The pie has layers of flaky pastry, which become distinct after being pan-fried. It's crispy, fragrant, and crumbly with every bite. Another bite reveals a generous filling that's substantial and becomes more flavorful with each chew.
At first, Madam Yin was a little embarrassed, but seeing Xu Milu eating so heartily, she felt a little hungry and couldn't help but pick up a corner and eat two whole pieces of flaky pastry!
"Miss Xu has such a clever mind and such wonderful skills."
After finishing her meal, Madam Yin seemed much closer to Xu Milu, smiling gently.
"From now on, don't call me Lady Yin. I have a nickname at home, 'Mantangjiao'. Just call me Aunt Wenjiao."
"Aunt? You don't look much older than me."
Xu Milu laughed: "Can I call you Sister Yin? My full name is Milu, but close friends call me Da Mi. Sister Yin, you can just call me Da Mi."
Yin Wenjiao hesitated for a moment, then nodded hesitantly.

In the dead of night, Xu Milu suddenly woke up from her dream and hurriedly went to Xu Minian's room, where she found a copy of "Journey to the West".
[...Xuanzang said, "My mother's surname is Yin, and her given name is Wenjiao. My father's surname is Chen, and his given name is Guangrui. My childhood name is Jiangliu, and my Dharma name is Xuanzang."]

"Sis, why are you watching Journey to the West in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"
"Quiet down, I'm wondering why Yin Wenjiao isn't dead."
Xu Milu flipped through the pages, and Xu Minian took two seconds to react:
"Who? Tang Sanzang's mother? How could she die? Didn't she bite off Tang Sanzang's left little toe when she threw him away? Wouldn't eating Tang Sanzang's flesh grant immortality?"
"!"
Xu Milu hurriedly flipped to Chapter Nine of Journey to the West and, sure enough, found this passage. Thinking of Yin Wenjiao's beautiful face, seemingly only sixteen years old, she couldn't help but take a deep breath:
"This is so exciting! So eating Tang Sanzang's flesh really can grant immortality?"
