Back In Time For Imperial Examination Chapter 136

After everyone left the side hall, they went to the left through the Shunmen Gate to receive the banquet.

In the palace, people still eat puffer fish, asparagus soup, and peach pickle in February. The banquets do not have such precious dishes as puffer fish, but mostly chicken, duck, fish, and river fish that are common in the local area. There is plenty of fish pickle. In addition, there are roast pork, roast chicken, roast duck, large and small intestines, fried lamb tails, kidneys, roast bamboo shoots and goose, stir-fried lamb tripe, braised fish, steamed fish with willows... and other common meat dishes in Beijing. Vegetables and pickles from all over the country are countless.

Except for Lord Li, who was an official in the Ministry of Personnel, the rest of these future ministers were still living in poverty in the Hanlin Academy. They were not polite at the banquet and advised Ryan Cui, the newcomer, "Don't be restrained. Try more new dishes. It counts as a trip to the palace."

All of them can have several meals every month, but Ryan Cui only comes to the palace once. Even if he has the opportunity to participate in the lecture again in the future, it will probably be a few years later.

Ryan Cui took their good intentions and started eating mushrooms and seaweed from other places that he had never eaten since he came to the Ming Dynasty. He ate them all without hesitation and filled his stomach. The lecturers had their own preferences, so they also threw down their chopsticks and picked up what they liked to eat without caring about face.
