Seeing this, Jing Zhe swallowed hard.
He hadn't eaten such a feast since the day he left the government office. This trip was worthwhile!
Hanhan put down the wine jar and was led to a room next door to wait for his meal. Su Moyan sat in the main seat, Jing Zhe sat below him, and Su Xinping sat between the two.
Only Feng Lianru remained in the room. He didn't sit at the table, seemingly preparing to do some chores like adding wine later.
Su Moyan had originally ordered large bowls of wine to be prepared, but now that strong liquor had been served, he had them removed and replaced with small wine cups. Otherwise, he was afraid that after a few bowls of strong liquor, they would be finished.
