In the bustling small Blooming courtyard kitchen, the three servants, Si, San, and Erlang, worked diligently to clean up the aftermath of the meal. They moved swiftly, trying to complete the task as quickly as possible to spare their young mistress, Xu Feng, from doing too much cleaning himself.
Together with his three loyal servants—Erlang had stayed behind at Xu Feng's request—they tackled the cleanup with determination. Xu Feng, while not an expert in cleaning, was clearly more capable than a pampered young master!
Staying true to his earlier words, Xu Feng had Erlang fetch a wheelbarrow to transport any items they retrieved from the kitchen. He then gathered the two bundled up smaller girls and made their way from Blooming courtyard to the main Nanshan estate kitchen.
By this time, it was well past lunch, with mid-afternoon sunlight filtering through the windows.
