Xie Zhinuan invited several people to dinner.
They ate in the outdoor shed, relishing Aunt Chen's cooking so much they nearly swallowed their tongues.
Delicious, truly delicious.
They could never cook like this in their entire lives.
After the meal, Xie Zhinuan did not invite them to stay, and after thinking it over, having sat in a mule cart all day, they decided to find a place to rest and headed to the town.
Luckily, it was not yet dark, and the town had an inn. Business was not very good, and it was rare to have several people arrive at once, each wanting their own room and also baths.
The innkeeper immediately greeted them with enthusiasm.
Xie Zhinuan sat in the courtyard enjoying the cool breeze, humming a tune, foreseeing how she could "make a fortune every day".
