She thought to herself, This slap earned me one hundred dollars, which is more cost-effective than working for a whole day!
So, she suppressed her inner excitement and replied, " Okay, let's just forget about this matter. Next time, remember not to judge a book by its cover and look down on others!" 4
The opposite party immediately nodded with respect and said, "Don’t worry, I'll remember..."
While Lady Wilson held the two hundred Oskian dollar notes and carried the four big bags into the house, the smell of food had permeated the house. 5
Jennifer and two others were the ones who had cooked.
They were cleaners at the supermarket today and since the pay was one hundred Oskian dollars per day, it would total up to three hundred and sixty Oskian dollars for three people. 5
Nowadays, with three hundred and sixty Oskian dollars, the three of them could go to a restaurant to have a normal meal.
But they carefully used three hundred and sixty Oskian dollars to cook instead, which turned out to be
a luxurious meal.
Jennifer and two others were from the village and they were simple people. After a day of hard work, all they wanted to do was eat a little more meat to reward themselves. Thus, they had gone to the wet market to buy two kilograms of pork. They also bought potatoes, beans, and vermicelli to cook a pot of stew.
Despite the cost of a pot of stew amounting to less than one hundred Oskian dollars, the portion was very sufficient. The fragrance of the pork belly could not be suppressed by the range hood.
Even more interestingly, Jennifer turned off the cooker hood when the simmering pot started to simmer.
Then, she purposely opened the kitchen door to let the fragrance spread a little further.
It was a torture for Christopher and Harold, who were living on the second floor. 1
