A waiter stood beside the counter in case customers came to buy rice noodles.
However, it was still early, and there were no guests yet.
The waiter at the counter noticed them first. He rushed up to greet them before entering the center of the crackling abacus. He found Shopkeeper Qiao and told him that they were there.
Shopkeeper Qiao was very focused when he suddenly heard that Xue Yan, Jiang Yue, and Xue Erfu had arrived. Now that he already knew that Xue Yan was His Highness the Crown Prince, he fumbled, but he still very quickly composed himself. He got everyone to continue learning to use the abacus and not stop while he busied himself.
Afraid of revealing Xue Yan's identity, he also didn't dare to kneel and give a great bow. He only hurriedly cupped his hands and bowed, lowering his voice to welcome them.
