The little cook in the book has fallen asleep
Chapter 36 The Cheng Family Bought a Cow
"Wake up! Get up! Let's go sell cold noodles!"
"Cheng Xiaoba, shut up!" Then came the sound of Cheng Xiaoba crying loudly!
The early morning is always busy. The Cheng family members all got up following Cheng Xiaoba's loud voice, and a new day began!
After getting up, the three Cheng Jin brothers went to the fields to check on the growth of the crops, and brought back all the side dishes needed for making cold noodles.
Cheng Xiaowu, Cheng Xiaoliu and Cheng Xiaoqi went to collect grass for the pigs, and after crying, Cheng Xiaoba also picked up his small backpack and followed them.
The three sisters-in-law, Li Huaxiang, Zhao Yunniang and Lin Pan'er, had clear division of labor. Li Huaxiang was responsible for feeding the pigs, Zhao Yunniang took care of the chickens, ducks and rabbits, and Lin Pan'er cleaned the yard.
Old Mrs. Cheng was preparing breakfast in the kitchen. She also boiled and disinfected the bamboo bowls that would be used today. She also checked the chili oil she made last night and prepared the soul sauce that would be used today.
Cheng Yu was awakened by the early morning noise from the Cheng family. She stretched her arms and legs, then stretched herself.
I was wondering whether the tofu and pea jelly I made yesterday was successful, and I couldn't wait to go and see for myself.
So she didn't stay in bed anymore, but got up hurriedly and put on her clothes carelessly.
"Ding Dong, sister, remember to sign in to the space today. Today's surprise has been delivered!" Xiao Ou's voice really sounded more pleasant than ever.
Cheng Yu flashed into the space, clicked the sign-in button and signed in.
"Sister, congratulations on getting ten points, ten kilograms of Sichuan-style bacon, and a cured duck." Xiao Ou said happily. Today, he could finally leave the space openly.
"Why is this system becoming more and more stingy..." Cheng Yu said to Jiang Li.
"Sister, this is free for you just signing in! Look, that one at the back is the second level of the early warning function. You can upgrade it as long as you sign in for a month!" Xiao Ou said excitedly.
"Okay, after hearing what you said, I feel much better. I'm going out! I'll let you out halfway and you can come to find us by yourself!" Cheng Yu thought of her pea jelly and tofu, and she couldn't wait to get out of the space.
"Got it, sister. See you later!" Xiao Ou was happy when he thought of the warmth of the Cheng family and that he could spend more time with his sister in the future.
"Oh, my daughter is up?" Mrs. Cheng found it funny to see Cheng Yu in dishevel, "Daughter, grandma will take you to change your clothes. These clothes are not nice at all!"
"Okay..." Cheng Yu was carried back to the room to change clothes.
"Mom, it's done, it's done!" The grandmother and grandson had just changed their clothes when they heard the chattering voices of Li Huaxiang and her three sisters-in-law coming from outside.
"Oh, it's delicious. The tofu has a strong bean flavor!" Zhao Yunniang said immediately after putting the tofu that her mother-in-law gave her into her mouth.
How could it not be delicious? The beans are ground by hand, and even the water used to soak the beans is the spiritual spring water from the space.
"Oh, really, it's much more delicious than the tofu sold outside! If you make tofu pudding, it will be very popular!" Old Mrs. Cheng exclaimed.
"We're going to eat this pea jelly today! I'm going to cook the noodles, and we'll set it up when it's cooked!" Old Mrs. Cheng said with some anticipation as she looked at the pea jelly in front of her.
She decided to try this new food to see how it tasted.
After a while, the noodles were cooked. The old lady skillfully scooped them out and put them in a large wooden basin half filled with cold water to cool down quickly.
The three daughters-in-law kept adding cold water to the basin to ensure that the noodles could be completely "washed" and cooled.
Then, they rinsed the noodles with cold water used for cooking, added a large spoonful of fried sesame oil, and stirred evenly.
In this way, the three large bowls of noodles to be served today are ready.
Old Mrs. Cheng remembered the pea jelly that she had specially saved yesterday, so she took it out with great interest, cut it into small pieces, added various ingredients and the unique soul sauce and chili oil, and finally filled a large bowl with it.
"Xiaowu, Xiaoliu, go call grandpa and the others to come back for dinner!" Old Mrs. Cheng turned around and saw her four grandsons appear at the kitchen door on time, and a loving smile appeared on their faces.
She picked up a knife and cut a small piece of pea jelly for each person, asking them to eat while she went to the field to call for help.
"Grandma, bring two more bowls, my little sister is here!" Cheng Yu said in her heart. Xiao Ou just reminded her (Xiao Ou has a new function after the upgrade, which comes with a positioning function) that Sun Xiaoxiao is already on the way to the village.
Cheng Yu was helpless. This broken body restricted her. She spoke incoherently whenever she opened her mouth. She was not willing to speak. When would she be able to speak normally?
Old Mrs. Cheng heard what Cheng Yu said, but did not show it. She just silently took two more bowls and two pairs of chopsticks.
I also cut some pea jelly and put it in a bamboo bowl for later use, and asked Liu Ping to take it back for Sun Dadang and others to taste.
After all the Cheng family members arrived, Sun Xiaoxiao also arrived.
"Cheng Xiaoba, little girl, look what I brought you!" Sun Xiaoxiao strode into the Cheng family, carrying pastries, followed by Liu Ping who was carrying large and small bags.
"Xiaoxiao, Liu Ping, come quickly, we are eating jelly!" Old Mrs. Cheng shouted, and then made room for two seats for them.
"Here we are, there are delicious foods!" Sun Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and she quickly walked over to sit down, handing the cake in her hand to Cheng Yu, "This is the mung bean cake from the cake shop, it's delicious!"
Cheng Xiaoba took the cake and said sweetly, "Thank you, little sister, brothers, we have something delicious!"
Everyone was amused by Cheng Xiaoba.
Old Mrs. Cheng handed the pea jelly to Sun Xiaoxiao and Liu Ping, "Try it, it's freshly mixed and very refreshing."
Sun Xiaoxiao took a bite and immediately praised it: "It's delicious, grandma, you are such a great cook!"
Seeing that the young lady was enjoying the meal, Liu Ping didn't refuse and immediately picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, and then he fell in love with it.
It was the first time for the Cheng family to eat this pea jelly. They were all amazed and very happy at the same time. It will definitely be popular.
After everyone finished breakfast, Liu Ping was about to go back to the city. When he heard that the Cheng family was going to set up a stall to sell cold noodles, he insisted on taking them into the city.
So it was Mr. Cheng who stayed at home with Cheng Lixiao, Cheng Xiaoqi, and Sun Xiaoxiao.
Old Mrs. Cheng and her three sisters-in-law took Cheng Yu, Xiaowu, Xiaoliu, Xiaoba, and most of the cold noodles, pea jelly and tofu to set up the stall first.
(The carriage has limited space and cannot carry so many people, and they need a cart to help them return at night)
Cheng Yu also thought of this, and immediately took out a fifty-liang silver note from his bag and handed it to his father.
"Cow,... cow, cow..." Cheng Yu originally wanted to buy a horse, but then he thought it was inconvenient at home, so buying a cow would be best, so Cheng Yu put the matter of buying a cow on the agenda!
If someone asks, just say you borrowed it from the Sun family!
Cheng Yu felt that he was so smart that he even thought of an excuse.
Old Lady Cheng nodded, and Cheng Shang accepted the banknote, while Cheng Jin and Cheng Tian were thinking of putting the cow directly under Cheng Yu's name.
Everyone went into the city to sell things. Old Man Cheng went to the mountain to cut four or five bamboos to make bamboo bowls. Cheng Lixiao was playing chess with Sun Xiaoxiao.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and Mrs. Cheng's business is booming. Moreover, because they also provide bamboo bowl take-out service, the demand is even greater than the supply.
(Although bamboo bowls cost one more penny, they can be carried around and reused, so many people choose to take them away.)
At the same time, the number of seats in their house has increased, with eight tables accommodating more than fifty people at a time.
So today, all the cold noodles and pea jelly were sold out at about the same time as yesterday.
What surprised the old lady was the tofu. Zhao Yunniang listened to her daughter and cut the large piece of tofu into small pieces, allowing people who bought cold noodles or jelly to taste them for free. As a result, the tofu sold out.
Fortunately, she had left two pieces for Cheng Cuihua and Jiang Wuyou in advance, otherwise they would have had nothing to eat.
After everyone had packed up, the three Cheng Jin brothers and Jiang Xu went to the livestock market to buy cattle.
Old Mrs. Cheng was holding Cheng Yu and sitting in Jiang Wuyou's shop watching Cheng Xiaoba selling vegetables.
She suddenly remembered that all the bean sprouts and cucumbers at home were gone, so she asked her three daughters-in-law to go out and see if there were any bean sprouts for sale in the market. If they didn't see any, they could also buy some mung beans.
After a while, the three daughters-in-law came back with only half a bag of mung beans and said that there were no bean sprouts for sale in the market.
"Mom, what should we do? We will have to make jelly in the future and will have no time to grow bean sprouts!" Lin Pan'er was so busy that she would be busy grinding soy milk when she returned home.
"But no one is selling it!" said Li Huaxiang.
"Grandma, let my aunt and grandmother grow bean sprouts and sell them!" Cheng Yu said in his heart.
Jiang Wuyou already had a vegetable shop, and his aunt's house was very big, which was just the right place to grow bean sprouts.
Old Mrs. Cheng raised her head and her eyes fell on her niece who was busy in the shop.
I thought to myself: This is a good idea. This way, Wuyou can learn a skill and my sister-in-law's family can also increase their income. It's like killing two birds with one stone.
So, she asked, "My daughters-in-law, I want to teach Wuyou the technique of growing bean sprouts. What do you think?"
Although she had the skills, she decided to ask her daughters-in-law for their opinions first to show her respect for them.
When Li Huaxiang heard this, she immediately said, "I think it's okay!" In fact, she was a little unhappy at the beginning, after all, the technology for growing bean sprouts was unique to her family.
But then she thought, Jiang Xu's family has been helping wholeheartedly, and bean sprouts are an indispensable ingredient for making cold noodles. If she can really teach Wuyou, everyone can benefit together, so why not do it? So she happily agreed.
Zhao Yunniang and Lin Pan'er also nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Old Lady Cheng showed a satisfied smile on her face, turned around and shouted to Jiang Wuyou, "Wuyou, come here quickly! Big Boss's wife, please help Wuyou look after the shop!"
When Jiang Wuyou heard the call, he quickly put down the work in his hands and walked quickly to the side of Old Lady Cheng.
So when Cheng Jin and his men arrived in a ox cart, Jiang Wuyou was looking at Old Lady Cheng in admiration. Her third aunt had actually taught her a skill. With these bean sprouts, their Jiang family shop would be unique in the future.
The Cheng family returned with their ox carts, and the news soon spread throughout Qingshan Village.
Unlike the warm and harmonious Cheng family, the old Cheng family was so angry that they almost gritted their teeth when they heard that the Cheng family was going to the county town to do business and was coming back in a ox cart.
Qian Xiu'er, who was sitting not far away, was sloppy and had a calculating look on her face. The Cheng family had harmed her to this point, so don't blame her!
