"Long time no see, Uncle, Auntie! I'm back at last!"
Ling Wei greeted the stall owners in the wet market as she dragged Tang Hao along.
"Hello, lassie! You look good in those clothes!" The middle-aged woman smiled.
"You haven't been here for a long time, lassie. I thought you've broken up with that Tang boy!" A middle-aged vegetable seller laughed.
Ling Wei blushed and stole a glance at Tang Hao. "I didn't!" She said as she shook her head.
"That's good. Right, do you want these vegetables! They're fresh and cheap!"
"Well… hmm, I can't choose! How about a catty each?" Ling Wei looked around and eventually at Tang Hao.
"A catty it is then, Uncle!" Tang Hao said.
"Alright!"
Very soon, Tang Hao and Ling Wei returned with a big bag of vegetables.
He made a pot of mixed vegetable soup with some medicinal herbs and stir-fried griffin meat.
