For a time, everyone's mouths were full of oil and they were very happy.
Xu Fenglei also cut off a piece of meat and threw it into his mouth.
This is a lamb driven off the grassland. The meat is indeed extremely delicious. Even in the 21st century, more than a thousand years later, such mutton is of the highest quality and not something that ordinary wealthy people can enjoy.
However, after just eating one piece, he stopped what he was doing and looked across the river.
The girl holding the steamed buns in her hands was stunned as she looked at the gluttonous feast on the other side.
Not only her, but the rich aroma of meat drifted across the stream and entered the noses of the farmers, causing them to stop wolfing down their food, slowly raise their heads, and stare blankly at the other side.
A small stream seems to separate two worlds.
The dignitaries feasted unscrupulously, and no one noticed the swelling Adam's apple of the people on the opposite bank.
"Kids, come here."
Xu Fenglei waved to Li Chengqian and ordered,
"Cut a piece of mutton."
The children all cut off the tender mutton and handed it to Xu Fenglei:
"Master, here it is."
"Please enjoy, Master."
"..."
Seeing their diligent dedication, Xu Fenglei smiled and shook his head.
"No, it's not for my teacher."
He said softly,
"You have tasted the meat; you must also taste the things that the people eat."
"Go and exchange the meat in your hands for the steamed buns in their hands."
All the princes and princesses were stunned.
Swapping meat for steamed buns?
Isn’t that a huge loss?
Li Shimin and Changsun Wugou also stopped what they were doing and looked at Xu Fenglei.
"OK!"
Li Lizhi held the meat in her hand and said,
"I want to change, I want to change!"
The little girl Pianzi is still in a state of ignorance about everything in the world. She doesn't know what a steamed bun is, she just thinks it is a novel delicacy.
"Let's go."
Xu Fenglei also cut off a piece of mutton, took Li Lizhi's little hand, and walked onto the bridge.
Li Qingquan reacted and quickly followed.
Li Chengqian, Li Tai and Li Ke also grabbed the meat slices and kept up with their master.
Their actions attracted the attention of the ministers. Although they were still chewing pieces of meat in their mouths, their eyes had already crossed the shore.
"Old man, I can exchange this mutton for a steamed bun, okay?"
Xu Fenglei handed over the thick piece of mutton and smiled warmly.
The old farmer was stunned, swallowed subconsciously, and said hurriedly:
"No, no! This piece of meat can be exchanged for several kilograms of steamed buns! How can it be exchanged!"
Even so, his eyes fell on the piece of meat and he couldn't move away.
It smells so good!
"There's nothing wrong with it. I've never tasted steamed buns, so I just want to try them."
Xu Fenglei stuffed the slices of meat into the old farmer's hand, then took out a steamed bun from the basket, raised his hand with a smile and said,
"Fair deal, I took it!"
Old farmer: "..."
What kind of fair deal is this? He made a lot of money!
Touching the piece of meat in his hand and feeling its greasy and smooth texture, the old farmer was already very excited and his mouth was constantly secreting saliva.
But when he lifted it up, he couldn't bear to open his mouth.
If you take such a fat piece of mutton home and boil it in oil, you can cook it a lot, right?
How delicious would it be to cook with mutton oil?
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but become obsessed...
"Sister, sister, I'll trade the meat slices with you for steamed buns!"
Li Lizhi raised the piece of meat, stuffed it into the girl's hand, then raised her hand and said,
"Give it to me, I want a steamed bun!"
The girl was startled and wanted to change, but she hesitated and had to look at her father.
"Change it, change it!"
The old farmer said,
"You girl are so lucky today. We have never tasted meat like this in our lives!"
As he spoke, he carefully put the piece of meat into the basket, as if treating it as the most precious treasure, without daring to blaspheme at all.
"Okay, here you go."
The girl plucked up the courage and handed the steamed bun in her hand to Li Lizhi's hand.
"Master, Master! I got it!"
The little girl excitedly waved the steamed buns in her hand with a look of excitement on her face.
Xu Fenglei laughed.
At the same time, the other three people also stepped into the wheat field and exchanged with the farmers:
"Uncle, can I exchange the slices of meat for the steamed buns in your hand?"
"Okay, okay, okay, come and give it to you, give it to you! Can I exchange three steamed buns for a piece of meat for you?"
"I'll give it all to you, trade it with me! Trade it with me..."
"Ah...I don't need so much, this..."
"..."
The three of them stepped into the wheat field and received the warmest welcome instantly. Several farm men rolled up like crazy in order to exchange for a piece of meat.
If you offer three, I will offer five! I pay for everything!
In the end, the three pieces of meat from the three people were exchanged for a pile of white and yellow steamed buns. Li Chengqian and the other two couldn't fix it, so they could only hold a pile of food and return to Xu Fenglei.
"Master, in exchange for so much..."
"We are so popular..."
Several children said one after another, with a look of pride on their faces.
"Are you welcome?"
Xu Fenglei smiled slightly and said,
"Come, taste and see how this people's food is different from what we eat."
After saying that, he took the lead in lifting the steamed bun and put it into his mouth.
Click!
The teeth made a sound as if they had hit something hard.
Xu Fenglei gnawed down as if nothing had happened, and took a small piece off the steamed bun.
At the same time, several children all took a sip and ate it.
Click!
Click! Click!
Several crisp sounds came.
"Ah, my tooth! It hurts!"
"What the hell is this? Can I eat this? It hurts me so much!"
"Woooooooo..."
The children's fragile teeth hit the hard steamed buns, and suddenly there were howls of ghosts and wolves.
"Nibble slowly, little by little."
Xu Fenglei looked solemn and scolded,
"This is not tender meat and will not take care of your fragile teeth!"
"Be careful. If you knock a tooth out, you can't be a dentist!"
Hearing this, although the children were reluctant, they could only use their small teeth to grind the iron ball-like bun bit by bit with a grimace.
But grinding it off was just the first step. As soon as they chewed it in their mouths, their faces became even more ugly.
"It tastes so bad... It's like eating tasteless sand..."
"It's dirt, this is dirt... ugh!"
"Master, I can't swallow. It's too dry. I feel like my throat is blocked..."
"..."
Li Chengqian and others complained incessantly, and Li Lizhi kept chewing with a ferocious look on her face.
That's right, she hasn't even achieved the first step yet...
"Don't vomit!"
Xu Fenglei ordered,
"If anyone dares to spit it out, pick it up and eat it again!"
"For thousands of years, people all over the world have eaten this. For them, this steamed bun is even the best delicacy!"
"Why, the common people can eat, but you nobles can't?"
"eat!"
