Once all the dishes were served, Gu Chengyu glanced at each one. The dishes at Qunying Building were considered quite complete in color, aroma, and taste. There were more stews, with only a braised lion's head as a braised dish. Gu Chengyu thought to himself that compared to the cuisine at his own restaurant, it was far inferior. His restaurant's menu included steamed, boiled, fried, deep-fried, braised, and stewed dishes, all of which were comprehensive.
He picked up a piece to taste; the flavor was acceptable! However, the fish soup was quite fishy, so after one bite, Gu Chengyu did not try it again. After sampling the flavors, Gu Chengyu was reassured; there was still quite a gap compared to his restaurant's dishes, not to mention even less impressive than what Nanny Li made at home.
