Wufu could fight, kill, carve, and even roast meat, but make sweets?
It seemed she couldn't!
But while she had never eaten pork, she had seen pigs run; Wufu had watched others make cakes.
Therefore, due to Wufu's arrival, the kitchen at Wu Residence suddenly became busy, arranging a small basket of eggs, flour, fruit, cow's milk, and other things according to her instructions.
In later ages, making a cake was quite simple, but here there were no baking tools, and everything had to be simplified.
First, the egg whites and yolks were separated, beaten until they formed fish eye-like bubbles, then fine sugar was added, the mixture beaten again, repeating the process two or three times until it thickened.
The beating continued until the egg whites could pull into curved peaks; when lifting the chopsticks from the beaten whites, a short, stiff peak indicated a job well done.
