Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok!-Chapter 181: Custard Lava Mooncakes

Before going to the Capital City, the custom-made mooncake boxes were just finished and delivered. Chen Muxue decided to quickly make some, since by the time they reach the Capital City, it will be around the Mid-Autumn Festival; even if they don’t sell them, making gifts is a splendid idea.

She planned to make custard mooncakes with a molten center. Although they are troublesome to make, for her personally, these are the tastiest mooncakes.

The ingredients for these mooncakes would use a lot of things typically found in Western desserts, like cream, butter, and cheese, but luckily when she was making pizza at the Liuyun Sect last time she kept a hand to herself—

Literally kept a hand to herself because she asked for many extra ingredients at that time, took quite a bit of excess back home, hehe.

After Xiaohua took those things out, she suddenly said: "I’m going to play with Bunny. I’m going to tell Bunny that I’ll return to the Capital City in a couple of days!"

After speaking, she dashed out.

At that moment, Chen Muxue was vigorously mashing and sieving the steamed salted egg yolks. It wasn’t until Xiaohua ran out that she realized, belatedly: "Return to the Capital City? Return?! Xiaohua!"

By this time, Xiaohua was long gone, leaving Chen Muxue pondering, tilting her head: "Return? Could it be that Xiaohua was originally from the Capital City? Orig—" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Seeing Xiaohu waiting to stoke the fire, she paused for a moment, swallowing back the words not mentioned in the original book: "There’s also the possibility that Xiaohua was abducted away from there. Judging by her previous behavior, she seems to have come from a wealthy family. If she goes back this time, and incidentally finds her relatives, it would be a deed of merit."

Xiaohu, who was standing with his hands behind his back lost in thought, paused, then continued channeling spiritual power, feeling the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

Sugar powder, milk, salted egg yolk, butter, and freshly squeezed coconut milk by Cen Lizhui are mixed together until well combined, then heated over water until the butter melts. As soon as the butter melts, the mixture must be removed from the heat; otherwise, the starch in the sugar powder will go mush and the molten center will become too thick, unable to flow anymore.

Whipped cream and cheese powder are mixed well, poured into the freshly made mixture, mixed again, and then loaded into piping bags—Chen Muxue is using a fabric with very poor breathability, but it’s quite expensive, because many people use this material as waterproof fabric, even umbrellas made with this fabric have appeared, but these umbrellas are far less beautiful than oil-paper umbrellas, thus resulting in a niche market.

Making do with what she has, the mixture is squeezed into molds, which are simply wooden blocks punched with many small holes using spiritual power. Extracting the Ice Spirit Stone from the urn, activating it with spiritual power against the molds, the molten center instantly freezes solid.

With just that, the color of the Ice Spirit Stone dims considerably. It seems that activating the Spirit Stone with spiritual power results in surprisingly high depletion, but if it’s simply left there to exert a tiny bit of effect over time, it can last much longer.

"Spirit Stones themselves can also circulate nature’s spiritual energy, only the pace is slower, hardly showing much change in a short time. Thus most Spirit Stones can be discarded directly once their spiritual power is used up, because to regather usable spiritual power would take hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years." Cen Lizhui explained.

"Then if I collect all the ones others have used, won’t I be the richest woman in the Immortal Cultivation World after tens of thousands of years?"

Cen Lizhui was exasperated: "Not many can live to tens of thousands of years. To live ten thousand years at least requires reaching the Integration Realm, but ten thousand years might not be quite enough. To reach the True Immortal Realm and remain indestructible would be safer, all while ensuring not to get killed by foes; additionally, the strong ones in the True Immortal Realm aren’t lacking for money."

Chen Muxue, who was starting to steam the custard filling, shrugged: "I’m just saying."

Lin Qing sidled over: "Just now your eyes were practically glowing green, you almost had ’short of money’ written on your forehead."

He leaned over to take a look: "This yellow slop... looks kind of disgusting..."
