"There's only one skewer left, I'll give it to the lady." The vendor is quite shrewd in business.
Life is not easy, and Shen Jiao didn't want to take advantage of anyone, so she gave him an extra string of coins.
"Young lady," the vendor said nervously, rubbing his hands together, "this is my first time making candied hawthorns. May I try a bite and give you some feedback?"
Shen Jiao glanced at the vendor's hands.
The skin was rough and had many large and small scratches. I don't know what kind of work she used to do, but she certainly didn't seem like someone who had always made candied hawthorns.

Does this sound like it's specifically targeting her?
Who's so bored!
