Chi Yu was unaware of her sister's thoughts. At that moment, she had just boiled the coarse grain rice and was preparing to drain it with a strainer and put it in a wooden bucket to steam.
Because the things produced in this space are free of weeds, insect holes, and dust.
Therefore, after she started steaming rice in the wooden bucket, she took out chives, water spinach, and bok choy from her spatial storage.
She only needs to rinse them with water, wash them, and then cut them.
After she finished preparing the dishes and saw that no one had come over yet, she stuffed a piece of firewood into the stove and came out.
She had just come out of the kitchen when she saw Huang Dani and Chen Xiaomai coming towards her.
"Second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law!"
Chen Xiaomai and Huang Dani walked quickly to the eaves, then took off their straw hats and raincoats, shook them vigorously, and then hung them up.
"Little Fish, is the rice steaming yet?"
"Yes, it's already steaming. I also steamed some taro."
The other dishes to be stir-fried are also prepared. We can start stir-frying them as soon as the rice is ready.
Second and third sisters-in-law, would you like to go and take a look?
Chen Xiaomai nodded: "I'll go with you, and let your second sister-in-law go and check on Zhuangzhuang."
The rain has been getting heavier these past two days, and we haven't had a proper chance to see the child. We miss him terribly.
Chi Qiao came out of the main room and happened to hear this, so she said:
"Second sister-in-law, the Qin family's youngest brother brought a lot of oilcloth to build an oilcloth shed for Xiaoyu. Right now, Aye's family and Aden's family are sewing that oilcloth."
Zhuangzhuang is awake and playing on the kang (heated brick bed). Could you go and check on him for me?
Huang Dani treated Zhuangzhuang like her own grandson. Upon hearing this, she went to Chi Yu's room without saying a word.
Chi Qiao continued to look at Chen Damai: "Third sister-in-law, you are skillful, go and lend a hand to Aye's wife and the others."
Xiaoyu and I will cook dinner tonight.
Later, when the men arrive, we'll have to set up this tarpaulin shed.
We need to get these things out quickly, otherwise Aqing will have already brought them all over while we're still waiting.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaomai, who was originally heading into the kitchen, nodded and turned directly towards the main room.
Qin Mu, who had already driven the carriage to the eaves of the west wing and had almost finished moving the things, spoke up at this moment.
He stood at the door of the third room in the west wing, and said to the fish in the pond by the kitchen door:
“Miss Chiyu, we’ve moved almost everything. Now all that’s left is cloth, grain, and cotton.”
Putting everything else aside, these three things absolutely need to be protected from moisture. Do you have anything there that you can use as a pad?
If you don't have one, a stool will do.
Upon hearing this, Chi Yu quickly replied, "There's plenty of chopped firewood in the woodshed over here. Just move some over and use it as a base."
"become!"
Qin Mu responded, and then, with Shen Kai and the others under the watchful eyes of the Chi Yu sisters, each carrying a load, they walked along the eaves and around to the west wing.
While they continued working, Chi Qiao pulled Chi Yu into the kitchen.
She glanced at what Chi Yu had prepared, then frowned and asked, "Is this what you're planning to cook for dinner?"
"Hmm, I'm planning to make five dishes and a soup. Stir-fried cabbage with cured pork, stewed salted pork with radish, and I originally wanted to make garlic-flavored greens, but I changed it to stir-fried water spinach."
Then we'll have a stir-fried pork belly with chives and bean sprouts, and a steamed sausage.
As for the soup, how about spinach and egg soup? Sis, what do you think?
Chi Qiao bluntly said, "No good, the dishes are not arranged properly!"
First of all, you can't explain the origin of so many out-of-season vegetables right now.
You can't tell Aye and the others that Qin Mu brought it. Nor can you tell Qin Mu that we grew it.
The two sides cannot hide it from each other at all.
"Little fish, there were many clever people in ancient times; don't underestimate them, or you'll only bring trouble upon yourself."
