"Miss, Brother Wu has delivered the Immortal Brew to the man from the Xie family's table!"
Xiao Chun entered the back kitchen and said excitedly in a hushed voice.
Ming Lingyi was preparing a new order of the roasted, crispy-skinned pork belly. The dish was selling so well that she could barely keep up.
Hearing Xiao Chun's words, Ming Lingyi took a moment to turn her head. "Have the students from the Imperial College been dismissed yet?"
"They have, they have. I checked the time; they should be arriving at our restaurant any minute now."
Ming Lingyi nodded, her hands moving even faster. 'The show is about to begin.'
Li Yan came to Ming's Restaurant that afternoon as well. She was hosting a poetry competition; how could he possibly miss it?
What Li Yan hadn't expected was that even after bolting from the Imperial College and having Cheng Yi rush him to the restaurant on horseback, he would be blocked from even reaching the entrance by a crowd of onlookers.
