Once the announcement was made, everyone dispersed.
Qi Yun stood in the yard smoking a cigarette, and after a while, Zhong Rui pulled up in a van at the door.
"Boss, I've prepared everything you asked for." Zhong Rui got out of the car, opened the back door, and inside the van were a snakeskin bag filled with fine river sand, a large ceramic jar used in rural areas for storing rice, and two plastic bags.
Qi Yun came to the car door, effortlessly lifted the heavy ceramic jar with one hand, as if it were weightless.
"Move everything to the upstairs balcony," Qi Yun instructed, carrying the ceramic jar upstairs.
The second-floor balcony was quite spacious, about seven or eight square meters, with a sunshade overhead. It usually had a set of tables and chairs, perfect for relaxing with some tea, and it was well-ventilated too.
