Xia Ju nodded obediently and began to knead the dough according to Du Yue’s instructions. In less than ten minutes, a smooth dough was kneaded. Xia Ju’s hands were covered in flour, but she looked very proud. “Looks like I’m talented too. This isn’t difficult.”

Seeing Xia Ju’s smug look, Du Yue coldly interrupted her, “This is not talent. The most important step in kneading dough is the amount of water. I added the water for you. You can try adding water next time.”

“There’s no need for next time. Give me some more flour. I’ll try it now.”

Hearing this, Du Yue did not stop Xia Ju and directly took out a basin from the s.p.a.ce for her. This time, Du Yue still put whole wheat flour and a small amount of white flour in it. Du Yue placed a bowl of clean water beside her and said to Xia Ju, “Please start your performance.”

Xia Ju was full of ambition. “You rest. Let me show you my skills!”

Two minutes later, Du Yue could not help but remind her, “There’s not enough water. You can add more.”

Two minutes later, she said, “There’s too much water. Add some more flour.”

Two minutes later, Xia Ju said angrily, “I didn’t hold the bowl properly and spilled all the water that was inside. Give me some more flour. I’ll try again.”

He Xing sneered. “Master Xia, who’s been busy for two hours, finally got a bowl of flour soup.”

Du Yue could not help but laugh. She added some flour for Xia Ju.

In the end, Xia Ju succeeded, but the basin was almost stuffed to the point the dough was overflowing. It was only because Xia Ju’s ident.i.ty had evolved and she was very strong. Otherwise, ordinary people would really be at a loss when facing such a large basin of dough. Even if they could accept it in the end, it would probably be the next morning.

Xia Ju looked as if she did not use much effort and was extremely happy. There was so much dough, so, of course, they could not use it all. Du Yue could only take out a small basin and let Xia Ju divide the dough. The remaining two large basins of dough were put into the s.p.a.ce by Du Yue. Seeing that the two of them were done, He Xing, who was standing at the door, said, “Let’s go. The three of them have just finished eating. We can go cook the noodles.”

Xia Ju was at a stage where learning how to cook was very novel. She immediately picked up the small basin and prepared to walk out. “Don’t s.n.a.t.c.h my job from me. I’ll do the cooking!”

Looking at Xia Ju’s back, Du Yue smiled helplessly. When she walked to He Xing’s side, she could not help but say, “Her actual age is older than both our ages combined, but why do I always feel that she…” She always felt that Xia Ju was like a little girl who was curious about everything. However, she believed that He Xing understood what she meant. He Xing reached out and scratched her face. Yes, it was still tender.

“Be careful. If she finds out that you’re talking bad about her behind her back, she’ll definitely fight you!”

“It’s fine. Just treat it as exercise.” After Du Yue finished speaking, she walked toward the kitchen. The moment she walked out of the room, three big bowls appeared in her hands. They had been washed. After the noodles were cooked, they could just put them into the bowls. Before Du Yue could step into the kitchen, she heard Xia Ju say, “I can do it alone. I won’t trouble you.”

Her tone was polite and polite, but also a little distant. At the same time, Du Yue could vaguely hear some fighting spirit in her words. “Alright, I’ll leave first. If you need any help, you can call me.”

As soon as the young man finished speaking, there were footsteps coming toward the door. Du Yue moved to the side to make way for him. After he returned to his room, she went into the kitchen.

As soon as Du Yue entered the kitchen, Xia Ju looked over with a troubled expression. “Come and help me! How can I turn the dough into noodles?!” Whether it was her tone or voice, it was completely different from when she spoke to the young lad earlier. When Du Yue heard Xia Ju reject the young man, she thought that she really knew how to cut the noodles!

It was very simple to make knife-cut noodles. One just had to roll the dough into a large pancake with a thickness of about two to three millimeters. Then, the ‘pancake’ would be folded. One could sprinkle some dry whole wheat flour onto each layer before cutting it with a knife. After the noodles were boiled, Du Yue went to the room to get soy sauce and sesame oil and poured them into the pot. As the sesame oil dripped into the pot, the fragrance instantly floated out. Xia Ju picked up a strand with chopsticks and was about to put it into her mouth. Du Yue did not react in time when she heard Xia Ju hissing from the scalding noodles. Du Yue sighed helplessly. “These noodles were just cooked!

“If you eat it immediately, of course, you’ll scald yourself!” As she spoke, Du Yue scooped all the noodles in the pot into three bowls..
