Chapter 50 The powerful Li family

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 Mrs. 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 and beat Qian Shi who was lazy.

Mrs. Qian screamed 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, "Auntie! 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 have no ability, why can't I see others well? Who spread the rumors about Datou? Don't think I don't know!

Qian! I've warned you before not to take any chances with my grandson, but it seems you didn't take my words to heart at all! "

Yang Laoer was about to defend Qian.

Mr. Qian then shouted, "That's right! What kind of serious work can make the boss send four laborers to help at once! It's obvious that he has done something shameful!"

Mrs. Li was furious, "You all heard it! This stinky bitch used her mouth to smear my big boss without any evidence. You also listened to what she said, which is worse than a pig or a dog. Are you all 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! Even if you are just lazy, how can you still smear your eldest brother’s son like this? And you still deceive us! Really!"

One by one, they vented all their grievances about being scolded by Li on Yang Laoer.

Yang Laoer couldn't hold back his face and yelled at Mr. Qian for the first time: "Just do your 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'll give you the food and clothing to bear, and you're going to do this to me? I'm not going to live anymore!"

Li was so angry that she went up and hit Qian a few times, "Then die! Let me see where you can die?"

Qian was in pain, screamed and got up from the ground and ran away.

Mrs. Li walked around the fields again, clearly scolding Mr. 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 making a fuss.

Old Man Yang chuckled and said: "The old woman will not allow her grandson to suffer a loss. 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 hard on 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.

A stone mill is needed to make rice pulp. 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."

Mrs. Zhang waved her hand, "No! Go back and get busy."

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 were a little distracted while they were working.

Jiang Ning quickly cut two pieces for them to taste first, and received unanimous praise from Old Man Yang and Yang Erdan. She cut another piece, 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 put a large piece of Thousand Layer Cake and a large bowl of noodles on the plate and asked Old Man Yang to take them back.

Mrs. Li had a lot of trouble fighting 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 out of curiosity 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!"

Even so, Mrs. Li's movements were not slow. 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 pay attention to the meat I bought, so I just laid on an egg and had plain noodles!"

"How come it smells so good?" Ms. Li couldn't figure it out. Her cooking skills weren't bad, but compared with Jiang Ning's... forget it, there's no comparison!
  Ms. Li, who hadn't 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 almost 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 went over to 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 Da Tou 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 tricked by Qian into using him as a gunman.

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 bunch of women yelled and spat at each other in the yard of the old house, and even the village chief was summoned.
