On this day, there was a heavy snowfall.

Early in the morning, in the red cherry blossom village.

The little fourth son wore a thick rabbit-eared cloak, grabbed a stove in one hand, stepped on a small bench, and pushed open the window of the room.

The moment I opened the window, a cold wind blew in my face.

The little fourth son was so cold that he shrank into the cloak, and he saw a blanket of silver outside.

"Wow......" Xiao Sizi probed outside to look ...... See the snow bags one by one. Xiao Sizi was staring at the snow-white and fluffy snow, and suddenly, a small hole appeared on the flat snow surface. Then, a small white snowball came out, two round black eyes and black beads, looking at the little four, the semicircular two white ears, moved.

Xiao Sizi blinked and looked at the little white guy for a while. He recognized this little guy as a ferret raised in the Red Cherry Village.

The ferret jumped under the windowsill, and the little fourth son came to him, looking up at him.

Xiao Sizi thought about it, took out his small purse containing snacks and rummaged through it, and turned out a piece of baklava. The little fourth son handed the cake to the ferret, and the little guy held the cake, and ran away without a trace, leaving a string of small footprints on the snow.

Xiao Sizi was a little puzzled, this little ferret would go to the kitchen every morning to eat, why did he come here today?

The little ferret didn't know where the road had gone, and the little fourth son leaned out to look ahead, and accidentally turned out of the window.

Gongsun was sleeping back to sleep, when he heard a "poof", as if something had smashed into the snowdrift, he looked up, opened the curtain of the bed and looked - where is the little fourth son?

……

Zhan Zhao drilled around the outside of the quilt early in the morning, and felt that it should be snowing, and it must be very cold outside, so he wanted to sleep back.

It's just that the amount of exercise in the investigation of the case has been relatively large recently, and the consumption is also large, and I am hungry early in the morning.

As a result, Zhan's guards struggled between getting up to eat and continuing to lie in bed.

At this time, Bai Yutang on the other side of the bed reached out and knocked on the bed board, "Cat, wake up?" ”

Zhan Zhao raised his face, "Yutang." ”

"Huh?"

"Are you hungry?"

"Okay." Bai Yutang raised his face, turned over, and looked at Zhanzhao in the quilt on the side of the bed, "It's snowing so hard outside, what do you want to eat in the morning?" ”

Zhan Zhao thought for a while, "The wine-stuffed stewed egg that Lin ate at night yesterday seems to be very good. ”

Bai Yutang thought about the sweet taste, and went back to lie down.

Zhan Zhao hesitated for a long time, and decided to get up for breakfast, and after eating, build a snowman or something in the yard.

So, Zhan Zhao, who turned over, quickly put on his clothes and dragged Bai Yutang, "Mouse, get up." ”

Bai Yutang shook his head in the quilt, "I'm sorry, I'm going to sleep until noon!" ”

Zhan Zhao was shocked, "You Yushu is in the wind and the world's most romantic Bai Wuye is actually lying in bed!" ”

Bai Yutang leaned on the pillow with his side face and nodded, "Yes, cat, you will also say, the world says that I am a gentleman, but I have never been a gentleman since I was a child, do you think I am a loss?" ”

Zhan Zhao blinked.

Bai Yutang smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and tapped Zhanzhao's head, "Cats, I usually say that I feed cats, you try to feed the rats today?" ”

Zhan Zhao squinted slightly, thinking that this proposal was good! So, he stretched out his hand to cover Bai Yutang's quilt, "You wait for the mouse, I'll find something delicious to feed you!" With that, he ran away.

Bai Yutang watched Zhan Zhaoxing rush out of the city, and shook his head with a smile - this cat...... Every day is energetic and lively.

Zhan Zhao came out of the house, and as soon as he stepped into the snow, he saw that the window of Gongsun's hut was open, and there was a snow rabbit piled up on the snow under the window.

Zhan Zhao touched his chin, and said in his heart that it was the little four sons who piled it up or the shadow guards who piled it up to tease the little four sons? Wake up so early?

He was looking at the rabbit and suddenly ...... The rabbit moved.

Zhan Zhao was stunned, and when he looked closely, he saw that Xiao Sizi was wearing a rabbit cloak, sitting in the snow and looking left and right, and the rabbit ears were still shaking.

Zhan Zhao hurriedly ran over, picked up the little fourth son and patted the snowflakes on his body, "Little fourth son, why are you sitting in the snow?" ”

The little fourth son looked inside the house.

Zhan Zhao looked into the window and saw Gongsun yawning, and he had just woken up.

"Early." Zhanzhao greeted his grandson, and the fourth son also said, "Daddy is early." ”

"Morning ......" Gongsun sat up, lay down again and continued to sleep, which means that he is still very sleepy.

Zhan Zhao asked the little fourth son, "Little fourth son, are you hungry?" ”

Xiao Sizi touched his stomach and felt it, "Hmm...... Not bad. ”

"Let's go." Zhanzhao hugged the little fourth son, "Let's go get some food, and by the way, get some for your father." ”

"Okay." The fourth son clapped his little hands and said to Gongsun, "Daddy, you go back to sleep, I'll go get you something to eat." ”

Gongsun happily rubbed again and nodded, "Hmm! Shrewd! Then, wrapped in the quilt, I slept comfortably.

Zhan Zhao hugged the little fourth son and went to the kitchen.

It may be early at this time, and the red cherry village is quiet, and the few fat girls who usually chirp are not there.

Zhan Zhao felt strange as he walked...... Isn't it too quiet? Why is there no one?

The fourth child also tilted his head and asked Zhanzhao, "Cats, what about my sister?" ”

Zhan Zhao shook his head and said-I don't know what to do.

Walking to the kitchen, Zhanzhao stepped on something, hard, looked down, and saw that it was a soft-shelled turtle.

Zhan Zhao and Xiao Sizi looked at a watermark behind the soft-shelled turtle, and saw that a small wooden barrel next to it had turned over, and the soft-shelled turtle probably crawled out of it.

Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly, squatted down and looked.

The little fourth son sat on Zhanzhao's arm, also looking at the soft-shelled turtle.

"Dead or alive?" Zhan Zhao stretched out his finger and poked it lightly, and the head of the soft-shelled turtle stretched out, and his finger at Zhan Zhao was all at once, fortunately, Zhan Guard's guard had practiced, and the cat could not make the water fish bite.

Zhan Zhao retracted his hand and gently hooked the turtle with his toes. The turtle flew back into the bucket.

Zhan Zhao was quite happy, and said to the little fourth son, "Little fourth son, it is estimated that there will be soft-shelled turtles to eat at noon today." ”

"Braised or steamed?" The little fourth son asked with a smile.

"Hmm...... It's better to braised it, but it's also good to steam. Zhan Zhao smiled and walked to the kitchen with the little fourth son in his arms and found a problem.

I saw a lot of ingredients all over the ground, there were a lot of big legs of mutton on the cutting board, and there were big crucian carp and big black fish in the pork ribs and buckets next to it, and all kinds of vegetables...... I just don't see anyone.

"Huh?" Zhan Zhao looked around, "What about the kitchen lady?" ”

Xiao Sizi also wondered, at this time in the past, the kitchen should be lively, the hot buns have just come out of the cage, the tofu flowers are also good, and you can eat them with egg skin and green onions.

Zhan Zhao walked to the side of the cage drawer, reached out and touched it, the cage drawer was cold, and when he opened it, there were no buns.

In the wine vat on the side, there is the sweet wine brewed last night, a basket of eggs is placed aside, the dishes and chopsticks are empty, a hemp bag of flour is placed aside, a large board on the table, and a rolling pin. Under the rolling pin, there was a note.

Zhan Zhao picked up the note, and saw that it was the handwriting of the kitchen lady, this word, arrogant and dry, Zhan Zhao thought that it might be written by the lady with a rolling pin.

"Old lady, my son will get married the day after tomorrow, and I will go and prepare a wedding wine for them. That stinky boy suddenly told me last night, and you weren't there yesterday, so I found Yin Hou. Yin Hou said, let me take all the people in the house to help, so I took them all. The ingredients are all in the kitchen, three meals in the morning, noon and evening tomorrow and the next two days, you can cook it yourself, and I will come back the day after tomorrow. ”

Zhan Zhao and Xiao Sizi read every word, and glanced at each other-=0=!

The little fourth son held his face, "The kitchen lady took away the uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters who can cook!" ”

Zhan Zhao had an idea, "There is a man in Zhao Pu's military camp!" ”

The little fourth son clapped his hands - right!

The two ran to the gate of the Red Cherry Village, and a cold wind swept a few dead leaves.

Zhan Zhao and Xiao Sizi opened their mouths wide, looking at the empty gate of the cottage, there was snow, where was there a military tent!

In the snow, Xiao Liangzi is practicing kung fu.

"Jin'er!" Xiao Liang was also a little puzzled when he saw that the little fourth son got up so early, so he put away the knife and ran over, "Get up so early?" ”

Zhan Zhao and Xiao Sizi glanced at each other and asked Xiao Liang, "What about the 1,000 soldiers and 500 servants?" ”

Xiao Liang said, "Oh, last night the master said that it might snow, and I was afraid that the soldiers would freeze when they camped outside, so the people and horses were arranged to go to Yingtianfu." ”

Zhan Zhao gasped, "Who...... Who took it? ”

"The shadow guards took it away, and only Purple Shadow and Ochre Shadow were left in the Red Cherry Village, and Purple Shadow couldn't go for fear of the cold." Xiao Liang said, "I said that I would be able to come back tomorrow, and I wanted to settle those soldiers today." ”

Xiao Sizi then held his face, "The only ones who can cook are Sister Scarlet Shadow and Sister Daiying." ”

Zhan Zhao also felt - terrible!

"Or go out and buy it?" The little fourth son tilted his head.

Zhan Zhao felt that it was also a way, and at this time, he saw that not far away, Ouyang Shaozheng came back riding a crazy girl.

"Wow. Frozen to death! Ouyang was trembling, and the crazy girl was also angry, shaking off the white snow on her body with her mane.

Zhan Zhao asked, "Are all the nearby restaurants open?" ”

Ouyang shook his head, "The snow outside is even bigger, the mountains are closed, and all restaurants and inns are not open." “

Zhan Zhao's mouth opened wide.

The little fourth son continued to hold his face, "Ahhhhh We're going to starve! ”

Ouyang was taken aback, "How can you starve to death?" ”

Zhan Zhao asked him seriously, "What, do you know who else knows how to cook?" ”

Ouyang was stunned for a long time, and then tilted his head, "Cooking?" ”

……

Half an hour later, in the hall of the Red Cherry Village.

Master Bao, Mrs. Bao, Pang Taishi, Pang Yu, Bao Yan, Lin Yehuo, Zou Liang, Zhao Pu, Gongsun Ce, Ouyang Shaozheng, Ziying, Ochre Ying, Xiao Liang, Xiao Sizi, Zhanzhao, Bai Yutang, Yin Lan Porcelain, Zhan Tianxing, Lu Xueer, Bai Xia, Tianzun, Yin Hou, Lu Tianhan, Wusha, Hongjiuniang...... Twenty-five people and five small tigers have been sitting together.

After a long time, I heard Master Bao ask, "Really not?" ”

Everyone was silent for a long time, and they all twisted their faces and stared at Yin.

Tianzun was dissatisfied, "You left one!" Why did you send it away? Even if you leave Chenxing'er and Crescent Moon behind, you will have food! ”

Yin Hou was also quite speechless, "Who knew that there are so many of you, and none of you can cook?" ”

After speaking, he also looked at his daughter and Lu Xue'er, "You two are mothers, and you will always cook, right?" ”

Yin Lan porcelain looked at the sky, Lu Xueer also looked at the sky, and the others were discouraged, and they all subconsciously went to see Mrs. Bao, and always felt that among so many female dependents, Mrs. Bao looked the most reliable.

Mrs. Bao was also quite interested, "I can give it a try." ”

Who knew that Bao Zheng gently pressed her hand and smiled, "Alas, madam, let the young man do it." ”

Everyone was puzzled, and they saw Bao Yan glancing at everyone, which means - no! If you let your mother cook, the consequences will be serious!

Everyone looked at each other.

"What then?" Bai Yutang held his chin, "If I'm hungry for a day, I don't care......"

The crowd glared at him.

Zhan Zhao suddenly clapped his hands, "Ah! I remember, the kitchen lady has a recipe! ”

Everyone glanced at each other, and Yin Lanci also nodded, "It seems to have a ......"

Zhan Zhao ran to the kitchen lady's room, and not long after, he ran back, holding a few recipes in his hand, "Found it!" The eldest lady put it on the table seems to be a recipe that corresponds to today's ingredients! ”

Everyone approached and saw that there were thirteen dishes in all.

Braised soft-shelled turtle yellow eel segment

Black fish flakes and snow cabbage black fish head stock

The lotus leaf is called the flower chicken

Tofu stuffed mushroom eggplant box

Hai three fresh stewed ground three fresh fried three silks

Sweet and sour pork ribs with white sesame and green onions

Mixed roasted vegetables

Steamed crabs

Crab, crucian carp, poached egg soup

Hand finger lamb sticky rice

Osmanthus glutinous rice pearl balls

The staple food is steamed buns, fried noodles, and white rice.

Everyone read the entire list, and then raised their hands together, "I'm in charge of cooking white rice." ”

Then they glanced at each other again, and Lord Bao raised his forehead, "After grouping, let's draw lots!" ”

Everyone looked at each other...... In the end, they were divided into groups.

The grouping is as follows......

Zhanzhao & Bai Yutang

Purple Shadow & Ochre Shadow

Ouyang Shaozheng & Xiao Wu

Ouyang Shaozheng jumped to his feet and pointed to Xiao Wu yawning and stretching his waist beside him, "Why am I with it?" What can it do?!

The crowd looked at him sympathetically.

Ouyang squatted to the side and drew circles, and Xiao Wu followed him and rubbed him with his head.

Zhao Pu also said cool words, "Not enough? Black owls, they lend you too! ”

Ouyang squinted his eyes and slanted at Zhao Pu.

Gongsun stuffed thirteen pieces of paper with the names of the dishes into a jar, shook them for a long time, and then brought them over, and everyone drew lots.

The results of the draw were as follows:

Zhanzhao & Bai Yutang - Black fish fillet and snow cabbage black fish head broth

Gongsun & Zhao Pu - crab, crucian carp, poached egg soup

Zhan Tianxing & Bai Xia - hand grasping mutton glutinous rice

Purple Shadow & Ochre Shadow - Lotus leaves are called flower chickens

Ouyang Shaozheng & Little Five - Steamed Crab

Everyone took their own set of drawn menus and studied them carefully, and they all felt that it was very difficult!

"That's right."

At this time, Yin Hou suddenly said again, "Who washes the dishes after the meal?" ”

When a word was asked, everyone looked at each other and continued to struggle.

Yin Lanci proposed, "Why don't we compete?" ”

Everyone was stunned, "Competition? ”

Yin Lanci nodded, "After we do it, the group that makes the most unpalatable or the most unsuccessful is responsible for washing the dishes." ”

Everyone is nervous - on such a cold day, you must not lose!

With the voice of Master Bao, "Let's go!" "The crowd went in pairs to prepare the ingredients and cook according to the menu.

Ouyang Shaozheng took the list, looked at the big basket of crabs in front of him, put his arms around Xiao Wu's neck, pinched its fat claws and said seriously, "Brother, you have to fight for it!" If the damn loses, so many bowls will have to be washed by Lao Tzu alone! ”

Xiao Wu tilted his head to look at Ouyang Shaozheng, and by the way, he used his claws to tease the basket full of crabs. It seems to be a little disgusted - Ouyang is so lucky that he almost drew a crab, if only he drew that leg of mutton!

Zhan Zhao stared at the old big black fish in the bucket, frowned, and he saw the boy sitting on the rattan couch watching the lively Bai Yutang on the side.

"What then?" Zhan Zhao tugged on Bai Yutang's sleeve, "Fish scales!" ”

Bai Yutang crossed his arms and asked him, "What are fish scales?" ”

"Scales on a fish!" Show your spirit.

Bai Yutang continued to hold his arms and was reluctant to move, not even his feet, and asked slowly, "Where does it grow?" ”

Zhan Zhao supports the forehead - a mistake, cooking with a group of rats, there is a complete chance of winning!
