The cup of milk that was filled earlier was placed on the dining table by Gu Jin, waiting quietly for it to cool to a drinkable temperature.
Gu Jin turned to look at the dough set aside for fermentation. Time was running short, so she could only use steam to speed up the process.
She poured water into the cleaned stainless steel pot and placed it on the stove on high heat to boil.
After the water boiled, she turned off the heat, placed a steamer rack and cloth into the pot, put the shaped dough on the cloth, covered it with the lid, and waited for it to ferment inside the pot.
While waiting for the dough to ferment, the eggs boiling in another pot were done cooking.
Gu Jin spoke to the young man beside her, "Xiao An, take out the eggs."
An Mingji responded, turned off the heat under the boiling eggs, and used a spoon to scoop them out.
Once the dough in the pot successfully fermented, Gu Jin turned on the heat to steam it.
