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

Old Mrs. Qin had just finished her work at the workshop and was about to come over to talk to Yun Zhenzhen when she saw them preparing to eat.

He thought that his second son's wife should have prepared food at home, and he was about to turn around and go home.

Seeing this, Yun Zhenzhen went over and grabbed her: "Mom, don't go home today, just eat here. We've been busy for so long, and we just happened to have a lot of new offal at home. It's too big to keep, so let's eat something fresh."

"Grandma, don't go." Xiao Nan came out with a large basin of steamed pig's blood. "Mom made a lot of dishes today, including some I haven't eaten before. Please stay and eat."

Looking at the table full of dishes, Old Mrs. Qin was no longer awkward and went to help get stools and serve the dishes with a smile.

My third daughter-in-law is really amazing. Although we have separated from the family, she has sent all the good things to the old house in the past six months. The whole family has eaten so much of their good food. And they have also helped the village with all the things they have done. Everyone who sees them has to say good things about them.

The dinner table.

Old Lady Qin picked up a piece of pork liver and said, "Mm, this pork liver is fried well and tender. We old ladies can't make it taste this good."

"If you like it, eat more." Yun Zhenzhen said with a smile: "Every time I stir-fry pork liver, I put a lot of oil and seasonings, otherwise the flavor can't be suppressed. If I couldn't stir-fry it well before, I'll just practice more. You can try other dishes..."

"Okay." While eating, Old Lady Qin began to tell her about what had happened in the workshop recently, no matter how big or small.

Yun Zhenzhen couldn't help but be surprised when she heard this. Old Lady Qin must have put a lot of effort into this workshop, otherwise she wouldn't have remembered it so clearly.

There are dozens of people in the workshop every day. She knows everything, including who does what, how long they work, and whether they are lazy.

After the meal, everyone understood the situation of the workshop, and everyone was full and satisfied.

evening.

Yun Zhenzhen tidied up the thatch in the pigpen and also set up a new sleeping place for the piglets in the corner.

The pig trough that I asked Old Man Qin to make a few days ago has also arrived. There was an old one at home, but it was too high for the piglets to reach, so they made a new one with bamboo, which is just enough for them to eat.

Tonight the piglet had potato scraps with some wheat bran in them. She stirred it with a stick and it was warm, just right for eating without burning her mouth.

There is no other way. We ate potato flour every day some time ago, and the leftover potato residues were too much for my family to finish. They would go bad if left for a long time, so we had to feed them to pigs.

Old Mrs. Qin didn't say anything when she saw this scene. After all, the piglets were small and needed to be fed well. If they only ate wild vegetables, they might not be able to survive. If they fed well now, they would grow meat in the future.

He is still young now, so it’s okay to feed him so finely. But when he grows up, you can’t feed him anymore. The family can’t tolerate him eating too much.

Old Lady Qin thought about it and said, "When they grow up a little bit, I'll cook some pig grass. I can mix some potato peels in it and add the water I usually use for washing pots. The piglets will definitely grow rapidly."

Hot pot water is a good thing. Nowadays, their lives are good and they use more oil for cooking, so there is still a lot of hot pot water left.

Seeing the little piglets eating happily, everyone dispersed and went about their business.

Old Mrs. Qin did not go home directly, but stayed in the yard to help wash the mushrooms. While washing, she watched Yun Zhenzhen cutting a strange mushroom next to her.

It was fine before it was cut, it just looked a little familiar. The first cut was fine, it was yellow, but when the second cut was made, the previous cut had already begun to slowly turn green.

Ok?

A bit strange.

When the third cut was made, the original yellow color of the first cut could no longer be seen. Until the fourth cut was made, the first cut had turned blue and somewhat black.

This change frightened Old Lady Qin, who was helping to wash the mushrooms, so much so that her face turned pale.

"Old... Third Wife, this looks like the troublesome mushroom from the mountains. I guess... I can't eat it, right?"

As Old Lady Qin spoke, her voice trembled a little.

The color is so weird that the knife and cutting board used to cut the mushrooms may be unusable, which is another loss.

"Mom, don't worry, this thing is edible as long as it is prepared in the right way."

Yun Zhenzhen smiled and spoke.

"That's the right method... Does that mean this is really a troublesome fungus on the mountain?"

Old Lady Qin looked at the other colorful and oddly shaped mushrooms in her hand, and the corners of her mouth twitched: "If you eat something like this, it could kill you."

Yun Zhenzhen didn't answer her directly. Instead, she smiled and asked, "Mom, there was a small dish of black and yellow mushrooms on the table. Is that delicious?"

"It's delicious! This is the first time I've tasted such a delicious flavor in all my life. It's simply astonishing. If I could taste this flavor often, my life would not be lived in vain..."

Yun Zhenzhen smiled and nodded: "Yes! The one you liked the most just now is the mushroom I am cutting now."

Old Lady Qin: “…”

She suddenly felt her heart beating faster. She didn't know if it was too late to vomit it out now.

"When I went to the county, a professional chef told me that this thing can be eaten, but it needs to be fried at high temperature for about half an hour."

After hearing Yun Zhenzhen's explanation, Old Mrs. Qin finally breathed a sigh of relief and touched her chest to comfort herself. Good, she was still alive.

After washing the mushrooms, Yun Zhenzhen took out some clean winnowing baskets and spread them flat on them to dry in the sun for a few days. They can then be dried in the shade and stored. In winter, they can be taken out to make soup or stir-fried.

After finishing the work, everyone sat around the fire. It was already mid-November and the nights were very cold. Fortunately, everyone in the family had a woolen blanket.

After chatting for a while, everyone got up and went back to the house to prepare for bed. The eldest and the second oldest lived in the same room. The eldest was not at home today, so the second oldest took down his woolen blanket and folded it together so that he could sleep more soundly at night.

The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, Yun Zhenzhen's workshop began to get busy.

As soon as Yun Zhenzhen opened the door, she saw Erya sweeping the yard. From the chicken coop and pigpen in the backyard to the various cleanings in the front yard and the arrangement of items, she did a great job. Yun Zhenzhen became more and more confident in this child.

After breakfast, Yun Zhenzhen took Yun Jing to the town. They had delivered the blankets two days ago and didn’t know how the market response was. It was a good opportunity to go and take a look today and buy some things needed for the family.

After arriving in town, Yun Zhenzhen went straight to the Yaoyue Restaurant, but did not disturb Manager Xu. Instead, she chatted with Zhang Hong downstairs.

This guy is a reliable person. He is a frequent visitor in the town and goes to the county to buy things from time to time. He is familiar with the business of several surrounding counties and can be said to be a know-it-all.

It’s definitely a good idea to ask him for market information.
