Chu Qingzhi took the chestnuts to the kitchen, "Aunties, could you please help me wash some chestnuts and peel half of them? Take some home to eat later. I need to check if the beans are steamed at the old house and can't manage here. Thank you for your help."
"No problem, you go ahead. We'll take care of the chestnuts."
"Thank you, Auntie."
Chu Qingzhi hurried to the old house.
At the old house, the beans were steaming, filling the entire house with their fragrance.
Entering the kitchen, Chu Qingzhi opened the steamer and tasted a bean. It needed to be soft enough to easily mash, and a few more minutes of steaming would do.
Auntie Zhang asked, "Qingzhi, is it ready?"
"Just a few more minutes, then we can turn off the stove," Chu Qingzhi replied.
"Okay, got it," Auntie Zhang crisply responded.
