As she finished speaking, Pei Qin entered the gate with her belongings.
The women had never entered such a large and fine courtyard before, and dared not wander carelessly.
Si Ya also restraint herself, taking only a quick glance before moving on, worried that if she was seen, people might not want to buy their goods. And today, they were out of money, relying solely on the sale of these items to pay for their meals!
Having inspected the kitchen, with its grand stoves amounting to four and a row of several smaller ones, Pei Qin cast a glance at the ingredients and began washing winter bamboo shoots to cook.
The two chef's assistants chatted with the daughter-in-law, inquiring about the situation of Mother Peiqin and the others.
Their responses were lukewarm.
Lady Fang attended to the cooking pot, while San Ya and Si Ya, along with their younger brother Pei Wendong, stayed close by, watching over the goods.
