Chapter 44: Pointy-mouthed and sunken-cheeked
"Miss, can I try before buying?"
In the crowd, someone drawn by the tantalizing aroma swallowed and couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, you can try for free." Xuexue handed a river snail to the person who had asked, allowing him to take one.
"Miss."
Just then, suddenly, a sheepish voice called out from behind. Xuexue turned her head and was a bit surprised, "Huh! Master, haven't you left yet?"
It was the old Master who had quarreled with Xuexue earlier.
"Hehe..." The old Master laughed somewhat awkwardly, "I was wondering if I could buy a portion of the river snails?"
The old Master thought about the river snails readily found in the creeks back in the countryside. Since the girl cooked them so deliciously, he was thinking of buying a portion to study and see if he could figure out how to make them himself.
"Of course, two wen of money for a portion." Business was coming her way, and Xuexue was overjoyed, smiling broadly as she spoke.
