With that, Lu Yuhong asked Chen Aqing for two wine glasses and two pairs of chopsticks, generously inviting Xiu Fengyuan and Wei Yichen to taste the remaining food and wine.

Neither Xiu Fengyuan nor Wei Yichen minded that it was leftover food and wine. They drank the wine and sampled the dishes.

Although Xiu Fengyuan’s reaction wasn’t as candid as Lu Yuhong’s, the surprise in his eyes was undeniable.

He exclaimed, “The wine is Bai Lixiang. Lu, you are lucky. I’ve heard this delicatessen’s Bai Lixiang sells as fast as Zuixian Residence’s, often selling out early in the morning. I didn’t expect you could manage to get a pot.”

Having had his men inquire about it early, Xiu Fengyuan was aware that Bai Lixiang was now only sold in two places in Taizhou prefecture, and one must be quick off the mark in order to get it at the regular price.

At this time, one would normally not be able to find it at either Zuixian Residence or Xu Ji Delicatessen.

Lu Yuhong chuckled: “Naturally, my luck is extraordinary.”

Following that, Xiu Fengyuan went on to comment: “This deli’s preserved meat is as delicious as always. As for this raw pickled dish, this is my first taste of it. Is it a new product of the deli?”

With those words, Xiu Fengyuan turned to Chen Aqing.

Having picked up much from Wei Ruo, Chen Aqing now knew how to respond in such situations:” We haven’t decided whether to sell it yet. Today, we offer it as a complimentary dish for customers to try. The Sir is the among first to taste it.”

“Is there any more left? I’d like to buy some for the elders at home to sample.” Xiu Fengyuan queried.

Many of people in Taizhou prefecture love seafood, including many of Xiu Fengyuan’s family elders. He thought they would enjoy the taste of this raw pickled dish.

“Sorry, that was the last portion,” Chen Aqing answered.

Hearing this, Xiu Fengyuan couldn’t help looking at Lu Yuhong again, who was wearing a proud smile on his face.

“What can I say, I’m just lucky,” Lu Yuhong replied amiably.

In his heart, he thought that the delicious food given by Miss Wei of the Wei family was only for him. Xiu would have to wait on his whim if he wanted to eat it.

Xiu Fengyuan smiled and then turned to look at Wei Yichen, who had been silent all the while.

Wei Yichen had seemed a bit absent-minded the last few days. He had only been fully focused during their earlier challenge, but now he looked a little dull again.

“Brother Wei, what do you think of the food and wine?” Xiu Fengyuan asked.

“Delicate and delicious. A truly delectable delight,” came Wei Yichen’s response, following which he added, “My eldest sister also knows how to make this raw pickled dish.”

“Really? Is the dish your elder sister makes better than the one sold in this deli?” Xiu Fengyuan hurriedly asked.

Hearing the news about Wei Ruo, Xiu Fengyuan seemed quite interested.

Wei Yichen’s face revealed a bitter smile: “I don’t know. I’ve only seen her making it but I haven’t tasted it.”

Lu Yuhong, who knew the truth, chuckled to himself. The taste must be exactly the same as the dish Wei Yichen’s sister made was what he was eating!

Xiu Fengyuan’s expression put on a disappointed look.

As the topic shifted to Wei Ruo, Lu Yuhong tactfully said his piece, mentioning his recent encounter with Wei Ruo. “Speaking of which, Miss Wei of the Wei family had been to this deli earlier.”

“My elder sister was here too?” Wei Yichen inquired quickly.
