She picked up a piece and put it in her mouth; the pastry was sweet but not cloying, fragrant and delicious.
The little girl generously shared with those in the carriage: "Ah Tao, Ming Yan, Xiao Chen, you can try it too. I had Ah Tao buy two portions."
Ah Tao and Ming Yan both declined.

The two, upon hearing this, felt somewhat relieved and shared a piece of Furong Cake.
