They originally wanted to go for lamb skewers, but it was too late, so they casually picked a beef noodle shop, planning to have lamb skewers later that evening.
They ordered two bowls of noodles.
Huai Xu's beef noodles cost eight yuan per bowl. Zhou Li had Jiangshui noodles for only six yuan. His bowl was quite small and purely vegetarian, with a refreshing and slightly sour taste. It was very appetite-stimulating and would certainly be fantastic to eat in the summer.
The lamb skewers were two yuan each, sold in sets of ten, and they ordered twenty skewers.
Marinated eggs were only one yuan each—incredibly cheap. The cheapest Zhou Li had eaten were in Yi Province with Caiyun, costing one yuan and fifty cents; generally, they cost two yuan each. So Huai Xu, figuring that anyone who passed up such a bargain was a fool, directly ordered ten eggs.
