Before moving the chopsticks, the mother-in-law found that there was something on the noodles. Many black spots, she asked with presbyopia: "Why are there so many ants on this?" When she knew the whole story and took a bite with her chopsticks, she couldn't help but praised again and again. She also said that this dish is simply called "Ant on the Ants". Tree "Let's!"
