Madam Tang and Madam Yang were both very interested in this pot of soup, wanting to know just how delicious it could be to receive such unanimous praise from Lord Tang and Lord Yang.
So they didn't wait for lunch; once they arrived in the back courtyard's living room, they all sat cross-legged, and Madam Tang had the servants bring bowls and chopsticks.
She said, "Let's drink while it's hot. Otherwise, if it cools by lunchtime and we reheat it, the taste will change."
This reason received unanimous agreement from everyone.
Thus, Manbao opened the pot, and the aroma of chicken soup wafted through the air.
Madam Tang and Madam Yang, who hadn't tasted it before, smelled it and took a sip, then smiled and said, "It is somewhat better than what we usually have at home."
But there wasn't much of a difference.
Yang Heshu and Tang He smiled and said to them, "You should drink more."
