Chapter 50 The Li family shows off its power
After seeing the new house, Yang Datou reluctantly left the house again.
There was nothing major going on in the village. The sudden arrival of four laborers in Jiang Ning's family was big news. In addition, Qian's family deliberately spread false news. Many people thought that Yang Datou was following Yang Hu's old path and couldn't help but run to follow Li Mr. Shi chewed his tongue and asked Mr. Li to take charge of Jiangning.
Only then did Ms. Li know the rumors in the village. She knew who did it without even thinking about it. She immediately took the stick and went to the field to beat Qian who was lazy.
Mr. Qian howled in pain and jumped on the ground.
People working nearby stopped to watch the excitement.
Yang Laoer was so tired that he was sweating profusely and had to run over to protect Qian, "Aniang! What's going on? What did she do again?"
"Ask her!" Ms. Li's eyes were splitting, she spat on the ground and cursed in a loud voice: "I don't have the ability to see others well? Who spread the rumors about Datou? Don't think I don't know!
Qian! I have warned you before not to have any ideas about my grandson, but it seems that you have not taken my words to heart at all! "
Yang Laoer was preparing to defend Qian.
Mr. Qian then shouted, "That's right! What kind of serious work can the employer send four laborers to help at once? It's obvious that he has done something shameful!"
Ms. Li was furious, "You have all heard it! This stinky **** used her mouth to smear the boss of my family without any evidence. You also listen to what she said, which is worse than a pig or a dog. Are you just pretending to be stupid?"
The villagers who were watching were lying down inexplicably and shook their heads, "Auntie, we are not talking nonsense, we just asked a few questions out of curiosity. Since we didn't really say it, it's fine, but Yang Dou, you are too shameless! What the hell! It’s okay to be lazy, how can you still slander your eldest brother’s son? Really!”
One by one, they vented all their grievances about being scolded by Li on Yang Laoer.
Yang Laoer couldn't lose his face and yelled at Mr. Qian for the first time: "Just do the work! Why are you so talkative?"
Ms. Qian was startled by the yelling, and she reacted and started to act rudely, "Okay, Yang Laoer! I gave you the care of food, clothing, and children, and this is how you treat me? I can't live anymore!"
Li was so angry that she went up and hit Qian with a few sticks, "Then go and die! Let me see where you can die?"
Qian was in pain, screamed and got up from the ground and ran away.
Li walked around the fields again, clearly scolding Qian for not being a thing, and at the same time trying to clear Yang Datou's name.
Even Jiang Ning received the news about her commotion.
Old man Yang laughed and said: "The old woman will not allow her grandson to suffer. Why doesn't the second child always have a good memory?"
Jiang Ning thought of Qian's mischievous side, and felt a lump in his heart. He shook his head and said, "Dad, Qian will stop talking. I'll make some food later, and you can bring it to grandma when you get back."
“Sure!” Old Man Yang agreed readily.
This time she was sincerely grateful to Mr. Li, so she also worked **** making food.
Because Ms. Li is old and her teeth are not that good, Jiang Ning plans to make Thousand Layers of Salted Cake. The main step is to grind the rice into paste and pour one layer into it and steam it one layer at a time. Repeat this several times, and then add various ingredients on top of the last layer. Plant the ingredients and the Thousand Layer Cake is ready.
Pulling rice pulp requires a stone mill. It coincides with the autumn harvest, and no one in the village uses the stone mill. Jiang Ning and Liu Ye went to grind it early in the morning and could finish it in about half an hour.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law carried two wooden buckets home. On the way, they met Zhang who was delivering food. Jiang Ning smiled and said, "I'm going to make some food for my mother-in-law. I'll give you some to taste later."
Ms. Zhang waved her hand, "No! You go back and do your work quickly."
When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law returned home, Jiang Ning took some sesame seeds and peanuts directly from the system. After frying the peanuts, they pounded them into chopped peanuts, then fried them in scallion oil, layered the cake with a layer of scallion oil and added slightly salty chopped peanuts, and steamed it for eight times. Layers, Thousand Layers of Salted Cake would be good.
The fragrance filled the yard, and Old Man Yang and Yang Erdan who were working were a little absent-minded.
Jiang Ning quickly cut two pieces for them to taste first. Old Yang and Yang Erdan unanimously praised it. She cut another piece and wrapped it in banana leaves and asked Liu Ye to deliver it to Zhang's house.
Having noodles at home in the evening, Jiang Ning packed a large piece of Thousand Layer Cake and a large bowl of noodles and asked Old Man Yang to take them back.
Mrs. Li had a lot of trouble with her battle with Mrs. Qian yesterday. She has been feeling weak all day today and has no appetite. Seeing Old Man Yang come back with noodles and Thousand Layer Cake, she asked curiously and learned that it was The eldest daughter-in-law made it specially for her.
Li's expression was stunned for a moment, and then she turned away sternly, "I'm not standing up for her!"
Having said that, Mrs. Li was not slow in her movements. She took a bite of noodles first and said, "My master's craftsmanship is getting better and better. How many good things are added to this noodles?"
Old man Yang shook his head, "I didn't look at what the old man was doing to buy meat, so I just laid on an egg and had plain noodles!"
"How come it smells so good?" Li couldn't figure it out. Her cooking skills weren't bad, but compared with Jiang Ning's... forget it, there's no comparison!
Li, who had not eaten much all day, ate up a large bowl of vegetarian noodles in a daze. When she saw the Thousand Layer Cake, she couldn't eat anymore.
Old man Yang asked her to take a few bites.
Ms. Li had no choice but to take two more bites. This time she realized that the Thousand Layer Cake was tailor-made for her. She ate one bite after another, and finally she ate half a piece. She stopped when she couldn't eat any more.
It takes more than half a month from the beginning to the end of the autumn harvest. The four men who came to work thought that they would lose a lot of weight this time. Who knew that not only did they not lose weight, but they were also fed a lot of fat. When they returned, they all lost weight. I'm sorry to ask the flower shopkeeper for wages.
When several villagers working nearby saw that the four of them were leaving, they couldn't help but go over and ask, "Who hired you to work?"
One of the men replied honestly: "It's the flower shopkeeper of Linjiang Inn."
The person who asked the question was stunned for a moment. I have never heard of Linjiang Inn!
Seeing that the other party was confused, the man explained in more detail, "He's the shopkeeper of Linjiang Inn in Songxi Town, our time-honored brand there! Shopkeeper Hua said that his chef would take leave to come back to do farm work, but the inn couldn't live without the chef. Just let a few of us come over to help.”
The villagers were shocked and looked at each other, "I never heard that Datou can cook! When did it happen?"
The man shook his head, "We don't know about this, but Linjiang Inn's business has indeed improved a lot because of this master chef, which has squeezed out the business of Mingjiang Inn."
The villagers learned about Yang Datou's situation from the four people, and they were amazed and scolded Qian. They were almost fooled by Qian into using him as a gun.
The men had nothing to say, but the women were unwilling to tolerate it. They gathered together and went to the old house to settle the score with Qian. A group of women yelled and spat at each other in the yard of the old house, and even the village chief was summoned.
