This involves the extraction of pigments. Gu An'an has done so many years of experiments, how could she not know this?
"Xiao Gu, what's wrong with your brain? We both have one head, but I feel like mine is a complete block."
Liu Jiuniang wanted to help, but seeing Gu An'an making small animals, she couldn't learn how herself, so in the end she could only go there to knead dough.
Jiang Mingzhu, on the other hand, started learning from Gu An'an.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, and this is different from when I first made braised pork with fermented rice.
However, Jiang Mingzhu was exceptionally patient; no matter how well she did, she persevered.
After fiddling around for almost half an hour, she managed to come up with a few tricks.
"Mom, look at me... Is this a peony? It's so beautiful!"
Looking at the layers upon layers of petals, Jiang Mingzhu could hardly believe that this was a peony flower sculpted by human hands.
"Want to learn from me?"
Gu An'an felt she was having a lot of fun, so she dragged Jiang Mingzhu along to play too.
"Take out a small lump of dough and just keep kneading it. Yes, just keep kneading it." Gu An'an's hands moved quickly. For a biology PhD who loves all kinds of handicrafts and has some practical experience, this was incredibly simple.

Gu An'an turned around and saw no one there. Looking down, she realized that it was Bao'er pulling at her clothes.
"Didn't you go to play with Xiao You?"
"Xiao You isn't fun. Your Majesty, do you think my little clay figurine is pretty?"
Gu An'an watched as the little girl carefully lifted a small clay figurine from behind her back.
"This is……"
"Brother, I sculpted this. Do you think it looks like the Empress?"
Gu An'an looked at the clay figurine without a nose or eyes and nodded with a smile, "Bao'er is really amazing, but all our clay figurines have to be thrown into the pot."
Bao'er nodded, "Yes, put brother in the oil."
Gu An'an: "..." What did Jiang Mingyi do to offend this child that he's about to be boiled in oil?
