They were busy until it was time to light the lamps. Juhua had woken from her sleep, so the Yang Family and everyone else went in to see her. They were all relieved to find her in good spirits. Huai Zi was left to keep her company, while the rest gathered cheerfully in the kitchen for dinner, the sound of their happy chatter and laughter traveling a long way.
The kitchen didn't have a big table, just a small one with stools of various sizes scattered around it. Only Qin Feng, Zhang Dashuan, and Zheng Changhe sat at the table. The others sat casually wherever they could find a spot. The table couldn't hold all the dishes, so the rest were placed on the cutting board and the stovetop, and everyone just helped themselves.
Zheng Changhe said to Qin Feng admiringly, "Doctor Qin, your master is truly a living immortal! If he hadn't taught you this exclusive secret technique, my Juhua would have been in serious trouble this time."
