Yang Qing had expected the reaction. Ever since entering the restaurant, Chen Yu had looked like someone discovering an entirely new world. So it came as no surprise when he immediately reached for the scroll. "Then I will use the scroll," he said, practically beaming from ear to ear as he unfurled it and was greeted by vivid, masterfully painted illustrations of countless dishes and drinks, accompanied by equally elegant calligraphy.
The paintings were so exquisitely done that Yang Qing wouldn't have blamed a starving cultivator for taking a bite out of the scroll. Even one only half-starved would likely fall to temptation. In a restaurant where the aroma of countless dishes permeated every inch of the air, it was all too easy to imagine that some of those enticing scents were wafting straight off the paintings.
