Back In Time For Imperial Examination Chapter 91

In the end, Ryan Cui still didn't get to drink the liquor.

After watching the wine being steamed, the two men rode back to the house, changed into new home clothes and had dinner. Captain Xie only had someone bring a jar of refined wine that had been steamed once, and gave him two cups at lunch, asking him to taste it while eating the dishes, just to try it for a taste. After drinking the two cups, even the wine was taken away from him, and he was only allowed to drink some fake lychee soup made from sour plums to relieve the greasiness.

The lunch at the farmhouse was not as exquisite as the Qianhu Mansion in Beijing, but it was fresher: a pig had just been slaughtered, and the meat from the ribs was cut to make steamed meat in a porcelain pot, pork fat wrapped in meat stuffing to make sand-stuffed meat, and sweet and sour tender lychee meat. There were also large pieces of roasted mutton on an iron fork, which were cut at the table. The mutton fat dripped with the knife, and the snow-white mutton fat was mixed with the lean meat. The skin was crispy and the meat was tender. The slightly sweet sauce aroma seeped into the meat. Although there was no cumin, the taste was unexpectedly tender.

The side dishes are not surprising, all of them are freshly picked vegetables from the vegetable garden behind the house. Pick the youngest and most tender ones, and just stir-fry them with meat and vegetable oils, or boil them in broth according to your taste, and season them with bamboo shoots, green garlic, and mushrooms. They are also fragrant, sweet and smooth, and not inferior to meat.

Anyway, Ryan Cui usually gets enough exercise, so he doesn't have to worry about fat intake. He eats whatever is given to him during meals and eats it happily. He is exactly the kind of guest that hosts love to see the most.
