Ye Caiping had no choice but to buy 5 catties of lean pork as a substitute, and also spent 5 coins to buy a whole unwanted pig's head bone and a large bone that had been cleaned clean.
Then I bought two sizes of coarse porcelain bowls, a total of 30, as well as two large spoons and two large wooden buckets that are half a person tall.
The owner of the wooden buckets even tied two shoulder straps with hemp rope so that they could carry them on their backs.
The mother and daughter put the ingredients and bowls into a large bucket, each carrying one on their backs.
Ye Jin'er asked, "What are we selling? Steamed buns, mantou, noodles, or wontons?"
"No, that's not it. I'll make some soup or something for you tonight."
"Then we'll need to buy some tables and chairs, as well as bowls and chopsticks. But... after the guests have eaten, how do we wash them? Where do we get water?"

The tables, chairs, and wooden buckets took up most of the oxcart. When the two men from Wangjia Village returned, their faces were dark with anger, and they had no choice but to squeeze onto the edge.
Ye Jin'er took a deep breath. So many things! No wonder her mother spent 20 coins to hire a car.
