Wei Yuyan encouraged her from the side.
"good".
Sister-in-law Xiuhua stopped being so particular and realized that finishing picking the fruit as soon as possible was the most important thing.
The two of them picked the entire patch in about half an hour.
"Are there any left nearby after you've finished picking them all?"
Sister-in-law Xiuhua was still somewhat unsatisfied.
"Even if we had some, our baskets wouldn't be enough to hold them all."
Wei Yuyan's basket was full of white fungus, while Xiuhua's sister-in-law's basket was half full of peaches and half full of white fungus.
"Oh, so we have no choice but to go back now?"
Sister-in-law Xiuhua found a large leaf to fan herself; it was midday and a bit hot.
"Eat the rations first, then head back."
Wei Yuyan took out three vegetable pancakes, one and a half for herself and her sister-in-law Xiuhua.
"Yes, I'm hungry too."
Xiuhua's sister-in-law took it and ate it slowly.
"We'll walk down a bit more in a while, and once we're out of the mountains, we'll take a break and maybe even catch some fish."
Wei Yuyan was craving fish again.
"Okay, let's go play in the water later."
Sister-in-law Xiuhua also became interested.
"I can not swim".
Wei Yuyan dared not go into deep water, only wading into water no deeper than her knees.
"Oh, you still can't swim? Shall I teach you?"
Sister-in-law Xiuhua looked at Wei Yuyan as if she had discovered a new continent.
"No, I don't want to."
Wei Yuyan shook her head; she was still a little afraid of water.
After they finished eating, the two of them didn't rest and headed back home with their things on their backs. They had originally planned to pick more peaches, but they didn't because they couldn't put them down.
After walking for half an hour, they arrived at the stream and sat down to rest. They leaned against a tree for a while before starting to catch fish.
Xiuhua's sister-in-law is much better at catching fish than Wei Yuyan. She caught three fish in total, two small ones and one big one.
Wei Yuyan only caught one fish and was quite tired, so she didn't want to catch any more.
"Sister-in-law, let's go to your house for dinner later. Your pickled fish is the best."
Xiuhua's sister-in-law had a good plan: she would provide the fish, and her younger brother and sister-in-law would provide the cooking skills.
"Okay, no problem, let's have a big meal tonight."
Wei Yuyan had the same idea; a large group of people makes for a more lively meal.
The two then called it a day and went home with their spoils.
"The two children went out to play again."
Wei Yuyan saw that the door was locked, took out her key and opened it.
"I'll put my things down and go home to check."
Sister-in-law Xiuhua put down the basket and took out all the white fungus.
"Sister-in-law Xiuhua, why did you take out all the white fungus? Let's each have half."
Wei Yuyan was puzzled.
"I'll leave it here to dry so we can eat it together later. It's not very tasty when one person eats it alone."
Sister-in-law Xiuhua took out all the white fungus and then took out peaches.
"Okay, let's take a break before cooking."
Wei Yuyan sat down and took a sip of water; it was still early.
"Let's each have half of the peach. I'm going back now, I'll come back in a bit."
Xiuhua's sister-in-law carried about ten peaches back home, and Wei Yuyan put the peaches in the kitchen.
Place the white fungus in a cool, shady place, otherwise it will dry out before you even wash it.
After resting, I washed my hands and face and started preparing the four fish.
After scraping off the fish scales and innards, Sister Xiuhua arrived.
"Is there anything I can do, like starting a fire?"
Sister-in-law Xiuhua saw that the fish had been cleaned and was thinking about starting to cook it.
"Okay, you can put the rice in the pot first. I need to slice the fish."
Wei Yuyan was to slice the large fish into fillets and cut the small fish into sections.
"Sister-in-law, you're back! What's this?"
Qianqian is back, and she sees a lot of silver ear fungus in the yard.
"It's white fungus, could you please wash it for your sister-in-law?"
Wei Yuyan smiled.
"good".
Qianqian nodded, took a small stool, and sat down obediently to wash the white fungus.
As evening approached, steaming hot food was served.
"Pickled cabbage fish, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, cucumber salad, and stir-fried green beans."
When Sister-in-law Xiuhua brought the dishes out, everyone gathered around, their mouths watering at the sight.
Eat as much as you want, there's plenty of rice today.
Wei Yuyan was also hungry, so she filled a large bowl with rice.
"Sister-in-law's cooking skills are truly amazing."
Li Fu Ge ate with great relish.
"These fish fillets have no bones, come on."
Wei Yuyan served everyone slices of fish.
After eating her fill, Wei Yuyan was too lazy to move, so Li Fu and Xiao Lei cleaned up the dishes.
The day before opening
"Brother Lifu, remember to tell the butcher to give us two extra pounds of meat tomorrow, one pound of fat and one pound of lean."
Also, from now on we won't pay for the meat in advance. Tell him to settle the bill with us after each batch of steamed buns is sold.
Wei Yuyan needs to make two extra pounds of meat buns and one extra pound of red bean paste buns for her opening tomorrow.
Another issue is that paying for the meat in advance is too much trouble. Anyway, the meat stall is not far from the steamed bun stall, so it's the most convenient way to settle the bill with him after you've sold the steamed buns.
"Okay, I understand."
Zhang Lifu nodded and went out to buy some things. The signboard had already been hung up, and now he was going to buy firecrackers to set off tomorrow so that everyone would know.
"Will you be able to sleep tonight?"
Because of the upcoming opening, Brother Lifu also came, and Wei Yuyan was a little worried that there wouldn't be enough room.
"There's enough room to sleep, so sleeping on the floor is definitely enough."
Sister-in-law Xiuhua kneaded the dough diligently, adding three more pounds of flour this time. Fortunately, Brother Licai and Sister-in-law Zhang already knew what to do.
"Sister-in-law Xiuhua, if there are no problems with the seasoning this time, I won't be coming back. I'll leave things here to you."
