Just looking at that setup was enough to tell he was some wealthy and powerful figure. He walked up slowly, not bothering with small talk before picking up a basket of Ewan and Asher Ryder's smoked snails: "This is the first time I have seen someone put in the effort to clean snails and arrange them in woven baskets like this. These ones are quite large, too."
The smoked snails were all meticulously selected by Ewan, each one plump and meaty. Furthermore, this batch was contained in beautifully woven baskets made of finely split bamboo. The man was not the first to ask about this, so Ewan habitually answered the man just as Ewan had answered other customers.
