320: Chapter 320: The Furious Guh Family and Qin Family (2) 320: Chapter 320: The Furious Guh Family and Qin Family (2) “Miss An, long ti no see,” the manager approached with polite yet unobsequious respect.
“Long ti no see,” An Yiqing rembered this tactful manager and was very friendly towards him.
The manager was a bit surprised and flattered, and his fondness for An Yiqing “whooshed” upwards.
He respectfully extended his hand and led An Yiqing and the others forward.
“Miss An, this is the seat you reserved earlier.” The manager led them to the private room and personally poured them cups of warm water.
“Please feel free to order.
Soone will bring so premium Longjing tea shortly, so please wait a mont.
I’ll take my leave now.”
Following the manager’s departure, An Yiqing and the two elders used the ordering system to select so dishes.
It wasn’t long before an elegantly dressed server ca in with a set of exquisite tea ware.
“My dear, I’ve always heard of Penglai Residence but never had the chance to co.
I’m fortunate to be here thanks to you,” Elder Duan remarked, taking a sip of the Longjing tea and sighing with appreciation.
“Elder Duan, how can you say such a thing?
If you visit Xuandu City again, this junior will definitely bring you to Penglai Residence.
Actually, if I hadn’t been worried that it would be too abrupt to invite you two on our first eting, I have another place in mind, a small eatery where the food is simply delicious.” An Yiqing thought back to the al Gu Yelin had taken her to at Chef Zhang’s small eatery and suddenly missed it.
Upon hearing this, Duan Jingning’s and Ma Tianci’s eyes lit up.
These two old friends loved jade and had a passion for good food, which had kept their friendship strong for decades.
“There are places like that in Xuandu City?
My dear girl, you must take there next ti!” Duan Jingning instructed eagerly.
“It’s a deal,” An Yiqing said with a smile and a nod.
While they were talking, the server ca in and arranged the various dishes neatly on the table, then quietly left.
“Elders, please help yourselves,” An Yiqing said with a smile, scooping so Chinese yam soup into bowls for Duan Jingning and Ma Tianci with a brand-new spoon.
“This Chinese yam soup is refreshing and clearing heat, and it contains more than twenty kinds of dicinal herbs, which are very beneficial to the body.
You should eat more of it.”
Both Duan Jingning and Ma Tianci lifted their little bowls with a smile and took a light taste, their eyes sparkling with delight.
“Excellent!
Excellent!
Although it’s a dicinal dish, it’s not at all bitter, and the flavor of the Chinese yam is slightly more pronounced than that of the herbs.
It’s really good!” Ma Tianci kept nodding and praise flowed continuously, “I’ve been to Penglai Residence a couple of tis before, but I’ve never had this Chinese yam soup.
Xiao Qing, you’re so considerate!”
Duan Jingning also nodded repeatedly in agreent, sharing Ma Tianci’s sentints.
“Grandpa Ma, you flatter .
I’m a physician, and I just have so research on dicinal cuisine,” An Yiqing said with a modest smile, neither arrogant nor impetuous.
Only then did Ma Tianci and Duan Jingning rember the rumors about Xuandu City, that this young lady was not only a businesswoman and a daughter of a wealthy family but also a disciple of the Master of the dicine Sect, a renowned Divine Doctor.
At this thought, Duan Jingning sighed sentintally, “Back in the day, under Mr.
Ye’s leadership, the dicine Sect was so glorious.
I had the fortune to et him once, but due to so mischance, I never got the chance to greet him properly.
Alas!
Who knows why Mr.
Ye disappeared along with the dicine Sect, becoming silent and invisible.” Duan Jingning seed to be reminded of sothing and suddenly looked up at An Yiqing with hopeful eyes.
“Miss, since you are Mr.
Ye’s disciple and a famous Little God Doctor, I wonder if you might…” At the end, Duan Jingning found it difficult to continue.
“Elder Duan, are you asking if I can cure your thirst disease?” An Yiqing voiced Duan Jingning’s unspoken difficulty.
She had noticed sothing unusual about Duan Jingning after entering the private room.
Judging from his physical reactions, Duan Jingning was in a state of extre thirst, evident from his cracked lips and pale corners of the mouth.
The manager had poured them a cup of warm water, and normally, Duan Jingning should have drunk it all in one go.
But he didn’t even touch it and even pushed the blanket far away.
Furthermore, after the Longjing tea was served, Duan Jingning rely lifted the cup and gently sipped.
An Yiqing noticed that he held the tea in his mouth for half a second before slowly swallowing.
Such an action is only seen in those who are severely dehydrated yet extrely thirsty.
