"I suddenly don't want to eat hairy crab noodles anymore," Li Lechen said casually.
"Hey! I'm treating, don't push your luck!" Zhou Mi couldn't help but warn.
"There's a ramen shop across the street, and they don't charge extra for adding cilantro."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Mi realized that she had misunderstood Li Lechen, but out of consideration for her pride, she continued coldly, "I don't eat cilantro."

Luckily, Ah Cai has the appearance of a kind, gentle older woman, which makes the children less wary; otherwise, she might not have been able to open a shop for six months.
Just then, Ah Cai suddenly remembered something and quickly pulled out a handful of money from her pocket, boasting, "I just swindled some money from a student, maybe a hundred or so."
The man scoffed, letting Ah Cai unfold the banknotes and count them one by one.
