Back at home, Xie Zhinuan warmed some water for a bath. After washing, she called Auntie Chen over, "Let's grind some soy milk and make tofu to eat!"
"Okay, I'll go soak the soybeans now!"
Xie Zhinuan nodded, then added, "And peel some fresh soybeans to put in!"
The tofu would be all the more fragrant and tender with the addition of fresh beans.
Thinking of having tofu that evening, Xie Zhinuan also began preparing chili, mint, green onions, and garlic.
Xie Zhinuan was very deft with her hands and quick at working.
While Dumb Girl went to grind the soy milk, she washed the wok, then cleaned the steamer, got rice flour and pork ready, planning to steam some rice-flour pork.
Harvesting soybeans in the back yard.
Humming a little tune, she seemed in a very good mood.
While cooking, Xie Zhinuan thought of asking Dumb Girl to invite Li Hengyi over.
Yuanbao poked his head out at the front door and called out joyfully, "Miss Xie!"
