I started as a concubine, and I made the crown prince cry with my delicious food.

Foundation in different colors? I've never heard of such a thing before! And those pure-colored lipsticks, no longer just plain bright red, but also come in shades like mauve, coral, and rose...

But what truly astonished them was Ye An'an's incredibly skillful technique.

She picked up a thin black eyebrow pencil and gently drew a black line along the base of her eyelashes. The line was smooth and natural, as if it were naturally part of her eyes.

"Oh my God!"

"My eyes have gotten bigger!"

"It's even more amazing!"

Several young women surrounded Ye Yunyun, who had just finished her makeup, marveling at her appearance.

Ye Yunyun stared at herself in the bronze mirror for a long time, almost unable to recognize that the person in the mirror was herself.

"Big sister, you're amazing!"

"Sister An'an, I want one too! I want one too!"

The other noble ladies immediately surrounded Ye An'an, looking at her expectantly.

Ye An'an smiled and waved her hand, "This is nothing, I still have several things to finish. Come back tomorrow, I guarantee you'll be amazed."

"Okay, okay! I'll definitely come tomorrow!"

The girls were so excited their eyes lit up, and they immediately agreed to come back the next day to witness the miracle.

By this point in the conversation, the atmosphere had become quite relaxed.

One of the bolder girls tentatively spoke up: "I've heard that Your Highness's cooking is extremely delicious. Would we... have the honor of tasting it?"

As soon as the words were spoken, Ye Jinjin and Ye Yunyun's expressions changed.

"How dare you speak like that! How could you allow the concubine to cook for you personally!"

"Exactly, that's illogical!"

The two younger sisters immediately stood in front of Ye An'an, as if protecting their own precious child.

Ye An'an felt a warmth in her heart as she looked at the two sisters.

"No problem," she said with a smile, "I can teach you to make two new dishes, and we can all eat them together."

"Really!"

The girls were overjoyed.

After thinking for a while, Ye An'an decided to make mochi and sawdust cups.

These two items are easy to make, require no oven, and look incredibly cute, sure to capture the hearts of these young girls.

She immediately directed the kitchen staff to prepare the ingredients.

The key to making mochi lies in its soft, chewy, and non-sticky glutinous rice skin.

She mixed glutinous rice flour, cornstarch, and powdered sugar, added pure milk, stirred well, and sieved it to obtain a smooth rice batter. Then, she steamed it until cooked.

Add a small piece of butter to the steamed glutinous rice dough while it's still hot, then put on non-stick gloves and start stretching and kneading it repeatedly, just like kneading dough.

This process allows the butter and glutinous rice dough to fully blend, and also makes the glutinous rice skin more chewy and elastic.

The kneaded dough becomes smooth and shiny.

Next, we'll whip the cream.

In this era, there were no electric egg beaters; everything was done manually.

Ye An'an instructed two strong cooks to take whisks and begin frantically whipping a bowl of chilled light cream.

Whipping cream, known as "milk cream" in this era, is the finest essence of milk and is extremely precious.

The two cooks fought until their arms were almost broken, and the liquid milk cream in the basin finally thickened and became fluffy, with clear lines appearing.

"Alright!" Ye An'an nodded in satisfaction.

She put the whipped cream into a simple piping bag made of parchment paper, and had someone cut some fresh seasonal fruit pieces, strawberries and mangoes.

Everything is ready.

She pinched the kneaded glutinous rice dough into small pieces and rolled them into thin round sheets.

Then, pipe a layer of snow-white cream onto the round piece, add a few bright red strawberry pieces or golden mango pieces, and finally pipe another layer of cream. Pinch the opening closed like making a bun.

And so, a plump, round snow skin mooncake was born.

Having only Snow Mochi isn't enough.

Ye An'an started making sawdust cups again.

This is even simpler.

She had someone find some of the most common, crispy biscuits, put them in a cloth bag, and crushed them into an extremely fine powder using a rolling pin.

Then, a layer of cream and a layer of sawdust are alternately spread in each of the transparent glass cups.

On top, use cocoa powder to sift out a cute smiley face pattern.

When these two stunningly beautiful desserts were successfully served, all the ladies let out a gasp of surprise.

"Oh my god! What is this? It's so cute!"

"This little thing is so white and chubby, like a tiny snowball! I really want to pinch it!"

"And this cup, with its layers upon layers, it's so beautiful!"

They had never seen such novel and lovely desserts before.

For a moment, they forgot their reserve and gathered around the table, chattering away like a flock of sparrows who had discovered a new continent.

"This plump, white one is called Snow Mochi," Ye An'an introduced with a smile. "And this one in the cup is called a Sawdust Cup. Come and taste your own creations!"

Ye Yunyun was the first to pick up a mochi and carefully took a bite.

next second.

Her eyes narrowed into slits with happiness.

"Waaah..."

The soft, chewy, and bouncy snow skin has a cool and refreshing taste that is absolutely delicious.

Next, there's the cream inside, light as a cloud, melting in your mouth, and with a rich, milky aroma.

Finally, there are the sweet and sour strawberry pieces in the middle of the cream.

Several completely different, yet incredibly harmonious, textures and flavors intertwined and blended perfectly in her mouth.

good to eat!

It's so delicious that it makes you feel like you're floating on a cloud!

"Big sister! This is so delicious! I've never eaten anything so delicious in my life!" She was so happy that she almost cried.

The other ladies also picked up the mochi and started to taste it.

Then, the entire pavilion was filled only with the rising and falling sounds of happy "whimpers".

They were completely captivated by its amazing texture and exquisite taste.

After tasting the mochi, they set their sights on the sawdust cup.

Use a small spoon to scoop from top to bottom all the way down.

The first bite is a combination of the silky smoothness of cream and the crumbly crumbs of biscuits.

Two completely different textures collide on the tip of the tongue, creating a wonderful spark.

It's sweet but not cloying, with a rich milky aroma and a hint of caramelized biscuit flavor.

Similarly, it's so delicious that you can't stop eating it.

"Sister An'an, you...you're practically a culinary god descended to earth!"

"Yeah, yeah, how can something be so delicious? I feel like I've been eating all those snacks for nothing!"

All the young ladies surrounded Ye An'an, their eyes filled with admiration and awe as they looked at her.

She knew that no girl could resist the temptation of desserts.
