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

When Aunt Fugui was "invited" over by a few people, she was slacking off in the fields. She was originally shouting to call the police, but was beaten by two burly men and collapsed to the ground in an instant.

When Aunt Fugui saw the direction she was going, she didn't dare to say a word along the way. When Aunt Zhao saw her, she was even more certain that she was the one who leaked the secret, and dragged her into the yard.

After coming in and seeing Yun Zhenzhen, he stood up instantly.

"What do you want to do? Bringing me to your house for no reason? Be careful or my wife will beat you up."

Ah--

Yun Zhenzhen sneered.

"Don't you know what you did?" Yun Zhenzhen approached her step by step: "What were you doing at my doorstep that night?"

Aunt Fugui swallowed hard and said with her neck stiff.

"I'm just passing by. The village is so big, why can't people walk through it?"

"Let me go quickly, or I'll report you to the police." Aunt Fugui yelled at the top of her lungs, "Help! I'm being kidnapped..."

Seeing that she was about to call the villagers, the two strong men stood in front of her. They looked so fierce that she was scared and speechless.

"Why don't you tell the truth?" Yun Zhenzhen stood in front of her and said calmly, "Someone has already told me. Now I'm giving you a chance to speak. If you still don't, we'll meet at the government office and ask the county magistrate to make the decision."

When Aunt Fugui heard the name of the county magistrate, she shuddered and stammered.

"I...I said, don't report it to the police."

"I didn't steal your recipe. Someone just gave me a few copper coins and asked me to tell her everything about your family. That's why I secretly came to see it that day."

"I just told him that your family was buying vegetables. I don't know anything else and didn't say anything."

As Aunt Fugui spoke, she felt aggrieved. She hadn't done anything bad, neither stolen nor robbed, yet they wanted to report her to the police.

But she was really afraid of the two strong men in front of her, especially the one sitting at the table. He was wearing a long robe and looked very imposing. He must be a rich man and she couldn't afford to offend him.

Yun Zhenzhen slowly walked forward and patted her shoulder.

"Who is that person?"

"I don't know." Aunt Fugui said with a sad face, chattering: "I said it was easy to make money, how did you find out?"

Yun Zhenzhen felt her crying was just too noisy.

"Then how did you meet?"

"He's at the entrance of the village. He claims to be my nephew from my mother's family. The patrol will come looking for me. If I want to find him, I will go to the Haoke Building in town to look for him."

"That's it." Yun Zhenzhen continued to ask, "What are the characteristics of that person?"

"Just... a normal person, with a mole on his face, very short, not even as tall as me." Aunt Fugui said while showing off her short stature.

"That's right." Zhang Hong nodded repeatedly. "There's a waiter at the Haokelou who looks like this. There's no doubt about it."

"I guess he was followed when he came to pick up the goods." Xu Xing sighed.

Yun Zhenzhen walked around the yard twice. The process of making shaved candy was not difficult. Once you knew the raw materials, it would be easy to replicate.

The whole village knew that she was buying inferior vegetables, so it was normal for it to be leaked.

I just didn't expect that the research would be developed so quickly.

"Forget it, go away." Yun Zhenzhen waved at her.

Aunt Fugui stood up tremblingly from the ground, ran out in a hurry, and never came to this damn place again.

After the matter was clarified, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, especially Aunt Zhao.

"Auntie, come back in a few days when we're making candy, and we'll make one last batch."

"Okay." Aunt Zhao's tense expression finally relaxed and she nodded vigorously.

"Then I'll go back and cook. The old man will be waiting to eat when he comes back later."

"Okay, take care." Yun Zhenzhen sent her home and said a few personal words to her. If there was anything, they had to talk it out, otherwise it would be a waste of time.

Aunt Zhao is a good person, and Yun Zhenzhen doesn't want to distance herself from her.

When I returned to the yard, I saw Manager Xu winking at me.

Yun Zhenzhen had no choice but to smile and say, "It's getting late. Why don't you stay for lunch? I'll just show you my new dishes."

"Okay." The few of them sat down with good reason, feeling the cool breeze and drinking sugar water, feeling so comfortable.

Yun Zhenzhen took the two brothers into the kitchen to get busy.

"Awen, go get the piece of pork belly that the Song family sent." Yun Zhenzhen boiled water in a pot, preparing to blanch the pork belly first.

"Okay." Qin Wen ran out quickly.

The weather is still a bit hot recently, so meat should be stored in the cellar, otherwise it will go bad within two days.

"Mom, what should I do?" Qin Li rolled up his sleeves.

"Please light the fire. I plan to make a few dishes today using the newly discovered peppers." Yun Zhenzhen said this but did not stop the work in her hands.

"Okay." Qin Li sat on the stool and prepared to make a fire.

Yun Zhenzhen put a lot of care into preparing today's meal. Qin Li controlled the heat, and Qin Wen assisted her. Soon, a fragrant aroma wafted from the kitchen.

Spicy, pungent, yet appetizing.

Shopkeeper Xu could still hold back and drank cup after cup of sugar water, but the people he brought with him couldn't stop swallowing their saliva and looked outside the door from time to time.

He didn't expect that Miss Yun, at such a young age, not only knew how to make sugar, but also cooked such delicious food, which was even better than the chef in his own restaurant.

The aroma whetted their appetite, and even the wait seemed very long.

In addition to stewing meat with chili peppers today, Yun Zhenzhen also wanted to make a sweet and sour dish, as there was still a lot of shaved candy left at home.

Heat a wok over high heat, fry the sugar until it turns caramel color, pour in the fried pork tenderloin, stir-fry quickly to prevent it from sticking to the pan, and remove from the pan after the pork tenderloin is evenly coated with syrup.

The pork belly next to it was also stewed until it was soft and tasty, and it had a spicy aroma.

Qin Li lit the fire and licked his dry lips unconsciously. It smelled so good, more intense than anything he had tasted before. He didn't believe his mother's words that the hot pepper was delicious before, but now he was so greedy that he was swallowing his saliva like crazy.

Qin Nan was not idle either. He went to Aunt Zhao's house to borrow a bunch of green onions, cut them into thin pieces, and sprinkled them on the food. The aroma filled the air.

The people in the main room stopped drinking water and stared at the kitchen.

The fragrant and pungent aroma of meat, the sweet and tempting aroma of sugar, the delicious and appetizing aroma of vegetables, mixed with the smell of fireworks, float in the yard. Just one sniff is a feast for the sense of smell.

Dishes were served on the table one by one.

In addition to sweet and sour pork tenderloin and spicy stewed pork belly, Yun Zhenzhen also made spicy shredded potatoes, spicy and sour konjac duck, spicy stir-fried cabbage, and egg drop soup.

The duck was a ready-made duck bought in the village. Yun Zhenzhen filled a big bowl of potato rice for everyone and placed it in front of everyone.

"Manager Xu, please try some. Everyone, please don't be shy and enjoy your meal." Yun Zhenzhen invited everyone to sit down. "I've been busy making candy lately and haven't had time to go to town to buy some food. I'm sorry for the poor hospitality."
