When the bamboo sticks were done, Qiao Xuan asked Chunyu, Chunfen who were on duty to join herself and Taotao to plant betel nut taro and spring watermelons.
She gave the seeds to her mother-in-law so that she knew when to plant them.
She kept one betel nut taro and sliced them into pieces so they could be deep-fried and steamed later, which went perfect with braised pork belly.
She kept two spring watermelons which could be used for cold dishes at dinner.
Qiao Xuan cut the mutton and made the seasonings, which were better than those done by others.
They had the meat marinated for two more quarters, and had them all put onto the sticks.
