Madam Chen and the others had long since been able to work independently without Zhao Yan's guidance, and making dried persimmons was now primarily handled by Zhao Gao and Madam Chen.
Zhao Gao took charge of picking the persimmons—work that required more strength—while Madam Chen handled peeling, sun-drying, and other lighter tasks. The couple divided the labor systematically and progressed very smoothly.
Zhao Yun was still young, so she was basically not allowed to do any heavy chores. Aside from occasionally helping Madam Chen with odd jobs, she went out almost every day to dig up worms for the chickens. The chickens had been bought over a month ago, and under Zhao Yun's careful feeding, they were growing sturdily. Even in this hot weather, they showed no signs of wilting; every single one of them was full of life and energy.
