Returning home, it was the beginning of the afternoon Shen hour.
The families were all busy. Gu Dafu, Gu Dalin, and Luo family father and son were grinding soybeans, carrying buckets of ground soy milk to Gu Dashan's house, filtering it, then lifting the soy milk into Gu Dashan's kitchen.
Gu Dashan, Gu Jin'an, and Mrs. Cui were at the stove boiling soy milk, adding gypsum to make tofu.
As for the teenagers from each family, all of them had gone out to chop and gather firewood. Everyone was hustling and bustling, with not a single person idling.
Third Grandma saw them returning and quickly came up to greet them, as usual, asking: "How was business today? No trouble, I hope?"
She had been worried these past few days that County Magistrate Zou would cause them trouble, remembering the Shopkeeper of Fugui Building who had previously wanted their recipe. She was quite anxious.
