The next day, a strong fragrance wafted out from several officials' rooms.
All the other officials who were having lunch at the yamen lost their appetites.
"Where did such a fragrant smell come from?" Someone could not help but ask.
"Old Duke Liang is having lunch. He brought a few cans of meat from his grandson gave him and shared with the officials." Those who knew the situation replied.
Everyone was speechless.
They were wondering why Old Duke Liang, who had been taking leave from home because it was too hot, had come to the court today.
It seemed like he was here to show off some canned meat.
"What's canned meat? Why does it smell so good?"
"I heard that it's something from the northern border. They make the meat into many flavors, then seal it in a clay jar. It can be preserved for more than half a year without going bad."
This was what he had heard from Old Duke Liang when he passed by.
