Xiaoxiao simply gave the old man more money and also asked for the things that were used to display the candied hawthorns, which she then had the palace maid carry.

"Sister, what else would you like to eat?" the two little ones asked while licking their candied hawthorns.

They haven't forgotten their purpose today.

Xiaoxiao tilted her head, "Shall we find some more snacks?"

Kang Kang patted his chest, "Sister can eat something good, we have a lot of lucky money."

The Emperor and Empress usually give them a lot, as do the Empress Dowager.

They also give money to their two older brothers and one older sister. The two little ones are too young to manage, and someone else helps them with the money.

"Let's go eat..."

Xiaoxiao's eyes darted around, and she pointed to the noodle stall not far away, "Want a bowl of beef noodles?"

"Are the noodles here better?"

The two little ones have also eaten noodles, all made by chefs from the palace, so the taste is definitely top-notch.

The ones served outside weren't as refined, but they had a unique flavor. Especially the few slices of beef floating on top; they looked delicious, completely different from what was made in the palace. The two little ones' mouths watered just looking at them.

Seeing their pathetic state, Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh and said, "You just want to eat?"

The two little ones nodded obediently, "Sister, it looks so delicious!"

Xiaoxiao said, "It's not as good as what our family makes."

Dingding wanted to roll her eyes; Xiaoxiao was absolutely right. The imperial chefs in the palace were chosen through fierce competition; it was a job for the average person. Their skills were exceptional, one in a million. Any one of them would be highly sought after in any restaurant.

"Young masters, our noodles are really delicious. You'll see when you try them. They might not be any worse than yours."

The shopkeeper was quite nice. Before Xiaoxiao could say anything, Dingding spoke up first, "Then let's have four bowls. No chili."

They are all children; it's too spicy for them and it's bad for their health.

"But I want to eat some."

Xiaoxiao has been particularly fond of spicy food lately, no matter the time, and even seems to be unable to live without it.

"Then you have to have some?"

Although Xiaoxiao can handle spicy food quite well, her face is fine; she doesn't have any pimples or feel hot.

Kang Kang and Lele looked at Ding Ding expectantly, "We want to too..."

"No, you two are too young. Just eat something light. We'll talk about it when you're older."

The shopkeeper was almost dying of laughter. Saying that the boy was only half a child and the younger one should wait until they grew up was just inexplicably funny.

However, he still obeyed and only made one spicy dish, following the customer's wishes.

But I didn't add too much chili, because the little girl is too young and shouldn't be bothered by the spiciness.

The noodles were served quickly, and the group sat down to wait.

There were quite a few people eating noodles nearby, and none of the seven or eight tables were full, so it was clear that business was doing fairly well, but not extremely popular.

"That new noodle dish they just released recently tastes really good, but it's a bit pricey."

The people at the next table were chatting, and Xiaoxiao pricked up her ears to take a look.

You mean instant noodles, right?

Another person had obviously tried it. "Although it's a bit pricey, the taste is undeniably amazing. I've heard that many shop owners want to make instant noodles and have their staff try it, but unfortunately, they can't make it as good as they thought."

"And their ham sausage, I've never had it before, it tastes really good. I heard that Yu's Noodle Shop already has it."

"Really? How does it taste?"

"It's not as good as that instant noodles. Besides, the owner there said that the cost of the ham sausage is quite high, and the price of the noodles will have to go up as well. After we made it, we found that very few people ordered it."

The only reason people go there is because it's cheap. With the addition of ham sausage, the price is about the same as other places, so customers might as well go for the original.

"You're right, the taste over there is truly exceptional, completely different from ours. Especially the instant noodles, all crooked and twisted, I wonder how they're made?"

Xiaoxiao almost chuckled to herself. Instant noodles must be machine-made. How high would the cost be if they were made by hand?

"Not only is the food delicious there, but there are also many different flavors. Now it has developed into seven or eight flavors."

"Stop talking, or I'm going to go eat."

As the shopkeeper brought over the noodles, he couldn't help but tease the group, "Don't say that. Business at my shop isn't doing too well to begin with, and you still want to bring people over?"
