The little cook in the book has fallen asleep

"Cheng Pandi, Cheng Tiezi, are you sending your pigs to Brother Tielin's house to beg for food?" This voice belonged to the village chief. After he had finished his meal, he saw Cheng Tielin and his sister.

Cheng Cuihua hadn't seen this cousin for a long time, so she invited him to her third brother's house to reminisce about the past. Before the three of them arrived at Cheng's house, they smelled the overbearing fragrance, and then heard loud knocks on the door.

So those pigs, no! The grandchildren of Cheng Pandi were caught by the village chief, especially after hearing Cheng Pandi's shameless words.

"My dear, I didn't know that your family is so poor that you can't even afford food, and you have to force your grandson to beg for food from other families!" the village chief said sarcastically.

The village chief naturally knew that Cheng Tiezi was at home. They had just been eating at the same table, and the couple looked like they hadn't eaten for hundreds of years. They came from the Cheng family together.

"Haha, Brother Tiesong, aren't these just kids being greedy? They are just satisfying their cravings!" Cheng Tiezi said shamelessly.

Cheng Tiezi and Cheng Pandyi are of the same character. They can sleep in the same bed with two different people!

"Haha, then your children are so young!" The village chief immediately said sarcastically, the oldest one is 15 years old, and they are still children?

Look at Brother Tielin’s family, those fifteen-year-old kids have already gone to the provincial capital to take the Spring Examination, and Cheng Liyao is only 13 years old. They all want to support the family.

The door of the Cheng family was opened. Cheng Lixiao, sitting in a wheelchair with a sword in his hand, immediately pointed at the six grandchildren of Cheng Pandi's family and said, "Get lost, don't come over here again, or I will chop you to death!"

After saying that, he chopped down a small tree near the door, and the tree immediately split into two halves.

"I'm sorry, buddy, my son Xiao is in poor health and has a bad temper. Besides, he is still young and we can't take care of him!" said Grandpa Cheng. Of course, Cheng Lixiao is only sixteen years old!

Cheng Pandi's grandsons were so scared that they were pissing their shit, fearing that they would be killed by Cheng Lixiao if they ran too slowly.

In the kitchen, Old Lady Cheng cut the cucumber into shreds according to Cheng Yu's request, blanched the bean sprouts and washed leeks, cooked the noodles, rinsed them with cold water, and then put them in a large basin.

He scooped a bowl of vinegar, added some boiling water and soy sauce, poured in the chili oil, added salt and MSG (produced by Space), and after adjusting the taste, he asked the three daughters-in-law to serve it out.

Then the old lady was afraid that everyone would not have enough to eat, so she made a lot of fried leek dumplings and carried them out.

"What are you doing standing at the door? I know you haven't eaten enough. Come and have cold noodles and leek dumplings with us today!" There has never been a full meal at the banquet hosted by Liu Hua.

The village chief looked at it awkwardly. It was neither right nor wrong to go in! He didn't know that Tielin's brother and sister came back for a snack. If he knew, he wouldn't come.

"Tiesong, what are you doing standing there? Old man, bring Tiesong in quickly, close the door, and let him try the new food we have researched!" Old Mrs. Cheng immediately asked Old Man Cheng to bring him in, close the door, and have dinner.

Cheng Jin and the others also washed their hands and went to the kitchen to get medium-sized bowls. Xiaowu and Xiaoliu counted the number of people and took out chopsticks.

Li Huaxiang and her sisters-in-law immediately distributed the noodles and dishes. Fortunately, Cheng Yu saw that there were many members of the Cheng family, so he took out a breakfast bowl from the space, which came in handy now.

Old Mrs. Cheng picked up a bowl of noodles and began to season it, adding chopped coriander and green onions, some of the sauce she had prepared, and some chili oil. When she was done, she handed it to the village chief.

Then he continued to stir the food, and after repeating this process more than ten times, everyone was holding up a bowl, except that the children's bowl did not have chili oil in it.

"Grandma, mom... want it!" Cheng Yu sat on his little chair, pointed at the chili oil and immediately said to Grandma Cheng.

"The soul of cold noodles lies in the chili oil, I want to eat chili oil!" Cheng Yu roared in her heart, scaring the old lady so much that she immediately added a small spoonful of chili oil to her bowl.

This little ancestor is becoming more and more creative. He must have learned howling from Cheng Xiaoba!

People here haven’t discovered that peppers can be eaten this way, so now people who eat cold noodles are getting more and more addicted to it.

The three Cheng Jin brothers were already eating their second bowl, and they added three spoonfuls of chili oil, saying how satisfying it was while eating.

Seeing his sister enjoying the meal so much, Cheng Lixiao also added a full spoonful of chili oil. Xiaowu, Xiaoliu, Xiaoqi and Xiaoba followed suit and added half a spoonful of chili oil. Even the village chief added a large spoonful of chili oil to his noodles.

"Oh, Third Sister-in-law, your cooking skills are amazing!" Cheng Cuihua ate two large bowls of noodles and now sat on the bench, unable to move.

"Yes, third aunt, I wouldn't even trade it for meat to have a bowl of sour and spicy cold noodles in the summer!" Jiang Wuyou said.

"Yes, I'm not bragging about the craftsmanship. This is the most delicious noodles I have ever eaten in my life!" said the village chief.

"Grandma, let's go to the county town to sell cold noodles!" Cheng Yu said in his heart. As soon as these words came out, the four people in the Cheng family looked at Cheng Yu straight.

It seems to make some sense. The Cheng family can at least ensure that they won't starve by farming. They have to have a source of money to buy the land. Selling cold noodles is a good idea!

"Cuihua, Wuyou, what if I go to the county town to sell these cold noodles? Summer is coming soon..." asked Old Mrs. Cheng.

"Then I have to have a bowl every day? That's great, third aunt, if you want to sell cold noodles in the county town, you can sell them in front of my husband's shop!" Jiang Wuyou is a foodie, and her husband's shop sells vegetables. It has a good location and a large flow of people.

"Okay, let's give it a try. Huaxiang, Yunniang, Pan'er, what do you think?" asked Old Mrs. Cheng.

"Mom, I don't object, but the three of us have to do the work, and you just stand by and give the orders!" said Li Huaxiang. Her mother-in-law suffered a great blow when she gave birth to her sister-in-law, and now she is still very weak.

Cheng Yu: The spiritual spring water cured it...

"Yes, just you can teach us here!" said Lin Pan'er and Zhao Yunniang.

"Then Wuyou, Third Aunt will have to trouble you!" The business was settled, and the three families would do it together!

Seeing that it was getting late, Cheng Cuihua said goodbye to her son and daughter. Old Lady Cheng arranged for Cheng Jin and Cheng Shang to send her sister-in-law and her family to the city gate and then come back.

The leftover cold noodles and chive dumplings tonight will be packed into two portions, one for my sister-in-law to take home and one for my niece to take back to her husband's home.

When Cheng Jin and Cheng Shang sent people out of Qingshan Village, they had just walked halfway when they saw from afar their uncle and brother-in-law holding lanterns in the moonlight looking for their aunt and others.

After exchanging greetings, everyone went back to their homes.

When Cheng Jin and Cheng Shang came back, they found their son/nephew holding a sword and sitting in a wheelchair guarding the door of the Cheng family. The four people, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law of the Cheng family, were washing vegetables and heating oil.

"Huaxiang, Pan'er, Yunniang, come here! I will teach you how to make soul sauce and chili oil." Old Mrs. Cheng asked Cheng Yu. What she meant was that the whole family must know how to make it, because she was the only one who had chili powder and cumin powder, and she was not afraid of it at all.

"This is chili powder, this is pepper powder, and this is cumin powder. Mix them together, then heat the oil..." Old Mrs. Cheng was afraid of missing a step, so she immediately repeated it again. This time she listened to Cheng Yu's advice and did not add cumin powder.

Then he let the three daughters-in-law take turns to experience it. After preparing the chili oil, he sent them back to sleep.

The next day, the three sisters-in-law got up early and watered the livestock and the land in the backyard. They found that the corn seedlings had grown a lot, and even the potatoes had begun to sprout.

The three brothers of the Cheng family went to the fields early in the morning and picked ten cucumbers, coriander, chives, and leeks, then went home to the well, washed them, and brought them to the kitchen.

The three sisters-in-law quickly prepared all the side dishes, placed them in a clean wooden barrel, adjusted the seasoning (the old lady let them go outside so that others would see them and learn the secret recipe), and poured them into the clean barrel.

The three Cheng Jin brothers washed the cart clean, took a clean piece of wood and moved the things up little by little, and finally put the bowls and chopsticks on the cart.

The Cheng family went into the city to sell cold noodles. Of course, Old Man Cheng, Cheng Lixiao, and Xiao Qi stayed at home to look after the house, because they didn't know how long it would take to sell all the noodles.

When they arrived at the place Jiang Wuyou mentioned, they were stunned. Jiang Wuyou's husband Jiang Xu had moved out a shady place and put out a new table. It was obvious that it was prepared by Jiang Ling for them.

Li Huaxiang and the other two immediately moved everything to the table. After everything was ready, they made four bowls of cold noodles for the four people in Jiang Wuyou's family. They also asked Xiaowu and Xiaoliu to send some to Cheng Cuihua before they started shouting.

"Selling cold noodles, selling cold noodles, sour and spicy cold noodles! Eight cents a bowl!" Old Mrs. Cheng shouted, and then...

"Selling cold noodles, selling cold noodles! Sour and spicy cold noodles! Eight cents a bowl!" Cheng Xiaoba followed suit and immediately started shouting in the same manner.

Li Huaxiang and the other two held back their laughter and let him shout.

"Sister, your cold noodles are so delicious. My daughter-in-law brought it to us last night and we still can't eat enough!" Jiang Wuyou's mother-in-law was a kind-looking old lady. At this moment, she came to finish her bowl of cold noodles, and then pulled Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Yu to chat.

"I'm glad you like it. Thank you for giving us such a space. We'll settle the rent with you later!" When Mrs. Cheng saw that the dishes were returned cleanly, she knew that this old lady was easy to get along with.

"No, no, we are all family, so let's not be picky!" said Old Mrs. Jiang.

"Oh, let's put things separately and business separately. Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly!" Old Mrs. Cheng insisted on giving it. This is her niece's in-laws' home, and she can't skimp on what she should give.

"What are you selling?" a woman with a bulging belly walked up to the stall and asked.

"Hello, sister. This is called cold noodles. It's sour and spicy and very delicious. Eight cents a bowl!" The Cheng family was going out to sell food today, so they were dressed very neatly and kept their hands clean, which made people feel good about them.

"Well, it's not expensive. Give me a bowl!" The little woman said immediately when she saw the big bowl, then walked to a small table nearby and sat down.

Li Huaxiang immediately packed the side dishes and handed them to Zhao Yunniang. After Zhao Yunniang packed the sauce, she handed it to Lin Paner. Lin Paner carried the cold noodles and chili oil and went to the young woman.

"Sister, I see that you are pregnant. This chili oil is a bit spicy. I will add it little by little. If you feel it is not spicy enough, just ask me to add more!" Lin Paner explained in a gentle voice.

"Okay," the little woman didn't know what chili oil was, nor did she understand what spicy food felt like.

She stirred it first, took a bite and felt the taste was not too amazing, then Lin Paner added half a spoonful of chili oil, and the young woman began to eat it with relish.
