Xia Yingying knew that Lu Yuwei was a little sensitive, so she explained distressedly, "We're only going to use these eggs today. Any more would be wasted. I'll ask you to beat the rest next time."

Seeing that it was not her fault and Xia Yingying did not blame her, Lu Yuwei nodded and replied quietly.

"How about this, you help me scoop the egg yolk into this bowl with a spoon."

Lu Yuwei nodded and began to separate the egg liquid.

Xia Yingying opened yesterday's sack and took out the brown sugar.

It is best to use white sugar when making pastries. Brown sugar contains many impurities and the pastries made from it do not taste good.

White sugar is more expensive in the store. One pound of white sugar can buy several pounds of brown sugar. She knows how to purify white sugar, so there is no need to waste money.

So she picked up the small charcoal and poured the brown sugar she bought into a basin and mixed it with the charcoal.

Lu Yuwei was terrified as she watched. Did her stepmother really like to mix the food with the things in the stove? What was she doing? She scooped the egg yolk while looking at Xia Yingying.

Xia Yingying poured a basin of water into it and stirred the brown sugar and charcoal water with a ladle until the brown sugar was completely dissolved. She covered another basin with a piece of gauze. It was difficult for her to do it alone, so she asked Lu Yuwei to help her pull the gauze. After filtering it several times, she poured the filtered sugar water into the pot to cook.

Lu Yuwei had finished scooping out the egg yolks, and then she stood respectfully beside Xia Yingying with her hands folded.

Xia Yingying took a pair of chopsticks and kept stirring the egg white in one direction until her hand was almost broken.

"Stepmother, let me help you." Seeing that Xia Yingying couldn't stir the food anymore, Lu Yuwei reached out to take the chopsticks from Xia Yingying's hand and offered to help.

"No need." Xia Yingying was sweating and her arms were shaking.

She couldn't bear to mistreat a little girl. Lu Yuwei was thin and weak and couldn't stir the egg liquid at all. This was a strenuous job.

But even though Xia Yingying struggled to hold on, her hands could no longer bear it. Her arms ached and felt numb, as if they were about to break.

The egg liquid turns white with many fine bubbles on it.

"Xiao Wei, go call your grandma over."

After receiving the order, Lu Yuwei ran out to call Song Ruyi.

The white sugar in the pot had crystallized. Xia Yingying put some in and continued stirring.

When Song Ruyi heard Xia Yingying was looking for her, she put down the cloth she had just cut and went to the kitchen. Lu Haoran and Lu Haojie also followed her into the kitchen.

"Yingying, what's the matter?"

"Mom, help me stir the eggs." Xia Yingying was sweating profusely, and when she saw Song Ruyi, she felt like she saw a savior.

After washing her hands, Song Ruyi took a pair of chopsticks from Xia Yingying's hand and stirred in the opposite direction.

Seeing this, Xia Yingying hurriedly advised: "Mom, hit the direction I just hit."

Song Ruyi sighed and changed the direction of stirring the eggs.

Xia Yingying took advantage of this opportunity to beat the remaining sugar in the pot.

Lu Yuwei's eyes widened as she stared at the frosting in the pot.

Is the stepmother a fairy? How did she turn brown sugar into white?

"Put out the fire." Xia Yingying scooped up the sugar with a shovel and put some of it into the egg liquid.

The egg liquid gradually forms a creamy shape during repeated stirring.

Song Ruyi was also very tired, and Lu Haoran took the initiative to say, "Grandma, I'll do it."

Song Ruyi said: "You are still young, you are not needed for this matter."

Only then did Xia Yingying remember that Lu Haoran had practiced martial arts and was very strong, so this should not be a difficult task for him.

So he took the initiative to say, "Mom, let him come."

Song Ruyi handed the chopsticks to Lu Haoran. Lu Haoran stirred for a long time without changing his expression. Xia Yingying added sugar. Lu Haoran beat the egg liquid into a creamy shape. Xia Yingying shouted "That's it." Then he stopped.

Xia Yingying couldn't help but look at her adopted son, and she was secretly delighted. She secretly decided to give him the job of beating the egg liquid in the future. She even gave him a stamp - the most convenient human egg beater.

Xia Yingying felt very happy, secretly glad that she no longer had to endure the pain of beating eggs. Her eyes were shining, and she looked at Lu Haoran as if he was looking at a rare object.

The corner of Lu Haoran's mouth twitched, and he didn't understand what Xia Yingying was thinking.

After beating the eggs, Xia Yingying mixed the flour and eggs, and then mixed the beaten eggs together.

Song Ruyi and his group were all confused, but no one spoke.

Xia Yingying placed the steamer in the pot, scooped a ladle of water into it, coated the largest bowl in the house with a layer of sesame oil, poured the stirred paste into the bowl, and filled two large bowls before all the paste was filled.

"Second sister, what is our stepmother doing?" Lu Haojie was confused.

He thought his stepmother was making steamed buns or dumplings, but the flour for making steamed buns is soft. His stepmother's flour was thin, so was she making pancakes?

"My stepmother said she wanted to make pastries." Lu Yuwei didn't know what Xia Yingying was going to do, but since she ate rat poison and woke up, her cooking skills improved and she even became a gentler person.

She almost thought that her stepmother was deliberately playing a trick on them when she saw her washing the pig intestines, and was making some dark dish for them to eat. But that was not the case. The back of the pig intestines was white and smelled quite fragrant.

The stepmother seemed to have a pair of magical hands that could turn decay into something magical.

She was looking forward to the pastries made by her stepmother.

"Pastry? What pastries?" Lu Haojie asked in confusion, blinking his big eyes.

He likes to eat peach cakes and candied haws. Is this what his stepmother made?

"I don't know either." Lu Yuwei shook her head.

"Yingying, what kind of pastry are you making? I've never seen it made this way." Song Ruyi couldn't help but ask.

"Mom, this pastry is called steamed cake. It is fluffy, soft and fragrant, and has a long mouthful. When it comes out of the pot, you will know what it tastes like."

Xia Yingying covered the pot, and Lu Yuwei added firewood into the stove.

The kitchen was filled with the aroma of braised meat. Xia Yingying lifted the lid of the pot and saw that the water was almost dry. She took a chopstick and poked it in. It went in easily, proving that the pig intestines and liver were cooked.

Xia Yingying put the pig intestines and liver in a bowl, took a piece of pig intestines, cut it into small pieces, and gave one piece to each person.

Song Ruyi picked up the pig intestines and smelled them. There was no stinky smell of pig intestines, only the fragrant smell of meat and spices, which was particularly pleasant: "Yingying, this smells really good."

Lu Haojie did not take the pig intestines. He could not forget the black and smelly appearance of the pig intestines. He felt nauseous and said, "I don't want to eat it. It stinks." Then he ran away.

Xia Yingying took the pig intestines for Lu Haojie and gave the remaining two to Lu Haoran and Lu Yuwei.

Lu Haoran and Lu Yuwei did not reject it and took the pig intestines given by Xia Yingying, but their faces still did not look very good.

They had eaten the pig intestines made by Lu Ziren before, and the taste was so overpowering that it cast a shadow around them.

Even though the pig intestines in their hands didn't have any strange smell, they were still hesitant.

Seeing that they didn't want to eat, Xia Yingying said, "If you don't want to eat, don't force yourself."

He pointed to the plate, indicating that they could put it back on the plate.

After hesitating, Lu Haoran frowned and opened his mouth to bite the pig intestine.
