My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 508 - 172: Danger! Rival in Love Appears

From below came a chorus of groans, and the idea of going to Du Xixi’s house for a free meal was quickly forgotten. However, Sun Mulin was clearly not among them. Having already graduated from Blue Star Film and Television Academy, he had no academic pressure and said with a grin, "Oh, don’t be sad, everyone! I’ll often go to your Professor Du’s house to freeload and eat your share too."

Everyone: ...

Thank you very much!

Du Xixi shook her head helplessly, noticing it was almost time, and returned to her podium. She lifted the lid of the pot, and steam mixed with the sweet scent of milk billowed up, unexpectedly engulfing her face. She turned her head slightly, half-avoiding the steam.

A beauty is always pleasing to the eye, and the steam lingered around her like mist. Although Du Xixi dodged it, she was quickly surrounded by the misty steam, appearing naturally graceful like a painting. Everyone present, as well as the viewers in the livestream, were amazed at this moment of unexpected beauty.

However, Du Xixi didn’t notice everyone’s gaze. She put on gloves and used special tongs to take a large bowl of double-skin milk out of the pot. The milky white surface was smooth and unwrinkled, wobbling slightly when placed on the podium, looking as if it was already fully set.

"Hmm, it’s done, everyone can take theirs out too." Du Xixi nodded with satisfaction, smiling as she spoke to everyone. Then, while they began taking their double-skin milk out, she went to the fridge to get a large can of red bean paste.

The thing Du Xixi liked most about the Food Department was that, during classes or in their spare time, everyone could make some portable snacks or easily storable foods to share during free moments.

One section of the fridge was dedicated to foods Du Xixi made together with everyone, like pickled chicken feet or the can of red bean paste she held.

"When making double-skin milk, some sugar is already added, so it has some sweetness. If you usually prefer a sweeter version, you can add more sugar during preparation or some toppings afterward." Du Xixi opened the can of red bean paste. Since she had made it herself, she knew exactly how sweet it was, so she only scooped out less than half a spoonful with a clean spoon.

"Red bean is a classic topping, but you can add other things according to your preference, like fruit." Du Xixi handed the red bean can to a girl in the front row, telling them to add according to their taste, "This red bean can is quite sweet, so if you don’t like very sweet foods, add less."

"Red bean paste! I must try it!" Sun Mulin, having just hurriedly taken out his double-skin milk and accidentally scalded his finger, was clearly more attracted to the red bean paste. Grabbing a spoon, he rushed to scoop a large spoonful.

Du Xixi’s eyelid twitched when she saw his finger already red from the burn, yet he was focused on scooping the red bean paste with the other hand. Feeling the need to fulfill her sister-in-law duties, she went over and said, "Mulin, rinse your finger with cold water first. It’s not urgent to eat it right away."

"It is urgent! Really urgent!" Sun Mulin, not caring about appearances, stubbornly insisted on eating the double-skin milk with red beans before dealing with his burn. But Du Xixi, unable to bear it any longer, tugged his ear, "Will you rinse it or not? If you don’t, I’ll eat your double-skin milk!"

"Sister-in-law..." Sun Mulin truly didn’t mind his finger, which was already slightly swollen, as all he wanted was to take a bite of the double-skin milk. However, under Du Xixi’s stern gaze, he obediently put down his spoon and went to wash his finger under the faucet installed at each seat until he was sure it was only a mild burn. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

With a woeful expression, Sun Mulin finally began to taste his beloved double-skin milk, while Du Xixi, reassured, returned to the podium to taste her own portion.

The spoon wasn’t sharp, but it easily sliced through the surface of the double-skin milk, sinking straight into it, and when it was lifted, it brought up pieces of pudding-like milk, looking smooth and adorable.

The top layer of milk skin was quite thick and couldn’t be easily broken like the layer of milk below. With a calm gaze, Du Xixi put the spoonful of double-skin milk into her mouth, immediately feeling a sweet, milky aroma filling her senses, making her squint her eyes and smile a little.
