He skillfully stir-fried the meat, ensuring that each piece was evenly cooked. He then added onions, ginger, garlic, star anise, cinnamon, and other spices, which sautéed in the hot oil, releasing an alluring aroma.

Next, Xiao Yi poured in dark soy sauce for color and light soy sauce for flavor, and then added an appropriate amount of rock sugar to coat the pork with an attractive caramel color. After stir-frying evenly, he poured in enough water to cover the pork cubes, brought to a boil over high heat, then simmered slowly over low heat.

During the stewing process, the pork gradually became soft and the soup became thicker. Xiao Yi kept stirring so that every piece of meat could fully absorb the flavor of the soup.

When the braised pork was cooked to the point where it melted in his mouth, Xiao Yi began to prepare it for canning. He carefully placed the cooked braised pork piece by piece into the canning jars he had prepared in advance, and then used a large spoon to pour the thick soup over the meat, ensuring that every piece of meat was covered with the soup.

Finally, Xiao Yi quickly sealed the cans and sterilized them at high temperature to ensure the shelf life of the cans.

After completing all this, Xiao Yi looked at the cans filled with braised pork, his heart filled with a sense of accomplishment.

Xiao Yi stood in the spacious kitchen, his eyes fixed firmly on the cabinets in front of him. He was ready to make cookies carefully, his heart full of anticipation and enthusiasm.

He first opened the cupboard door, took out a large transparent glass bowl, and gently placed it on the countertop. Then, Xiao Yi reached for the high wall cabinet, took down a bag of high-quality flour, carefully untied the bag, and slowly poured the flour, as fine as snow, into the glass bowl. The flour piled up like a small white hill.

Then, he took out fresh butter from the refrigerator. The butter was still a little cool, so Xiao Yi cut it into small pieces with a knife, put it in another bowl, and slowly melted it over hot water, making the butter soft and smooth.

Xiao Yi turned around and found the measuring cup and measuring utensils from the drawer, carefully measured the appropriate amount of white sugar and granulated sugar, and mixed them with the flour. He picked up a whisk and stirred it gently to evenly distribute the white sugar in the flour.

Eggs are an essential ingredient. Xiao Yi cracked a few eggs gently on the side of the bowl, separated the egg yolks from the egg whites, and poured only the egg yolks into the flour. He picked up a pair of chopsticks and stirred continuously, allowing the egg yolks and flour to fully blend, forming a golden dough.

After preparing these basic ingredients, Xiao Yi took out various flavors of essences, nuts, dried fruits and other ingredients from the cabinet and placed them neatly on the countertop, ready to add rich taste and flavor to the biscuits.

At this moment, the kitchen was filled with warmth and anticipation because of Xiao Yi's careful preparations.

Xiao Yi arranged the prepared cookie ingredients one by one, ready to start the exciting process of baking cookies.

He first preheated the oven to the appropriate temperature. The heating tubes inside the oven gradually turned red and emitted waves of heat.

Xiao Yi placed the dough on the chopping board and rolled it into a uniform thin sheet with a rolling pin. His movements were skillful and focused, and his eyes were always fixed on the dough to ensure the uniform thickness.

Then, he picked up cookie cutters of various shapes and carefully pressed them onto the dough. One by one, cute shapes emerged. There were round, square, and even heart-shaped ones, filling the entire chopping board.

Xiao Yi used a small spatula to gently move the biscuit dough onto the baking tray and arranged them neatly. The baking tray seemed to have become a canvas, and the biscuit dough was his carefully crafted work of art.

The moment he put the baking tray full of cookie dough into the preheated oven and closed the oven door, his face was full of anticipation.

Through the oven's glass door, you can watch the cookies gradually transform. Initially, the edges of the cookies turn slightly yellow and emit a light aroma. As time passes, the cookies develop an alluring golden color and their surfaces become crispy.

Xiao Yi stood in front of the oven, staring at the changes inside without blinking, adjusting the temperature and time from time to time to ensure that every cookie was baked just right.

When the oven dinged, Xiao Yi put on thick gloves and carefully took out the baking tray. The aroma of steaming cookies filled the entire kitchen.

He placed the baked cookies on a drying rack to let them cool naturally. The cookies were now golden, crispy, and delicious, as if telling everyone about Xiao Yi's dedication and focus. Xiao Yi picked up a freshly baked cookie with great anticipation. Before he even took a bite, the rich, sweet aroma filled his nose like a playful elf.

As he gently took a bite, the biscuit made a crisp "crunch" sound between his teeth, and instantly, a mellow sweet taste exploded in his mouth. The sweetness was just right, neither too strong nor too bland, like the first ray of sunshine in the morning, warm and pleasant.

The sugar in the biscuits seems to be cast with magic, perfectly blended into every grain of flour, releasing more sweetness with every chew, like a sweet carnival on the taste buds.

The aroma of butter is fully revealed at this moment, its rich milky aroma intertwined with the sweetness of sugar, forming an intoxicating and unique flavor. This aroma not only permeates the mouth, but even seems to overflow from the nose, making people unable to help but take a deep breath again and again, wanting to deeply imprint this wonderful taste in their memory.

If you taste it carefully, you can also feel the slight eggy aroma brought by the eggs, which adds a delicate and soft feeling to the sweetness, making the taste of the biscuits richer and more layered.

Each bite of the cookie was filled with a rich sweetness, making one feel as if they were in a sweet dream, forgetting all worries and fatigue. This sweet taste not only satisfied the desire of the taste buds, but also felt like a kind of comfort to the soul, bringing endless joy and satisfaction. Xiao Yi's baked cookies exuded an alluring aroma, and he decided to package these delicacies so that he could share them with his companions who fought alongside him.
