The only thing she could do was to put the rice noodles with the wine dregs on them and put them in the steamer.

Because of the fermentation of the wine dregs, the cake was particularly fluffy and flavorful, with a slight aroma of wine. Thus, the famous hair cake has been spread, which is also a beautiful mistake.
