Chapter 80 Set the House on Fire

Gu Youyou stood up excitedly, lifting the sorghum stalk lid from the pot.

Inside, milky-white rice and rice soup were tumbling, it had indeed begun to boil — a fierce fire made it quick!

Gu Youyou found a gourd ladle to scoop water and put the boiled rice into a small pot nearby; there was a bit too much water, which would create a clear soup, so she poured the excess rice soup into another gourd ladle.

This gourd ladle was made from a big gourd cut in half, making a perfect pair.

All this rice soup was good stuff — drinkable and nutritious!

Huh, wait, such thick smoke!

Gu Youyou turned her head and saw that the biggest log she had stuffed into the stove had somehow fallen out and into the pile of kindling behind it.

The dried kindling caught fire instantly, and by the time Gu Youyou noticed, the blaze was already quite fierce.
