As soon as Chen said this, combined with Zheng's previous quarrels and indirect accusations, Shen Cui roughly understood what she meant.
You know what, this is a bit difficult to handle.
First of all, Chen Cui was a loner in her previous life and had no experience in dealing with relatives.
Then Mu Erpang became the apprentice and the old house was renovated, and the two elder brothers of the Shen family contributed a lot.
But favors are favors, and she certainly couldn't let her nephew in to study just to repay the favor - Zheng had observed it, and she had also observed it, that the two boys of the Shen family were both born after Mu Erpang, the older one was called Shuanzi, born to Chen, and was eight years old. The other younger one was born to Li and his name was Zhuzi. He was just six years old. They are two naughty monkeys who can play with mud for half a day.
Moreover, at the beginning, the system arranged a potential partner for her based on the original body's family relationships.
Even Mu Erpang, who was still not very intelligent at that time, could become a candidate, but these two children failed. It can be seen that these two children are completely unlucky in their studies.
Such words would hurt feelings if said bluntly, especially since the whole Shen family was present. Shen Cui was hesitating on her words and naturally did not notice that her eldest nephew's hand had already reached for the casserole lid.
Lao Buyu only said "No", but it was too late. The moment the casserole was unplugged, a complex and unpleasant smell came out.
Chen Cui and Mu Erpang had seen stinky tofu fresh out of the pot before, so they naturally remained calm.
Wei Xi already knew about it in advance, so he was not affected much.
On the other hand, the other members of the Shen family all changed their expressions, some covered their noses, and some fanned themselves.
Zheng, who usually loved Chen Cui the most, felt nauseous at this moment and quickly turned her eyes away.
Children, in particular, have the most acute sense of smell. After they unbolt the lid of the casserole, they immediately slam the lid back on with a loud bang, shouting “It stinks, it stinks!”
So the words that Chen wanted to say were held back in her throat. She glared at Shuanzi in disapproval, "The adults are talking here, why are you interrupting?!"
Shuanzi shrank his neck when he was scolded, and whispered in defense: "I, I didn't do anything. Besides, this was brought by my aunt, why are you scolding me?"
Since it was going to be given to Lao Buyu and the two children to drink soon anyway, Shen Cui didn't pretend anymore and directly opened the lid of the casserole again.
Then the pale green vomit immediately appeared in front of everyone.
The adults were better off. When Shuanzi and Zhuzi saw this, they immediately screamed, jumped off the bench and ran away.
Chen smiled awkwardly, "Didn't mother tell you to take a rest? Why did you specially make such a pot... such a pot..."
"It's dumpling soup." Shen Cui took a big spoon and stirred it. "It's a happy day today. Eating dumplings on a happy day is very appropriate."
Even though Chen just wanted to flatter Chen Cui at the moment, she didn't know what to take when she saw the sticky pot.
"Come on, everyone, drink a bowl, and I'll take it after you finish."
Although Lao Buyu said earlier that he wanted to eat this after dinner, the lid of the pot had already been opened, which affected everyone's appetite, so they just finished drinking it.
As for the products produced by the system, once they enter the stomach, their taste will be gone.
Mu Erpang and Wei Xi immediately handed over their bowls obediently.
Lao Buyu had long since accepted his inevitable fate, so he sighed, picked up the small bowl in front of him, and handed it to Shen Cui.
Shen Cui poured a small bowl for each person and handed it back to them one by one.
The Shen family members who were sitting at the dinner table couldn't bear it and looked at Zheng.
After all, Zheng is the head of the family. As long as she gives the order, Shen Cui will naturally not give such things to people to eat.
Zheng pretended not to notice, swallowed her saliva and held back her nausea, and said, "What are you looking at? You guys want to drink too?"
The Shen family then looked away and stopped looking.
Wei Xi still felt that it was because he didn't control the fire well, which turned the cute white dumplings into the horrible soup in front of him.
So even though the dumpling soup smelled bad and looked horrible, he still closed his eyes, picked up the small bowl, and before he could taste the flavor, he skipped even chewing and drank it all in one gulp.
After drinking it, he covered his mouth with his sleeve and coughed lightly, waiting quietly for the taste to come back. At the same time, he told himself that no matter how disgusting it was, he couldn't spit it out in front of others, so as not to hurt Madam Mu's feelings.
In this regard, Wei Xi is quite confident, because he has been used to taking various kinds of medicine since he was a child, so he believes that he can endure more than ordinary people.
However, to his surprise, after he drank the dumpling soup, there was no disgusting smell coming back to him. It just tasted like ordinary vegetable soup. It's a bit floury and oily, not very tasty, but compared with the bitter medicine, it's nothing.
Seeing that he had moved, Lao Buyu and Mu Erpang naturally stopped dawdling and they both quickly finished the small bowl.
Mu Erpang was the one who had the strongest tolerance for Shen Cui's cooking. After eating, his eyes lit up and he praised sincerely, "What mom cooked this time is not bad at all!"
The two students were so hardworking that Lao Buyu, the teacher, naturally didn't want to be left behind and reluctantly agreed, "It's really not bad."
At least he managed to hold back and not vomit!
【System prompt: Training subject No. 1’s emotional intelligence +1, training subject No. 2’s physical fitness +1. 】
Chen Cui curved her lips and covered the casserole with the lid, without any shyness or embarrassment, and said with a smile: "Right, I said my cooking skills will improve, and I will cook for you often in the future."
Lao Buyu glanced at the other people at the table. He didn't feel comfortable humiliating Shen Cui in front of others, so he smiled awkwardly twice as a sign of his agreement.
Later, Chen Cui brought the casserole into the kitchen to prevent this ugly-looking thing from continuing to affect everyone's appetite.
As soon as she entered, Zheng followed her in.
Now that only the mother and daughter were there, Zheng stopped pretending to be angry and said cheerfully, "No wonder people say that reading makes people smart. You have indeed become much smarter after being influenced by it for a few days. Fortunately, you made this pot of food, otherwise your sister-in-law would have said those things at the dinner table. You couldn't agree or not. This interruption has blocked her words. I'll tell you this once, you must not agree to your sister-in-law's request to let Shuanzi and Zhuzi study."
Shen Cui nodded naturally.
Later, Zheng went out again immediately. She was afraid that Chen was still not giving up and would skip Chen Cui and go directly to talk to Lao Buyu, so she had to keep an eye on her outside.
Shen Cui did not leave, not because she was worried about not being able to deal with the sister-in-law, but because the system was wondering -
[Didn’t Master Lao and the two children finish their each bowl? Why hasn't this task been completed yet? Are they not eating enough? 】
The system laughed like a real person, and it laughed several times before it stopped laughing. It replied while holding back its laughter: [Host, please read the task carefully. 'Please ask the dean to prepare a delicious meal for the whole academy.' 】
[Just for this one sentence, should I read it carefully? 】Chen Cui and the system grumbled, and then quickly got stuck for a while, [Don't tell me that 'the whole academy' also includes me, the headmaster. 】
The system is still laughing: [Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you. Everyone in the academy is united and shares weal and woe. As the headmaster, the host must take responsibility, right? It's shameful to waste food. Please finish the remaining dumplings...and soup. 】
What else can Shen Cui say? So I had to open the casserole again.
…………
As Zheng said, Chen has indeed not given up.
The people at the table at the back asked Lao Buyu to start eating first, and the meal began.
Chen used the excuse of feeding her son, picked up some dishes and went to catch Shuanzi.
Children are forgetful, and they hid behind, so they didn't see Lao Buyu and Mu Erpang drinking the dumpling soup. Shuanzi and Shuanzi chased each other in the yard for a while, and they almost forgot the disgusting scene they just saw.
Seeing his mother bringing some dishes over, Shuanzi immediately walked up to her, opened his mouth and said he was hungry.
While feeding him food, Chen whispered in his ear, "What did your mother teach you when she was home? I told you to get closer to your aunt, but you only care about playing. Have you forgotten everything?"
Shuanzi ate the meat in big mouthfuls and said vaguely, "I haven't forgotten! But mother... Auntie's cooking is so smelly and disgusting, I don't want to eat it! I'm scared!"
Chen glared at him unhappily and said, "What are you afraid of?"
After scolding her, she continued to advise: "Your aunt has been lazy since she was a child. She can only cook a few times a year."
"But Auntie said to do it more often in the future..."
"Your aunt made it for your husband and your brother, and she didn't ask you to eat it. Look, your aunt herself doesn't eat that stuff, so why are you afraid? As long as she doesn't eat it, you won't eat it either!"
Chen knew that Zheng had noticed her. Although she had mentioned it briefly at first, Zheng's eyes had never left her since she was interrupted by the dumpling soup.
Until now, she hasn't been able to say a word to Lao Buyu.
If she did anything else, there was no telling how Zheng would deal with her.
But children are different. Zheng loves her younger generation. As long as Shuanzi takes the initiative to ask, Zheng will not blame him. Moreover, Chen Cui is his aunt, so it is even more difficult to refuse.
Therefore, Chen was extra patient and continued to coax him, "Look, your cousins are studying, and today we have cooked so many delicious dishes at home. There will be more delicious things in the future than today's dishes, too many to count. Don't you want to live like that?"
No one knows a child better than his mother. Shuanzi is also a little greedy cat.
In his heart, he didn't want to study, but when he thought about studying and eating delicious food, he nodded and said, "Then I'll go find my aunt now!"
Chen smiled and said, "This is my good son. If you behave well today, I will buy you two strings of candied haws when I go home today, the ones with the thickest sugar coating and the biggest hawthorns!"
As she spoke, Chen noticed that Zheng was glaring at her, so she put away her dishes and chopsticks, pushed the latch towards the kitchen, and then quickly turned around and returned to the dining table.
Shuanzi went over in his mind what Chen had taught him again, then skipped into the kitchen.
At this time, Chen Cui in the kitchen thought that she had to finish the remaining half of the pot anyway, so she didn't take another bowl. She just used a big spoon to scoop out a lump of brown-green, sticky stuff from the casserole and put it into her mouth.
Because she ate quickly, the brown-green soup seeped onto her lips, leaving a strangely colored stain.
This was the scene Shuanzi saw when he came in. He almost forgot his mother's last name, not to mention the words she taught him. He was stunned on the spot, and asked with trembling lips: "Aunt, you, you, you...what are you doing?"
Chen Cui heard Chen's words from outside in the kitchen, and smiled at Shuanzi, "Eat dumpling soup. Everyone in our academy should eat it. Shuanzi, do you want to..."
Shuanzi didn't wait for her to finish, turned around and vomited with a "wow"!
