Qiao Mai left him ten sets of deluxe noodles, leaving Shopkeeper Tong in bewilderment. Coincidentally, someone overheard their conversation as they exited the private room and immediately took an interest.
Their curiosity got the better of them. "Shopkeeper, are the noodles she just mentioned really that delicious?"
Shopkeeper Tong curled his lips. "I find them tasty, but they are rather expensive. I wouldn't recommend you try them."
"It's just five taels of silver for a bowl. I'd like to give it a try. Remember to make it just the way she instructed."
This took Shopkeeper Tong by surprise as he realized someone was genuinely interested in this expensive meal.
"Are you sure you want to try it?"
"Quickly prepare it. Let me see what makes these five-tael noodles so delicious."
