The making of the mushroom sauce by Old Granny Zhang and her friends wasn't a big deal, but the aroma drifted to the front and back yards, and even the neighbors could smell it.
The two little boys from Madam Gu's household were craving it badly, but their family was very strict, so they could only lean over the wall and inhale the fragrance.
Watching this made Madam Gu's heart ache, so she couldn't help but laugh and scold, "They say the food from the neighbor's pot always smells good. We make the same mushroom dishes at home, don't we? How come I've never seen you crave it like this before?"
While saying this, she went inside, grabbed half a basket of eggs, and headed to knock on the Song Family's door.
When she reached the Song Family's doorstep, she realized that her two boys were at least decent—they were smelling the aroma from their own wall and hadn't embarrassed the family by going outside.
