When Gu's Eatery first introduced century egg and lean meat porridge, many people were uninterested; the greyish, murky appearance of the century eggs seemed quite strange to them. They still preferred buying lotus root starch to satisfy their sweet tooth, followed by two or three side dishes, which was enough for a meal.
If they felt like indulging, they could order a pot of wine. The wine served at the eatery was supplied directly by Gu's Wine Shop; apart from being a bit pricey, it was flawless.
Since the century eggs didn't cost much, the novelty of the name made it easy for Manager Xu to launch a tasting event. He simply couldn't believe that free food wouldn't attract customers.
