章節 55: In the Kitchen

Xu Feng watched the two girls quietly working in the kitchen. Both Si and San were generally hard workers, but they were working extra hard today.

The soft clinks of utensils and items being gathered were the only noise filling the air. Despite the hustle and bustle from earlier, Si and San seemed absorbed in their tasks. 

Today, Si's usually playful movements were more purposeful, and there was a hint of determination in her eyes. She chopped vegetables with swift, controlled motions as if trying to outdo herself.

San, on the other hand, was the more animated of the two. Normally, she would be more controlled but the two guests in the kitchen seemed to pep her up. She still had a focused expression, but she was more excited than usual.

The fire in the stove was lit, San had washed and put a pot of brown rice on. The vegetables were being handled with care by Si, and the preserved meat was ready for Xu Feng.
