The food looked enticing, and the flavors were definitely excellent!
The fragrance from the rice, the mellow smell of the lotus seeds, the sweetness of the dates, and all the other ingredients, eighteen in total, effused an aroma so amazing that Fangzheng could discern each and every one of them! When combined, it was a unique savory scent of which a single whiff left his mind refreshed. It felt extremely good!
"This is great!" Just from how the congee looked and its fragrance, Fangzheng was already certain that these were the epitome of perfection.
At that moment, Fangzheng felt the weight on his shoulder lessen as a tiny and nimble figure pounced at the Laba Congee. It was Squirrel! Fangzheng reacted quickly and grabbed the figure.
Having been grabbed, the little fellow was extremely belligerent. He kicked and swung his tiny fists as if he were saying, "If you don't let me eat it, I'll fight you!"
