She used coal to stew the chicken soup in a spot she had specially reserved in the yard. The kitchen only had two large stoves, and stewing soup in earthenware pots wasn't very suitable.
Chicken soup is already a rich and flavorful soup, and when the system-provided seasonings are stewed together, the aroma is so enticing that it's no exaggeration to say it can be smelled from miles away.
It simmered for an hour, and water was added once during that time. Then it was simmered on low heat for another half hour, so in total it took almost three hours.
After the chicken soup was cooked, she placed it directly on the still-warm stove, then stir-fried two dishes, one meat and one vegetable. The rice was cooked in a solar-powered rice cooker.
After finishing these preparations, Youqing ladled a large bowl of chicken soup, leaving almost half of it on a tray as she carried it out of the courtyard gate.
The gate next door wasn't closed, and Aunt Sun was about to set up a table for dinner. Uncle Yang, who was a good cook, had set up a shed in the yard.
Yunnan enjoys a spring-like climate almost year-round. However, people in ancient times were more particular about their clothing and wore more layers. Although the weather wasn't particularly hot, it was still more comfortable to be outdoors in the evening.
Aunt Sun, with her sharp eyes, spotted Youqing and quickly said, "Why are you carrying things? Come in quickly."
Grandma Sun quickly ushered the people inside.
Youqing placed the earthenware pot on the table that Aunt Sun had just set out and said, "This is chicken soup that I just cooked not long ago. It's still hot. I can't finish it all by myself, so I thought I'd bring some over to you."
Grandma Sun had already smelled the aroma of chicken soup from next door. Her family was doing quite well, but she had a son who was still in school, and school cost money. Grandma Sun lived frugally, and her family usually only ate meat once every two or three days.
When she smelled the aroma, she was thinking of buying a chicken to stew the next day, as it was time to add some dishes to her family's menu.
