After the arrival of spring, Fire Knife Village became even livelier.
Because they were busy with spring farming, villagers who normally didn't eat breakfast steamed a pot of mixed flour buns or fried a couple of baskets of wheat pancakes the night before. Upon waking up the next morning, they only needed to heat them on the stove and pair them with thick vegetable porridge and homemade pickles, enabling them to eat heartily and then head to the fields full of energy to work.
The noise from the fields continued from dawn until dusk. People who depended on the weather for their livelihoods worked while talking and laughing loudly, their sweat glistening in the warm sunshine, creating a powerful infectiousness that even mere spectators couldn't help but feel overflowing joy in their hearts.
