Was she accurately poking at his sore spot again?

Guan Chixi turned around and returned to the house. He said, “I can’t afford to offend you. I’m leaving.”

Ye Lulu felt good. She smiled as she watched the single man return to his house. Then, she turned around and calmly entered the house.

The ambiguous aura from the Kabedon just now seemed to have passed, as if nothing had happened.

Guan Chibei followed suit and acted normal. Ye Lulu let him stay in the house to look after the babies and went to the kitchen to see how the bean paste was cooking.

The initial step had been made, and there wasn’t much water left.. Ye Lulu started to adjust the small fire, then stirred it with a long wooden spoon. As she stirred, she pressed down on the boiled red beans, which had gone limp, so that the red beans would become mash faster.

This step was very troublesome. She couldn’t walk away. She had to stir it continuously so that it wouldn’t stick to the pot.

Ye Lulu continued to stir and press down the red beans. Soon, the bean paste became even thinner and turned into a mash. The remaining water was just right. If she simmered it for a while longer, the bean paste would become even softer and mushier.

Such bean paste was the most delicate.

Ye Lulu looked at it and added a suitable amount of white sugar. After seasoning it, the bean paste was slowly cooked again.

The bean paste was cooked very well, and a sweet fragrance wafted over. If pastries made with such bean paste were sold, the price would indeed be higher because the production cost could not be lowered.

In Yuan City, sugar might be more expensive than seasonings, let alone the best white sugar.

However, even the most expensive white sugar was a little impure. It was very rough and naturally could not be compared to the delicate white sugar in the modern world.

After boiling the bean paste, Ye Lulu took out a few salted duck eggs. That’s right. Guan Chibei had picked up wild duck eggs previously, and a portion of them had been marinated into salted duck eggs.

She only decided to do something when she saw the salted duck eggs.

She wanted to make salted egg yolk puff pastry.

She peeled the salted duck eggs and took out the salted egg yolk. Then, Ye Lulu started making the pastry skin. She roasted the salted duck eggs and rubbed the bean paste into small balls. Then, she used her palm to press the thin layer of bean paste to wrap the salted egg yolk inside.

She took a rolling pin to roll the pastry skin. Then, she wrapped it around the bean paste with salted egg yolk.

After applying egg yolk liquid and sprinkling some black sesame seeds on the surface, she was done with one pastry.

After everything was done, she started to roast them.

The reason why Ye Lulu dared to try salted egg yolk puff pastry was that farmers had simple ovens made from mud at home. The people in Yuan City were diverse, and different cultures were everywhere. It was not strange for the families in Yunwu Village to have mud ovens.

After roasting them for a while…

A ‘melodious’ fragrance wafted out from the kitchen. The fragrance of baking was amazing! The sweet, warm, and rich smell of baking could make one feel like they were bewitched for a second!

Everyone in the Guan family pushed their doors open as they were attracted by the fragrance. When they smelled this unfamiliar but very strong fragrance, they were all shocked. “What’s this smell?”

“Oh? It smells so good!”

Ye Lulu wore thick gloves and took out the baked pastries. In fact, they were not perfect. She could not control the heat well and the bottom had been baked a little too much and the top was not crispy enough.

The fragrance of the baked goods was not exactly the same as what Ye Lulu had baked in the modern era.
