Zhou Biyao's resolute manner in getting onto the kang bed increased Nanny Liu's fondness for her and warmed her speech, "Indeed, the quarters here are cramped, so I ask for Second Miss Zhou's forgiveness for our inadequate hospitality. Second Miss Zhou can have some tea and snacks; the tea and snacks in this household are quite passable. Especially the snacks—they are not available on the street, and even the small food stores are only just planning to stock them, but currently, they do not have any."
Zhou Biyao immediately became interested, leaned forward slightly, eyed the several plates of snacks, and eager to try, she said, "Did Sister make these herself? Nanny Liu, tell me, which ones are the tastiest?"
Nanny Liu smiled and replied, "These were made under the Young Lady's guidance. As for the flavors, each is unique and has its own taste, so Second Miss can try a bit of each."
