"Mr. Lang, this was sent by someone from the mansion." A servant from the Pingyang Marquis Mansion placed a large food box in front of several young men.
"The ladies said that our husbands had a hard time studying in the Imperial College, so they asked me to bring some food to them."
There were several princes from the Pingyang Marquis Mansion who were studying in the Imperial College, including Chen Zhuo, the second son of the first house, Chen Rong, the second son of the second house, Chen Xiao, the third son of the third house, and Chen Di, the second son of the third house.
Chen Di is the oldest. He is eighteen years old this year and is a father, but he is still studying in the Imperial College.
But Chen Di will probably take the exam next year. As long as he is in high school, he can graduate from the Imperial College.
There are only four of them who are studying in the Imperial College in Pingyang Houfu, but in fact, there is only one recommended place in the Houfu, and the rest of them entered the Imperial College only after passing the exam.
These young people in the Pingyang Marquis Mansion are quite good at studying, and the masters at the Imperial College also like these young people very much.
The Imperial College also requires accommodation. Even though the Imperial College is located in Chang'an City, students still have to live in accommodation and only have two or three days of rest and relaxation every month.
Of course, parents of students can give things to students, as long as the students cannot leave the Imperial College.
The things Pingyang Houfu brought over this time were similar to the ones before, but I didn't expect that the servants also specially brought fresh fried chicken, beggar's chicken and other delicacies.
"Lang Jun, this is the mushroom oil and mushroom chicken sauce made by Chef Wang in the mansion. It is very good to mix with noodles or rice."
"This is the jerky made in the house. This is spicy, this is five-flavored, and this is sauce-flavored."
The servants of Pingyang Hou Mansion took out the various sauces prepared by the chefs of the Hou Mansion and told them one by one what they tasted like, how to eat them, etc.
"Mr. Sir, it's only ten days since the Imperial College can bring things over, so the ladies have asked their slaves to deliver these sauces to the gentlemen. I hope the gentlemen will eat better in the Imperial College and don't get hungry and lose weight."
Chen Di looked at the things in front of him and paused while eating the fried chicken legs, "There are so many, even the few of us can't finish them all."
The Imperial College only allows families of students to send things for ten days, but Pingyang Marquis Mansion sent too many things this time, right?
There are too many kinds of sauces, mushroom oil, etc. in these jars. Although the four men ate a lot when they were growing up, they did not say that they consumed so much in just ten days.
Have you finished eating the sauce?
"The wives said, husbands can also share it with their classmates." The servant replied with a smile.
"Very good." Chen Zhuo nodded.
"Will the house just send us food? Where are the other brothers?" Chen Xiao asked.
"The other princes' academies also sent some to them. How can I not give these things made in the house to all the princes?"
"Chen Wu!" "Chen Wu!"
Just when Chen Di and others were worried that there were too many things from home, a cheerful voice came from not far away, and soon people were running in front of them.
"Let me tell you, Chen Wu, you must have fried chicken and beggar's chicken here to eat!" The visitor said with a handsome and unrestrained face, and then directly snatched the fried chicken leg from Chen Zhuo's hand and started to chew it.
"Hey! I haven't even had a bite yet!" Chen Zhuo yelled angrily. The chicken drumstick he just picked up was snatched away before he even had a chance to take a bite.
"Which one of us is following which? Besides, if you have chewed this chicken leg, I won't eat it." The visitor said confidently.
"Shu! Don't think that because you are my sister's brother-in-law, I don't dare to do anything to you!" Chen Zhuo said angrily.
"What are these? Did your family give them to you? Are they all for food?" The visitor ignored Chen Zhuo's angry look and looked at the jar in front of him, and then saw the name written on the paper on the jar.
He asked, "Mushroom oil? Mushroom chicken sauce? Spicy mushroom sauce?"
"My family has given you these sauces for cooking? Share some with me." Shu Yunyi said bluntly, "My family also gave me some things, I will share some with you."
"Shu Yunyi!" Chen Zhuo became even more angry when he saw him ignoring her.
Chen Di ignored the "conflict" between Shu Yunyi and his cousin, pointed to the jars and said, "Whatever sauce you like, you can get it yourself."
These small jars are not big, and each jar can hold about two or three taels of something, so the amount of sauce in this jar is only two or three taels, and no more than four taels at most.
"Well, the mushroom oil is good, the noodles should be delicious. The mushroom chicken sauce is also good, you can dip it into the steamed buns." Shu Yunyi said, looking at several jars.
"I'll get it when I get back later. Now let's open this beggar's chicken and try it." Shu Yunyi said while looking at the lumps on the table.
The beggar's chicken sent by the servants of Pingyang Hou Mansion is quite large. The net weight of the chicken is about five or six kilograms. Plus the mushrooms, chestnuts, glutinous rice, dates and other ingredients stuffed in the belly, then
It's even heavier.
The first thing Shu Yunyi noticed was this huge lump. Now that he had eaten a fried chicken leg to satisfy his craving, he could now taste the taste of beggar's chicken.
"We don't even have enough to eat!" Chen Zhuo subconsciously refused.
Even though this beggar's chicken is quite big, the four brothers have enough appetite, and they are all afraid that this beggar's chicken is not enough. Now there is Shu Yunyi, who has a similar appetite, and he feels that this beggar's chicken is really not enough.
"Hurry up, or Yan Liu will come over soon and there won't be enough beggar's chicken." Shu Yunyi urged.
Yan Liu is the brother-in-law of Chen Ran, the second daughter-in-law of Pingyang Hou Mansion, and Yan Zhan, the legitimate son-in-law of Laijiang Bo Mansion.
"Hurry up, Chen Wu, don't wait any longer!"
"Shu Yunyi, can you call me by my name properly? Chen Wu, Chen Wu, what do you call me?" Chen Zhuo said unhappily.
"Oh, I called you Chen Wu because we have a good relationship. If you ask me to call someone else, I won't call you Chen Wu."
"Haha..." Chen Zhuo sneered. He didn't believe Shu Yunyi's words, but he ignored him and opened the beggar's chicken. He was also greedy for the taste of beggar's chicken.
"Fifth brother, move faster." Chen Xiao urged. Although he ate two fried chicken wings and one fried chicken drumstick, he was still hungry for the taste of beggar's chicken. Fifth brother, move faster.
Under the urging of everyone, Chen Zhuo quickly cracked open the lumps on the beggar's chicken, and after peeling off the lotus leaves, the fragrance wafted out.
"Who's eating the beggar's chicken?"
"It smells so good. Who is eating something? Why is it so fragrant?"
"Beggar's chicken? Is this what beggar's chicken tastes like?"
"Who sent the beggar's chicken?"
"I told my family to send me a beggar's chicken this time, but they said it was too difficult to buy. Who is eating the beggar's chicken now?"
The Chen family brothers ignored the passers-by's questions and quickly tore off the drumsticks and wings from the beggar's chicken, and also tore off the meat of the beggar's chicken to taste.
You have to be quick when eating the beggar's chicken, otherwise you will be snatched away by classmates who come over after smelling the smell. Wouldn't that be a pity?
Mushrooms, also known as mushrooms and fragrant mushrooms.
