There was clearly one table full of food and plenty of pastries, enough for everyone. But Tao Jin insisted on ordering a separate table for the two of them, and everyone else sat in the private room across from them.

The table was filled with Jiujiang's unique delicacies. Jing Chunxi forcibly removed half of the dishes from the table for the two of them, but the table was still almost full.

A golden plate of clay pot chicken sits in the center of the table, its aroma radiating and mouth-watering. The chicken is slow-cooked in the clay pot, resulting in tender meat and a rich broth. Every bite is filled with a rich, earthy flavor.

The thinly sliced ​​dried tofu is crystal clear and exudes a fresh bean fragrance. This taste is really not found in Beijing.

Jiujiang dishes are usually spicy, but this table of dishes looked well-cooked and original, most of them without any hint of chili pepper, which made Jing Chunxi very happy to eat.

This taste is obviously the result of special instructions to the kitchen.

There's also a plate of steaming hot Xunyang glutinous rice, soft, sweet, and distinctly grained. Each grain is imbued with a rich, glutinous rice aroma. Paired with some savory bacon and sausage, the meaty aroma blends beautifully with the rice, creating a truly delicious meal.

Several plates of special cakes were evenly arranged on the four corners of the table, among which were the most famous osmanthus cake and glutinous rice cake.

The osmanthus cake was as white as jade, melted in the mouth, sweet but not greasy, with a light osmanthus fragrance. Mochi, on the other hand, was made with glutinous rice flour, with a smooth and delicate crust and a sweet and delicious filling. Jing Chunxi took two bites of each, feeling the sweetness penetrate her heart. She squinted her eyes happily, savoring the taste for a moment.

Tao Jin kept picking up food for Jing Chunxi, noticing the expression on her face, but he didn't eat much himself.

"What's wrong? Why aren't you eating?"

Jing Chunxi ate half of his meal and suddenly looked at the person opposite him. He touched his face belatedly, thinking there was something dirty on it.

"No!" Tao Jin smiled indulgently, then said, "I've been eating this flavor for several days, and I'm not that greedy."

His voice was gentle, as if he was comforting her, but also as if he was explaining his actions.

Jing Chunxi said "Oh" and suddenly frowned. With a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone, he said, "You are really extravagant. This table must cost several hundred taels, right? And you dare to eat it every day."

She thought about how expensive the steamed buns and meat dumplings outside were, while they were enjoying such a sumptuous meal here, and she couldn't help but feel a little guilty. The meat in her mouth suddenly didn't taste as good to Jing Chunxi.

Tao Jin looked at her angrily and couldn't help laughing, his eyes full of doting: "You even care about this.

Chunxi felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, so she simply lowered her head and ignored him. Seeing that she was silent, Tao Jin explained seriously, "There are eight of us, and we usually only eat four dishes for a meal."

There was a hint of apology in his tone, as if he was explaining his previous behavior.

But this reason didn't make sense at all. Jing Chunxi's tone was still a little aggressive: "Then why didn't you join us just now?"

Jing Chunxi was furious. They had to split the meal between two tables when they could have easily handled it with just one. She felt like a whole table of food had been wasted. Now, looking at the half-eaten plate, she felt a pang of pain.

Tao Jin scooped her another half bowl of chicken soup before saying, "I'll only tell you some information. As for the next steps and who to tell, it's up to you."

Then I saw that her expression was very calm, and she didn't think she had done anything wrong. Her eyes and face were full of: I am not familiar with them.

Jing Chunxi complained in his heart: The habits of a young master are indeed domineering.

She teased, "So you want me to owe you a favor, don't do this again in the future. It makes me feel uncomfortable when I eat it."

Jing Chunxi said this, but Tao Jin kept eating the meat he put in her bowl, wanting to eat and drink everything on the table.

Since I've already eaten it, I can't waste it. Otherwise I'd feel sorry for the hundreds of taels of silver.

Now she even wanted to take the leftovers home. Even if she packed them up and gave them to the beggars, she might even be able to save a few lives.

Even the most ordinary whole grain noodles can be life-saving food for those who are hungry.
