Even so, her invitation to Chu Xing was sincere.
Since he was too embarrassed to stay, she had to send more food over for the Dragon Boat Festival.
She thought about her plan to sell cakes. Although she could not buy milk in two months, it would not affect the overall situation.
After dinner…
“Mother, are we making a cake again today?” Chu Ziluo was helping Ye Muyu wash the dishes in the kitchen.
Ye Muyu did not stop her. She taught her how to cook. After all, the female arts petition was not far away. Speaking of which, cooking was the easiest to improve.
“Yes, will you help me out this afternoon?” Ye Muyu wiped her hands clean and the entire kitchen was cleaned up.
The most tiring part of making a cake was whisking the eggs.
Chu Ziluo could not control the strength and speed, so she could only use the wooden eggbeater to stir it over and over again.
This time, Ye Muyu handed the rest of the work to Chu Ziluo, who was teaching from the side.
This took two hours.
This time, Ye Muyu did not make cream. Chu Xing did not bring back much milk, so she had to save some.
When she opened the lid, he saw the steamed cake.
Chu Ziluo instantly smelled the strong milk fragrance and could not help but widen her eyes in surprise. “Mother, is my cake good?”
“This smells so good. I didn’t know milk was so fragrant.”
“You did well this time.” Ye Muyu praised the finished product with a gentle smile.
There was no oven, so the cake was always soft and the fragrance was less, but he taste was not bad. It did not affect the overall situation.
Ye Muyu took out the cake and cut it into a few pieces.
She wrapped each piece of cake in oil paper and put it into the well. After four hours, she would give it a taste again.
Apart from that, there was one more piece left on the chopping board.
Ye Muyu wiped the sweat off Chu Ziluo’s forehead. The kitchen was getting hotter and hotter. She was considering whether to buy a worker.
“Go and rest for a while before starting to learn embroidery.” Ye Muyu did not waste her time. Basically, she arranged her schedule slowly every day according to the child’s own wishes.
“Mother, I’m not tired. I’ll go do embroidery directly. I’ll be able to embroider a lotus handkerchief in two days and give it to Mother.” Chu Ziluo was in high spirits. She wanted to see Ye Muyu’s outstanding performance at all times.
“Alright.” Ye Muyu smiled and patted her head.
Chu Ziluo then happily ran back to her room to embroider.
Ye Muyu returned to the east wing and sat by the bed to continue making Chu Ziluo’s shoes. There was only one shoe left. She had been quite busy these days and had slowed down.
She worked on it until the afternoon.
When Chu Jin returned from school, Madam Liu was with him.
“Mother, I’m back.” Chu Jin pushed open the courtyard door and shouted.
Ye Muyu heard the voice and came out from the east wing. He was surprised to see Madam Liu and invited her into the central room. “Mother, why are you here?”
Ye Muyu called Chu Jin to the study to do his homework while Chu Ziluo went in to practice her calligraphy.
Madam Liu looked around the room and nodded with satisfaction, “Your room is much tidier.”
“I came here today to ask you if you’ve finished collecting the herbs.” When it came to the matter of medicinal herbs, Madam Liu was in a good mood. In the past few days, every household had been collecting the medicinal herbs on the hillside to sell..
