Leng Qi was brewing medicine in the temple kitchen. At that moment, he really wanted to tie Xiao Jiu up and drag him over to keep the Prince company. It was the first time he had ever seen the Prince change himself for a woman, and he was deeply moved.
In Hehua Village of Linhai Town, Aran was rendering lard in the kitchen, as that was the only method available in this era for extracting cooking oil. On the stove beside her simmered two marrowbones given to her by the local butcher. Aran had bought quite a bit of pork and lard today, and the butcher had been so pleased that he threw in two cheap marrowbones for free.
After finishing the lard, Aran hung half of the purchased pork down the well to keep it fresh and set the other half to stew into braised pork. Just as she put the meat on to simmer, the Village Chief arrived at the Gu Family home, accompanied by several fellow villagers.
