When Cheng Mingyue returned home, her two little nephews rarely went out to play.

"Xiaolong, Xiaohu, why didn't you go out to play today?"

Cheng Mingyue put down the basket on her arm and asked her two little nephews who were squatting at the gate of the yard playing with stones.

Cheng Xiaolong looked up at Cheng Mingyue, pursed his lips and said nothing.

Cheng Xiaohu said with a smile: "My mother asked us to help you light the fire at noon, so I went out to play with my brother for a while and came back."

Cheng Xiaolong also nodded.

Cheng Mingyue loved her two little nephews very much. When she was reading a book and saw that the two children were killed by Qin Lang when they were less than 10 years old, her fists hardened and she wanted to get into the book and beat that beast to death.

Now seeing two lively little guys standing in front of her, Cheng Mingyue was so happy.

Cheng Mingyue reached out and touched the two little ones' heads, whispering, "Today, your aunt will make you something delicious. I guarantee that you will drool."

Cheng Mingyue opened the gate, picked up the basket and walked in.

Cheng Xiaolong and Cheng Xiaohu were two smart little boys. They jumped into the courtyard and closed the gate carefully.

The two of them then came up to Cheng Mingyue and whispered, "Aunt, what delicious food are you going to make for lunch today?"

Cheng Mingyue didn't answer, but picked up the wild vegetables and took out a fat rabbit from the basket.

"rabbit!"

"It's a rabbit!"

The two little ones screamed in surprise, but they covered their mouths in fear as if they were afraid that others would hear them.

Cheng Mingyue was so touched by the cute looks of her two little nephews that she couldn't help but rub the tops of their heads.

Cheng Mingyue was afraid that when she killed the rabbit, the two children would see the bloody scene, so she told the two kids to water the vegetable garden. She went to the backyard with a kitchen knife in one hand and the rabbit in the other.

Speaking of which, Cheng Mingyue had never killed a rabbit before. She had only killed chickens, ducks, geese and fish before, but she was not worried at all.

As the saying goes, if you understand one thing, you will understand all things.

Just as Cheng Mingyue thought, it was a piece of cake and she had finished dealing with the rabbit in no time.

Cheng Mingyue cleaned the rabbit meat, put it in a large basin, sprinkled salt on it and marinated it, then started to do other things.

Cheng Mingyue plans to make sweet potato rice as the main course today, and also braised rabbit meat, cold potato shreds, and hot and sour cabbage.

Sweet potato rice is very simple to make. Wash the sweet potatoes, peel them, cut them into small pieces, add them to the washed brown rice, and steam them together in a pot.

With two little ones helping to light the fire today, Cheng Mingyue was more efficient in cooking, and the sweet potato rice was in the pot in no time.

While the rice was steaming, Cheng Mingyue put the wild rabbit on the chopping board and chopped it into even small pieces. She also chopped the shredded potatoes, cabbage, and a small amount of onion, ginger, and garlic and set them aside.

Cheng Mingyue discovered that everyone in her family had a strong taste for food, and sour and spicy food was their favorite. Even Lu Chen had the same strong taste.

As long as the taste is consistent, there will be less trouble.

Cheng Mingyue took out the steamed sweet potato rice and casually poured the shredded potatoes into the pot and started blanching.

Wait until the shredded potatoes are cooked, then take them out, make some juice and serve it cold.

Cheng Mingyue cooks very casually. She cleans the pot, pours in a little oil, stir-fries the spicy and sour cabbage first, and puts it on a plate.

Next is the highlight of today, braised rabbit meat.

Pour a little oil into the pot, sauté the onion and garlic, add the rabbit meat, stir-fry, add the red pepper segments when the rabbit meat changes color, continue to stir-fry, add salt and seasonings when it is almost cooked, stir well, add more than half a bowl of water, cover the pot and bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat, poke with chopsticks, and collect the juice when it is soft.

Because Cheng Mingyue had secretly added a drop of spiritual spring water to the rabbit meat when she was stir-frying it just now, the whole kitchen was filled with the aroma of meat the moment the lid of the pot was lifted.

That domineering.

That's sweet.

Cheng Xiaolong and Cheng Xiaohu, two little greedy cats, kept sniffing their noses, and they looked as adorable as they could be.

When Cheng Mingyue saw the two little guys blinking their big wet eyes and looking at her pitifully, her heart softened.

She asked her two nephews to wash their faces and hands, then she picked out two rabbit legs and put them in a bowl, and helped them bring it to the dining table.

"Eat slowly, be careful of the heat."

Before Cheng Mingyue could finish her words, the two little guys had already stretched out their hands, tentatively dipped some oil in them and put them in their mouths.

After sucking their fingers, the two little ones started to flatter Cheng Mingyue.

"Aunt, your cooking is so delicious."

"Yes, it's even better than the food cooked by the chef at the state-owned restaurant in town."

“…”

Cheng Mingyue couldn't help laughing.

The two little guys haven't been to town many times, but they are just talking nonsense here. I don't know who heard this sentence, but I wrote it down and now I'm using it on her.

Seeing Cheng Mingyue smiling happily, the two little guys thought that their flattery had worked, and they gnawed on the rabbit legs happily, their eyes curved into crescent shapes.

After a while, the sound of Wang Guihua and others knocking on the door was heard outside the courtyard gate. Cheng Mingyue quickly stepped forward and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, Wang Guihua couldn't wait to ask, "Yue'er, what did you do today? Why does it smell so good?!"

Cheng Mingyue let the three of them into the yard, closed the gate, and then said, "Mom, I was lucky today. When I went up the mountain to dig wild vegetables, I happened to see a rabbit that had crashed into a tree and died. I picked it up and brought it back. Look, I just made a pot of braised rabbit meat."

After saying that, Cheng Mingyue pulled the three of them into the kitchen, picked up some rabbit meat with chopsticks and stuffed a piece into each of their mouths. She asked with sparkling eyes, "How is it? Is it delicious?"

"Amazing! Yue'er, your cooking skills are even better than those of the chefs in town!" Zhang Lan praised vaguely while chewing the fragrant rabbit meat.

"That's right, Yue'er, I'm not just praising you, you really are like this!" After saying this, Zhang Hongying gave Cheng Mingyue a thumbs up.

Although Wang Guihua didn't say anything, she couldn't hide the smile on her lips.

Cheng Mingyue's eyes lit up after receiving the praise from the three people. She smiled and took Wang Guihua's hand and said:

"Mom, I made sweet potato rice today. It's okay to keep it for a while. Why don't we wait until we're done eating before we go take the food to Dad and my brother."

"Okay, let's eat first." Wang Guihua agreed immediately.

Anyway, the meal is already ready at their house, so it’s not too late to deliver it after they finish eating.

They first took out a portion of meat and vegetables, and after serving them on the table, everyone chatted and ate happily.

They didn't talk about anything important, mostly just praising Cheng Mingyue for her delicious cooking.

After the adults praised, the children praised, and after the children praised, the adults took over. They praised Cheng Mingyue until her ears turned red, and then they stopped.
