"However, although the county lady is noble, she also has many responsibilities and obligations." Old Madam Xue said earnestly, "In the future, your family must be careful and cautious, and not bring shame to the county lady."

Qian's mother nodded repeatedly, saying that her family would definitely be cautious and live up to the emperor's kindness.

The atmosphere of this banquet reached its climax when the imperial edict arrived.

Then the butler came and invited everyone to take their seats.

The prince brought the male guests to the table in the front yard, where the red-hot antique soup was bubbling.

Both sides of the table were filled with ingredients for the antique soup.

Thinly sliced ​​mutton rolls and venison rolls, as well as tripe, duck intestines, crispy meat, pork belly, various fried meatballs, spinach, chrysanthemum, Chinese cabbage, potatoes, radishes, shiitake mushrooms, mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, tofu, bean curd skin, yuba, winter melon, pumpkin, fungus, vermicelli...

In a corner of the table, there was the dipping sauce for the antique soup.

The prince took the lead and prepared a bowl of dipping sauce for himself.

General Xue and General Yang followed closely behind, imitating the prince's behavior and ordered themselves a bowl.

"This is the first time I've seen you eat it this way." General Yang smiled carelessly.

Lu Qing reminded him, "Put less, this is chili, very spicy."

When General Yang heard this, he scooped another spoonful and said, "Chili peppers, I like them."

Lu Qing immediately shut his mouth and pretended he didn't say anything.

There were five plates of braised food on the table, including a plate of braised pork head, a plate of braised pig's trotters, a plate of braised pig's heart and liver, a plate of braised chicken feet and duck wings, a plate of braised lotus root and potatoes, and other vegetarian dishes.

Butler Lu Ran brought up five jars of Erguotou. These wines were taken out of the space by Qian Chunhua in advance and poured into the jars.

After the prince raised his glass, everyone drank the wine in their glasses in one gulp.

"Good wine." General Yang praised loudly.

General Xue put down his wine glass, smiled and nodded.

This is the first time to drink this wine. Everyone feels that the taste is unique, dry and mellow, with a hint of spiciness when entering the mouth. It is like a blazing flame, spreading in the mouth, bringing a strong sense of stimulation.

This sense of stimulation then gradually turns into a mellow wine aroma with a long aftertaste that leaves a lasting aftertaste.

When swallowing, you can feel a slight burning sensation in your throat, but this burning sensation will quickly dissipate, leaving behind a light sweetness.

It’s really good wine.

General Xue turned his head to look at the wine jar and asked curiously, "Where did you buy this wine? It's so delicious."

The butler quickly replied, "The county lady gave it to me. I don't know where she bought it from."

General Xue and General Yang had to give up for the time being.

"Oh, this is so delicious." Sun Yudong picked up a piece of braised pork head, put it in his mouth, and exclaimed while chewing.

The meat is tender and juicy, with a fragrant aroma and a mellow taste that spreads on the tip of your tongue.

It was so delicious that Sun Yudong took two more pieces.

General Yang took it and started chewing on a pig's trotter. "Oh, it's really delicious. I've never eaten it before."

General Xue looked at them with disdain, leisurely picked up a piece of braised pig heart, and the moment he put it in his mouth, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He sped up the movements of his hands and mouth.

The prince and Lu Qing looked as if they had known this would happen, and started to eat with relish.
