Chapter 142 - Steaming Rice Noodle Rolls (1/2)

“It worked!” Bai Qingqing ecstatically exclaimed. She looked up at Cortis, then turned to look in Parker’s direction. “Parker, come and see… What the hell!”

The fire in the house was blazing, and the stove and pot could barely be seen through the flames, which were half as tall as a human.

“Parker, are you trying to burn the house down?” Bai Qingqing yelled.

Parker’s hand, which had been adding firewood to the fire, paused, and he quickly threw the firewood behind him.

“Forget it. We managed to make rice pulp. Come and see.” Bai Qingqing gestured to him.

Parker heaved a sigh of relief, then immediately stood up and walked towards them. He looked up at Cortis.

Cortis shot back a cold glance at him and the corner of his mouth curved up in a cold smile, indicating his indifference.

Parker secretly sneered at the snake. If you’re so capable, don’t hide your tail behind you.

Bai Qingqing was thrilled. Oblivious to the heated and tense atmosphere between the two of them, she continued to ask Parker, “What do you think? Didn’t we do a good job?”

“Mm.” Parker repeatedly nodded his head. A look of surprise then came over his face when he took a good look at the stone mill.

He reached his hand into the rice pulp and pinched two of his fingers as he asked, “Is this really made from rice? The rice’s still stuck between the stones, right? This has got to be the water that the rice was soaked in.”

Bai Qingqing didn’t mind being questioned. She smiled and replied, “No, it isn’t. The gap between the stones is so small. Could you stop touching the rice pulp? Your hand is so dirty.”

Bai Qingqing slapped his forearm.

Parker pulled back his hand, thinking that Bai Qingqing made sense. He continued to ask, “Are you thinking of making steamed rice? Are you going to steam this so that it solidifies like a steamed egg?”

“All you know is steamed egg.” Bai Qingqing held back her laughter and replied, “It’s not the same. There are a lot of foods you can make with ground rice.”
