Chapter 201: What a treacherous way to protect food
Cheng Wenwen had a good sleep. When she got up, she heard the voices of two children outside.
"Sister Pei'er, is Sister Cheng still not awake?" Qi Qi asked.
Pei'er said, "The young lady hasn't woken up yet, young master and young lady, can you wait a little longer?"
"Okay!" Qi Qi said in a low voice.
Qi Xing muttered, "Sister Cheng is such a lazy pig, sleeping for so long!"
Qi Shuo tapped his son's head and said, "Don't talk nonsense, your sister Cheng was tired yesterday!"
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything. Daddy, why are you so nervous?" Qi Xing snorted. Don't think he doesn't know that Daddy cares about Sister Cheng.
"Shut up! Stop disturbing your sister Cheng!" Qi Shuo said sternly.
Cheng Wenwen heard the conversation between the father and his two sons outside and couldn't help but find it funny, so she got up, dressed, opened the door and went out.
"Sister Cheng, you're awake!" Qi Qi shouted happily.
"Yes! I'm awake. I got up a little late today." Cheng Wenwen said with a smile.
Qi Shuo said, "It's not too late. These two kids insisted that I bring them to see you. Sorry for disturbing your rest."
"Don't disturb me, I've had a good rest." Cheng Wenwen said.
"Then let me ask someone to serve breakfast! You must be hungry after sleeping for so long!" Qi Shuo said.
Cheng Wenwen nodded and said, "Okay!"
Cheng Wenwen simply went back to the room to wash up, and breakfast was ready. The four of them sat together to eat again. Since there were two children present, they were naturally not awkward at the dinner table.
"I'll ask someone to dig out all the potatoes in the yard later!" Qi Shuo suggested.
Cheng Wenwen nodded: "Okay! Dig it out, I'll make you something delicious at noon."
"Yeah, there's something delicious again!" Qi Qi said happily. She thought anything made by Cheng Wenwen was delicious.
After breakfast, the servants began to dig the potatoes planted outside the yard.
Qi Xing and Qi Qi felt happy and went up to help dig. After digging out a few, they happily came to Cheng Wenwen to take credit.
"Sister Cheng, look, I dug something this big!" Qi Qi said happily.
Qi Xing also brought a bigger one and said proudly, "Look, I dug this one! Isn't it huge?"
"Okay, okay, you are all awesome!"
Strength lies in numbers. They finished digging in an hour and found two large boxes of potatoes.
Cheng Wenwen asked someone to take it to the kitchen and then started tinkering with it.
Potatoes can be used to make many kinds of food, fried potatoes, stir-fried potatoes, mashed potatoes, cold potatoes, potato chips... and so on...
Cheng Wenwen planned to make a potato feast. After all, there were so many potatoes and no one had ever eaten them, so she made everything she could and let everyone have a taste.
Qi Shuo also came to the kitchen to help. He saw her use just a few steps to turn potatoes into delicious dishes. It was really amazing.
After working hard for a whole morning, I finally prepared a table full of delicious food.
Cheng Wenwen looked at Qi Shuo and said, "Can you call my cousin and cousin to come and eat together?"
Qi Shuo said: "I have sent someone to call them over. They should be here soon."
Speak of the devil and he will appear. The voices of Yao Rongen and Yao Miaoer were heard outside the door.
"My cousin lives here? The yard is quite big!" Yao Miaoer looked around.
"This yard is quite unique. Instead of growing flowers and plants, there are fruits. These fruits look bright red! They seem delicious!" Yao Rongen looked at the tomatoes in the yard and wanted to pick one, then took a bite to taste it.
"Wow! This fruit is sour and sweet! It's very juicy and delicious. I've never eaten this kind of fruit before."
Yao Rongen praised.
Seeing that his mouth was full of juice and he was eating so deliciously, Yao Miaoer picked one for herself to try. As soon as she took a bite, it was juicy and the taste was really refreshing.
"Hmm! It tastes good. What kind of fruit is this? It's so juicy and quenches your thirst."
Qi Qi heard their voices, ran out with a smile and said, "This is called tomato, grown by Sister Cheng. Isn't it delicious?"
Qi Qi had eaten tomatoes when they were ripe, and they were really delicious. Previously, there were too many fruits to eat, so she gave them all to the servants. Now a new batch of fruits has been produced, and they are really delicious.
Yao Miaoer and Yao Rongen suddenly realized and nodded, "So it was my cousin who planted it!"
"Sister Cheng has made some delicious food, sister and brother, please come in!"
Qi Qi was so greedy that she couldn't help wanting to eat any more, but her father forced her to wait until the guests arrived before she could eat.
Yao Rongen and Yao Miaoer were quickly pulled into the house by Qi Qi.
As soon as I entered the house, I smelled all kinds of aromas.
"It smells so good? What are they?" Yao Rongen and Yao Miaoer looked at the table full of dishes, not quite knowing what they were.
Cheng Wenwen explained: "I bought it from the Hu people before, it's called potatoes, it's borne fruit recently, I made some food for you to try."
"Okay, okay!" Yao Rongen couldn't wait to sit down and eat.
Yao Miaoer also sat down soon after. Everyone couldn't wait any longer and started eating.
"It's so delicious! This soft, muddy thing tastes so good! There's even sausage in it?" Yao Miaoer ate some mashed potatoes first.
Yao Rongen first ate the crispy potatoes and couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so delicious! Cousin, your cooking skills are really great, right?"
Cheng Wenwen smiled and felt that the two were exaggerating a bit.
The three members of the Qi family had already gotten used to it, so they were not that surprised. They simply complimented him a few words and then started to eat.
Although the table was filled with dishes, they were so delicious that I was afraid I wouldn’t have enough and kept eating.
Yao Rongen and Yao Miaoer looked at the Qi family's two people eating so hard. At first they looked down on them and wondered if they had never eaten before.
"Why are you eating so quickly? Be careful not to choke!" Yao Miaoer kindly reminded the two children.
Yao Rongen also looked at Qi Shuo and said, "As a father, you should set a good example for your children! Why are you in such a hurry to eat? There's no one competing with you for food."
Qi Shuo ignored Yao Rongen's words, but Qi Xing raised his eyes, rolled his eyes at Yao Rongen, and then continued to eat.
The Yao siblings thought they were exaggerating at first, but when they saw the plates emptying little by little, they began to join the battle.
"Eat slowly! There's still some in the pot!" said Cheng Wenwen.
When Yao Rongen and Yao Miaoer heard that there was still food in the pot, they were not so anxious anymore.
"There's still some in the pot! Why didn't you say so earlier?"
However, the Qi family's father and son were still eating, especially fried potatoes and French fries, until the plates were almost empty.
Yao Rongen frowned, watching Qi Shuo pick up the last piece of fried potato, feeling a little angry, then he picked up the plate and said, "Cousin, where is the pot? I'll go add some fried potatoes!"
Cheng Wenwen apologized, "The fried potatoes are gone. There are only plenty of mashed potatoes and baked potatoes. Frying potatoes is a bit troublesome, so I didn't make too many."
"Ah? No more?" Yao Rongen widened his eyes, then looked at the three people from the Qi family. He understood why they were like this. They had already known what was gone and what was gone.
The three members of the Qi family helped in the kitchen, so they naturally knew what was more and less, so they only ate less and then slowly ate more.
"Sister Cheng, I want another bowl of mashed potatoes!" Qi Xing said happily, holding his satisfied stomach. He finally got to taste Sister Cheng's cooking, so of course he had to eat more.
Yao Rongen looked at the three people from the Qi family and thought: What a cunning way to protect their food.
