Back In Time For Imperial Examination Chapter 280

After the lecture, Gao arranged a meal outside the west corner gate. Thanks to this special education, Xie Ying, an assistant teacher, also had a chance to eat at the lecture. On the way home, she recalled the meal and sighed: "It's actually no different from a normal banquet, but with the word 'lecture' in it, the food tastes much more elegant."

Ryan Cui pondered for a moment and asked, "Maybe the usual gifts given to you military officers are mostly meat dishes, but this time you are given mostly healthy and light meals?"

There is some connection.

Normally, banquets and meals are mainly stewed, fried or pickled lamb, pork, chicken, duck, fish and shrimp, with fewer vegetables; the meat and vegetables in this meal are boiled or steamed, and there are also many wild and seasonal vegetables. Not much oil is used, so it tastes naturally refreshing.

Xie Ying smiled and said, "It must be that Eunuch Gao knows that you are a great man who knows how to maintain your health, so he arranged some light vegetarian dishes for you. I am enjoying some good dishes thanks to you. Divide the dishes you brought back later and send some to each of our two families, so that our family members can also enjoy the emperor's grace."
