"It'll be ready soon, just one last dish: braised tofu with black bean dace." Li Xiangdong, covered in sweat, said as he threw some chopped green onions into the pot.

"You're really capable, Xiangdong. Whoever marries you will be incredibly lucky." Huang Guimei wiped the sweat from Li Xiangdong's face with a handkerchief. "I'll make the tofu. You bring the dishes in and let's eat."

Factory Director Yan stared in disbelief at the large bowl of braised pork and potatoes, the plate of sweet and sour carp, the dish of golden egg pancakes, the plate of tomatoes with sugar, and the small bowl of cucumber salad on the table. "Did you make all of this?"

"Yes, why don't you and Uncle Liu try it and see how it tastes?" Without waiting for Director Yan's instructions, Li Xiangdong took a bottle of Lutaichun liquor from the cabinet and filled the small wine cups in front of the two men with the liquor.

Liu Donglai had been carefully observing Li Xiangdong's every move since he came in. He noticed that Li Xiangdong gave the three of them some space to talk and then quietly went to the kitchen to prepare the meal. Liu Donglai was certain that Li Xiangdong was a perceptive and sensible child.

Judging from the way he talked to Brother Yan and Sister-in-law Yan, he seemed very casual and relaxed, which suggests that he has a close relationship with the Yan family.

As the wine flowed freely, Director Yan and Liu Donglai began to boast, "Donglai, you said you were searching everywhere for Ganoderma lucidum and other miraculous herbs, but you never expected to find them in my small county town, did you? Let me tell you, even I didn't expect to see such good He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum). Do you remember that longevity man with He Shou Wu in the museum? This one is even better than that one! Just think about it! Of course, those two Ganoderma lucidum were rather ordinary, just the Five Clouds on One Plant, haha! Haha!"

These words made Liu Xiangdong even more eager. He put down his chopsticks, grabbed Director Yan's hand, and stopped calling him "Brother Yan" directly.

"Brother, I've been looking for so long, but I haven't found anything suitable. Why don't you take a look for me?"
