Tang Yan's craftsmanship was impressive. The pastries were not only exquisitely shaped but also delicious.
The date paste and yam cakes, walnut shortbread, lychee crisps, and milk-nut soft tarts were so well-made their flavors could rival those from the chefs at the Daytime Food Shop.
Zhong Yi sampled a few of the pastries and drank half a cup of tea. It was bitter on the first sip, but a sweet aftertaste followed immediately.
He looked at Fu Hongning and Tang Yan, who were still thanking him profusely, and said,
"There's no need to be so courteous."
"If it weren't for me, Vice President Fu's two Guardian Beasts wouldn't have been injured."
"Also, Vice President Fu, I won't be taking those Exotic Beasts you prepared for me."
"These Exotic Beasts can produce resources steadily. It's better for the Zhenchong Commerce Association to keep and raise them."
Zhong Yi could tell that the Insect-type Mutant Beasts Fu Hongning had shown him were all meticulously selected.
