Vi: Họ đi qua các gian hàng, Linh bắt đầu chọn lựa nguyên liệu cho món ăn truyền thống của mình.
En: As they walk through the stalls, Linh begins to select ingredients for her traditional dish.

Vi: Những trái cà chua đỏ mọng, những chiếc lá rau xanh non tươi tốt, tất cả đều được Linh chọn một cách cẩn thận.
En: The ripe red tomatoes, the fresh young green leaves, all are carefully chosen by Linh.

Vi: Tuy nhiên, có những nguyên liệu hiếm hoi mà Linh chưa tìm thấy, khiến cô hơi lo lắng.
En: However, there are rare ingredients that Linh has not found yet, making her a bit anxious.

Vi: Khi đang mải mê tìm kiếm, Toan, một người bán hàng nổi tiếng ở chợ vì sự khéo léo và vui vẻ, mời chào Linh.
En: While engrossed in her search, Toan, a well-known vendor in the market for his skillfulness and cheerfulness, invites Linh over.

Vi: "Em ơi, ghé xem nè!
En: "Hey, come take a look!

Vi: Anh có một loại nấm rừng rất đặc biệt, chỉ có mùa này mới có thôi," Toan nhiệt tình giới thiệu.
En: I have a very special kind of forest mushroom that is only available this season," Toan enthusiastically introduces.

Vi: Linh phân vân, không biết có nên chi tiền cho loại nấm này hay không.
En: Linh hesitates, unsure whether to spend money on this type of mushroom.

Vi: Nhưng Toan hứa hẹn rằng đây sẽ là điểm nhấn đặc biệt cho món ăn của cô.
En: But Toan promises that this will be a special highlight for her dish.

Vi: Bên cạnh, Mai cứ đùa nghịch, kéo Linh về nhiều phía khác nhau, khiến cô mất tập trung.
En: Beside her, Mai keeps playing around, pulling Linh in different directions, causing her to lose focus.
