Chapter 303: Chapter 301 Cream

Ms. Nian Shutong was only teasing casually as she took the blueprints to find Rubble.

Rubble’s workroom could achieve non-stop production twenty-four hours a day.

The size of the entire workroom had expanded once again.

Now, Rubble had to continuously produce popcorn machines and also keep making some tool machinery for Ms. Nian Shutong and the others.

Because the machine for harvesting each type of grain or vegetable is different.

In short, very busy.

No wonder Ms. Nian Shutong was making money non-stop, all to supply Rubble.

When Rubble saw Ms. Nian Shutong entering, he understood and stepped forward, extending one of his arms and opening his palm.

"What do you need?"

"Hey, Rubble, how did you know I was looking for you to make something? You’re practically a fortune-teller now."

Just as Ms. Nian Shutong was about to hand her blueprints to Rubble, he withdrew his hand.

"Ms. Nian Shutong, Rubble has conducted statistical analysis based on your previous visits to the workroom, not fortune-telling."

"Please remember, the Mechanical Clan is a precise race that does not make wild guesses."

When Rubble mentioned the words "Mechanical Clan," Ms. Nian Shutong knew he was serious.

"Alright, I got it." Ms. Nian Shutong took Rubble’s hand and slapped the blueprints into his palm.

"If you get it done sooner, I can make roast duck and bake cakes for you sooner," Ms. Nian Shutong said, smacking her lips in the process.

"Slippery, sweet cream and that crispy on the outside, tender on the inside roast duck, oozing with a fragrant oil..."

"Oh dear, I’m drooling."

Ms. Nian Shutong pretended to wipe her saliva and saw from the corner of her eye that Rubble was holding the blueprints a bit tightly, yet he still spoke in an all-business tone, "Since it’s an urgent request from Ms. Nian Shutong, I shall fulfill your wish."

Ms. Nian Shutong saw Rubble quickening his pace and couldn’t help but want to laugh.

Clearly attracted, yet insisting on a serious "data collection."

Ms. Nian Shutong didn’t know if other members of the Mechanical Clan were like Rubble, data-driven yet somewhat adorable, quick to educate yet readily admitting defeat.

Indeed, terribly cute.

What Ms. Nian Shutong didn’t know was that Rubble had already become unlike any other Mechanical Clan member because he was the first one capable of absorbing a top-grade crystal stone.

As for what his future would hold, no one knew.

Because no Mechanical Clan member had truly advanced to the third stage.

After arranging these things, Ms. Nian Shutong went to find Master Fan first.

The two started to research how to whip cream in the kitchen.

The first step was to separate the egg whites from the yolks, keeping only the whites and beating them until they formed a froth.

This step was completed by Ms. Nian Shutong, and as she finally whipped the egg whites into a froth, she looked up to see Rubble.

"Ms. Nian Shutong, this can be done with a simple mixer in just two minutes."

Rubble’s piercing statement made Ms. Nian Shutong clench her teeth and ask, "What are you doing here?"

Rubble glanced at Ms. Nian Shutong and answered, "The oven for making the roast duck is ready."

Rubble intended to leave but added one more statement.

"Ms. Nian Shutong, you should open your heart and embrace new things."

Rubble ran off.

Ms. Nian Shutong was so annoyed, she felt like throwing something at him.

When had she ever been resistant to new things? She just hadn’t thought of it, right?

Or perhaps she believed that something hand-beaten would taste better.

But after this experience, she never wanted to beat by hand again.

Once the egg whites were ready, she continued with Elder Fan to add milk and white sugar and kept beating.

When it became a bit sticky, they continued adding white sugar and milk until it reached the stage where it could be dipped with something and not fall off; the cream was then successful.

A bowl of pure white cream made Nian Shutong unable to resist.

She dipped a bit with her finger and put it in her mouth.

"Mmm—"

Nian Shutong kept making satisfied noises and gestured for Mr. Fan to try some.

Mr. Fan took a pair of chopsticks, dipped a little, and ate it with nods of approval. It was so sweet and incredibly soft.

Nian Shutong swallowed the cream in her mouth and called out to Fu Yunhe, who was plucking feathers.

"Xiao He, come here! I’ve got something tasty for you."

Fu Yunhe looked at himself, a mess with feathers all over, unsure of how to approach.

Nian Shutong noticed his quandary but was currently so eager to share her happiness.

It was, after all, her first time making cream.

Without hesitation, Nian Shutong scooped up a spoonful, ran over to Fu Yunhe, and asked him to open his mouth wide. She stuffed it all in.

"Does it taste good? Does it feel like eating clouds? Of course, clouds aren’t really tasty or sweet."

"But this cream is so delicious, I think I could eat a whole bowl."

Nian Shutong kept rambling on, and Fu Yunhe could feel her delight, even her passion.

"It’s delicious, super delicious," Fu Yunhe praised emphatically, making Nian Shutong even happier.

However, she turned and ran off, calling over Dou Dou and Elder Hua, giving them each a big taste.

Elder Hua didn’t enjoy it much but still ate it.

Dou Dou, on the other hand, was as excited as Nian Shutong.

"Auntie, auntie! What is this?"

"Cream!"

"The cream is so delicious. It’s the tastiest thing Dou Dou has ever eaten."

"That’s right, it’s auntie’s favorite now, too."

The young and the elder enjoyed several more mouthfuls.

Seeing this, Elder Hua was somewhat perplexed. Doesn’t it get sickening?

Why did he find it a bit cloying?

Luckily, Nian Shutong didn’t keep eating; she had to save some for making the cake.

But feeling that one bowl might not be enough, she decided to make another. This time, she planned to have Rubble make a mixer for her.

Speaking of the mixer, Nian Shutong thought of another great idea.

The birthday banquet tonight would be made even sweeter.

Maybe it was the overly sweet cream that excited Nian Shutong, or perhaps she really loved cream that much. Either way, she eagerly sought out Rubble for another rush job on the machine.

At that moment, Rubble had already completed the oven for the cake, which was installed directly in the kitchen.

Nian Shutong and Mr. Fan began to experiment with the cake.

They whipped the egg whites with white sugar, added low-gluten flour in batches, mixed it gently by folding, and then incorporated the cooking oil.

After preparing a lot, they waited; the cake would be baked on a large tray in due time.

As she waited for it to rise, Nian Shutong didn’t rest but pulled Mr. Fan to start working on the roasted duck.

The specific method required marinating the duck, but Nian Shutong didn’t want to wait; she had already informed Rubble about wanting to eat roasted duck.

So, in the small wooden house’s kitchen, one could witness an odd scene.

Nian Shutong was massaging each duck.

A full-body massage.

Mr. Fan prepared the sauce while Nian Shutong used her spiritual power to give a thorough massage to each duck, aiming for them to quickly absorb the flavors of the sauce.

Even the spiritual power massage made the duck taste extraordinarily top-grade.

It seemed as if all the unwanted impurities were removed by Nian Shutong, and even the inner parts of the duck meat absorbed the sauce perfectly.

Nian Shutong patted the last duck and said, "Trust me, you’re the most pampered batch yet."
