Chapter 128 Noodles
Chapter 128 Noodles
Chu Xinyao only spent five days conducting the experiment, inviting two females each day to drink flower tea containing fertility pills in her courtyard, along with some instructions from her.
She gave each female different advice based on their individual physical conditions.
For females who are underweight, she recommends increasing their nutrition to ensure they have enough energy to nurture new life. For females who are overweight, she suggests moderate weight loss to maintain a healthy figure and create optimal conditions for reproduction.
Five days later, it was time for her and Hu Xiao's marriage ceremony. Because of her special status as a saintess, He Xiu Hu Yue held the ceremony for them in White Tiger City.
Only the closest relatives of the Tiger Roar family and their high priest were present in the courtyard, and the ceremony concluded successfully.
As night fell, the bridal chamber was brightly lit. Chu Xinyao, dressed in a tiger-striped animal skin dress, sat quietly on the edge of the bed, a happy smile on her face, waiting for the tiger's roar to arrive.
Hu Xiao pushed open the door and entered, his eyes filled with excitement and an overwhelming sense of awe.
"Yao Yao," Hu Xiao, unable to contain himself, grabbed Chu Xin Yao's delicate hand and kissed it deeply. His voice trembled as he said, "I have finally become your beast husband. By the Beast God, how long have I waited for this day!"
At this moment, his heart was filled with gratitude, and all his expectations turned into endless joy.
Chu Xinyao held Hu Xiao's hand and said playfully, "Alright, I've been waiting for a long time too, and I'm starving."
"Oh, right." Hu Xiao realized this and quickly pulled Chu Xinyao up, walking briskly to the table where the wedding buns he had made that morning were placed.
This is a tradition of their White Tiger tribe: on their wedding night, the newlyweds share a wedding steamed bun, symbolizing a happy and fulfilling future life together.
"Come on, Yao Yao, have a taste. This is a wedding steamed bun that I made myself this morning by peeling the shells myself, grinding them together with fresh animal meat and the sweetest fruits I selected, and then grinding them into powder." Hu Xiao looked expectant as he picked up a wedding steamed bun and handed it to Chu Xin Yao.
Chu Xinyao took the wedding bun smeared with red fruit juice, her fingers gently touching its delicate surface, feeling Hu Xiao's care.
She took a small bite, and then her eyes widened. This...this is flour!
Although adding meat and dipping it in fruit juice feels a bit strange, the aroma of wheat, the savory flavor of the meat, and the sweet and sour taste of the fruit juice combine to create a unique flavor.
"Hmm, this tastes rather unique." Although it wasn't the sweet flavor she had expected, after so much experience with the food of the beast world, she had come to appreciate its distinctive taste.
Seeing Chu Xinyao's expression, Hu Xiao felt a little uneasy. Yao Yao has always been a picky eater; she won't eat the tenderest meat, and even the most ordinary fruit has to be the sweetest. He wondered if this wedding steamed bun would suit her taste.
"How's it going? Is it delicious?"
Chu Xinyao nodded and smiled sincerely, "It's delicious, you should try some too," and fed the wedding steamed bun in her hand to Hu Xiao.
Hu Xiao took a bite of the wedding bun that Chu Xinyao handed him, and his eyes lit up. He didn't care what the bun tasted like; he only felt that it was sweet, and this sweetness spread into his heart.
This scene was one he had dreamt of many times, filling him with immense joy. The two shared the wedding steamed buns, taking turns eating them, and with each bite, their affection deepened.
The aroma of wedding buns filled the new house, making even the air seem sweeter.
As night deepened, the lights in the bridal chamber softened, and Chu Xinyao and Hu Xiao's laughter echoed throughout the room. They shared the wedding steamed buns, and they shared each other. In this warm moment, their bodies and minds merged like never before, and their love found its most perfect expression.
The next morning, Hakusei went to prepare breakfast, only to find the two newly-married couple busy inside as soon as she entered.
"What's going on here?" she asked the young couple with some confusion.
Hu Xiao was kneading the dough diligently, while several bowls were placed in front of him, where the dough was resting.
"Auntie He Xiu, you're up!" Chu Xinyao's hands were covered in flour, and she greeted He Xiu with a smile as she entered.
"Yaoyao, you're still calling her 'Auntie,' you should call her 'Mother' now," Hu Xiao reminded her from the side.
"Oh, right, then I'll still call you Mom, it'll feel closer that way, right, Mom?" Chu Xinyao called out sweetly.
"Hey, my dear Yao Yao." Hao Xiu, who has raised two sons, replied with a smile.
"Yaoyao, what are you doing?"
Hahsiu smiled as she looked around at the strange things in the room, as well as the dough her son was kneading.
"Mommy, I just realized that the gray wheat you mentioned is wheat. This wheat can be ground into flour and used to make a lot of noodles and other dishes. You go and rest first, and I'll let you try my cooking later," Chu Xinyao said confidently.
Just thinking about the plump, white steamed buns and the smooth noodles made her mouth water.
Thinking of the vast fields of wheat seedlings planted outside, even though wheat in the beast world is quite different from modern wheat, the grains were plump and even twice the size of modern wheat grains. Chu Xinyao couldn't help but get excited. She decided to save these seeds and take them back to plant later, so she wouldn't have to worry about food.
"Hehe!" he thought to himself with secret delight.
Within an hour, various kinds of pasta dishes were ready, including steamed buns, twisted rolls, and noodles, which were served one by one.
People who had never eaten such food before gathered around, curiously examining these novel foods.
Hahxiu picked up a steamed bun; it was plump and white, and smelled of milk. "What's this?"
"Mommy, these are steamed buns. I added some sugar and milk to them. Try them. And this is a twisted roll, and these are noodles. Actually, there are many ways to make noodles, but we didn't have enough time today, so we could only make some for now."
He Xiu picked up the steamed bun, examined it for a while, and then put it in her mouth. The faint sweetness filled her mouth, making her eyes widen involuntarily. It was different from what they usually ate and was very novel.
Looking at everyone's reactions, Chu Xinyao felt a great sense of accomplishment.
“Steamed buns don’t actually need sugar or milk. They’re simple to make and are the most basic type of bread. As for twisted rolls, I noticed that most of you like savory flavors, so I added scallions and salt to the steamed buns. And noodles? There are so many ways to eat them—you can boil them, stir-fry them, or mix them in a sauce. Each way has a different flavor. Come on, try them!” She couldn’t wait to grab a steamed bun and take a bite.
Everyone tried these novel foods. The smooth noodles, the savory steamed buns, and the soft steamed bread each brought them different surprises.
As they ate, they praised Chu Xinyao's culinary skills and expressed great admiration for her creativity.
