Knife-Sliced Noodles

As soon as Zhou Lan lit the fire and took out the vegetables, she realized that all the food Jiang Chuan had exchanged at the Zhang family's place had been used to make vegetable buns. Now, they didn't have any flour left for the main dish.

Thinking that the landlady was straightforward, Zhou Lan decided to borrow some flour from her.

The landlady followed Zhou Lan into the kitchen and promptly scooped out two bowls of flour, asking, "Is this enough for your family?"

"It's enough!" Zhou Lan quickly replied.

These two bowls of flour weighed over a pound; even if they added another person, it would be sufficient. Smiling, Zhou Lan holding the basin asked, "Do you want food tickets or money?"

"Just eat it. Every family faces difficulties when they're out," the landlady said.

She mentally compared the value of this flour to the delicious fish they had given her earlier, realizing the flour paled in comparison.
