Everywhere in China, before discussing big deals, people had to eat first. This had been passed down since ancient times, and it was no exception among the clans.
It appeared that it's just a table of delicious food, but in fact, it contained some secrets flavour.
Henry had a good knowledge of Chinese medicine and was very familiar with many rare plants. Many rare herbs had been added to the delicacies on the table. These herbs could only be found in the mountains and were rare in the outside world. Henry had not seen much of these rare herbs on the way. It could be seen that the Tang Clan treated him very solemnly this time.
The patriarch of the Tang Clan, Uriah and Teresa and those middle-aged people were sitting at this table.
These middle-aged men had a very high status in the Tang family Citadel. In the Tang family Citadel, after the three patriarchs, these middle-aged men were ranked the highest.
Ferdinand Tang, the Master of the Tang Clan, was one of them.
Each of the members of the Tang Clan had a clear division of labour. The Patriarch's management was slightly complicated, and the patriarch would decide on any significant matter of the Tang Clan.
The Second Patriarch was in charge of the distribution and refining of the Tang Sect's poison. The poison was absolutely the most important thing for the Tang Sect.
The Third Patriarch was in charge of the creation and production of hidden weapons.
Apart from Ferdinand, the rest of the middle-aged men and women sitting on the table were in charge of the Tang Clan's guards, training the young, assigning the tasks, organizing attacks, and so on.
Such a large clan could only rely on self-sufficiency, which was not enough. Sometimes, there were tasks to be assigned.
Uriah had told Henry that the government would cooperate with the clan on some important overseas missions. During those crucial tasks, there were always some clansmen accompanying the officials.
Now, it could be said that the most important roles of the Tang Clan were gathered on this table. Logically speaking, Uriah and Teresa were not qualified to sit here, but because they brought Henry here, they were able to sit on the table. If this cooperation were successful, their status in the Tang Clan would also be raised.
"Young man, please start eating." The patriarch of the Tang Clan chuckled.
"Please." Henry said politely. He picked up the chopsticks and picked up the nearest dish in front of him. He put it in his mouth and tasted it slowly. An indescribable fragrance spread out in Henry's mouth. Henry couldn't help praising, "This dish tastes delicious. It's really well-prepared."
"Ha, ha, ha." A hoarse voice sounded from the side, and a slim older woman came from the side. Her hair started getting grey, and her voice sounded very uncomfortable. "This dish was made by me. I didn't expect that you would praise me so much. I am really flattered."
When the old woman came over, Uriah introduced her to Henry, "Brother Zhang, this is our Second Patriarch. She tried poison in her early years, and her throat was damaged."
Henry stood up and greeted the older woman with a fist-palm salute.
"You're welcome, Young man. This time, you're here to save our Tang Clan. You're our benefactor." The old woman sat down on the table and said, "Let's eat."
Henry looked at the dishes on the table. Uriah had just told him on his way here that the second Patriarch of the Tang Clan was in charge of the poison test and production of the Tang Sect's poison. So many delicacies were actually made by a poison master. If it were someone else, they would definitely not dare to eat too much, but Henry was obviously not one of them.
