also a pot of wine in the middle of the table, which was what Manager Xu had packed and brought back for them last time. No one at home drank it, so it was just right for entertaining guests.

As the eldest son in the family, Qin Li should stand up and pour wine for everyone.

First it was the county magistrate, and then it was Master Yan.

After everyone took their seats, the meal officially began.

Master Yan casually picked up a few dishes with his chopsticks, took a bite, and was immediately stunned.

Isn't this a remote village? Isn't the food here farm-style? Why is it so delicious?

During his time in the capital, he had tasted all kinds of delicacies, but he didn't expect to find the most authentic delicacy in a mountain valley.

He picked up the chopsticks and picked up a few other dishes. Each one was delicious in its own way, especially the spicy prawns. The aroma was sweet and fresh with the fragrance of shrimp meat, and the aftertaste was a bit spicy. He couldn't forget it after one bite.

Absolutely!

He quietly looked at the other people at the table. Everyone looked normal and not too surprised. Even Lu Yunfeng was eating the food in his bowl with a calm expression.

It was as if he was the only one who had never seen the world.

He coughed, put down his chopsticks, and started chatting with others.

It just so happened that Lu Yunfeng wanted to talk to Qin Yun about potatoes again. Potatoes from other counties were now being harvested one after another, and the yields in several villages were also astonishing. If they were not properly preserved, losses might occur.

Yun Zhenzhen smiled and said, "Don't worry. I've asked my eldest brother and nephew to write down all the details about growing, digging, storing, and replanting potatoes next year. After dinner, this booklet will be taken back to the county government office with you so that people in other villages can follow suit and minimize losses."

"Good, good, good." Lu Yunfeng couldn't help but sigh and said three good words: "Madam Yun is really righteous. Qinjia Village and Madam Yun are a blessing to Yunding County and the people."

Now the potato harvest is good, and everyone can see its yield and speed of maturity. I can also sort out the harvest results of each village and then ask the county magistrate to write a memorial to report it.

Solid evidence will convince the adults above.

The contributions of Qinjia Village and the Qin Yun family must be remembered by the world.

This meal really made him feel comfortable. Even Ada and Aer, who were eating leftovers from the pot outside the door, nodded repeatedly.

The last time Ah San and Ah Si came here, they didn't come with them. After they went back, they couldn't stop thinking about it, which made them extremely curious.

This time, I finally managed to get the job to come to Qinjia Village and finally had the meal I had been longing for.

fragrant! It smells so good! !

No wonder Ah San and Ah Si want to run to this village when they have a day off.

If they could eat this kind of food every day, they would be happy even if they had to work every day.

The meal was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests.

After dinner, the county magistrate prepared to return to the city, and Yun Zhenzhen personally sent him to the door.

As soon as County Magistrate Lu left, Aunt Zhao came over with a bowl of soybeans. It was ostensibly a gift, but in reality...

"Sister, I'll bring you a bowl of beans. You can stew something at home or drink the soup. Hey, didn't the county magistrate come to your house again just now? Tell me, why does such a dignified official come to our village every day? Is there someone here that he cares about?"

Facing Aunt Zhao's gossipy look, Yun Zhenzhen felt a little helpless.

He is an official appointed by the imperial court. What does he have to do with a widow like me?

No wonder the people around her were whispering behind her back the last time she came. It couldn’t be that the whole village thought the county official was interested in her.

No, she doesn't like to be misunderstood, this matter needs to be explained clearly.

It's a good opportunity to use Aunt Zhao's mouth to let everyone know, and stop spreading these fabricated stories in the future.

"The County Magistrate came here to discuss the construction of a school and to find a teacher for our Qinjia Village. Secondly, he wanted to learn about the subsequent preservation of the potatoes so that he could report this to the County Magistrate."

Yun Zhenzhen looked at Aunt Zhao solemnly and said, "The County Magistrate is an official appointed by the imperial court. It doesn't matter if they gossip about me, a widow, but if we tarnish his reputation, we in Qinjia Village will truly become criminals."

Hearing this, Aunt Zhao realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately slapped her thigh: "Oh, we thought it was simple. We didn't expect this level. Sister, you are really clear-headed. From now on, if I meet someone who talks nonsense again, I will tell them to control their mouths and stop talking nonsense."

After saying that, Aunt Zhao stuffed the bowl of beans in her hand into her arms and immediately ran out in a hurry.

They were worried that Yun Zhenzhen had no bad intentions in her life, but if she did something bad because of this incident, that would be terrible.

It seems that I should communicate more with Yunmei when I encounter problems in the future, so as to prevent problems.
