The third recipe in the space is called Liurong Bao.

Hmm, by the name, it’s completely unclear what this thing is.

Since the recipe can’t be taken out of the space, Xu Niannian had to hide in her room, lock the door, and then dared to enter the space.

Besides spring and creek water, there’s also a fertile piece of land in the space.

From the beginning, Xu Niannian planned to plant something in it.

But later on, because she was busy trying to make quick money, she completely forgot about this piece of land.

However, she doesn’t have time to study this now; looking at the recipe is more important.

The name Liurong Bao made Xu Niannian think of something along the lines of buns or dumplings.

Only after carefully reading the recipe did Xu Niannian find out that it was completely different from what she imagined, and the ingredients required were very simple.

But one of the necessary items was creek water.

Xu Niannian wasn’t opposed to using creek water, if it hadn’t been for the creek water elevating the taste of the Liuyue Su and Butter Sauce to such an extraordinary level of deliciousness, she wouldn’t have considered researching other recipes to replace the creek water to achieve that kind of taste.

She planned to first try making it with creek water, and after the finished product came out, she would study a substitute recipe based on the taste.

The creek water in the space was a very miraculous thing, which had different effects when combined with different foods.

The main ingredients of Liurong Bao were eggs, and also flour and chicken.

When it came to remembering other things, Xu Niannian had a poor memory, but when it came to recipes, it was quite useful.

She memorized the steps after looking at them once.

To be absolutely sure, she looked at it one more time.

After memorizing the recipe, Xu Niannian rolled up her sleeves, ready to get to work.

Luckily, there weren’t many people at home.

And she basically had all the needed ingredients at home.

Following the steps, Xu Niannian first took out the main ingredients.

The process for this dish was very complicated, even more so than for Butter Sauce and Liuyue Su.

But just by looking at the steps, Xu Niannian could feel that the finished product would definitely be delicious.

As a chef, by looking at the ingredient application in a recipe, she could roughly imagine that kind of taste.

The most complicated step was the chicken.

The chicken at home was half a chicken bought by Nanny Zhao in the morning.

But Xu Niannian wanted the freshest chicken.

Which meant alive, freshly slaughtered.

With no other choice, Xu Niannian called Nanny Zhao, who was cleaning, and asked her to go to the market to buy a live chicken.

At home now, there were only two people with nothing to do—Xu Niannian and Elder Master Jin.

The idle Elder Master Jin had gone out to walk around and flex his muscles.

So only Nanny Zhao was left.

Of course, there was also Hu Yue.

But aside from eating, Hu Yue probably wouldn’t pick out ingredients.

When Nanny Zhao heard that Xu Niannian wanted to buy a chicken, she knew Xu Niannian was going to cook.

"Girl, tell Nanny Zhao what you want to eat, and I’ll cook it for you."

Nanny Zhao had been working for the Jin Family for over a decade, and everyone in the Jin Family respected her.

Xu Niannian had always heard her calling Young Madam Sun, which felt awkward, so she simply let Nanny Zhao call her by her name.

At first, Nanny Zhao wasn’t used to it, but gradually she became accustomed to it after calling her repeatedly.

And it even directly evolved from Niannian to "girl."

Nanny Zhao, worried that Xu Niannian would strain herself, said kindly, "You go rest first, Nanny Zhao will cook for you shortly."

"Eh, Nanny Zhao, there’s no need, I want to cook myself."

Xu Niannian expressed helplessly, everyone treated her like she was delicate.

Pregnancy means one shouldn’t overexert, but it doesn’t mean one can’t even cook a dish.

She was both happy and helpless.

Truly a happy burden.

"You want to cook yourself?" Nanny Zhao was surprised. "That won’t do, absolutely not. If the master comes back and sees this, he’s certain to scold me."

"No, he won’t, Nanny Zhao, when grandfather tastes the dish I make, he definitely won’t be angry," Xu Niannian cooed softly, immediately softening Nanny Zhao’s heart.

That’s true, when it comes to delicious food, Nanny Zhao had never seen anyone who could outdo her cooking.

"Alright then, just this once," Nanny Zhao said sternly. "What ingredients do you need? I’ll go buy them."

Seeing Nanny Zhao agree, Xu Niannian quickly listed all the ingredients she needed.

It didn’t take long for Nanny Zhao to buy back all the ingredients Xu Niannian needed.

The chicken was indeed very fresh, still flapping and covered in feathers.

Luckily, Nanny Zhao knew how to slaughter a chicken.

She personally took it to the yard, killed it, cleaned it thoroughly, and only then brought it to Xu Niannian.

Nanny Zhao also planned to help Xu Niannian out.

Since Xu Niannian would be using creek water, she naturally couldn’t let Nanny Zhao be present.

With a little bit of coaxing, Nanny Zhao was persuaded to leave.

After Nanny Zhao left, Xu Niannian covered her face and laughed in embarrassment.

She wasn’t a person that used to be fond of acting cute in the past, in her previous struggles, to be precise, she really didn’t like acting cute at all.

Ever since she had a family that loved her, she found that she was acting cute more and more often.

Gradually developing towards the direction of a "Jiaojiao" girl that Jin Yu talked about.

After sending Nanny Zhao out of the kitchen, Xu Niannian started cooking.

She removed the skin from the prepared chicken, smeared it with salt and sesame oil, and set it aside to allow the salt and sesame oil to penetrate the meat.

Next, she began to dice the shiitake mushrooms and jujubes as well as ham, and the fresh Sichuan pepper leaves just needed to be cleaned.

To ensure freshness, the amount of shiitake mushrooms couldn’t be too much or too little—just the right amount was best.

Jujubes were there to add a hint of sweetness to the ingredients, but the sweetness shouldn’t evaporate too much.

So for one jujube, Xu Niannian only used half.

The diced shiitake mushrooms were cut larger, while the jujube was minced into tiny pieces, and the Sichuan pepper leaves were washed clean.
