Characters Present

Mei

Raven

Start

Mei and Raven went back to the kitchen, and lined up the clay jars they found by the stove.

🔇 N/A

Mei

Flour, sugar, oil, and some red beans and mung beans…

🔇 N/A

Raven

What? You look upset.

🔇 N/A

Mei

Something isn't right… These ingredients are too fresh.

🔇 N/A

Mei

The notebook I found under one of these jars looked really old and forgotten. But these ingredients… I don't think they should last this long.

🔇 N/A

Raven

Maybe the local people knew some tricks to preserving food?

🔇 N/A

Raven

I still have a strange feeling about all this.

🔇 N/A

Mei

Eh, don't overthink this. It's just for making the offering food. No one will really eat this stuff.

🔇 N/A

Raven

Alright… Uh, with these ingredients, I can make bean paste pies. It's a traditional Shenzhou pastry, suitable for worshiping a Shenzhou god.

🔇 N/A

Mei

I've never made this kind of pastry before… But I'll give it my best shot.

🔇 N/A

Raven

Nah, let me take care of this.

🔇 N/A

Raven rolled up her sleeves and started to put flour into a bowl.

🔇 N/A

Mei

Huh? I didn't know you were good at making pastries.

🔇 N/A

Raven

I dabble. I got several rascals at home, so I learned how to make foreign pastries to make the kids behave.

🔇 N/A

Raven

I don't wanna owe you a favor — you found the ingredients, so I should do the cooking.

🔇 N/A

Raven then started to busy herself by the stove. She seemed to know her way around the kitchen.

🔇 N/A

Mei

Alright then… Just tell me if you need any help.

🔇 N/A

Raven

Nah, I got this. You can go search around and see if there's anything else we can use.

🔇 N/A

Mei

Okay.

🔇 N/A

Mei then pushed the door open, only to see a swarm of monsters rampaging outside.

🔇 N/A

Raven

Ugh, great. I just started to knead the dough.

🔇 N/A

Mei

Don't worry about these monsters, Miss Raven. I can deal with them on my own.

🔇 N/A

Raven

Okay then. You can use the hunting tools I found. They'll probably be a big help. I left some in the woods too. Be careful.

🔇 N/A

Mei

You too, Miss Raven.

🔇 N/A

Mei

Phew, finally got rid of them.

🔇 N/A

Raven

Are you alright?

🔇 N/A

Mei

I'm fine. What about you? How is it going with the pies?

🔇 N/A

Raven

All done, thanks to your help. I just dished them up, and they are still a bit hot.

🔇 N/A

Raven handed a plate of black lumps with various shapes to Mei.

🔇 N/A

Mei

Huh? Is this… oh. Well, they look… er…

🔇 N/A

Mei

A bit different… than the bean paste pies I know, with their, um, novel shapes… There are even a few that are triangular…

🔇 N/A

Raven

…

🔇 N/A

Raven

Triangular structures are more solid. That's my special design.

🔇 N/A

Mei

What about the charred coating… Was this also a special design?

🔇 N/A

Raven

…

🔇 N/A

Raven

That was a mistake.

🔇 N/A

Raven

This old stove isn't handy. I tried my best to control the heat. But I had to make sure they didn't come out underdone.

🔇 N/A

Raven

The Phoenix seemed nice. She wouldn't mind a few burnt pies. It's not like she's gonna really eat the offerings anyway.

🔇 N/A

Mei

I suppose…

🔇 N/A

Raven

If you are really worried, you can have a try. I made many of these, and there'll still be enough if you eat a few.

🔇 N/A

Mei

No-No thanks… We better hurry and offer these pies to the statue.
