Chapter 544 Why Didn't They Fall for It?

Mrs. Chu brought over some buns, so Su Yunjin didn't bother cooking dinner that evening, just ate the buns that Mrs. Chu had delivered—a whole basketful of them.

Su Yunjin counted, and there were more than ten! That many buns were enough for her and Gu Ya to have for dinner. Auntie Song from next door would sometimes bring them pork bones without meat for making soup. That afternoon, Auntie Song had brought over two large pork bones again.

Su Yunjin fished the soaked pork bones out of the wooden basin and rinsed them thoroughly with fresh water. Before putting them in the pot, she had Gu Ya chop the bones in two places, breaking them in the middle, so that the bones would be more fragrant when stewed, allowing the bone marrow to infuse the soup fully.

While the soup was simmering in the pot, they steamed the buns on top. Once the soup was done, the buns would be ready to eat. A big bowl of pork bone soup paired with Mrs. Chu's pork and cabbage buns.
