Wen Ruyu left and Gu Qingyao brought the fish to the kitchen, covered it with a layer of salt, then left it there.
She looked at the oil, salt and other condiments in the kitchen and hurriedly added to them from her interspace. Then she looked in the household's rice jar. Many sacks of grain were in the large jar. At the top were the coarse grains - some sorghum flour, sweet potato flour, dried sweet potatoes and corn husks.
Below was the rice, wheat flour, and some cornflour.
In these times, fine grains were very dear and very few could afford them. Even the Gu family, which was supported by the wages of several people, had a pitiful amount of fine grain.
There was less than fifteen kilograms of rice, and about ten kilograms of wheat flour. There was slightly more cornflour, about twenty kilograms of it.
