The Imperial guards have eaten a number of delicacies but this was their first time eating something that was so flavourful. When the Imperial Head Guard, Chief Du saw that the maids were bringing two more dishes, he reached out his chopsticks and took a bite of each.
Sure enough, the second he took a bite he felt a burst of flavours in his mouth. The Sichuan fish was filled with spicy but it was not spicy to the point where he could not taste anything other than the chilli peppers as for the braised pig trotters they were soft and chewy with the right amount of tenderness. They were boneless, glutinous and so delicious that he was about to swallow his tongue.
Chief Du first ate the noodles and then distributed the two dishes evenly on his side. And when he finished eating, he did not hold back and asked for more causing the guards to look at him with different expressions.
