Chapter 318: Shadowless Lamp
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When she went to see the horses, Wind was playing with Walnut and Scarf. Although it was called playing, it was actually Wind lifting the hooves to kick Scarf. Scarf jumped around Walnut to avoid it.
This horse, dog, and rabbit seemed to be having a good time. There was no species estrangement at all.
The world of children… Ah no, the world of small animals was really simple and happy.
Xiaoxiao suspected that the space was a training base for brats. Otherwise, why would Wind and Lightning start to become as tough as Walnut and Scarf after just a few rounds in the space.
If she didn’t pay attention, they would kick the courtyard wall curiously. Xiaoxiao was worried that her small courtyard would be demolished by them, so she let the three of them go when she saw them forming a team to expend their energy. When she was free, she would even bring them to the place where she reared sheep.
There was no need for her to hold the reins. She walked in front and the three animals behind chased after her obediently.
The villagers clicked their tongues in wonder when they saw this scene, saying that Xiaoxiao was an expert at domesticating animals.
Ah Da and Ah He had already completely adapted to their new life. They had heard that they had been asking ladies to marry them recently. At this moment, the two of them were chanting as they drove the sheep. “Grow up quickly, grow up quickly, and grow into fragrant mutton skewers!”
Xiaoxiao felt that she might have led them astray. Ah Da and Ah He, who treated the sheep like their own son back then, seemed to have become different people now. They were thinking about mutton skewers all day long. Hearing Xiaoxiao’s laughter, the two of them scratched their heads awkwardly and turned around. “Boss, you’re here.” Eager to change the topic, he hurriedly took out the letter sent by his clansmen. “Take a look. Is this the spice you wanted?”
Xiaoxiao actually recognized it at first glance, but she still pretended to identify it carefully. “I’ll take it back and compare it. If it’s not wrong, we’ll charge according to the price we agreed on.”
Ah Da and Ah He rubbed their hands happily, other than herding, their herdsmen didn’t know anything else. If they could earn some money by selling spices, they wouldn’t have to live on a tight budget in the future. Perhaps they could save enough money earlier and bring their father and mother over.
After settling the spices, the skewers business could continue for a long time. In the past, she kept a low profile because she was afraid of being ruthlessly suppressed by reality. Now that she had a big tree behind her, there was naturally no need for that.
There were still many shops under Xiao Ran’s name, but she didn’t know how to run them. The livelihood of the shops was barely enough to cover the expenses of the General’s Residence. However, with Xiaoxiao, this wouldn’t be a problem in the future!
During this vacation, Xiaoxiao and Gu Chang’an finalized a few desserts and also displayed their furry charm. Xiao Ran stared at the very familiar furry pendant that Xiaoxiao took out and sighed as she teased her. “I remember seeing this thing at Ah Yan’s place. It’s hanging on the sword’s handle. He can’t bear to take it off, but he can’t bear to dirty it. So it’s from you. It’s really hard to keep a grown man and a grown woman apart.”
Xiaoxiao stuffed a mouthful of souffle made of eggs into Xiao Ran’s mouth with a red face and begged for mercy.
The cooking method and ingredients were very simple. First, she separated the egg white and egg yolk. SHe added corn oil and milk to the egg yolk and stirred it evenly. After sifting the low gluten flour, she added it to the egg yolk and stirred it into a batter.
White sugar is added to the protein in batches, and it is turned into meringue. A portion of the meringue is added to the egg yolk paste and stirred evenly.
He added the remaining egg yolk paste into the meringue and stirred it evenly. The paste was placed in a piping bag and squeezed into the pan. After frying each side for two minutes, the fluffy souffle was ready.
Now, it had a new name. It was called Souffle.
As soon as the Souffle was launched, it was immediately liked by a large number of customers. Every time it was released, it was immediately sold out. During the time that Xiaoxiao learned from Gongsun Zhongjing, the space had leveled up again and it was now a Level 16 baby.
Now that there was more and more food in this warehouse, Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to mix her private goods with the food she collected from nearby, surprising and gratifying Xiao Ran and Gu Chang’an.
“The Imperial Capital is always complaining about not being able to receive food. I didn’t expect this big problem to be resolved by our daughter. I’ll arrange for someone to send them to the Imperial Capital now.”
While Gongsun Zhongjing was making preoperative preparations, Xiaoxiao thought of something.
Seeing that his sister had started to fiddle with new things, Ning Anhui’s first reaction was that there was delicious food again. However, when he asked, Xiaoxiao gave him a disdainful look. “Second Brother only knows how to eat!”
Ning Anhui:… Why don’t you think about who caused your older brother to become like this?! If you hadn’t fed me in different ways, I wouldn’t even be picky about eating chaff buns now!
He watched as his sister instructed Father to weave a tree-shaped thing with bamboo. Then, she changed it here and there. She inserted candles and continued to move around. He could not understand what she was doing at all until night…
When the sun set and the sky was covered by the night, every family lit up their lamps. Xiaoxiao lit up the bamboo tree lamps she had made during the day one by one and then raised her chin high. “Look!”
Ning Anhui nodded perfunctorily. “Yes, yes, yes. Not bad. It’s quite bright.”
Xiaoxiao gave him a disdainful look and then looked expectantly at the smartest brother of the Ning Family. Ning Ansheng was under a lot of pressure, but he really couldn’t see any clues. The family studied this lamp for a long time but couldn’t come to a conclusion. Xiaoxiao could only light another ordinary lamp for them to see.
This time, Gu Chang’an reacted the fastest. He widened his eyes and circled the two lamps a few times, his face filled with disbelief. “This lamp doesn’t cast a shadow?”
Xiaoxiao was satisfied. Looking at her family members who rushed over to exclaim, she explained happily, “This is the Shadowless Lamp I saw in some book. Think about it. Doctor Gongsun doesn’t necessarily treat patients during the day. What if someone urgently needs treatment at night?”
“It’s fine if it’s just to prescribe medicine. If it’s such a coincidence that we need to use a knife, how can we not see clearly in the dark? Doctor Gongsun also said that Mother’s condition might not be settled in a day. Then, if it’s night or if he’s unlucky and there’s no sun that day, how can he treat Mother’s wound?”
I don’t mind holding the lamp for him, but firstly, the candle flame isn’t bright enough, and secondly, the candle wax can’t be controlled. It is not a joke if it drips.”
“Uh… Why are you all looking at me like that?”
This was because she was too surprising. The ideas she came up with were too unbelievable.
Xiaoxiao chuckled. “Coincidence, coincidence. I happened to see that book and happened to turn to that page. I originally thought that the style was not bad and wanted to make a snack counter according to it.”
The corners of Ning Anhui’s mouth twitched. She was indeed their younger sister.
The next day, Xiaoxiao found someone to give the Shadowless Lamp that she had just made to Gongsun Zhongjing. Unexpectedly, he ran over at lunchtime.. “I’ve just verified the Anesthesia Powder, and you’re actually giving me such a big surprise again?”
