The little cook in the book has fallen asleep

Time flies. It has been more than a month since Zheng Rong followed Zhao Yunniang back to Cheng’s house!

Everyone in the Cheng family liked her very much, especially Old Mrs. Cheng and her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. They all called her "Grandma" and "Auntie" in a sweet way that made the four of them feel sweet too.

Zheng Rong was very happy during the time she lived in the Cheng family, even though the room she lived in was not as big as the toilet of the Zheng family in Beijing.

And he has to live with Xiaolan, but that is a small room reserved for Cheng Yu. The Cheng family decorated it very carefully, so it is very warm.

From time to time, she would ask Xiaolan and the Cheng family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to go to the county town to buy some rice, flour, grain and oil. She couldn't eat for free at the Cheng family!

"Cousin, your saliva is about to flow into the braised pork!" Cheng Yu said with a smile. She thought that this cousin from the Zheng family was very interesting and a big foodie!

And she, Cheng Yu, could finally, finally speak a complete sentence.

"No, how is that possible!" Although Zheng Rong denied it, she couldn't help but touch the corner of her mouth.

"Hahaha, Rong'er, you are so funny!" Sun Xiaoxiao said with a smile.

She and her father went on a escort mission. When they came to Cheng's house, they found that there was a new cousin. She thought she was a beloved sister, but it turned out that she was Cheng Yu's biological cousin.

Although she didn't do anything shameful, she still apologized for her cold eyes and cold words to Zheng Rong at the beginning.

Zheng Rong had seen a lot of dirty things in the backyard. This was the first time she met a woman like Sun Xiaoxiao who was so bold in love and hate, and she liked Sun Xiaoxiao very much!

Sun Xiaoxiao's personality is that if she likes someone, she likes him, and if she doesn't like someone, she will just not show a good face. Zheng Rong then realized that there really are girls who can live like this.

So, after a few interactions, the two became familiar with each other and became good friends who could talk about anything.

Cheng Xiaoba looked at the two people who were still at loggerheads a week ago, and now they were as close as one person, and shook his head. He didn't understand! The world of women is too difficult to understand.

Old Mrs. Cheng skillfully prepared the braised pork. This was done because her daughter taught her how to cook because she could understand her daughter’s thoughts.

Old Mrs. Cheng prepared the ingredients and then cut the pork belly into small square pieces.

I saw the seasonings on the table: onion segments, ginger slices, star anise, cinnamon, and bay leaves.

He picked up the soy sauce and rice wine, as well as an appropriate amount of rock sugar, and nodded with satisfaction.

The big pot has been cleaned, and at this moment Zheng Rong and Sun Xiaoxiao are squatting on the ground making a fire.

Zheng Rong's hand touched some pot ash from somewhere, and seeing sweat running down Sun Xiaoxiao's cheek, she wiped it off for Sun Xiaoxiao. Then she felt her face was itchy, so she wiped it as well.

"Hahaha, you are all big cats!" Cheng Xiaoba shouted standing at the door!

"Cat, cat!" Xiao Ou also followed Cheng Xiaoba and said, laughing around the two girls.

"I want to eat roasted bird meat!" Sun Xiaoxiao could see Zheng Rong's face, and she held back her laughter and teased Xiao Ou.

"What a coincidence! I want to eat cooked parrot meat. I wonder if parrot meat tastes good!" Zheng Rong also tried to hold back her laughter.

"Xiao Ou, there is no meat. Xiao Ou, there is no meat. The meat is sour and not tasty!" Xiao Ou immediately flew far away and stood on the top of a tree outside, shouting.

Cheng Yu held up his little face, looked at Xiao Ou who was running for his life on the left, then looked at the two big cats on the right, and laughed happily.

Old Mrs. Cheng also looked up and saw, wow, where did these two big cats come from!

Then he suppressed his laughter and said, "Xiaoxiao, go to the yard and wash your face!"

Xiaolan also held back her laughter and poured water into a basin and placed it on the stone table.

When Cheng Lixiao looked up, he saw Sun Xiaoxiao, smiling like a flower, coming out of the kitchen. He felt his heart was about to jump out of his chest. Then he saw Zheng Rong following behind Sun Xiaoxiao, and he immediately stood up and went back to his room.

Mrs. Cheng put the chopped pork belly into the pot, added enough water, put in scallion segments, ginger slices and cooking wine, brought to a boil over high heat, skimmed off the foam, and cooked for 3 minutes, then removed the pork belly and set aside.

Then start frying sugar color. Add a small amount of oil to the pan, put in rock sugar, and fry slowly over low heat until the rock sugar is completely melted and the color turns reddish brown.

Add the pork belly cubes and stir-fry evenly so that each piece of meat is evenly coated with caramel color.

Add star anise, cinnamon and bay leaves and continue to stir-fry until fragrant.

Add enough hot water (the water should cover the pork belly), add soy sauce, bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat for 40-60 minutes, until the meat is tender.

Soon the house was filled with the smell of stewed meat, which made the kids next door cry with envy.

"Damn it, who stole our daughter's corn!" In order to avoid suspicion, Cheng Yiyu took his brothers to weed in the back after reviewing his lessons. Now it was Cheng Xiaoqi who was yelling.

"What? What? Xiaojiu's corn was stolen?" Cheng Xiaoba ran to the backyard.

"What? What? My corn was stolen!" Cheng Yu stood up and ran out.

Seeing Cheng Yu's short legs running wildly in front of them, Sun Xiaoxiao and Zheng Rong didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

A few days ago, Cheng Yu said that the corn was ready to be eaten, so he asked Old Mrs. Cheng to pick a few corn cobs and roast them for them to eat. They still remember the taste!

In the backyard, a group of people stood in front of the corn stalks closest to Cheng Pandi's house, staring at the corn stalks that had been picked until not a single corn was left, and they were all furious.

The weather was a bit hot these two days, so they just watered the corn and left. They never thought that they would come in to see if the corn had been stolen.

Cheng Xiaoqi was careful. He saw some weeds and went in to pull them out. But when he looked up, he found that his daughter's corn cobs were all gone. That's why he shouted!

"How shameless! How could someone run into someone else's yard to steal food?" Old Mrs. Cheng looked at the footprints and saw that they were heading towards Cheng Pandi's house.

Cheng Tiezi is such a jerk. He divorced his wife as soon as she got into trouble! She thought he was just heartless, but it turned out that the couple had exactly the same moral character.

"Grandma, the one who eats corn will give birth to a son without an anus!" Cheng Xiaoba said loudly. He was very proud of it. He learned this from those grandmas when he went to the tree at the entrance of the village to listen to gossip.

"Uh... cough cough cough, Xiao Ba, where did you learn this?" Old Mrs. Cheng wanted to curse at something, but when she was frightened by this boy, she immediately started coughing and swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

"Grandma, I'm going to the big tree at the entrance of the village to listen to what my uncle, grandma and the ancestors say!" Cheng Xiaoba said honestly.

"Cough cough cough... Xiao Ba, don't go out and learn these things in the future. Grandma won't say anything, and you shouldn't say them in the future either!" Old Mrs. Cheng was really shocked by her grandson and she coughed so hard that tears came out.

"Grandma, harvest all the corn in this field!" Cheng Yu said, pointing at the corn fields next to Cheng Pandi's.

These thieves next door, let them have diarrhea after eating!

She originally wanted to save these corns for seeds, but...if she couldn't keep them, she would just sell them for money and keep the other part for seeds.

Cheng Tiezi listened to the scolding coming from the Cheng family and looked at his four grandchildren shivering while holding corn. He swallowed.

"Tell me, who told you to take other people's corn!" He had smelled the fragrance of corn that day and had been craving for it for a long time, so he did not use the word "steal", but just said "take".

"Big sister, it was big sister who came up with the idea!" Cheng Sanmao immediately pushed big sister Daya out.

"Well done, Daya. Let's go and cook some corn!" Cheng Tiezi didn't scold Daya, but praised her instead.

After they cooked the corn, they ate it voraciously. Cheng Tiezi even wanted to ask Daya to steal it again, but... they had no chance.

"Oh, that's the braised pork in my pot!" Then Old Mrs. Cheng ran back to continue cooking, and Cheng Yu took his brothers to pick corn cobs.

More than ten minutes later, Cheng Yu looked at the corn cobs all over the yard. She still didn't let Cheng Yiyu and the others cut down the cobs. She wanted to catch them in the act!

"Brothers, please help me wash the mortar. I need it. Sisters, can you help me peel the corn?" Cheng Yu pointed to the big mortar under the big tree and shook it while pulling Zheng Rong and the others' sleeves.

"Okay, okay, we'll help you, Xiaolan. Go ask grandma to get a dustpan!" Zheng Rong had no ability to resist this cute little cousin.

"Little sister, what delicious food have you thought of?" Sun Xiaoxiao came up to Cheng Yu and asked with a smile.

"Guess!" Cheng Yu teased her deliberately. This future sister-in-law is a foodie, and it seems that her cousin is also a foodie. It's hard! She reached out and patted her head.

"What are you thinking about?" Sun Xiaoxiao put her face close to Cheng Yu. This little brat couldn't be treated as a child. Sometimes her thoughts made people laugh and cry.

"Foodies, you...you, the foodie duo!" Cheng Yu said.

"What is a foodie?" Zheng Rong peeled a corn and came forward to ask.

"I can't walk when I see something delicious!" Cheng Yu didn't know how to explain it, so he could only say this.

"You, you mischievous ghost!" Zheng Rong spoke directly in dialect.

Sun Xiaoxiao looked at Cheng Yu with resentment. She knew that this little brat had no good intentions, so she didn't ask any more questions.

"Hurry up, you two foodies, get started. I'll make you some corn cakes!" Cheng Yu continued to stab them with the knife.

"Foodie! Foodie! Foodie!" Xiao Ou repeated on the top of the tree.

The Cheng family boys burst into laughter.

"Shut up, I want to eat roasted bird meat!" Zheng Rong's voice.

"Shut up, I want to drink bird meat soup!" Sun Xiaoxiao's voice.

"Ah...sinister intentions, sinister intentions!" Xiao Ou shouted. It learned a new word from Cheng Xiaoba this morning, and it didn't know if it used it correctly.

Old Mrs. Cheng was watching the fighting in the yard from the kitchen. She said nothing, but just smiled so hard that only her teeth were showing.

When Li Huaxiang and her two sisters-in-law came back, they saw this scene: the boys and three girls were each sitting at a stone table, peeling corn kernels in their hands, and they looked very harmonious.

"This day is worth more than any other!" said Zhao Yunniang.

"Yes, this day is priceless!" Li Huaxiang and Lin Paner said in unison.

Then he unloaded the things on the ox cart, came to the big tree and said, "Children, do you need our help?"

"Yes, come quickly!" Cheng Yu's voice.

"What is this for?" Zhao Yunniang asked.

"Keep it a secret!" Cheng Yu replied

... "Brother, pound it finer!"

"Xiao Ba, don't bring it out!"
