Each person has a toothbrush made of willow branches and a bamboo cup for rinsing. They’re not bought; all of them are made by Li Yuzhu with her brothers.
There is no toothpaste, so they use coarse salt for cleaning teeth.
In this era, there’s little industrial sugar, and very few people suffer from tooth decay.
Cleaning teeth is merely for freshening breath.
Xue Family is the slowest because she cut her finger yesterday, and now she’s acting spoiled with the Princely Heir.
The Princely Heir coaxed her and rewrapped the cloth on her hand.
The task of cooking fell to Li Yuzhu.
For breakfast today, Li Yuzhu changed things up.
Apart from the wild vegetable porridge, she also made pancakes.
The pancakes were filled with carrot bits and chopped scallions.
The golden cornmeal pancakes were adorned with green scallions and red carrots, looking quite attractive.
After eating white buns on the road for a month and then half a month of wild vegetable porridge here, everyone was already tired of it.
Seeing the varied breakfast, their eyes lit up.
"Third Sister, who taught you these skills? You can even make these pancakes?" Li Xing’an held a piece of pancake and ate with relish.
"I learned from Nanny Sun," Li Yuzhu said proudly.
In her previous life, she had no other hobbies but loved to cook.
"Then you’re lucky to enjoy good food," Li Xing’an sighed, "Nanny Gui can’t cook."
The Second Princess ate one, then took another, "Third Sister, can you make these pancakes every day?"
Li Yuzhu squinted, "I can’t, I just bought ten jin of cornmeal flour, and today we used one jin, we can only eat them nine more times."
"Just buy more when it runs out," said the Second Princess.
"It’s eight coins per jin, Second Sister," Li Yuzhu reminded her, "We only have two hundred coins left, and in a few days, we have to buy rice, we can’t afford more flour."
"We just need to dig up some herbs to sell, and we’ll have money," the Great Princess huffed.
"Right, right, let’s dig herbs." The Second Princess finished her pancake and porridge quickly and went to find a spade.
To get the whole family involved, Li Yuzhu bought quite a few farming tools.
Now the house has five spades.
Xue Family, worried that others might take the spades, quietly placed a new spade by her feet.
After everyone finished breakfast, Prince Luling started assigning tasks again.
Li Yuzhu was responsible for cooking and doing laundry, no need to do anything else.
The Great Princess, Second Princess, and Xue Family were to dig up herbs.
The Princely Heir and his two brothers as usual had to help with building the house.
The Princess Consort looked after the children.
Once tasks were arranged, everyone went busy with their own duties.
The two children were still sleeping, so the Princess Consort, having some free time, took out fabrics to start sewing clothes.
Li Yuzhu didn’t want the Princess Consort to comment on her, so after washing clothes, she quietly placed her fabric in a basket.
"Mother Consort, I’ll take a walk nearby and dig some wild vegetables."
"Go on, go on." The Princess Consort, busy cutting fabric, waved her hand without lifting her head.
Li Yuzhu exhaled and quickly ran down the mountain with her basket.
She couldn’t make clothes herself, so why not find someone to help?
As Li Yuzhu was thinking, a voice suddenly said in front of her, "What are you thinking about?"
She quickly looked up, almost bumping into Mu Yuanxiu.
Mu Yuanxiu stood three steps away from her, carrying a basket, and looked at her intently.
"Sorry, sorry," Li Yuzhu sidestepped him and continued walking.
Mu Yuanxiu turned around and followed her steps, looked at her basket, and asked, "You’re carrying fabric, what are you going to do?"
Li Yuzhu thought for a moment, then turned around and asked him, "Neighbor, can I ask you something? Do you know who in the village is fast and good with sewing?"
Mu Yuanxiu slightly raised his eyebrows, "You want to make clothes?"
