When they arrived, the donkey cart owner helped Li Hehua unload the tables and chairs and move them to the yard. Li Hehua was very grateful and thanked him repeatedly. She also decided that she would definitely contact him next time when she has to transport things.

Li Hehua carried the little guy and sat in the chair inside the main room. She kissed him and said, " Baby, this is where mother lives now. Mother only rented it since she still had no money to buy one of her own. However, mother is working hard to earn money and soon, she will be able to buy a yard better than this. Mother will then come and pick you up to live with her, then you can invite your friends to come and play at home."

The little guy sat obediently as he looked at Li Hehua with his bright black eyes. His eyes then blinked. 

Li Hehua touched his said and said, "Alright, Mother is going to cook some pastries for tomorrow. Can you play by yourself for a while? However, you can't go out. Just play casually in the yard."

Li Hehua plans to officially open the food stall the day after tomorrow. The cart will be delivered by then. She will prepare the ingredients for the food stall after she sells the pastries tomorrow. But for this afternoon, she'll just make some pastries.

Li Hehua took a step towards the kitchen, but as soon as she took two steps, she felt that her trousers were pulled. Li Hehua paused and lowered her head. She saw the little guy, who had slid down from the chair, grabbing her trousers, and looking at her.

Li Hehua pinched his little nose and said, "Do you want to go to the kitchen with Mother?"

The little guy blinked.

This blink seems to say, "Okay, let's go with Mother."

Li Hehua carried the little guy to the kitchen and put him in the chair next to the table. "Okay, just sit here while Mother makes the pastries. When the pastries are done, I will make you some Shuāng pí nǎi to eat. It just so happened that Mother bought some goat's milk yesterday and cooled it in the well."

The little guy sat obediently, staring at Li Hehua's hand.

Li Hehua chuckled and shook her head. She let herself go busy under the little guy's watch. He is different from normal children. He could sit in one place all day without moving, staring at one thing without getting tired of it. At this moment, his big black eyes just kept on staring at her without any impatience at all. He watched her until she finished making all the pastries to be sold tomorrow.

Li Hehua felt helpless and funny. She walked over and scratched his little nose, "You little guy, why are you so quiet? Don't you find it boring to sit here and watch your Mother?"

The little guy blinked as if to say, "It's not boring at all'.

"You..." Li Hehua chuckled, turned around, and took out the goat milk that was cooled in the well, "Well, let me make some Shuāng pí nǎi for you."

She bought this milk from a man who came to the town to sell goats. Thinking of the nutritional value of goat milk, she asked him if he had some goat milk at home. The man replied that they had so many goats at home and they couldn't finish all their milk every day. Hearing this, an idea came to her, and told the man that he could sell the goat milk to her in the future for five wen a bucket.

The man was overjoyed and would send her a bucket every few days.

However, goat milk has an odor. Most people will find goat milk unpleasant to drink if they don't know how to handle it. In fact, if the goat milk is processed well, the odor can be removed. It is also very nutritious and is suitable for children to drink. It is also good for pastries and will make them delicious, so she bought a lot of it. But for now, she will use it to make some food for the little guy first.

Li Hehua poured the goat's milk into the pot, then put the almonds she bought before into it. She slowly cooked it over low heat to remove the smell.

After removing the odor, she put an appropriate amount of white sugar in it and stir. The purpose is to increase the sweetness of the Shuāng pí nǎi. If it's not sweet, children will not like it.

She will now need the eggs. Li Hehua took out four eggs and then separated the egg whites from the egg yolk. She beat them with chopsticks until the egg whites started to foam. After that, she slowly poured the freshly processed goat milk into the egg whites, stirring it as she poured, making sure that the goat milk and the egg whites were mixed evenly.

After mixing, Li Hehua took two bowls and poured the goat milk into each bowl. She then put it into the pot and steamed it with water. It won't take too much time and just a moment of steaming will do. When it comes out of the pot, it will be a solidified Shuāng pí nǎi.

It happens that there are some red beans at home so Li Hehua made some sweetened red beans and spread them over the Shuāng pí nǎi. This is Hóngdòu shuāng pí nǎi, which tastes better.

Technically speaking, Shuāng pí nǎi can be eaten either hot or cold, but Shulin has problems with his spleen and stomach so it's best for him not to eat it hot. As for the other bowl, it will be cooled in the well and will be set aside for Master Gu's child at home.

"Baby, the Shuāng pí nǎi is ready. Come and try it." Li Hehua sat down next to Shulin with a bowl. She took a spoonful of Shuāng pí nǎi ,blew on it and fed it to the little guy's mouth.

The little guy immediately opened his mouth and ate it in one bite. His big eyes narrowed slightly, looking like he was savoring it.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Li Hehua can now see the little guy's emotions without looking at his expressions. At this moment, he must have felt that it was delicious.

The little guy answered her with practical actions. Every bite he ate was extremely sweet. It seemed like he was in a very good mood. She secretly wished that the little guy could stay with her all the time. She believes that she will be able to raise him to be fat and white in less than two months, and he will definitely be cuter by then.

It's a pity, this idea is not realistic, sigh~
