The lunch consisted of six dishes and a soup: winter bamboo shoots with magnolia petals, Longjing shrimp, osmanthus sugar lotus root, assorted vegetarian dish, lotus leaf sticky rice chicken, squirrel fish, and a tea tree mushroom old duck soup. There were two main courses: a green rice that Susu wanted, and a basket of crystal shrimp dumplings.
Fen Dai's mother's culinary skills were indeed remarkable. As a kitchen maid coming from a wealthy family, she excelled at dishes from various major cuisines, and considerable effort was put into the soup. In her past life, Susu had no money, and a box of instant noodles could last her a month. In this life, she had endured hunger and eaten stale Mantou, so even after leaving the mansion, she wouldn't compromise on food quality. Having such a companion was truly a blessing.
