The snow-white rice is served in a large porcelain bowl, and the aroma is overflowing! Every seven or eight people had a large pot of salt water to cook vegetables and a large pot of bones to make soup. There was no table, so they all squatted on the ground.
There was the sound of swallowing all around. The young students stared at the bone soup and blinked, but no one moved their chopsticks!
Lengzi’s original name was not Lengzi, but his grandfather gave him a very grand name, Mr. Wang!
It’s just that this adult did not become as successful as his grandfather expected... He has been in a daze since he was a child. In addition to growing in weight, his brain has not grown at all. However, in the early years, Master Wang’s family was considered a well-off family, and he had a lot of food. You don't have to worry about wearing it, just be careful about what you want. The worst thing you can do is inherit the fields at home and then farm your own land or hire a few tenants, and you can live a stable life.
Unfortunately, there are unforeseen circumstances, and people have misfortunes and misfortunes. The Sui Dynasty was so prosperous and powerful that it seemed to collapse overnight, and rebel armies rose up in various places!
They were said to be rebels, but in fact most of them were just a group of robbers. The idiot's grandfather was smart. When the rebels came to the house, he immediately handed over his life savings and fields, finally saving the name of the whole family.
Look at the Liu family in the neighboring village, which is similar to theirs. Because they were reluctant to part with their ancestral property, not only the property was lost, but none of the family members survived. It was said that it was a peasant uprising for the peasants. The cruelty in it is not the same as in our peaceful times. What people can imagine!
Although Lunzi's family saved their lives, their financial situation suddenly returned to the point of poverty. They managed to survive for two years by relying on Lunzi's grandfather selling some small things he had secretly collected. However, sitting on his hands like this is not a long-term thing.
Later, the family was too poor to take the blame. If things continued like this, the whole family might starve to death. After much thought, Lunzi’s grandfather had no choice but to hand Lunzi a broken knife and send Lunzi to the house when he passed by. In the Li family's army, they don't want fools to become famous, they just want fools to survive and fill their stomachs.
At this time, the fool was staring straight at the broth, unaware that his saliva had dripped onto his feet. This was meat! Although there are much more bones than meat! But poor families can’t even eat meat even once during the Chinese New Year! Not to mention this snow-white dry rice! The chopsticks won’t fall down even if you hold them up! In my memory, I can count on one hand the number of times I was able to eat dry food when I grew up!
I thought I was here to do some chores and be satisfied with the gruel. I didn't expect that this young Shangguan not only did things quickly, but he even made sure to eat!
The wind picked up, and a scent of fragrance floated down the wind. He was lost in thought and unconsciously stretched out his hand to get the soup...
"Pa..." There was a crisp sound, and a big calloused hand stretched out from the ground and slapped the back of Lunzi's hand heavily. The slap made Lunzi's eyes well up with tears, but he couldn't hold back and didn't cry out!
The owner of the big hand was an old man in his fifties. His mottled white hair made him look more like he was sixty or seventy years old. At this time, he was glaring at the stupid man with eyes wide open and shouted in a low voice: "What are you doing! Little one?" The adults haven’t come back yet! Are you going to eat first?! Do you have any conscience! Feeding such a good meal to a dog?!”
The fool was so smart that he retracted his hand as if he was electrocuted! Seeing the old man's angry look, he didn't dare to say a word. He lowered his head obediently, kept groping the back of his hands, and allowed the old man to scold him.
When the people next to him saw this, they quickly came to persuade him: "Uncle, forget it, forget it, the child is not sensible, just scold him a few times and realize that he is wrong!"
The old man was grabbed by a few people next to him. After seeing the timid look on his face, he finally couldn't bear to scold him anymore. He just glared at the idiot with hatred: "You dare to be so unruly in the future! Let's see how I deal with you!" "
Feng Da and Liu Er, who were sitting at the front, could clearly see this little commotion. However, they just glanced at this side coldly and said nothing. The fact that everyone was waiting for Xiao Han here was not actually their order. , but this is what everyone did consciously!
Poor people are the most conscientious. If you treat me well, then we must treat you well! Although you are an official and may not be interested in this meal, we cannot wait for you to eat it yourself. That is not done by a conscientious person!
Time passed slowly, until the soup in the basin gradually stopped steaming, a series of footsteps finally sounded at the door, and the fool felt excited, and almost burst into tears. He was finally back, and the meal could finally be served. The delicious food was put on the table. In front of him, but not allowed to eat, this is simply the greatest torture for him!
The door was opened forcefully by the auxiliary soldiers who rushed forward. Outside the door, a not tall figure stepped over the high threshold and walked in, followed by two people, one tall and one short.
Xiao Han, who couldn't find the old man when he went back, came back full of annoyance. When he looked up, he was so frightened by the scene in front of him that he almost jumped back! Can you imagine that as soon as you enter the door, there are dozens of people sitting in the yard looking at you in silence?
Feng Da and Liu Er saw Xiao Han was looking a little funny at the door. They quickly got up and ran over. When they got close, they clasped their fists and said, "Sir, you are back!"
This was like a signal. All the people sitting on the ground stood up and clasped their fists in unison: "Sir, you are back!"
Xiao Han was dumbfounded when he saw the scene in front of him. What is going on? How can I go out and be different when I come back?
"Feng Da, Liu Er, what are you doing?" Xiao Han looked at the dark crowd and asked the two people next to him in a low voice.
"Waiting for you to come back for dinner!" Liu Er put away his usual smiling face and replied seriously.
"Why don't you just eat first? Why wait for me?"
"Hey, sir, this is not us waiting for you, these brothers down there are waiting for you on their own initiative!"
Feng Da and Liu Er may be a bit confusing at ordinary times, but they are certainly not useless if they can be personal guards. At first, they did not expect that Xiao Han could make his subordinates respect him so much with just one meal. Later, the two People found that the direction of things was a bit unexpected, and the two of them made a decisive decision! In this case, they can't laugh and joke, but must seize the opportunity to help Xiao Han establish his prestige!
So when they saw Xiao Han coming back, the two of them changed their usual laziness and hurriedly came up to greet Xiao Han respectfully, just to help Xiao Han establish his authority. And it seemed that the progress was very good. I think if Xiao Han takes the opportunity to say A few official words will make this person's heart shrink in an instant! Things will definitely go much smoother in the future!
It's a pity that they don't understand Xiao Han, and Xiao Han doesn't understand this at all...
Looking at the people in the yard, Xiao Han felt warm and moved in his heart. He never thought about buying people's hearts, let alone buying them with a meal. He just wanted everyone to be in his hands. He can work happily and eat happily. In the military camp before, he was unable to keep everyone well fed, but now that these people are under his control, he can let everyone eat those "pig food?"
Originally, when he went to see Old Man Hua, he was thinking about giving some wages to his men. Unexpectedly, this idea almost scared Zhang Qiang who met him halfway to death. What are you doing? Are you buying the army? ! How many heads do you have?
Although it feels uneasy to let people work hard for you without paying you, Xiao Han also knows that people must act according to the rules. In this era, these are the rules!
At this moment, seeing everyone waiting for him sincerely, even though it was just a meal, the friendship between them made the guilt he had just suppressed rise again in his heart.
Xiao Han slowly walked in from the door, his eyes a little red, took the broth brought by a soldier, and raised it high: "I've kept everyone waiting, big guy, eat! You're welcome, open your belly and eat! Tonight , there will be more tomorrow!"
After that, as if drinking wine, a large bowl of slightly cold bone broth was poured into his mouth. The cold broth tasted a bit greasy, and there was less salt, but when he drank it in his mouth, it felt better than on the stars. The soup you get at a wedding banquet in a first-class hotel is even more delicious!
