The little cook in the book has fallen asleep

Spring came quietly, and after the whole family worked together, the Cheng family finally sowed all the rice seeds in the nursery fields before the first spring rain.

The Cheng family also plowed all the paddy fields two or three times and reinforced the ridges to store water and cultivate the fields. (The Cheng family grows rice here.)

"It's great. Life is so comfortable now." Old Master Cheng sighed as he looked at the drizzle outside the house.

This is the first spring rain this year, and it has been raining for four days today. This spring rain is as precious as oil. The rain this year is really good, and the harvest will definitely be good.

Look at Cheng Xiaoba playing with cats and dogs in the main room. He is so old that even dogs hate him. He has a big head! Look at the little girl who is practicing walking with the help of the crib. She is so cute no matter how you look at her.

The old man felt so satisfied when he saw Cheng Xiaoer standing at the table at the entrance of the main hall and teaching his younger brothers. Cheng Xiaowu, Cheng Xiaoliu and Cheng Xiaoqi were huddled in front of a book and learning to read with their second brother. Cheng Xiaosan and Cheng Xiaosi were sitting nearby and reading and practicing calligraphy.

In the kitchen, old lady Cheng was frying meatballs and fried meat with her three daughters-in-law. These were the minced meat and pork belly that Cheng Yu took out from the space.

Normally, the Cheng family would not dare to fry it so blatantly. Let alone the meat, just look at this huge pot of oil. In this era of food shortage, if anyone saw it, it would bring disaster to the family.

In other words, they only dare to take it out when it rains, because the rain forms an isolation circle and dilutes the aroma of the meat.

Otherwise, with the overbearing taste of these meatballs and fried meat, in this age of food shortage, I'm afraid that everyone in the village would know how well the Cheng family lives, and that would arouse envy and bring disaster.

"Huaxiang, Yunniang, Pan'er, ask the eldest brother and others to send some to your parents' home in the next village, and add some dishes for them!" Old Mrs. Cheng said to her three daughters-in-law, then took out three large bowls and divided the meat into three portions of similar size.

Cheng Yu wanted to make sure everyone had a good meal during the spring ploughing season, so he took out a lot of meat and fried a large pot of fried meat. I'm afraid there was more than 20 kilograms of meat, plus a large pot of meatballs...

The meatballs and fried meat will not go bad if soaked in lard. When everyone is busy planting rice, you can just take them out of the oil, put them in a pot, cook them, add some vegetables and you can eat them. It is convenient and nutritious.

"Okay, thank you, Mom!" Li Huaxiang and Zhao Yunniang responded happily.

When the Cheng family members were young, there were too many people and not enough food. It was the Li and Zhao families who provided them with food rations to help them, so they were able to survive.

"Mom, cook my share for Nannan and don't give it to those heartless people in the Lin family." Lin Pan'er said while looking at the meat in the large bowl.

The situation of the Lin family is different from that of the two sisters-in-law. The blood-sucking worms in the Lin family will suck blood like leeches once they are targeted by the Lin family, so Lin Pan'er decided not to send her back.

Old Mrs. Cheng looked at Lin Pan'er. Her in-laws really pissed her off! She shook her head and said nothing. The Lin family would definitely regret it in the future.

"Mom, this little girl is always taking things from outside. Will it be harmful to her health? Or did she exchange things for something?" Li Huaxiang, as the eldest aunt, asked worriedly when she saw the old man's meat. Of course, she was very happy to be able to eat meat.

But she was also worried that Cheng Yu would always take things out, which would cause harm to her, especially the meat that always appeared out of nowhere in the kitchen and the endless refined grains and white flour.

"Yes, yes, mother, with so much meat and rice and flour, is it that little girl is using her lifespan? Or her luck?" Lin Pan'er watched the old lady take out some more flour and rice, probably intending to send them to her mother's home.

Ever since Lin Pan'er guessed that the extra things in the kitchen were taken out by Cheng Yu, she did not suspect that her niece was a monster or something. Instead, she was worried that always giving things to them would damage Cheng Yu's life or luck.

Although Lin Paner knew that her son's health had improved since Cheng Yu was born, which was good for her son, but a son was not as important as a daughter!

(Cheng Xiaoba: Mom, you are biased...

Lin Paner: Get lost...

Cheng Xiaoba: Okay…)

As soon as Lin Pan'er said this, she was immediately patted on the head by Old Lady Cheng. Seeing her third daughter-in-law looking at her with clear and aggrieved eyes, Old Lady Lin coughed embarrassedly.

"Little Nannan must have paid a price, although it's not as serious as you say. You must treat Little Nannan well in the future. She has made our lives better!"

Old Mrs. Cheng had confirmed with Cheng Yu again and again, and knew that this would not cause any harm to Cheng Yu, so she let her continue to get things outside without any worries.

Cheng Yu also knew that she might have overdrawn on the full moon day, so she had no energy in the days after the full moon and just wanted to sleep. Now Cheng Yu does things within her ability and knows when to take things out.

Old Madam Cheng knows that a family must know how to give and be grateful, so now she must speak seriously, after all, a little kindness will be resented. Only when the first and third wives understand the efforts of the second wife, the Cheng family will be harmonious.

"It's all our fault for being useless. We have to let such a young girl worry about the family. We will definitely treat her well in the future." Li Huaxiang said self-reproachfully.

"My sister-in-law is right. From now on, Nannan is my biological daughter." Lin Pan'er patted her chest hard with such great force that it hurt everyone who saw it.

"Actually..." Zhao Yunniang wanted to say something, but her mother-in-law pulled her sleeve, so she had to swallow the words.

Behind the house:

The three Cheng Jin brothers are working hard to till the vegetable patch in the backyard. They want to take advantage of the rainy days to tidy up the backyard, especially this first spring rain is particularly important.

After all, the ancients said: Spring rain is as precious as oil!

"Grandpa, where are Dad and the others?" After walking around a few times with the help of the crib, Cheng Yu looked at Grandpa Cheng curiously. He looked at Grandpa Cheng with his round eyes and asked the old man in his heart.

Hearing the soft and sweet voice of his little girl, Grandpa Cheng said to little Cheng Yu with a smile: "Your daddy and the others are turning the soil in the backyard. Does your daughter miss you?" Looking at the little granddaughter babbling in front of him with her chubby smiling face, Grandpa Cheng's heart melted.

"Grandpa, Nannan misses daddy, we need to go find them!" Cheng Yu shamelessly pretended to be cute. It was shameful but it worked.

(The Cheng family boys who couldn’t hear Cheng Yu’s inner voice looked curiously at their sister dancing and babbling with their grandfather. They laughed as they watched. Their sister was negotiating with their grandfather like a little general.)

"Nannan, it's not that grandpa doesn't want to take you, but your grandma doesn't want to let you go." After saying this, Grandpa Cheng spread his hands, indicating that he could do nothing about it.

"Good grandpa, Nannan loves you the most. We won't tell grandma. Just take me to see daddy and uncle. You are the best grandpa in the world."

Grandpa Cheng listened with satisfaction to his little granddaughter acting coquettishly to him. Seeing Cheng Xiaoba walking towards them, Grandpa Cheng immediately picked up Cheng Yu and said to Cheng Xiaoer, "My sister wants to go to the toilet. I will take her to the toilet. You guys take care of Xiaoba."

If Cheng Xiaoba, the little ancestor, goes with them, the whole family will be alarmed.

After Mr. Cheng left the main hall, he took Cheng Yu to the utility room, got a straw raincoat, and went into the backyard.

Cheng Xiaoba looked at his brothers who were reciting in unison in front of him, then looked at his grandmother and mother who were laughing and talking in the kitchen... and thought of his grandfather who was taking his sister to the backyard alone.

Grandpa is partial, the backyard, right? He knows the place, if you don't take him, he will go there by himself!

The laughter in the kitchen and the sound of reading aloud here drowned out Cheng Xiaoba's heavy footsteps.

After Cheng Xiaoba entered the utility room, he put on a straw hat contentedly and followed Grandpa Cheng into the backyard.

In the backyard, after Mr. Cheng brought Cheng Yu in, several men surrounded them.

"Dad, aren't you afraid that my mother will punish you?" Cheng Jin pointed at Cheng Yu, who was hiding in a straw raincoat with only his head sticking out and was looking at them with a pair of big round eyes.

This is his mother's treasure, and his father is so brave that he actually stole her away.

"Have you seen Nannan in the backyard? No! I just brought her to the toilet!" Old Master Cheng said righteously. If he didn't tell his sons, the old woman would not know that he brought Nannan out.

The four father and sons looked at each other and finally confirmed that he/they had not seen his/her son/father.

"Yes, yes." Cheng Yu looked at the three-acre land in the backyard and was shamefully moved.

Cheng Yu looked at the four men, then immediately stretched out his chubby little hand from his straw raincoat, pointed at the ridge in front of him, and asked the four men for land.

There is no other way. There are too many members of the Cheng family. There are seven older brothers to support. The second, third and fourth are still attending private schools, and the fourth, fifth and sixth will be able to enter school soon.

The food produced at home can only ensure that the Cheng family will not starve to death, so Cheng Yu plans to let the Cheng family grow something different, such as corn, sweet potatoes, and various condiments. Only by operating them exclusively can they make a lot of money.

"Xiao Ou, how much food and points do you have in the space now?" Cheng Yu asked Xiao Ou while the father and son of the Cheng family were discussing which piece of land to give her.

"Sister, there should be 40 dan of grain, and we have harvested several crops of rice and peppers.

The points are those you originally redeemed. After deducting the 60,000 points you used to buy grain seeds and upgrade, the 10,000 points you used to buy grain seeds, and the 1,000 points you used to buy vomiting pills, you now have more than 7,000 points.

And we have a lot of things in our space, such as peppers and Sichuan peppers, which are now filling up the warehouse..." Xiao Ou happily reported the space data.

Of course, the voice of the sun parakeet is really unpleasant, quacking, like a duck with its neck pinched.

"Xiao Ou, the next batch of chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns can be exchanged directly for points. Now can you help me see how many points are needed to exchange for corn seeds, potato seeds and sweet potato seeds respectively?" Cheng Yu said to Xiao Ou immediately when he saw that he had quite a lot of points.

"Sister, corn seeds require 550 points per kilogram, potato seeds require 600 points per kilogram, and sweet potato vines only require 50 points!" Xiao Ou called up the panel and immediately reported the data to Cheng Yu.

"Huh? Why is there such a big difference?" Cheng Yu asked immediately when he saw the difference between sweet potato vines and corn potatoes.

"Sister, let me tell you, this dynasty is different from where we were before. Sweet potato vines were introduced from outside the country a year ago by an official named Zheng. Although they have not been popularized here, they are available in this era and are therefore cheap... Let me tell you, this official named Zheng climbed to his current position as a bastard..." Xiao Ou excitedly circled around, quacking like three thousand ducks circling around Cheng Yu.

"Xiao Ou, give me one kilogram of corn seeds, one kilogram of potato seeds, and two kilograms of sweet potato vines! If you have any old corn that has not yet had the kernels picked, give me one as well." Cheng Yu specifically asked for an old corn.

Corn seeds and potato seeds can be placed in the warehouse first and taken out at a suitable opportunity. When the time comes, let the Cheng family go up the mountain to pick up the old corn and potatoes, and the seeds can be presented to everyone openly.

The sweet potato vines are planted here. I can teach my grandma how to make dried sweet potatoes. Although the steps are a bit complicated, the cost is not high and it is pretty good.

"Sister, okay, let me tell you about Lord Zheng..." After being interrupted by Cheng Yu, it always wanted to continue popularizing science to Cheng Yu. After all, this person is related to the Zhao family (Cheng Yu's maternal family).

"Xiao Ou, are there any pills or potions in this space that can make the sound better?" Cheng Yu asked with a smile.

"We have potion, sister. Do you want to buy it?" Xiao Ou answered innocently.

"Xiao Ou, I'm treating you, drink as much as you want, and use my points as you like!" Cheng Yu said generously.

"Ah, sister, you actually despise me! I will never talk to you again!" Then she flapped her wings hard, and no matter how Cheng Yu called her, she didn't respond.

Cheng Yu spread his hands and said, oh, I got angry.

Here, the four Cheng family members, father and son, looked at the small piece of land that Cheng Yu pointed out, made some plans, and thought that the vegetables produced by the remaining land should be enough for their family to eat, so they agreed to Cheng Yu's request.

Grandpa Cheng and Cheng Shang are very confident in their granddaughter/daughter. They believe Cheng Yu will definitely make a big move, and it will be a surprise for them, so they support her with all their heart.

Cheng Jin and Cheng Tian calculated the vegetables that could be produced from the remaining land. Even if the land that Cheng Yu wanted did not produce anything, it would be enough for the family to eat. As long as Cheng Yu was happy, it would be worth it more than anything else.

"Ground! Ground! Hollow!" Cheng Yu pointed happily at the patch of ground in front of him, then opened his chubby arms and gradually closed them, making the four Cheng family members, father and son, laugh.

(See, being cute is shameful, but it works!)

"Xiaojiu, did you want the land or your brother?" Grandpa Cheng looked at his adorable granddaughter and teased her intentionally.

"Ground, wow, ground! Bad!" Cheng Yu added all the words in his mind, "I want the ground, the ground is mine! Grandpa is bad, I don't want to play with grandpa anymore!" Then he immediately moved around in Grandpa Cheng's arms, trying to get down.

As soon as these words came out, the old man's expression could no longer be held, and he immediately flattered Cheng Yu: "Yours, yours, you three remember to help Nannan turn over this land!" Then he found that Cheng Yu stopped twisting, and hugged her contentedly.

The three brothers of the Cheng family: It’s too shameful to watch!

"I want land too! I want my younger brother!" A childish voice came from behind everyone. The father and son turned their heads stiffly. It's all over, the little ancestor is here!

Cheng Xiaoba was seen holding his straw hat with one hand, jumping around in the water pit beside the vegetable patch. The muddy water got all over his body, and some of it flew onto his face. He then wiped it randomly, and voilà, a little cat was born.

Cheng Tian looked at his son, his eyes twitching. Just as he was about to go forward and pick him up, he saw his son jumping up again.

The three brothers of the Cheng family were glad that they drained the water from the small pond because they thought it was dirty, otherwise the consequences would be...

"Dad, I want the land and my brother!" Cheng Xiaoba's loud voice shouting for his brother made Cheng Tian's head hurt, especially when he thought of the group of boys in the room, his head hurt even more.

"Xiao Ba, what do you want the land for?" Cheng Jin asked cheerfully as he looked at the lively and cute little clay figurine.

"Growing crops..." Cheng Xiaoba said with his chest puffed out proudly. He had seen his mother grow crops. With a wave of her hand...

"Xiao Ba, do you know when to plant crops?" Cheng Shang asked happily again.

"I know, plant it in spring!" Cheng Xiaoba's arrogant look made everyone laugh again.

"Then do you know what season it is now?" Cheng Tian looked at his son and immediately teased.

"Summer!" Cheng Xiaoba said it with certainty, which made everyone even happier.

Cheng Xiaoba jumped up and down, and the mud and water splashed everywhere!

"Since we can't grow crops now, what do you want to do with the land?" Cheng Tian took the opportunity to ask his son.

"Plant in autumn!" Cheng Xiaoba had already read the reply randomly, leaving only mud and water splashing everywhere.

Cheng Xiaoba's inability to distinguish between the four seasons and his self-righteous attitude made the four members of the Cheng family, father and son, laugh.

Seeing Cheng Xiaoba having so much fun, no one interrupted him until...

"Cheng Tielin! Cheng Jin! Cheng Shang! Cheng Tian! Are you guys itching for trouble?" An angry roar came from the gate of the courtyard.

"Oh no, my grandpa is in trouble!"

"Oh no, it's over!"
