The scene opens with a stalling move by the young master, who wants to know why the girl has not eaten yet. The girl says that she has not yet eaten, and that she will eat something first. The young master tells her that it is his late-night snack, and he wants her to continue, but she refuses, saying that she would rather eat some of the food she has already prepared. She tells him that the food smells delicious, and asks him if he would like her to try some of it. He asks her if she would like to try it, and she tells him she has only eaten three of the dumplings that he has asked her to eat with him.
