Deng Tong thought himself well-traveled and culinarily experienced. Although he'd heard that the Han Family's food was good, he figured at most it would taste a bit better. But as the dishes were served, he realized most of what was on the table were things he had never tried, some he had never even seen, totally unrecognizable, and the wafting aromas made his mouth water.
"It seems I really came on the right day. Thank you, Sister-in-law, for going through the trouble to arrange such a wonderful meal; you've allowed me a most satisfying feast."
"You are too kind, Young Master Deng. I thought that since you're used to having meat and fish regularly, I'd prepare some simple dishes so you could change things up a bit. Please try them and see if they're to your liking?" Su Wenyue was confident in the meal she'd arranged, and having tasted it herself beforehand, although adhering to the virtue of modesty, she spoke thus.
