She still didn’t find it enough, seeing how others picked Chinese toon, fried facing-heaven chili peppers, and mashed them with the peppers, she also stir-fried a big basket of facing-heaven chili peppers, lined up at the rice pounding area, and mashed a full basin of spicy Chinese toon. This, if stored properly, could last a year. Even if mold grew on top, as long as she scraped off the moldy layer, she could mix it with water and sesame oil, spread it on bread or noodles.

Pei Qian wouldn’t let her eat any more, if she were to overeat, who could hold up the household!?
