The little cook in the book has fallen asleep

Chapter 125: Do locusts reproduce faster or do people eat them faster?

All things in the world are gifts from nature, and insects naturally cannot escape the clutches of the chefs, especially when Cheng Tong and Cheng came in, they brought a lot of dried chilies!

"This smell is so tempting!" Cheng Tong said, and he couldn't help but pick up the fried locusts on the side and stuff them into his mouth!

This little master of our family is the apple of everyone's eye, but she is not a delicate princess. Instead, she is the most lively and unconventional person on the mountain.

She was not even afraid of the locusts. Look! She was taking the children of Rongguo to catch locusts not far away!

When a locust is caught, a group of people start to cheer and laugh together. It's so comfortable!

Not far away, Cheng Lixiao, Cheng Xiaoba and Yuwen Jue were drinking tea. They were all smiling as they watched Cheng Yu laughing and making noises, with two naughty little birds beside him.

"Xiao Ba, do you think Xiao Jiu will always be as happy as she is now?" Yu Wen Jue pointed at Cheng Yu who was not far away. He was about to start his plan to kidnap someone.

After all, he is almost ten years old this year, and Xiao Yuer is the little wife he has always been eyeing, and he can't let her run away from Cheng Yu!

The servants of the Yuwen family kept urging him to go back, saying that the old hag was about to die, and asked him to go back to the Yuwen family to take over some things and wait for the old hag to pass away.

"It's good for her to be like this. Our whole family hopes that she can live according to her heart! Instead of being trapped by the shackles of this world!" Cheng Xiaoba looked at Cheng Yu who was smiling freely in the sun. This is what they brothers want to protect!

But he was unhappy when he thought about his sister getting married in the future! It was unrealistic to want to find a son-in-law for her, because he was afraid that the man would be after her money and status. How could a man who could marry into her family be a good person?

Cheng Yiyu: What did you say? Say it again! What's wrong with marrying into the family? He is happy with it!

Yuwen Jue: It doesn’t matter, I can be Cheng Yu’s little husband!

The more Cheng Xiaoba thought about it, the tighter his brows furrowed. He couldn't help but feel a little irritated. It would be great if his sister didn't have to get married!

At this time, Yuwen Jue suddenly said: "Xiao Ba, my sister will get married eventually. In fact, I have a suggestion."

"What suggestions?" Cheng Xiaoba looked at Yuwen Jue and asked puzzledly.

Yuwen Jue hesitated for a moment, then said seriously: "Two brothers, look at me, am I qualified to be your brother-in-law? Because I...~ I can give Cheng Yu such a life!

When Xiao Yuer grows up and wants to get married, please consider me first. I have money!

I can still give her love, respect and freedom. No matter how she is in the Cheng family, she will be the same in our Yuwen family!

I will never let my family bully or humiliate her! She will never be wronged by me!"

Having seen enough of his mother being bullied by the old hag from the Cao family, he naturally would not repeat the same mistake. After all, if he and Cheng Yu got married in the future, his and Cheng Yu's small home would be the one he would protect!

"Yuwen Jue, you are only ten years old this year, don't think too much! My sister is still young! She can still play at home for a long time!

Moreover, I treat you as a brother, but you want to kidnap my sister!" Cheng Xiaoba widened his eyes and looked at Yuwen Jue in surprise.

"Yes, what do you, a little kid, know about love? Let's talk about it later!

Besides, our family decides marriages by ourselves. If Xiao Yuer agrees to marry you, we won’t say a word!” Cheng Lixiao said a little unhappy.

In fact, what Yuwen Jue said made him feel touched. After all, all of his brothers just wanted Cheng Yu to live a good life!

But when he thought about the fact that his sister had not grown up yet, he felt like an anxious big-tailed wolf thinking about his little sister!

My mood suddenly became bad. Want to marry Xiao Yuer? You wish!

"Yes, the hair hasn't grown out yet, why think so much!!" Cheng Xiaoba said.

He completely forgot that he hasn't even grown all his hair yet!

"I'm serious. I like Xiao Yuer and I want to take care of her for the rest of my life." Yu Wen Jue said firmly.

Cheng Xiaoba was silent for a while, then slowly said: "But Xiaoyuer is our family's treasure, I can't easily hand her over to others!"

"I know, that's why I said, you must consider me first, I'll trade with you, I'll trade with you my sister!

And I promise that as long as Xiao Yuer marries me, I will treat her well and won't let her suffer any grievances." Yu Wenjue said sincerely.

A ten-year-old boy, kneeling in front of the two brothers of the Cheng family, saying that he wanted to marry a six-year-old girl from another family, seemed a bit... obscene!

But why did he do this every year? He started when he was ten years old, and continued until he married Cheng Yu at the age of nineteen, kneeling in front of Cheng Yu and repeating it again and again!

"Don't think too much. Let's talk about it later. My sister is only six years old this year! What are you thinking about!" Cheng Lixiao was so angry that he didn't want to say a word, then turned around and left the pavilion!

"Then I'll switch with you. I'll exchange my cousin Xue'er with you!" Yuwen Jue knew that Cheng Xiaoba's favorite was Cheng Yu, and the second was Murong Xue'er!

"Xue'er?" Cheng Xiaoba thought about it and decided that his sister would still be his sister. Xue'er... seemed pretty good too!

"Yes! Xue'er!"

"Ah! These little bugs are so delicious!" Murong Xueer sat on a chair and ate a whole plate of fried locusts.

"Stop eating. Look at those pimples on your face. We will go back after the locust plague is over. Uncle Yu Wang will be heartbroken then!" Cheng Yu persuaded.

Murong Xueer ate too many dry foods, which caused her face to become inflamed and she started to get many small pimples. It seems that she needs to ask Zhao Yue and the others to make some herbal tea for everyone to drink.

"No, I'm just being cute!" Murong Xueer ate the locust while continuing to catch more locusts.

Why are there fewer and fewer locusts? There are not enough to eat!

Originally, the locusts were supposed to come in overwhelming numbers, but Cheng Yu became the variable.

They burned the insect eggs on the hay on the spot. Although the insect eggs in the soil were hatched, the number was far from enough for the people of Rongguo to share, not to mention Cheng Yu's army of chickens, ducks and geese!

Cheng Yu wanted to see whether the locusts reproduced faster or people ate them faster!

"Princess Bai Ze, you see, the locusts on this mountain have almost been caught by the people!" Minister Li smiled flatteringly.

Princess Bai Ze is a wonderful person. Not only is she beautiful, but I don’t know what’s wrong with her head. Look at the children queuing in front of the big pot waiting to share the locusts, and the group of fat chickens, ducks and geese.

He swallowed his saliva. It looked delicious!

Princess Bai Ze usually set up a big pot to fry the locusts, but later she found out that the people did not have that much oil.

I started to lead everyone to roast locusts. Although the roasted locusts were not as delicious as the fried ones, they were also a snack for the children!

Cheng Jin and Cheng Shang were even more excited. They took the Ministry of Agriculture of Rong State to inspect the land everywhere. They always had a book in their hands to record the situation on the land.

Now, they have planted some corn seeds, and Princess Bai Ze also asked them to help her plant some pepper seeds to try whether they can be grown on the mountain!

"Well, let the children catch them. The weather is getting cold soon. If they catch them, dry them and put them in the cellar, they can be preserved for a long time!" Cheng Yu said with a smile.

She also wanted to get some back to Xi Province for her grandma and her family to eat. She missed her grandparents so much! No matter where she went in the future, she would bring her grandma with her!

"Oh, I miss Nannan so much! When will they come back?" said Old Mrs. Cheng with a sigh.

The main thing is that her daughter has been away for more than a year, and when she comes back, she will probably be a little girl!

"Oh, old wife, don't be sad. Xiao'er and Xiaoxiao are getting married, and they will definitely come back. We should clean the house next door as soon as possible!" Old Master Cheng patted his wife's hand and said.

I still remember the charming face of my wife when she married him. It seems like a lifetime ago now! She suffered all her life with him, but now she enjoys the blessing of having a granddaughter. My daughter is really capable!

"Yes, sweep this side, and also sweep the little princess' room, she should be back soon.

Oh no! I will sweep the little princess's room myself, you go and sweep the rest of the rooms!" Old Madam Cheng directed the servants who were sweeping the house.

When Xiao Yuer first bought it, she was embarrassed to order these people around, so she did everything herself.

When she finished and came out, she found these people kneeling on the ground. Then she realized that these people were afraid of being punished, so now she could order them around easily!

"Yes, madam!" Everyone bowed to the old lady, then dispersed and went about their own business.

We have to clean up the house quickly, because the other owners of the Cheng family are about to go home!

"Oh, so worrying!" Murong Qian rubbed his eyebrows. He now realized that it is easy to conquer the world, but difficult to keep it!

Now that Mu State has so many cities, it is too difficult to find people to govern! Rong State is not bad, and can continue to use the previous officials.

But Liguo! He didn't want any of them! Especially after his brother told him about the actions of the officials in Liguo, he hated them even more!

"Your Majesty, what are you doing?" Nangong Li, supporting her big belly, walked slowly into the Qinzheng Hall from outside with her maid.

But he found that his Majesty was in deep thought, his brows were getting tighter and tighter, so he asked.

"Ah? Li'er, why are you here?" Murong Qian stood up and walked quickly towards Nangong Li.

Doctor Tian had clearly said that she might be due in the next two days, and he had told her to rest and take care of her pregnancy in the Yangxin Palace! Why was she out again?

"Well, I heard from Xiao Pan that you haven't eaten yet at this time? So I came over to check! Xiuzhu, put down the food and leave!" Nangong Li looked at the maids and eunuchs who were still there, so he didn't say anything.

"Yes!" The people brought by Nangong Li quickly finished the job, then walked out of the Qinzheng Hall and waited for orders at the door. Xiuzhu even closed the door considerately.

"What? Have all the locusts on the mountain been caught?" Rong Che stood up from his chair in the Government Affairs Hall and asked happily.

He thought that after giving the country to Mu Guo, he would not have to worry about it anymore, but the result!

The Emperor of Mu State went too far. If he was allowed to continue to manage Rong State, the management rights of the army would be taken over by Mu State.

But, hehehe, the army is the most troublesome thing, so he is relieved a lot.

He originally thought that since the military affairs had been taken over, there should be no more problems, but a lot of messy things popped up!

There are people who are rebelling and want to deal with him? They also call him a traitor!

"Yes, there are not many locusts on the mountain, and our medicinal materials have not been damaged at all. Even the corn planted in the greenhouse by the two Lords Cheng is growing well!" said the national teacher with a smile.

He is finally going back to Mu Country. Junior brother, it’s time for us to have a reunion dinner!

Cheng Yu continued to blast locusts in the wild. Sure enough, the locusts reproduced too slowly and could not be eaten by everyone. In the past, he could catch a handful of them, but now he had to look for them specially!

Looking at the fat and strong ducks not far away, it’s time for them to go back!
