The tomatoes picked during the day were all distributed by Su Yunjin to Madam Lu and the others. Additionally, she arranged for someone to send a basket of tomatoes to Madam Qin's house.
As for the fresh lotus roots dug from the fish pond, along with fish and shrimps, Su Yunjin took them to the kitchen and asked the cook to prepare them for dinner.
The fish and shrimps were personally caught by Su Yunjin today, and the tomatoes and lotus roots were especially fresh. In the hot weather, Su Yunjin wanted to eat something refreshing and appetizing, so she had the kitchen make a cold lotus root salad, cook a bowl of tomato egg soup, prepare a serving of cold tomato noodles, and as for the fish and shrimps, they could be chilled using ice retrieved from the ice cellar.
After Su Yunjin gave the orders, the cook prepared everything according to her instructions.
