In the Su family's household.
Gu Zi gently placed Su Le on the sofa and covered her with a small blanket, allowing her to continue her peaceful slumber. Su Le had accompanied her to the market early that morning, but the early hours had taken their toll. Now was the perfect time for her to catch up on her rest.
Next, Gu Zi went about her tasks, starting by cleaning the steamer and other market tools, which she then set out in the yard to dry. She also began heating up the stove to steam a fresh batch of rice.
Stepping out of the kitchen, Gu Zi bent down by the spot where she kept a bunch of vibrant, green vegetables in a small cart. These vegetables, known as "Dragon Kui Cai," were plucked from a neighbor's field on her way back. They were prized for their ability to cleanse the liver, improve eyesight, and lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels. They were perfect for making Dragon Kui Cai and egg soup.
