339 Good Call!

Jiang Yue glanced at Xue Yan, who was standing beside her Sifu, and said, “Why don’t we try making new food? It’s a little plain, only selling cold rice noodles.”

Xue Yan looked back at her, thinking that she would definitely be able to think of something since she suggested the idea.

“Good call!” Xue Sifu didn’t even think it through and immediately agreed.

“You’re so smart, and your mother is so good at cooking. I’ve heard Xue Yan say something about you having a perfect memory.

“Anyway, it means that you used to listen to your mother talk often and see your mother cook often, so you’re imperceptibly influenced. Maybe you can come up with something just as delicious!”

“I’ve been making rice noodles for too long. I don’t want to think about it anymore.”

“How about this, let’s buy a few kilograms of flour when we go back. I want to think about what to make too.” Jiang Yue said.

“Sure, I still need to buy bamboo mats on my way back. It seems to be on the same street as the flour vendor. We can go buy them together.” Xue Sifu laughed.

Xue Yan was more aware that the new food was made of flour.

After closing the stall, Xue Sifu took the two precious children to another street to buy flour and bamboo mats. After buying these things, they went home.

At home, Liu Guixia and the others were making rice noodles again.

The mosquito net and straw mat that they washed today had dried and could be hung on the bed. Seeing that they had nothing else to do, Xue Yan and Jiang Yue began to lay the straw mat and hang the mosquito net on their sleeping area.

Liu Guixia reminded them that they could only sleep on the straw mat for the time being.

Xue Yan planned to hang a bed for Jiang Yue first, and since Jiang Yue had no objections, the two of them took the mosquito net and bamboo mat and went to her room.

Because her bed was made of wood, there was no place to hang the mosquito net. She had to put four bamboo poles on the four corners of the wood to hang the mosquito net.

Thus, the two of them went to find four bamboo poles and tied them to the four legs under the bed.

When the four poles were upright, he hung the mosquito net on four bamboo poles. Jiang Yue was so small, so she couldn’t reach it even if she stood on the bed. Xue Yan went to get a tall stool and put it by the bed. Then, he stood on it and started to hang the mosquito net one by one.

Jiang Yue stood below and watched.

“I bought the flour to make liangpi,” she said as she looked at it.

“Okay.” he responded, indicating that he was listening.

Since she was so familiar with his antics, he must have known that she already had an idea when she said those words to Sifu. Seeing that he was so calm, she did not think much about it and continued. “Liangpi is not difficult to make. Sifu said that we won’t need to go to town tomorrow. When the time comes, I’ll show you how it’s done.”

“Okay.” He hung the mosquito net and got down from the stool. He moved the stool to another bamboo pole and stood on it again. He began to hang the other corner of the top of the mosquito net as he listened.

“The weather is getting hotter.” She lowered her voice. “I want to make ice in a few days.”

He paused and lowered his head to look at her. “With saltpeter?”

“How do you know about it?” she asked, raising her eyebrows.
