Master Nathan and Zachary Preston were chatting outside when they caught the aroma of the cooking food. Curious, he remarked, "What's Vera making? It smells amazing."
"Vera has always been a great cook," Zachary Preston said with a smile. "You'll find out when we eat."
Master Nathan immediately began looking forward to dinner, though, being his usually reserved self, he didn't show it too obviously.
The food was ready quickly. There were six dishes in total: beer-braised duck, spicy diced rabbit, stir-fried shredded potatoes with vinegar, braised eggplant, garlic stir-fried greens, and a small plate of stir-fried pork.
The six dishes were a true feast for the senses, with each one looking utterly appetizing.
Master Nathan took a bite of the beer-braised duck, and his eyes lit up. He asked Vera, "How did you make this duck? There's no gamy taste at all, and it's incredibly tender and delicious. It's not greasy in the slightest. This is the best I've ever had!"
