Clear-broth winter melon and mutton soup, cold-dressed pig ears, cold-dressed fiddlehead ferns, cold-dressed bitter melon, stir-fried cabbage with wood ear mushrooms, Three Treasures of the Earth, jellied pork skin, and wide mung bean noodles…
Good heavens.
A full spread for clearing "internal heat."
So very Xu Changqing!
"Where's my meat?"
"Here, the meat's coming." A glint of amusement flashed in Xu Changqing's eyes as she ladled the soup. She deliberately added an extra piece of mutton to his bowl before handing it over. "Here you go."
"You're so wicked."
"Giving up on your liver, are we?" Xu Changqing grabbed a large steamed bun and handed it to him. "It's not that I'm being stingy, but eating too much meat isn't good for your health."
"And this is good for me?"
"It's better than nothing. Just be patient. I'll look for a few more medicinal recipes that are good for you later. I don't think the old ones were very reliable."
