Da Ya frowned and said, "This is what our girl said. No matter who it is, they have to pay!" With that, Da Ya ignored her mother, pulled her hand back, walked behind the counter, and gave Hu Mingmei the sign with the table number on it.
Hu Mingmei found an empty table, settled the old woman in, and then went to get her breakfast. The old woman didn't see Bai Nuo until after she finished eating, but she didn't dare to ask.
"I'm exhausted!" Bai Nuo and Hu Mingmei had lunch together after noon when the number of customers had decreased significantly.
"It's much more tiring than running my own cloth shop!" Jiang San Niang also complained. After running the cloth shop for so many years, this was the first time she had ever complained of being tired.

Bai Nuo invited Zhang Wu to sit down, while having the food they had eaten cleared from the table and tea served again. He also had Zhang Wu's golden pig taken away. Everything was quick and orderly, and soon the group was seated again and drinking tea.
Bai Nuo smiled and said, "Young Master Zhang, you've honored me with your presence. What would you like to eat today?"
Zhang Wu smiled and said, "I heard that Duobao Pavilion has hired a chef who only makes ten dishes a day. I wonder if we'll be able to eat there today?"
