Aqian felt betrayed by Chunliu, and even the snails she had been longing for no longer seemed appetizing to her.
She only took a few bites before setting her chopsticks down and eating no more.
Treasure Bead tried her best to persuade her, and finally managed to coax her into picking up her chopsticks again.
Zhang Xiaoying watched it all.
However, Aqian didn't let her emotions show too much and gradually returned to her usual self, laughing and chatting with everyone again.
The dinner received unanimous praise from everyone.
Especially the boiled fish, which overturned their understanding of how flavorful a dish could be, with its tangy, numbing, and spicy taste that made it incredibly moreish, even as they guzzled water, they couldn't help but reach for more fish.
"Doctor Zhang, what is this fish dish called? It's delicious!" Luo Yuanqing couldn't stop praising. "The food in Linjiang City is also quite heavily seasoned, but this is just remarkably different, isn't it?"
