The Pang family's dinner was quite hearty, Durin had not eaten such a hearty Eastern Land cuisine in a long time, especially that Dongpo Pork, which Old Pang learned from Director Sun, and made himself today. The meat melted in your mouth, and this deeply moved Durin.
After all, the last time he ate such authentic good meat was back in the old days at the High Tower, and after he left the High Tower, he hadn't really tasted such melt-in-the-mouth braised meat again.
It's no wonder they're one of the famous aristocratic families in Shangjing, and Old Pang's elevated status seems to guarantee the family's prosperity to a certain extent—he doesn't bother with most things, just leads his sons and grandsons to serve in the military at three fronts and four seas. Chang Tang has changed three royal families, and none have been willing to fall out with him, which is evidence.
