Chapter 065 Bringing Home (Part 1)
"What's going on here?"
After Ji Ying saw Xu Qinghu out, she always felt something was off.
In just three days, Xu Qinghu had come over twice, each time sitting at home and chatting with Ji Ying about household matters without discussing anything else. When she left, she always did so with a smile.
What was she really selling in her gourd?
Full of doubts, Ji Ying went off to get busy. It was the chili pepper season, and each year the Xu family would grow a lot of chilies. Some were dried to make dried chilies, while others were simply turned into chili sauce.
Sometimes, when there was not much else to eat, chili sauce was a real treat; just mixing it with rice could help one consume two bowls of it.
"Mom, we are back." Xu Nianhua and Xu Nian'an, the siblings, had sold out all the Mung Bean Jelly and also bought some spare ribs.
"You're back."
Ji Ying was making chili sauce, chopping up all the chilies—although it wasn't difficult, the sheer quantity made it a laborious chore.
