Chapter 260: The Woman
Chen Qing simply tidied up and came to the dining hall exclusive to his small courtyard.
Four dishes and one soup were already arranged on the table, steaming hot with enticing aromas.
A plate of braised pork knuckle, a bowl of steamed jade carp, a dish of stir-fried emerald sprouts, a serving of cold crystal lotus root, and in the center, a crock of mountain ginseng old chicken soup simmered to a milky white richness. The soup surface was dotted with a few bright red goji berries, making one's appetite stir.
Chen Qing sat at the table, glanced at Qingdai standing to the side, and casually asked, "Have you all eaten? If not, why don't you join me?"
Hearing this, Qingdai's face showed a faint smile, "Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother. We've already eaten. Please enjoy your meal, Senior Brother."
Chen Qing nodded and didn't stand on ceremony further, picking up a piece of pork knuckle and putting it in his mouth.
The pork knuckle was stewed extremely tender and flavorful, melting in his mouth.
He nodded with satisfaction, praising, "Excellent craftsmanship, the heat control is just right."
Qingdai covered her mouth and laughed lightly, her gaze glancing toward another woman beside her, "Senior Brother is too kind. Today's meal was mainly prepared by Zisu. She has the best culinary skills among us."
