Game World: Am I a toy of the system?

Although Yao Muzhao really wanted to know what her father had said to the old man, her adoptive father's many years of upbringing had prevented her from doing anything like trying to overhear.

He walked to the center of the yard, looked at Xiao Luo squatting on the ground applying cold water to her face, and Chen Xi boiling eggs in the kitchen, hesitated for a moment, and walked towards the kitchen.

Looking at the little girl squatting in front of the stove watching the fire.

Oh, Chen Xi is actually several years older than her, but just looks younger.

For some reason, Yao Muzhao suddenly had an idea in his mind. Could it be that this is what his father liked?

Even when my father got older, his wife still looked petite and cute, just like an old man and a young wife.

Come to think of it, it’s quite interesting.

Yao Muchao originally wanted to say a few words to Chen Xi, but suddenly lost interest. He turned and walked towards the gate, told his attendant to get the ointment, then returned to the center of the yard and waited for the door to open.

After the eggs were cooked, Chen Xi called Xiao Luo in and taught her how to roll dough with the eggs.

Then he scooped out the extra eggs, let them cool a little, peeled the eggshells, cut them into two halves and put them into a bowl, then he carried the eggs out of the kitchen.

When Chen Xi walked to the door, he was wondering why it was closed.

Grandpa Chen opened the door from the inside and saw his granddaughter standing outside. He was stunned for a moment, then his eyes flickered a few times and he said solemnly: "The food is almost cold, come in and eat."

Chen Xi felt that his grandfather was a little strange, but without thinking too much, he walked in and put the eggs on the table.

The door opened and Yao Muchao walked in. Seeing that the wine bowl on the table was empty, he picked up the wine jug and filled it up, then continued to stand by without sitting down.

Seeing this, Chen Xi did not dare to sit down. However, Grandpa Chen, who was afraid of Yao Jun and Yao Muchao before, walked to the table and sat down very naturally. He picked up the wine bowl and took a sip, and then chatted with Yao Jun about family matters.

Blinking his confused eyes, Chen Xi couldn't understand what was going on. While they were cooking eggs outside, their relationship had become so good?

Moreover, the door was closed just now, and Yao Muchao had just come in from outside, which means that only Grandpa and Yao Jun were in the house before.

They must have talked about something that caused grandpa to become like this!

What was said? Chen Xi was very curious.

Just as Yao Muchao was refilling the wine glass, Xiao Luo came in with an egg rolled on her face. Yao Jun said, "Let's sit down and eat together."

Grandpa Chen looked at his granddaughter and Xiao Luo and said, "Xixi, sit down and eat first. We'll cook the dumplings when it's almost done."

Grandpa had changed so much that Chen Xi was a little uncomfortable with it.

But no matter what, this is a good change. In the future, the grandfather and grandson will probably meet Yao Jun more often, and it is not good to be worried and afraid all the time.

Looking at Yao Jun with a little gratitude, Chen Xi pulled Xiao Luo to sit next to his grandfather. Yao Muchao also put down the wine jar and sat next to Yao Jun.

There is a plate of golden fried fish on the table. It is fried in large oil. It should be eaten while hot. It will be too greasy when it is cold, and you can't eat too much.

Yao Jun picked up a piece and put it in Yao Muzhao's bowl, "Try the dish made by your aunt Xi. This is delicious. The outer shell is crispy and the inside is tender. I don't know how it is made."

Yao Muchao felt like he was struck by lightning. In such a short while, Chen Xi became his aunt?

Chen Xi was also confused. Although Yao Muchao looked young, she was not that old either. She was only 23 years old this year. How could she be an aunt?

Yao Jun and Grandpa Chen looked at each other and smiled. Without any explanation, they continued to talk about family matters and life.

Seeing this, Chen Xi didn't ask any more questions, so he picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of fried fish for Xiao Luo, saying, "This should be eaten while it's hot. It won't be good if it gets cold."

The most common cooking methods of this era were roasting and boiling, although frying was also available, it was rarely used and was not a cooking method that ordinary people could enjoy.

The slap marks on Xiao Luo's face have improved a lot after hot compress. Although it still hurts a little, at least she can eat now.

I picked up the golden fried fish and took a bite. The crispy shell made a crackling sound when I bit it, and then the soft, tender and fragrant fish meat was a very novel experience, different from boiled or grilled fish.

"good to eat!"

Although Xiao Luo also secretly ate some fish when Chen Xi was frying fish in the kitchen, she found it extremely delicious every time she ate it and couldn't stop.

Because Yao Jun and Yao Muchao were at the table, Chen Xi decided to take care of Xiao Luo. After all, she was a maid and was originally not allowed to sit at the table, so she was now very restrained.

After all, the fried fish in the bowl was given to him by his dear father. Even if it was poisoned, Yao Muchao could eat it, so she was more straightforward and decisive.

When the crunching sound came, her heart trembled, and a desire from the bottom of her heart surged up, telling her not to stop eating. One fried fish after another went into her mouth.

Seeing this, Yao Jun hurriedly picked up a few and shared them with Grandpa Chen, Chen Xi and the other two, to prevent them from being eaten up by this unsophisticated adopted son.

Yao Jun picked up a piece of lotus leaf chicken breast with chopsticks and put it into his adopted son's bowl and said, "Don't just eat that, try this chicken, it's also very delicious."

Then Yao Jun ignored him and got himself a chicken wing and a chicken drumstick.

Looking at his actions, Chen Xi rolled his eyes. He ate chicken wings and chicken legs himself and gave chicken breast to his son. He was really great!

Worried that they would all be eaten by this bad guy, Chen Xi quickly picked up a chicken wing for his grandfather, and put the last chicken leg into his own bowl. After opening it, he gave some chicken leg meat to Xiao Luo.

Yao Muchao, who was completely unaware, finished the fried fish in his hand, picked up the chicken in the bowl and put it into his mouth. The tender chicken seemed to melt in his mouth and had the fragrance of lotus leaves.

"good to eat!"

Yao Muchao stared with eyes wide open, sparkling, as she looked at Chen Xi opposite her. An idea flashed through her mind. It would not be impossible for her to be his stepmother. Then she could eat whatever she wanted!

Chen Xi felt a little embarrassed when he looked at her, so she lowered her head and picked up a small piece of the chicken leg meat in the bowl and put it into her mouth.

Yao Jun ate the chicken wings in his hand, glanced at his adopted son, and curled the corners of his mouth.

Yao Muchao, who was conquered by the fried fish and lotus leaf chicken, also let go. He picked up the chopsticks and couldn't stop. His mouth and bowl were filled with food, and he kept muttering that they were delicious.

"You're useless!" Yao Jun scolded with a smile, picked up the wine bowl and took a sip with Grandpa Chen, then told him about the interesting things he had seen and heard in various places.

Yao Muchao turned a deaf ear and continued eating like crazy. He didn't even realize that he could eat so much.

Chen Xi ate more slowly because she had to take care of Xiao Luo, but she cooked a lot of dishes today, in large quantities, enough to feed several people and still have some left over.

In the afternoon, Chen Xi prepared eight dishes, one soup, and the staple food dumplings. They haven't been cooked yet, so let's eat the dishes first.

In addition to the lion's head and mutton meatball soup that I had thought of a long time ago, there are also fried fish, lotus leaf chicken, stir-fried vegetables, cold cabbage, stir-fried eel shreds, braised beef, and mutton and beef slices.

Chen Xi also braised pig's and sheep's heads, but due to time constraints, they can only be eaten early tomorrow morning. After dinner, he also plans to make some pork skin jelly.

Chen Xi still didn't know whether he could conquer Yao Jun's appetite, but Yao Muchao looked like a starving ghost, which showed that he was definitely conquered.

After three rounds of drinks, Chen Xi and Xiao Luo were half full, so they got up and went to the kitchen to cook dumplings.

After a while, two large bowls of dumplings with round bellies were served on the table. Xiao Luo placed a condiment dish in front of each person and poured plum vinegar on it.

Chen Xi introduced: "This is dumplings, also known as flatbreads. This bowl is filled with leeks and eggs, and I also put some river shrimp in it."

"This bowl of dumplings is stuffed with beef and carrots."

Yao Jun ate one as if he had never eaten it before, then praised contentedly: "Xiao Xi's cooking skills are amazing, it's worth every penny!"

Yao Muchao's mouth was full and he was no longer angry about the 10% profit. He even nodded in agreement.

Chen Xi maintained a reserved smile, but in her heart she cursed the two of them for being old-fashioned and ignorant.

I was planning to ask Yao Jun to find a craftsman to make a frying pan so that I could make fried dumplings and buns.
