Because it was too physically demanding, Geng Youran directly handed over this step to Xiao Anzi, a young eunuch who had just come to her courtyard a few days ago.
After Geng Youran entered the manor, the only person who served her personally was her head maid, Xinyi. However, there were some things that were inconvenient for Xinyi to do, so Yinzhen gave Xiao Anzi to her.
Xiao Anzi was in charge of grinding the powder, while Xinyi was in charge of sifting the flour, because the crust of the Poria cocos cake had to be delicate.
Geng Youran, on the other hand, boiled pine nuts, walnuts, osmanthus, honey, and sugar to make the filling.

Remove the dough once it is fully cooked and set aside.
Place an appropriate amount of filling on the flattened dough.

Filter out the residue with gauze and let it dry.
Pour the selected sesame seeds into a pot, stir-fry them over low heat until cooked, and then grind them into powder for later use.

Place the mixed ingredients in a steamer and steam over high heat for about an hour, or until fully cooked. Press firmly.
Place the steamed tea cake into a wooden mold and press it firmly to shape it.
Place the pressed tea cake in a well-ventilated and dry place to dry until completely dry.
