Sheng Jiu looked up from her phone and saw that Ares had already quickly finished cleaning up the front and was now tidying up the kitchen.
Sheng Jiu is very particular about food hygiene, so the tables in front of her are cleaned once with a stain remover, then with alcohol, and finally rinsed twice with clean water.
Every nook and cranny of the table must be wiped clean, ensuring that no one can feel any stickiness or dirt when they put their hand on it.
Ares did indeed operate according to Sheng Jiu's instructions.
Although he had never done this before, but he has a strong learning ability and even stronger operational skills.
Sheng Jiu felt like it was just a blink of an eye, the other person had already finished a task that would have taken her over twenty minutes.
Ares didn't recognize many of the things here, he was holding a bucket of dish soap.
Sheng Jiu explained its use to him, and Ares nodded before returning to the kitchen.
Sheng Jiu looked away and glanced at her phone again. Finding that she had finished talking, she prepared to put down her phone and go upstairs to check on the water pipe connection.
As a result, when she left the chat group, she discovered that there were transfer records between her and Sheng Si Yu.
Sheng Jiu: ?
She curiously opened it and took a look, only to find that Sheng Si Yu had indeed transferred 10,000 yuan to her, which she had accepted.
Sheng Jiu wasn't stupid. Remembering how Sheng Si Yu had borrowed her phone earlier, she guessed that's when she transferred money.
She felt both helpless and amused, and finally could only send Sheng Si Yu a string of ellipses.
Sheng Si Yu…
Hmm, she'd read it but wasn't replying.
Seeing that Sheng Si Yu didn't reply, Sheng Jiu didn't say anything more.
She was thinking about how to subtly integrate the Gene Nourishing Liquid into her eldest aunt's daily life after she was discharged from the hospital.
Ginseng soaked in alcohol?
That might not be a good idea.
Her eldest aunt's illness can't tolerate these things.
How about just soaking ginseng slices in Gene Nourishing Liquid?
Sheng Jiu felt that this idea was feasible.
Thinking of all this, she went upstairs first, found the remaining ginseng, and then found the jar she had used to pickle Sweet Preserved Garlic.
There was still a considerable amount of Gene Nourishing Liquid left, but Sheng Jiu didn't dare put all her eggs in one basket.
After thinking it over, she divided it in half, poured it into a bottle, and then sliced the ginseng into very thin pieces and soaked them in the solution.
Once her eldest aunt is discharged from the hospital and returns home, she'll have them take this with them!
Everyday when cooking porridge, they'll scoop a spoonful in!
After finishing her own tasks, Sheng Jiu looked up and found that Ares had already cleaned the kitchen spotless.
After Sheng Jiu thanked Ares, she went upstairs with him to study the water pipes.
There are two warehouses on the second floor, which used to store durable ingredients such as cabbage and potatoes.
After her grandfather passed away, these places were cleared out, and now only some household items such as buckets and basins that they had saved up in their daily lives remain.
Sheng Jiu rummaged through the things and actually found a very long pipe.
Sheng Jiu remembered that this was the pipe her grandfather used to use when changing the water in the fish tank. It was very long and could connect to the showerhead hose.
After working for a long time, Sheng Jiu and Ares finally connected the pipe to the hot water from the showerhead.
That way, Ares and the others could at least use the water from the water heater to take a hot shower.
Of course, Ares's work wasn't finished yet, they couldn't just go for a bath in the open after the water pipes were connected.
If it were all a group of men, of course, there wouldn't be a problem.
However, there was another girl in their team, Shang Ying.
So, they still needed to set up a makeshift shed.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Jiu immediately clapped her hands and exclaimed, "I have one!"
As she spoke, she went to the warehouse and rummaged through it, eventually finding an old, simple wardrobe: "Although this thing isn't very sturdy, but it'll do for today. Tomorrow I'll go to the market and buy a better one."
There are still many in the market, some are frames and shades for villagers to use when taking a bath.
This one, though simple, is even too small for Ares and the others.
But pieced together, it'll do for one day.
It's better for them to be exposed than smelly, right?
Besides, they each have their principles and won't peep at their colleagues showering!
They don't have any quirks, okay!
After finishing their work, Ares noticed that Sheng Jiu's forehead was covered in sweat. He quickly gestured, "Little Boss, you take a shower first. We'll use it after you're done."
They are in extremely good physical condition, so they don't mind taking cold showers.
Sheng Jiu had been busy all day and hadn't showered yet, so Ares didn't want to use up the hot water first.
He had already asked and knew that the water heater only heated a limited amount of water each time, once it was used up, it would need to be heated again slowly.
Even though Sheng Jiu had turned on the instant heating, the water still needed the internal heating element to heat up slowly.
Sheng Jiu naturally wouldn't refuse. After taking a quick shower, she reconnected the pipe and then let Ares and the others take a shower.
They were unusually fast.
Sheng Jiu even wondered if they would just rinse off underwater and that would be the end of it?
The group of them took less than half an hour together.
Sheng Jiu even felt...
After they finished showering, the hot water in the water heater only suffered minor superficial damage.
It's getting late. Sheng Jiu needs to rest, and Ares and the others need to rest too.
The two chatted for a while longer. Sheng Jiu asked about the Interstellar Mushroom, then went to sleep.
The next morning, after getting up, Sheng Jiu first started cooking millet porridge, then received the ingredients arranged by the system.
Today's ingredients, besides the usual ones, also include...
Twenty tender pork tenderloins, and a large insulated box containing side dishes such as chili peppers, scallions, and carrots.
Almost as soon as Sheng Jiu saw these ingredients, she thought of a dish: "Today's dish is Yu Xiang Shredded Pork Rice Bowl?"
[Yes, the price is 68 yuan per serving.]
[The ingredient requirements are: one pork tenderloin for two servings of rice, other side dishes are up to the host.]
The pork tenderloin delivered by the system weighs approximately eight liang (400 g) each.
Therefore, each serving of rice contains nearly half a jin of meat.
Looking at it this way...
68 yuan a serving, isn't that expensive?
Sheng Jiu nodded after looking at the side dishes.
She wasn't planning to open for business at noon today, her eldest aunt might be discharged from the hospital, and she wanted to take her home.
She also needed to keep an eye on her little uncle's situation.
After the millet porridge was cooked, Sheng Jiu drank a bowl, then packed the rest into a bucket and took it away. She also posted a notice that the business would be closed for half a day, and then drove to the hospital.
Sheng Jiu arrived early, before the doctor had even started rounds.
However, her eldest aunt's condition has improved a lot. The doctor said yesterday that if there are no emergencies today, she can be discharged from the hospital.
Her eldest aunt never expected to recover so well.
For the first two days after she finished taking the medication, she felt like she was living a life worse than death.
Just when she thought she was about to die, her health visibly improved.
Her eldest aunt was both surprised and delighted: "I think it must be because of Little Jiu. Her millet porridge is so delicious! The girl in the next bed even wants to buy some."
