The Possibility of Reciprocity

Pliny received many gifts from Li Feng yesterday, in honour of Christmas.

1) A violet and navy track suit. The top is short-sleeved with 4 tartan-patterned diamond shapes across the front. Each diamond is crossed with gold embroidery. There are 3 gold roses in between the 4 diamonds. Under the diamonds are the words Fiscsos Ladies Sportswear also in gold. The pants are ankle freezers. In this track suit, Pliny looks like a golfer.

2) A packet of Green Tea biscuits.

3) Two Japanese teabags, 2 Irish teabags, 2 Aik Cheong Malaysian Coffee Mixture bags, and a small container of mystery Chinese tea with no English writing.

4) A jar of gherkins with one gherkin missing, eaten by Li Feng, who didn't like it.

5) A foil-wrapped roll of sugarless Christmas pudding.

6) A plastic container of dried oregano from Li Feng's Italian neighbour's garden.

7) Some freshly made XO Sauce, in a honey jar.

Pliny likes Li Feng's presents, and is wondering how she can possibly reciprocate, next week.
