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

Lu Yunfeng, who was out looking, saw this scene and couldn't help but laugh: "You are so greedy, didn't the cook in the county government make sure you had enough to eat?"

The two guards scratched their heads in embarrassment. "Sir, you're right. After eating Madam Yun's cooking last time, I couldn't forget it. The food cooked by Old Wang was tasteless. I've been thinking about it these past few days."

"That's right. I always dream of having dinner at Madam Yun's house every night." Another guard also said with a smile.

The county magistrate is usually kind to others, let alone the old people who follow him, so they speak without restraint.

Lu Yunfeng subconsciously thought of the dishes he had eaten here last time. The taste was... indeed delicious. He thought about it when he returned home.

As I was thinking, I seemed to smell a fragrance again, which was even more fragrant than last time.

As soon as Qin Wen brought out the food made by Yun Zhenzhen, he attracted a lot of attention.

"It smells so good, what's that?"

"Wow, we are having a feast today! The elder brothers who are guarding the government office can't even envy us."

"That's right, Madam Yun's children are so lucky to be able to eat so many delicious foods every day."

"Oh, if only I were her son..."

"What are you talking about? The adults are still here."

Ah San poked him several times with his elbow, and Ah Si finally stopped his unrealistic fantasy.

"It's time to eat!" Yun Zhenzhen shouted outside.

Ah San and Ah Si, who had been waiting eagerly at the kitchen door, lined up to go in and serve the dishes.

The small kitchen suddenly became crowded.

Qin Li walked into the house and opened the lid of the pot with his big hands. The aroma of rice crust and rice wafted into his nose. Qin Wen brought all the dishes to the big stone table outside.

The stone table is big enough to accommodate a group of people.

If you find it too crowded, you can also stand under the tree with your bowl and eat, which makes it easier to pick up food.

After everyone is seated, the meal officially begins.

The first thing everyone did was to grab the fragrant stir-fried pork offal, which included pig intestines, pig kidneys, pig hearts, etc. There were so many varieties that you couldn’t stop eating once you had a bite.

When Lu Yunfeng first realized that it was pig offal, he only tasted it cautiously.

Hmm...it's quite delicious, without any weird smell.

And the boiled pork slices are so fragrant and tender that you can’t stop eating them.

There were two people in the yard who were getting more and more addicted to the spicy food. They would continue eating even when they were sweating profusely.

Sour, spicy, hot and crispy, all combined together, it tastes incredibly delicious.

When people get angry after eating spicy food, some of them will eat a lot of rice.

Mm...this rice is also crispy and delicious.

Just now they had deliberately taken less rice, only half a bowl each, thinking they could eat more meat. They didn't expect that Madam Yun even made the rice so crispy. Now they both looked regretful.

"Madam Yun, this is so delicious." Lu Yunfeng spoke only after he was half full.

"When I was a kid, I ate pig offal once. Even my family's chef had a hard time getting rid of the fishy smell, let alone making it this delicious."

Yun Zhenzhen received a positive answer and continued with a smile, "My eldest son cleaned this pig offal. He scrubbed it vigorously with wood ash several times. After removing most of the smell, he added some heavy ingredients to suppress the remaining smell."

Lu Yunfeng nodded.

Qin Nanxiang was so delicious that she wanted to swallow her tongue: "Mom, this is so delicious. I want to eat it again tomorrow."

Yun Zhenzhen was afraid that Xiaonan couldn't handle spicy food, so she put a bowl of water in front of her to wash away some of the spiciness before eating. Even so, the food was still so spicy that Qin Nan kept drinking water.

Qin Li took a gulp of water and said, "It's really delicious. This pig's offal tastes just as good as pork belly."

He cleaned all the pig offal bit by bit. Fortunately, he listened to his mother and used wood ash to clean it, which was much faster.

Yun Zhenzhen looked at everyone eating happily and couldn't stop smiling.

Suddenly, she saw that the young master brought by the county magistrate had not spoken a word, nor had his chopsticks touched the pork offal, but was just sitting alone eating quietly. She signaled Lu Yunfeng with her eyes.

He received the message and put a piece of food into his cousin's bowl with chopsticks.

"Ling'er, try it. Madam Yun's cooking is very good."

After hearing this, Lu Ling carefully picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

Just now he heard everyone discussing how delicious it was, and he was really curious. But when he heard that it was made from pig offal, he didn't dare to pick up his chopsticks. He had heard that in Kyoto, only people who couldn't afford to eat would buy it to satisfy their hunger.

As he walked along, he also saw that this village was really poor. Today's meal must have cost this woman most of her fortune to prepare.

But since his cousin put it in the bowl, he didn't want to offend him.

He could only open his mouth and take a tentative bite.

!!!

So... so delicious!

Fragrant and spicy.

I thought they were exaggerating, but I didn't expect that pig offal would be so delicious. What on earth have I missed in the past ten years?

He put the whole thing into his mouth and chewed it carefully. It had a different taste from pork, but it was harmonious. Instead, it tasted even better. The more he ate, the more he wanted to eat.

He was so spicy that he quickly drank a glass of water.

The next second, he stretched his chopsticks into the plate of braised meat.

Hmm...it has more of a salty and fragrant taste, not so spicy, and tastes very delicious.

They are all delicious.

After all, he was still a little reserved. After Lu Ling was full, he didn't pick up his chopsticks again. His family often said that you can stop eating when you are 80% full.

The two guards were not so particular. They ate their rice fiercely, adding a few chopsticks of pig offal from time to time. They ate so much that they could not sit down and had to stand up to continue eating.

After the group of people had eaten and drunk their fill, the sky darkened and the sun set. The pale yellow sunset glow painted the ground golden, and the yard looked peaceful and tranquil.

Yun Zhenzhen went to the kitchen and brought out a pot of sweet water, which she ate with the pine nuts she had picked up earlier.

"Madam Yun, I came to Qinjia Village this time because I have some news to tell you." Lu Yunfeng said comfortably while sitting in the yard.

"Oh?" Yun Zhenzhen looked at him curiously.

Seeing her curious expression, Lu Yunfeng then slowly began to explain, "The Yueming Academy in Kyoto is coming to Yuzhou to recruit students, but the number of places is limited. They will only accept ten students from the entire Yuzhou. On average, each county will only have two or three students."

Lu Ling, who was standing by, nodded when he heard this. He also knew about this.

"Do you want Jing'er to take the exam?" Yun Zhenzhen asked.

"That's right." Lu Yunfeng nodded. "This Yueming Academy is very famous in Kyoto. Any student who enters it will at least become a scholar within ten years. Therefore, many people want to pay money to get in."

"But the dean of Yueming Academy is a strange man. He doesn't care about fame or money. He only accepts students who can pass his exams. Therefore, entering Yueming Academy is the dream of many young people..."
