Chapter 155: The Sheep Pen in Highness Cheng's Manor

Chen Xiao Mi and the group had finally arrived at the capital city after a long and arduous journey.

Chen Xiao Mi and the group tried their best to make the journey comfortable, so they didn't overtax themselves too much, while Highness Cheng had long been awaiting their arrival with impatient expectancy.

As soon as they arrived at the capital city, they were led to the sheep pen.

Chen Xiao Mi looked at the flock of sheep frisking in the sheep pen, he said with admiration, "Highness Cheng, it looks like you've put great time and efforts here."

Highness Cheng smiled and said, "Indeed, I bought the best breed available and now it's time for Mai to distinguish himself, come on now, pick a lamb and roast it."

Laughter bubbled up inside Chen Xiao Mi, 'I've never met anyone who is this obsessed with good food.'

"I asked my butler to build the best sheep pen and selected the best grass for them since I heard about the Roast Whole Lamb," said Highness Cheng with a smug smile.

Chen Xiao Mi had long expected this situation and had mentioned it to Chen Xiao Mai. Therefore, Chen Xiao Mai was not surprised when Highness Cheng asked him to roast a lamb first thing he arrived at the capital city.

The ideal lamb for Roast Whole Lamb should be neither too fat nor too thin, the lambs in the sheep hen were all of fine breed, but they were all a bit fat.

Highness Cheng's wife and concubine were both curious about the Roast Whole Lamb, so they shadowed Chen Xiao Mai when he roasted the lamb.

Chen Xiao Mai was a little dull. He didn't have much of an idea about the status of the prince and the princess standing in front of him. He went directly to business after he gave them a head nod and brief greeting.

After two long hours, the Roasted Whole Lamb was finally served to the dining table in the manor.

The two ladies were infected by Highness Cheng, they were also on the tiptoe of expectation, they paid attention to their table manners in the beginning, but soon they started to gorge themselves just like Highness Cheng.

The general lamb meat had a strong gamy taste to it and some people didn't appreciate it, but Chen Xiao Mai had brought out the right flavors with a lot of spice and seasoning.

Highness Cheng and the two ladies had all thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

......

Chen Xiao Mai stayed in the guest room and looked at Chen Xiao Mi with a depressed expression, "Big Brother, Highness Cheng didn't even invite us to join him when we served him the lamb, they just finished the whole lamb by themselves!"

Chen Xiao Mi smiled, "It's fine, Mai. To start with, I heard that people in the capital city all pay great attention to status, we are not supposed to sit at the same table with His Highness. Secondly, we can always roast a lamb whenever we want to, take that as a compliment, they just love it too much."

Hearing that, Chen Xiao Mai had cooled down.

"Come on, Mai, haven't you been talking about the street food of the capital city? I'll take you out and explore," Chen Xiao Mi said.

Chen Xiao Mai's eyes lightened up and he exclaimed, "Really?" a

"Of course," Chen Xiao Mi thought to himself, 'I brought a thousand taels of silver, it should be enough.'

With that the two Chens went out in high spirits.

......

As soon as Chen Xiao Mi and Chen Xiao Mai came back, they received a money reward from Highness Cheng. It was 200 taels of silver, Chen Xiao Mai who was originally angry at Highness Cheng now beamed with smiles again.
