Du Xixi had a new idea spring to mind—perhaps she could try something new with the sour soup? Thinking this, her hand, which had been resting on the shepherd's purse, paused for a moment before moving to the fresh celery beside it.
No one specified that only one type of vegetable could be used to make sour soup; maybe someone had tried before, but Du Xixi hadn't yet. So today, she planned to make a breakthrough by using both shepherd's purse and celery together.
The shepherd's purse was fresh, and the celery crisp, layered dark and light at the bottom, looking incredibly fresh and appealing. Du Xixi then poured the pot of flour water cooked by 2569 into it, added yeast amidst the steaming mist, and after covering it with a lid, left everything to time.
"The sour soup needs another four or five days; let's taste it together then." Du Xixi asked 2569 to move the heavy clay pot to the corner and then opened the fridge, taking out a jar of bright yellow pickled chicken feet.
