Chapter 217: Advance Planning
With a lady present, Jin Fugui and Mo Yu were on their best behavior, acting far more restrained than usual.
The dishes on the table appeared to be ordinary home-cooked meals at first glance, but a closer look revealed they were anything but simple.
Take the Braised Spirit Spring Fish Head, for example.
The surface was glazed in a thick, crimson sauce that shimmered with an oily, appetizing sheen. The reduction was so rich it clung to the chopsticks, almost forming strands as they were pulled away. Garnished with white sesame seeds and freshly chopped green onions, the dish was a visual masterpiece.
But beyond the presentation, the aroma and the density of the Qi rolling off it were staggering.
“My god… Old Jiang, is this really just ‘food’?”
“Since when does ordinary cooking have such dense Spiritual Qi?”
“This… this feels almost like the Spirit Cuisine we had at the restaurant!”
Staring at the table groaning under the weight of the feast, the group couldn’t help but exclaim in shock. Compared to their last gathering—the celebration for breaking through to Foundation Establishment—this meal was in a completely different league. The difference between the past and present was night and day.
