Chapter 18 Pickled Worm Jackals, Where Do You Get the Courage?

Soon it was time for dinner, and everyone was in front of them with a hot meal brought out of the imperial dining room.

Zheng Xiu and the ones who carried the people had also finished the transaction at this time.

At this time, although Zheng Xiu was covered in dust and there were still a few footprints on his clothes, he also sat behind the eating table.

Yes, this is not the same for the minister as it is for the prisoners of the prison.

Zheng Xiu thought as he looked at the dishes on the dining table.

Ingot chicken, Bazhen duck, steamed fish, pagoda meat, and even a pot of aging.

You must know that Zheng Xiu has not eaten anything since he got out of the prison, and he has insisted on being hungry until now.

Now he naturally doesn't care about other people's eyes, and directly picks up a chicken leg and starts nibbling.

A few minutes passed, and a chicken that was originally good was eaten in an instant, and only the bones were left.

It's a stark contrast to the others.

After all, most of the civil officials of Great Xia still have the habit of never getting tired of eating when they eat.

Generally, they are very elegant, even the lowest officials will not eat so tastelessly.

As for the nobles on the side, they didn't bother to eat these at all, if it weren't for the empress's face, they wouldn't even move their chopsticks.

What should I do if a bunch of chickens and ducks are eaten in my mouth and then held by stones?

However, the generals don't have so many rules, and the speed of eating is about the same as Zheng Xiu's, but the food is not as clean as Zheng Xiu's.

Because they watched the duck on Zheng Xiu's case, disappearing after a few minutes.

Fish, only one bone remains.

meat, Zheng Xiu can't wait to lick the plate clean.

As for the pot of wine, Zheng Xiu drank it directly in one go.

Zheng Xiu eats quickly, and his movements are not small, plus he is already being watched by many people now.

So the gaze condensed on him naturally became more and more, and even the empress noticed his current appearance.

It's just that Zheng Xiu didn't have that consciousness, and he still had no image of a fish bone with only a big thorn left.

"Zheng Aiqing hasn't eaten enough? If Aiqing is not full, I will let them make some more. ”

"Well, I haven't eaten anything so delicious since I came."

Zheng Xiu's rough words made the empress's face twitch, what do you mean since you came over?

Is it after you are in prison, or since you become an official?

The other officials love to ignore it, but you Zheng Xiugao can't climb it?

"Come on, add food to Zheng Aiqing, and add it until he can't eat!"

After the empress finished speaking, someone immediately began to give Zheng Xiubu vegetables.

This time, the dishes are obviously better than before, the portions are larger, and the taste is better, and it looks like it has been upgraded to a higher level.

After Zheng Xiu saw these dishes, he was not polite to others, and just picked them up and ate them.

Before, when his body was strengthened by Wen Qi, he also had to consume energy.

Although the general baptism of culture can make people's memory stronger, think faster, and have stronger beliefs, it will not affect the body.

The reason why Zheng Xiu's body can be strengthened is related to the strengthening of the system.

If the system gives you a level, it doesn't mean that you will be upgraded there.

Instead, it will help you repair all the damage from the dark.

Zheng Xiu's foundation was not good before, and his body was still relatively thin, and he often lost some of his literary qi after entering his body.

So the system directly made up for those dark injuries, and it was directly made up to the strongest state.

This is also the reason why Zheng Xiu was not tired at all when he was just fighting.

If this kind of thing is known to other martial arts practitioners, it is indispensable to envy it.

Because that kind of body is already the most suitable body for cultivation, whether it is practicing martial arts, cultivating immortals, or entering demons, it will all get twice the result with half the effort.

But then again, energy doesn't come into thin air and doesn't disappear out of thin air.

At that time, Zheng Xiu didn't feel uncomfortable because Zheng Xiu's deficit in "discomfort" was also forcibly made up by the system.

It is probably the faucet above the pool that is draining water, but the lid at the bottom is not plugged, although there is water in the pool all the time, but sooner or later it will run dry.

Now the body absorbs it as soon as it discovers a source of energy, like a pool that has not been plugged has found a stopper.

began to use these energies from food to replenish his deficit, which caused Zheng Xiu to be in a state of not having enough to eat.

As Zheng Xiu had more and more plates in front of him, some people began to gradually put down their chopsticks.

I can't eat it anyway, so it's better to watch people eat it.

Wait until you have an appetite to take a bite, and after you find that it is not so delicious, you will continue to watch, and then you will find that it is not delicious, and then you will repeat it.

And Zheng Xiu was also immersed in the taste of food, so he didn't care about the people around him at all.

While absorbing energy, you can enjoy delicious food, and you can even feel your body being perfected little by little.

It's a good thing to kill three birds with one stone.

You must know that although Zheng Xiu has not counted how much money he has saved in the original body, it is not easy to live in Beijing.

With that tattered little courtyard, Zheng Xiu knew that the money saved by the original body might not be able to let him eat openly.

And the empress banqueting the ministers is not a chance for everyone to meet, and it is not good to say that there is no such shop in this village.

Hold the mentality that you can eat as much as you can, and you won't be hungry for three days after eating a full meal.

Zheng Xiu was stunned and ate for an hour before finishing the meal.

And by the time he finished eating, those civil officials didn't want to eat at all.

Originally, it was quite uncomfortable to think that I was eating a severed head meal.

When I saw them, not only had they been eating, but they were still eating with relish, and they felt uncomfortable, and the more they looked at them, the more uncomfortable they became.

One of them, a man named Hatokawa, couldn't help it, so he also read a poem with emotion.

"There is no turning back when you open the bow, and it is difficult to recover from the splashing of water."

"I knew that there was a time today, so why did I do it in the first place."

The poem caused a slight shock in the literary tone, but it was just a county-level poem.

Seeing this scene, the official did not feel surprised or ashamed, but slowly stood up.

"Don't be complacent with your surname Zheng, when I was your age, I was no worse than you are now."

"You have the emperor who is willing to support you, you have the ability to stand up for yourself, and you have outstanding ability, I look at you now like I was looking at myself ten years ago."

"But I tell you, you have nothing to be proud of, and in another ten years, it will be at that moment and now."

Before the man could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the empress.

"Enough, you stupid worm and jackal, you also deserve to be compared to Zheng Xiu?"

"At that time, the emperor saw that you were brilliant in writing, talked eloquently, and made two poems in Mingzhou every day, thinking that you were capable, and asked you three times before and after."

"The first locust plague, you said that according to the ancient law, sacrifice to the locust god and get forgiveness, and the locust plague will fade away. The emperor is not allowed! ”

"The second drought, you said that according to the ancient law, you said to sacrifice to the god of water, get forgiveness, and the drought will fade by itself, and the emperor will not allow it!"

"The third time the grain was not harvested, the first emperor sent you for disaster relief, in order to return to Beijing as soon as possible, you distributed disaster relief silver along the way, the temple sent 800, the Taoist temple sent 1,000, after arriving in the disaster area, only half of the silver used for disaster relief was left, and you said it was enough."

Look at these ridiculous things you have done, the first emperor gave you three chances, is it for you to use to pretend to be a god!
