The little cook in the book has fallen asleep

The next morning, the sky was just getting light and the roosters had just crowed. Perhaps because they were still thinking about going to the county town to sell corn cakes, the Cheng family got up.

They were so nervous that they didn't make breakfast early in the morning. Everyone steamed a few steaming corn cakes for breakfast. After eating, the whole family started to get busy.

The three brothers of the Cheng family began to tend the crops in the fields. Grandpa Zhong also planted some rice on the newly bought land, but it did not grow well, so the three of them began to worry again.

Cheng Lixiao and his brothers helped Li Huaxiang and her two sisters-in-law put all the things on the ox cart. Cheng Yiyu and Cheng Liyao planned to go to the county town to help.

Xiaowu (Cheng Yihua), Xiaoliu (Cheng Zhiwu) and Xiaoqi (Cheng Liyue) happily picked up a dozen corn cakes and got on the ox cart to go to the private school.

Grandma specifically told them to make sure to deliver the food to the teacher.

It was the first time to sell corn cakes, and Old Lady Cheng and Cheng Yu were a little worried, but the grandfather and grandson Liang decided to go to the county town together. Since Cheng Xiaoba knew how to shout, Old Lady Cheng took him into the town.

Zheng Rong had nothing to do, so she happily followed them to the county town, intending to visit Sun Xiaoxiao at the escort agency.

Three sisters-in-law and Cheng Yiyu and his brother sat on the Cheng family's ox cart, pulling the things to be sold today. Old Lady Cheng and others sat in Zheng Rong's horse-drawn carriage, so the number of people was just right.

When passing by the new house at the foot of the green hills, Old Mrs. Cheng took a special look at it.

I saw that the tiling of the house had already begun and it looked like the project was progressing smoothly and was not far from completion.

It seems that they are going to move to a new home soon.

"Come here, come here, freshly baked corn cakes, corn cakes that will fill you up!" Cheng Xiaoba shouted with all his might.

Xiao Ou stood on the shelf nearby, "Corn cakes, corn cakes!"

Because this was a food stall, Cheng Yu repeatedly warned Xiao Ou not to fly around and only stand on the shelf downwind to shout.

Many people were attracted by this novel scene and immediately stopped to watch.

Oh, this is the stall selling cold noodles, but I don’t want to eat cold noodles today. Hey, what is that new thing?

"Young man, what is this? How much is it?" A middle-aged man dressed very elegantly came forward and asked.

"Hello, uncle, this is corn cake, a multi-grain cake that can fill you up. It's 7 cents for one, or cents for two!" Cheng Yiyu said with a smile.

"It's so expensive!" The price was a bit high. A meat bun was only five cents, but this one was as big as three meat buns. The middle-aged man hesitated.

"Uncle, you can try it. I won't charge you if it doesn't taste good." Cheng Xiaoba handed him a small piece with a smile.

They all still remember what their sister told them: the food should not be cut too big or too small, so that it can taste good and make customers want to eat it again.

The middle-aged man was a little confused, but he still took the corn cake, thinking: There is still food tasting? Since I am here, I might as well try it.

As a result, when he put the corn cake into his mouth, he was instantly conquered by the rich aroma. What was that unique taste? Was it this new variety of corn?

"Give me two," the middle-aged man originally planned to buy meat buns, but meat buns are not as delicious as these at the moment!

"Let me try a piece," Passerby A couldn't help but come over when he saw the middle-aged man eating so happily.

"Let me have a taste too!" Passerby B was not willing to be outdone.

"Give me a piece!" Passerby Ding also shouted.

……

For a moment, the crowd surged and asked to taste it.

"Okay, okay, there are no more samples for today! Come back tomorrow!" Cheng Yiyu couldn't help but sigh in his heart as he looked at the samples that were distributed in an instant.

He was deeply impressed by his sister's foresight, as she had already expected this to happen.

"Why is it so little? You are so stingy!" An old lady felt unsatisfied after eating one piece, so she sneaked behind the crowd and prepared to take another piece to try.

"Grandma, your face is thicker than the city wall! One piece is not enough, and you want another one? Our Xiaoou's face is not as big as yours!" Cheng Xiaoba looked at the old lady and couldn't help but sneer.

"Yes, yes, shameless!" Xiao Ou also echoed in a clear and loud voice.

Wait, what does Cheng Xiaoba mean by this? Does he mean that he is very thick-skinned?

"How can you talk like that, kid? This is my first time queuing up to try the food!" When the old lady heard this, she became furious and immediately jumped up to retort.

"Oh, sister, I'm so sorry! Children are ignorant, and this little bird is also ignorant. You are a magnanimous person, please don't bother with them!" Upon seeing this, Old Mrs. Cheng quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.

Old Mrs. Cheng never tolerates people who like to take advantage of others.

"Sister, how many do you want? I'll get them for you!" Old Mrs. Cheng took the tongs and pretended to help her pack the corn cakes.

"Is it free?" the old lady asked.

"Grandma, I think the eggs in your basket are pretty good. Give me two for free!" Cheng Yu poked his head out from behind Grandma Cheng and pointed at her basket.

"Who are you? I'm giving it to you for free! How dare you be so shameless!" the old lady said angrily.

"Yes, who are you? Why should I give you my corn cake for free?" Old Mrs. Cheng also smiled and continued her words.

Everyone burst into laughter after hearing this. Whose mother is this? She is really good at getting something for nothing!

"Old lady, give me four corn cakes!"

"I want six, ma'am."

"Ma'am, I want four!"

……

"Grandma, give me ten corn cakes and ten bowls of cold noodles!" Finally it was Liuzi's turn. He handed one hundred and twenty coins to Grandma Cheng with a smile.

"Oh, it's Liuzi. Are you going back to the escort agency?" Old Mrs. Cheng immediately laughed and asked.

"Yes, we just came back from escorting the caravan yesterday and we were craving for your cold noodles! How is my junior brother recovering?" Liuzi asked with a smile.

Last night, the junior sister was too stingy. They ate five corn cakes, but she refused to give them any more!

He happened to be out buying cold noodles today, so he bought some extra and took it back to eat his fill.

"The external injuries have recovered. Doctor Bai said that the internal injuries need to be treated well. So let him rest at home for a while!" Old Mrs. Cheng did not stop her hands and answered Liuzi's words with a smile.

Sun Wu accepted two disciples, one was Liuzi and the other was Cheng Lixiao. Liuzi was Cheng Lixiao's senior brother.

"Waiter, pack two more corn cakes for your sixth brother, and then take a basket to pack twenty for your uncle Sun. Huaxiang, make a few more bowls of cold noodles for Mr. Sun and the others." Old Mrs. Cheng let her grandson and daughter-in-law do it while she started to take care of other people.

"Liuzi, you are back from robbery!"

When Liuzi returned to the escort agency with large and small bags, he was laughed at by his fellow apprentices.

"Oh, don't mention it. My junior brother's grandmother sells corn cakes in the market over there. She asked me to bring twenty back for Master!" Liuzi was so proud holding the corn cakes.

"What? Corn cake? Where is it?" The young lady also gave them one yesterday, and they haven't eaten enough yet!

"Go straight over there, turn left, and then go into the vegetable market, next to the Jiang family's vegetable shop!" As soon as Liuzi finished speaking, a large group of people ran out of the escort agency.

"What's going on?" As soon as Sun Wu entered the escort agency, he saw a large group of escorts running out like a group of hungry wolves.

"Let's go grab some corn cake!" Liuzi put things on the table, took out a corn cake and started eating it with relish.

"Oh, why didn't you say so earlier!" Sun Wu didn't enjoy the meal enough. His money-loving daughter saw that he had eaten six and refused to give him any more.

Sun Wu immediately turned around and wanted to run, but was stopped by Liuzi.

"Master, yours is here! There's also cold noodles! Grandma Cheng gave it to you!" Seeing that his master was a little angry, Liuzi immediately handed over the things that Grandma Cheng prepared for Sun Wu.

Sun Wu took it and opened the basket, and immediately started to eat with relish. He felt so satisfied! He touched his stomach. Did he... did he gain weight?

Ever since Zheng Rong moved into Cheng's house, Sun Xiaoxiao would go there every other day and bring them delicious food. These extra meals every other day...

"Grandma, I want ten corn cakes!"

"Auntie, give me twenty corn cakes!"

"I want ten corn cakes too."

……

The Cheng family was also bustling with activity. All the bodyguards from the Sun family had come, and there were at least ten of them. The young and muscular men stood there obediently, waiting for Cheng Yiyu and his brother to pack corn cakes for them. The sight of them made Old Lady Cheng very happy.

"Grandma, give each of these brothers one more." Cheng Yu thought that this was the bodyguard from the same escort agency as her eldest brother, so she was happy to give him a good deal.

"Okay, Xiao Er, Xiao Si, brothers, give each of you an extra corn cake!" said Old Lady Cheng.

The family of Cheng Dalang was very generous and gave them one extra piece for each of them, seven cents each!

You have to be nicer to Cheng Lixiao in the future!

"I'm sorry, everyone. We're out of corn cakes. If you want to eat, please come back tomorrow!" Cheng Yiyu said loudly.

"Alas, you can only come earlier tomorrow! I found out too late!" a passerby said regretfully.

"Yeah, yeah! Come early tomorrow!"

This corn cake is in short supply!

The corn cakes in the five steamers were quickly snatched up by everyone, but luckily Cheng Yu secretly kept eight.

That was for her aunt and her grandmother. Then she quietly entered the Jiang family's vegetable shop and handed the corn cake to Jiang Wuyou.

"Aunt, there are four in your family and four in my great-aunt's family!" said Cheng Yu.

The cold noodles had not been sold out yet, so they couldn't go to their aunt's house, so their aunt had to take the trouble to deliver them there.

"Okay, Mom, come here. Nannan gave this to you. Eat it quickly. I'll take it to my mom and the others!" After Jiang Wuyou distributed the corn cakes to his mother-in-law and the others, he took one for himself and ate it while walking until he arrived at his mother's house.

After the cold noodles were sold out, the Cheng family packed up, went to the escort agency to call Zheng Rong, and then returned home.

As soon as they entered the Cheng family, they heard Old Man Cheng shouting, "Catch the thief! Catch the thief!"
