Zhang Erniu, carrying a steaming teapot, hurried out with a beaming face, bowing and nodding, "Fang, please have a seat. Will it be the usual three dishes today?"
Fang Ke swaggered after him to the second floor, "Is the lamb offal fresh today?"
Zhang Erniu: "Fresh, all delivered this morning along with the lamb. I counted the days and knew you'd definitely come today, so I had the kitchen reserve it especially for you!"
"You lad, you have a way with words, I enjoy hearing them."
Fang Ke laughed and casually tossed him a few copper coins, "A reward for you!"
Zhang Erniu, catching the copper coins in a flurry, immediately smiled even more enthusiastically, raising his voice melodically, "Thank you for the tip, Fang!"
Under Zhang Erniu's guidance, Fang Ke, carrying the hem of his fur coat, leisurely ascended to the second floor.
