Chapter 24 Stunned
The snow-white rice is served in a large porcelain bowl and is full of aroma! Every seven or eight people boiled vegetables in a large pot of salt water, and then added a pot of large bones to boil soup, and there was no table, so they all squatted on the ground.
There was a sound of swallowing saliva all around, and the young juniors blinked reluctantly as they stared at the bone broth, but no one moved their chopsticks!
The original name of the stunned man was not called stunned, and his grandfather gave him a very atmospheric name, Lord Wang!
It's just that this adult didn't get ahead as his grandfather expected...... Since I was a child, I was stunned, except for the long flesh, but the brain was not long at all, but in the early years, Lord Wang's family was also a well-off family, and I didn't have to worry about food and clothing.
It's a pity that there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, people have good and bad luck, and the Sui Dynasty seems to have collapsed overnight, and rebel armies have risen up everywhere!
said that it was the rebel army, but in fact, most of them were just a group of robbers, and the stunned grandfather was smart, and when the rebels arrived at home, they immediately handed over their life savings and fields, and finally saved the name of the whole family.
Looking at the neighboring village Liu family, which is similar to their family, because they are reluctant to inherit the ancestral inheritance, in the end, not only is the foundation gone, but the whole family has not survived, saying that it is a peasant uprising for the peasants, where is the cruelty that those of us in the peaceful era can imagine!
Although the stunned family kept people, the family suddenly returned to the point of poverty, and barely relied on the stunned grandfather to sell some private small things for two years, but it is not a long-term thing to sit and eat like this.
Later, the family was poor and couldn't open the pot, and if it continued like this, the family might starve to death, and the stunned grandfather thought about it, so he had to hand over a broken knife to the stunned son, and sent the stunned to the Li family's army that passed by the house at that time, and did not ask the stunned to make a name, but only to ask the stunned to live and fill his stomach.
At this time, the stunned man was staring at the broth with straight eyes, and he didn't realize that saliva had dripped onto the surface of his feet, this is meat! Although there are more bones than meat! But poor families can't eat meat once during the New Year! Not to mention this snow-white dry rice! Don't fall down with chopsticks! In my memory, when I grew up, I could count the number of times I could eat dry rice on one hand!
I thought I was coming over to do some chores, and I would be satisfied if I could mix gruel and drink, but I didn't expect that this small Shangguan not only did things neatly, but even the food was not ambiguous!
The wind rose, a fragrance wafted down the wind, and the stunned man was thinking about it, and unconsciously reached out to get the soup......
"Slap...", a calloused big hand stretched out from the ground and slapped the back of the stunned hand, and the stunned tears swirled in his eyes, but he couldn't help but scream!
The owner of the big hand was an old man in his fifties, and his mottled white hair made him look more like he was sixty or seventy years old. The little grown-up hasn't come back yet! You're going to eat it first?! There is no conscience! Such a good meal, feed the dog?! ”
A clever man who was stunned was beaten, and retracted his hand in general when he was electrocuted! Seeing the old man's angry appearance, he didn't dare to say a word, obediently lowered his head, groped the back of his hand vigorously, and let the old man scold.
Seeing this, the person next to him hurriedly came to persuade: "Uncle, forget it, forget it, the child is not sensible, just scold a few words and he knows that he is wrong!" ”
The old man was pulled by a few people next to him, and when he looked at the stunned and timid look again, he couldn't bear to scold anymore, but he just stared at the stunned man with hatred: "Dare to be so unruly in the future!" See how I clean you up! ”
This little commotion was seen clearly by Feng Da and Liu Er, who were sitting at the front, but the two of them just glanced at this side coldly, and did not speak, everyone was waiting for Xiao Han here, in fact, it was not what they ordered, but everyone did it consciously!
Poor people are the most conscientious, if you are good to me, then we have to be worthy of you! Although you are an official, this meal may not be uncommon, but we can't wait for you to eat it yourself, that is not done by a person with a conscience!
Time passed slowly, until the soup in the basin gradually stopped steaming, and finally a series of footsteps sounded at the gate, and the stunned heart was excited, and the tears were about to fall, and finally came back, and it was finally time to eat, and the food was placed in front of him, but he was not allowed to eat, which was simply the biggest torment for him!
The gate was forcefully pulled open by the auxiliaries who rushed forward, and 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 chagrin, and when he looked up, he was almost so frightened by the scene in front of him that he almost jumped back again! Can you imagine the appearance of dozens of people sitting in the courtyard silently watching you together as soon as you enter the door?
Feng Da and Liu Er saw Xiao Hanleng's appearance at the door a little funny, the two of them quickly got up, trotted all the way over, and when they got closer, the two of them hugged their fists: "My lord, you are back!" ”
This was like a signal, and at the bottom, all the people sitting on the ground stood up and clasped their fists in unison: "My lord, you're back!" ”
Xiao Han was a little dumbfounded when he looked at the scene in front of him, what was going on? How do you go out and come back differently?
"Feng Da, Liu Er, what are you doing?" Xiao Han looked at the black crowd, lowered his voice and asked the two people next to him.
"I'm waiting for you to come back for dinner!" Liu Er put away his usual smiling face and replied seriously.
"Why don't you eat first, why are you waiting for me?"
"Hey, my lord, it's not like we're waiting for you, it's those brothers down there who are waiting for you spontaneously!"
Feng Da and Liu Er may be a little confusing in general, but they are certainly not useless if they can be a personal guard, they didn't expect that Xiao Han could make the people below respect him so much with just one meal, but later the two of them found that the direction of things was a little unexpected, and the two of them made a decisive decision! Since this is the case, then they can't giggle, they must seize the opportunity to help Xiao Han establish his prestige!
So as soon as they saw Xiao Han come 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 majesty, and now it seems that the progress is very good, I think that as long as Xiao Han takes the opportunity to say a few more official words, this person's heart will be retracted! Things will definitely be much smoother in the future!
It's a pity that they don't understand Xiao Han, and Xiao Han doesn't understand these things at all......
Looking at a yard of people, Xiao Han only felt a warmth in his heart, full of emotion, he didn't think about buying people's hearts at all, let alone buying people's hearts with a meal, he just simply wanted everyone to work under his hands and be able to do it happily, eat happily, before in the barracks, he didn't have the ability to make everyone eat well, but now these people are under his control, he can let everyone eat those "pig foods" again? ”
Originally, when he went to find Old Man Hua, he was still thinking about paying his subordinates, but he didn't expect this idea to almost scare Zhang Qiang to death when he met him halfway, what are you doing? Are you bribing the army?! How many heads do you have?
Although I feel a little uneasy to let people work hard for you without paying a salary, Xiao Han also knows that everyone has to follow the rules, and in this era, this is the rule!
At this moment, seeing that everyone was waiting for him from the bottom of their hearts, although it was just a meal, the friendship in it made the guilt he had just suppressed rise to his heart.
Xiao Han slowly walked in from the door, his eyes were a little red, he took the broth brought by a small soldier, and held it high: "Let everyone wait for a long time, big guy, eat!" You're welcome, let go of your belly and eat! Evening, tomorrow, and! ”
After that, as if drinking wine, a large bowl of slightly cold bone broth was poured into the mouth, the cold broth tasted a little greasy, and the salt was less, but when you drink it in your mouth, it feels more delicious than the soup you drink at the wedding banquet in a star-rated hotel!
