Manbao had only eaten two dumplings when Qiuyue came looking for her, so she pushed her bowl forward and shared two more with each of her brothers before picking up her bowl and following Qiuyue into the restaurant.
Qiuyue: ...
However, she did not stop her and led Manbao into the restaurant.
The waiter started to intervene but was immediately slapped on the head by the manager, who whispered scoldingly, "Are you blind? Didn't you see that's the maid of the County Magistrate's daughter?"
Thus, the two of them watched as Manbao, dressed in simple cloth, carried a bowl as big as her own face up to the second floor.
Manbao enthusiastically invited Fu Wenyun to share the dumplings with her, saying, "They're really tasty. Once I find out how they're made, I'll have my sister-in-law make them for me every day."
Fu Wenyun curiously glanced at the dumplings in the bowl, thinking they looked quite similar to those made in her own kitchen, and picked up a pair of chopsticks to eat one.
