2569 successfully secured this opportunity and happily made a "V" sign with its fingers—a gesture it had learned from Du Xixi. It took the large bowl of red beans, washed them, and poured them into a big pot, adding a suitable amount of water to start simmering.
After washing, the red beans looked smooth and beautiful, their surface gleaming with a bright red color. As they slowly simmered in the boiling water, they gradually turned into a mushy red color. With each large boiling bubble rising, the red beans danced along, almost simmering until their skins were about to break. 2569 then strained them and took them out.
The bean paste filling method taught by Du Xixi to 2569 was very simple. You only need to finely grind the well-simmered red beans into bean paste on a sieve, then stir in an adequate amount of white sugar to give it the right sweetness, and the bean paste filling is done.
