Chapter 49 The Village Beauty's Goddess of Cooking Mother in the 7s 6
As soon as everyone entered, they saw a lifelike little green dragon placed in the center of the round table. Upon closer inspection, they realized that the dragon was carved from a radish, demonstrating exceptional knife skills.
Looking around, the table was filled with all sorts of dishes, a feast comparable to the Chinese New Year.
Even the braised pork is beautifully presented, making it not only appetizing but also pleasing to the eye.
Yes, in this day and age, it's good enough to have enough to eat, yet this small county of Linxian has such demanding chefs.
I just don't know how it tastes.
Everyone smiled and took their seats one by one.
At the leader's invitation, everyone started eating.
Seeing that the senior leader had taken the first bite but hadn't expressed any opinion, the principal's heart began to race again.
These dishes look great, but the taste can't be disappointing.
"Yes, Not Bad."
The principal only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the leader nod.
The group ate their meal in a much quieter atmosphere than usual, all focusing on eating.
After all, you can always reschedule a meal, but you might not have the chance to eat such delicious food again.
After the meal, the senior leader expressed his desire to meet the head chef.
The principal smiled and agreed, then turned and gave Secretary Wang a few instructions.
Secretary Wang got up and walked towards the kitchen. A moment later, Si Yan followed Secretary Wang in.
When the head chef turned out to be a woman, the senior leader and everyone else were momentarily surprised.
"I originally thought it must be a very experienced chef, but I never expected it to be such a young woman. Yes, this woman is a very good cook."
"May I ask how this lady is addressed?"
The senior leader looked at Principal Lin and asked gently.
"This lady is named Si Yan. She is an excellent cook and is a chef I specially invited."
The principal looked at Si Yan and smiled as if he had found a treasure.
"Indeed, women are just as capable as men. They must have put in a lot of effort to acquire such culinary skills."
"No, you flatter me, leader. I'm satisfied as long as everyone enjoys the meal."
Si Yan appeared humble.
However, the system that was secretly observing made a few sarcastic remarks.
Yes, yes, yes, working hard to buy the Chef skill is still hard work, right?
Si Yan ignored the grumbling of System Xiao Qi.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with the leader and making a good impression, I returned to the kitchen.
All the leaders enjoyed the meal very much.
After the senior leader left, the principal thanked Si Yan in person again, and after learning that she had cooked extra dishes for the students that day, he gave her a separate red envelope.
When Si Yan got home, she opened the box and found two ten-yuan bills inside. The principal of No. 1 Middle School was really generous.
Today's dishes were a complete surprise for the students of Linxian No. 1 Middle School; they even finished the soup.
They even fantasized that if leaders came every day, they could eat delicious food every day.
Si Yan's steamed bun shop is doing better and better.
Because she was so busy, Si Yan hired someone to help her.
This person was introduced by Sister Bai; he was also one of her tenants.
The family is struggling financially, with elderly parents who are ill and children who are still in school.
After Aunt Zhao arrived, she became more diligent and attentive, which made Si Yan's life much easier.
The Yan family originally wanted to cause trouble for Si Yan, but they were held back by a thorny matter.
It was all caused by Yan Xue's greed.
Zhao Xi, Yan's mother's niece, married smoothly into the family that Yan Xue had introduced, as arranged by her family.
At first, she acted very gently and attentively towards her mentally challenged husband, and his parents were quite satisfied with her.
But later, Zhao Xi felt that once people got to know him well, their true nature was revealed.
Not only is he sarcastic and mean, but he also has a bad temper and is quick to hit people.
This only caused immense suffering to the man's family.
If Si Yan were there, she would say, in a huff, "Evil people will always have their own evil people to deal with them."
If it were just this situation, it wouldn't concern the Yan family.
The problem was that the groom's mother couldn't stand it anymore.
"Zhao Xi, you can't be so heartless. My family spent so much money to marry you, how can you treat us like this?"
"Ha, that much money? Looking at your house, it wouldn't be that much even if it cost a hundred dollars. Don't make people laugh their heads off."
"What do you mean one hundred yuan? We gave the introducer six hundred yuan back then."
The groom's mother was very emotional and almost shouted what she said.
Well, this time we've stirred up a hornet's nest.
When Zhao Xi returned home and told everyone, the entire Zhao family was in an uproar.
The whole family grabbed their weapons and rushed to the Yan family's house. At that moment, money was more important than relatives.
Besides, what kind of relatives are those who even want to eat their niece's dowry?
The Yan family was still indulging in the beautiful fantasy of going to the county town so that Si Yan could teach them a money-making skill, and then the whole family could become city dwellers.
But before I even stepped outside, I was surrounded by people.
"Everyone come and see! The Yan family is shameless! They even tried to steal the bride price when introducing their niece to a potential partner."
Granny Zhao started yelling even before she reached the Yan family's gate.
"What's going on? Isn't this Granny Zhao a relative of the Yan family? They were getting along really well not long ago, what's with this today?"
Unaware of the situation, onlookers came out of their homes and gathered in circles at the Yan family's door to watch the spectacle.
"What's the fuss about?"
Mother Yan came out looking annoyed. Who was making such a fuss so early in the morning?
She was startled when she opened the door and saw so many people. What was going on?
Upon seeing Granny Zhao, who was leading the group, Mother Yan greeted her with a smile.
"Sis, what brings you here, and with so many people?"
"No way, I'm not worthy to be your sister. You've been so ruthless. What kind of sister am I to you?"
Granny Zhao was so angry that her face turned red, and she glared fiercely at Mother Yan.
Thinking about the fifty yuan kickback she had received, Mrs. Yan couldn't help but feel guilty for a moment.
Could it be that the fifty yuan I received has been exposed?
If the Yan family had only received fifty yuan in total, the Zhao family wouldn't have bothered them at all.
But that's five hundred yuan! It would take a family at least three years of not eating or drinking to save that much. The Yan family is really ruthless.
"Sister, let's go inside and talk, so we don't become a laughing stock."
Mother Yan said ingratiatingly, while reaching out to pull Granny Zhao's hand.
"Need not."
Granny Zhao simply swatted her away.
"I'll let everyone judge this right now. Your Yan family introduced a potential partner to your niece, and the other party offered a dowry of 600 yuan, but your Yan family pocketed 500 yuan. Is that something a human being would do?"
"What? Five hundred yuan?"
Not only was Yan's mother shocked, but the onlookers were also in an uproar.
"Five hundred yuan, that's a lot of money! The Yan family is really audacious."
"Yan Song, hurry to the county and call your aunt back. Go now."
Even Mrs. Yan couldn't laugh anymore. Just how much trouble had Yan Xue gotten herself into?
