Madam Cai did not expect the princess to be so gentle and easy to talk to. Moreover, Su Binglan held Madam Cai's hand as she spoke, even though Madam Cai's hands were muddy and dirty from gathering firewood.
"Your Highness, I haven't washed my hands."
"It's okay. That's nature's soil. With it, we can grow food and crops to feed each other," When Su Binglan said that, all the uneasiness in Madam Cai's heart disappeared.
After chatting for a while, Su Binglan washed her hands with Madam Cai. Then Madam Cai helped Su Binglan cook. The latter said, "I taught your husband how to mix the fillings just now. Here they all are.
"We added sugar to the dough when I kneaded it just now. Now that you're here, we can start making the puffs."
Madam Cai took out a board for the dough. Su Binglan had brought plenty of flour with her, so she sprinkled some on the board to prevent the dough from sticking. Next, she rolled the dough and cut it into strips.
