"Your mother is truly unfortunate; how could I have raised such an unfilial daughter!"
Chen Laosan was also furious with Chen Yunyun. "It's alright, Mother. If she won't help us, let her wait and see. When I become the factory director, I'll take good care of you."
Grandma Song was comforted by these words, "It's better to have a son. A son can take care of you in your old age. If you have a daughter, you'll just be raising her for someone else's family."
Old Mrs. Song carried a cloth bag and took quite a few of Chen Yunyun's belongings before leaving Xujia Village.
At Chen Yunyun's insistence, Chen Laosan also moved to the dormitory-style dormitory at the raw material factory.
The house now belongs entirely to Chen Yunyun's family once again!
After the Chen family left, Chen Yunyun gave the house a thorough cleaning, disinfecting all the places where the Chen family had been.
She also asked the village carpenter to make several small beds.
The carpenter is very skilled and chose high-quality wood, making the wooden bed solid and sturdy.
Vegetables were replanted in the fields that Old Mrs. Song had plucked so badly.
The last time Chen Yunyun bought a watermelon, she specially saved the seeds. She planted them in the ground and used her magic finger to accelerate their growth. Soon, small watermelon seedlings sprouted.
It just so happened that the weather was sunny in the afternoon, so Chen Yunyun went to Xia Lan's house to pick up the children.
"How about Mom makes you braised pork hock today?"
Upon hearing the name "braised pork knuckle," Xu Jingsheng's mouth watered involuntarily, dripping onto his chest. "Mom! I want some!"
After the system was restored, the online store service was also relaunched, and Chen Yunyun was finally able to buy lazy-person's braised food.
She used the purification bead given to her by Rong Yan again to prevent the aroma of meat in the room from escaping.
The fresh pork knuckle is simmered in an iron pot for more than three hours, allowing every inch of the knuckle to be fully soaked in the sauce.
She also used her points to redeem some sweet potato noodles, planning to make hot and sour noodles for the children.
First, soak the sweet potato starch until it is soft, then cook it until there is no hard core. Next, prepare the essential sauce.
Pour hot oil over chili peppers and minced garlic to bring out the original aroma of the ingredients. Add a little salt and sugar, and most importantly, chili oil and aged vinegar.
Add cooked glass noodles and blanched fresh pea shoots, then sprinkle with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, and peanuts.
The steam carrying the aroma of hot and sour noodles surged forth, making everyone who smelled it unable to resist salivating.
Xu Jingsheng couldn't eat strong-flavored food, so Chen Yunyun specially made him a clear soup.
Chen Yunyun put the cured meat and sausages that she had put in the system space back up.
She cut a piece of sausage, cooked it, and then sliced it thinly. The process for making cured meat was almost the same.
In addition to these, Chen Yunyun also stewed pork rib and lotus root soup.
The lotus root was cut into chunks and stewed together with the blanched pork ribs. Chen Yunyun also added some corn pieces.
When the lotus root and pork rib soup is ready, the braised pig's trotters are also ready to be served.
Chen Yunyun filled a ceramic bowl with the food and placed it on the table, saying, "Come and eat!"
The younger children were all quick and nimble, helping to pull out chopsticks and get bowls.
"Mom, your cooking smells so good!"
"Yes, Ah Sheng likes it very much!"
Xu Jingsheng used the word "good" several times, which shows how much he loves Chen Yunyun's cooking.
"Alright, stop praising me. The food will get cold, so hurry up and eat!"
The first thing Chen Yunyun tried was braised pig's trotters. Simmered over low heat for three hours, the pork knuckles became tender and flavorful, melting in her mouth, rich but not greasy.
The braising spices she chose were very fragrant, and the broth was rich and flavorful. If you scooped a small spoonful onto white rice, the taste would be absolutely amazing!
But Chen Yunyun didn't cook rice; her main dish was hot and sour noodles.
Pick up the chewy rice noodles with wooden chopsticks; the chili oil on top releases a strong aroma.
After slurping up a mouthful of noodles, the sour, spicy, and numbing flavors burst in my mouth. The pea shoots and peanuts in the hot and sour noodles are the soul of the dish.
The peanuts are crisp and refreshing, and the pea shoots are sweet and tender—it's simply heaven for your taste buds!
The children were too busy eating to talk.
Only the noodles in Xu Jingsheng's bowl were the color of clear broth; Chen Yunyun had only added a little salt to them.
"Waaah, Mommy, I want to eat spicy food too~" Xu Jingsheng pouted. The chili peppers in his older brother and sister's bowls smelled so good and tempting, and he, the little kid, really wanted to eat some too...
Chen Yunyun picked up a piece of pork rib and put it in his bowl. "Sweetie, eat this."
The lotus root and pork rib soup she made is a simple dish with a low failure rate.
The lotus root is starchy and stretchy, but its soft texture is quite unique.
The ribs were selected for their thick meat and cartilage. Chen Yunyun used cooking wine and ginger slices to remove the fishy smell, so when eating them, you can only feel the freshness of the meat.
They thoroughly enjoyed the meal.
The three children, imitating Chen Yunyun, lay flat on their stomachs and looked up at the sky.
A family of four, looking especially warm and loving.
A month later, the children will be going back to school.
And the person responsible for transporting the first batch of Ziyun raw materials should be back by now.
Originally, Chen Yunyun was in charge of this matter, but she happened to be "sick at home" at the time, so Xu Zhitie took over the task.
As soon as he returned, seeing the arrogant expression on his face, Chen Yunyun knew that Charles must be very satisfied with this shipment.
Charles was indeed very satisfied and immediately settled the remaining balance for this portion.
Xu Zhitie tossed the ledger and money to Chen Yunyun, saying, "Director Chen, take a look."
Chen Yunyun flipped through the pages a couple of times, pausing at one or two places. After a long while, she said, "You did a great job this time. You definitely have the potential to be a factory manager."
“You must be very tired after this long journey. I’ll give you five days off and you can come back when you’ve rested.”
