If you want to survive after transmigrating, become the male protagonist's new mother.

The two lingered in the garden for a while longer.

Pei Yuening nestled in Luo Ren's arms and refused to move. Luo Ren didn't urge him; he just stood quietly with his arms around Pei Yuening's waist.

The sun gradually rose higher, making the garden path scorching hot, until finally it was time to leave.

Luo Ren escorted Pei Yuening to the entrance of the Duke's mansion.

He originally wanted to accompany her personally, but Pei Yuening refused because he was afraid that Ye Jiyun would dislike him.

The carriage came to a stop.

Pei Yuening sighed, frowned, and kissed Luo Ren.

"Shall I go then?"

Luo Ren took his hand: "Wait."

As he spoke, he took out a small brocade box from his pocket.

He slowly opened it in front of Pei Yuening.

Pei Yuening glanced at it and was almost blinded by the beautiful teardrop-shaped diamond.

Inside was a royal diamond ring, far more valuable than even modern fancy vivid diamonds worth tens of millions.

Luo Ren didn't say much, but simply took his left hand and carefully slipped the ring onto his ring finger.

The ring was the perfect size, and Luo Ren lowered his head to place a gentle kiss on the back of his fair hand.

"You're a perfect match."

Pei Yuening moved her lips: "You... why did you suddenly..."

"It should have been given long ago," Luo Ren said.

Pei Yuening couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He pulled his hand back to his chest, then quickly leaned over and kissed Luo Ren on the corner of his mouth before turning and getting into the carriage.

Luo Ren stood there watching them go, a smile still playing on his lips.

The Duke of Winston's House.

Pei Yuening got off the carriage and peered cautiously into the gate.

The butler came out to greet him: "Young Master, you're back."

"Where's my brother?" Pei Yuening asked in a breathy voice.

"His Excellency the Duke has not yet returned to the manor."

Pei Yuening breathed a long sigh of relief and subconsciously patted her chest: "Oh...that's great."

The butler's gaze lingered on his fingertips before quickly shifting away.

Pei Yuening jogged into the room, changed her shoes, and headed towards the kitchen.

Since I've decided to be lazy, I might as well take advantage of my current good cooking skills and quickly make some delicious food.

The kitchen was still fully stocked with ingredients.

Every day, the family has servants who are responsible for purchasing fresh vegetables and monster meat, but ever since Pei Yuening began to express his disgust for human and pig meat from time to time, it has never appeared in the warehouse again.

Pei Yuening tied on her apron, her mind racing.

However, he decided to write a recipe first.

Now that he has figured out his own identity, since he is not the cannon fodder who was hanged in the original story, he no longer needs to worry too much.

For example, that gluttonous little emperor in the palace.

It's quite tiring for the servants to run halfway through the city every day. It would be better to write a recipe and have Qin Shuxing put pressure on the imperial chefs, so that at least one less mouth to feed.

Of course, I'll only write about main meals.

Anyway, he always makes a large portion of desserts, which he then has his servants deliver.

Given the current situation (referring to Pei Yuening having N demon kings protecting him), all I need to do is occasionally cultivate goodwill with him, and that will be enough.

So, Pei Yuening found a clean piece of paper, laid it on the counter, took out a crystal quill pen from his breast pocket, and began to write carefully.

These are all everyday dishes that go well with rice.

They have everything: Kung Pao Chicken, Shredded Pork with Garlic Sauce, even Fried Rice with Egg and Sweet and Sour Pork with Pineapple.

That's enough to make him grow into a giant.

He wrote it down carefully, even noting the cooking time and duration.

After finishing the recipe, Pei Yuening gave it to the steward and instructed him to personally deliver it to the palace.

After watching him leave, Pei Yuening returned to the kitchen, took off the ring and carefully put it in her pocket, then began to knead the dough.

Dumplings, wontons, shumai, steamed buns, milk steamed buns, and sliced ​​pumpkin.

He prepares whatever he wants to eat, meticulously preparing each ingredient one by one.

Some can be made with the same dough, so it's not particularly complicated.

While waiting for the dough to rise, he began preparing the filling.

The ground beef and shrimp paste are seasoned separately, and the tofu is crumbled and mixed with shredded cabbage to make a vegetarian version.

There was also glutinous rice, which he mixed with diced mushrooms while marinating.

The aroma of wheat flour gradually filled the kitchen, mixed with the savory flavor of minced meat, and the fragrance could be smelled for miles as soon as the window was opened.

Gao Gao and Juan Juan were playing in the garden, but after taking a sniff, they suddenly appeared at the kitchen doorway.

They peered over the doorframe, asking, "Master, what delicious food are you making?"

"Pastries."

Wow!! It smells so good!

Not long after, Egg rolled in too.

Snowballs were still clinging to his round body, and the two creatures were sitting together on the edge of the cutting board.

Gao Gao and Juan Juan hovered in mid-air, looking more and more fun.

"Master! Do you need help?"

"If you all keep quiet, you're helping me." Pei Yuening said without looking up.

That's what they said, but ultimately no one cared.

Gao Gao started kneading the glutinous rice in the bowl with her hands, while Dan Dan simply rolled around on the flour-covered table.

Then it turned into a white, fluffy glutinous rice ball.

Juanjuan even directly caused trouble right next to Pei Yuening.

Pei Yuening, unable to bear it any longer, could only grab a lump of dough from each of them and stuff it into their arms: "Go play over there, don't touch my table."

"Okay!"

They happily flew to the corner of the kitchen with a lump of dough in their hands, with only the most obedient Snowball keeping them company.

Occasionally, they would even use the cleaned forelegs to help Pei Yuening knead dough.

Pei Yuening thought it would finally be quiet, but after a short while, the sound of flour puffs rustling and Gao Gao's screams came from the corner.

"Egg, you hit me in the face!"

"You hit me with that egg first!"

"I don't!"

"You have!"

"Grandma Li's!" Gao Gao scooped up a handful of flour: "Fried up!!"

However, Juanjuan was accidentally injured.

"Damn it! You shrew, Gao Gao!"

Then they started fighting.

"I'll unleash it again!"

"I'll smash you to death! Drop it!"

"Damn it! This is choking me to death!"

……

Pei Yuening ignored him and continued rolling out the dough.

To make room for him, Snowball obediently stepped onto the low stool next to him.

It straightened its upper body and rested its chin on its two front hooves: "Wow! Brother... there's milk."

"What's wrong? Do you want a drink?"

Snowball shook his head: "No... I won't drink... Mother, I already fed her when I came back this morning."

"Okay, okay, then you should let me know if you're hungry."

"Um!"

Outside, the servants were all bowing towards the door.

"Your Grace, welcome back."

Ye Jiyun nodded slightly: "Mm."

He stopped a maid and casually asked, "Where is the young master?"

"Yes, sir, it's in the kitchen."

Ye Jiyun nodded: "Okay."

He handed his coat to the servant and walked slowly toward the kitchen with his hands behind his back.

However, just after turning the corner, one could hear a series of shouting and cursing.

"Boom!"

"Egg! I'm going to pinch you!!"

"Get lost, you're covered in powder!"

As soon as Ye Jiyun entered the room, he was almost hit in the face with a ball of dough. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and dodged the dough that was thrown at him.

The kitchen was a complete mess.

The table was covered with flour, and two rows of freshly wrapped buns were neatly stacked on the cutting board. There was also a tray of wontons and several rows of dumplings next to it.

The cake rolls in the corner were fighting fiercely, and Snowball had already stomped a small dough figure out with his hooves.

"What are you doing here...?"

Egg, Cake, and Roll all paused in their movements simultaneously.

Pei Yuening was pinching the pleats of a steamed bun when she heard the sound. She turned around and smiled when she saw Ye Jiyun: "Brother, you're back!"

"Hmm," Ye Jiyun walked around the "battlefield" and approached Pei Yuening. "What are you doing?"

"We have all kinds of pastries," Pei Yuening asked. "Would you like to try some?"

"Okay." Ye Jiyun washed her hands and walked over to stand next to Pei Yuening.

The next three started.

"Damn it! I'll smash your balls to death!"

"Boom!!"

"I'll bombard it again!"

Ye Jiyun picked up the dough and, imitating Pei Yuening, put in the filling and sealed it.

It's a little crooked, but compared to other beginners, it's already quite beautiful.

"Is this enough? Isn't it too much?"

"A little bit, too much filling makes the skin prone to breaking, but it's just for personal consumption, so I don't care too much about it."

"Okay, I'll try again."

……

"Damn it! My wings are all burnt! Curly, I'll tear you apart!"

"You sat in the flour bag yourself!"

"I don't!"

……

"How about this?"

"That's it, brother, you're amazing!"

"It's alright, you seem to have done it quite clearly. Do all of these need to be wrapped?"

"No need, that's for cutting. Just knead it a little later."

"it is good."

Wow! These guys are all amazing!

……

In the afternoon, the countertop was finally cleared.

Gao Gao and the others got tired of fighting at some point and had already fallen asleep in the vegetable basket.

Pei Yuening picked out a few of each item for afternoon tea, and put the rest into the storage cabinet adorned with magic stones.

A rich aroma gradually filled the air, and Gao Gao and the others stopped snoring and suddenly opened their eyes.

"Ughhhhhh!!! ———"

They screamed and teleported: "Master! Give me a bite! Give me a bite! Give me a bite!"

"Wait, right away."

When the time came, Pei Yuening lifted the lid of the pot, and steam hit her face.

The plump, white buns are clustered together in the steamer, with thin skins and tender fillings, looking incredibly tempting.

Pei Yuening first gave a portion of the cake roll to the three gluttons, and they pounced on it like hungry tigers.

Snowball is still too young; eating meat at an age when he's still drinking milk might choke him. So Pei Yuening only broke a milk knife into pieces for him.

Snowball is very obedient and eats very slowly.

"Vocal!! So catchy~!"

Finally, Pei Yuening picked up another steamed bun, wrapped it in heat-resistant oil paper, and handed it to Ye Jiyun.

Ye Jiyun blew away the heat and tentatively took a bite.

In an instant, the juices burst in my mouth, mixing with the tender lean meat, leaving a lingering fragrance on my lips and teeth.

The meat juices soaked into the noodles, making them incredibly savory—perfect for a bite-sized treat.

"Delicious," Ye Jiyun nodded repeatedly, "This is really too delicious."

Pei Yuening sat opposite him: "Of course, and I made it myself."

"Yeah, it feels really strange and fulfilling."

"If you like it, brother, we can make it again after you finish eating it."

"it is good."
