Ning Xiaoxian returned to the inn where she was staying; it was already dark.
When Jin Manyi came to visit, she was just drinking the red dates, dark sugar, and ginger tea that the inn provided to every guest.
"Miss Jin, a rare guest indeed." She sipped the sweet tea slowly, unsurprised that Jin Manyi found where she was staying. The red dates, dark sugar, and ginger tea wasn't anything precious, but the bowl in her hand was made with aged ginger, intentionally brewed thick, sweet to taste, with a pleasant spice that warmed her from the inside. Even if her hands and feet were chilly before, after drinking it, she felt warmth spreading from her mouth and nose throughout her body, soon making her break out in a mild sweat. This tea naturally had a warming effect, especially beneficial to women and those with stomach coldness. For taste's sake, the cook even added an egg to the tea, making it somewhat similar to the sweet teas she had in Huaxia.
