The two of them walked into the room. Han Zhi placed the food box on the table and lifted the lid, and the aroma of the food instantly filled the air.
Han Zhi eagerly peered inside the box—there was the fish he loved; the second tier held rice and greens; and at the bottom of the third tier was braised mutton spine, underneath which lay glowing embers that kept the mutton broth bubbling away.
Gazing at the steaming mutton spine, his appetite flared up instantly and he hurried to pick up his chopsticks. He plucked out a piece and took a gentle bite, the tender mutton sliding right off the bone. Rich, savory broth trickled down the corner of his mouth, but he didn't even bother to wipe it as he sighed in satisfaction:
"Banniang is the only one who truly understands me. This mutton spine is just the thing to satisfy a craving!"
Watching Han Zhi wolf down his food, Zhang Xun couldn't help smiling and teased: "Junior Minister Han, looking at the way you eat, you must be so busy running things around here that you barely have time for a proper meal. You should eat your fill today and build your strength back up."
