"Senior Brother, here!"

Lin Xue handed one of the candied hawthorns to Hei Jiao.

Then he handed one to Li Chuandao as well.

"Master, you'll have one too!"

Li Chuandao looked at the candied hawthorn handed to him and smiled with satisfaction.

"I don't like sour food, you guys eat it yourselves!"

He also noticed that his youngest apprentice had only bought three sticks and didn't intend to compete with them for the food.

"Master, just try one, the biggest one on your head is for you, I'll just eat the small one!"

Lin Xue wanted to buy another one, but unfortunately she only had three coins left.

Two coins could buy a small dozen talismans; any less and you couldn't buy any more.

"Eat it, just one!"

At Lin Xue's repeated requests, Li Chuandao took the candied hawthorn and pinched off the very top one with his hand.

Then I carefully put it in my mouth.

The sweet and sour taste filled his mouth, and he couldn't remember the last time he had eaten candied hawthorn.

It seems that when he was still learning Taoism from his master, he could occasionally eat a skewer.

Since he started his own business and took over the family, he has never been willing to buy such food.

"Alright, Master, you can have one. You can have the rest!"

After handing the remaining candied hawthorns back to Lin Xue, Li Chuandao began to lead the way.

Lin Xue didn't insist any further and simply picked up the candied hawthorn and took a bite.

"Hmm~"

"It's so sour!"

After taking a bite, Lin Xue realized that the hawthorn was really sour.

His mouth immediately overflowed with saliva, and he couldn't help but swallow. Then his entire face contorted in pain.

"Junior Sister, you can't be serious, can you?"

Hei Jiao couldn't help but laugh as he looked at his junior sister's expressive face.

"Senior brother, please stop making fun of me. I really can't eat this!"

She pinched off the one she had bitten off and then stuffed the rest into her master's hand.

"Master, you should do it. I really doubt your sense of taste; how can you eat such sour things without any expression!"

Li Chuandao originally didn't want to take it from his young apprentice, but seeing the unresolved frown on the other's face, he decided not to return it.

It seems my little apprentice really can't handle sour food!

"Since you really don't like it, then I'll do it for you!"

Li Chuandao found the candied hawthorns to be delicious, with a sweet and sour taste, and also appetizing.

Why did my little apprentice get so sarcastic?

Back at the inn, Lin Xue gave the remaining string of candied hawthorns to Tianze.

Then I poured a large glass of water into the kettle and gulped it down.

"Thank you, Junior Sister! You really dote on me the most, and you even know I love candied hawthorns!"

Lin Xue's eyes widened as she watched Tianze devour candied hawthorns one after another.

Aren't they jealous?

Forget it, I can't compare...

He took the pork that Li Chuandao had bought and went to the kitchen.

The piece of pork I bought today is quite large, and it has three layers of fat and lean meat, so Lin Xue plans to make braised pork.

I stir-fried another plate of hot and sour shredded potatoes, and then I noticed a small mountain of cabbages piled up in the corner.

I also looked at several empty jars in the kitchen.

Lin Xue plans to pickle some sauerkraut when she has time.

Knowing that her senior brothers had big appetites, Lin Xue also prepared a pumpkin soup for them.

The four of them had a simple dinner. Lin Xue's favorite dish was hot and sour shredded potatoes, while her master and two senior brothers preferred braised pork.

Lin Xue felt tired after eating two pieces, but her two senior brothers and master finished the braised pork piece after piece and used the remaining soup to soak rice.

They didn't start eating the remaining shredded potatoes until the plate of braised pork was as clean as if a dog had licked it.

"These shredded potatoes are stir-fried well, very appetizing!"

After taking a bite, Li Chuandao felt that the greasiness from the braised pork was immediately relieved by the hot and sour shredded potatoes.

"Mmm, my junior sister's cooking skills are getting better and better!"

Second Senior Brother Tianze nodded repeatedly.

"From now on, we should let our junior sister cook more often. When I have time to go to the mountains to hunt some game, I'll have her cook delicious food for us!"

After the four of them finished eating, Tianze was in charge of washing the dishes and pots, while Lin Xue changed out of the clothes she was wearing that day and took them to the well to wash.

She didn't need to wash the clothes of her senior brothers and masters.

Li Chuandao said that there is a difference between men and women, and his clothes were always provided by his eldest and second eldest brothers.

After washing the clothes, I hung them on the clothesline to dry.

Lin Xue looked at the long rope and decided to find time to make some clothes drying racks.

Otherwise, clothes will always have a mark after drying, and they won't look good when worn.

After finishing all their tasks, the three siblings sat in the courtyard to admire the moon.

As for the work in the morgue, with two senior brothers there, Lin Xue never needed to worry about it.

Li Chuandao, on the other hand, was in his room meditating and cultivating.

"Senior brothers, since we're just killing time anyway, why don't you make me a few clothes hangers?"

As Lin Xue spoke, she brought over a few bamboo stalks.

Then I briefly explained the function of the clothes hanger to the two of them, and the three of them quickly got to work.

The eldest brother cut the bamboo into appropriately sized pieces.

Lin Xue drilled a hole in the middle of the bamboo strip.

Second Senior Brother Tianze bent the wire into a suitable arc and then inserted it through the small hole to secure it.

Soon, the three of them had made twenty or thirty clothes hangers.

"Junior Sister, you know what, this thing of yours is actually quite useful!"

Tianze hung the clothes on clothes hangers, feeling that it would be convenient to hang them in the closet or to dry them this way.

More clothes can be hung on the clothesline.
