The owner of Taoyuan cooked a meal specially for them and chose red sweet potato starch, which was popular at the time, as the main ingredient.

It means that the friendship between these three people is as long as these vermicelli, and a kind of spicy small pepper, Laotan sauerkraut, brown sugar and yellow lotus are added in it.
