"These people, don't look at the fact that they only have half a bowl of rice, in fact, they are here to eat more!" Old Zhong shook his head, pointed to the men who were holding huge sea bowls not far away, and said with a wry smile: "Young master, don't you know, it's good that these people can drink a bowl of vegetable porridge in the morning, and it's strange that they can eat enough!" ”

How can this half bowl of rice be less than a full bowl of rice? Zhang Yi is strange, only half a bowl of rice or is it to eat more?

Seeing that Zhang Yi didn't understand, Lao Zhong got acquainted with him: "The main reason for eating half a bowl of rice first is to eat quickly, and only after eating the bowl can you go to the pot and fill the second bowl!" ”

As the speaker was talking, a half-sized man had already finished eating the rice in the sea bowl, and as soon as he slipped away, he ran to the rice pot and happily took a spoon and stuffed the brown rice inside into his bowl, not only stuffing it but also pressing it down vigorously, until the sea bowl was piled up and could no longer fit it, and then he ran back to the stone slab with the broth and continued to eat with a bunch of people.

Zhang Yi's eyes were about to pop out, he thought that people couldn't eat half a bowl at all or out of politeness, but they were simply starving ghosts when he thought of them!

The big head sea bowl is still stuffed hard, aren't these bastards afraid to eat and hold on?

Just as he was about to ask Lao Zhong if there was not enough rice, many men who had finished the first bowl ran to the rice pot one after another to continue to add rice.

Although these people were cautious, Zhang Yi found that they all kept a rule, that is, everyone would definitely eat the last grain of rice in the bowl before they got up, from the old to the young and strong, and even women and children were no exception. There was only a small bite left in several bowls of the group of people squatting in front of them, but before they could finish eating, even if they wanted to get up, they still waited until they swallowed the last grain of rice in the bowl.

It's a good thing to follow the rules even if you can't afford to eat, and being able to stick to your heart proves that these people are good people, at least until they go bad.

"Young Master, did you see it? These people are shrewd! Later, if there is still food left in the pot, the women who cook will secretly bring the leftovers back to the people at home who can't go to work! ”

"Do we have any food left?" Zhang Yi asked suspiciously.

There was a big belly of sweat all over the ground, even the half-stretched hairy children ate more than Zhang Yi, he didn't believe that there would be leftover in the pot after these guys were full.

"Other people's families don't have it, but ours definitely does!" As he spoke, Lao Zhong's chest couldn't help but straighten up, and he said proudly: "Yesterday, the old lady explained that the rice must be full for the villagers, our family's rice is all white and clean brown rice double-steamed rice, and even the bran is not mixed with a little, you don't know that we are the first family in the entire Jingyang territory!" ”

Zhang Yi didn't expect that a sixty or seventy-year-old lady would have such a long vision, this is simply buying people's hearts!

What do the dealers want most? It's just a full stomach! Not to mention the young and strong, even those old men and old ladies who are trembling when they walk can come to the construction site to have a full stomach, this is benevolence! In the morning, he still wondered if even the half-grown children were so energetic in their work, it turned out that they were all for a full meal!

In this era, people's hearts are undoubtedly the best thing, because with people's hearts, as long as you have something, you can respond to everything.

Just like Liu Bang back then, he was just a pavilion chief who was born, but people rebelled because they had a good reputation for benevolence..... Of course, gossip is far away, but I have to say that once you have a heart, a good reputation is equivalent to opening a cheating plug-in, and it is very good.

Just watching others eat the rice in their own bowl is cold, because of the broth, a layer of lard is quickly condensed on it, and the rice bowl is thrown to Lao Zhong, there is no way to eat and it is good to be familiar with the environment.

Patting the dust on his buttocks, Zhang Yi was ready to observe from a distance how the women stole the leftover rice home.

Of course, steal. Peep. This kind of thing must be done quietly, if you know that the master of the family is preparing to arrest you for the current punishment, who would dare to do it?

It wasn't until the last pot-bellied man had taken the last bite of rice into his mouth and announced that he would not add any more rice that the women at the stove smiled. Then soon three of the women were running off into the distance, and one of the remaining women got up as if nothing had happened, and the rest began to get busy.

They first gathered the rice in each pot, then divided it into several rice balls according to the number of people, covered them with lids, and began to work to clean the surrounding area.

Soon the women who had gone to the woods came back with several huge lotus leaves, and then an old woman took out a large handful of grain grass from her pocket, wrapped the rice balls in the pot one by one, and distributed them to each woman.

However, just as the old woman was about to put her share into her chest, her face suddenly changed, and then the lotus leaf in her hand 'snapped!' It fell to the ground with a thud.

The lotus leaf bun was split in an instant, and the rice grains of white flowers were sprinkled all over the ground......

"Sir, I... We—" The old woman knelt down towards Zhang Yi with a plop, her mouth squeaking and she couldn't say a word for a long time.

Seeing the lord coming over, the other women were suddenly shocked, and they all felt that their faces were like earth like five thunders, and they knelt down one after another.

Stealing, definitely a derogatory term! In the criminal law, there are provisions that all thieves are not allowed to be flogged fifty times, sixty canes for one foot, one horse plus one class, five horses for one year, five horses plus one class, and fifty horses for servitude, which shows that the Tang Dynasty was strict on the crime of stealing! What's more, the thief is still a woman, so he will not abide by the woman's way, lose his virtue, and ruin his reputation for the rest of his life!

Such a woman, especially in the countryside, often has only one fate - divorce!

It is conceivable that after an elderly woman is divorced, her husband's family is not wanted, her mother's family is difficult to return, her relatives have no support, and she has to endure countless fingers and white eyes, and there is no way out of their lives except to end.

"It's a shame to waste food!" Seeing the rice grains on the ground, Zhang Yi's face quickly became gloomy, and he opened his mouth and scolded the old woman: "Why are you throwing good food on the ground? I see that you are also from a Zhuang family, and the so-called porridge and rice are not easy to come by; Half a thread and half a thread, the constant thought of material resources is difficult, although these are leftovers, don't you know to take home for the elderly and children to eat?

I don't know how to cherish the blessings when I live so old! If I let you see you throwing food next time, you won't need it anymore! ”
