It was exactly mealtime, and several people were coming in to eat. Mr. Li, glancing at the menu hanging by the window, smiled and said to Li Xianglu, "Girl, what would you like to eat? Today is a good day; let's treat ourselves."
Li Xianglu also glanced at the menu, which featured wontons with an option between large and small bowls. A large bowl required three food tickets, filled with pure meat and green onions.
Thus, she smiled and suggested, "Grandpa, how about we have some wontons? They are soupy and hot."
Instantly, Mr. Li agreed with a clap of his hands, then sat there and handed the money and food tickets to Li Xianglu for her to make the purchase.
Li Xianglu curiously examined the food tickets, noticing that these looked different from the ones she had seen before—they had a more exquisite pattern and felt thicker.
