After Goudan left, Ni Yang turned back to the kitchen, processed the free-range chicken she had bought from the market that day, blanched it, and simmered it on low heat in a casserole. After the water came to a boil, Ni Yang added the ginseng she had dug up from the mountain yesterday, followed by a few large jujubes. Soon, the small kitchen was filled with the fragrance of chicken soup.
Looking at the soup simmering in the casserole, Ni Yang poured the fish and shrimp from the bucket into a large basin and kept them in fresh water, planning to kill them later in the evening to make Sour Fish Soup.
Anticipating that she would catch fish from the traps, Ni Yang only bought eighteen fish from the vegetable market this morning.
As Ni Yang was busy in the kitchen, Ni Cuihua came in carrying a child, "Yangyang, these vegetables were sent by Aunt Zhou. She said you cured her cold and wanted to thank you with these."
