"This tastes like goose meat to me. We don't raise geese here, but I heard there's a place in the capital where goose meat is abundant. One goose is worth several chickens."
Zhao Daxiao basically knew all these things and he talked about them attentively.
"This is bear paw. This dish is not easy to come by. A bear only has four paws. You all know how hard it is to kill a blind bear. I heard it's very delicious, so it's very expensive.
You see, this one has the least left because everyone knows it's a good thing. Today, only the two main tables have it. I don't know how the third child got it, but there may only be four palms."
"This is a sea cucumber, sea cucumber ginseng. You should know what ginseng is, right? This is an octopus, famous for its eight claws..."
Everyone at the table was shocked. Isn't this table full of food worth a lot of money?
There must be no leftovers, absolutely no leftovers. Chicken, duck, fish and meat have become the most common dishes on the table.
The third child must be going crazy. How much money did their family spend today?!
The four of them stopped chatting and just drank and ate, just because Zhao Daye said that the wine on the table was also good wine, and it cost ten taels of silver per jar.
Zhao Da's mouth was drooling with oil as he ate. Don't listen to what he said. He had only heard about bear paws and had seen others eat them once in a restaurant, but he himself had never eaten them.
Today he must eat his way back to his money and have a good time! He has been craving for this for years.
The yard was full of people who just wanted to eat. Zhao Dashu was satisfied. He looked around and realized that the villagers were more pleasant to look at. Eating with the masters from the county town was boring. They didn't even eat the food, they just drank. They grew up drinking, right? Aren't they hungry?
Every time he ate with them, he would go home hungry.
Flowing water banquet place.
Every time Xiao Lei came to a table, he would offer everyone a cup of tea instead of wine. At the first table, all the people from his own village were seated, and half of the people from outside the village were seated.
People from other villages knew that he was a scholar from Jin Dynasty, and they were extremely respectful to him. The scholar not only treated them to free meals, but also toasted them. He seemed to be very easy to get along with and had no airs at all.
As the toasts were made at table after table, Xiao Lei felt as if he was staggering as he walked, with a belly full of saliva.
"Leizi!"
Xiao Lei pretended not to hear Xiao Ping calling him, toasted and prepared to leave. It was not easy to meet people, and with so many people around, Xiao Ping knew that Xiao Lei would not do anything to them.
Now they are not afraid of wearing shoes when they are barefoot. If they want to control Xiao Lei, they have to do it now. The couple discussed it last night.
"Leizi, come home with Dad. Let's not be bullied in other people's homes and become live-in sons-in-law, okay? Don't worry, Dad will sell everything he has to support your education. We can't sell ourselves for money!"
The onlookers were shocked. A scholar was selling himself?
"Are you sure you want to cause trouble today?"
Xiao Ping shrank his neck. His son had become a little scary! He had such a strong aura!
"It's not Leizi, I just feel sorry for you!"
"You feel sorry for me? You took care of me after my mother died, and you took care of my elderly grandparents? You married a stepmother, and whenever I went up the mountain to hunt, you would take away any prey? You would search my house from time to time? When I was injured and dying while hunting, you didn't care at all, and you didn't even bother to dig a grave for me to die, and you just cut off all ties with me?
Xiao Ping, you know what you and Yang did. The whole village was watching. Why do you recognize me now? It's just because I'm successful and rich.
It's too late. Didn't you spread rumors that I was unlucky? How dare you tell me to go home? I'm out of money hunting and have no money to spend? Didn't you have two children with your wife? Let them raise them!
There is no going back, there is no turning back, you are on your own."
The villagers watching the excitement were stunned. Is this still a human being? How could the scholar have lived such a miserable life? How could anyone treat their own son like this? Even if he married a daughter-in-law, he couldn't be so cruel, right?
