After closely observing Chen Yu and seeing that he didn't look like he would be calming down anytime soon, Yang Qing offered him the one thing he thought would help.
"Care for some wine?" Yang Qing offered as he gestured toward one of the tables by the patio.
Smiling awkwardly, Chen Yu nodded, and the two of them made their way over to the table, where Yang Qing, with practiced ease, was already filling their cups before Chen Yu had even comfortably settled into his seat. After a moment's pause and brief deliberation from Yang Qing, a spread of thinly shredded beef, accompanied by bowls of different sauces, appeared on the table.
After gesturing toward the meat and inviting Chen Yu to help himself, all while heaping praise on the dish and how magnificently it paired with the wine, Yang Qing took his seat. He immediately reached for one of the slices, dipped it into a spicy sesame sauce, took a satisfying bite, and washed it down with a sip of wine.
