The first thing that caught my eye was the bubbling crucian carp soup in the black clay pot.
Ever since giving birth to the Fifth Prince, Ye Zao had been drinking it frequently, despite not breastfeeding, as it also did wonders for her complexion.
The Fourth Master never told her to abstain from meat, for fear that she wouldn't be well-nourished, so naturally, he wanted her to drink some soup.
The Fourth Master didn't like that, so he had the pork rib and kelp soup instead.
There were also the spicy and sour woodear mushrooms, hand-torn cabbage. Mapo tofu, red braised beef meatballs. Cold beef slices, cold glass noodles.
The staple was longan meat buns. There were two fillings, one was beef filling which the Fourth Master loved.
The other was the shrimp and three delicacies filling that Ye Zao enjoyed.
There was also a millet cake, the freshly steamed millet cake was a golden-yellow, and the aroma of rice was enticing.
