Zhao Sheng set up a banquet to entertain Zhao Kuo, it seems that he intends to show Zhao Kuo what is the son of Zhao Guo, or he just wants to show his love for Zhao Kuo, in short, this banquet is very luxurious, Zhao Sheng sits on the upper seat, Zhao Kuo sits on his left side, and his guest sits on the right side, on the table in front of everyone, full of all kinds of fruits, in this era, fruits are not cheap, the rarer the fruit, the more expensive the price.

In order to better preserve these fruits, the nobles deliberately invented cellars, and even stored ice cubes, which were used in the summer, and the fruits were not just picked up and eaten directly, these fruits were made into various forms of food and drink by the people.

There are all kinds of fruit slices stacked into a Zhao shape, and there are pear dregs that are mashed together with ice cubes, Zhao Kuo looked at these small desserts, dumbfounded, Zhao Sheng only thought that he had never seen so many fruits, had never seen such cooking skills, and smiled and told him to eat more, of course, Zhao Kuo did not see so many fruits, and even he knew many kinds of fruits that they had never heard of, and what surprised him was that there was such a way to eat in this era.

The staple food is meat, the aristocracy of this era likes to eat meat very much, so there is a saying that meat eaters despise, and for the cooking method of meat, this era has also developed, even if Zhao Kuo does not know how to cook, at least he can see that this era has mastered the methods of roasting, boiling, stir-frying, etc., what surprised him even more is that there is beef in these meats, because of the importance of cultivating cattle, unless it is necessary to sacrifice, people are unwilling to slaughter cattle for food.

Of course, a big nobleman like Pingyuan Jun got a few old cows that were too old to farm, slaughtered them and ate meat, and others couldn't say anything, even if he pulled a cow that was about to go to farming and slaughtered it, it is estimated that no one dared to say anything.

Everyone ate beef and mutton with all their might, drank wine, and touted Zhao Sheng's legendary deeds, so happy, and because in this era, the size of the meal represents whether a person is brave or not, so everyone is open to eat, eating more will only be praised, only eating less will be ridiculed.

In the banquet, the only one who can't be happy may be Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Sheng had been looking at Zhao Kuo all the time, and found that he was a little unhappy, so he asked again: "Ma Fuzi?" Am I not being well treated? Why do you sigh? Zhao Kuo hurriedly stood up and said: "Actually, I came to see you this time, I want to ask you to help me do something, I am not talented enough, and I have no reputation, before my father died, he said that you are kind and charitable, you can love people, and you will help people who ask for you, and I told me that I can ask you for help if I have something, and said that with you, I don't have to worry about not being able to complete what I want to accomplish." ”

Zhao Sheng was in high spirits, his expression was also solemn, and he said: "What Ma Fujun said is right, it's like this, please say it, no matter what it is, I will definitely help." ”

Zhao Kuo already knew what kind of person Zhao Sheng was at this moment, he didn't pull any family and country flags, he just said respectfully: "That's the case, I want to borrow some food from those noble people in Zhao Kingdom, I went to visit them personally, but because my reputation is not enough, I don't get their attention, I still want to borrow some food from various countries, but because I don't have any friends, I can't borrow it." ”

Zhao Sheng was stunned for a moment, and didn't ask him what he wanted food for, and said indifferently: "It's not a difficult thing, I can give you as much food as you want." ”

"I want to borrow 800,000 stone millet, 10,000 poultry, 6,000 sheep, and 1,000 pigs."

"Peng~~", the wine cup in Zhao Sheng's hand fell to the ground, his eyes widened, he looked at Zhao Kuo on the side, and asked, "You... How much do you want to borrow? For a while, the whole banquet was silent, and Zhao Sheng's guests were also dumbfounded, not to mention them, it was Li Yu, and he couldn't close his mouth at the moment, you know, at this time, in the most harvest season, Zhao Guo can only produce six stone millet per mu per year, and usually one stone per mu, and now in such a situation, it is already very good to be able to produce seven buckets.

Zhao Kuo's face was very calm, and he said indifferently: "800,000 stone millet, 10,000 poultry, 6,000 sheep, and 1,000 pigs." ”

Zhao Sheng looked at him blankly, thought for a long time, and then said, "Isn't this a bit too much.... What do you want so much food for? ”

"I agreed to General Lian Po to send him food, General Lian Po said, today today, no one can do this, I told him, there is only one person in the world who can get so much food, that is Pingyuan Jun, as long as Pingyuan Jun is willing, don't say anything about 800,000 stones, that is, 1.8 million, he can definitely take it! This is something I'm asking of you. Zhao Kuo said excitedly.

Zhao Sheng was silent for a moment and looked at the few doormen around him.

Zhao Kuo suddenly walked in front of Zhao Sheng, and said with some displeasure: "I heard that Pingyuanjun can help others, so I came to ask for your help, if you don't want to, please let me leave, and I will find someone else to help." ”

"How dare you be rude to Pingyuan-kun! Pingyuan Jun has always been kind and charitable, how can you be so insulted?! As soon as Zhao Kuo finished speaking, a guest from Pingyuanjun jumped out and reprimanded, Zhao Kuo hurriedly looked at him in fear and said, "What you said is very right, I underestimated Pingyuanjun, how could Pingyuanjun not want to?" When the guest heard this, he nodded proudly and proudly, with a smile on his face.

Pingyuan-kun wanted to strangle this doorman at the moment.

800,000 stone millet, where can I get it for him??!

He said with some embarrassment: "It's not that I don't want to, it's just that you need too much food, and I can take out all the food stored at home for you, but I don't know if I can reach the amount you want." Zhao Kuo suddenly understood in his heart that this guy was unwilling to give, how much grain did he have at home, didn't he have the final say? Zhao Kuo asked with some confusion: "I heard that the people you have befriended are some well-known talents in the world, you love them, and they respect you, don't they want to lend you food?" ”

"Not really..."

"What kind of friends have you made? Friends who are not willing to help you at this time will definitely not be born and die with you in the future, please recognize them, and these doormen of yours, who enjoy the wealth you give on weekdays, but do not say a word at the moment, such doormen, can not solve the confusion for the lord, what is the use of coming? ”

"You!!" At this moment, there were already a few doormen who couldn't help it, stood up one after another, and shouted: "I am willing to send all the corn from my house!" ”

"Me too!!"

"Let's go!"

Seeing the excited appearance of the doormen, Zhao Kuo was shocked again, and muttered: "I thought that the doormen of Pingyuanjun were all selfish villains, but I didn't expect that there would be such righteous people, Li Yu, you will collect the corn they sent later and register it!" lest there be villains mixed in with these gentlemen! Li Yu, who was sitting not far away, hurriedly got up and said, "I know." ”

Zhao Kuo looked at Zhao Sheng at this time, leaned over and bowed, and said: "Then I will thank you for your help, I will bring your food back this time, if it is your real friend, you will definitely send the food to me, if it is just a person who pretends to be friends with you, but refuses to help, please be more vigilant, do not have deep friendships with such people." ”

Zhao Sheng's face twitched, but he was speechless.

"By the way, there is one more thing, I also want to ask for your help, I have only brought a cart with me, can you lend me some carriages so that I can transport corn?"

Zhao Sheng's whole body trembled.
