Bai Xiao looked at the Wu Zi sea cucumber before her, a delicacy offered at the Xingde Restaurant, which boasted a history of 138 years and the craftsmanship passed down through five generations of masters and apprentices. Just by glancing at the color and luster of the dish, one could tell that it was of the finest quality.
"Come on, everyone, dig in," Bai Xiao said.
The four of them reached for the dish with their chopsticks. Ma Yao stuffed her mouth full in one go, and her eyes widened instantly as the food touched her palate.
"My goodness, no wonder the dishes here are so expensive, the taste is really good."
The group was extremely pleased, and it was not a wasted effort to dine here despite the twists and turns they had experienced.
Indeed, the century-old establishment had a remarkable difference.
