The weather was good at noon, so the dining tables were set up in the courtyard, totalling four. All the government officials, along with the Shi family brothers, Shi Fengju, and the accompanying elders like the Li Zheng fit perfectly.
The wives and matrons had laid out the food and wine, then retreated.
In the kitchen, there was another table prepared for those helping out. The fare here was less elaborate, but it still included top-quality items.
Seeing that there was fish, meat, chicken, duck, and meatballs, along with the town's best Fenjiu, the officials were delighted. They exchanged polite greetings as they took their seats, inwardly praising the Sang family's hospitality.
Mrs. Li looked around the kitchen and suddenly exclaimed, "Oh my, has our Miss Wan's meal been prepared yet? I'll bring it to her!"
All the matrons laughed, "Mrs. Fang has already taken it over, we've been waiting for you!"
