The next day after the discussion, they began to act.

Cheng Xing, who had returned from a nearby town, brought back all the things that needed to be prepared as Luo Yiyi had instructed, and placed them directly on the stone table in Cheng Bei's yard.

Cheng Bei, who was sitting on a lounge chair in the yard reading a book, looked at him in surprise as he put the things down without even saying hello to his master. He was about to scold him when he was interrupted by another clear and childish voice.

"Tanghulu! Tanghulu! Tanghulu..."

Seeing Luo Yiyi rushing in cheering, the displeasure on Cheng Bei's face disappeared in an instant, and he stood up with a smile and walked to the stone table.

"Disciple, what are you buying?"

Hearing Cheng Bei's pretending to be gentle tone, Cheng Xing couldn't help but shiver, and secretly moved a step away from him before answering.

"Master, these are hawthorns and rock sugar. Didn't Lady Yiyi say she wanted to eat candied haws? I thought the ones sold outside weren't clean either, so it would be better to make them myself."

Cheng Bei was indeed satisfied after hearing this and patted his shoulder.

"Yes, respecting the old and loving the young is a virtue. You are the most attentive among all of you brothers. By the way, do you know how to make this candied haws?"

"I have found out everything. It is not difficult to make. The key is to make the sugar well."

"Then let's get started quickly, and let me see it for myself."

"Yes, Master!"

"Yeah! Make candied haws! Make candied haws! Make lots and lots of candied haws!"

"Cuckoo!"

"Quack quack!"

Luo Yiyi held a hawthorn in one hand and spun around the table happily, while Luo Rourou and Luo Cheese flapped their wings and ran along beside her.

Soon, a big pot was set up in the middle of the yard, and Cheng Xing poured the whole bag of rock sugar he had bought into it.

While Luo Yiyi volunteered to fetch water, Cheng Bei immediately came to Cheng Xing and asked in a low voice.

"You said you couldn't go to the kitchen to make candied haws, so why did you do it in my yard? I was planning to make an elixir later, how can I concentrate on this?"

Unexpectedly, Cheng Xing's words made him compromise in an instant.

"Master, Yiyi said she also wants to make candied haws by herself, and she must give you the first one she makes."

Cheng Bei stroked his goatee, and couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

"Oh, Yiyi is such a filial child. It would be great if she were really my granddaughter!"

Cheng Xing reminded him honestly: "Master, you don't even have a son, let alone a granddaughter."

Cheng Bei slapped him on the back of the head without any hesitation: "I want you to say it!"

Rubbing his head, Cheng Xing finally understood why his junior fellow apprentice was unhappy with this grandfather and grandson. The difference in treatment was really too great.

After a while, the firewood under the big pot was burning fiercely. Cheng Xing used the alchemy technique to accurately control the temperature, which made Cheng Bei very satisfied.

When the rock sugar was almost cooked, Cheng Xing inserted one end of a bamboo stick into the syrup, swirled it around, pulled it out, and quickly put it into a bucket filled with spring water at the side to cool and solidify. After taking it out, he handed the icy crystal sugar to Luo Yiyi, whose eyes were shining.

"Try it."

After taking the bamboo stick with both hands, Luo Yiyi put it into her mouth and chewed it. Her eyes were shining and she nodded vigorously to express that it was delicious.

Cheng Bei looked into the pot curiously: "Is it really that delicious?"

Luo Yiyi hurriedly pulled out the bamboo stick that had been eaten up from her mouth, walked around to Cheng Bei and stretched out her hand to block the hand that he secretly stretched out to try the flavor.

"Grandpa can't eat it! Grandpa wants to eat what Yiyi cooks!"

Cheng Bei had no choice but to put his hand down and touch Luo Yiyi’s little head.

"Okay, okay, Grandpa won't eat it. Grandpa is waiting to eat what our Yiyi made herself."

Luo Yiyi blinked and pushed Cheng Bei's back to push him into the house.

"Grandpa, don't look yet. Yiyi wants to give you a big surprise!"

Cheng Bei was helpless: "Is it true that I can't even look at it?"

"cannot!"

After pushing Cheng Bei into the house, Luo Yiyi pretended to close the door, but she paused as she thought of something and warned Cheng Bei angrily.

"Grandpa, you can't peek! If you peek, Yiyi will ignore you for the rest of her life!"

"Yiyi..."

"Oh!"

Before Cheng Bei could say anything else, the door was slammed shut in front of him without any mercy.

He smiled and shook his head, deciding that since it was the child's intention, he should cherish it and not destroy it casually, then turned around to make the elixir.

But he didn't know that there was a completely different scene outside the door.

Standing in front of the tightly closed door, Luo Yiyi whispered softly: "Grandpa, forgive Yiyi, I really do this for your own good!"

Turning around and walking towards the big pot, he exchanged a glance with Cheng Xing, and the two of them took action immediately without saying much.

Cheng Xing took a bunch of hawthorns and handed them to Luo Yiyi, then took out a bottle of medicine from his arms. After removing the stopper, he found white powder inside.

"This medicine is very powerful, colorless and odorless, and can make anyone below the Spiritual Transformation Stage faint. It can make Master sleep for a while."

Luo Yiyi nodded, holding the hawthorn bunch in her left hand, took the small medicine bottle in her right hand, and without hesitation sprinkled the medicine powder evenly on each hawthorn.

Seeing her quickly finish the entire bottle of medicine, Cheng Xing couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his heart in pain.

"Actually, there's no need to sprinkle so much. A little bit is enough. If you sprinkle so much, I'm afraid Master will sleep for a long time."

After stuffing the empty bottle back to Cheng Xing, Luo Yiyi held up the bunch of hawthorns in her hand. The white medicine powder had already seeped into the hawthorns, and there seemed to be no problem on the surface.

"Just in case, Grandpa is a master after all. If we accidentally alert him, it will be difficult for him to be fooled. For his safety and the safety of the Hulu Sect, we must not be soft-hearted!"

Cheng Xing was brainwashed again and nodded in agreement.

Then, Luo Yiyi inserted a bunch of hawthorns into the syrup in the big pot, turned them a few times, and pulled them out. Then, following Cheng Xing's previous sequence, she inserted them into the spring water in the bucket next to her. When she finally took them out, a bunch of crystal clear candied haws were born!

Luo Yiyi leaned closer to smell the scent. The hawthorn was completely wrapped, and her nose smelled the sweet aroma of rock sugar, which was very tempting. She couldn't help but lick her lips with her tongue. She decided to make a quick decision and knock Cheng Bei down. After that, she could eat lots of candied haws.

Thinking of this, she decisively gave instructions to Cheng Xing, who was speechless for some reason.

"I'm going to give this string of candied haws to grandpa to eat. Xingxing, you are responsible for making more candied haws!"

"But, but..."

This time the embarrassment on his face was so real that Luo Yiyi couldn't help but stop turning around and looked at him curiously.

"what happened?"

Cheng Xing looked at the candied haws in her hand, then at the syrup in the big pot.

"Yiyi... Sir, I'm afraid we can't make this candied haws."

Luo Yiyi was surprised: "Why?"

"You just put the hawthorns covered with medicine into the syrup. The medicine has seeped into the syrup and it is naturally inedible."

"But, but, but, wasn't the powder absorbed by the hawthorn?"

"Because too much was sprinkled, only a portion of it was absorbed. Although it is invisible, it still adheres to the surface of the hawthorn."

"How, how could this happen..."

Luo Yiyi had tears in her eyes, she couldn't believe that her whole pot of candied haws was ruined by her own hands.
