Knowing that Zhong Weiye had a sweet tooth, Yuanchun prepared a meal at noon: sweet and sour pork, stir-fried beef with celery, braised fish fillets, deep-fried river shrimp, and a pot of pork rib and mushroom soup. She also steamed a pot of rice.
It wasn't the first time Zhong Weiye had eaten Yuanchun's cooking. Because her food was so delicious, she was always the one in charge of meals whenever the riding team was out in the field, with the rest of the group serving as her sous-chefs. Even with limited seasonings, her cooking always earned a thumbs-up from him.
With a full range of seasonings available today, the quality of Yuanchun's meal was three levels above what they were used to in the wild. Zhong Weiye praised her between every bite, and it wasn't until he set down his chopsticks that he realized he had polished off the entire spread. He had even used half a bowl of rice to soak up the leftover gravy from the beef and fish.
