The elderly Madam's hand paused while handling the Buddha Beads, and after a while, she reached out to personally pick one, squeezed it lightly, and juice burst forth, indicating it was freshly picked.
After a moment of surprise, the elderly Madam came back to her senses, "That's perfect timing. I've been wanting to eat fresh vegetables these past days. The ones sent from the cellar look fresh, yet the kitchen insists on using animal fat to both steam and cook them; the good taste is completely lost, what a shame."
Immediately, she instructed Sister Fang to arrange for it to be served at lunch.
Wang Yongzhu quickly replied, "Since you wish to savor that freshness, why not make a noodle soup for lunch, sprinkle some of these young bok choy seedlings on top; just scald them in hot water, and they're tender and sweet."
The elderly Madam was moved by the suggestion, and quickly agreed with enthusiasm for lunch, instructing Sister Fang to have someone properly oversee the preparation.
