"Let's hurry. The sooner we leave, the sooner we'll get there."
Qin Tie said, locking his door behind him and taking a stance that signaled his eagerness to get going.
"We should eat breakfast first. The journey can be tough; you might not handle it well on an empty stomach."
Xiao Zeyu was less hurried than Qin Tie. He wanted to have a proper meal before they set off.
"Fine, fine!"
Though visibly impatient, Qin Tie had to comply with Xiao Zeyu's request.
Xiao Zeyu instructed the innkeeper to bring a steamer filled with steamed buns. In addition to their breakfast, he wanted to pack some for the road.
Steamed buns and dried meat were ideal travel foods. The buns could be warmed up by placing them over a fire on a tree branch, while the dried meat was good for quick energy and sustenance.
