Zhang Guanghang's wine-braised chicken was at its final step. He slowly poured the thick, correctly colored sauce over the chicken on the plate, sprinkled a little black pepper and salt on the surface, carefully wiped away the splashed sauce, and then placed the decorative broccoli on top.
The scent of the wine was rich and aromatic, with a savory and mellow taste.
Zhang Guanghang gestured with his hand to signal he was done.
The most beautiful staff member, wearing a smart uniform and walking in 6-centimeter stiletto heels, had a smile on her face that belonged only to those victorious in conflict. She stood tall with her chest out and stomach in, slightly tilting her head down in a composed manner, and gracefully picked up the plate of wine-braised chicken from the table.
"The dish you've made smells amazing," her voice sweet, her smile even sweeter.
"Thank you for the compliment," Zhang Guanghang said, continuing to tidy up his cooking station.
