"Hahaha! Lao Zhang, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you!"
Just when Zhang Han was feeling proud, Wang Ben suddenly burst into laughter.
"Um?"
Zhang Han turned his head suspiciously and found that there were suddenly many carriages outside the city gate, heading in their direction.
The carriage is different from ordinary ones. You can tell at a glance that it is a palace carriage!
There are large and small wooden barrels placed behind the carriage. If you guessed correctly, they should be delivering meals to them!
"No way? Dinner will be served just after midnight?"
Zhang Han was quite surprised when he saw this.
"belch……"
He just stuffed ten big meat buns into his stomach and was full. Is it time to start dinner?
Isn't this just teasing him?
If he had known he could have such a breakfast, what kind of buns would he have brought?
I carried it in my arms like a baby all morning, even bending down was difficult, for fear that I would be hungry when I had lunch at noon!
Well, this time, it was a miscalculation!
"Hahaha! Lao Zhang, keep a line in your behavior and don't be too proud...!"
Seeing the carriage delivering the food, Wang Ben put his hands behind his back and smiled leisurely, "Tell me, if I had split it between two of us just now, not only would I have received your favor, but you would have been able to keep some food, the best of both worlds! It's better now, in the palace. You can’t eat my food, and I still don’t accept your favor, so why bother!”
"Hey hey hey! Hiccup...! Lao Wang, in fact, those buns just wanted to be left to you! It's just that you grabbed them as soon as they came up, so I wanted to tease you on a whim, so I did that! You won’t want it if I give it to you later, there’s nothing I can do, so I’ll eat it!”
Zhang Han, who was originally proud of Zhang Han, now found out that the clown had become himself, and quickly changed his attitude.
But Wang Ben didn't believe him at all.
Even a fool can see that this guy didn't want to give it to him just now.
Just plan to eat alone!
"Okay, okay! We've known each other for more than a day or two, so I don't understand you? Let me tell you this, I understand you just like a farmer understands dung!"
After leaving a mocking remark, Wang Ben walked leisurely to the nearby woods with his hands behind his back.
I just drank a lot of water, and now I have to drain out as much as possible to make room for the food in the palace!
"You...this...hey...!"
Zhang Han grimaced and sighed helplessly.
As the meal delivery carriage got closer and closer, the ministers also put down their work and walked towards the field.
A breeze blew, bringing with it the scent of rice.
Thinking of the hot rice, Zhang Han felt even more regretful.
If he had known that dinner would be served so early, why would he stuff so many buns? As a result, I can’t eat anything now!
"belch……"
It’s okay if he just can’t eat it, but he can’t stop burping, as if he’s afraid that others won’t know he’s eaten it secretly!
"Xu..."
After a while, the carriage stopped steadily on the ground, and the ministers gathered around and looked excitedly at the barrels on the carriage.
Everyone got up before dawn, grabbed a few bites of rice, and then went to wait outside the palace gate, for fear of being late!
After arriving outside the city, I worked hard again, consuming a lot of energy. I was already hungry and my chest was pressed to my back. Fortunately, the meal came early, otherwise I might not have been able to hold on until noon!
"Your Majesty, it's not even noon yet, why is dinner already served?"
Ying Feiyu drove the tractor back and happened to stop next to Zhang Han, so he asked.
"Usually, everyone returns home early for dinner at this time. We are already used to it! In addition, we have done heavy physical work today, so meals must be provided in time...!"
Ying Feiyu turned off the tractor, stepped on the pedal, and jumped out of the car, "What? Zhang Shangshu is not hungry?"
"Uh... not bad... not bad!"
Zhang Han was perfunctory with an embarrassed look on his face.
He can't say that he just ate ten big meat buns and he's not hungry at all now, right?
Then I wonder what His Majesty will think of him!
"Come and eat quickly, otherwise you won't be able to do the afternoon work!"
Ying Feiyu lightly dusted off the dust on his body and walked towards the carriage.
"well……!"
Zhang Han forced out an ugly smile and nodded.
Then he jumped off the tractor, lowered his head, and slowly moved toward the carriage step by step!
I was burping while walking!
It is no exaggeration to say that he really can't even drink a sip of water now!
"The food for so many people probably isn't anything interesting!"
While moving, he muttered softly.
"Liu Shaoqing! This is yours!"
"Wang Shangshu, this is yours!"
"General Yan, Tang is over there...!"
Twenty or thirty little chamberlains unloaded the barrels from the carriage, took out the tableware, and distributed meals to the ministers who had been doing farm work all morning.
Back and forth, busy!
When Zhang Han walked over, the ministers were already holding their own meals and eating them with relish!
"Huh? How do you make this? I've never eaten it before!"
"Yes! Spicy and refreshing, it goes very well with rice!"
"That's right! Putting vegetables and meat together, it tastes a bit like hot pot, but it's not very similar!"
"Whatever it is! As long as it tastes good! Please give me another bowl of rice...!"
After being hungry all morning, the ministers stood on the ground and ate hungrily, regardless of their appearance.
The onlookers smelled the spicy and delicious smell, and their stomachs growled unsatisfactorily, and then they left one after another and returned to the city to cook!
Zhang Han's nose twitched and he smelled the fragrance, so he came closer and said, "Your Majesty, this... what is this? Why have you never eaten it before?"
He has been with Ying Feiyu these years, and he thinks he has tasted enough delicious food.
But he had never seen the dishes in front of him before!
Various vegetables and meats are mixed together, plus red peppers, it looks very appetizing!
Although there was only one dish, the ministers enjoyed it very much.
Because each vegetable has a different taste and is full of novelty!
"This is called spicy hotpot, which I just recently researched...!"
Ying Feiyu held up his chopsticks and introduced with a smile, "This dish is similar to hot pot. All the vegetables and meat you usually see can be stir-fried together. It is spicy and fragrant, and has endless aftertaste!"
"Spicy hotpot?"
Zhang Han smacked his lips, saliva was secreting from his mouth, and he felt regretful in his heart.
How did he know that there would be new dishes in the palace today, or dishes that would make you feel appetizing just by looking at them?
If he had known this, he would rather be hungry until noon than wait for this new dish!
"What? Zhang Shangshu still hasn't eaten?"
Ying Feiyu picked a piece of crispy lotus root and put it into his mouth, asking suspiciously.
"Forehead……"
"Your Majesty, there is no need to ask, Zhang Shangshu has already eaten!"
Zhang Han was thinking of excuses when he was ruthlessly exposed by Wang Ben who had just walked over.
"Huh? Are you full?"
Ying Feiyu was quite surprised.
"This old guy is a solitary eater! He packed a dozen big meat buns and just finished eating them all, so now he can't eat any!"
"belch……"
As soon as Wang Ben finished his mocking words, Zhang Han was about to quibble, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a burp came out ruthlessly.
