The kid in the lead nudged him, looking a little embarrassed. "They're dressed so nicely, who would eat your rubbish?"
Does it hurt your teeth?
"Oh, what are you asking! Have a piece!"
The child holding the steamed bun broke off a corner and handed it to Huo Xiaolong. The little dumpling took it and stuffed it directly into his mouth.
It tastes awful, it's tough, and I can't even swallow it.
"Hey!" Hou Xiangxiang tried to stop her, but it was too late.
The coarse grain steamed bun swished in Huo Xiaolong's mouth, and for some reason, her eyes reddened.

"I only have banknotes left, and the merchant can't make change."
The eagle placed the five taels of silver, which it hadn't even warmed yet, into his daughter's hand.
