This stuff needed to be roasted slowly. To get what Du Heng needed, he couldn't be impatient; it was a classic example of slow work yielding fine results. The fire couldn't be too big, or it would burn easily and the sheep's blood would be wasted. If the fire was too small, it wouldn't dry easily. Even if the fire was moderate, a moment of carelessness or stirring too slowly would still cause it to burn. Therefore, Du Heng was prepared for a long battle.
Du Ping was bored alone in the living room. He had been home by himself for the past month and was going stir-crazy. So, after a short while, he brought his Meal and a Small Stool to the kitchen, having his Meal while chatting with Du Heng.
