Xiang Yun and Juhua were fascinated by the peculiar decor in the room. They looked up at the chandelier on the ceiling one moment, and at the fireplace with its dancing flames the next, resembling two curious children.
When the dishes were served, they instinctively returned to the table. Both of them were seasoned food enthusiasts, and nothing could distract them when there was good food around.
Cai Wei had specially prepared many distinctive snacks, among which their favorites were the seven-star fish balls, bamboo skewer meat, and fried aubergine boxes. The ingredients for the seven-star fish balls were relatively simple, made from genuine phoenix golden-scaled fish meat, which were far more delicious than the modern ones filled with flour that are usually put in hotpot. The bamboo skewer meat was made from pork loin, marinated with special seasonings, then fried and sprinkled with cumin. For those who like it spicy, you could also add some chili powder.
