Mrs. Qu almost couldn't catch her breath: "You, what are you steaming?"
Lin Wanxia thought about her daughter's words of weakness.
She immediately wiped away her tears and replied aggrievedly, "I, I've never steamed buns at home, but I've already steamed them very well."
"You call this good? Even our ancestors would be so angry they would come back to life."
Old Lady Qu took two crooked and cracked buns and stood in the yard wailing in anger:

Old Mrs. Qu was heartbroken over the dozen pounds of leavened dough that had been ruined for steaming buns, and she was speechless at what everyone said: "I, I, I, I didn't, I didn't..."
