After leaving Carpenter Uncle's place, the two of them headed to the nearby farmers' market and bought several pounds of glass noodles and a few sheets of tofu skin, which all required tickets. When they got back, they stewed the beef bones that Xue Jianian had left behind.
They stewed them from a little past eleven until past one o'clock, and they didn't start cooking the glass noodles and tofu skin until Xue Jianian returned.
"Why are you back so late? Did you see Uncle Cheung?"
"I did. It was quite a coincidence, the work he's doing lately is right near his place, and his family took me there. Later, I took Uncle Cheung to check out the store. He said he could arrange for someone to come over this afternoon to work on the plumbing and electricity. But I have to buy the materials beforehand."
Luo Xinyue said, "I'll go with you to buy the materials this afternoon."
