Bab 121: Chapter 121 Deliberately Provoking (2)_1

By the time they returned home, it was already past midday.

Si Ya couldn't manage the dough for the griddle cakes and made a simple noodle soup instead, which she warmed up and each had a bowl.

Pei Qin then soaked rice to make rice noodles, a process even more complicated than making regular noodles. The rice had to be soaked, ground into a pulp, steamed and then pressed into sheets before it could be cut into noodles and cooked.
