He seemed to be preparing an early breakfast for Liou Yuan.
Smelling the enticing aroma, Liou Yuan, who had endured a year of frugal days at Five Extremes Mountain, felt his appetite stir and decided not to rush off, sitting in the small courtyard waiting for Gong Linqing to bring the food over.
He was making a specialty dessert from Huifeng County, using Spirit Rice pounded and sprinkled with osmanthus flowers, yielding a soft, glutinous rice fragrance combined with the floral scent of osmanthus.
As Liou Yuan enjoyed this sweet and fragrant dessert, he gave Gong Linqing a thumbs up.
The taste of the dessert was reminiscent of the osmanthus cake Liou Yuan had tasted in a previous life.
The flavor was even more aromatic and glutinous; Liou Yuan ate seven or eight immediately, leaving some for Gong Linqing.
Then he left the small courtyard under the courteous farewell of the dark-faced man, being escorted all the way to the entrance of Hufeng City.
