The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead

Chapter 64: Chapter 64 Egg Custard Additional Update 2
 

The night had passed, and Ms. Nian Shutong, who hadn’t slept, returned full of energy.

When Fu Yunhe stepped out, he saw a damp Ms. Nian Shutong.

“Good morning, what have you been up to?”

Ms. Nian Shutong flipped her palm, and an egg from the Space Button appeared in her hand.

“I went to find some eggs to make steamed eggs.”

Steamed eggs?

Fu Yunhe followed with interest, but only two steps later, he was distracted by the opposite bank.

What used to be a stretch of tall trees was almost gone; the flattened land still had some remnants of branches and trunks, but the efficiency was incredibly high.

“Did you stay up all night?”

“Crack!”

Ms. Nian Shutong cracked an egg and casually said, “Working keeps me in good spirits.”

She didn’t elaborate further but commanded Fu Yunhe, “Have you learned how to cook rice? Try steaming some; this is going to be part of your live streams from now on.”

“Alright, I’ll give it a try.”

Fu Yunhe mimicked Ms. Nian Shutong’s actions from the previous day, scooped some rice, rinsed it twice after, then added some water and let Ms. Nian Shutong have a look.

“Is this enough?”

Ms. Nian Shutong glanced back briefly and said, “It’s fine.”

Fu Yunhe placed the bowl on the rack and began steaming the rice.

Meanwhile, Ms. Nian Shutong had beaten the egg, added a bit of warm water at a ratio of one to one and a half, a little more water than egg, and some salt.

After stirring everything evenly, she skimmed off the froth from the top, covered it with a dish, and steamed it.

“Once it starts steaming, take out the egg custard after ten minutes; the rice will continue to steam for a while.”

“Okay.”

Fu Yunhe dutifully sat in the kitchen watching the pot, while Ms. Nian Shutong, ever busy, went to the opposite bank and dragged over the chopped wood.

After setting up the wood, Ms. Nian Shutong went to wake up Rubble, who was always the last to get up.

When the two came out, Rubble was complaining about not having slept well.

“Ms. Nian Shutong, Rubble is in a developmental phase; his intelligence is growing. It’s different from the innate intelligence you possess. Rubble really needs sufficient sleep.”

“Twenty-four hours in a day; excluding rest, sleep, and idling around, you don’t even work for five hours. Endure the fatigue!”

“But Rubble needs…”

“Hmm?”

Ms. Nian Shutong’s threatening “hmm,” accompanied by a slightly murderous look, instantly made Rubble concede.

“Dear Ms. Nian Shutong, what do you need Rubble to do?”

Ms. Nian Shutong handed a piece of paper to Rubble.

“This is a blueprint. Can you make this?”

“Rubble can make anything, let alone something with blueprints.” Braggart, cheeky Rubble was back.

“Then it’s settled. Considering your frailty, I’ll give you five days. If you can’t make it, hmm!”

Ms. Nian Shutong’s meaningful hmm made Rubble shiver as he nodded vigorously, “Rubble will do well, rest assured.”

Ms. Nian Shutong said no more, focusing on the results.

“Ms. Nian Shutong, Rubble has made two robots.”

“Good! Go clear the land!”

Ms. Nian Shutong had already walked away, truly making the most of every moment.

When the meal was ready, she also came back, sat down, and started eating.

The yellow, trembling, silky smooth egg custard did not disappoint either of them.

After finishing, Ms. Nian Shutong, looking outside the kitchen, said, “It tastes good, but it’s much more satisfying with some meat.”

“I’ll take a walk around later to see if there’s any game. We’ll add a meal tonight.”

Fu Yunhe agreed, just about to ask what he needed to do today, when a mournful howl came from outside.

“Hmm? Where?”

Ms. Nian Shutong pointed up at the sky and said, “Above.”
