Gan Sui the Sous Chef
She turned up pregnant and homeless when her
incompatible granny cow kicked her out (note: incompatible
with gan cao). At first she ended up on the streets, but once she
decided to pick herself up out of the gutter
and stop using expensive illegal nose
spray, she became a fabulous sous-chef. When granny cow saw Gan Sui's
daughter the following summer she had eyes
tired from crying.
