Everyone immediately became busy.
The goods that had been delivered were carefully carried into the courtyard one by one.
The large sacks of rice and wheat flour were moved into the storage room first and stacked neatly against the inner wall.
Beside them, jars of soybean paste, vinegar, and cooking oil were arranged in a row, their lids tightly sealed.
Bundles of dried noodles were placed on the upper shelves to keep them away from moisture.
The seasonings were sorted separately. The fine salt was poured into a clean ceramic jar, while dried chili peppers, garlic, ginger, and sugar were stored in smaller containers nearby.
The once-empty shelves quickly filled with supplies.
The small kitchen that had seemed desolate for so long gradually became lively.
Lin Xin carefully wiped each jar before placing it in position.
Meanwhile, little Dong Hai followed closely behind him.
