It seems she just used a similar method yesterday?
"Auntie, your pancakes taste pretty good."
The pancake-selling auntie chuckled, "Complimenting me won't get you a free meal!"
Lin Xiang: "...Do I look like someone who'd eat for free?"
"Who was it just now that, seeing me just finish making pancakes, directly asked for one?"
"But I didn't say I wouldn't pay!"
"I don't want money for the pancakes; you'll cook me a bowl of spicy noodles later." The aunt calculated with her fingers, "This porridge is five cents a bowl, my pancake is also five cents each, your spicy noodles are ten cents a bowl with a bowl of porridge thrown in, which is equivalent to the spicy noodles costing five cents, I don't want the porridge, just the noodles, so it evens out with the pancakes."
Lin Xiang: "That's not exactly how you calculate it. Fine, I'll cook a bowl for you right now."
