The pot for stir-frying was stewing braised pork, while the marinade pot was brining soy beef.
Pork jerky was roasting in the oven, and the steamer was steaming salt-baked chicken feet and wings.
Grandfather Zhou stood in front of the central island, preparing the preserved vegetable pork belly.
"Zhiyun, your grandfather made all these for you and Aliao to take and eat on the road."
Grandmother Zhou was washing sweet potatoes in the kitchen. When Zhiyun came in, she repeated to her everything Grandfather Zhou had made.
"So many delicious things, grandmother, thank you and grandfather for the trouble."
Lai Zhiyun looped her arm through Grandmother Zhou's, "Grandma, leave those sweet potatoes. I'll wash them later. I'm going to go outside and put down the bags."
"You don't need to help. We're going to sit outside. I'm quite tired, just leave the sweet potatoes there, someone will wash them."
