Lunch today was the taro and pork dumplings we made last night.

A smile touched Renee's lips as she picked up a dumpling and dipped it in vinegar. "Mom, you should start thinking about what kind of housekeeper to hire."
After she finished her dumpling, she continued, "Or better yet, let's hire two. One to cook and one to do chores. Or we could have them take turns, each working for a week."
Rhea was surprised. "Two? Isn't that a bit extravagant?"
"Not at all." Renee took a napkin and wiped her mouth. "Mom, for a place like Eastgate Villa, two housekeepers is on the low end. Most families here have five, minimum."
Her eyes wide, Rhea held up five fingers. "Five? How much must that cost!"
Renee smiled. "Money is no object for the people who live here."
