The little cook in the book has fallen asleep

Cheng Tiezi's incident sounded a wake-up call to the Cheng family. They planned to collect all the corn near Cheng Tiezi's house, collect some every day, make corn cakes for themselves or sell at stalls.

Cheng Tiezi's family is so disgusting. They are waiting for the corn and potatoes to mature every day, and then they will move out as soon as the corn and potatoes are harvested!

"Are Cheng Jieyuan and Cheng Juren at home?" There was a knock on the door.

Cheng Xiaoba ran to the door, opened it, and looked at the man dressed as a servant in front of him: "Hello, who are you looking for?"

"Hello, young master, I'm looking for Cheng Jieyuan and Cheng Juren!" the servant said politely. Before leaving, the housekeeper repeatedly warned him not to offend the Cheng family!

"There is no Cheng Jieyuan or Cheng Juren in our family, you have found the wrong person!" Cheng Xiaoba didn't know the titles of Ersansi, so after thinking for a while, he couldn't think of anyone with these two names in his family.

"Hey, hey, hey, young master, don't close the door, I'm looking for Cheng Zhiwen!" The doorman thought for a long time and could only think of Cheng Jieyuan's name.

"Oh, looking for Third Brother! Third Brother, Third Brother, someone is looking for you!" Cheng Xiaoba shouted towards the yard like a loud speaker.

Cheng Zhiwen was originally studying with his two brothers in the room. When he heard Cheng Xiaoba's voice, he immediately put on his coat and came out. Cheng Yiyu and Cheng Liyao also followed him out.

"Hello, Cheng Jieyuan, Cheng Juren, I am the county magistrate's doorman. I am here on the orders of my master to deliver the lotus appreciation stickers for tomorrow to you and the two Juren.

I invite you to bring your brothers and sisters to the back of the county government office to enjoy the lotus and drink wine together." The servant said clearly.

"Okay, thank your master for me. The three of us brothers will definitely be there on time with our sister." Cheng Zhiwen replied to the servant politely.

Last time, one of the three brothers, Li Yuanhe, was awarded a total of 300 taels by the provincial capital. After Magistrate Hua sent it to them, the old lady let them keep it for themselves, for fear that this situation would occur and they would have no money to entertain.

"Second brother, what gift do you think we should give?" Cheng Liyao asked with a smile.

"I don't know. Let's ask grandma and the others first. We don't have any valuables at home, so it's impossible for them to send cold noodles and corn cakes!" Cheng Yiyu said with a smile.

"Milk! Milk!" Cheng Zhiwen is looking for his grandma all over the world!

"Don't look for her anymore. Grandma and mom have gone to sell corn cakes!" Cheng Lixiao came out of the house. If he hadn't gotten up to practice swordplay so early in the morning, he would have needed to sleep a little longer.

"What about grandpa and dad?" Cheng Liyao asked.

"He went to the fields!" Cheng Lixiao replied. These nerdy brothers had no idea what was happening outside when they were reading. Their grandfather had clearly come to them specially to tell them to take good care of their sister.

"Ah! What about our breakfast?" Cheng Yiyu shouted.

He was a kitchen killer. When he was ten years old, he wanted to boil an egg and flooded the kitchen because he thought eggs were dirty, so he used two full buckets of water to wash the eggs.

When I was twelve, I made fried rice for my younger brothers and burned a hole in the pot; when I was fifteen, I wanted to cook noodles and burned the kitchen...

Due to the dark history, the Cheng family strictly forbade him to go near the kitchen.

"Don't shout, or you'll wake Xiaojiu up. I'll make you suffer!" Cheng Lixiao said.

"Brother, I'm awake!" Cheng Yu leaned against the door and looked at the four big boys who were at a loss.

"Second brother, help me put on my clothes!" Ancient costumes are too troublesome. After so long, she still doesn't know how to wear them. Now that her grandmother is not around, she can only ask her brothers for help!

Although boys and girls should not sit at the same table after the age of eight, Cheng Yiyu is her biological brother, so it should be okay for him to put on her coat.

"Let me do it, let me do it!" Cheng Liyao smiled and wanted to go into the house to dress Xiaojiu, but Cheng Lixiao held his hand.

"Have you become stupid from studying?" Cheng Lixiao tapped his brother's head! Boys and girls sit at different tables when they are eight years old. How will outsiders see his sister if they know about this? He is just his cousin!

"Come here, what should brother's little girl wear today?" Cheng Yiyu glared at Cheng Liyao, then picked up his sister and went into the room with a smile.

"Be normal, brother, you're a little scary!" Cheng Yu looked at his second brother who was fawning in front of him.

"Okay, Nannan, what are you wearing today?" Cheng Yiyu asked again.

"There!" Cheng Yu pointed to the clothes rack and said.

She forgave her brother because he was blind. The clothes her mother had prepared for her last night were hanging on the hanger, and he had the nerve to ask her twice?

Is this second brother really reliable?

"Second Young Master, do you need me?" Xiaolan asked at the door.

Zheng Rong's maid Xiaolan was also very familiar with them. She heard the noise at the door and saw that her mistress was still asleep, so she came out to see if anyone needed help.

"Yes!" Cheng Yu said happily.

"No!" Cheng Yiyu said unhappily!

My sister just doesn’t believe him!

Cheng Yu had no choice but to let Cheng Yiyu give it a try!

As a result, Cheng Yiyu looked at the clothes for a long time, but he couldn't understand how to change his sister. He could only shout outside helplessly: "Xiaolan, you should do it!"

Then he fled in panic and was laughed at by Cheng Lixiao and the others.

This really can't be blamed on Cheng Yiyu, because they wanted their daughter to look beautiful, so Cheng Yu's clothes were made by Li Huaxiang and her three sisters-in-law with all their heart and soul. They do look good, but the styles are a bit complicated.

This also resulted in the clothes being a bit difficult to wear. Even Xiaolan had to try it on several times before she figured it out.

Xiaolan is very deft with her hands. She even braided Cheng Yu's hair into small braids, which are small and cute, making Cheng Yu look even cuter!

After Cheng Yu came out of the room, Cheng Lixiao immediately hugged her and asked, "Sister, what are we going to have for breakfast?"

"Brother, are you crazy? Ask your sister?" Cheng Liyao screamed and screamed, successfully earning a roll of the eyes from Cheng Yu.

"I can't, but you can?" Cheng Yu folded her hands and looked at him with disdain. How could a mere breakfast stump her, the little cook?

"Oh..." Cheng Liyao was shocked when he saw Xiaojiu being carried to the kitchen by his elder brother. Was he sure the food his younger sister cooked was edible?

Cheng Yiyu and Cheng Zhiwen looked at each other and smiled. This little fourth brother probably didn't notice that grandma always said that the family food business was the idea of his sister! Nerd!

"Wait for us, we'll come and help too!" The two ran into the kitchen together.

Xiao Ou also stood on the windowsill of the open window in the kitchen.

"Xiao Ou, give me four preserved eggs and some lean meat!" Cheng Yu looked at the things in the kitchen and decided to make preserved egg and lean meat porridge, then said to Xiao Ou in his mind.

"Okay, sister, I take out the meat every day, and the preserved egg is above the eggs!" Xiao Ou will automatically replenish the stock when he stands there.

"Brothers, peel the eggs!" Cheng Yu took out four preserved eggs and placed them in front of Cheng Yiyu and the others. Cheng Lixiao was helping her chop the lean meat.

As she was washing the rice, she heard Cheng Liyao shouting in a fuss, "The eggs are rotten, we can't use them!"

Then Cheng Yu rolled his eyes at him. This Fourth Brother is really unpleasant today. Give him less porridge later!

Cheng Yiyu and Cheng Zhiwen picked up the peeled preserved eggs and smelled them. When there was no odor, they put them on a plate aside and continued peeling them.

所有准备工作都做完以后，程钰就开始熬粥了：皮蛋4个、猪瘦肉300g、大米400、姜丝6g、盐12g、淀粉4g、胡椒粉4g。

Put the rice and preserved eggs into the pot together, then crush the preserved eggs and simmer for half an hour on low heat; add sweet potato starch and 4g of salt to the chopped pork, stir and marinate for later use; after 30 minutes, cut 6g of shredded ginger and pour it into the pot together with the lean meat, continue to simmer for 20 minutes, add pepper powder and sprinkle some chopped green onions when serving.

After the Cheng family came back, the century egg and lean meat porridge was ready. Cheng Yu also steamed a lot of corn cakes and took out some pickles made by his grandmother.

Li Huaxiang and her friends went out early today, so they came back early too. Now the whole family is having breakfast in a lively atmosphere.

When the Cheng family heard that Magistrate Wei had invited Cheng Yiyu and the other two to attend a lotus viewing banquet, they were very happy.

Cheng Yu asked Xiao Ou to smuggle a fifty-year-old ginseng into an empty flowerpot under the eaves, intending for the three of them to take it as gifts.

"Grandma, aunt, and cousin, please don't let my cousins get engaged before the autumn examination!" Zheng Rong said immediately when she thought of what her grandfather mentioned in the letter.

"Why?" Zhao Yunniang asked.

She also knew that there would definitely be someone to see the couple at the banquet that the county magistrate had asked Yu Ge'er and the others to attend. She also said that if the couple was suitable, they could make a decision first.

"Because they still have a long way to go, and they will meet someone more suitable for them in the future!" Zheng Rong was certainly not talking about economic aspects. She was not a person who despised the poor and loved the rich. Her mother was just the daughter of a seventh-rank official.

"My grandfather said that my cousins are scholars and should find someone who understands them, because the higher they stand, the lonelier they will be!" Zheng Rong said.

My grandfather said that people are not divided into different classes, and it depends on what kind of person you need and what kind of person is suitable for you!

What’s more, my cousins are still young. If they fall in love now, it will affect their later exams. Men should build their careers before starting a family, so that they will be more responsible!

"Yes, this will affect their exams. So tomorrow, waiter, you stay away from those noble ladies!" Old Mrs. Cheng said after thinking for a while.

That's right, let the grandchildren find it themselves. Otherwise, if they act as matchmakers and they end up with a couple that is resentful of each other, it will harm both the girl and the grandchildren.

"Okay, grandma, I'm going to win fame for my sister!" Cheng Yiyu said and laughed.

The Cheng family also started laughing.

"Cousin, would you like to go with us tomorrow? I heard that Sister Sun is going too!" Cheng Zhiwen asked.

"Then I'll go too, and take Nannan with me!" Zheng Rong said.

"Then I'll ask grandma to make some snacks?" Cheng Yu said to Zheng Rong while drinking porridge.

"Okay, it must be delicious!" Zheng Rong was full of anticipation.

"Grandma, eat quickly. After you finish, help me make some snacks. Brother, the gifts you want to give are in the flowerpots in the backyard!" Cheng Yu said while eating corn cakes.

After breakfast, the Cheng family started to get busy again. The rice was about to start pollination, so they had to walk around. If pollination was not good, they had to intervene manually, otherwise it would be too late to extract the rice.

When Cheng Lixiao and the others saw the ginseng in the flowerpot, they were shocked. How many ginseng plants did his sister still have?

Of course, Cheng Yu didn't expect that tomorrow's lotus viewing banquet would allow her to find business opportunities!
