Lin Xiaoyue only stopped after she had filled eight barrels of lime water.
She estimated the amount of lime water in each bucket, which was just enough to make a big pot of cold cakes.
A pot was four buckets' worth of cold cakes. It was more efficient this way.
After adding the lime water, Lin Xiaoyue looked at the empty water tank and thought that when Li Xiao came back later, he would have to fetch water again.
After mixing the lime water, Lin Xiaoyue rested for a while and waited for the lime water to settle down.
After about ten minutes, Lin Xiaoyue sent the lime water to the shed.
Next, she poured the lime water onto a cloth and filtered it.
As there were not enough buckets, she had to wash them before filling them again.
The lime and impurities that had settled at the bottom of the empty buckets were washed away, and then they would be filled with filtered lime water.
