"Alright then, miss, please wait for a moment, I'll bring it to you immediately."
The longer he delayed, the longer it would be. The waiter was a shrewd man and immediately compromised.
Since it was night, in the tavern, other than the cook, he was the only servant. So, every task needed him to run up and down.
Leaving the tray on the table, the waiter picked up the bowl of bitter melon with flies in it, turned around, and dashed to the kitchen.
No sooner had the waiter's figure vanished than Xuexue took out a packet from her bosom, lifted the cap of the wine jug, poured everything in, and then shook the jug vigorously a few times to ensure the medicinal powder was completely dissolved in the wine, before she resealed the cap and put the wine jug back on the tray. Then, as if nothing had happened, she sat back down, reached for her chopsticks, and leisurely resumed her meal.
