The two of them removed the weeds cleanly and the roots were all dug out. They were sun dried and then would be buried later on.
Ms. Xu was worried that Qiao Xuan would call them lazy, so she explained to her that the reason why the weeds were not thoroughly cleaned was because the job was very difficult to do, and that they were not lazy.
Qiao Xuan never thought of her in this way, so she did not understand why Ms. Xu would explain this to her. When she understood what Ms. Xu intended to tell her, she consoled her instead.
That was when Ms. Xu became assured.
During dinner, Qiao Xuan cooked again. She planned to use Hericium erinaceus and porcini.The menu included stewed chicken, fried rabbit with spices, braised rabbit pork belly, sweet bamboo shoots with clear soup, as well as some seasonal vegetables.
She had not eaten rabbit for a while and she was greedy for it.
