Chapter 425 I won’t eat it even if I die!!!
Mr. Ba's expression froze for a moment, then he coughed violently and asked, "What are you looking at?"
"Eighth brother, you really don't want to eat? This opportunity is rare." Jiu Ye said. Little Fourth Sister-in-law didn't cook often, and now that she was pregnant, Fourth Brother didn't let her move around.
The Eighth Master's Adam's apple moved slightly, but he stiffened his neck and said, "I won't eat! I can control my mouth!"
He couldn't help grinding his teeth for a moment. He had eaten quite a lot in the morning, but for some reason, his stomach started to act like an empty city.
Looking at his fourth brother with a cold face in front of him, the Eighth Master gritted his teeth, but managed to hold it in, hugging his shoulders and turning his face away.
Seeing the look on Mr. Ba's face, everyone ignored him and just lowered their heads to eat their food.
Gurgle~
A louder cry suddenly rang out, and everyone turned their attention to Mr. Ba again.
The Eighth Master suddenly stood up and slammed the table: "I won't eat it even if I die, so stop trying to persuade me!"
Everyone: "..." Did they say they wanted to persuade?
A quarter of an hour later, Mr. Ba silently picked up the chopsticks beside him.
He just took a bite and it was definitely not because he was greedy for the taste of the dish!
As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. He just wanted to know what tricks his fourth brother was going to use.
Thinking of this, I felt more at ease and slowly extended my chopsticks.
He casually picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. Suddenly, Mr. Ba's face turned red and he coughed violently due to choking.
"What is this? It's so choking!!"
Mr. Ba stared at the basin in front of him in disbelief.
"My dear, didn't you say you didn't want to eat?" The Tenth Master looked at the Eighth Master in confusion.
Eighth Master: "...I'm just trying to help the Emperor taste it! You wouldn't know until you eat it, but once you do, you'll know it's not right. Could it be poisonous?"
Jiu Ye couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "My brother, if it was poisonous, do you think we would eat it so happily?"
"Myna, if you can't eat spicy food, don't try it. This dish is not suitable for you." Fourteen kindly reminded him.
The Eighth Master was so angry at his younger brothers that he glared at them and couldn't say a word.
After the spiciness wore off, Mr. Ba subconsciously smacked his lips, and his expression suddenly became strange.
After the spicy and pungent taste passed, I could actually taste something in my mouth, fragrant and numbing... It was truly a taste I had never tasted before.
When Mr. Ba came to his senses, he saw that everyone was eating intently. He couldn't help but pick up the chopsticks again, wanting to taste the fish.
When he looked up, he found that his fourth brother was looking at him suspiciously.
Mr. Ba paused his chopsticks and felt his face burning. He wanted to put down his chopsticks, roll up his sleeves and go out, but he was reluctant to do so.
I spat out the mouthful just now before I could taste it clearly...
He took another look at the dish and finally reached out his chopsticks regardless.
He really didn't have to eat it. After all, it was the Emperor's order. Besides, it would be better for him to try it first for his eldest brother, and then tell his eldest brother later so that his eldest brother would have some idea about it.
Unfortunately, before the chopsticks even touched the ground, he discovered that there was not a single piece of fish left in the pot of boiled fish.
All that was left were some bean sprouts and tofu skin.
Mr. Ba usually doesn’t like to eat bean sprouts and never eats leftovers. For a moment, his brows were furrowed.
Before he could figure it out, the next second, he saw a pair of chopsticks pass by. When he looked closely again, the bean sprouts and bean skin were gone.
The Eighth Master was silent for a moment, but he couldn't help but ask, "Old Ten, are you very hungry?"
The Tenth Master was enjoying his meal and had no time to reply.
Jiu Ye, who was standing beside him, found an opening and chuckled, "Eighth Brother, you don't know that as long as the tenth brother waved his chopsticks, he would definitely take away half of the dish. He's not hungry yet. If he was, the dish would have been gone long ago."
The Eighth Master looked at the Tenth Master silently, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
It wasn't that he had never eaten with the Tenth Brother before; on the contrary, they had often dined together since they were young. Although this younger brother ate more, he was always well-mannered. In the past, when he went to his house for dinner, he would ask the kitchen to prepare his favorite dishes.
Now, how did it become like this?
The Eighth Master couldn't help but look towards the Ninth Master and the Fourteenth Master.
Wow, even Lao Jiu, who is always picky about food, is now eating one bite after another.
Little Fourteen seemed to be eating voraciously.
I took another look at the other people's plates and realized that they had all filled their own plates in advance. Even if the basin was empty, there was still enough food in the bowls. However, they were all vegetables, not fish or meat.
The only one with meat on the plate belonged to his fourth brother.
The fish in front of him was piled up on the plate like a small mountain. Needless to say, his woman must have cooked it for him.
Mr. Ba swallowed his saliva, took a look at his empty plate, and suddenly felt that he had suffered a great loss.
The Fourth Master was actually also paying attention to the Eighth Master, and always felt that the Eighth Master had taken the wrong medicine.
Old Eight was two years younger than he was, but he was no less skilled in horsemanship and archery than he was in writing. He was especially knowledgeable in strategy, and knew all sorts of military books, plots and schemes like the back of his hand.
His moves were hard to defend against, but he appeared extremely gentle, which fooled most people. He was a real smiling tiger.
I don't know what evil things are brewing in my mind today. Seeing that I am about to leave the capital, the Fourth Master can't help but be on guard.
"Fourth brother, you can't finish it? I'll help you." While Fourth Master was distracted, Tenth Master immediately scooped two fish fillets into his own bowl and stuffed them into his mouth very quickly.
After finishing the meal, he looked at the warm wine he and his second uncle were drinking while staring at their food in the distance, his eyes filled with resentment: "Little Fourth Sister-in-law is so partial, she only cares about Fourth Brother."
The Fourth Master's narrow eyes narrowed dangerously. "What? Is it bad to be partial to me?"
The Tenth Master shuddered and immediately said, "Good, very good."
The Fourth Master silently picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish, and slowly put it into his mouth. Although his face looked normal, a chill ran through his body. This made the Ninth Master, who was about to reach for his chopsticks, back off.
Jiu Ye also felt that he had made a mistake. He should have just done what Lao Shi did and snatched the meat from Fourth Brother and ran away. Seeing how Fourth Brother was guarding his food, he was afraid that he had no chance.
While everyone was talking, the second pot of boiled fish with warm wine was already out of the pot.
Jiu Ye's eyes lit up, and he stopped envying Si Ye's. He immediately ran over with the plate in his hand: "Come on, little Si Ye's wife, let me help you taste it again."
Wenjiu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "Master Jiu, wait a minute. I'll pour some hot oil over it and serve you some."
Jiu Ye nodded happily, but before he could say anything, Liang Jiugong came in.
He smiled and bowed with everyone else, then said, "Fourth Master, His Majesty sent me here to take a look. He said that if the young lady had any food, I could take some back with me."
As he spoke, he saw the pot of boiled fish on the stove and immediately said, "Oh, is this what the girl just took out of the pot?"
