Qiu Dongmei felt a warmth in her heart and gave a heavy "hmm".

Then I picked up my chopsticks and took a small bite, feeling a little embarrassed.

Chi Yu wasn't in the habit of standing there watching people eat, so she simply walked under the eaves, looked at Chi Da Hu, and asked in a low voice:

"Brother, I'd like to put those wooden buckets in the workshop. What do you think?"

Soap making is wasteful of water. Although they have some stored inside, it's not a long-term solution to keep coming back to get water.

My plan is to place the wooden bucket there, and before going to the North Link Mountains, I can simply go there every day and fill it with water.

This way, A-Ye and the others won't have to go through all that trouble.

Chi Dahu nodded: "This is a gift from Alin. The workshop is also yours. You can put it wherever you want."

However, you should be careful when you release the water so that no one sees you.

It's one thing for everyone to guess, but it's quite another to see it with your own eyes.

"Yes, I know. By the way, big brother, you haven't eaten either. What would you like to eat? I'll get it for you."

Chi Dahu originally wanted to say that he would just eat some of the porridge in the wooden bucket.

But when he thought of the people of Xiechi'ao, whose lives were even more difficult, the words he was about to say changed.

"Little Fish, give me a bowl of porridge and three steamed buns."

Later, he would have to go into the cave to help with the farming.

With over 300 acres of land, relying solely on the damaged and small plots, it's uncertain when it will be able to be properly cultivated.

Just as Chi Yu came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of mung bean soup and ten steamed buns, Zhong Yufeng and Wang Yunjuan came over with a little girl.

The mother and daughter walked into the courtyard and saw the people eating. For a moment, they didn't know whether to go in or go out.

It's lunchtime now, so it seems like they arrived at the worst possible time!

It was too hot, and Chi Yu's appetite wasn't very good; she only drank mung bean soup.

Upon seeing the person in the courtyard, she quickly finished the contents of her bowl and led the person to the main house.

As soon as Zhong Yufeng entered, she hurriedly took the light blue silk that was to be delivered from the maid's hands.

"Auntie, thank you for the fresh fruit you brought yesterday."

This is the fabric my mother and I gave to my little cousin to make clothes.

Chi Yu knew that Wang Yunjuan and Zhong Yufeng didn't lack these things, so he didn't pretend to be polite.

She happily reached out and touched the fabrics, then smiled and said:

"I really like it. Dai Zhuangzhuang thanks his cousin-in-law and Aunt Wang."

By the way, have you guys had breakfast yet?

I made some unusual dishes in the kitchen, which were very appetizing.

It's what you just saw Ah Lin and Dong Mei eating.

"How about I give you one too? Just so you can have a taste?"

After she finished speaking, fearing that Wang Yunjuan would be too polite, she added:

"That's called liangpi (cold skin noodles). We figured it out back in the prefectural city."

The Tongfu Restaurant in the prefectural city is also for sale now.

Wang Yunjuan had no shortage of food; she had eaten with her daughter before.

However, there is a long way from Tanshan to here, and with the hot weather, we sweat a lot.

About half of what I ate this morning has been digested.

Hearing Chi Yu say this, she smiled and replied:

"That's wonderful! Little Fish, your cooking is always excellent. Today, Xiao Feng and I are in for a treat!"

Upon hearing this, Chi Yu turned and went out. When she came back in, she was carrying two bowls of cold noodles and a steamed bun.

The cold noodles were for Wang Yunjuan and her daughter!

They have small appetites but can eat spicy food, so the fishermen gave them a smaller portion and more chili oil.

The cornbread was for the young girls who came with them.

Because of the heat, Chi Yu was worried that they might either get too spicy or choke, so she gave each of them a bowl of chilled mung bean soup.

When she returned to the main room, Qiu Dongmei and Chi Lin had just finished eating and drinking.

People from Xiechi'ao outside also came to fetch water one after another.
