The ingredients for making tofu nao were different from what Ji Wan'er had used before. She wasn't sure if she would succeed this time, so she didn't make too much. She ground some soybeans, enough for dinner for four people.

While grinding the beans, she added water, then sieved and filtered the soybean dreg. The filtered soy milk was poured into a pot and cooked. She didn't throw away the filtered soybean dreg but set it aside. After cooking for a while, the aroma of the beans filled the air.

Although Yun Shuang didn't like eating soybeans, she found the aroma quite pleasant and enjoyed the scent.

"It smells so good," Yun Shuang sniffed and commented.

Ji Wan'er also enjoyed the clean aroma of the beans, finding it very comforting.

"When it's ready, you can taste it first."

After a short while, the soy milk was cooked, and Ji Wan'er poured it all out.

She served two bowls, adding some sugar to each for Yun Shuang and Zi An.

"The color is so beautiful," Yun Shuang remarked, looking at the soy milk.

Curious, Zi An asked, "What is this?"

"Soy milk, it's very nutritious. Give it a try."

With the addition of sugar, it should be delicious, Zi An thought. Thinking this, he took a sip slowly.

"Wow, it's sweet and delicious!"

Just as he had expected, it tasted great.

Ji Wan'er smiled at Zi An and then turned to Yun Shuang. "So, do you like it?"

Yun Shuang smiled and nodded. "It's delicious."

Seeing their reactions, Ji Wan'er felt relieved. It seemed that the people here didn't have a dislike for soy products.

Next was frying the soybean pancake, Ji Wan'er spooned the mixture into the hot oil while stirring.

After spooning all of it, she set it aside to settle.

At this point, Ji Wan'er brought over the soybean dreg.

Many people don't eat soybean dreg and simply discard it. However, it is actually a good thing with abundant nutritional value.

Ji Wan'er quite liked this food.

She added some diced carrots, chopped green onions, and seasonings to the residue, mixing it together. Then she cracked an egg and added some flour to the mixture. After stirring everything together, she took some of the mixture and shaped it into small pancakes.

She heated the oil in the pan and placed the pancakes one by one into the hot oil.

With oil in the pan, eggs in the pancakes, and the combined flavor of the soybean dreg, it created a unique and enticing aroma.

The soy milk was still hot, and Yun Shuang hadn't finished drinking it yet, but as she caught a whiff of the aroma from the pan, her attention immediately shifted, and she focused entirely on the frying pancakes.

When the soybean dreg pancakes turned golden brown on both sides, Ji Wan'er served them, giving one to Yun Shuang and one to Zi An.

Yun Shuang initially declined, but Zi An readily accepted it. Seeing Zi An take one, Yun Shuang hesitated for a moment before taking one as well.

Afterwards, Ji Wan'er quickly made some more pancakes.

"These pancakes are delicious," Yun Shuang exclaimed in delight.
