I traveled through the Cretaceous period and farmed with the ever-changing dog egg.

"My goodness, being a good wife and mother is not something just anyone can do. From now on, no matter who asks me if I can cook, I'll say no."

Lin Chaoyan covered the dough with a damp towel and placed it on the table. After about twenty or thirty minutes, she found that the dough under the towel had grown to almost twice its original size. When she gently tore it with her hands, it resembled a honeycomb. This meant that she could shape the dough into her favorite shape and put it in the steamer.

Because we didn't prepare a large steamer in advance, we could only steam six or seven at a time.

Half an hour later, she looked at the plumper steamed buns and her mouth watered. She reached out, picked one up, smelled it, and ate it with relish.

"It's the fruit of my own labor, so it tastes so good." It's sweet and tastes better than what you buy outside nowadays.

Looking at the three large basins of steamed buns piled up like towers in front of her, she sincerely felt grateful that she was in the space, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to finish steaming them by nightfall.

She took a few out to make roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), and left the rest to dry in her space.

He was ambushed by Ying Zheng's envoys as soon as he stepped out the door.

"My lord, the king sent me to deliver a message: I am exhausted from managing state affairs every day, and all that awaits me upon my return is a cold bed. I cannot eat or sleep... The king misses you..." He was almost in tears, begging his little darling to return quickly.

Lin Chaoyan simply walked past him and continued preparing the roujiamo (Chinese hamburger). She pressed the steamed bun into a flatbread and lightly fried both sides with a little oil.

One and Two exchanged a glance, then reluctantly followed. The two launched their attack from the left and right.

"Mmm...yes...I know!" she replied perfunctorily, continuing with her work.

Pan-fry the pork belly until golden brown on both sides, then cut it into small pieces. Add chopped green onions, garlic sprouts, plenty of cilantro, salt, pepper, thirteen-spice powder, chili powder, sesame seeds, and oyster sauce, then stir-fry.

"So you agree to return to the palace tonight?" The two brothers were overjoyed.

Lin Chaoyan cut the steamed bun in half, stuffed it with meat, and then put one in each of their hands.

"I'm not going back. I finally have a few days of freedom, and I won't go back before the wedding. You all go back and tell A-Zheng that a man should prioritize his career. If he suffers like this for a woman, the other six kingdoms will laugh their heads off. Focus on conquering the country and don't worry about me. I'll go back when I've had my fill of fun..." As she spoke, she put one piece of cinnamon, two bay leaves, two star anise, five grams of fennel seeds, two grams of angelica root, five grams of Sichuan peppercorns, one cardamom, and one piece of dried tangerine peel into a gauze bag and sealed it to make a spice packet.

"Please have pity on your subordinates! Saying that will get you beheaded..." The two men looked at the roujiamo (Chinese meat sandwich) in their hands, on the verge of tears. They felt their lives were utterly bleak.

Lin Chaoyan ignored them, put the marinated beef shank into the pot, poured in the remaining broth, added an appropriate amount of water and brought it to a boil. She then added ginger slices, scallion segments, dried chili peppers, a spice packet, and sweet bean sauce, brought it to a boil again, and then simmered it over low heat for 2 hours and 15 minutes.

No matter how the two tried to persuade her, she only said one thing: "I'm not going back, I haven't had enough fun yet..."

Fearing that the two would be too thirsty to speak, Lin Chaoyan brewed some tea for them to drink.

"Hurry up and eat! Otherwise you won't have the energy to talk anymore. There's water here; you must be thirsty after talking so much! Go get some water." See how considerate she is.

Seeing that the food was cooked, Lin Chaoyan quickly turned off the heat. She took out the braised beef shank, chopped it, added green peppers and chopped cilantro, and mixed it with a spoonful of sauce. She then cut open a steamed bun and put the beef and green peppers inside.

Give the green peppers to the man who's pretending to be pitiful, and keep the cilantro for yourself.

"Your Majesty, please don't make things difficult for your subordinates, okay? If you can't, please ask them to go back, and we'll be done with it..." As secret guards, they knew their master's temperament and personality all too well. They only had no temper with their ancestor in front of them...

"Here, this is for you. Eat it while it's hot! You wouldn't let your master miss out on it, would you... Goodbye and don't come back..." After saying that, he closed the door again and flashed into the space.

She began implementing the breadcrumb plan with great enthusiasm!

"Your Majesty, the young lady learned that Your Majesty has been unable to eat and felt guilty and uneasy, so she specially made meat buns for you. The young lady is concerned about Your Majesty's health and thought of how tired you used to look, so she wanted to do something for Your Majesty by farming..." After finishing her tale, she turned her gaze to her second brother, giving him a look that said, "It's your turn to perform."

The second son pretended to be blind; he didn't seem like he was deceiving the emperor. Guilt? He didn't think that ancestor would feel guilty.

The man stared silently at the roujiamo (Chinese meat sandwich) in front of him, listening to the brothers' embellished and romanticized account of Lin Chaoyan. Ying Zheng wasn't unaware that the two were lying to save their own lives. But the thought that she had made it herself filled him with sweetness, and he vowed to quickly unify the world so he could take her to see the sea.

"Go down and receive your punishment..." After finishing his hot steamed bun, he began reviewing memorials again.

"How could Ayan say such flattering words? She probably just wants to appease me with some food..." Could it be that he really frightened her that night? He felt a surge of guilt as he recalled his beastly behavior that night.

"Zhao Gao, take out the remaining luminous pearls from the storeroom. I will personally deliver them to Ayan tonight." She needs to be coaxed! Otherwise, this constant avoidance isn't a solution. She's not going to eat him; that night, he was just being foolish, trying to push her towards other women…

"Well..." Zhao Gao wanted to say that Miss Lin wasn't very interested in these things.

"Damn it! It's burnt..." she couldn't help but exclaim as she looked at the unevenly colored pieces of steamed buns in the pot.

She thought the oven would be difficult to control, so she chose to stir-fry in a pan, but she didn't expect it to be even more difficult to control. Some parts were not heated evenly, and some parts were already burnt.

After obtaining the fifth batch of burnt steamed buns, Lin Chaoyan finally decided to use the oven.

Take it out after one minute, flip it over, and bake for another minute! The result won't be as good or as pretty as those sold in supermarkets, but it's basically the same. If it's crispy, it's a success.

Despite rolling it out multiple times with a rolling pin, the particles were of varying sizes and the overall quality was slightly inferior because there was nothing to sift them through.

There are over forty jars; that'll last Lin Chaoyan a long time. She'll keep one jar for later use, and the rest will be stored in the storeroom.

After finishing everything, she found herself too tired to move. She lay in the yard with the jar, basking in the sun, and ended up sleeping all afternoon with her eyes covered.

Once again, a cat appeared beside him, confronting Wang Sheng.

Arcadia was afraid; his once unwavering resolve wavered at this moment.

"You're back?" Lin Chaoyan gently stroked his fur, which she loved for its smoothness.

"Yes! Arcadia is back, my master..." He turned and jumped onto Lin Chaoyan's lap, burying his head deep in her arms to communicate with her telepathically.

“Kill him, my master. You must kill him. That kind yet cruel and vengeful man, if you lose, all your supporters will be buried with you.”

"I'm doing it. He's too strong for me to beat, so I have to resort to some underhanded tactics." If she can fool him the first time, it won't be easy to do it again, so Lin Chaoyan will never openly break ties with him unless absolutely necessary.

“You are of the same origin, and you will only attract each other. The weaker one will unconditionally submit to the stronger one, body and soul. It is impossible to truly kill the other. Devouring means you must not only kill him but also devour his soul. His feelings for you are your opportunity…” At this moment, Arcadia finally understood why her father had schemed against Wen Ci.

"Although I have an uncontrollable fondness for him, it's not as serious as you described! And what are you talking about, being of the same origin? Triplets?" This gossip was too much for her to digest all at once. Lin Chaoyan was filled with questions.

"I'm sorry, Master, Arcadia cannot say anything yet. You will understand when you devour him." Lin Chaoyan is too weak right now, and Arcadia is not at ease letting her know too much.

How can I devour him? Should I treat him nicely to lower his guard first? Lin Chaoyan looked up and met Wang Sheng's gaze, deciding to separate him from Gou Dan first, otherwise what if Gou Dan also dies?

"Are you really sure that's your feeling? That feeling doesn't belong to you, Wang Sheng, you were never him..." Her gaze was gentle yet earnest, her tone suggesting she was speaking for your own good.

"I'm not so stupid that I can't even distinguish my own feelings. Of course I'm not him, and I won't be him." Wang Sheng turned his face away and looked into the distance, it was unclear whether he was speaking to himself or to Lin Chaoyan.

"I wish I could bless you..." His expression was conflicted, his entire figure bathed in sunlight, like a dream.

Lin Chaoyan admitted that he was indeed very handsome, so handsome that she always felt that his face was not suitable for Wang Sheng...

"Knowing I was lying, you still chose to get mired in it. If only you had been as gentle as this ray of sunshine in the beginning."
