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

When Old Lady Qin came over noisily, Yun Zhenzhen was processing small river crabs. She was preparing to make a spicy crab dish, and her hands were full of sauces. She didn't want to entertain Old Lady Qin, so she asked her to sit in the main room.

Old Mrs. Qin was not the type to sit idle, so she sat down in the kitchen to help watch the fire.

Put oil in the pot, pour the processed river crabs in, fry until crispy, then take them out and add chopped green onion, ginger, garlic, and dried chili segments. After the aroma comes out, put the river crabs back into the pot and fry together. Finally, sprinkle with salt and green onions, and a pot of spicy and crispy spicy crabs is ready.

Fry the carp you bought in oil first, chop it until golden brown, and cook a pot of milky white fish soup. After removing the residue, add mushrooms and tofu cubes to the remaining soup base and stew them together. A simple carp and tofu soup is ready.

Take out the preserved eggs made a few days ago, wash the surface clean, and you can smell a faint fragrance after peeling the shell. Preserved eggs are different from century eggs. The taste is not as mellow, and most people can accept it more easily.

Use a thin thread to divide the preserved egg into four equal parts, sprinkle with salt, soy sauce and chopped green onions, and finally pour a spoonful of hot oil on it. A fragrant cold preserved egg dish is ready.

Looking at the yellowish egg, Old Lady Qin's eyelids jumped: "My third daughter-in-law, why are these eggs this color? They are different from the ones we usually see. Did they go bad after being left for too long? They can't be eaten. Take them away quickly."

"No, mother, this is a new dish I made. It is this color when it is cooked. You can try it later. It tastes very good with rice." Yun Zhenzhen put the plate aside and looked at the remaining dishes.

A dish of stewed pork ribs with radish, a spicy crab, crucian carp and tofu soup, cold-mixed eggs, freshly cooked pork slices, and finally some spicy shredded potatoes and stir-fried green vegetables, and you're ready to eat.

The portion of each dish is very large, just enough for the whole family to finish, without any waste.

"Xiao Nan, tell your brothers and sisters to wash their hands and eat."

"Coming!"

A crisp child's voice came from outside.

The family began to clean the table in the main hall. When they were not eating, they would put some tea sets and snacks on it so that the children at home could have a snack.

After washing the pot clean, Yun Zhenzhen added some water to it, preparing to reheat the remaining pork head and braised meat.

The weather is cold now, and the braised meat is filled with condensed oil and soup, which makes it greasy and delicious. It will taste better if heated up.

By the time she finished, everyone was already seated and waiting for her at the table, and no one had picked up their chopsticks first.

Old man Qin looked at the well-behaved children sitting at the table and nodded with satisfaction. Facing such a large table full of delicious food, he could still sit still like a mountain. It seemed that the third son's wife had taught these children very well.

I believe that if my third son knew about this, he would rest in peace.

"Mom, do you still need my help over there? Come over and eat quickly, otherwise the food will get cold." Xiao Nan ran to the kitchen and stood by the pot, looking at her eagerly.

"Okay, we can start eating after I bring the braised meat to the table." Yun Zhenzhen took the braised meat out of the pot with a rag and followed Xiao Nan to the main room.

"Let's eat!"

Old man Qin was the first to pick up a piece of spicy crab and put it in his mouth. It was crispy and tasted spicy and fragrant. His eyes lit up.

There are a lot of these things in the river every summer, but they look like small insects. No one would eat them unless they are very hungry. He has also tasted this thing, and it tastes fishy and not delicious at all.

I didn’t expect that the third son’s wife could make this thing so delicious.

"Old lady, please try this river crab. It's delicious, without any strange smell." As he spoke, he picked up a crab with chopsticks and put it into Old Lady Qin's bowl. "If you think it's delicious, let's learn how to cook it from the third daughter-in-law. We can catch a lot every summer, and it can save us some food expenses."

Old Lady Qin nodded with a smile: "I see, I can get it myself, you can eat yours quickly."

As soon as she took the crab in her mouth, Old Man Qin looked at her expectantly: "How is it? It tastes pretty good, doesn't it?"

Old Lady Qin looked at him with a perverted look on her face and nodded unhappily: "It's indeed delicious. You should also try the transformed egg. It's a new creation made by the third daughter-in-law. I just took a bite. Although the color looks weird, it tastes pretty good."

When Old Man Qin came up, he saw the rotten egg. He thought it was a bad egg and was reluctant to throw it away, but thinking that it was someone else's house, he suppressed his curiosity and did not dare to pick up the dish.

"Try this quickly, it goes well with rice. I've already eaten half a bowl of rice." Old Mrs. Qin directly filled his bowl with a large chopstick.

The old man looked down at the strange color and didn't want to eat it. "Is this... is this thing really that delicious?"

Old Lady Qin blinked her eyes and said with certainty, "The new product made by the third daughter-in-law must be delicious. Don't be fooled by the fact that its color is different from ordinary eggs, but it tastes really good with rice."

Old man Qin took a bite with half belief and half doubt. Just this one bite made his eyes widen. He lowered his head to look at the unremarkable-looking egg in the bowl with a bit of disbelief in his eyes. How could such a strange color be so delicious?

He took another bite, and this time he picked up a large piece of rice and couldn't stop eating.

Old Lady Qin's eyes were filled with anxiety: "How is it? Is this delicious?"

Old Man Qin quickly swallowed the rice in his mouth and added another chopstick to himself: "Old woman, you really have to admit that you have a good taste. This thing really goes well with rice."

Old Man Qin was so busy eating that he didn't notice that Old Lady Qin beside him breathed a sigh of relief. When she heard him say it was delicious, she picked up a chopstick and tasted it.

Looking at the huge table full of dishes, only Yun Zhenzhen's family could have such a rich feast. Even during the Little New Year, other families didn't eat so well.

Even the village chief's family, whose conditions were slightly better, didn't eat pure rice. Instead, they cooked a mixed-grain meal made with rice and brown rice. On the table was a stir-fried vegetable dish, a cabbage and tofu soup, a bowl of pickled radish, and a steamed egg custard bowl for each person. The only meat dish was some dried wild boar meat that hadn't been eaten yet, so they made stir-fried wild boar slices today and let everyone enjoy a feast... Eating such food on the Little New Year was already a very rich meal. When it came to the real New Year's Eve dinner, each family would kill a chicken and stew the meat...

After the meal, everyone at the table had a full belly, especially Old Lady Qin and her husband. They hadn't eaten such delicious food for a long time, and their stomachs were full after just one meal.

"No, no, I have to go for a walk in the village tonight. I ate so much that I feel bloated even when sitting." Old Mrs. Qin stood up silently and walked around the house.

After everyone put down their chopsticks, the table was basically cleared. Seeing that it was almost dark, Old Man Qin and the other man stood up and prepared to say goodbye.

"You guys rest at home, we'll go back first. It's getting late, and we still have to go back and clean up the house."

"Wait a minute!" Yun Zhenzhen quickly stood up and walked into the kitchen: "This is the braised meat we brought back from the store. My family can't finish it all, so I packed some for you to take home for the children to try..."
