Ning Dalang smiled and listened to everything she said. In the past few days, he had seen her wash and rub the wheat flour and corn flour. The others more or less had concerns, but Ning Dalang was the only one who would follow Xiaoxiao’s instructions. He would grind them if she asked him to. He would dry them if she asked him to dry them. He would eat them all when she asked him to taste them until his stomach was round.
The hardest step for Xiaoxiao to make prawn dumplings was the skin. This was because the skin of prawn dumplings was different from ordinary dumpling skins. They could not be made directly with coarsely processed flour. Instead, they needed wheat starch and cornstarch.
Although there were a lot of ingredients in this era, the method of eating was still in rough processing. She used more than two days to grind the wheat flour and corn flour a second time, wash and soak them, separate the flour, dry them, and so on to make wheat starch and cornstarch.
After many experiments, she fused the two according to different ratios and finally successfully found the optimal ratio. Now, the first batch of prawn dumplings that could be considered as a “finished product” was steaming.
Xiaoxiao watched expectantly as her brother picked up one and put it into his mouth. Then, his eyes widened in surprise. He covered his mouth and chewed carefully a few times before looking at his sister in disbelief. “These are dumplings?”
Xiaoxiao grinned smugly. “Ning Xiaoxiao’s special, crystal prawn dumplings!”
Xiaoxiao knew very well that her brother had a bias towards her. Hence, to be safe, she took another portion and knocked on the door next door. Of course, she kept one in space along the way.
The space showed: [This is a new dish that exceeds the current level of delicacies in this space-time. The ingredients used have also been carefully processed. It has a huge contribution to promote the development of delicacies in this space-time. Hence, you are rewarded with 500 points for the first time!]
Xiaoxiao endured it again and again, but she still couldn’t help but exchange for a set of rice seeds that she had been eyeing for a long time.
Just as she was thinking of finding an opportunity to enter the space to plant seedlings, she saw the seeds that she had just exchanged flutter and burrow into the soil. The space automatically watered them. At the same time, it said proudly, [How can Master do such a small thing by herself!]
It was too convenient. Xiaoxiao couldn’t wait to ask excitedly: [How many points do you need to level up next time?]
The space’s answer extinguished her enthusiasm. [10,000.]
Xiaoxiao instantly became listless. She was still a little listless when the neighbor’s courtyard door opened, but she only glanced at Rong Yan and felt that she could do it again.
Rong Yan, who had just finished practicing a set of sword techniques, was still steaming. Perhaps because he had swung his sword just now, his collar was open, revealing a fair and smooth skin. The scene was very beautiful, causing Xiaoxiao to almost reveal her old perverted nature and whistle at him.
Fortunately, she still had her rationality. She held onto her principles and forced her brain to look away. This must be the legendary “fresh meat”!
Seeing the redness on Xiaoxiao’s face, Rong Yan inevitably misunderstood. He tugged at his clothes uncomfortably and turned his head away. Why are you so shy?! You made me feel embarrassed!
He suddenly felt that it was not suitable to meet guests in such a mess, so he retreated and said, “I’ll go change my clothes.”
The guards who wanted to open the door were speechless.
Rong Yan did not leave. He was grabbed by Xiaoxiao’s clothes. Thinking that he was sweating, he hurriedly pulled back.
Actually, Xiaoxiao did not notice this detail. She was still immersed in the 10,000-point pressure and wanted to go back and recall the recipe carefully. Hence, she handed the steamer over and said, “I’m here to give you this. Don’t be in a hurry to change your clothes. 1’11 leave now. It won’t taste good when it’s cold.”
Rong Yan, who was holding the steamer, felt a sudden surge of guilt prick his heart. He felt that Ning Xiaoxiao’s back view when she turned around just now was very bleak. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was really too cold and disappointing when Ning Xiaoxiao had excitedly made delicious food for him, but he had such a strong reaction when she touched him. Hence, he shouted, “Wait!”
Xiaoxiao stopped. Seeing Rong Yan leave and return in a hurry and hand her a wooden box. “I-I just bought it casually when I was shopping.. It’s for you to play with!”
