Several more customers arrived and everyone was busy. Bai Ruozhu was making pancakes, Bai Zehao was hawking and serving soup, Lin Ping'er was washing dishes, and Bai Yihong was carrying a wooden bucket to fetch water from a nearby well.
After setting up the stall, Bai Zepei went to Mr. Xie's residence.
However, Bai Ruozhu didn't forget the tofu seller next door who constantly gazed at her pot of soup. She filled a bowl of soup and had her mother deliver it.
Fusa thanked them profusely as she and Laifu took turns sipping the soup. Their faces showed that they wanted more, but they were too shy to ask Bai Ruozhu for more.
The first man to arrive had finished one pancake but drained all his soup. He appeared unsatisfied and asked Bai Ruozhu, "Miss, if I buy one pancake it comes with a bowl of soup. So if I buy two pancakes, would that come with two bowls of soup?"
