The fierce peasant wife came to make a fortune

Chapter 114 Duan Xinyue rubs rice

"Okay, if my son agrees to sell these lands to you, and the village chief also agrees, then I have no objection." The woman said, anyway, these lands are quite wasteful for growing vegetables, so it's better to exchange them for some money.

Miao Xiaoyan said that she wanted to talk to those two brothers because she wanted to see how their character was. If possible, Miao Xiaoyan planned to keep them, which would be beneficial to both parties.

　In the evening, Miao Xiaoyan returned to the town, and Shanfeng said that Miss Duan's family had been here.

"Miss Duan came to see me?"

"Yeah, she kept yelling that you still owe her a meal!" Shanfeng shook her head amusedly. Miss Duan was really surprised that her family opened such a big restaurant and didn't go to eat, so she ran home to look for Yanzi .

"Haha~~ See, I forgot about this!" Miao Xiaoyan laughed.

"Sister-in-law, I won't go back to the village tomorrow. Anyway, my second uncle is watching. If I don't go for a long time, there won't be any problems." It's not good to be missed by her.

"Didn't you let your brother and I just wait for the new house with peace of mind? You can handle these things yourself!" Shanfeng said with a smile, in fact, it's nice to have a capable sister-in-law.

The next day, Miao Xiaoyan went to the restaurant first and asked the shopkeeper Luo to send someone to inform Ms. Duan to go to her house for dinner at noon, and then went to the street to buy a pork belly, a chicken, a spare rib, a vegetable and some ingredients.

"Swallow, here I come—" Duan Xinyue shouted into the carriage as soon as she got off the carriage.

"Miss Duan is here!" Miao Dafu greeted her.

Shanfeng, who was helping out in the kitchen, also walked out of the kitchen when she heard Duan Xinyue's voice.

"Miss Duan, Yanzi's dish will be ready soon, please sit down with this girl first." Shanfeng said to Duan Xinyue and the maid beside her.

"Sister-in-law, you can just call me Xinyue!" Duan Xinyue laughed.

"No, that's okay!" Shan Feng waved his hands in fear, how could he call her by her first name because of how noble this lady is?

Duan Xinyue shrugged and did not insist anymore.

"Serve!" Miao Xiaoyan brought out the eight-treasure rice first.

"Wow, Yanzi, what's this dish called? It's so beautiful!" Duan Xinyue asked while lying on the table.

"This is not a dish, but a salty eight-treasure rice!"

Miao Xiaoyan said and ran into the kitchen to serve the dishes.

"Wow! Yanzi, how can I manage to cook your dishes so beautifully?" Duan Xinyue looked at those dishes with golden eyes and said.

"Then just watch us finish eating!" Miao Xiaoyan said deliberately, glancing at her.

"Swallow, how do you talk?" Miao Dafu scolded.

"Hehe, big brother, it's okay, Yanzi is joking with me!" Duan Xinyue said and sat down.

"Wait—"

Miao Xiaoyan was about to put down her chopsticks when she was stopped by Duan Xinyue.

"Aren't you hungry?" Miao Xiaoyan asked.

"Hungry, but first you have to introduce to me what these dishes are called and how are they made?"

Miao Xiaoyan put down her chopsticks, pointed to the bowl of eight-treasure rice and said, "As I said just now, it is salty eight-treasure rice, which contains black sesame, peanuts, red dates, red beans, mushrooms, lean meat, chopped green onion, etc."

"This," Miao Xiaoyan introduced, pointing to a plate of something like a flower: "This is a peony fish fillet. It is made of grass carp meat, ginger, green onions, vinegar, salt and a little five-spice powder. Wrap it in flour and fry it in oil, and finally put it on a plate, add some thickening, sugar and vinegar on top."　
There are not many materials to be used here, so Miao Xiaoyan also simplified the peony fish fillet.
