Ni Yang was already hungry, “I will go to eat first then, thank you for your hard work.”

“Go ahead.” Ni Cuihua watched Ni Yang with a pleasant smile.

The midday meal was good, two dishes and a soup.

Stir-fried Pork with Green Peppers, Cold Cucumber Salad, and Tomato and Egg Soup.

After eating and drinking heartily, Ni Yang arrived at the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Ni Cuihua was already busy slicing fish and making fish bone soup.

Ni Yang took out the five packets of medicinal herbs she had bought, then found a flat-bottomed pot, in which she put crystal sugar, dark plum, hawthorn, tangerine peel, and osmanthus flower according to proportion, added plenty of water, first brought it to a boil on high heat, then simmered it on low heat.

As soon as the water began to boil, a refreshing sweet and sour aroma wafted into the air, incredibly enticing.

While slicing fish, Ni Cuihua asked, “Yangyang, is this the good stuff you were talking about?”

Ni Yang nodded, “Yes, it’s this.”

Ni Cuihua continued to ask, “What is this?”

Ni Yang lifted the lid off the flat-bottomed pot, only to see that the previously clear water had turned purple, “Mom, this is called Sour Plum Soup, it can eliminate greasiness, invigorate the spleen, and stimulate the appetite.”

In fact, the effects of Sour Plum Soup go far beyond these. It has the ability to dissipate qi and resolve stasis, generate saliva to quench thirst, consolidate lung energy, relieve anxiety and calm the mind. Regular consumption can eliminate diseases and strengthen the body, making it a valuable health drink in hot summer.

“Can we drink this?” Ni Cuihua asked, sniffling at the seemingly good smell.

“Mhm.” Ni Yang slowly nodded.

It’s best to simmer the Sour Plum Soup over low heat for 30 minutes, then stew it for another 30 minutes to enhance the flavor.

After turning off the heat, Ni Yang went back to the yard to marinate the pickles with the greens that Ni Cuihua had washed and put into the pickling jar.

Marinating pickles is quite time-consuming, so Ni Yang was busy until late in the afternoon to marinate all the vegetables.

By this time, the Sour Plum Soup had also finished stewing.

Ni Yang poured the finished Sour Plum Soup into the glass bottles she had bought a few days ago, then hung those bottles in the well to chill for a while. At dinner time, they could enjoy the sour and sweet Sour Plum Soup.

Ni Yang was very much looking forward to the finished Sour Plum Soup!

After finishing all the chores at home, Ni Yang said goodbye to Ni Cuihua and walked towards the river with her bucket.

“Take the lead then.” Ni Yang spoke calmly.

“Follow me.” Wang Xiuhong turned around with a smile.

Originally, she was wondering what she could do to make Ni Yang obediently come with her. Surprisingly, Ni Yang was so cooperative this time! It’s like rushing to get herself killed.

What a cheeky minx!

Last time she dared to treat her like that, this time she’d show her who’s boss! _{fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com}

Wang Xiuhong directly led Ni Yang to a dense forest.

The forest was large, with towering trees blocking the strong sunlight, making it shady and a bit chilly inside. Here and there you could see a lonely tomb, making one feel creepy even in the hot summer.

Mandatory cremation wasn’t in effect at this time. When people died, they were generally buried on hillsides or in forests.

Not far ahead, at the edge of a gravesite, five or six reckless teens gathered together.

Seeing Wang Xiuhong walking over with Ni Yang, one of them quickly threw away his cigarette, instantly becoming alert, “They’re here, they’re here!”

Upon hearing this, the others also turned their attention to Wang Xiuhong and Ni Yang, their eyes radiating hostility..
