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

The sound behind her gradually faded away, and Yun Zhenzhen didn't bother to care about these trivial matters. The main reason was that the bucket of screws was very heavy, and her whole hand was red from being squeezed.

After returning home, a group of children gathered around him curiously. Ah Wen said hesitantly, "Mom, this thing doesn't taste good, right? We used to break it up and feed it to the chickens at home."

"Just wait and see. This thing has a muddy smell because it's not eaten before. Once it's done, it's spicy and numbing. I guarantee you won't forget it after you try it once."

Yun Zhenzhen poured all the snails in a bucket into a large basin, replaced the water with clean water, and threw some salt in to let it spit out the sand.

After doing all this, she pinched Xiaonan's chubby face and said, "Leave it like this overnight, and I'll make it for you tomorrow."

"it is good!"

After putting the snails away, she prepared to pick beans to make a potato and bean dish in the evening. While she was busy, a figure suddenly walked towards the door.

After seeing who it was, she quickly stood up, wiped her hands, and greeted with a smile: "Master Yan, why are you here?"

This teacher is the teacher of the county magistrate. He is extraordinary in both knowledge and conversation. Yun Zhenzhen respects him very much, and the children in the village can also learn a lot of different things from him.

Master Yan coughed lightly and tried to sound natural: "Qin Yunshi..."

Yun Zhenzhen smiled and said, "Master, please don't be so polite with me. We will be interacting for a long time from now on, and calling me Qin Yunshi all the time will seem awkward. If you don't mind, just call me niece like the village chief, or call me Madam Yun."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Master Yan felt her difference. Her neither humble nor arrogant temperament was quite surprising.

He was originally curious about why his disciple was so eager to introduce him here to teach. In addition to giving him a place to stay and the good atmosphere in Qinjia Village, it was probably also because of Madam Yun.

He considered his tone and slowly said, "Madam Yun, I've taken the liberty of coming here today to ask you a favor. Can I eat with you guys from now on?"

He felt a little embarrassed, thinking that he had never been so presumptuous in his life.

There was a time when he would never have taken the initiative to show kindness to others just for a bite of food.

But after eating the lunch made by Madam Yun, and then eating the food from other families, the difference became apparent when comparing the two.

He thought he never cared much about food, but the food made by Madam Yun was really...

He rubbed his hands in his sleeves, feeling a little embarrassed. He was worried that he might scare her, so he continued quickly, "Don't worry, I won't eat for free. Just tell me how much you need for food every month, and I will definitely send it all."

"Don't worry about that." Yun Zhenzhen smiled and said, "I'll talk to the village chief and deduct it directly from your teaching fee. You can come to my house for food every day. If you don't have time, I'll send someone to deliver it. You can rest assured to teach in the village."

Hearing her nod, Master Yan felt relieved and said, "In that case, Madam Yun, I'll trouble you to take care of it."

After expressing their gratitude, Yan and his son left.

As he left, it was Village Chief Qin who followed him in. He approached with a blushing face and said, "Niece Yun, I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."

"It's also my fault that my wife's cooking is so ordinary, without rich seasonings and ingredients. We don't mind what she makes, but Master Yan is a scholar from the city after all. How can he be used to eating this? That's why I came to you..."

"But don't worry, I'll give you 500 coins for food every month. It's all paid out of the village's public account. If it's not enough, just tell me and I'll give you some more."

"It's okay, Village Chief. We're just cooking for one more person. We have to eat at home anyway." Yun Zhenzhen responded with a smile.

She did not refuse the request for food expenses. After all, the family had white rice for every meal, and meat and vegetables from time to time, and they were willing to use oil and seasonings. Five hundred coins a month was not too much.

Furthermore, teaching is a mental job, and one must eat well so that he will have more energy to teach children.

When she thought of the village full of unenlightened children, chattering and gathering together, she felt helpless for her husband.

The evening meal is simple.

A bowl of stewed beans and potatoes, a platter of leftover braised food from lunch, a small plate of pickles, some potato pancakes baked on the side of the pot, and eat with white rice porridge.

Perhaps because they were not familiar with each other yet, Master Yan did not come over in the evening. Yun Zhenzhen asked Awen to bring the food to him. After all, he was her future husband, so they had to communicate with each other first to cultivate a relationship.

Once everyone in the family is together, we can start eating.

The meal was very lively. At the table, Awen talked incessantly about what Professor Yan had taught today, and in the process he also interspersed some interesting stories in the capital, which the children in the village had never heard of.

After dinner, it was Xu Ling'er's turn to wash the dishes today.

I still remember that on her first day she broke a bowl every time she washed it. Now she can clean up the family's dishes very skillfully and put them neatly in the window.

Yun Zhenzhen went to the yard to change the water for the snails. This time she dropped a few drops of oil into it to make it easier for them to spit out the sand.

Night falls.

The moonlight was like water, shining into the yard like a piece of silver frost.

A kerosene lamp was lit in the kitchen, and Yun Zhenzhen was making chili oil to use for stir-frying snails tomorrow.

You can also add a little bit of it when eating potato pancakes in the morning. The whole thing will be fragrant and there is no need to make other side dishes.

Chili oil will be sweeter if lard is used. First add peppercorns, star anise, onion and garlic, fry until fragrant, then pour it into the chili bowl in batches, stirring while pouring.

The peppers on the mountain are similar to small pointed peppers. Once you pour oil on them, the overbearing pungent smell will penetrate into your nostrils and make you feel drunk.

The aroma of oil spread to the yard, and the whole family ran to the kitchen door to take a look. When they saw that it was chili peppers, they walked away silently.

Late in the evening, the Yun family's yard was filled with a strong smell of chili peppers. When the wind blew, the smell drifted to the village, and many children drooled when they smelled it.

After everything was packed up, it was already late at night and Yun Zhenzhen dragged her tired body to lie on the bed.

Before going to bed, Xiao Nan gave her a full body massage.

Yun Zhenzhen didn't feel relaxed enough, so she let Xiaonan stand on her back, stepping on her from top to bottom, feeling the softening of her body muscles, and then she gradually relaxed.

The next second, Xiaonan snuggled into her arms, and the mother and daughter fell asleep in each other's arms, covered with a blanket.

late at night.

A dreamless night.
