But by sheer coincidence, he arrived just in tirance Courtyard and hurried after her He was surprised to see his ure was surrounded by a handful of servants and old redients were set out by her side
For example, weeds…
Wildflowers…
And other unknown plants…
Song Jiaoyue barely avoided laughing out loud, but watched as she pointed ast the flowers and plants, filled with inner self-confidence
When he drew closer, he heard her speak ”Don’t call these ones weeds They can actually improve flavor as well It’s rare to find them in this season, so they mustn’t be frozen Put them in a roo plants for garnishes, the etables Also, you have to soak the beans ahead of ti for today?” Beans etarian dishes, so of course she had to probe and make sure

”Mother, why not rest a bit?” he reminded from the side

This one’s made preparations for sixteen different dishes in just this bit of time Madame Xiu, come over and rest You can see to the rest later”

”Actually, we could redients,” said Bai Xiangxiu
”I can go gather so Jiaoyue hastened to say He wanted to take part in so After all, this was the old master’s birthday, so a son should naturally expend some effort
”What other dishes can weasked as she sat down (or, as she had Bai Xiangxiu sit down?)
”I want to gather soxiu ”Well, beets made with peaches, a type of cold dish Then we can have pickled vegetables with bean curd We don’t have anything pickled vegetables here, so you can send soet it from Winter Garden I have a lot there After that, there’s bitterIf we make rant spicy lotus root, which we can carve into so presentable as well”
When she finished, she saw both Madaave a start, her face turning red ”What… what is it?”
Madaht that brain of yours had so many dishes I haven’t even heard of these ones before”
”They’re, they’re all commonplace dishes” Did they need to be so moved? Weren’t you the ones who asked me to come help you in the first place? If I couldn’t help out when you were so busy, then ould be the point of ht of herself as a sincere person who did earnest work
