Was it some kind of sensor born from his desire to eat them?
"Those are tiny beans," Leander commented.
"What's this?" Cari asked.
"With these, you can make something delicious," Qiong Xing said. "Excuse me, is this all the beans you have?"
Delighted at finally finding red beans, Qiong Xing spoke to the shop clerk.
The man who had been facing away until then turned around and said, "Huh? You know what these are?"
Faced with the grumpy expression and sharp eyes of the elderly man, Cari immediately hid behind Qiong Xing.
He seemed frightened.
"They're red beans, right? If you still have more in stock, I'd like those as well."
"...…If you buy that many, do you even know how to use them?"
Apparently, red beans were not very well known around here.
This was the only shop that carried them and if people didn't know how to eat them, the only use would probably be to stuff them into pillows.
