Ah Jing said you like pork belly and ribs, so I specially saved thirty or forty pounds of pork belly, ribs, and spare ribs. When I cook them, I'll send a few pounds back to your parents as well.
That makes sense when you think about it. For most families, it's already quite generous to buy 20 or 30 catties of meat for a banquet, let alone the fact that they not only have meat, but also chicken and fish.

“I thought that sending him some homemade cured meat from the countryside, dried mushrooms picked from the mountains, chestnuts and other mountain products would be more likely to attract gossip and make it easier for him to carry out his work.”
