In the evening, they stewed a pot of appetite-stimulating soup with diced meat, radish, and glass noodles. Without eggs or tofu, they made two vegetable pancakes for the children and prepared a pot of milk powder for each. The adults didn't make staple foods, as they didn't need to eat much at night, and having meat, vegetables, and noodles was already quite plentiful.
After the kids had eaten, they fell asleep, including An Nuo, who was probably still recovering his strength and felt drowsy. Rong Hua settled him into his bed.
