The bamboo basket was surprisingly snug on Anji's back when she carried it. Even with her poor stamina, she could easily carry it with the little straps attached to them. It was as if they were tailored for her. The size was big enough but not extremely heavy. The bamboo used was lighter than the ones Lizi used, making them an expensive product. Anji learned that the depth of a pond could never be judged from the surface. Yan Ping was a teacher who took everything as an opportunity to teach, especially outside the classroom. Hence, this must also be some form of test to teach Anji something new.
Following her teacher's advice, Anji found a patch of herbs that she had seen in Doctor He's books. Since there wasn't any seasoning in the kitchen, the herbs would give the food some aroma after they were dried and ground up. Thankfully, she did not need to learn any spells to use the mortar and pestle.
