"What else can I do, kill them all!" Zhang Rui said with a relaxed face

"Listen to what the sixth brother means, is there a plan?" Old Man Zhou was a little stunned.

"It's not a plan to deal with the bandits in this area. Naturally, there is a way to clean them up! Then Zhang Rui changed the topic and said: "The old man just said that he was waiting for me here, what will you do if I don't come?" ”

"If you don't come, I'll leave tomorrow morning with the whole family. Don't decide if you want to come back until the whole thing is over. Old Man Zhou said resolutely.

Looking at this old man Zhou Bing, Zhang Rui felt that he was a little out of character. Sometimes it's very upright, sometimes it's very tactful, and it can be seen that he is also a person with a story.

"Can the old man go to dinner that week?" Zhang Rui asked after answering.

"Let's go, as you said, even if we don't eat, they won't think we didn't eat. Since the charges have been borne by you, why don't you eat it, can't you save it for your sixth brother? Zhou Bing said jokingly

"How dare you let the old man call me my sixth brother and call me a dog." Only then did he notice that Zhou Bing called Zhang Rui, who was calling him, hurriedly confessed

"No, the name dog isn't for you. I don't know if you have a name. Zhou Bing said as a matter of course

"Yes, the family teacher named Zhang Rui for the next, which means auspicious."

"Zhang Rui, a good name."

……

The two chatted and walked out of the door.

"Daddy..."

"Grandpa..."

"Old Man Zhou"

……

"I'm sorry, folks, let everyone delay so much time for me, an old guy who doesn't repair much!" Zhou Bing apologized apologetically to the people who came over.

"The old man is polite, if I hadn't seen the pots of meat with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. I still want to thank you Sixth Brother! ”

"It's, it's..."

……

Zhang Rui was speechless about the title of Sixth Brother, no matter how much he corrected it, it was useless, and he could only let it go.

"The old man finally agreed to go to dinner." Zhou Tong and Zhou Tie's hanging hearts could finally be put down, and the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family happily took the children to the Li Mansion happily.

"It's time to eat, sixth brother, let's eat together!" It turned out that the banquet had been prepared, and the people over there had come to eat with them.

……

There are only about 30 households in the village, and there are less than 200 children. After all, in this era, there is not enough real estate. If you have more children, you may not be able to afford it, so the population will not be too large.

Originally, children were not counted as a drinking seat, but Zhang Rui still let every child have a seat. This made the children very happy, and also made the villagers feel Zhang Rui's generosity and boldness.

Counting all the villagers, plus the people of the Li Mansion and the master and workers who cooked, there were only about twenty-two tables for a table of ten people. Fortunately, these tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks were all brought by the cooking master, otherwise Li Mansion would not have so many pots and pans, tables, chairs and benches, which is why they are worth five taels. Fortunately, the area of the Li Mansion is large enough, and it is also placed down.

There are twelve dishes and one soup at each table.

A large plate of white-cut chicken, duck with soy sauce, roast goose, braised fish, meatballs, egg rolls, large pots of vermicelli pork, fried garlic with pork belly, fried celery with lean meat, braised tofu, fried vegetables in oil and a large piece of meat per person. A large pot of chicken, duck and pork soup. Looking at the oil layer floating on it, the hungry people watched their appetite increase, and they longed to drink three or five bowls of it. There is also a bottle of wine on each table.

Zhang Rui sat at the same table with Steward Li, Li Si's family and Zhou Bing.

At this time, everyone who was already in place looked at Zhang Rui's side. Under the reminder of Steward Li, Zhang Rui realized that they were waiting for him to say a few words before starting the meal.

"Folks, I Zhang Liu don't have anything special to say, first of all, I would like to thank Steward Li for giving such a venue and providing ingredients, and thank you again for making so much delicious food so quickly, of course, many of our enthusiastic folks for helping. And Brother Chen Liu, if he hadn't run faster, we wouldn't have had to eat now! Let us give them a round of applause to express our gratitude. ”

After listening to Zhang Rui's words, everyone laughed, and they didn't understand what this warm applause meant, but they all followed Zhang Rui's example and clapped when they saw Zhang Rui's "popping".

The bursts of applause made the people named by Zhang Rui feel inexplicably excited, and this was the sense of honor that they couldn't understand. It's the same feeling as when I was a kid when I was praised by my teacher in class.

"Okay, I won't say much, everyone has a bowl, for them, for the better days to come, do it."

So he who drank wine was full of wine, and did not drink a full bowl of soup. Grunt and drink it all.

"Then let's eat together with chopsticks!"

After listening to Zhang Rui's words, none of the people at each table could talk politely, and they all ate vegetables desperately like hungry ghosts reincarnated. Even if it's your family members who are sitting, what if you don't eat faster, you won't be able to eat such a delicious meal in the future.

So everyone was still eating chicken in their mouths, pork in their chopsticks, and a piece of goose meat in their left hand, and the food that had not yet been chewed in their mouths was sent down with a sip of wine or soup. Some children can't eat and cry and ask their mothers to add vegetables.

Many people can't remember how long they haven't eaten meat, and even many people only remember that they can only eat meat for a good year since they were sensible, otherwise it would be good to touch more oil at ordinary times. Dishes with plenty of oil and water and enough saltiness are not so easy to eat, which makes many people want to lick the leftover vegetable juice clean.

The dinner lasted more than two hours, and it was completely dark. Steward Li also ordered people to light lanterns and light torches, but fortunately, there are relatively few people with night blindness in this village, so the impact is not great.

When the dinner was almost over, the villagers went back to get pots and pans to share the meat, meatballs, and egg rolls that they were reluctant to eat, and even they didn't even let go of vegetable juice and rice soup. Nothing is left, everything is clean.

Because the dinner was late, Zhang Rui did not distribute rice rations, but asked the villagers to come back tomorrow morning to receive rice. The villagers believed Zhang Rui's words, so after thanking Zhang Rui one by one, they touched their round stomachs and led their families home to rest.

Since ancient times, if Zhang Rui didn't do anything, the villagers would naturally not say anything, but they couldn't talk about gratitude, even if Zhang Rui helped them go into debt. And if you simply give them some silver, you can only get their temporary gratitude. What could be more memorable than a table full of wine and meat for the hungry? And all night long, I thought that I would be able to receive food for free tomorrow, a good thing that I had never encountered in my life.

Sure enough, the rumors are all true, and the sixth brother is the one sent by the gods of heaven to save our poor family. Otherwise, how can you explain his ability? Eat well with the sixth brother, this is really not wrong.
