Having chosen all the ingredients, Yuan Zhou put on the face mask and carried a small stone mill out from the cabinet, preparing to grind the Five Spice Powder.
Yuan Zhou preferred grinding these ingredients by hand, believing that only in that way could the fragrance of the ingredients be best utilized and the quintessence be distilled.
The stone mill then emitted a sound of "Zhi Ya, Zhi Ya". Yuan Zhou had a good command of moving on to the next sequence. As the powder slowly came out from the mill, the fragrance of the Five Spice Powder also became more and more fragrant.
Yuan Zhou stopped after he had gotten a small bowl of the Five Spice Powder.
He then took out the box that contained the Faba beans, opened the cover and poured the beans out of it. Afterward, he started to add water to the beans and stirred them with a transparent stick that looked like a crystal.
