The Su residence, a two-courtyard complex, was teeming with tables brimming with food in the front courtyard's living room, ready to receive the government officers who came to bring the good news.
It wasn't an easy task for the Magistrate of Xuzhou and the Mingshui County Magistrate, who had endured a tedious journey to get here, and it certainly wasn't right to dismiss them so casually.
The Village Chief's two daughters-in-law, along with Li Xiu'e and Grandma Wang, busily prepared a feast to treat the two local officers.
The delicious cuisine of the Su Clan was as good as the restaurants in Xuzhou City.
Chicken stew with sealwort, braised eel, soy-fried ribs, braised pork trotters.
Dishes of exquisite home-cooked meals began to fill the table, and the officers relished in the delicacy, exclaiming their satisfaction.
The homemade wine made by Su Qingluo was so intoxicatingly aromatic that it kindled one's appetite.
