It wasn't that he was reluctant to spend money, it's just that his wife and daughter had ordered all meat dishes, and having only meat dishes was too greasy.
This year, the quality and quantity of meat and vegetables were excellent. Four people indulged and had a great meal with five dishes; they all ate until they were stuffed.
Yu Cheng even ate four bowls of rice, one more than Jiang Changhai.
Su Wanyu, holding her belly contentedly, sighed, "I have no other wishes in life. To be able to eat meat like this at every meal would be enough."
Jiang Mianmian nodded in agreement; she too just wanted to be a well-fed and well-dressed "salty fish."
"Wife, let's come and eat here again tomorrow." Jiang Changhai, with a substantial amount of money in hand, spoke with confidence.
Su Wanyu nodded happily and agreed. However, when it came time to pay, seeing that a meal cost almost three dollars—which could buy several pounds of pork—she changed her mind.
