Chapter 51 The Village Beauty's Goddess of Cooking Mother in the 7s 8
Si Yan was driven to the home of a leader by the principal of No. 1 Middle School. The leader's home was in Qu City, only a few dozen kilometers away from Lin County.
Upon arriving at the government compound, there were soldiers conducting routine checks at the entrance.
After the inspection was completed, Si Yan and her group were allowed to pass.
Upon getting off the bus, a simple yet grand single-story house came into view.
There are three steps in front of the door, and after going up the steps, there are rows of green plants on the left and right sides.
The principal went up and rang the doorbell, and the door opened in less than a minute.
"Old Lin, you're here so early. Thank you for your help."
"Oh, this must be Comrade Si. Just as my husband said, he has an outstanding presence."
"Come, come, please come in. Today, we'll have to trouble Comrade Si to help us out."
The speaker was a very refined-looking auntie with a few strands of white hair on her head, all neatly tied up.
She speaks very gently to people; it must be quite remarkable for her to be the wife of such a high-ranking leader.
Upon entering, you are greeted by a huge living room. Because the dining room and living room are open-plan, the space appears very large.
The kitchen was separated on the right. When Si Yan went in, she saw that many of the side dishes had already been prepared, and the meat and vegetables were neatly arranged.
It seems the lady of the house has a bit of OCD, but Si Yan likes OCD because she has that trait herself.
Whether it's cooking or doing other things, she hopes to achieve the results she envisions.
After putting on the apron she had brought, Si Yan got to work.
Seeing the fresh beef brisket and tomatoes on the table, Si Yan decided to make a tomato stewed beef brisket first.
First, cut the beef brisket into strips vertically, and then cut it into chunks horizontally, each chunk about three to four centimeters in size. Set the chunks aside.
Take the tomato, cut a cross on the top with a knife, then soak it in boiling water. Soon, a whole peeled tomato will be ready.
Cut the tomatoes into chunks, slice the onions, and then heat the oil in a pan.
Next, add scallions, chopped onions, and beef to the pot and stir-fry to remove any gamey smell.
Finally, add water and simmer over low heat for two hours. Then, take the beef out and put it into the stir-fried tomatoes, simmer for another ten minutes, and it's ready to serve.
While the beef brisket was stewing, Si Yan also made a cold salad of half a chicken leg and stewed a pot of pickled cabbage and old duck soup.
This pickled cabbage and old duck soup was the dish that our former boss praised the most last time, so Si Yan added it this time as well.
This time, Si Yan didn't carve anything further; she simply arranged the cucumber slices into small flowers, understated yet stylish.
The most common condiment in the kitchen was chili sauce; there were several bottles on display, which shows that the boss's family really loves spicy food.
Immediately afterwards, Si Yan made a spicy rabbit dish, and the aroma of this dish wafted directly into the house.
The leaders who were still talking also swallowed nervously.
After all, they are friends with a good relationship with the big boss, and they are all people who can't live without spicy food.
I was just here for a normal chat, but I didn't expect there might be a surprise today. Where did Old Fang find another culinary expert?
When lunchtime arrived, the group, who usually got so engrossed in their conversation that they forgot to eat, were surprisingly eager to eat this time.
After everyone was seated, one delicious dish after another was served.
Not only is the aroma enticing, but the presentation is also exquisite, with even the fruit cut into pieces and arranged in a decorative way.
The leader's wife also tried her best to invite Si Yan to join them for dinner, but Si Yan politely declined.
They genuinely invited you, but it would be impolite to accept. Si Yan is well aware of this basic social etiquette.
Fortunately, all she had to do was cook. After the leaders finished eating, Si Yan rode in the principal's car back to Lin County.
When they left, the big boss not only gave Si Yan a large red envelope, but his wife also gave Si Yan many gifts.
They said they were very happy to eat the dishes Si Yan cooked today.
Not only does it taste good, but the presentation also suits my taste perfectly; she's a very thoughtful person.
Si Yan returned at four o'clock in the afternoon. After resting for a while, she started preparing lunch.
Tonight's meal was especially plentiful because the leader's wife brought Si Yan a lot of meat and vegetables, all of a quality she doesn't usually get to eat.
Yan Xia enjoyed the food immensely, but as she ate, something came to mind.
"By the way, Mom, my classmate said that when she wanted to buy our steamed buns this morning, she saw several people in front of our shop, but they all looked unfriendly. They didn't seem like customers, but rather like they were there to cause trouble."
"Really? Is that so?"
Si Yan asked casually, not taking it to heart at all.
there is always a solution to a problem.
……
Yan Xue's side, since it was a small two-bedroom apartment in a tenement building, the entire Yan family moved in, and even sleeping on the floor, it was still cramped.
“Xingguo, I always feel that Mom is lying to us, just because she doesn’t want us to pursue the money she paid for your sister.”
"Hey, if business were really that good, would Si Yan close down just because something came up? I just can't believe it. If it were me, I would never leave money to do something else."
Yan Xingguo nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, clearly indicating that both of them believed Yan Xue was lying to deceive them.
No, let's put aside what happened with my sister-in-law for now; we need to get back the money I lent to my younger sister first.
It doesn't make sense that Yan Xue got all the advantages while suffering a huge loss herself.
Thinking of this, Yan Xingguo quickly found his mother and whispered a few questions in her ear.
"Mom, what exactly did my sister say to you? The five hundred yuan she gave us today is all the money our family has. We can't just let this go like this."
"How could that be, Xingguo? Your sister said she'll give me half the money tomorrow, and she'll also take the lead in finding Song Ge'er a good job."
As she spoke, Mother Yan lowered her voice even further.
“Xingguo, your sister has the ability to send Tiantian to university. For the sake of Songge’er’s future, you don’t need to offend her, understand?”
Upon hearing this good news, Yan Xingguo immediately said that he had no objections and would cooperate with whatever his mother arranged.
Yan Xingguo then went back to his wife's place.
Yan Xingguo also consciously told his wife about the conversation they had just had, and the two of them, finally relieved, quickly fell asleep.
That night, the Yan family all dreamed of getting rich and reaching the pinnacle of life.
Little did they know, the current Si Yan was not the blindly filial person she was before.
Perhaps during the time Si Yan was here, they noticed that she had changed a bit.
However, once one person's impression of another person is formed, it is very difficult to change it subconsciously.
Moreover, the Yan family simply did not believe that Si Yan would refuse her mother's request. After all, she was an orphan and had no family to support her, so where would she get the confidence?
But what they don't realize is that once a person stands on their own two feet, they don't need to rely on others; they have their own strength.
Recalling her memories, the female lead, Wang Tiantian, was about to go to university. That evening, Si Yan made an excuse to go out for a walk.
After disguising himself, he had the system teleport him to the vicinity of the student whose identity Wang Tiantian had stolen.
Seeing that the other woman's mother was sitting at the door chatting with someone, Si Yan told a piece of gossip and successfully joined them.
In the midst of the conversation, Si Yan casually mentioned something.
“Sister, my daughter is in the same situation as your child, but I firmly believe that my daughter passed the exam because all her classmates who had much worse grades than her passed. How could she not have passed?”
"To put my mind at ease, I went to the Education Bureau to check, and guess what? It turned out that someone had taken my daughter's college entrance exam score and stolen her university admission notice. Luckily, I checked, otherwise my daughter's life would have been ruined."
"What? Such a thing can happen? How could these people be so despicable?"
Seeing the student's mother deep in thought, Si Yan knew that things were going well.
Yan Xue and Wang Tiantian, still lost in their sweet dreams, were unaware that their dreams were about to shatter.
After all, how can something stolen become your own?
