The little cook in the book has fallen asleep

The next day, Zhao Yunniang got up and carefully picked out a goose yellow dress for her daughter so that she could attend Lord Wei's lotus viewing banquet, intending to dress up Cheng Yu.

The skirt was made by Lin Paner. It is very delicately made. A pink ribbon is sewn on the collar and a layer of pink is added on the hem. It looks very beautiful with layers of pattern.

There is a dark green belt in the middle. There are no extra accessories, but it is eye-catching.

"Your third aunt is very thoughtful. This skirt was designed by her herself. It is so beautiful. I love it very much!" said Zhao Yunniang.

Lin Paner's craftsmanship is really good. This skirt is definitely unique when worn out, and when worn on Nannan, it just shows all her advantages.

"Mom, change it later. I still have to go make some pastries!" Cheng Yu had gotten up a long time ago and was about to go out, but Zhao Yun's mother pulled her and wanted to change her clothes.

"Okay, I'll ask your cousin to change it for you later. Your aunt and I have to go to the stall!" Zhao Yunniang felt a little regretful that she couldn't help Cheng Yu dress up personally!

"Okay, don't worry, Mom. I'll ask Sister Xiaolan to braid my hair into a nice braid with the hair ornament you chose!" Cheng Yu responded with a smile, then hurriedly ran to the kitchen.

Cheng Yu planned to make snow skin mooncakes. She had asked Xiao Ou to take out all the ingredients and put them in the kitchen last night. At this moment, Cheng Lixiao and his three brothers were making a fire in the kitchen.

Old Mrs. Cheng planned to have breakfast before going out to do her chores today. Since everyone in the family was busy today and no one was making breakfast, she was busy in the kitchen at the moment.

Cheng Yu took out the ingredients for making snow skin mooncakes and mixed glutinous rice flour, sticky rice flour, corn starch and powdered sugar evenly.

Add milk and stir evenly with chopsticks (manual egg beater).

(She secretly took the milk out from the space and poured it into the bamboo cup)

Add corn oil or vegetable oil and continue to stir evenly, then pour the mixed batter into a steaming porcelain basin, occupying Mrs. Cheng’s steamer, and steam it over high heat for 25 minutes until fully cooked.

(Cheng Yu has taken the powerful pills)

While steaming the snow skin mooncakes, she took out the red beans that she had cooked yesterday and gave them to her brothers to pound in the stone mortar.

After pounding, roll the bean paste into small pieces and set aside.

Taking this opportunity, Cheng Yu smuggled some models out of the space. These were bought for her by her master when she was studying Chinese dim sum. They came in all kinds of shapes.

After Mrs. Cheng took out the steamed pastry skin, Cheng Yu put it aside to cool, and then kneaded it into a smooth dough.

Divide the dough into small pieces, wrap them with the prepared red bean paste, and then put them into the prepared molds to press out the shapes.

Cheng Yu made more than 40 pieces, but only took 30 away, leaving the rest for Old Lady Cheng and the rest of the family. There were food boxes on Zheng Rong's carriage, which were fully filled with two boxes.

After Xiaolan changed clothes for Zheng Rong and Cheng Yu, the three brothers Cheng Lixiao left in Zheng Rong's carriage.

Originally, Cheng Liyao and his friends were embarrassed to sit in, after all, boys and girls are not allowed to sit in the same seats as those who are eight years old.

But the driver's seat could only seat two people, Zheng Rong didn't have a driver, and it was impossible for them to drive an ox cart to the banquet, so they had to get into the Zheng family's carriage.

Old Lady Cheng watched the four of them squeeze into the Zheng family's carriage and realized that this was somewhat impolite, so she asked Cheng Lixiao and the others to buy a carriage when they entered the city.

In order to avoid being seen by outsiders and damaging the reputation of Zheng's cousin, Cheng Yiyu and the others went back to the house and packed up the unused money that his sister had given him last time, planning to buy a carriage and give it to Cheng Yu.

As soon as the four brothers of the Cheng family entered the city, they went straight to the livestock market. Following Zheng Rong's suggestion, they bought a strong horse and a carriage, spending a total of thirty-five taels of silver, and then went to the house of Wei County Magistrate.

Cheng Yiyu was good at driving a carriage, so he stayed in Zheng Rong's carriage and helped the three girls drive the horses. After all, he was Cheng Yu's biological brother, so even if someone gossiped about him, it wouldn't be directed at him.

When the seven of them arrived at Magistrate Wei's house, many people had already arrived. After Cheng Yiyu handed in the visiting card, he was led in by the doorman.

"Hey, where did you come from, poor scholar? Go over there, you're blocking our way!" A young man and a young woman stood behind the two of them and said sarcastically.

"We have a visiting card, why can't we come?" Cheng Liyao was relatively young and couldn't hold his temper, so he replied immediately.

"You poor scholars are here just to curry favor with the rich and powerful. Don't worry, all the noble ladies in Bai Ze County will look down on you!" said the young man arrogantly.

Looking at their attire, except for the three women whose clothes were made of better fabrics, the other men were all wearing coarse linen clothes, looking very poor.

That girl must be the daughter of a rich family who was harmed by the storybook again!

"Oh, really? A hero is not judged by his origin. How do you know that we are people who try to curry favor with the rich and powerful? Who are you to dare to speak so arrogantly?!" Cheng Zhiwen asked.

"I am the cousin of this family. A hero does not care about his origin. A poor man is just a poor man!" The young man continued to speak wildly!

"Oh, so you, the nephew of a concubine, dare to call yourself the cousin of the county magistrate? The Lin family is so powerful!" Sun Xiaoxiao mocked while standing behind the young man.

"Miss Sun, you...you...disturb you!" The young man was so frightened that he stuttered and ran away pulling his sister.

"Sister Sun, hug me!" Cheng Yu ran to Sun Xiaoxiao's feet and asked for a hug.

Just like that, Sun Xiaoxiao led the Cheng family into Magistrate Wei's yard, and all eyes fell on the four brothers.

"Cheng Jieyuan, Cheng Juren, I'm sorry for not welcoming you four to our place!" County Magistrate Wei smiled and walked quickly towards Cheng Lixiao and the others, followed by a few other people, including the young man who had just spoken rudely.

"No, no, we poor people can't afford it!" Cheng Liyao got angry when he saw the young man, and his words were full of sarcasm.

"Little Four, don't be rude!" Cheng Lixiao bowed respectfully to County Magistrate Wei and said, "Thank you, Lord Wei, for inviting the four of us brothers to come. However, our status is too low, so we will leave first! Little Three, give the gift that Nannan prepared to County Magistrate Wei, and let's go."

"This...is there any misunderstanding?" County Magistrate Wei did not dare to let the four people leave, and immediately stopped them and said.

He handed four visiting cards to the Cheng brothers. Seeing that they came with their sister and brought gifts, it showed that they also wanted to make friends.

"It's just a pot of rotten flowers, how dare you show it off!" said the young man, Lin Jiang.

"Shut up, you have no eyes, that's ginseng!" County Magistrate Wei was no stranger to knowledge. He could tell at a glance that the ginseng was definitely fifty years old.

"Who are you? What are you doing following me?" County Magistrate Wei asked.

It was the first time that Lin Jiang appeared in front of County Magistrate Wei, and there was nothing outstanding about him, so no matter how many times Lin Wei (Lin Jiang and Lin Xin's aunt) introduced him, no one remembered him.

"Uncle, I am Lin Jiang, the nephew of Fourth Aunt Lin Wei!" Lin Jiang said to County Magistrate Wei in a flattering manner.

"Pa!" "How dare you call me uncle? Kick out these Lin family members! And send Fourth Aunt back to the farm!" County Magistrate Wei had been too busy recently and had completely forgotten that there were still members of the Lin family in the backyard.

"I'm really sorry, you four young friends, for making you suffer!" Magistrate Wei said with a smile.

Just kidding, the 15-year-old Jieyuan and Juren, they will definitely go further than him in the future, and may even be his superiors!

"Your Excellency is joking. It is our little Fourth who is too impulsive!" Cheng Lixiao said to County Magistrate Wei with a smile.

"Hey? Miss Zheng? What's this?" County Magistrate Wei had seen Lord Zheng bring this young lady to the provincial capital, so he had some impression of her.

"Hello, Lord Wei. I am Cheng Yiyu's cousin. I am here to accompany my daughter!" After saying that, she and Cheng Yu went to the women's seat.

When Cheng Yu and the others came in, they attracted everyone's attention. Cheng Yu was not afraid, and immediately walked towards Madam Wei with Sun Xiaoxiao. The three of them saluted to Madam Wei.

"Madam, this lotus is so beautiful!" Zheng Rong said with a smile as she looked at the twin lotus flowers in front of her.

The banquet was set up beside the pond, and the sight of the twin lotus flowers swaying in the wind was mesmerizing.

"Country bumpkin! You've never seen the world!" A discordant voice came, immediately attracting the attention of people around.

"My lady, people cannot be divided into different classes. Everyone likes beautiful things.

This lotus has no vines or branches, it grows out of the mud but remains unstained, everyone likes it! "Zheng Rong was born in a wealthy family, and her articles were very casual. This was the first time she had seen an idiot like Lin Jing.

"You! You're just a lotus!" Lin Jing, the woman who had a conflict with them at the door, suddenly stood up and pointed at them.

"Aunt, I made some fruit. Can I invite you to eat it?" Cheng Yu ignored Lin Jing's actions and immediately asked Xiaolan to bring up the food box.

"Of course. Auntie is very curious. Can you bring it up for me to see?" Mrs. Wei was not annoyed when being called auntie. She asked with a smile.

"Come, come, you three sit here with your aunt, and let your maid go down and have a rest!" Mrs. Wei made way for Lin Jing and let her go downstairs, making room for Sun Xiaoxiao and the others, and then the maid immediately changed the teacups for new ones.

After Xiaolan brought up the food box, she was taken away by Mrs. Wei's maid to rest.

"This is called snowy mooncakes. Try it and see how it tastes!" Cheng Yu opened the food box and took out plate after plate of snowy mooncakes.

Some of the snow skin mooncakes are in the shape of flowers, and some are in the shape of animals. They are lifelike and look beautiful.

“Oh, I can’t bear to eat it!” Madam Wei asked the maid to distribute it to everyone. Some got rabbits, some got flowers,... everyone who got it couldn’t let it go.

"Hmm, delicious. This ice skin fruit is so delicious. Everyone should try it!" Mrs. Wei took a sip. The taste was unique and tempting.

"Qiuyue, send the remaining box to the master! Let them have a taste too." Mrs. Wei instructed.

"Here," a maid came up immediately and took the food box away.

"That's right, Miss Sun. I heard that you are getting engaged?" a lady asked curiously.

Although the Sun family is just an escort agency, they have a great background because they have the entire Cao Gang as their backing.

"Yes, this is my future sister-in-law, and this is the niece of my future second aunt from my husband's family!" Sun Xiaoxiao introduced the two people around her generously.

"Oh, Miss Sun, what family did you marry into?" a woman asked bluntly.

Their family was also well-known as a wealthy family in the local area, but when she asked the matchmaker to propose marriage, the Sun family actually looked down on her son.

"Oh, there's nothing special about it. It's just that one of my three younger brothers won the top prize in the imperial examination, one won the first prize in the imperial examination, and two won the second prize in the imperial examination. Moreover, my future husband is my senior brother. He is a martial arts expert and once risked his life to save me." After Sun Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she raised her teacup and took a sip of tea.

Then he slowly put down the cup, his eyes full of complacency and pride.

"What! An old man?" The lady was so surprised that she almost jumped up, and the other ladies also showed expressions that said you are stupid.

They all knew that the top three places were the highest honor in the imperial examination. The Cheng family had three top three places, and they were all teenagers, so the eldest son of the Cheng family must not be very old either!

For a moment, the whole hall fell silent. Everyone looked at each other and sighed in their hearts: No wonder the Sun family looks down on ordinary rich young men like them!

"What old men? They are the three members of the Cheng family. The oldest is fifteen and the youngest is thirteen!" Mrs. Wei explained cheerfully.

Everyone laughed when they heard this: "Hahaha, yes, that's a good story!"

At this time, a noble lady stared at the clothes on Cheng Yu and praised her endlessly: "Wow, that girl's clothes are so beautiful! Xiaoxiao, did you help buy them?"

Cheng Yu shook his head and said clearly: "No, it was my third aunt who did it!"

Everyone was amazed after hearing this and praised: "Oh, the craftsmanship is really exquisite!", "Yes, this dress is so beautiful!", "It's so beautiful, I really want to buy it!"
