Feeding dozens of people isn't just a matter of buying vegetables.
So Wu Lan instructed, "You also need meat. Tomorrow, we have to cut twenty pounds, ribs, tenderloin, pork belly, pig's trotters, anything will do, plus some chicken and duck…"
While giving the orders, she shivered with heartache. This single meal would cost quite a bit!
Especially since pork prices had increased again.
Song Tan thought for a moment, "We'll buy less meat tomorrow. I'll bring back more marinated dishes from the city, which will also save some effort."
Tomorrow we must hurry to get all the peach trees planted. We can't skimp on lunch; village folks are coming and going. It's about money on one hand, and relationships on the other.
Speaking of this, Wu Lan started to worry again.
"Maybe we should get someone else to take charge of the cooking tomorrow. I have no experience cooking for so many people at once! If it turns out bad, won't that be inviting ridicule?"
