Ni Yang blanched a handful of noodles in fish soup and served them into ten cups, sprinkled them with cilantro, chopped green onion, and minced garlic, before pouring the final touch of soup over them. Thus, ten petite servings of Sour Fish Noodle Soup were completed.
Though small, the servings had a full spectrum of colors, scents, and flavors.
Ni Yang held a tray with ten servings of noodles, and started soliciting passersby loudly, "Come, come, step right up, free noodles for tasting, it's all free!"
Upon hearing the word 'free', a middle-aged woman immediately paused and asked, "Are you really giving these away for free?"
