Chapter 6 Sour Rice and Moldy Mantou

"Father, you rest for a while, I'll cook."

As soon as the words fell, Cheng Zhongqian's frown, which had not been stretched at all, frowned even more.

Cheng Yi woke up completely from the dazed state, and said in shock: "Brother, are you crazy?!"

Cheng Yun: ".I'm fine."

"You are crazy!" Cheng Yi said firmly, "Otherwise, how could you say such a thing!"

He jumped off the bed and grabbed Cheng Yun's arm, as if he wanted to see if the elder brother's mind was filled with water.

"Brother, you are a scholar, you don't understand the principle of a gentleman staying away from the kitchen, do you?"

Cheng Zhongqian looked at him disapprovingly, both father and son had the same expressions.

"'Gentlemen stay away from the kitchen' means that you can't bear to kill, so stay away from the kitchen." Cheng Yun said, "But I don't cook, what shall we eat? Starve to death?"

Cheng Yi was speechless, and almost blurted out "Let the subordinates do it, it will be fine", and then remembered that they had no servants to order.

Cheng Zhongqian also remembered, his face was ugly, and finally he turned over, turned his back to them, and shut himself up.

Lingbao probed his head, very worried, is dad feeling sick again?

Cheng Yi caught sight of it with flying eyes, pointed and said, "Isn't there still her? Let her do it."

Lingbao blinked, bent his eyes and said, "Okay, Lingbao will do it!"

Cheng Yun glared at Cheng Yi, put his arms around the little girl and said, "Don't listen to him, I told you what Big Brother did."

Cheng Yi turned his head angrily.

Lingbao comforted in a low voice: "Second brother, don't worry, there is no chicken, duck or fish at home, so we can't kill them."

Cheng Yi: "." Even more angry.

Seeing Cheng Yun leading Lingbao out, Cheng Yi hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't hold back and followed.

Cheng Yun took the pendant out of his arms, put it on Lingbao's neck, and said, "Thank you Lingbao, thanks to your pendant, Dad is much better."

Lingbao smiled happily, showing two front teeth.

If Cheng Yun wanted to cook, he had to learn a lot.

The first thing is to start a fire. Only flint and firewood are not enough. You need to use hay to ignite it first.

Cheng Yun tried three or four times, but without success, there was only smoke but no fire.

"Cough, cough, cough! Brother, I'm going to choke to death!" Cheng Yi covered his mouth and nose, waved away the smoke in front of his eyes, and coughed continuously.

Lingbao held her breath, clenched her fists, and didn't want to hit her big brother, but she couldn't help it, coughing, coughing, it's so choking!

"Brother, I'm sorry, Lingbao didn't do it on purpose."

The disheartened Cheng Yun said helplessly: "It's not your fault, why are you apologizing?"

He found that Lingbao always habitually blamed himself.

It's just that he thought that cooking would be very simple, but he didn't expect the first step to be broken.

"It means that brother, you have no talent in this area, so give up quickly." Cheng Yi saw the needle.

Cheng Yun said, "I'll try again."

"Try again? Later people will think our house is on fire." Cheng Yi muttered, dissatisfied that he didn't persuade his elder brother to go out.

Cheng Yun: "."

This younger brother is good in everything, but he is a bit in need of a beating.

After half an hour.

A family of four sat at the table, staring at the porridge in the bowl without saying a word, if this can really be called "porridge".

Cheng Zhongqian asked, "Why is it black?"

Cheng Yun pressed his fist to his lips and coughed lightly: "It's burnt."

Cheng Zhongqian was silent.

After a long silence, he still picked up the bowl. If he didn't eat any more, he would starve to death.

Cheng Yi also picked it up and took a sip.

In the next second, the similar faces of the father and son changed drastically at the same time, and they spat it out with a "poof", it was so unpalatable!

Cheng Yi even "vomited".

Cheng Yun pursed his lips: "Is it so unpalatable?"

"Brother, try it and you'll know."

Cheng Yun took a sip, then spit it out expressionlessly, with a frustrated expression and a big blow.

He can't even cook well, can he really live on?

Just when he doubted himself, he heard a "snurling" sound of eating.

Cheng Yun looked over.

Lingbao was holding the bowl with both hands, and the food was so delicious that those who didn't know thought she was eating some delicacies from mountains and seas.

"Lingbao!" He was startled, "Don't eat it, don't eat it, don't spoil your stomach!"

It's a pity that he was a step too late, Lingbao had almost eaten, she licked the bowl clean, and there was still rice soup on her face.

Satisfied, he rubbed his belly, his eyes brightened: "It's delicious!"

Cheng Yun rubbed her gratifiedly, and said, "Don't coax me, it's still delicious if it's all mushy?"

"But it's really delicious." Lingbao said, "It's the bad rice that's unpalatable, and the big brother's cooking is delicious!"

Cheng Yi was dumbfounded, suspecting that she had lost her sense of taste.

Cheng Yun has always been careful, and he found a problem: "Lingbao, have you ever eaten bad food?"

Lingbao nodded without hesitation: "Yes, I've also eaten long steamed buns."

"Long Fu?"

Lingbao thought for a while: "It's just a little green dot."

"Is it moldy?"

"Uh-huh!"

The big brother is really powerful, he will know it as soon as she says it.

Cheng Yun opened his mouth, unable to speak.

Before today, it was hard for him to imagine that someone would eat moldy steamed buns and spoiled meals.

Besides, she's just a child.

No wonder he thought his burnt porridge was delicious.

Cheng Yun hugged her distressedly.

Lingbao asked blankly: "Big brother, what's the matter with you? Are you unhappy?"

At this time, he is also concerned.

Cheng Yun smiled and shook his head: "I'm not unhappy. But don't eat moldy steamed buns and bad rice in the future, you know?"

Lingbao felt wronged: "Then what should I do if I'm hungry?"

"Big brother will feed you."

Lingbao's eyes lit up immediately, and he agreed immediately: "Okay!"

The water in the water tank ran out, and I had to go to the river to fetch water.

Of course it was impossible for Cheng Yun to let Ling Bao go as a child, and Cheng Yi felt that his brother was a scholar who couldn't stand up to him, so he could only follow along.

At this time, the villagers were all up, so there were two or three adults by the river, all of whom came to fetch water, and seven or eight children.

When they saw Cheng Yun and Cheng Yi, they huddled together and muttered together, their eyes were full of curiosity, they look so good-looking, they feel very different from them.

But they were all explained by the family, so they didn't dare to approach.

"Hey? Isn't that Lingbao?"

"Really! Lingbao—"

When Lingbao heard someone calling him, he also called back.

"Are those your friends?" Cheng Yun asked.

Lingbao is not sure, she hasn't played with others much.

"Go and play, I'll call you later when the water is fetched." Cheng Yun pushed her in the direction of those children.

"No, no, big brother and I fetch water together, Lingbao can help." Lingbao clung to his leg, unwilling to leave.

Also too clingy.

Cheng Yun complained, but there was always a smile on the corner of his mouth.

It seems that not only does it not feel distressed, but it also enjoys it.

Originally, the villagers finished fighting one after another, and when the two brothers went there, the man whose turn it was said said, "That, you guys fight first."

Cheng Yun said: "No, you go first."

"No, no, you guys go ahead, I'm not in a hurry anyway." The man laughed dryly and took a few steps back.

Not only him, but also other people who didn't get their turn.

Carefully, as if afraid of offending them.

Cheng Yi whispered: "What, we are not bandits."

Cheng Yun thought to himself, maybe people really think so.

He didn't refuse, and went straight up to get two buckets of water, and Cheng Yi each carried a bucket, nodded and left.

Beihe Village is a small village with only thirty or so households.

It was cold winter, not many people came to visit, and the surrounding was quiet.

So when there is more than one sound, it becomes very obvious.

"Meow--"

A little white cat with hair whiter than snow.
