The homemade pickled vegetables were ready to eat, so I caught two fish from the stream and made a big pot of pickled fish. I also cooked a pot of mixed grain porridge for later use.
After everything was done, I soaked the vermicelli noodles I had traded for the fish, then ran to the stream to pick a small basket of green beans. After washing and chopping them, I stir-fried them with lard and added some scrambled eggs. Then I stir-fried the chopped vermicelli, added seasoning to make filling, and prepared to steam some vegetarian buns.
These buns would be lunch for the exam days, not too noticeable. Once the buns were steaming, I picked a lot of vegetables, and made a small bowl of mixed veggie salad. All set.
With everything ready, I heated a pot of water and washed myself by the hot spring at the back.
