After the figures in the dark left one person on guard, the others rushed into the field and began to search for the potato seeds that had just been planted that day.

They had just turned over half an acre of land when they were discovered by Cheng Ming who was on patrol.

"Who are you and what are you doing here so late at night?"

"Someone is coming, run, run!" Several people turned around and ran, holding the seeds they had dug out.

Cheng Ming and his companions chased after them with torches, but because they were not familiar with the terrain and it was dark, they soon lost them.

"Let's split up and search for him. We must find him."

Several people searched around separately, but after searching around, no one found the thieves.

Cheng Ming had no choice but to return to the fields to check the damage.

Maybe they arrived in time, and those people only had time to dig about half an acre of potatoes, but there were no other problems.

"Everyone should be vigilant. We have worked hard to plant these seeds. We must not allow them to be persecuted again."

"good."

Cheng Yang looked at the dark field and frowned tightly.

There weren't many fields damaged, so he would just have to do less repairs tomorrow. He was more worried about those thieves.

The potato seeds were definitely not dug up for planting. If they had that intention, they would not have come to steal them in the middle of the night. However, potato sprouts are poisonous if eaten, and he was worried that if those people were poisoned, they would come and blame him.

It was already very late, and Cheng Ming could only wait until tomorrow to go back and report the matter to Su Ying.

Su Ying woke up when it was just getting light.

She likes to practice qigong in the morning, which makes her feel energetic throughout the day.

She sat cross-legged on the roof and saw Cheng Ming and others coming back.

When they reached the gate of the courtyard, Su Ying had already opened it.

“I’m back.”

Cheng Ming looked at Su Ying with some surprise, "Madam, did you not sleep all night?"

Su Ying said: "I slept and woke up early."

"You didn't get enough rest last night, so go and rest for a while. Aunt Jiang and I will go over to look after the fields."

"I have something to report to my lady."

"you say."

"There were thieves in the fields last night. They stole potato seeds. We chased them, but we couldn't catch them."

"How much did you steal?"

"About half an acre of land."

Su Ying nodded, indicating that she understood, "It won't be long before these people come to our door, go and have a rest."

Seeing that Su Ying looked clear-headed, Cheng Ming thought she had figured out what was going on, so he went back to his room to rest.

Uncle He and his friends got up early in the morning to prepare breakfast.

Su Ying washed up and went to help.

"Ma'am, let us do these things. You don't have to get your hands dirty."

Su Ying was very interested in cooking. "Uncle He, I think I have a lot of talent. Let me try today."

He Shouyi saw that Su Ying was very enthusiastic, so he didn't discourage her. "Then Madam, please make pancakes today. I'll make some pickles and some minced meat. Today we'll have pancakes and a big pot of corn porridge."

Su Ying nodded, indicating that she had no objection.

He Shouyi brought the flour over and said, "Madam, the most important thing to make pancakes is kneading the dough. If you knead the dough well, I will tell you what to do next."

"No problem, Uncle He, just wait."

Su Ying was very interested and followed He Shouyi's example by slowly pouring the water in the bowl into the flour.

Seeing that she was doing a good job, He Shouyi went to do other things.

Bai Shuang came back from cutting wild vegetables and saw Su Ying working hard on something. She walked over to take a look out of curiosity.

It would have been fine if I hadn't seen it, but once I did I was stunned.

What...is this thing?

"Ma'am, what are you playing at?"

Su Ying's expression was very serious. She swore that she was not always so focused and calm when she was practicing martial arts. "Knead the dough."

Bai Shuang looked at the mess in the basin and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "How about I do it?"

Su Ying looked at her hands covered in flour, feeling a little frustrated. "Bai Shuang, I leave it to you! I'll make pancakes later. I think I must be able to make pancakes."

Bai Shuang nodded uncertainly, "If the madam says so, then it is."

After Bai Shuang quickly kneaded the dough and let it rest, Su Ying floated over like a ghost.

"Bai Shuang, here I come!"

Bai Frost was so frightened that she could only stand aside. "Madam, you must pay attention to the heat when you fry the pancakes. Before putting the dough in, brush a thin layer of oil with a bamboo brush. This way, the pancakes will taste good."

"no problem."

Su Ying tinkered with it with great confidence.

"Madam, please pay attention to the pancakes. They need to be turned over."

"Oops, I forgot to oil it."

"Madam, this is not cooked yet..."

A quarter of an hour later, Su Ying returned to the main room and sat down.

Xiao Jin saw that her face was covered with flour, so he reached out and wiped the powder off the corners of her eyes. "What were you doing?"

Su Ying said mysteriously: "Discover my new potential."

Xiao Jin's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad feeling in his heart...

Not long after, Bai Shuang walked in with a strange look on her face, carrying a large plate of pancakes.

"Aunt Baishuang, why is this pancake black? It's so black and sticky, can it be eaten?" Erbao's little face showed a hint of disgust and question.

Bai Shuang smiled reluctantly, "Yes, I can just tear off the black layer on the outside..." That should be enough...

Su Ying grabbed a piece of pancake and put it into Xiao Jin's bowl, looking straight at him with her phoenix eyes, "Try it."

Xiao Jin looked at the pancake in the bowl that was still black from the bottom of the pot. He picked up the chopsticks and scraped off the darkest layer on the pancake before taking a bite.

As soon as the biscuit entered his mouth, a bitter taste between his lips and teeth corroded his taste buds. Xiao Jin stopped chewing and swallowed the biscuit that was stuck in his throat with difficulty.

Facing Su Ying's expectant eyes, Xiao Jin said against his will: "Okay."

"Really?" Su Ying's eyes lit up. She also took a pancake, removed the black skin on it and said, "I knew it was good, but it doesn't look good." She smiled and took a big bite.

Unexpectedly, she spat it out before chewing it, and her face wrinkled with bitterness.

"Why is it bitter? Xiao Jin, there must be something wrong with your mouth. You actually think it's ok!"

Xiao Jin: “…” So what were you expecting when I was eating?

Su Ying put the pancake aside with a look of disgust, took the porridge beside her and started eating.

Erbao silently pushed the black pancake in front of her away, and said, "Mom, please don't let her eat it."

Su Ying's attempt at cooking ended in failure. She confessed that she had wasted a large bowl of flour, so in order not to really waste food, she made generous plans.

"Feed it to the dog later."

The dog lying in the yard raised its fur and looked around vigilantly, feeling that there was a dangerous aura approaching!
