Chapter Twenty-Five: Dinner Again

Zhang Rui's words did not make a single person quit. On the contrary, it strengthened the determination of those present to stay.

In the eyes of everyone, whoever quits now is a fool. Regardless of whether you can pass the training or not, at least you will have a day's money for one day. This is 30 yuan and 2 catties of rice, and it is still included in food. It's not easy to have a full meal at this time, who is willing to quit at this time.

Zhang Rui waited for a long time, but no one proposed to withdraw, and no one raised any objections, so he announced that the assessment was officially over.

The whole assessment time took about an hour. At this time, it has entered the unitary time, the sun is slanting in the west, and the sky is already dusk.

At this moment, the people who can still stay on the scene and watch the entire assessment are not suspicious of the excitement, and the vast majority of them are related to the people who participated in the assessment, and the rest is to wait here to see if Zhang Rui is invited to dinner.

After all, it feels really uncomfortable to be hungry, and many people don't even have lunch to eat, and waiting here for this hour is really not an ordinary torment.

"Hungry Goo"

Zhang Rui's stomach also barked.

Sure enough, when the body is long, the stomach is particularly prone to hunger. After this noon, Zhang Rui also ate a meat bun with Li Niushi, you can think about what kind of hunger those half-grown children who haven't even eaten lunch are at this time.

"Will the sixth brother invite him to dinner again? …”

A lot of people are wondering

"Sixth Brother will definitely invite us to dinner..."

A lot of people are affirming

"Sixth brother, who is that, don't you want to think about it, the people who follow the sixth brother will have no food? …”

A lot of people are comforting

"I don't think I'm going to be invited to dinner! There are so many people, the sixth brother can't change so much food even if he goes to change food! …”

There are also people who sigh helplessly

………

Zhang Rui didn't know what everyone thought, but looking at the team members who had just passed the assessment who were looking at him at this time, his eyes were clearly saying that he was not invited to dinner! I'm so hungry.

"Well, in order to congratulate the 110 brothers who have passed the examination, I have decided to invite all of you present to dinner. Please congratulate them as well. Zhang Rui looked at everyone's expectant eyes and said loudly

"Oh......"

"Sixth brother, please eat!"

"Congratulations on passing the assessment, work hard to follow the sixth brother in the future..."

…………

There was cheering from below

Looking at the cheering crowd, Zhang Rui thought: "Fortunately, I bought grain, and I can put forward thirty stones, otherwise I really can't afford to consume it." These 30 stones are nearly 4,000 catties of grain, and no matter how little, there must be more than 3,600 catties. If I hadn't survived this time, it would have been worth it for the villagers to let them eat a full meal or two, and if they hadn't hung up, there would still be hundreds of stones of grain waiting for them, and there would be nothing to worry about. ”

"I'm going to spend a lot of money to build up your glory!" Zhang Rui looked at the team members who were being praised by many villagers and surrounded by envy

Then Zhang Rui gave Li Si a note for buying grain and lifting grain, and asked Li Si to take someone to Li Decai's granary to come out and ask for the thirty stone of grain.

When many people saw this situation, they hurriedly ran home, and there were also many people who gave various orders to those who rushed home, and they must call their own people, otherwise they will see you here and beat you once.

Seeing this posture, Zhang Rui didn't understand where he was calling friends to eat white food. Sure enough, the Chinese people are really "cute" with this kind of temperament. Originally, he was just thinking about inviting the people present to dinner, but now it seems that he has to invite people from three or four nearby villages to dinner.

"Hey, it seems that my thirty stone of grain can last for a month, and it's hard to say." Looking at this scene, Zhang Rui was so worried about the bandits that he couldn't help but sigh

Eating is never a matter of lip service, it has to be acted.

How can you just have food and no food?

The excitement came to Datong Village again.

Everyone followed Zhang Rui to the Li Mansion and the Huang Mansion, and after Zhang Rui and their housekeeper bought the vegetables they planted in the vegetable field on the edge of the river, they went to help pick the vegetables one by one without feeling tired and enthusiastically.

Zhang Rui still wanted to buy more meat, but the meat in the Li Mansion was almost exhausted yesterday, and the rest were some relatively small pigs, chickens and ducks, which were too cost-effective to eat. And Huangfu only has a few chickens and a not very big pig to sell. For this reason, Zhang Rui once again consumed several taels of silver to buy this meat and salt.

The dinner menu is relatively simple: bone vegetable soup, stewed soybeans with chicken and pork, green onion and fragrant tofu, fried garlic with fatty meat, and stir-fried vegetables in oil.

Big pot rice is always fun and lively. One by one, the stoves were built up in the open field, and the cooking and water were fast by the river. One by one, the villagers of Datong Village took out the firewood from their homes, and many villagers from neighboring villages went to the nearby mountains to collect firewood. Many unclothed children chased and played in the open space.

Wu Lei's Xiaobao is following his sister and the children in Datong Village are happily playing the game of "Mo Lang (not moving)". At this time, Wu Lishi, who was cooking rice (similar to porridge, helping to dry up cooked rice) with other village women, smiled happily and urged the children to be careful.

One by one, the water tanks used to hold rice and vegetables were carried in the villagers' homes, and a pair of dishes and chopsticks were passed from the homes of the villagers in Lifu, Huangfu, and Datong, as well as the homes of villagers in neighboring villages. No one worries that the water tank will be broken and the dishes and chopsticks will be lost, because they believe that there is a heroic and generous sixth brother, and they feel that they will not suffer.

There are many old people who say that the sixth brother is incomparable in benevolence and righteousness, which is the blessing of our villages. Most of them said that they had never seen such a feast since they were children. This is the "peaceful and prosperous era".

Many tenant farmers who have not eaten meat for a long time are making a fierce bet with others: they must eat a few bowls of rice, how many meat stewed soybeans they want to eat, and how many bowls of soup they want to drink, otherwise they will be sorry for their stomachs.

Datong Village is peaceful and lively.

The overgrown and dilapidated temple of the Great Emperor Huaguang in the distance was actually cleaned up at this time, and the incense burner, which had not seen incense for many years, was inserted into many incense sticks.

In the eyes of the villagers of Datong Village, it must be the appearance of Emperor Huaguang that made a figure like the sixth brother appear in his village. Such a good feng shui temple, how can you be worthy of yourself if you don't come to get some aura.

A breeze blew, and the dilapidated ornaments of the Taoist temple swayed in the wind. The temple with cigarettes was filled with smoke. It gives people the illusion that the statue of Emperor Huaguang sitting on the main hall of the temple at this time is looking at the river and smiling slightly.

……

Everyone is consciously helping to cook.

Zhang Rui asked Li Niushi to lead a group of young men to build a big bonfire in the open space by the river, saying that if dinner was late, everyone could watch the meal. Then I went home and went to sleep by myself, so I could sort out my brain's thoughts.

Li Niushi's words for Zhang Rui are implemented without discount.

A large firewood stack appeared in the middle of the clearing.
