"We are having dinner now. Do you two naughty kids still want to eat?" Zhang said.

"Mom, let me eat." Yun Yiyi didn't fight with Third Brother Yun for the food. She sat down next to Zhang.

"Mom, I want to eat too." Brother Yun San hurriedly sat down and picked up his chopsticks to eat.

Tonight, Zhang stir-fried pork liver with pickled peppers, pickled ginger, and dried peppers, and added garlic slices before serving.

Zhang also made a vegetable soup with cabbage and two eggs. The staple food was the pancake made by Zhang. It was the kind of pancake made by rolling out a thin sheet of dough, simply flipping it over in the pot, and it was cooked. When eating, it was rolled with vegetables, and it tasted like the aroma of vegetables and the wheat aroma of pancakes, which was especially delicious.

However, Zhang didn't make it very often. It was mainly because it was too troublesome to make, and the Yun family all had big appetites, so they had to make a large stack every time to eat enough. Today, Zhang made it because she had extra time.

Yun Yiyi wrapped a few pieces of stir-fried pork liver in the pancake, put the pancake in her mouth and took a bite. It was fragrant and spicy, and so delicious.

"Mom, the food you cooked is so delicious." Yun Yiyi said indistinctly while eating a cake. She was afraid that Zhang couldn't hear clearly, so she gave a thumbs up.

"Mom, it's delicious. I love it." Brother Yun San also hurriedly praised.

"Yes, wife. You worked hard cooking today. Well, did you make many pancakes tonight? Can we still eat pancakes tomorrow morning?" Yun the Butcher asked uncertainly.

"Don't worry about eating. I made a basket of cakes this afternoon, enough for tomorrow morning. If you like them, I will make them for you next time." Zhang was very happy to see that everyone liked the food she cooked.

"Mom, you can fry some spicy cabbage tomorrow morning and we can eat it with rolls." Wow, Third Brother Yun has ordered all the dishes for tomorrow morning.

"Mom, let's cook some mung bean soup tomorrow morning."

"Dad, I remember we bought mung beans in the capital, right?" Yun Yiyi looked at Yun the Butcher uncertainly.

"I bought a lot, Yiyi. If you want to drink mung bean soup, ask your mother to get up early tomorrow morning to make it for you." Yun the butcher said readily.

"Mom, tomorrow morning, when you cook the mung bean soup, when the mung beans start to boil, pour all the water into a clay pot. Save it for us to drink tomorrow morning. Mung bean water is especially good for cooling down the summer heat."

"Then, continue to add water to the pot to cook the mung bean soup." Yun Yiyi said.

"Okay, then I'll put more water in the pot tomorrow and fill two large jars. Let the mung bean water cool down before drinking it. It's cold and I'm sure you all like it." Zhang said after thinking for a while.

"Wife, tomorrow morning first cook mung bean soup, then stir-fry some vegetables and eat some pancakes. That will be enough for breakfast. After all, there won't be that much time to cook in the morning." Yun the butcher said with his head tilted.

"Okay, I understand, Boss." Zhang replied.

Yun Yiyi and the others were busy all afternoon and were hungry, so they ate quickly. After dinner, Zhang asked everyone to take turns to wipe themselves. After the children changed into clean clothes, she drove them to bed.

Butcher Yun went to add grass and water to the donkey. When he came back, the children were all asleep. Only Zhang was washing clothes.

"Wife, it's getting dark now. Shall I take out our meat and fish and smoke them overnight?" Yun the butcher said in a low voice.

"Okay, boss, go ahead and do it. I'll help you after I finish washing the clothes."

"it is good."

Yun the butcher first built a fire, then took down the baskets of meat and fish from the donkey cart and placed them next to the fire.

Then, Yun the butcher took a bundle of thicker sticks from the firewood pile. He used the sticks to build a few simple wooden racks on the fire. After that, he hung the meat and fish on the wooden racks and let the fire smoke them.

"Master, I have washed all the clothes and hung them up. Are you done?" Zhang asked as she sat down by the fire.

"I've already prepared everything, wife. Tomorrow morning I'll take my eldest brother to the mountain to fetch water again. We have a lot of water at home, so we must store more."

"Okay, then wake me up early tomorrow morning to cook. It's not easy to cook mung beans until they bloom, and I'm afraid there won't be enough time in the morning." Zhang said worriedly.

"Wife, I'm telling you, wash the mung beans now, pour them into the pot, and add water. When you cook them tomorrow morning, the mung beans will bloom more easily."

"Boss, you always have more ideas. Why didn't I think of it?" Zhang patted her head and stood up quickly to look for mung beans on the donkey cart.

Zhang worked very quickly. In a few minutes, she washed the mung beans and poured them into the pot. Then, she added half a pot of water.

"Wife, go to bed. I'll stay here for a while and then go to bed too."

"Okay, then I'll go to bed first, and you should go to bed soon too." Zhang said while yawning.

"Don't worry, it won't be late."

Zhang went to sleep on the mat and fell asleep almost as soon as she lay down. She was already sleepy after a busy day.

Butcher Yun waited for more than half an hour, turned over all the meat and fish, added more firewood to the fire, and then went to bed.

Yun the Butcher lay down for a few minutes and began to snore.

Yun Yiyi waited for a while, making sure everyone was asleep, before she got up quietly.

She walked behind a tree and slipped into the space. She picked some peanuts first and put the peanut vines aside. Then, she went to check the vegetables she had planted before and found that they had sprouted.

Yun Yiyi looked carefully and felt that the seedlings all looked the same and she couldn't tell them apart. Forget it, she would wait until the vegetables grew longer.

She picked up the bucket and watered the seedlings. Then, she held a bundle of peanut seedlings and slipped out of the space. She put the peanut seedlings in the basket in front of the donkey.

As soon as the little donkey saw Yun Yiyi coming, it stood up. As soon as Yun Yiyi put down the peanut vines, it started eating them. Yun Yiyi touched the little donkey's head, and the little donkey also touched Yun Yiyi's hand with its head.

Yun Yiyi smiled happily. She waited for the little donkey to finish eating the peanut vines, and then she took out a small basin of corn kernels from the space for the little donkey to eat.

She took some time to check on the fire where the fish was being smoked and found that the firewood was about to go out. She hastily added more firewood, and when it was lit, she stood up and touched the meat and fish hanging on the wooden rack. The skin was already very dry. However, there was still moisture inside, so it would definitely not work if stored for a long time.

Yun Yiyi waited until the donkey had finished eating the corn kernels and drinking the water. Then, she went to the fire and found a burning stick. She carefully checked the basket and the ground to see if there were any peanut stalks or corn kernels left. Of course, there were none.

Yun Yiyi put the still burning stick back into the fire. She walked behind a tree and slipped into the space. She found that the corn in the space could be picked, so Yun Yiyi turned into a laborer and started picking the corn.
