Chapter 109 - 25 Preparing to Entertain Guests_2
But Lin Xiaoguai didn’t mind this at all. Compared to the large, yet hormone-injected meat, pesticide-laden vegetables, and diesel-tainted fish flooding the markets in her time, she preferred this small marketplace before her eyes.
At least back then, she went through the motions of buying groceries, only to replace them with supplies from her space. Now, however, she wouldn’t waste like that anymore.
Seeing that today’s pork ribs were quite good, Lin Xiaoguai bought a section and also got two pork knuckles, planning to go home and make sweet and sour ribs, radish rib soup, and soy sauce braised pork knuckles.
At the poultry stall, she bought a freshly slaughtered chicken and duck. She intended to cook half the chicken into three cup chicken and the other half into eight treasure chicken rolls, whilst using the entire duck to make beer duck.
At the fish stall, Lin Xiaoguai picked out two of the largest carps, planning to prepare sweet and sour carp once back home.
With the meat dishes, which were the main focus, now sorted, the vegetable dishes were easy; all she needed to do was pick the freshest and most vibrant looking ones.
In the end, Lin Xiaoguai could be said to have returned with a full load. If not for Little Niangao’s pushcart with a decent-sized wicker basket at the back, she would have struggled to bring everything home.
Shen Chi had said there would be over a dozen guests, so she feared her dining table at home wouldn’t be big enough. She went to the cafeteria and borrowed two round tables and their supporting frames.
