As Li Huaizheng rode the Wooden Ox Puppet to start his work, Hai Pei and Hai Shen arrived at the First Dining Hall.
"I'm here to cook!"
Hai Shen stated blankly to Yang Qinggu and Liu Cuihua.
Liu Cuihua was sixteen, around the same age as Yang Qingxiu. She was currently helping Yang Qinggu at the First Dining Hall. Despite its name, the First Dining Hall rarely served meals, so Liu Cuihua mostly handled odd jobs.
Liu Cuihua was happy to have a newcomer at the Dining Hall. She eyed Hai Shen curiously and asked, "Do you know how to cook?"
Hai Shen shook his head. "Not really, but I don't think it'll be hard. I can learn!"
"Alright then! How about this: first, you grab the buckets and carrying pole, and we'll go fetch water together. On the way, we can stop by the wild vegetable patch to gather some. Sister Qingxiu said they're ready to be harvested."
"Okay!"
The ever-honest Hai Shen grabbed the wooden buckets and carrying pole and went off to work with Liu Cuihua.
