While the steam's still rising, nobody gets any older.

Someone dropped this on the market floor thirty years back. Until the owner comes looking for it, I can't even die.

The Fortune-Teller's GranddaughterGrandma, that's... not just a trinket, is it?
The Rice Cake Shop GrannyAsk your own grandmother about things like that.
The Night-Shift ClerkA regular customer seemed to freeze up looking at that photo, but didn't say a word.
The Rice Cake Shop GrannyThat one's never been much of a talker.

Steamed two batches of mugwort rice cake. One batch is going where I won't take payment.

The Young Man Next DoorMe?
The Rice Cake Shop GrannyNo.
The Young Man Next DoorOh, okay.
The Real Estate AgentMa'am, that contract went through fine. Surely I could get a batch of rice cake too...
The Rice Cake Shop GrannyYou pay full price for both batches.

Left elsewhere

Rice isn't cooked with hands, it's cooked with heart. Bowl order doesn't matter one bit.

If there's extra, bring it over. I'll eat it for you.

Then make red bean porridge too and bring that over.

You only ever talk this much when it's about that house.

The rice cake shop started with me. Before that, there was something else.

Just buy your rice cake.

Bring a few over once they ripen. You've probably forgotten how to string dried persimmons again anyway.

What are you going to do with all that rice cake? Don't freeze it and forget about it again.
