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

evening.

The hunter in the village sent over two wild rabbits and three pheasants. Yun Zhenzhen didn't plan to use them to make braised meat. It was just right that her child was becoming an apprentice today, so she decided to hold a banquet for him.

The hunters processed the meat before sending it over. The meat is white and tender and can be cooked and eaten directly later.

Just then, Wang Ze tiptoed in.

“Aunt…Aunt!”

Yun Zhenzhen glanced at him and said, "Xiao Ze, I know you're a good kid. I think your father wanted you to come to Qinjia Village because he wanted you to study hard with Jing Ge'er, but I didn't expect you to hide here and read storybooks. In that case, I'll find a chance to explain things to your father and ask you not to come here again."

Hearing this, Wang Ze immediately became anxious: "No, auntie, although it was my father who asked me to approach you at the beginning, but after spending so much time together, you should be able to feel that I really want to make friends with you. I'm used to living here, please don't chase me away..."

As he said this, he took out the books from behind him and threw them into the stove. The fire immediately enveloped them.

Yun Zhenzhen wanted to stop him but failed. Seeing that he had made up his mind, she still spoke up, "You are all still children. I understand that you are obsessed with dialogue books, but you must not forget to study. These things are fine to read in moderation. Now you and Jing Ge'er are about to take the college entrance examination. Time is precious, so you should prepare for the exam first."

Wang Ze seemed a little touched as well. When he heard Yun Jing tell him to leave today, he suddenly realized that after being here for so long, he had developed feelings for the Yun family and the entire Qinjia Village.

He likes being here.

Wang Ze whispered, "I know I was wrong. I will study hard in the future. I will go to Brother Yun to apologize now."

Xiao Nan also followed behind and apologized: "Mother, I will definitely practice martial arts and study hard, and read less storybooks in the future."

Yun Zhenzhen gently touched her head and said, "Study hard with Master Yan. He is a good teacher and thinks highly of you."

When Master Yan met him, he once said that among the children in Qinjia Village, Awen and Xiaonan were the most talented, and Qin Zheng and Song Yuan were also promising students.

Since she has this talent, she hopes that children can keep reading.

After Wang Ze apologized to Yun Jing, he asked Xiao Nan and Wang Ze to go to the corner of the yard and reflect on their mistakes.

Wang Ze had never been treated like this since he was a child, but after thinking about it, he wanted to show his determination to study, so he obediently walked to the corner and stood there.

Yun Zhenzhen was busy in the kitchen.

Lai Fu poked his head in and asked, "Madam Yun, what are you cooking today?"

"Do you want to eat barbecue?" Yun Zhenzhen said with a smile. Some wild game had just been delivered, and it was best eaten grilled.

What is barbecue?

Xiao Nan and Wang Ze both looked over.

Lai Fu said excitedly: "Okay, okay, Madam Yun, just make whatever is convenient for you. We will eat everything."

Yun Zhenzhen understood that no matter what you eat, as long as it tastes good, it’s fine.

Wang Ze cried silently by the wall. Was Lai Fu really his servant? Why didn’t he ask him what he wanted to eat?

Yun Zhenzhen took out the bacon she had prepared earlier and washed some green beans, preparing to make a green bean and bacon stewed rice. She placed a large casserole on a small stove, and the aroma spread out in no time.

I took out another large cabbage, cut the prepared mushrooms and radishes into cubes and put them into the pot to stir-fry. After blanching the cabbage, cut it in half, put the stir-fried cubes into the leaves, wrap it into a purse shape, place it on a plate and put it into the steamer. After steaming, it becomes a simple eight-treasure blessing bag.

Lai Fu was guarding the door to see if there was anything he could help with, but he was already ravenous. Yun Zhenzhen had just put the food in the steamer when he saw several people at the door staring at him hungrily.

What I made today are all delicious things that I have never eaten before.

Wang Ze looked at Lai Fu, who looked like he had never seen the world, and couldn't help but roll his eyes: "What's the big deal? It's as if the county chef didn't feed him enough."

Lai Fu ran over happily: "Master, you don't know, Madam Yun made all the fresh food today. We have never seen it before, but it smells so good."

"Mrs. Yun made it before and it was delicious. I still savor it in my dreams. Master, can you bring me here every day in the future? I promise to obey you from now on."

Wang Ze also unconsciously recalled the taste of the braised pork and other dishes... Well, the taste was indeed delicious, and there was also the soft, glutinous and sweet pork belly.

For some reason, Wang Ze seemed to smell a fragrance.

He unknowingly stood with Lai Fu, craning his neck to look inside, completely forgetting what he had been doing.

"It smells so good, right, Master? I was right, wasn't I? I don't know what delicious food to eat today."

"Mrs. Yun's family eats so well every day. I'm a little envious of Xiaonan and the others, but I'm also Mrs. Yun's son, how great it is."

Wang Ze stared straight inside, ignoring Lai Fu, and unconsciously licked his dry lips. At this time, someone poked his waist, and Wang Ze subconsciously twisted his body: "Who is it? Don't touch me!"

Then the little hand poked restlessly again.

Wang Ze frowned and turned around, only to see Xiao Nan staring at him like an elder.

"Big cousin asked us to face the wall and reflect on our mistakes. How could you not obey? If I hadn't found out, I would definitely scold you. Come back with me and stay together."

Wang Ze had no choice but to follow him dejectedly.

Just then, the sound of horse hooves was heard outside the door.

Yun Zhenzhen specially sent someone to the county to greet Lu Xiancheng and invite him to dinner at the apprenticeship banquet tonight.

After all, whether it was Jing Ge'er's matter or the county magistrate's reward, he had helped in all of them. Since he had helped, I couldn't be stingy. It wouldn't be too much to treat him to a meal.

In the evening, there was game sent by hunters, and County Magistrate Lu brought a lot of food from the county. Yun Zhenzhen didn't intend to be polite. She would not stop until the fragrance of fresh food spread for ten miles.

Just start cooking with the same big pot and stove!

Remove the skinned and processed wild rabbit, remove the internal organs, scrape and clean them, and use a knife to make small incisions in the abdominal cavity and the inside of the hind legs when there is more meat.

Put onion segments, ginger slices, peppercorns and other seasonings into the abdominal cavity, then take out the finely ground salt and rub it on the surface to add flavor.

Use a special iron skewer to spread the whole rabbit, brush it with sauce and sugar color, and then apply a thick layer of sesame oil.

The oven was temporarily built in the afternoon, using fallen leaves from fruit trees and small pieces of wood as fuel. The meat roasted in this way has a rich aroma, tastes crispy and tender, and tastes more delicious.

Cover the stove mouth tightly with an iron pot and then seal it with yellow mud. In a short while, you can smell the fragrant meat coming from inside.

Yun Zhenzhen also invited Aunt Zhao, Old Lady Qin and several other people she knew to come and help, and have dinner together in the evening, which was lively and fun.
