The wicked sister-in-law is in charge; meals include fish and shrimp.

Chapter 13 A Delicious Meal

The two quickly took a cold shower, changed their clothes, and went to the main hall for dinner. Wen Muchuan, sitting in the head seat, couldn't help but ask, "Old woman, where did this meat come from?"

Before Xie He could speak, Wen Zixun excitedly said, "It was my sister who caught it!" He looked very proud of himself.

He spoke happily about the two of them delivering water and their time in the mountains, though a hint of regret lingered on his face.

If it weren't dark, they could have stayed a little longer and maybe even gained more!

Wen Muchuan smacked him on the head with a chopstick and glared at him, "I told you not to go into the mountains! You wait, I'll teach you a lesson!"

Wen Zixun pouted. Anyway, his sister said she would take him next time, so he might as well pack up. At worst, he could just run faster in a little while.

"Alright! Don't spoil your daughter's fun! She cooked all of this!"

As Xie He spoke of this, her smile grew wider and wider. Her daughter had asked her to give guidance from the side, but she hadn't said a word or helped at all.

This dish smells so good and looks so beautiful, it must taste amazing!

Xie He couldn't stop smiling when she thought that it was made by her youngest daughter.

Her daughter is capable and respectable!

Wen Muchuan was taken aback and gave Wen Luozhi a thumbs up.

"My little sister is the best!" Wen Ziming said to everyone with a simple and honest smile.

Wen Luozhi's eyes darted around, and she felt something was missing. "Second sister-in-law, help second brother out so we can eat together," she said.

Yang Guilan, who had been looking down, immediately raised her head and replied repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I'll listen to you, little sister! I'll go right now."

She rushed into the house with a happy smile. Just now she was thinking how wonderful it would be if her husband could eat with them too!

But since her mother-in-law didn't say anything, she didn't dare to either. She never expected that her sister-in-law would think of this issue!

"My lord, my sister said she wants you to come out and have dinner with us!" She lit the lamp and walked to the bedside to say to Wen Zizhong.

Wen Zizhong nodded with a smile. He had heard everything that was happening outside. He hadn't expected his sister to be so capable.

This was only the second time in many years that he hadn't resisted leaving the house. As soon as Yang Guilan helped him out of the room, Wen Ziming went to greet him, saying, "Second brother, let me help you."

Wen Ziming felt his eyes welling up with tears; after all these years, his second brother was finally willing to get out of bed.

Old Man Wen looked pleased, while Xie He's eyes glistened with tears.

Just think positively, just think positively!

With everyone at home gathered, Wen Zizhong couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement at the dishes on the table. His family was struggling financially and had never eaten so well, even during the New Year.

Xie He placed the chicken leg meat on Wen Luozhi's plate, and this time she accepted it with a smile without refusing.

She chopped the leg into several pieces, and there were still some left in the bowl. Besides, there was also a lot of chicken and fish, so she wasn't worried about others not having enough to eat.

At Xie He's command, everyone's chopsticks moved back and forth among the food.

"Lolo, the food is delicious."

Wen Zizhong ate slowly, and when he had a moment to comment, the others nodded vigorously at Wen Luozhi.

The stewed pheasant was so tender it fell off the bone, and each bite was incredibly delicious. The fish, unlike the boiled fish of the past, had absolutely no fishy smell and was perfectly sweet and sour.

They had no idea that pheasants and fish could be cooked like that!

Even ordinary pickled cabbage and rice become incredibly appetizing, and with a sip of ice-cold plum juice every now and then, this meal is so comfortable that even the gods wouldn't trade it for it!

When Wen Luozhi had eaten more than half of the meat, she noticed that the potatoes in the bowl were still there. She scooped up a spoonful of potatoes and mixed them with the soup into her rice.

Wen Zixun also followed her example and mixed the rice with it. After taking a bite, he couldn't stop picking at the potatoes.

The group had initially been focused on eating meat, but seeing how much he enjoyed it, they also picked up some potatoes to try. After that, they started fighting over the potatoes.

When only a little soup remained, Old Man Wen, holding the bowl, glared at the group and said, "This little bit of soup is mine! Nobody take it!"

He had only been drinking a little wine for a moment, and the kids had already snatched up almost all the food.

Luckily, his daughter left him a lot!

When the last dish was finished, there wasn't a single bite left on the table, and Wen Zixun let out a satisfied burp.

My younger sister is the best. With her, I get to eat big bowls of white rice and delicious meat.

Little Tiger remembered Wen Luozhi saying there would be good food when he came back that morning. The little guy, his mouth full of grease, hugged Wen Luozhi's leg without any resistance and said in his childish voice, "Hello, Auntie, give me meat...meat, meat, please."

Wen Luozhi was completely charmed and bent down to pick him up, refusing to let go.

Wen Zizhong looked at Yang Guilan with concern and said, "Luo Luo has had a hard day, don't let Xiao Hu tire her out."

Upon hearing his father's words, Xiao Hu slid off Wen Luozhi's arms and pounced on Yang Guilan, much to everyone's amusement.

Remembering that there was something important to do, Wen Luozhi cleared her throat and said, "Did everyone eat the potatoes in the chicken just now? Wasn't it delicious?" The others nodded.

Wen Luozhi smiled and continued, "The book says there are many ways to cook this little thing. We've only discovered two today; they all taste great when fried, stir-fried, braised, or boiled."

“Most importantly…” Wen Luozhi glanced at the group and started circling around the issue.

"What's important, little sister?" Wen Ziming asked impatiently.

“The important thing is that its yield can reach 200 jin per mu,” Wen Luozhi replied.

Upon hearing this, Wen Ziming's eyes widened.

He loved tending to the crops in the fields and knew what that meant.

Not only him, but the others were also stunned.

Wen Muchuan took a couple of puffs of his pipe, his eyes gleaming. "Even if we don't have a rice harvest, we won't have to worry about food in the winter."

The crops in the fields are not growing well this year, and even after paying taxes, the harvest I have left won't last through the winter.

That would be wonderful if such a good thing really existed.

Wen Luozhi nodded approvingly at her father's words and smiled, "My sixth brother and I only dug a little bit today. There's still a lot left in the mountains; we can go dig it up tomorrow."

"Besides the seeds, there's plenty left over that can be eaten."

Wen Ziming was already rubbing his hands together, and he leaned closer to Wen Luozhi, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Little sister, could you... something about this potato thing?"

"Leave the potato planting to your eldest brother! He's the best at farming!" Before Wen Ziming could finish speaking, Wen Luozhi patted his shoulder confidently with her small hand.

"I will share the potato planting method from the book with everyone later. As for putting it into practice, we'll have to work together."

After a hearty meal, everyone was in high spirits. Once the house was tidied up, they all sat together around Wen Luozhi.

The group all looked very serious, listening intently as if afraid of missing any detail Wen Luozhi mentioned.

Xie He's "daughter filter" has gotten stronger; the more she looks at Wen Luozhi, the more she likes her.

Let's see who dares to say her daughter is lazy and good-for-nothing! Who else has as much knowledge and experience as her daughter?!

After discussing the potatoes, the next step was to divide the work. We needed to take the pheasants and rabbits to exchange for money, and we also needed to dig up the potatoes in the mountains and plant them as soon as possible.

After thinking for a moment, Xie He said to the group, "Tomorrow my daughter and I will go to town, Xiao Liu will take his father and eldest son to the mountains, and the rest of you will go as usual."
