After Chen Xiaoying ate it, she felt much more at ease.
No wonder so many people like her buns, they are really delicious.
This is all thanks to the secret seasoning that granddaughter Li Yutong developed after years of hard work in her previous life.
"Mom, do you love eating buns so much?" The eldest daughter Li Hongyan didn't understand what her mother Chen Xiaoying was doing. She thought her mother liked eating buns, so she opened a bun shop and went out to find buns to eat.
Chen Xiaoying gave her a displeased look and said, "I just wanted to try and see if the buns from other places taste better."
Li Hongyan said directly: "Of course it's not as delicious as ours."
She was not siding with her own mother. She was telling the truth. Some of the buns in these shops were too salty, some were too greasy, some had too hard dough, some had too soft fillings, and there were all kinds of problems.
The buns from her mother's Chen Li Restaurant have a white, tender and soft dough. When you break them open, the fillings inside are visible to the naked eye, including diced mushrooms, diced cabbage, shredded gourds, minced meat, etc. The seasoning is also very palatable, with the right balance of sweet and salty.
It looks delicious, but the buns sold outside are usually filled with fillings that have changed color and become soft and muddy.
"Let's go. It's important to get down to business." Chen Xiaoying thought that the time was up, so she headed towards the lumber mill that she had inquired about a long time ago.
At this time, the third brother Li Hongqiang got off work and made an appointment with a group of men to go to Hei Laosan's house to play cards.
The fight is in full swing.
Hei Laosan's wife, together with the wives of the other two families, prepared snacks, melon seeds and tea for them.
Being served and playing cards, he felt like the center of attention.
When Chen Xiaoying arrived, she saw her third son Li Hongqiang, looking elated, blowing smoke rings from a cigarette and skillfully throwing playing cards in his hand.
Seeing the third brother like this, Chen Xiaoying felt very disappointed.
She had heard from people that once people get addicted to gambling, they can never quit. Wouldn’t the third child’s life be ruined?
"Mom, mom?" Li Hongyan's eyes were on the woman sitting next to Li Hongqiang.
Her short hair was curled into big curls, as if her head was full of steel wool. Her eyebrows and eyes were drawn in, her lips were painted red, and her breasts were bulging. The clothes she wore did not reveal her breasts, but they were held tightly around her. She hugged the third brother's arm and held him tightly.
This is more popular with men than exposing yourself.
Li Hongyan was so angry that her face changed. She knew exactly how much the third brother was worth, both in appearance and in character.
"Hey, who are you? What are you doing in my house?" Hei Laosan's wife was boiling water in the yard. When she saw them standing next to the crowd, she asked hurriedly.
The woman, who had heard the news, ran here like a mad woman looking for someone.
Chen Xiaoying came back to her senses and said, "I'm Li Hongqiang's mother, I'm here to take him home."
Hei Lao San's wife immediately smiled, but her smile was fake: "Oh, it's you, Auntie, then she's one of us, come and sit down, Lao San will come down to talk to you after he has finished his round."
Playing cards, talking as if Li Hongqiang was doing something serious, Chen Xiaoying couldn't hold back her expression.
The eldest daughter, Li Hongyan, was even more furious. She rushed in, grabbed Li Hongqiang's cards, and threw them on the table. She shouted angrily: "Third brother, you are crazy, what on earth are you doing?"
Li Hongqiang was about to lose his temper when he turned around and saw his elder sister Li Hongyan. He was shocked and said, "Sister, why are you here?"
"Not only am I here, but our mother is here too. The two of us are here to take you home." Li Hongyan said angrily.
She never dreamed that the Third Brother would fall into such a state while being here.
If she had known earlier, she would have found a way to get him back.
Li Hongqiang looked again and found that his biological mother Chen Xiaoying was staring at him coldly.
Li Hongqiang stood up awkwardly: "Mom, why are you here too?"
The third brother, Li Hongqiang, felt uncomfortable.
But Hei Laosan is the leader of this group of workers. He is a distant relative of the factory director and has long regarded himself as a local emperor among this group of workers. Others have the subconscious of respecting the elderly and loving the young, and give a good face to older elders when they see them, but he does not.
He was a big, strong man with a bald head, and he looked very fierce: "Li Hongqiang, are you going to play this card or not? I was about to win just now, but your elder sister threw your cards away. Who will win or lose?"
The way he acted, it was obvious that he was trying to blackmail someone.
The third child, Li Hongqiang, was stared at by his mother and eldest sister, but he said timidly: "Brother, my eldest sister didn't do it on purpose, let it go."
"She caused trouble in my place, so that's fine, but I can't tolerate the fact that you lost money." Hei Lao San already knew Li Hongqiang's background. He was just a villager with no background. His mother and elder sister looked honest people, and they must be as easy to bully as Li Hongqiang.
Li Hongqiang had no choice but to pay: "Then tell me how much you lost and I'll give you the money."
Hei Lao San then smiled triumphantly and was about to say a number when he saw Li Hongqiang's mother snatching Li Hongqiang's money.
"My son's money is used to support his parents and his wife and children. Who are you?" Chen Xiaoying stared at Hei Lao San: "His money cannot be swindled away by others for nothing."
It’s obvious from Chen Xiaoying’s posture that she’s not afraid of him.
Hei Laosan was surprised and stood up angrily. The workers who were playing cards nearby all backed away, not wanting to get involved with him.
You can tell at first glance that this gangster leader is not easy to mess with.
Li Hongyan was also scared and pulled Chen Xiaoying's arm: "Mom, mom, forget it, just spend the money to avoid disaster."
Chen Xiaoying was not afraid, staring at Hei Lao San: "I've been through a lot of things. Even if the loan sharks from our area knocked on my door, I was not afraid. If you have the guts, stab me to death with a knife. Otherwise, don't even think about taking a dime from me today."
"What did you say? Do you want to die?" Hei Laosan used to work in this line of business and knew how powerful these people were. He didn't expect that Li Hongqiang's mother had such courage.
"Then come on!" Chen Xiaoying was not afraid at all. Instead, she took a step forward and said, "I am a sixty-year-old woman. In exchange for your young life, it is worth it."
Hei Lao San subconsciously took a step back. If she was worth it, then he would have lost.
He is so young, only in his thirties, and he killed an old woman to pay for her life?
"Laosan, what are you doing? The old lady is so old, don't make her angry." Hei Laosan's wife was very tactful. Seeing that her husband was embarrassed, she immediately squeezed over and said with a smile.
Chen Xiaoying gave Hei Lao San a cold look before glaring at Li Hongqiang.
Li Hongqiang avoided the gaze and bent his waist subconsciously. As a result, he suddenly felt a sharp pain on his face and a slap was slapped hard on his face.
Chen Xiaoying's palms were numb from beating, and she stared at Li Hongqiang fiercely: "I bought you a house, and raised a wife and children for you, but in the end, you were fooling around with some shady women and throwing all your money on the gambling table. Li Hongqiang, do you want to die?"
She was extremely disappointed.
