"Puff ......"

Zheng Zumeng sat by the small pool in the backyard of the Red Mansion and threw the pebbles in his hand into the pool. The pebbles fell into the pond and caused ripples in circles and circles, startling the small fish in the pond to swim around in panic.

"A-Ying, you said Li Gongzi...... Uh, isn't your eldest brother really going mad?" Zheng Zumeng casually walked to the ground behind him, tilted his head and asked Li Ying, who was standing on the side looking at him.

Li Ying seemed to have something in her heart, but she still smiled and said, "Don't worry, that guy just likes to pretend, where did he get mad." And even if your first plan doesn't pass, isn't there still my plan? ”

"Well, that's great. I didn't expect that Li Gongzi to be your eldest brother, how can you say it? I can only say that this world is too small. ”

Zheng Zumeng said and put his hands behind his head and pressed them, closed his eyes and lay on the edge of the pool to enjoy this short leisure time.

However, Zheng Zumeng did not notice Li Ying's different expression from before, Li Ying looked at Zheng Zumeng lying there basking in the sun and couldn't take his eyes off for a long time. It seems that as long as Li Ying's eyes leave Zheng Zumeng in this second, then Zheng Zumeng will disappear in front of her in the next second.

Ever since Li Ying saw the dart flag that belonged to the foot trainer's own family in the carriage in the backyard, she had the illusion that she was about to be separated from Zheng Zumeng.

Just when Li Ying was still looking at Zheng Zumeng without blinking, Zheng Zumeng, who was still basking in the sun with his eyes closed just now, suddenly opened his eyes.

Zheng Zumeng found that Li Ying was stunned at first when she looked at her, and then she said with a smile: "A-Ying, why don't you come and bask in the sun together, it's rare that the sun is just right today, wouldn't you be sorry for your body if you don't bask in the sun?" Come on, let's bask in the sun together, which is conducive to thriving. ”

"Well...... Li Ying agreed happily, and she walked happily towards Zheng Zumeng's side. Li Ying sat down next to Zheng Zumeng, and she gently moved Zheng Zumeng's body to her side, so that Zheng Zumeng's body was half leaning on her body.

"Eh, A-Ying, you ......" Zheng Zumeng didn't expect Li Ying to let herself lean on her, Li Ying took advantage of Zheng Zumeng's momentary stunned moment to press the other party on her body.

"Ah Meng will lie down like this for a while, okay. Li Ying lowered her head and said softly.

"Good. Zheng Zumeng replied softly, and then obediently closed his eyes and basked in the sun and stopped talking.

Li Ying looked at Zheng Zumeng lying in her arms, how she wished she could stay at this moment.

"Maybe it's just my own overthinking. After all, the eldest brother hasn't been home for many years, and my father never seems to be worried about the eldest brother. Maybe the eldest brother won't bring him back?" Li Ying thought about it and fell asleep unconsciously.

At this time, in the Accord on the third floor of the Red Mansion, Li Shixian was looking at the potato carving in a daze.

The sheer size, the seamlessness, and most importantly, the ingenious carving. I don't know how the potato was processed, but it was so tall after such a long time, and it didn't shrank because it had been peeled for too long.

"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!" Li Shixian said three wonderful words in a row, which shows how satisfied Li Shixian is with the potato carving in front of him.

"Childe, it seems that you are very satisfied with this potato carving. Li Deming was also the first time to see such a big potato carving, and he was very surprised when he looked at this thing.

"Satisfied? Not only satisfied, but quite satisfied. Li Shixian did not hide the joy in his heart.

Li Deming saw that his son-in-law was so satisfied, so it means that the matter has now been satisfactorily resolved. Otherwise, if his son-in-law really started a fire and really wanted to go crazy in the Red Mansion, it would be really difficult to do.

After all, no matter how powerful his son-in-law is, he is rashly angry on the territory of the Red Mansion, not to mention whether his family will intervene, even the one behind the scenes of the Red Mansion may not be indifferent.

"Go, give this chef a good reward, this is a talent. As for the reward, you can just look at it, I just want to take a good look at this thing now. Hahahaha" Li Shixian's big hand wave is a reward, which shows that this potato carving is really in line with his wishes.

"Yes, I'm going to send two ingots of gold to the cook. Although Li Shixian asked Li Deming to be the main reward, Li Deming still told Li Shixian what he was going to reward, after all, Li Shixian was the master and he was not.

Li Shixian nodded and did not speak, his whole attention was on the potato carving.

Li Deming saw that his son-in-law had no objection, so he left the room backwards. He planned to personally reward this chef, and by the way, see if this person had three heads and six arms, otherwise how could he have such a whimsical idea and superb craftsmanship.

"Oh, two girls, why are you sleeping here? The humidity on the edge of this pool is heavy, and it won't be good to get cold when the time comes. "Aunt Fang came here to call Zheng Zumeng and Li Ying to receive the reward. It's just that she searched around the kitchen and didn't find it, but she didn't expect these two to fall asleep on the edge of the pool.

"Hmm, what's wrong, Aunt Fang? Are you catching the old rooster again in such a hurry?"

"Huh, didn't you catch the old last time?"

Zheng Zumeng and Li Ying have just woken up, and the two of them are still out of state. The two of them didn't hear what Aunt Fang said before, and the two of them only thought that Aunt Fang was here to catch the old.

Because one day Aunt Fang suddenly said that she was going to the market to buy a new rooster, saying that the rooster in the yard was too old and no longer had the original energy. When Aunt Fang was catching an old rooster in the yard that day, she also barked very loudly like this.

"What kind of chicken, I'm looking for you two little girls. Aunt Fang said a little panting, but after she finished speaking, she felt that what she said seemed a little weird. However, now doesn't seem to be the time to think about this, Aunt Fang continued: "You two little clever ghosts, you have one set of ghost ideas after another. That Li Gongzi was very happy, and asked Steward Li to send you two ingots of gold. ”

"Hmm, so Li Gongzi likes that potato carving?" Zheng Zumeng didn't expect that the thing he carved for the first time would really work. Zheng Zumeng remembered that this incident happened after he complained before, does that mean that he complained at that time to get lucky, and the golden finger already has it?

However, Zheng Zumeng thought that he didn't seem to have gotten any hints about the cheating system and the successful binding of the system. It seems that after waiting to get the reward, you will have to find a place to try if your good luck really exists.

Zheng Zumeng was thinking about her golden finger, and Li Ying next to her was thinking about another thing.

Li Ying felt that since she didn't want to meet with her family, so as not to be sent back by her family when she got it, she could only refuse to show up, thinking of this, Li Ying pretended to have a stomachache and said to Aunt Fang: "Aunt Fang, I won't go if I go to the front to get the reward, my stomach is suddenly a little uncomfortable." ”

"Ahh This made Li Ying a little embarrassed for a while.

However, in order to stay with Ah Meng, Li Ying could only shake her head and continue: "It's okay Aunt Fang, it's just a little painful, maybe it will be fine after a while." ”

"Oh, then you can go back and rest first, as for the reward of Steward Li, let Ah Meng help you receive it. I'll explain it to Steward Li. Rest assured, it's okay. Aunt Fang said with a concerned face.

"Yes, it must be the reason why I pressed you just now, so you can go back and rest first. I'll go back and eat with you at dinner. Zheng Zumeng touched Li Ying's head and said.

Aunt Fang and Zheng Zumeng's words of concern for her made Li Ying a little ...... She was deceiving everyone's guilt, she just didn't want to meet with the people at home, so she was forced to separate from Zheng Zumeng, so what kind of trouble is such a warm picture now?

"Miss Li, you can go back and rest. I took Ah Meng to the front. With these two ingots of gold this time, the debts of the two girls were paid off. I will continue to play in the Red Mansion when I have time in the future. "To be honest, after just a few days of getting along, Aunt Fang is still really a little reluctant to give up these two girls.

"Well, we will. When the time comes, we will definitely come and spend a few days with everyone, and of course we will definitely bring enough money. Zheng Zumeng looked at Li Ying and said jokingly to Aunt Fang.

"Hahaha, okay, okay. When the time comes, remember to bring more, and stay for a few more days, and the aunt will open a small stove for your two little girls every day. Aunt Fang was also happy to joke with the two laughing girls, and the injuries that were about to be separated for a while were reduced a lot.

After that, Aunt Fang and Zheng Zumeng walked towards the front hall, and Li Ying returned to the hut where she and Zheng Zumeng had come a few days to rest.

"This must be the best chef. Your skill is the most distinctive of all the famous chefs I have ever seen, I don't know what I should call you?" Li Deming originally thought that in this Red Mansion, the chef who could make such a masterpiece must be a master with a grade, but when he saw = saw Zheng Zumeng, he realized that there was really a hero and a teenager.

At this time, Li Deming not only had the meaning of rewarding in his heart, but also had the meaning of cherishing talents and loving talents in his heart. He felt that such a character should be owned by his Li family, not in the dusty land of this back building.

In fact, Li Deming didn't mean to be disrespectful to the Red Mansion, but all he was thinking about at this time was planning for his son-in-law Li Shixian, after all, he came to the Red Mansion from Danyang City every month just for a plate of potatoes, and he Li Deming felt very sorry for his son-in-law.

"Ah, the name is nothing more than a code name, if Steward Li doesn't mind, you can call me the God of Food" Zheng Zumeng looked at Li Deming's deliberate praise on his face, she already knew in her heart what the other party was having.

You, an old man who worked as a housekeeper in a large family, have such praise for a chef in a fireworks building. This is quite inconsistent with your identity, even if you appreciate each other no matter how much you appreciate each other. But after all, this is a world of dignity and inferiority, and there must be demons when things are impermanent.

Therefore, Zheng Zumeng deliberately made himself look very arrogant, in order to make the other party dispel the idea of recruiting himself.

Sure enough, Li Deming did mean to recruit Zheng Zumeng at first, but when Zheng Zumeng's words just came out. Li Deming's opinion of Zheng Zumeng plummeted, and he thought that the other party was really too young. There is no humility at all, but it is extremely inflated to the point of no return.

At that moment, Li Deming temporarily put away his solicitation of Zheng Zumeng, after all, the Li family is not a person who has any sample sex can enter. Therefore, Li Deming lost his previous enthusiastic attitude towards Zheng Zumeng, and turned into ordinary politeness. He felt that he had to sharpen this girl's temperament now, and maybe she would be even better than she was now.

"Since your performance this time is very much in the heart of the child, these two ingots of gold are rewarded to you and your companions. Take it. Li Demin said that, he took out two ingots of gold from his arms and handed them to Zheng Zumeng.

Zheng Zumeng took the gold and thanked Li Demin, then stood there straight and stopped talking.

Aunt Fang looked at Zheng Zumeng standing upright like a wooden person, and she was anxious like a cat scratching. "What's wrong with this stupid girl, the people of the Li family obviously have a pity for this girl. Why is she such a ghostly little girl now making a fool of herself?"

Li Deming and Aunt Fang also had the same idea, but he felt that he was so embarrassed to stand there like this. He was waiting, waiting for Zheng Zumeng to open his mouth to talk to him, but he didn't expect the other party to stand like that after taking the gold, there was no movement except for a thank you.

The most feared thing is that suddenly the air is quiet.

The current picture is that Aunt Fang kept staring at Zheng Zumeng, Zheng Zumeng just stood there with two ingots of gold and didn't see it at all, and Li Demin was the most embarrassed person among the three, and he kept a smiling expression.

"Steward Li. In the end, it was Zheng Zumeng who opened his mouth.

Aunt Fang heard Zheng Zumeng speak, she thought that this girl's IQ had just gone out to carve potatoes? But fortunately, the IQ is back, as long as the girl doesn't have any more moths.

As soon as Zheng Zumeng opened his mouth, Li Deming smiled even brighter, and he knew that no one could refuse the olive branch of their Li family. Li Deming thought in his heart, "This girl shouldn't have done it on purpose, she didn't speak until I was about to laugh." I almost didn't laugh just now, and it looks like I'm going to get some honey to apply it when I go back. ”

Li Deming continued to smile and replied: "You say, do you still have any needs?"

"Oh, not really, but I wonder why you keep laughing there. If it's okay, I'll go back to work. My friend is sick and needs me to go back and take care of him. Zheng Zumeng looked like he was simply narrating things.

"I didn't ...... Gone?" Li Deming was completely stupid now, he thought of how Zheng Zumeng would ask for an olive branch from him, but what he never expected was that it would be such a result.

Aunt Fang was also petrified on the spot by Zheng Zumeng's words, she felt that this girl's IQ was definitely cut off when she was peeling potatoes.

"Well, no. Since you have nothing else to order, I will take my leave and go back. Finally, thank you for your tip, thank you. As soon as Zheng Zumeng's words were finished, he turned around and left the front hall, leaving only the petrified Aunt Fang and Li Deming, who couldn't recover from the shock.

How many years have it been, how many years has no one been willing to refuse the olive branch of the Li family, but I didn't expect to meet such a person today.

After a long time, Li Deming seemed to come back to his senses, and he laughed.

Li Deming's laughter directly woke up Aunt Fang.

"Ah, it's a powerful little girl, Aunt Fang, you Red Mansion don't know what luck you go, such a character is not a thing in the pool. Now that I've delivered the reward, it's time for me to go back. Goodbye, Aunt Fang" Li Deming stopped laughing, he said to Aunt Fang and turned around and walked upstairs.

It's just that he just came to the third floor, but Li Deming suddenly stepped down, and he found that he seemed to be led by Zheng Zumeng's little girl.

"Sure enough, that girl is not an ordinary person. I wonder how a person with such a temperament can have no personality and connotation. It turned out that people had already seen through their own purpose. Li Deming shook his head and smiled mockingly, and walked towards Childe's room.

And Aunt Fang, who is still downstairs, doesn't know why, she just thinks that everyone is very strange today.

After that, Aunt Fang returned to the back kitchen, thinking about helping the two little ones prepare some food to take over, after all, winning a reward is also something to celebrate, isn't it?

Aunt Fang looked at some leftover potatoes in the kitchen, but she was a little embarrassed. You can't celebrate with these potatoes, can you?

Steamed, braised, stir-fried, or vinegared?

These lady of the vegetable house can do it, but she can't do it! How can we say that everyone has been together for so long, so we can't celebrate so shabbyly.

But Aunt Fang went around the kitchen, not to mention a little meaty. It's hard to find a little bit of meat foam, and today's meat is made for the Li family's son.

What can I do?

"Goo, goo, goo"

The sudden rooster crow made Aunt Fang's eyes light up, isn't the old rooster just walking meat?

After a while, the backyard sounded the sound of the old rooster cooing higher than a louder, and Aunt Fang used all her strength to finally force the old rooster into the corner in order to celebrate the two little girls.

Faced with the choice of life and death, the old rooster jumped over the wall in a hurry. Just as the old rooster flew up and jumped behind Aunt Fang with the help of the wall, Aunt Fang directly pulled out a kitchen knife from behind, and stabbed it straight with her backhand.

"Look, you're pretty happy on weekdays. Now that you don't have such a life, you can go with peace of mind. Whether it's your big hen or your little hen, I'll buy another big rooster to take care of them. After that, Aunt Fang carried the neck of the old rooster into the kitchen and began to cook the ingredients of the potato chicken.

Aunt Fang, who had done everything, squatted beside the stove, and when she thought of the picture that the two little girls would laugh happily when she waited for her, Aunt Fang was full of warmth in her heart. If she still has children now, she is estimated to be only three years older than Zheng Zumeng and Li Ying.

"Wow, it smells like chicken. Aunt Fang, what are you doing deliciously? Tian Hanzhong, who was idle in the front hall, thought that he had nothing to do, so it was better to go to the kitchen to find something delicious. As soon as he entered the kitchen, he asked about the fragrant smell of chicken, and when he saw Aunt Fang, his eyes lit up.

(Ahem, because Aunt Fang usually cooks food for Tian Hanzhong, so her eyes will light up when she sees Aunt Fang here.) After all, aren't the eyes of hungry wolves glowing green when they see food......? How do you feel that the more you explain, the more chaotic it becomes?)

"yes, made potato chicken, I thought"

"Aunt Fang!"

Tian Hanzhong directly interrupted Aunt Fang's words, and said with a handful of snot and tears: "I know you are good to me, but I didn't expect you to be so good to me." You must have known that I was hungry, so you made me something delicious ahead of time. Look at the black chicken feathers on this stove, it must be an old rooster in this pot. Aunt Fang......"

"Tom!"

Seeing Tian Hanzhong flying over, Aunt Fang directly knocked over with a pot and spoon. Aunt Fang directly knocked Tian Hanzhong this time, and his mind was full of chicken spinning in circles.

"Auntie, why are you beating me?" Tian Hanzhong said aggrievedly.

"Hit you, don't beat you, who will I beat? This chicken is made by me for Ah Meng and Ah Ying, although the two little girls have a small mistake today, but they have also successfully saved their own mistakes. And even there was a reward, and this chicken was used for celebration. You usually don't eat less, and eating less is not bad for you. After Mrs. Fang finished speaking, she continued to look at the fire in the stove, whether the potato chicken tasted good or not was on this fire.

"Auntie......"

"My good aunt, my aunt is the best for Odada......"

Tian Hanzhong, a rough man of more than 1.9 meters at this time, actually sprinkled like a little girl.

"Gotta get it, aunt, I'm serving you, I'll give you a piece to eat. Aunt Fang was annoyed by Tian Hanzhong, and finally agreed to give Tian Hanzhong a piece of food.

"One piece, one piece...... Wait, Auntie, you don't mean ......" Tian Hanzhong couldn't believe what he was thinking, he looked at Aunt Fang with an uneasy heart, he only hoped that what he heard from Aunt Fang's mouth was not what he thought in his heart.

"You don't have to look at me like that. You're right, it's chicken butt. Aunt Fang looked at Tian Hanzhong's appearance and said indifferently.

Chicken ass, chicken ass, chicken ass!

After listening to Aunt Fang's words, the three words chicken ass kept echoing in Tian Hanzhong's mind,

"Chicken butt is chicken butt, at least it's still a piece of meat. Tian Hanzhong said as if resigned to his fate.

"Tut, look at your little bit of talent, it's really ...... Auntie, I'll tease you, I'll give you chicken heads, chicken necks and chicken feet later, and the chicken butt is for you. Aunt Fang looked at Tian Hanzhong's appearance and said funny.

"Hey?!I'll only go to the eldest lady, you're the best, hahahaha" Tian Hanzhong didn't expect happiness to come so quickly.

In fact, if Tian Hanzhong knew that the chicken head, chicken neck, chicken feet and chicken butt were just something that the two girls couldn't eat, and Aunt Fang didn't want to waste food so she gave it to him, I don't know if this guy would be so happy.

But I'll be happy to think about it.

After all, the current Tian Hanzhong is squatting on the edge of the stove with Aunt Fang, and the two of them are watching the fire and waiting for chicken.
