"This is a lucky omen Aunt Chen bought for Sister Yingying. It would be unlucky if she died before the college entrance exam."
Awu and Axuan nodded together, then flew out with Sixi.
Wu Fu took Xiao Jiuxiang's hand, looked at Xia Chujian with a smile, and said, "Sister, do you want us to go out or stay?"
Little Jiuxiang looked up at Xia Chujian and mimicked him: "...stay!"
Xia Chujian: “…”
How come these two are inseparable?
Could they be half-brothers?
Xia Chujian joked in his heart, but remained calm on the surface and said, "Do you want to go?"
Wu Fu looked outside. It was still early and the sun was not very hot.
Moreover, the hottest temperature here in summer is only 24 or 25 degrees Celsius, which is very cool.
It's even cooler this time of morning, less than 20 degrees.
Both of them were wearing long T-shirts and overalls in the morning, looking like two big lucky dolls, so cute.
Xia Chujian couldn't help but bend down and kiss each of them on the chubby forehead.
She said, "Go ahead, play for a while and come back. I'll make snacks for you."
Wufu said quickly, "I want fried glutinous rice cakes with brown sugar sauce!"
Little Jiuxiang groggily followed, "...brown sugar sauce!"
Although he didn't know what "brown sugar sauce" was because he hadn't had time to eat it yet.
Xia Chujian said, "Wufu, that's called brown sugar rice cake. It's a secret recipe passed down from our Xia family. Has your aunt made it for you?"
The glutinous rice used to make the brown sugar rice cakes she ate when she was a child was all red glutinous rice.
This kind of red glutinous rice is not available on the market in Beichen Empire, and Xia Chujian doesn't know where Xia Yuanfang got it from.
Later, when Xia Yuanfang made brown sugar rice cakes, he did not use red glutinous rice, but just ordinary glutinous rice.
Then grind the Jiarong grass into a red juice, mix it together to make glutinous rice cake, and eat it with brown sugar sauce. It looks similar to glutinous rice cake made from red glutinous rice.
But only Xia Chujian knew that the taste was so different...
It’s a pity that Wufu and Xiao Jiuxiang didn’t have the chance to enjoy the food…
Xia Chujian sighed with emotion, and she even had an impulse for a moment to ask Xiao Jiuxiang if he could make the land at home grow red glutinous rice!
But she held back.
Her aunt made her swear not to tell anyone about the red glutinous rice.
As Xia Chujian was thinking about this, a drop of crystal saliva was already hanging from Xiao Jiuxiang's mouth.
He looked up at Xia Chujian and stammered, "...red...brown sugar...glutinous rice cake...is it delicious?"
Wufu immediately said, "It's so delicious that I want to swallow my tongue!"
"Xiao Jiuxiang, let me tell you, that glutinous rice cake is fried in oil. It's crispy on the outside and soft and sticky on the inside."
"Take a bite and you'll have the sweet fragrance of osmanthus."
"The brown sugar sauce is sweet but not greasy, with a slight aftertaste. I can eat three glutinous rice cakes in one bite!"
Xia Chujian: “…”
Wu Fu is becoming more and more boastful.
He couldn't even finish one brown sugar rice cake in three bites, and he dared to say he could eat three in one bite?!
Little Jiuxiang's mouth was watering when he heard this. He looked at Xia Chujian and didn't want to go out. He just wanted to watch Xia Chujian make brown sugar rice cakes.
Wu Fu felt that he had exaggerated too much. He rolled his eyes and said, "Xiao Jiuxiang, if you're here, I'll have to focus on taking care of you and won't be able to make brown sugar rice cakes for us properly."
"Come out with me to play with the rabbits first. When we're done, we can come back and eat brown sugar rice cakes, right, sister?"
Xia Chujian nodded: "Well, that's about right. Then you have to take good care of little Jiuxiang and don't bully him all the time."
Wufu patted his chest and said, "Wufu takes the best care of little Jiuxiang! If anyone bullies little Jiuxiang, Wufu will get angry with him!"
Xia Chujian watched Wu Fu leave holding Xiao Jiuxiang's chubby hand, and thought, you are the only one who can bully Xiao Jiuxiang, and no one else can, right?
Turning into the kitchen, Xia Chujian called Liushun over and set a program for it, asking it to take out glutinous rice and grind it into powder, and also to grind Jiarong grass into a paste and finally mix them together.
After the program was set up, Xia Yuan came down and said to Xia Chujian, "My experiment is finished. Do you want to talk?"
Xia Chujian nodded.
But they did not go to the second floor. Instead, they went to the living room behind the living room facing the backyard and ate breakfast while looking at the deep and light green scenery outside the window through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Xia Yuanfang said, "Tell me, what's the serious matter?"
Xia Chujian said, "Aunt, war is about to break out. The empire is preparing for war."
Xia Yuanfang's pupils suddenly shrank, but soon returned to normal: "Really? Who are you going to war with? The Dongtianyuan Divine Kingdom?"
She asked again, "The star field of the Dongtianyuan Divine Nation is no longer visible. Did they use advanced technology to hide their star field?"
