When the outer layer of the bamboo tube began to char, the rice inside was ready, and An Jing had already sliced the mutton and placed it on the two tables.
Worried that the four children would struggle to eat the mutton, An Jing cut theirs into especially small pieces, but the children only sniffed the aroma and did not care for it.
The four children preferred to eat the bamboo tube rice, which was not only fragrant but also especially delicious, and they ate it with relish.
The bamboo tube rice, soft and flavorful with the freshness of bamboo and the aroma of rice, was liked not only by the children but also by the Emperor of Xiyun and the others.
