Food is the most important thing for people.
Eating is the most important thing in the world.
The moment He Niang's voice rang out, the entire village seemed to become more lively, and the bandits hurriedly moved out tables and stools.
Then the women brought out the food and set the table.
There were seven or eight round tables on the playground, and the bandits sat around them, feeling like they were having a banquet.
Sun Niaoniao came out of the room with the two girls whose minds were still blank. Pei Yun also came out after practicing and invited the three girls to sit at the same table with him.
My desk mates include He Niang and Wang Sui.
When they saw the food on the table, the two girls' eyes widened. Although Xue Qianqian knew that there was food in Yiyun Village, during the few days she was in Yiyun Village, she only ate pork and some snacks that Pei Yun bought for her.
And now what I see.
Fragrant old hen soup, roasted duck meat that is golden and juicy, delicious braised pork, cold braised beef, and several plates of vegetables.
Each one of them whets one’s appetite and one can’t help but want to show off their food.
Pei Yun went to the kitchen and specifically asked He Niang to make this before he went back to the house to practice martial arts. Seeing that Liu Yiyi and Xue Qianqian looked pale and thin and malnourished, he thought of treating them well.
After all, the two women had helped him before, and he, Pei Yun, was not an ungrateful person.
The other bandits ate similarly, except there was no old hen soup.
"Eat, don't just stand there."
Pei Yun saw Liu Yiyi and Xue Qianqian staring at the food on the table in a daze, and spoke with a smile.
The two girls finally reacted, and Liu Yiyi finally believed that what Xue Qianqian had told her before was true.
The food in Yiyun Village is really good. I am afraid that even if all the nobles in Ruifeng County were combined, they would not be able to have such a sumptuous meal.
Moreover, she saw that this was not specially prepared by Pei Yun for them. There were also vegetables and meat on other tables, and the portions were even larger than theirs.
Liu Yiyi picked up a piece of braised pork. The texture of the pork, which was fat but not greasy, lean but not dry, coupled with the rich aroma of the sauce, instantly bloomed on the tip of her tongue.
She had never eaten such delicious braised pork before. Even the most upscale restaurant in Qingyang County could not make it taste like this.
In addition, she hadn't eaten meat for a long time, so Liu Yiyi felt that this piece of braised pork was the most delicious thing she had ever eaten in her life.
But even though she was hungry, she still maintained the elegance of a noblewoman and ate in small bites, but at a very fast speed.
Xue Qianqian feels the same way. These dishes with chicken essence are simply delicious.
For the past six months, she had been drinking porridge and eating wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain. Now that she finally got to eat something delicious again, she couldn't help but want to cry.
Liu Yiyi also understood why Xue Qianqian couldn't let go of the mountain village and always wanted to come back. If she were in his place, she would also want to come back.
Eating such delicious food during a famine year is simply the most wonderful enjoyment in the world.
While eating, Xue Qianqian suddenly remembered something. Zhang Kui and the others seemed to be still outside.
"Brother Pei, the officer who came with us..."
Pei Yun slapped his forehead, he had forgotten about it, and said, "Bald, go and call those officials to come in and have dinner."
The bald man ran out, and soon Zhang Kui and others followed in. They stayed outside and didn't dare to move. Liu Yiyi and Xue Qianqian had been in there for so long that they didn't know what was going on.
When the sun went down, they smelled a fragrance coming from the village, and the five of them sniffed it greedily.
The more I smelled it, the hungrier I became, and my stomach started to growl.
The feeling of being able to only smell but not eat was so miserable. The five of them stretched their necks to look into the village. They had no idea what these bandits were eating and why it smelled so good.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t see anything and could only stand outside and worry.
At this moment, they followed the bald man into the village and arrived at the table. When their eyes fell on the dishes, their eyes almost bulged out.
Oh my God!
I'm not dreaming, am I? Am I hallucinating because I've been hungry for too long?
I actually saw chicken thighs, duck wings, braised pork, and what was that? Braised beef?
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Even a landlord’s house couldn’t possibly have such delicious dishes these days, and not just one table, but several tables.
When the nobles gathered together, the dishes served were all small plates, and most of them were wild vegetables. Occasionally, there was one or two pieces of meat, which was already a very high standard.
Unless there are important guests, you won’t see any meat at all.
And now, it's all meat here!
The most important thing is that they are served in large bowls, full to the brim.
"Why are you standing there? Sit down. Since the boss has allowed you to come in to eat, that means we don't care about your previous attacks on us. So eat as much as you want."
The bald man spoke.
Zhang Kui smiled awkwardly. In the previous attack, more than 20 people died on their side, while only a few people died on the bandits' side. Of course, they didn't care. If more people had died, the scene would probably be completely different.
It was not until the meat was in their mouths that Zhang Kui and his four friends were sure that this was not an illusion caused by hunger, but that there was real meat to eat.
For a moment, I felt mixed emotions.
These officials ate grass roots and tree bark at the foot of the mountain every day, did the most tiring work, endured the most severe beatings, but ate the worst food.
However, these bandits enjoyed abundant food and fish and lived a happy and carefree life, which made others envious.
Even if I could eat meat every day, I would still be willing to be a bandit.
"Drink, drink."
The bald man poured Zhang Kui a glass of beer and they both toasted. Zhang Kui couldn't get used to it at first and thought it was so unpalatable, but after a few sips, he thought the beer seemed interesting and started pouring wine and toasting.
"Brothers, I came here to siege the mountain strongholds because it was my duty. Today, it is fate that I can sit together with you brothers to eat meat and drink wine. I, Zhang Kui, will drink first to show my respect."
