due to the noice in the market,I was not comfortable at all,so I went to my meat vendor,she always bring fresh meat,so I headed over to her stand,to purchase some liver and intestines,she gave me very fresh and clean meat I paid for it, kept it in my bag and headed to the next place.

I hate staying in the market,so I headed to where I will purchase my egusi (melon) seed,after buying she used her local hand machine to grind the melon seed, I think this is really stressful for her, but she delivered, there I bought some other stuff I needed to cook my soup,then I headed home.
