"Huh!?" Dong Wenfeng frowned, "Why is there only this much?"
"You let five thousand elite soldiers eat such a small amount of steamed buns?"
There are two large basins of steamed buns, which at most contain only two or three hundred steamed buns.
Not to mention one per person, even one for five people is not enough.
The master pulled the corner of his lips and said quickly,
"These steamed buns are a special gift to the general. No one else has the right to eat them."
"All the wells in Shiquan City are dry. Lord Tong has ordered people to dig deeper wells, but no one knows when they will find water."
"These steamed buns are a gift from the people of the city to the general. As for the elite soldiers..."
"The elite soldiers will have to continue to eat sesame cakes for the next few days..."
As he said this, the master covered his chest with his hands and tears began to fall.
"General, you don't know, wuwu..."
"If it doesn't rain today, the people in this city won't be able to endure for a few more days..."
Dong Wenfeng looked at the master with disdain and interrupted the master's crying.
"Alright, alright, stop crying. It's bad luck!"
Dong Wenfeng felt very satisfied when he saw his master flattering him carefully.
Of course he knew that there was no water in Shiquan City, and he took the last eight barrels of water from the government warehouse yesterday.
There was a bucket of water hidden in his room. No matter who else was short of water, he couldn't be short of his own.
Dong Wenfeng squinted his eyes and looked at the fragrant steamed buns, then glanced at his master who was sobbing with his eyes lowered.
"Come here, each of you take a steamed bun."
He said last night that he wanted steamed buns for lunch today, and the master delivered them early in the morning. He seemed a little too attentive, and he was worried.
When something is out of the ordinary, there must be something wrong. He must be careful.
When the lawyer heard Dong Wenfeng's words, his heart skipped a beat. He raised his eyelids and saw that Dong Wenfeng was pointing at him.
His pupils trembled and he felt like the sky was falling.
At this moment, the white and fragrant steamed buns beside him made him feel nauseous.
He doesn't even need to eat, he can't help but want to vomit...
The master's lips trembled, and before he could think of how to refuse, he heard a few excited voices behind him.
"Thank you for the reward, General!"
The master paused, turned around with eyes wide open to look.
Six soldiers grinned and happily took a hot and fragrant steamed bun from the basin.
The lawyer shuddered in his heart and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He couldn't bear to watch the soldiers eating steamed buns with big mouthfuls.
The master hurriedly lowered his eyelids, took a deep breath, and suppressed the nausea in his heart.
He tried to keep his mind as empty as possible, not thinking about the process of following Master Tong to ask for water and the scene of kneading dough last night.
Dong Wenfeng raised his hand and pointed at the six soldiers who were relatively close to him.
He felt a little uneasy that Magistrate Tong would be so obedient as to make such delicious steamed buns for him, so he had to ask someone to help him test the poison.
However, the number of steamed buns is limited. If he gives too many to others, he will have less to eat.
These six are usually quite active, so they are lucky.
"Hmm~"
Dong Wenfeng responded calmly and accepted the soldiers' thanks.
He stared at the soldiers and finished eating a steamed bun with great satisfaction.
The expressions of the six soldiers told him that the steamed bun was not poisonous and was very delicious.
Yes, after eating two or three hard, lumpy sesame cakes, it tastes good when you eat these soft and fragrant steamed buns.
Looking at the soldiers smacking their lips and staring at the steamed buns with shining eyes, Dong Wenfeng suddenly felt very hungry.
"Bring it in!"
Dong Wenfeng glanced at the two yamen runners carrying steamed buns, then turned and walked into the house.
When he reached the threshold, he paused, glanced back at his master,
"Send two buckets of water over at noon."
The lawyer was stunned for a moment and looked at Dong Wenfeng in embarrassment.
Shiquan City is so dry, where can we get two buckets of water?
The water that I saved with great difficulty should have lasted at least half a month if I drank it sparingly.
As a result, Dong Wenfeng drank up all their stored water in just two days.
Under Dong Wenfeng's threatening and oppressive gaze, the master nodded helplessly.
".....yes."
Dong Wenfeng glanced at his master with a sneer, then turned and went into the house.
"Send it in quickly..."
Seeing Dong Wenfeng returning to the house, the lawyer breathed a sigh of relief and quickly waved his hand to signal the two yamen runners to bring in the steamed buns.
Fortunately, he and Lord Tong did not put poison in the steamed buns. The man surnamed Dong was indeed very careful and actually asked his men to test the poison.
“Go, go, go…go quickly…”
After seeing the yamen runners bringing the steamed buns in and out, the lawyer hurriedly greeted the two of them and left in a hurry.
If he stays here any longer, he'll really vomit.
Dong Wenfeng listened to the footsteps of his master leaving in a hurry, and smiled contemptuously.
If he had known these civil servants were so timid, he should have taught them a lesson on the first day he arrived.
Last night he kept saying there was no water in Shiquan City.
I just didn't look for it carefully. If I really wanted water, there would be water here.
"What a jerk official who refuses to accept a toast and then drinks a forfeit. He deserves a beating..."
Dong Wenfeng sneered, reached out and grabbed a fragrant steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Hmm~?"
After Dong Wenfeng took two sips of his lips, his eyebrows raised slightly.
No wonder those soldiers looked unsatisfied after eating the steamed buns.
This steamed bun tastes really good today, with a sweet taste, and the more you chew it, the more delicious it becomes.
