Is the beginning of a catastrophe? The little farm cook is raising a family with a full warehouse.

At this time in the dining room, everyone was sitting around the table eating noodles.

This noodle was cooked by Jiang Yu. Although it was cooked with care, it seemed bland compared to the delicacies Cheng Yuntao usually cooked.

Cheng Jingzhu and Shaobing had been out all day and were starving, so they weren't picky. In no time, they gobbled up the whole bowl of noodles.

Cheng Yueli seemed a little absent-minded. She sat at the table, slurping noodles intermittently, but her eyes looked out the door from time to time, as if waiting for something.

Suddenly, she keenly caught the sound of Cheng Yuntao coming back. Her eyes lit up instantly, and she immediately put down the chopsticks in her hand and ran towards the yard like a happy little rabbit.

She was about to throw herself into Cheng Yuntao's arms with joy, but when she was only a few steps away from Cheng Yuntao, she suddenly stopped.

She wrinkled her nose and sniffed the air like a curious puppy. Then she said with a puzzled look on her face, "Sister, why do you smell a bit stinky?"

Cheng Yuntao was stunned when she heard this, then burst out laughing. She had made stinky tofu and snail noodles in one day, and the unique smell clung to her clothes, so it was inevitable that she would smell.

"Xiao Li, I made some special food today, so I smell something. I'll go take a shower first and then come back to accompany you."

Hearing this, Cheng Yueli's eyes rolled around, and she quickly rushed over again, holding Cheng Yuntao's arm, and said coquettishly: "Sister, please wait a moment, the noodles I had tonight are tasteless in my mouth, I want to eat the delicious food you made."

Cheng Yuntao looked at her sister's adorable appearance, her heart full of doting, and said without hesitation: "No problem."

She thought to herself that since she had to take a shower anyway, she might as well make some fried skewers. Even though they would smell like cooking oil, she could just wash them off later. Thinking of this, Cheng Yuntao patted Cheng Yueli's head and said, "Little Li, go eat some noodles first. I'll make you something delicious."

"Great!" Cheng Yueli's eyes lit up immediately. She turned and ran back to the dining room, eager to share the good news with everyone: "Sister said she would make fried skewers for us!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Jingzhu and Shaobing, who were already bulging with food, instantly showed regret on their faces and wailed in unison: "Oh, I should have eaten slower. Now there's no room in our stomachs for all the fried skewers Sister made."

The two of them looked at each other, their faces filled with frustration, as if they had missed out on a great opportunity.

Jiang Yu couldn't help but find them amused. He raised his hand and gently tapped each of them on the forehead, saying half-jokingly, "Could it be that you two were wronged by eating the noodles I made? Just now, when I saw you eating, you were so happy, like little pigs, slurping down the noodles in no time."

Cheng Yueli stood aside, watching her brothers' frustrated looks, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. Her shoulders shrugged and her eyes narrowed into crescents.

At this time, Grandma Zhou Xiufang also hurried out to smooth things over. With a kind smile on her face, she said softly, "Jiang Yu, your noodles are actually quite delicious. The children just crave those fancy dishes made by Yun Tao."

Jiang Yu felt a little embarrassed by the praise. He scratched his head and responded with a silly smile: "Grandma, you are too kind." After his grandmother's praise, he straightened his back and spoke with more confidence.

However, Jiang Yu's attitude towards Cheng Yueli has always been much more pleasant than towards Cheng Jingzhu and Shaobing. He turned his head, looked at Cheng Yueli gently, and said softly: "Xiaoli, if you feel that the noodles don't suit your taste and you can't eat them, don't force yourself. Don't overeat."

Cheng Jingzhu and Shaobing were immediately displeased when they heard this. They covered their foreheads and complained loudly, "Why? Why are you so mean to us and so nice to Xiaoli?"

Jiang Yu feigned seriousness, glared at them, and said, "It's because you two are so naughty and mischievous all day long."

……

Before long, the aroma of fried skewers wafted over.

Smell it first, then see the string.

“Delicious food is coming!”

Cheng Yuntao walked into the dining room carrying a large plate of fried skewers. The lingering smell of stinky tofu and snail noodles on her body was also covered by the new smell of spices.

The golden and tempting pork tenderloin skewers are fried to perfection, with an attractive luster, covered with a layer of rich and mellow sauce, and dotted with sesame seeds like stars.

Fresh from the wok, the skewers exude a complex aroma of Sichuan peppercorns and caramel, a salty and savory flavor tinged with a hint of fermented soy sauce. As you approach, the rich, salty, and oily aromas flood your nostrils, making you salivate.

"I want a bunch!"

"I want to eat one too!"

Cheng Jingzhu and Shaobing were the most active. Although they were not hungry at the moment, they were very greedy and had no resistance to the aroma of fried skewers.

"Slow down, slow down. There's plenty of fried skewers for everyone."

Cheng Yuntao looked at the two of them anxiously and shook her head helplessly.

Because he was too impatient, Shaobing got burned in the mouth by the freshly fried meat skewers. He hissed a few times, but was still reluctant to let go of the delicacy in his hand. He blew on it while continuing to gobble it up, and he didn't even notice the oil stains sliding down the corners of his mouth.

As soon as the meat skewers enter the mouth, the fresh, spicy and numbing sauce sweeps across the entire mouth like a storm. It is a kind of spicy taste that is lively yet gentle. It is not irritating, but enough to awaken the dormant taste buds, making the fresh, salty, spicy and sweet flavors of the sauce infinitely amplified.

The outer skin is fried to be very tough, with a slightly crispy texture on the edges, while the inside is extremely tender and smooth. The meat is delicate and delicious, and the gravy is tightly locked in by the hot oil without any leakage. It is extremely satisfying to chew.

After eating the skewers, Cheng Yueli picked up a rice cake.

The rice cake is neatly cut into off-white squares, strung on bamboo sticks, fried until the edges are slightly yellow, and then brushed with two layers of sauce. The brown-red sauce and white sesame seeds on the off-white rice cake form a sharp contrast, which is very tempting.

The rice cake has a slightly crispy exterior, while the interior is soft and chewy. The rice aroma becomes even richer after frying, creating a rich yet delicate flavor. The accompanying sauce, with its subtle spicy and sweet notes, blends beautifully with the rice cake itself, making it incredibly appealing.

The bean curd skin is wrapped with fresh and tender chives, and the size is just right for one bite. When Jiang Yu took the first bite, the rich and spicy flavor instantly filled every corner of his mouth.

The outer layer of the tofu skin is fried to perfection, with crispy edges, retaining the crispy aroma of frying without losing the original texture of the tofu skin, soft yet with just the right amount of firmness. The chives, softened by frying, retain their unique fragrance, offering a crisp and delicious chewiness and a juicy sweetness, forming a perfect complement to the salty, spicy and numbing chili sauce coating the tofu skin skewers.
