Chapter Fifty-Nine: This Is a Fine Chinese Tradition

Heaven?

Elder Lu tasted the mellow tea, and the fragrance of the tea soaked into his heart, as if he really felt heaven at this moment.

Zhang Zhen said to Han Xiang: "Tell Steward Hu to serve the food." ”

Hanka nodded and walked to the inn's kitchen.

Elder Lu, who was still immersed in the fragrance of tea, looked up and found that Steward Hu came up with a monkey with a dish, and he could smell the smell from a distance that was almost forgotten, not to mention the simple pork roasted potatoes, yellow stewed chicken, and stir-fried vegetables with radish and cabbage that would make people cry at a glance, which made the old man's whole person feel trembling.

Han Long stared straight at his eyes, and he didn't even know that the saliva was flowing out of his mouth.

Lao Hu put the dishes on the table, picked up the rice brought by Li Langlang from the back and put it over, and Han Xiang brought the tableware.

Elder Lu looked at the food in front of him in disbelief, his eyes and nose told his body and brain that this was the pre-apocalyptic life he thought about day and night, but he was horrified in his heart that this must be a dream, and after the outbreak of the apocalypse, he had never eaten such an ordinary food that everyone wanted the most, it was a kind of intense nostalgia and longing for the pre-apocalyptic life.

He grunted, his eyes were excited, and he looked at Zhang Zhen with a little distrust.

Zhang Zhen picked up chopsticks and picked a piece of crispy meat from the stewed chicken and fed it to his mouth, and then grabbed a chopstick potato and ate it, then shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you poison such delicious food, you are really guilty." ”

Han Long had already wanted to stretch out his chopsticks, so he wouldn't consider whether there was poison in them, and if there was, he would eat them, but if Elder Lu didn't move, he didn't dare to move.

Elder Lu nodded, indeed, if you poison this rare food as well, it would be too bad, there are thousands of ways to kill people in the last days, why waste such precious food.

He picked up the chopsticks, holding the green cabbage with a little trembling in his hand, and protecting the vegetables with the other hand for fear of the vegetables falling, he fed them in his mouth excitedly, biting his eyes and moistening them.

Zhang Zhen got up and left the old man without noticing, when he tasted all the dishes and was about to show gratitude to Zhang Zhen, only to find that Zhang Zhen was no longer there.

He looked at Steward Hu in surprise and said, "Steward Hu, where are you city lords?" ”

Hu Haidao: "The city lord went back to rest, and ordered me to take care of the elders, and also prepared food for the elders' warriors, and the elders can let the warriors come in to dine at any time." ”

Elder Lu was vigilant again at this time, he had already seen the pots of pork stewed cabbage on the table, this used to be his favorite home-cooked dish, and in the last days, this was a food that people could exchange their lives for.

He was thinking that his food might not be poisonous, but if those soldiers had it, the soldiers who entered the city would not be wiped out, and it was even more strange how Zhang Zhen was willing to use such a valuable food to entertain ordinary soldiers other than him so generously.

Han Long was just immersed in eating at this time, and he didn't care about anything else at all.

Elder Lu frowned and said coldly, "Don't eat, go and call the soldiers to come in and eat." ”

Han Long was stunned, immediately nodded with joy on his face, chewed the chicken bone in his mouth and ran out.

Although there is not much loss for Zhang Zhen to be so generous, it is very necessary to do so, he is a businessman, and people in the last days only have two thoughts about him, one is to plunder and control, and the other is to be jealous, if you don't create a good reputation, it is difficult to make the business bigger quickly.

As long as people enter the city can enjoy food that they dare not ask for in their lives, this practice will make his reputation spread quickly, and most people will have a good impression of him because of it, which can actually disintegrate the hostility and plundering intentions of other forces against him from within, Han Long is an example.

Zhang Zhen didn't go over in the evening, but just asked Lao Hu to bring cigarettes and a bottle of wine, and stir-fried a dish and made a cold dish for Elder Lu.

Elder Lu drank a little wine and smoked a pure taste, he couldn't understand what Zhang Zhen was thinking about what kind of person he was, the food was not poisonous was certain, because all the soldiers were lying in the inn at this time to rest.

He is not a stingy and greedy person, so Han Long is also fortunate to be able to drink wine and eat side dishes together, Han Long couldn't help but say: "Elder, I just said, the king of the wasteland is not an ordinary person, he is very sincere, this is not a problem for us to change our food for a chariot, it is too generous." ”

Elder Lu's face was slightly gloomy, "You are like a fool who was bought by a meal, and now you actually call him the king of the wasteland!" ”

Han Long stopped his chopsticks in embarrassment, and said a little nervously: "I'm a little stupid, but he killed the Zombie King, although he occupied Bafang Town, it is no good for us to start a war now, there is a ruin left in Bafang Town, it is nothing to let him be the king of the wasteland, we can exchange more materials, and each transaction will get more than several times more than what Bafang Town can contribute to us." ”

Elder Lu shook his head and lazily talked to Han Long again, admitting that the King of the Wasteland was not a ruined town for the Four Seas Kingdom, but reputation and prestige.

Zhang Zhen killed the black crow and occupied Bafang Town, and this Longyuan City was still built by the Four Seas Kingdom, and now directly admits that the other party is the king of the wasteland, which will greatly reduce the prestige of the Four Seas Kingdom in the last days, and other forces will think that the Four Seas Kingdom is very cowardly, which is not a good thing.

In the last days, prestige is too important, others are afraid of you, you can plunder more resources, because no one dares to fight you easily, so your strength will also be preserved and increased, which is why the stronger the force becomes stronger and stronger, and more and more domineering.

At nine o'clock the next morning, when Elder Lu was still guessing Zhang Zhen's thoughts, Hu Hai came over to invite him into the Tianzi District, Elder Lu hesitated for a while and decided to go in, if it was a trap, he would have stepped on the clamp a long time ago, and he didn't care about going deeper.

To his surprise, there was still a sumptuous feast waiting for him, this time there were some perfect appetizers such as fish and peanuts, and the wine was also very rich, beer, white wine, and red wine.

Elder Lu didn't take a seat right away, but stood up to face Zhang Zhen and said, "What are you thinking about treating me like this?" ”

Zhang Zhen spread his hands and said: "This is my habit, it is not a special treatment of Elder Lu, everyone who comes to my house as a guest, I will treat it like this, this is our fine tradition in China." ”

"The ...... of the fine tradition of China" Elder Lu muttered these words, his thoughts became chaotic, indeed, hospitality is the eternal tradition of the Chinese people, but after the end of the world, this tradition has disappeared, I didn't expect to hear it again fifty years later, and it feels like a different world.

"Sit down, isn't it our old habit to eat first and talk later?" Zhang Zhenao asked.

Han Long on the side didn't say anything, but he was already nodding excitedly, yes, this is Huaxia, oh no, it is an old habit of the king of the wasteland, and it is a very good habit.

Elder Lu shook his head, his eyes sharpened, and said, "If you want to rely on these to make me submit, this is impossible, you can't just kill the black crow and occupy Bafang Town, and you can still do nothing!" ”
