Then, glutinous rice flour is used to make dough, fillings are added, and crystal dumplings are made and steamed. After steaming, the skin is crystal clear, and you can see the dark green vegetable filling inside. Take a bite, and you will find that the filling is soaked in lard and has an amazing aroma of wild vegetables. You can eat a lot of Xu Mi Lu (a type of rice dumpling) on ​​its own.

Because she was going to make offerings, Xu Milu specially washed her hands and made four other vegetarian fillings of crystal glutinous rice buns: bamboo shoots and chicken, tea tree mushrooms and tofu skin, carrots and wood ear fungus, and shepherd's purse, wheat ears and eggs.

Sun Wukong loves steamed buns, so Xu Milu steamed three large trays full of big white steamed buns. They were all made with good flour, kneaded thoroughly hundreds of times. The steamed buns were soft and delicious, and it took some effort to tear them apart by hand.

Layers of torn steamed buns, served with cold bamboo shoot salad and sesame oil-fried tofu skin, make for a perfect breakfast.

After settling Aqing and Daizi in, Xu Milu began offering sacrifices at the altar.

"The Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong, from the Water Curtain Cave of Flower and Fruit Mountain..."

The steamed buns, cakes, crystal-wrapped side dishes, and several plates of fresh fruit that were placed on the table disappeared without a trace.

Xu Milu nodded and continued putting things on the table:

A plate of freshly steamed white steamed buns, two plates of vegetarian fruit, two plates of dry-mixed bean curd strips, a dish of bean sprouts mixed with sesame oil, and a basket of tea tree mushroom crystal buns.

"The Buddha of Sandalwood Merit of the Western Vulture Peak..."

This time it was a bit slow; after waiting for a long time, the offerings on the table finally disappeared.

Yes, the Tripitaka Master must be busy.

Xu Milu nodded and continued working on the assembly line.

"The Cleansing Altar Messenger Bodhisattva..."

"The True Lord of the Wondrous Way of Qingyuan at the Estuary of Guanjiang..."

"The Sudhana of the Purple Bamboo Grove in the South China Sea..."

"Nezha, the Great God of the Three Altars and Sea Gathering at Chentang Pass..."

Without exception, all the food offered to them disappeared without a trace, along with some of the specialties that Xu Milu brought back from outer space.

"Alright! Now Nezha and the others should know I'm back, which will save me the trouble of delivering local specialties to each of them one by one."

Xu Milu clapped her hands, very satisfied.

—That's the good thing about the mythological world: you don't even need to visit the door to deliver packages; you can just read the god's name.

After she finished all that, she was finally able to sit down at the table to eat. But as soon as she broke open a steamed bun and before she could even put the side dish in her mouth, a large, furry hand reached down from the sky and gently scooped her up. She became dizzy and lightheaded, and with a "snap," she transformed back into a little phoenix, wobbling and floating into the sky.

Xu Milu: "..."

She really couldn't enjoy her meal properly.

At least make her swallow the steamed bun in her mouth!
