That evening, Third Grandpa gathered everyone from the several families and talked about the incident at Fugui Building wanting to buy the recipe during the day.
Gu Jinli was not listening by the side; instead, she found Qin San Lang and said to him: "Brother Qin, I have something to do. Do you want to join me?"
Qin San Lang was puzzled, not knowing what she wanted to do, but he still nodded and agreed.
After Qin San Lang agreed, the two of them took advantage of the night, passing through a cluster of old houses and alleyways, arriving at He Sanlai's house.
He Sanlai's house was located on the right side of the village, a yellow mud house that had begun to crumble. It was now the hour of the Dog, and He Sanlai hadn't eaten yet. He stole a hen from He Shiliu's house in the village and was plucking its feathers, thinking of having a hearty meal tonight.
