Five cubs at the beginning: the vicious stepmother turns over and becomes a group favorite

That night, Mu Daiyao directed Ji Xiukai to bring out the pork trotters with rock sugar on the stove, and the fragrance wafted everywhere he went.

Even Ji Xiuyun, who had always been displeased with Mu Daiyao, widened her eyes and couldn't help swallowing.

The aroma of the wine was mixed with the aroma of meat, and there was an indescribable sweetness that made everyone in the Ji family sit at the table, waiting eagerly for Mu Daiyao to speak.

Due to strictly following the ratio of sugar and salt in the recipe given by the system, the effect of this rock sugar pig's trotter is far more refined and perfect than what Mu Daiyao groped for before she was reborn.

And Mu Daiyao had already given Qin Shi and Brother Wang a bowl to taste, and when she saw the unbelievable expressions on their faces, she knew she had succeeded.

"The dish I'm eating tonight is called stewed hoof with rock sugar. I figured out the recipe myself. I don't know which one is better than the restaurant outside. You guys have to try it."

After Ji Xiukai brought a few more vegetarian dishes fried by his elder brother, Mu Daiyao clapped his hands and said flatly to everyone in Ji's family.

But she was somewhat uneasy. After all, this dish can be regarded as her water test. If she can win unanimous approval, then she will have more confidence in her plan to open a restaurant smoothly in the future.

"Hmph, at your level, you still want to compare with restaurants outside. If you are really that good, why don't you open your own restaurant."

Although Ji Xiuyun was greedy, she was still unrelenting and refused to admit defeat, so she said something sarcastic.

She thought that her second brother would help her to talk together, but Ji Xiukai had already experienced their stepmother's cooking skills several times, so she didn't dare to say a word at all.

I'm afraid that if I say something wrong, I won't be able to eat this delicious meal by then.

This is stewed hoof with rock sugar. Ji Xiukai dares to assure you that few people in the whole village have had this kind of food.

I don't know where his stepmother learned it from. Thinking of this, Ji Xiukai looked at Mu Daiyao with a bit of admiration that he didn't know.

"Second brother?!"

Seeing that no one spoke for a long while, Ji Xiuyun only felt that her face was dull and her face was hot. She glanced at her second brother, but found that her second brother looked away as if nothing had happened, and did not dare to look at her.

"Xiu Yun, don't call your second brother, if you don't want to eat, you don't have to eat it."

Ji Zhixu opened his mouth lightly, and immediately silenced Ji Xiuyun, not daring to continue talking.

"Yao Niang, you have worked hard."

Seeing that no one spoke again, Ji Zhixu looked at Mu Daiyao, his tone softened, and said.

Then he turned his head, and praised Ji Xiuping who was sitting quietly: "You still have Xiuping, you have done a good job."

With no emotion on his face, Ji Xiu responded respectfully, "This is what a son should do."

"Father, there's me too. I've worked hard too."

Ji Xiukai muttered something in a low voice, he didn't miss out, isn't he worthy of his father's praise?

"Isn't it right to do this kind of work when you grow up so big?"

For his second son, Ji Zhixu always had a mentality of hating iron but not steel, so he reached out and knocked Ji Xiukai on the head gently.

Although the words were reprimands, they did not imply any blame.

Only Ji Xiukai couldn't hear it, his head drooped, and his face was not very happy.

Seeing this, Mu Daiyao knew that it had nothing to do with her, but she couldn't help it for some reason, cleared her throat, and said seemingly unintentionally: "Sir, my arm is injured, and the hoof is very difficult to deal with." of."

The words all hinted at this level, Ji Zhixu glanced at Mu Daiyao who had been winking at him, and then glanced sideways at Ji Xiukai who was dejected, his eyes drooped slightly, and after a while, his usually cold voice finally came out. A little gentle.

"Xiao Kai, in fact, you are doing very well. Daddy is very happy."

As soon as the words were finished, Ji Xiukai suddenly raised his head, looked at Ji Zhixu with bright eyes, and gave a smirk with a "hehe".

For some reason, seeing this scene, Mu Daiyao felt a little sour in her heart.

Before she could find out what it was, Ji Letong said impatiently: "Can I eat it? It won't taste good if it's cold!"

"of course can."

Mu Daiyao's thoughts were pulled back, she smiled shallowly, and watched Ji Letong put a piece of soft and glutinous hoof meat into the bowl, with a look of anticipation on her face involuntarily.

"good to eat!"

Ji Letong found that she always had only one adjective for Yaoyao's food. After thinking about it, she finally came up with the four words "super delicious" after eating so much oil.

It made Mu Daiyao bend her eyebrows with a smile, and also caused everyone at the dinner table to raise their chopsticks and gobble it up.

If it weren't for Ji Zhixu's sharp eyes and quick hands, he really couldn't grab these children from himself.

He picked up a small half of the bowl, pushed it in front of Mu Daiyao, and said with concern: "Yao Niang, you have to eat yourself, otherwise you won't eat anything after working for a long time."

"Thank you sir."

Mu Daiyao really didn't expect that Ji Zhixuan would miss her for such a trivial matter. She took the bowl, lowered her head, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

To Ji Zhixu, these four words sounded sweeter than anything else, if it wasn't for the fact that the children were still in front of him, the corners of his mouth would also be turned up.

Although Ji Xiu was not slow with his hands, he still kept observing Mu Daiyao secretly while eating, and when he looked at the dish again, there was only a little oil on it.

Not only that, Ji Xiukai stretched out his hand and pulled over the plate, picked up a big steamed bun and wiped off the last bit of oil on it, and then happily drank half a bowl of porridge with the steamed bun.

Ji Xiuping frowned, careless, he shouldn't eat so politely at home.

Naturally, Mu Daiyao could feel that Ji Xiuping's seemingly absent eyes had been sizing her up all the time, and she didn't say anything, but after dinner, she found a reason to keep Ji Xiuping.

"What are you thinking about?"

After everyone had left, Ji Xiuping asked Mu Daiyao coldly.

He is not as easy to coax as the second brother, don't think that you can buy him off with one or two delicious meals.

Mu Daiyao didn't care about Ji Xiu's indifferent tone. She tapped on the table with her fingers, frowned slightly, and replied, "From tomorrow, I'm going to make some pastries to sell in the market."

"What the hell are you trying to do? If you think your cooking is delicious, then just obediently cook at home. Why go out and show your face?"

Hearing this, Ji Xiuping frowned immediately, and said very bluntly.
