Before he could finish, Doctor Xie waved a hand dismissively and said, "Take a seat and stop talking. We will discuss this later. For now, I just want to enjoy my meal."
Not long after they took their seats, the first dish of the banquet was served. When everyone saw a large plate of raw and cooked cold dishes, they were stunned. No one dared to move their chopsticks as they stared at the cold jellyfish salad in confusion.
While most of them had never tried jellyfish salad, Doctor Xie had tasted it before in his youth. His eyes lit up at the sight of the cold appetizer platter, and he exclaimed, "This Lu girl is truly capable! It's been years since I have seen this dish!"
He immediately reached for the jellyfish salad and took a bite. Closing his eyes in delight, he savored the fresh umami flavor. After swallowing the first bite, he eagerly began sampling the other dishes.
