Chapter 112 crying poor

Night slowly fell, but the lights were bright in the prefect of Wancheng.

General Lu Bu, the owner of the new Wancheng, was going to host a banquet for the gentry in Lujiang.

After a while, the Lujiang gentry arrived, and they exchanged greetings but none of them took the initiative to say hello to the host here.

Lu Bu was too lazy to pay attention to these people. There were a lot of delicacies on the table. Seeing that the people coming were almost the same, he was ready to start the meal.

"Everyone, you must know what Bu wants you to come here!" Lu Bu said straight to the point. "Food and grass, Bu's Bingzhou Army guarded one of our Han Chinese herds. We should not disturb you, but Bu's Bingzhou Army's food and grass are already insufficient, so I would like to ask everyone here to help you!"

As soon as Lu Bu opened his mouth, someone answered the conversation, "Where, where! General Lu came to benefit the country, and the general had no food and supplies. We have also heard that he should have generously donated money to help me, the strong army of the Han Dynasty! However, "the head of the Wang family, who spoke, looked very embarrassed. "In this chaotic world, people's livelihood has withered and it is difficult to sustain. Just say that my Wang family has already dismissed most of the slaves and can only eat enough. He is really powerless to help each other!"

The head of the Wang family is definitely an acting player. Sometimes he regrets, sometimes he is sad and angry, sometimes frowning, and finally he gritted his teeth and said, "Stop it! General Lu and his Bingzhou Army sacrificed their lives to benefit the people of Lujiang. How can the soldiers have no food and grass? I, Mr. Wang, can't starve to death even if I have hungry for a few days. General Lu, I am willing to offer twenty stones of food and grass to support the soldiers!"

Twenty stones?! A glimmer flashed in Lu Bu's eyes, and his fist sitting under the main seat was unconsciously pinched.

Twenty stones may be a family of ordinary people for a year or even a half years of food, but for these gentry, they eat more than twenty stones in a meal. Perhaps a delicious dish can cost ten thousand yuan or even a few gold.

Now I use twenty stones, I am trying to get a beggar!

"Yes, yes, the world is in a cold and chaotic world is not easy to live! But the generals must not be hungry. My Li family will pay thirty stones, and it will be dieted if you are hungry for a few days!" Another gentry patriarch made his statement.

Thirty stones? Lu Bu's murderous intent became deeper.

"General Lu has worked hard and made great contributions. Even if I sell the money, I will still need to support General Lu! I will pay ten stones!"

If you sell the pot and sell it, you can sell it ten stones?!

"I paid fifty stones. I originally planned to buy a fat pig to go back to see the oil and water. Now General Lu is in trouble. We must not help!"

Unlike everyone's words, the heads of Zhou, Chen and Liu families did not say a word.

"I'll pay two hundred stones!" The head of the Liu family spoke.

"Two hundred stones? Brother Liu, you're crazy!" Someone next to him pretended not to believe, "You paid two hundred stones, how can your family start a family and survive!"

"It's okay, it's okay, just change two meals a day to one meal! No matter what, you can't starve the soldiers!"

"Yes, yes. When General Sun was there, we couldn't help our generals. Now we can serve the country. Even if we don't eat or drink, what's the point of!" This was Chen Yao's voice. There was something in his words. What does General Sun have no chance to serve when he was there? This is a satirizing Lu Bu!

Lu Bu felt that he could not help it. The people in front of him and the gentry in front of him controlled 80% of the wealth of the entire Lujiang River. Their fertile land under them was still crying in front of Lu Bu. If they couldn't eat enough, then there would be no one in the world who would not be starved to death.

Lu Bu took a deep breath and he was really afraid that he could not help but kill them with a knife. "It's not good to blame cloth for this. I don't know that you are so embarrassed. These delicious dishes are too fierce and extravagant. It's too extravagant. I don't know how much folk fat and ointment I ate for this meal."

"Yes, yes! This meal may be worth half a year for my family!"

"You can't be extravagant. If you can eat enough, you will be a great blessing!" These heads of the family looked at Lu Bu while talking, and actually laughed at him.

You want us to donate food and grass! OK, we donated it to you for more than ten or twenty stones of grain. It’s not that we don’t want to donate too much. It’s because we are also “poor”. Look, I have given you all the money for food.

"People come and take them all down for me! The world is so cold, we should not waste it. Eating these people's fat and ointment will make you feel heartbroken! Serve the dishes again!" Lu Bu sneered at the corner of his mouth, pretend, you continue to pretend.

One dish, two dishes, each dish, the tribes below frowned.

Three dishes and one soup, two vegetarian dishes and one meat. Vegetarian dishes are made of wild vegetables in the wild. The meat dishes are just a few pieces of large fat meat and some wild mushrooms. There are even pig hairs on the fat meat.

These pampered men made their stomachs roll and they didn't have the leisure to eat.

Let’s talk about this rice, it’s even more yellow. The white rice is hard to find, mixed with bran, millet shells, and even small stones.

A patriarch of a clan who picked up the bowl of rice could even find the cooked rice insects. Is this what humans eat?

"Why? Are you not hungry?!" Lu Bu moved his chopsticks first. Those things that were not human beings seemed to be eaten by Lu Bu, but they were eaten with relish.

Seeing that everyone below did not move their chopsticks, Lu Bu sneered in his heart and said, "Sorry, our army's food and grass are insufficient. I originally wanted to help you, but who would have thought that you were embarrassed in this chaotic world, so you are so simple. I hope you can understand!" Lu Bu borrowed food and grass from these gentry families, and they all said that life was not easy and there was no food left at home. However, for the sake of the army, they would rather grit their teeth and squeeze out dozens of stones.

It's very sensational, but it's actually crying for poverty.

"Understand understand!" Those who understand are those who cry poor.

"This is already a delicious dish. You can't eat it so well at home! Look, there is still meat!"

"Come on, everyone here is the mainstay of the Lujiang River. Without you, there would be no entire Lujiang River. Bu takes my Bingzhou Army toast you with a glass!" Lu Bu picked up the wine glass and toasted to the heads and patriarchs below.

Lu Bu is the current master of Wancheng, and his official position is also General Pingdong. He also has a Xuzhou master hanging on him. Everyone below looked down on Lu Bu and did not dare to be too much about his etiquette, so they all picked up the wine glasses one by one and asked to return the gift.

The wine turned green in one mouthful. The wine was sour. The wine that should have been clear became turbid.

"Ahem!" An older patriarch was even choked by the wine and spit out small stones from his mouth from time to time.

Lu Bu had already sipped his glass in one go. These people had to give him face and just endure the pain and drank the glass.

"Everyone, Bu is just here, and I still need your support in the future. Bu is here to pay tribute to everyone!" Lu Bu took another drink.

Still have to drink? The patriarchs and the heads of the family below were anxious. Can they drink this wine? It is a forced one drink, and drinking two drinks is a fatal death.

"What's wrong? You guys, this drink is not right!" Lu Bu asked as he looked at the ugly heads of the clan leader below.

It’s not that alcohol is not good for your appetite, but that it’s not something that people drink at all. I think so in my heart but don’t say that in my mouth.

"General Lu, it's not that drinking is not good for his appetite, but that he can't beat alcohol, but that he can't beat alcohol!" A head of the family stood up and said.

"I can't bear to drink? I've only had two glasses, oh, I know that it's because I don't have food in my stomach, so I can't bear to drink! Come on, eat some food so that I can drink!" Lu Bu said as he asked the maid beside him to pick up food for the head of the talker.

Either it was wild vegetables, mushrooms, or the fat meat with pig hair, which made the head of the family eat with bitterness.

"Come and drink again!" Lu Bu raised his wine glass again. The head of the family was learning his lesson. He couldn't say that he wanted to eat the pig food. Compared to those difficult meals to swallow, the wine was already considered good.

Lu Bu was toasting all the time, and the heads and patriarchs below were drinking the sour wine with a sad face.

"Master Chen, why don't he move his chopsticks? Does Master Chen dislike these foods?!" If these gentry said, these dishes are the best they can eat. If you say you dislike them, you slapped yourself in the face!

"It's not that you dislike it, it's true. I've been suffering from stomach problems recently and I can only drink porridge. Such delicious food is not lucky to enjoy it!" It's better to kill him than to let him eat these things! How can humans eat this? Even their dogs don't eat these things.

"Drinking porridge?" Lu Bu glanced at Chen Yao. The one who mocked him the most fiercely was him. He told you to stop eating if you have a bad stomach.

"Master Chen, why didn't you say it earlier? Let Bu prepare it for you earlier!" Lu Bu complained.

"No need to worry, no need to worry!" Chen Yao breathed a sigh of relief without eating this kind of food.

There were even several people next to me who complained that they had stomach discomfort and could only drink porridge.

"Haha, fortunately, Bu likes to drink porridge at night, so he cooked a little, so naturally the head of Chen family cannot eat, so let's give my porridge to the head of Chen family! Someone comes to serve the porridge!"

Is this porridge?! Chen Yao's mouth was twitching. The porridge he remembered should be made of fine rice, and added lotus seeds, wolfberry honey juice and ginseng slices. This can be considered a bowl of porridge.

And what exactly is the yellow and black one in front of you who can’t see a grain of white rice? Are those green ones grass? There is even something moving next to the bowl? Rice insects?

"Come on, I'll serve you all bad stomachs! Don't choke if you drink it carefully!"

There was a dinner until a messenger ran in and knelt down at Lu Bu, trying to say something, but when everyone present saw that they predicted it.

"If you have anything to say, just say it. Everyone present here is the mainstay of Lujiang!"

"Report to the lord that the newly obtained grain and grass have been put into the warehouse, but the grain warehouse is full, and there are still four thousand stones left. Lord Chen Gong asked the lord what to do with it!"

PS: It’s really hard to write historical texts! The plot scenes and even backgrounds need to be thought about carefully! I’ve been going to bed late these two days after having guns! I’m thinking! I was still typing at 3:30 yesterday! I’m so tired today! I’m sorry, everyone can only go over two updates.
