all this temptation

 

Chinese supermarket in London

I was quite fascinated to walk into a Chinese supermarket in Alperton even though it was just a cheap place for traders and restaurant owners who buy large quantities. I had my native (from Hong Kong) boyfriend with me who pointed out when it was just cheap stuff. I could not distinguish between good or bad quality....on top of things, preparations for Chinese New Year were ongoing.

Nicest way to ask for support.....

"My amiable neighbour, young man!
I have lerned your kindness towards me, that you have paid my rent six month ago. I bless you, young man. My eldest daughter will tell you that we have been without a morsel of bread for two days, four pesrons, and my spouse is sick. If I am not desseived by my thoughts, I think I may hope that your generous heart will soften at this exposure and that the desire will subjugate you of being propitious to me by deigning to lavish upon me some light gift.
I am with the distinguished consideration which is due to the benefactors of humanity, JONDRETTE.
P.S. My daughter will await your orders, dear Monsieur Marius.
