Lumma had bought the oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar. And she was about to go to the fresh food section to have a look when she noticed that Adam who was behind her didn’t buy anything. She said, “Mr. Hills, is there anything you want to buy?”
In order to have more private conversations with Lumma, Adarn didn’t care about anything. He said, “I don’t have anything in particular to buy. The main thing is that I want to study what to buy with you. If I go shopping with my Darling in the future, she can worry less about me. Can you tell me how to use the ingredients you bought?”
“Of course.” Lumma was very happy to help Mr. Hills pursue Mrs. Hills. Lumma said, “Mr. Hills, let’s go to the fresh produce section to buy lean meat and some ingredients for making dumplings.”
“Okay.” Adam pushed the shopping cart and followed Lumma.
Lumma came to the fresh food area, chose a piece of lean meat that looked good, and gave it to the staff to weigh. Then she said to Adam at the same time, “Mr. Hills, buy this lean meat and chop it up. Then it’s dumpling stuffing after adding some ginger, onion, and garlic.”
Adam praised her and said, “You can even do this, you’re really amazing!”
Lumma smiled and said, “Mr. Hills, if someone like me who is from an ordinary family doesn’t know these things, how can we live? Not everyone is like you that are born to be taken care of by someone.”
Adam said, “It may not be a good thing to be taken care of after birth.”
Lumma could understand that people from all walks of life had their respective worries. Some people worried about three meals a day, and some people worried about buying a house and a car. And people like Adam were worried about how to make more money.
The staff put the price tag on it and handed the meat to Lumma. When Lumma saw the price, she was almost shocked, and she said, “Are you sure the price is for lean pork? Is it possible that you made a mistake?”
This piece of lean pork weighed 3.3 kilos, and the price was 166 euros. It was about 240 dollars in total, and the price per kilo was about 48 dollars, which was ridiculously expensive.
Even if Lumma didn’t have to pay for it herself, she still felt distressed.
