Chapter 11

Making beef bone, string bean, and pork stew in the space

After browsing the black market for an afternoon, it was almost evening.

Tie Lanyan couldn’t wait to go home to cook, so she started cooking directly in the space.

Before, she had limited ingredients, she wanted to make string bean braised meat.

Now that she had so many delicious things, she had to make it more elaborate!

So she decided to cook pork, beef bones, eggs, and string beans all in one pot!

Fortunately, she had put some kitchen utensils and seasonings from her home kitchen into the space, so cooking was very convenient now.

She washed the pork and marinated it with soy sauce, blanched the beef bones in cold water to remove the blood, soaked the string beans, and prepared the scallions, ginger, garlic, and chili peppers.

She heated the oil in a pot, added the ginger, garlic, and chili peppers, stir-fried the beef bones until fragrant, then added soy sauce and dark soy sauce to stir-fry, and added three bowls of water to boil over high heat.

While the beef bones were boiling, Tie Lanyan started to make dough, preparing to cook a bowl of noodle soup.

She put the white flour in a large bowl, added a little water, and stirred with chopsticks while adding water.

Until the white flour became fluffy, she then kneaded it into a large ball of dough, covered it with a damp cloth, and let it rise.

After finishing all this, Tie Lanyan was starving.

She ate a big apple and a banana, then her stomach felt a little better.

Because she was in a hurry, Tie Lanyan directly used high heat to boil the beef bones, it was done in about 30 minutes.

Tie Lanyan threw the soaked string beans in and stir-fried them together, then added the marinated pork and stir-fried for a minute.

Finally, she cracked two eggs, sprinkled some chopped scallions on top, covered the pot, and let it simmer for a while.

While it was simmering, Tie Lanyan directly cut the risen dough into thin slices and boiled a pot of noodle soup in a clay pot.

The noodle soup was done, and the pork, beef bone, egg, and string bean stew was also ready.

Tie Lanyan didn’t want to serve it, she directly hugged the clay pot with her clothes and sat next to the iron pot, enjoying her meal.

She slurped a mouthful of the fragrant noodle soup, it warmed her heart.

She tore off a piece of the soft, spicy beef bone with her hands, it was chewy and springy.

She devoured one piece of tender pork after another, it was so satisfying.

The delicious poached egg paired with the refreshing string beans was simply delicious!

Tie Lanyan was very satisfied with this meal.

After finishing her meal, she didn’t idle, she went for a walk to the black soil area, thinking about what kind of grain to plant.

After finishing her round, she lay down on the bamboo recliner in the bamboo house to rest for a while.

Anyway, the time in the space was faster than the outside world, it was okay to stay a little longer.

When she came out of the space again, it was already past 6:30 pm outside.

Tie Lanyan went to the nearest bus stop, got on the bus, and rode for over an hour before arriving home.

The house was pitch black.

The storage room at the very back was also quiet.

This wasn’t right.

Zhang Cui’s family had been locked up for a whole day and night, how could they be so well-behaved?

Tie Lanyan held her breath and tiptoed towards the door.

Sure enough, she heard a few faint voices coming from inside.

“Mom, I’m really hungry, when can we go out?”

Hu Xiaolian’s complaining voice rang out.

Zhang Cui: “Your grandma said she’ll come to stay with us in a few days, probably tomorrow, when she comes, we can go out.”

Hu Xiaolian: “Really? That’s great, when I go out, I’m definitely not going to let Tie Lanyan, that vixen, off easy!”

Zhang Cui: “That little brat is like a bomb in the house, she has to be dealt with.”

Hu Zhuzi: “Why don’t we marry her off? Isn’t there a fool in your wife’s village who’s looking for a wife…”

“No.” Zhang Cui: “With that little brat’s crazy energy, what if she kills the fool? Then I would be responsible, it’s best to send her far away.”

Hu Xiaolian had a flash of inspiration: “Mom, why don’t we sign her up for the countryside? Preferably a very poor place, so she can’t come back!”

Hu Zhuzi clapped his hands: “Hey, that’s a good idea!”

Zhang Cui: “Keep your voice down, don’t let the little brat hear you.”

Zhang Cui: “Yes, that’s a good idea, we’ll sign the little brat up for the countryside tomorrow when we go out.

As for the compensation, we have to find it before she goes to the countryside, I don’t believe she can hide it!”

Hu Zhuzi’s eyes lit up: “Then we’ll sell her father’s job, that’s a lot of money!”

Hu Xiaolian: “Dad, you can’t sell the job, we’ll find the leader of the textile factory and exchange it for an easier job, I’ll take it.

Give the extra money to you to find a temporary job, that way you’ll have a job, your back will be straight, and people won’t look down on you.”

“Hehe, my daughter is still so smart, when I get a job, see who dares to talk nonsense!”

Hu Zhuzi chuckled, the more he thought about it, the better it sounded.

Zhang Cui: “When we get the compensation and the job, we’ll ask someone to sell this house, then buy a new one in a strange place, so no one will gossip.”

Tie Lanyan: …

Wow, she was speechless!

This family was going to eat her alive, not leaving her a single crumb!

Since that’s the case, she couldn’t just sit back and let them do this, right?

Tie Lanyan decided to empty out Zhang Cui’s family first.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, this kind of revenge is the best!

Zhang Cui’s family lived in a dilapidated apartment building in the west of the city.

At first, Zhang Cui pretended to be nice, she even took the original owner to her house for a meal.

The place was remote, but Tie Lanyan still found it following her memory.

Revenge is a dish best served cold, and a slap in the face is the most satisfying!

Tonight, Tie Lanyan was going to be a villain!

It was already past 9 pm, everyone was asleep.

Tie Lanyan was wearing black clothes, her hair was tied up, and she was covering her face with a black cloth.

It was dark and she was dressed in black, no one would recognize her.

In the apocalypse, Tie Lanyan learned many life skills.

Picking locks was one of them.

In less than 5 seconds, the door was pried open.

Tie Lanyan quickly went inside and first found Zhang Cui’s mother-in-law’s room.

This old lady was not a good person.

When the original owner came here before, she was all snide and sarcastic.

If the original owner hadn’t been well-educated, she would have slammed down her chopsticks and left.

Zhang Cui’s family of three were wolves in sheep’s clothing, and the old lady was a mean frog with a foul mouth.

They were all bad people!

This old lady was sleeping soundly with her blanket.

Tie Lanyan couldn’t stand seeing her so relaxed, she slapped her twice with two big slaps.

Humph! Sleep, sleep, I’m still working!

The old lady’s face was numb from the slaps.

She opened her eyes in a daze, before she could scream, Tie Lanyan knocked her unconscious with a hand chop.

She casually took a smelly sock and stuffed it in her mouth, then tied her hands to the bed frame.

Tie Lanyan then started to collect things with a swagger.
