Shen Wu got up early in the morning. She had been making buns every day these days. She was used to leaving the old dough in the basin to ferment. The effect was quite good. A large basin of dough fermented very well and was as fluffy as the ones sold on the street when she was a child.

I brought back some fresh green onions yesterday. This is the advantage of living near the mountains. There are a lot of things in the mountains, and wild green onions grow almost in patches.

She also brought back some black fungus, but Shen Wu couldn't bear to eat it, so she left it in the yard to dry with the dried bamboo shoots. She wanted to save it for use as a side dish in winter, or to make some pancakes.

It was a bit strange that she hadn't found any traces of wild chives these days. Could it be that they didn't grow here? She was thinking about cutting some to make dumplings with fungus and eggs, or chive boxes?

As usual, Shen Wu let out the air from the noodles and then covered them up. He started by processing the washed green onions, which he had prepared in the morning and had kept in the kitchen, waiting to be cut the next morning.

Gu Zhou woke up when Shen Wu was cutting onion rings in the light of the oil lamp. Perhaps because she had done too much work yesterday, she felt pain all over her body after cutting for a while. She had to rest after cutting a few times.

Gu Zhou went to the toilet outside and came back to wash his hands. Seeing that she was so tired, he went over to take over the job.

He has been working hard for many years but he has gotten used to it. She seems strong, but after all, she does little work, so it is normal for her body to hurt.

"I'll go get the tofu." Shen Wu saw him take over the job and picked up the backpack to leave.

Gu Zhou quickly stopped him and said, "Don't wait for me to finish it."

Shen Wu shook his head: "It's okay, I know the road, the sky is not dark, and the tofu is not heavy, I can carry it back."

Her words completely said what Gu Zhou wanted to say. Gu Zhou was stunned and said: "…The road is not easy to walk on, I will go with you"

Shen Wu was very determined: "No, you give me today's copper coins and I will go."

In modern times, Shen Wu has always been a busy older sister. In ancient times, although she was very restrained because they were not familiar with each other, she would occasionally reveal her past ways of doing things.

Gu Zhou stopped trying to persuade her, and had to take out the copper coin from his pocket and hand it to her, still unwilling to give up, he said: "It's better for me to go with you."

"Just stay home and wait for me to come back after you finish cutting the onions. Remember to wash your hands before you continue cutting," Shen Wu said to him while turning sideways while holding the copper coin.

Fortunately, Gu Zhou didn't do anything. He obediently went to wash his hands and stood by the door as if he wanted to follow.

Of course Shen Wu refused and ran out of the yard towards Uncle Li.

She didn't know why. Perhaps the longer she stayed in ancient times, the more she brought some of her modern characteristics with her. Or maybe it was because her family no longer ate vegetable porridge after she came here? It could also be because this body had good eyesight. Shen Wu could see the environment clearly even in the dim early morning.

Thinking back to when she first came here, she needed an oil lamp to clear the way out of the house. Now, she could see clearly from the house to the kitchen without lighting the oil lamp.

Shen Wu was already familiar with this road as she had walked it many times with Gu Zhou. She half ran towards Uncle Li's house and when she opened the door, she saw two uncles busy as usual.

Uncle Li was a little surprised to see Jiang Yu coming alone. He was eating tofu and couldn't go over, so he tilted his head and asked, "Where's the guy behind Gu?"

"No! I can come today and ask him to help cut things at home."

Shen Wu panted and leaned against the door frame to catch her breath for a while before she recovered. She took out the copper coins from her arms and handed them over: "Where should I put the copper coins?"

Uncle Li poured all the brine in his hand into the pot. This pot was not too late, but the child came too early: "I will give it to your third uncle later. I have to watch the pot here. If I touch Qian Tofu, it will not work."
