Tonight, the two of them decided not to eat out but to buy groceries and cook at Chi Linyue's place.
So Xu Lin drove straight to the market.
In a big city like Jiangdu, there are naturally those shiny, well-renovated markets, where the smell isn't so strong when you buy groceries.
But those who often buy groceries know it's better to go to the universally smelly markets.
The food there, at least, is fresh, whether it's vegetables or meat, even though the market does smell a bit.
For example, if you want to buy chicken, you can ask for a freshly slaughtered one.
Xu Lin asked for a castrated rooster.
This is a free-range chicken, weighing about six jin.
When Xu Lin bought it, the chicken was still in a cage. It's not easy to get authentic free-range chicken in the big city, so although this one was less than six jin, it cost over four hundred.
Xu Lin asked the vendor to help kill and clean it, as they didn't have the habit of eating chicken organs.
