Upon hearing that they had a guest, Su Xiaowan immediately replied, "If someone is coming over today, we might not have enough food. I need to quickly cook two more dishes, it will be ready soon."
She immediately went to the kitchen, soaked a small handful of black fungus in water, sliced the cabbage, and kept them ready for use.
She cut up some onions, cracked three eggs, and planned to serve the braised pork soon, to make scrambled eggs with onions and stir-fried black fungus and cabbage later.
She peeled and julienne the potatoes for later, aiming to prepare a cold dish. Four dishes should be enough, even though the braised pork with potatoes was a bit extra, the other dishes weren't that much but it should be enough to eat. Years of established eating habits meant that any excess was considered shameful, and besides, it's unhealthy to overeat dinner.
