In his previous life, Yinzuo had heard a metaphor that said eating was like feeding pigs. The food would only taste good if everyone rushed to eat it. However, as a child who grew up in the city, Yinzuo had never even seen a live pig, let alone fed one. For so many years, he had not been able to deeply understand the meaning of this sentence. But today, Yinzuo looked at his two sheep that were divided cleanly as soon as they were served, and suddenly he understood.
"No, brothers, we are all princes after all. How come you all look like you've been starved for eight hundred years? I don't think Khan Ama has starved you all these years. Can't we be more elegant when eating? Big brother has always been generous. It's okay for him to just grab a leg of lamb and gnaw on it. But what's wrong with you, second brother? I don't remember you being like this before. What's the matter? Did you sit too close to Big Brother today and caught his influence? And third brother, don't you always boast that you are the most polite and well-mannered, but why did all your manners go out of your way today? Look at your belly, I feel so full for you. And fourth brother, I've discovered that you are a repressed person. Don't look at you with a cold face and silence all day long, but when it comes to the critical moment, you are really ruthless. Don't pretend I didn't see it just now. Fifth brother had already grabbed the leg of lamb in his hand, but you scared him with a look and handed it to you again..."
As the saying goes, a sheep has one mouth, two eyes, and four legs... Anyway, in a nutshell, as the two heroes who carried the sheep over - Yin'er and Yin'e, because they were at the end of the order, neither of them got to eat the lamb leg. Now, the two of them stood behind his sixth brother like the two generals, glancing at their brother who was grabbing a lamb leg and chewing it enthusiastically. Every time Yin'er said a word, he would get a nod of agreement from the two. Obviously, his sixth brother's words touched their hearts.
"Sixth brother is right, eldest brother, second brother, you guys really went too far. Two sheep, eight legs, and we didn't even get the leg meat. Look, what is this in my hand? If you don't give me the leg meat, the least you can give me is a lamb chop. Why are you giving me the leg meat? Are you asking me to cure the body with like? But I think my leg meat is pretty good, so why would I need to cure it?"
Upon hearing this, Yinzuo glanced at Fourteenth Brother who had pushed the sheep tongue aside with disdain, and stretched out his hand to signal him to come over to him. Although Fourteenth Brother was usually very angry with everyone, he did not dare to show any temper in front of his sixth brother. Seeing Yinzuo calling him over, he quickly put down the things in his hands, stood up and walked towards Yinzuo.
When Yinzuo saw Fourteenth Brother coming, he moved aside to make room for him, then signaled Yinsi to stand up, pulled his chair over, and asked Fourteenth Brother to sit next to him. Then he turned his head and winked at Yinsi who was standing with his hand stretched out. People say that Yinsi is very smart. Look, Yinzuo didn't say a word, but just a glance and Yinsi understood what his sixth brother meant. He quickly walked to the place where Fourteenth Brother used to sit, took the plate of noodles that Fourteenth Brother despised, and handed it to his sixth brother with a smile. Then he took a step back, stood behind Yinzuo again, and watched the fun.
Fourteen was still wondering why his sixth brother had called him over when he saw the sheep tongue that he had previously despised placed before him again, and this time it was placed by his sixth brother himself. No matter how stupid Fourteen was, he now understood that it seemed that the idea of giving him this tongue was most likely from his sixth brother.
"Sixth brother, what do you mean? I'm telling you, I'm not going to eat this thing today no matter what. You can give it to whoever you want, but I don't want it anyway."
Fourteen was obviously agitated because of his resistance, and his voice unconsciously became much louder. Yinzuo was sitting next to him, so he was naturally the most direct victim. However, he did not attack Fourteen, the culprit, on the spot. He just frowned and patted his shoulder, signaling Fourteen to lower his voice.
"If you don't want to eat, then don't eat. What are you yelling about? I'd say you're just being ungrateful. Do you think I'm trying to trick you? Don't try to take advantage of me. Let me ask you, how many tongues and legs does this sheep have?"
Is this even a question? Even a child would have answered without hesitation. Fourteen felt that he was clearly being looked down upon by Sixth Brother, so his answer was filled with indignation.
"That's so simple. Of course it's just a tongue and four legs."
This was exactly what Yinzuo had been waiting for. Upon hearing it, he nodded in agreement, then looked up, patted Fourteen's head, and spoke earnestly.
"That's it. A sheep has four legs but only one tongue. Which is more valuable, the tongue or the leg? You know Altai, right? He's the grassland Anda I've known since childhood. He told me that in their tribe, sheep tongue is the best thing, usually reserved for the most favored child in the family. You are my younger brother, and Sixth Brother is on your side, so he left this good thing for you. Ask your Ninth Brother, did I give it to him when he asked for it just now? And Thirteen, did you ask me for it just now? If Sixteenth Brother wasn't the youngest here, I wouldn't have given it to him even if he asked. You really don't know how to appreciate your blessings, and you take my kindness for granted..."
Is that the case? Am I judging others by my own standards? While his Sixth Brother's words sound plausible, are they actually true? Fourteen looked from his Ninth Brother to his Ninth Brother, then to his Thirteenth Brother, feeling a bit unsure. Was his Sixth Brother trying to trick him? Or was he just trying to trick him?
It must be said that none of Fourteenth's brothers are good people. Look, now Yinzuo is fooling Fourteenth again, and not only do they not say anything to stop him, they are adding fuel to the fire and fanning the flames.
"Sixth brother is absolutely right. Fourteenth, you just don't know how to appreciate your blessings. This tongue strip is such a good thing. It's because you are his biological brother that Sixth brother left it to you. Isn't it said that what you eat will replenish what you gain? Your ninth brother is often despised by our Sixth brother for his harsh words. I was just thinking of asking for this thing to make up for my poor tongue, but because of you, Sixth brother refused to give it to me. Humph, you got a bargain..."
Look, the way he said this made it seem as if Fourteenth Brother had taken great advantage of him. Yinzhen was so good at tricking his brother, so Thirteenth Brother naturally didn't want to be outdone. As soon as his Ninth Brother finished speaking, he took over the baton.
"Nineth brother is right. Fourteenth, you are really a bit ungrateful. Don't you realize that you are Sixth brother's blood brother? How could he harm you? He usually doesn't think of you when he has good things. There are only two of these lamb tongues. You also know that Sixteen usually loves to eat these Qiao'er Guda things. One is given to him and the other is left for you. I want this too. Who told me that I am not as favored as you in front of Sixth brother? Alas... you really..."
