Zhulan had just visited the kitchen, which contained only firewood, jars, and other kitchenware. There wasn't any grain or food prepared by Wu Chun, as he expected that the grain would be brought over.
Zhulan said, "Go and see if your sister-in-law has finished counting the grain. Once she has, have her move all the meat and vegetables brought from the capital into the kitchen. It's getting late; we should start preparing the meal."
Zhulan counted the number of people for the meal, including both the Zhou and Yang families and the soldiers brought by Wu Chun to help with the move, roughly requiring food for five tables.
Fortunately, she was aware of the scarcity in Lizhou Province and had prepared sufficiently,
While in the capital, she had purchased quite a few sausages, and together with the cured meat Lady Li learned to make during winter, they had brought a considerable amount of meat.
