There are two clay pots on the ground, one large pot holds boiled cabbage, with a little oil splashing on it, a few pieces of meat, and the other pot is brown rice, and two fried sparrows are placed on each person's rice bowl.

"Zhao Ren, you eat this every day?" Zhao asked.

"Second master, almost, sometimes it's turnips, but today there are more sparrows you gave!" Zhao Ren put down the bowl and stood up and said.

"Do you eat this every day?"

"Second master, when I was at home, I couldn't eat enough wheat rice every day, there are rice and vegetables, it's very good!" Zhao Li said with a smile.

"Yes, in the past winter, the house was full of pickles, and the vegetables in the house were still oily, and the rice was full!" Zhao Lian said.

"When my father was alive, he could still eat meat during the New Year's holidays, but after my father died in the northwest, his pension was only half of what he used to pay for, and he never ate meat again!" Zhao Yong said.

"See, bring my food over, let's eat together!" Zhao Ta twisted his face and said to Jianxi, he picked up another bowl and handed it to Zhao Xin and said, "Zhao Xin, you also serve me a bowl of rice!" ”

"Second master, how can you eat the same meal as us, this..." Zhao Ren said in fear.

"You don't know the way, I love to eat this, Zhao Xin, you pour me some vegetable soup, stir it and it's delicious!" Zhao Tan arched his arch, Zhao Li sat down cross-legged next to him, and said with a smile.

"Second master, your meal!" Jianxi brought Zhao Ta's rice, a plate of stewed mutton, a plate of fish bream, a plate of chicken, a plate of kimchi, and a soup.

"Put it together, everyone eat together!" Zhao Ta put the dishes in the center and said, he had lived in the army for more than ten years in his previous life, and the concept of equality between officers and soldiers could be said to have penetrated into his bones, and he was very uneasy when he saw the rough meals of the little guys, but now in such a hierarchical imperial society, it was impossible for him to change this status quo immediately.

"Second master, this... How can this work, how can we eat your food? The little guys were all panicked, and they were also surprised to see the joy, the emperor in the palace couldn't finish the meal, the emperor could reward the ministers and the prince, but it would not be distributed to the next person to eat, the prince could be said to have exceeded the limit by doing so.

"I can't eat so much, I'm sorry for the farmers who are farming, everyone shares the food, it's a favor for me!" Without waiting for Jianxi to admonish, Zhao Ta had already picked up a spoon and scooped the dishes and distributed them to everyone, "Zhao Xin, what are you crying about, and you Zhao Yi, why are there so many tears!" ”

"Second master, I haven't eaten such a good meal for a long time!" Zhao Li said with tears in his eyes.

"Second master, the little one has lost his relatives since he was a child, he has tasted the heat and coldness of the world, and he has never seen the master share his own food with his subordinates..." Zhao Yi lowered his head and wept and said, others are also sad, if the family lives, no one will sell their children to others as servants, what they are looking forward to is to have a good master.

"Hehe, what's this, you taste how our cook's rice is cooked, I eat it every day, and I can't eat it good or bad!" Zhao Ta's heart was sour, but he still said with a smile.

"Well, this chef's skills are good, but the fish is not from the slippery river, and the water in the fish meat is not dried, so the materials are added, and the meat is relatively loose, but it is also of the highest quality!" At this time, Zhao Xin took a piece of fish and put it in his mouth, chewed it, and said.

"Oh, there are really people who know how to eat, it looks like you used to eat a lot!" Zhao Ta has never eaten fish from other families, and there is no way to compare, but a person can eat which fish in the river, this is not something that ordinary people can do, he said with some surprise.

"Zhao Xin, just blow it, it's the first time I've eaten it when I'm so big, but I also know that the fish is not cheap, and you can still eat it well!" Zhao Lian pursed his lips and said disdainfully.

"You know what, my family... My house is next to He Wu's two shops that sell fish and bream, and you can often eat it! Zhao Xin said with a red face.

"Your kid is blessed, next to his house, the fish bream made by He Wu Erjia of Donghua Gate in Beijing, is made from fishing on the Lanhua River, stored in the thorn cage, soaked in water along the way and transported into the capital, cut into dozens of small pieces for a handful of sale, called "put the bream", the meat is tight and the taste is very beautiful, famous all over the world, so that there is a saying that "no one knows the bream". Seeing the joy and said enviously, it was not easy for him to eat a handful of his family's fish in the palace.

"Come, come, eat, when we are done, let's go to the open space behind the yard to catch hares, and I'll roast them for you to eat in the evening!" Zhao Tan glanced at Zhao Xin and said, Zhao Xin felt as if he had been seen through by the prince, so he lowered his head and slammed the rice with a weak heart, not daring to look at him again. ,

"Second master, I have been hunting in the mountains with my grandfather since I was a child, and I am good at catching rabbits, as long as I have it, I can't run!" Zhao Zhi said excitedly, there are a few teenagers who are not very lively, there are many rules in the house, this is not allowed, that is not good, it has long been suffocated, and when they heard this kind of good thing, they couldn't help cheering.

······

The sun has risen high, and there is still residual snow on the endless wheat fields, and green wheat seedlings are exposed in some places. A few days ago, they caught a few rabbits in the garden, everyone ate a mouthful of oil, this thing is also addictive to play, and it can't be caught in the garden.

"Zhao Zhi, is it okay to get the grid here?" He asked.

"No problem, second master, I've seen it all, here are the footprints left by the hare!" Zhao Zhi took a hot breath in his hand and said confidently.

"Alright, let's get started, drive the rabbits south from the north and let them crash into the net!" Zhao Ta said to everyone.

"Oh, oh..." More than a dozen people lined up in a line, stabbing and beating with sticks in the grass and in the cracks of the stones, while shouting loudly, five or six hares could not bear the harassment and rushed out of their hiding places, and everyone was even more energetic, blocking and driving the hares in the direction of the nets.

Seeing that the rabbit was about to be blasted into the encirclement, suddenly the air 'ding... After a series of bells, a black shadow swooped down from the air like an arrow, grabbed a hare, and the sudden change startled everyone.

"Second master, it's an eagle!" Zhao Ren said.

"Leave it alone, blast this way, and don't let the other rabbits run!" Seeing the eagle falling from the sky, the hare was even more frightened, scurrying everywhere, Zhao Ta hurriedly commanded everyone to prepare to seal the gap. But before they could run a few steps, two feathered arrows flew and nailed the two rabbits to the ground, and everyone panicked, and all the remaining rabbits slipped away.

"Young master, I shot..." With the sound of horses' ass, five or six horses rushed past them, and two people jumped down, one picked up the rabbit that was shot dead, and the other grabbed the harrier eagle that was still fighting with the rabbit, and snatched the rabbit from its mouth, as if they didn't see Zhao Ta and them at all.

Zhao Ta stood on his feet, looked at a few uninvited guests, led by a white and clean appearance, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, wearing a white fox fur hat, wearing a sauce purple brocade robe, a gold ribbon tied around his waist, draped in a red da, soap-colored official boots under his feet, inlaid with two pieces of egg-sized white jade, riding a red horse, carrying a bow on his left and an arrow on his right, looking like a noble son, just frowning and pouting to destroy a good appearance. The four people behind him were all dressed as bankers, also carrying bows and arrows, riding horses, and two pheasants hanging from their saddles!

"Young master, let's catch three of them at once, and we have snacks at noon!" A guy said with a smile while carrying a rabbit.

"It's not interesting, there's only rabbits here, no big prey!" The boy fed the eagle a piece of meat that had fallen on his arm, and said unhappily.

"Young master, twenty miles to the east, there is a forest there, there is big prey, let's not go there!" A banker asked with a smile.

"Forget it, we're tired today, let's go back to Zhuangzi first!" As soon as Childe flapped his arm, the eagle immediately flapped its wings and flew up, and he said lazily.

"Okay!" The leading dealer agreed, turned the horse's head and left.

"Stop, what are you doing, robbing our prey, and leaving without saying hello!" Several people treated them as if they didn't exist from beginning to end, Zhao Ta angrily bumped upwards and said unhappily.

"Huh, your prey?" A boy of seven or eight years old stopped in front of their horses, and the leading banker seemed to see what a funny thing it was, and said disdainfully.

"Of course, we people have been busy driving out the prey for a long time, and you have put two arrows here, which is yours, doesn't seem appropriate?" Zhao Ta said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Fuck off, you guys blasted out, whoever saw it, besides, these are ownerless things, whoever catches them is whoever catches them!" For the sake of convenience, Zhao Ta dressed no different from the little guys, and the leading Zhuang Ke only thought that he was someone's subordinate, and shouted angrily.

"Dare to be unreasonable to our second master, you are too bold!" Zhao Ren saw him scolding Zhao Ta, and stepped forward to point at the Zhuang Ke with a stick that bombarded the rabbit and shouted.

"Whose family are they, won't it be..." The boy frowned and asked the Zhuang Ke behind him, Xiangyi County is now one of the four auxiliaries, the land here is fertile, the Bianhe River passes through, the transportation is convenient, and many wealthy officials and gentry in the capital have come here to buy land and build manors, and he is also afraid of offending the characters who cannot be provoked.

"Young master, the Zhuangzi around here were originally the household servants, the first two years have been degraded, it is said that it was sold to a rich man from Beijing, there is no adult in the family, just for the child in charge, I don't think there is any backer, the old man is now shepherding one side, is it..." The leading Zhuang Ke is a local head snake, and he knows the situation here quite well, but Zhao Ta and they have always been low-key, he only sees the surface, but does not see the 'connotation'!

"There is a bastard who has no father and no father, dare to block the way of this young master, call me!" This young master didn't understand the situation and had some scruples, but after listening to the introduction, he immediately became bolder, shouted, the horse rushed forward, and the whip in his hand was pumped over, Zhao Ren dodged sideways, the whip was whipped on his back, and the cotton clothes were immediately broken, and the person was crooked twice, almost falling.

"Hit!" Zhao Yi saw that Zhao Ren had suffered a loss, and picked up the stone like a boy on a horse and smashed it, and the other people also hugged him, protected Zhao Ta behind him, and rushed forward with a wooden stick.

"It's the other way around, it's the other way around, what are you waiting for, fight!" Seeing that these children still dared to fight back, the brocade boy shouted angrily.
