Bab 118: Chapter 118: Exchange Fish

Having experienced the incident of nearly setting the house on fire last time, Gu Youyou got into the habit of keeping a bucket full of water close by the stove so that if an accident were to happen again, she could put out the fire with sufficient water and prevent a tragedy.

After having her meal, Gu Youyou gathered up the dried herbs, wrapped them in coarse cloth, and handed them over to Jin Zijin, saying, "You should take a trip to town tomorrow, sell these things, and bring back some oil, either rapeseed oil or soy oil will do."

People in this era would press oil from rapeseeds, soybeans, and such, and she had tried it at Jisheng Hall; vegetable oils were much healthier than the traditional animal fats used by rural families.

Jin Zijin simply gave her a detached look and agreed.

As always, Jin Zijin had the habit of sleeping with her in his arms, yet he never made a move on her.
