What are these people up to? You decide the best thing to do is to investigate the stand. The person at the counter seems to be a cook. You want to see what they're selling so you ask the man at the stand.
You ask the him what's for sale, to which they smile.
"Oh, no need for money. Since you're new, let me bring you the chef's special," they man chirps cheerily.
Quickly, the man steps behind the purple curtain. You hear some sizziling and the clanging of pots and pans from behind the curtain. Not long later, he emerges again. In the chef's hands is moderately sized thin metal bowl. He sets it on the counter in front of you, and waits there smiling. The soup smells amazing.
