Chapter 13 Free Lunch(1/2)

On the third day of the second month of the fourth year of Chongning in the Song Dynasty, at noon, Zhang Hongkui stopped training to walk on the spot and wanted to take people to the woods.

This is Yue Fei's sudden idea of ​​changing his mind after getting a big advantage from Zhang Hongkui's family.

When everyone was queuing up again to prepare to marching while practicing walking in stairs, the rich man Wang Ming came to deliver food.

Since Wang Ming promised everyone to serve a free meal before the start, of course, it is the most suitable for serving lunch.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, most of the eating habits of rural people were two meals, which were sparse in the morning and at night.

After the high-intensity training that started from Chenchu ​​in the morning, everyone was already so hungry that they were in the back.

If there is no lunch, they must practice and persist until the night. Although the effect is affected, it is not a big problem.

It is said that Chinese farmers are hard-working, but that is not a vain. Just from the perspective of eating, most people cannot stand it.

The length from morning to evening is about six hours from morning to morning to evening.

Wang Ming's free lunch was just right. If it was a little later, these people would drive to the ash forest.

Since it was a meal, I always had to give me some rest time, so Hu Zi asked Zhang Hongkui to order everyone to rest on the spot and keep the formation unchanged.

At the same time, the hoe team that was in the soup dump also called over to have lunch together, so that they could take a break.

Wang Ming didn't know how to prepare this free lunch, so he actually used three large carriages to transport it.

Everyone can see that each carriage is covered with the kind of curtains that surround the entire carriage.

These curtains are closed into a circle to hold food.

Yue Fei estimated that Wang Ming would need at least two thousand kilograms of flour to make three carts of steamed buns.

I guess even if Wang Ming, a rich man, used up so much white flour, it would be painful.

In fact, Wang Ming also regretted it a little. He did not expect that the villagers would be enthusiastic and could summon 800 people to come.

In this way, each household has an average of five people, and it is really a soldier for the whole people.

When he calculated, he counted three people in each household, and there were less than five hundred people, and almost a thousand kilograms of flour was enough.

After everyone arrived, Wang Ming loudly announced: "Free lunch, now you can eat it!"

Under Zhang Hongkui's management, everyone lined up in three groups to get food from three big trucks.

In order to strengthen management and prevent anyone from seeing the food, Zhang Hongkui borrowed the white wax pole that was very convenient to beat people back.

He originally gave it to Yue Fei.

There is also food making. It is said that this term was learned from Yue Fei. Although everyone was confused, why did they say food making?

Besides, this kind of food is very welcome, why should I beat it? What should I do if it is broken? Even if it is not broken, it will be bad if it is beaten away.

However, seeing that Yue Fei was the young master who everyone liked and there was a big steamed bun gag, everyone let it go.

It doesn’t matter if this side is over, this kind of irregular saying will circulate.

The main reason is that although the rich man Wang was reluctant to lie down for several days this time, I swear that I will never be so stupid again.

However, no one expected that the rich man would change one, a little rich man, but this little man was only about age.

Apart from his age, where is he younger? He is simply rich and powerful.

He filled all the food that everyone had become members of the people.

Needless to say, this rich man is Yue Fei.

If everyone wants to be soldiers, they cannot solve the problem of military rations, and even half of the people can't do it.

Therefore, the biggest problem for the whole nation to be a soldier is not the soldiers, but the people who support these soldiers eat horses and feed them.

These things cannot be solved. Isn’t it a fool for Yue Fei to do the whole nation to be a soldier?

Even if these soldiers stay in Chenggang Village and can eat their home meals for a while before sitting down, what about going out to do the task?

Yue Fei can't just stay at home and be beaten passively like a rich man.

In that case, it would be no different from a stupid person who played chess and ignored his family. Sooner or later, he would take it out for a nest.

Yue Fei knew that military struggle was a group of people with the highest IQ and the highest ability to divide into two evenly matched groups, and then a life-and-death duel.

Which side fails to perform at its highest level, or if a tiger takes a nap and neglects it, it will be doomed.

If you don’t have sufficient psychological and material preparation, don’t just step into this circle. If you are honest and beaten, you may be able to live a few more days.

And an important part here is that when it is time to fight, you must attack the periphery and even attack the lair behind the enemy.

At this time, of course, you have to prepare food and grass by yourself, otherwise you will have nothing to eat when you hit the enemy. Wouldn’t you give the enemy a head?

At the same time, Yue Fei could not expect the court to send grain to support this part of the military force.

It is one thing that the court does not admit, unless it is surrendered to the court beforehand.

Of course, he refused to give the life-saving trump card that Yue Fei had worked hard to make to the court.

Also, this was done by Yue Fei behind his back, and the court could not know whether the early or mid-term stages were known.

After the wings were hard in the later period, the court's attitude could be ignored.

In short, you can't count on the court at any time and do your own food and clothing.

Therefore, it is a matter of course for Yue Fei to solve the military rations himself, and it is also the first priority. He had already made plans in his mind.

Not to mention these far-reaching things, it depends on everyone receiving steamed buns, one by one, which is equivalent to two pounds and four ounces.

Looking at the lively thrilling of Wang Ming's property while holding the steamed bun in his hand, Yue Fei was filled with emotion.

Food is the most important thing for the people, which is a pity that the government cannot even take care of this. It has the face of calling itself the emperor. Is there a royal minister in the shores of the land?

Yue Fei stopped his random thoughts and continued to look at steamed buns. This is the most realistic.

The steamed buns are all based on two liang of each side. They could have been bigger, but Yue Fei refused to let them because the steamed buns with two liang of each side are the most fuel-efficient.

At this time, the house is small and thin, and everything has to be calculated.

There is also two sides, one side, which is also easy to carry.

This consideration also comes from Yue Fei. If everyone didn’t have twelve words, it would probably be that one-quarter of them would not be enough to eat.

And each person sent twelve ones, and Wang Ming had already said clearly that he could take them home if he couldn't finish them!

Don't underestimate this measure.

Some poor households can't eat this kind of white-floured steamed buns for a year.

Twelve suddenly fell from the sky today, and they must have been happy.

Most people in poor families respect the elderly and love their children. If you have this opportunity, how can you not leave it for them? It will be cheaper for them?

It is better to have fun than to have fun alone. This is the simple concept and principle of doing things among villagers.

This kind of thing is worth advocating, and Yue Fei cannot force them to eat it.

When everyone got their big steamed buns, they started to eat them voraciously.

In the end, more than 20 people were not received.

These people were punished by Zhang Hongkui. They were originally sank in the place and couldn't get up. When they smelled the fragrance of steamed buns, they all came up!

Then he moved slowly over with guilt.

Unfortunately, Zhang Hongkui saw it again and cursed: "You still have the face to eat steamed buns? There is no one you can eat, get out!"

When those people saw how delicious other people ate, their stomachs suddenly roared like a pool of toads, and couldn't help crying.

Including that Zhang Hongba, he couldn't hold on. It turned out that if a person was hungry, any pain and grievance would be even more painful.

Yue Fei is the kindest, thinking that human nature should be reflected at this time, and should not challenge the bottom line of human beings. He gave them six instructions each.

Since there is any mistake, of course you need to punish it. Reduce steamed buns by half, which is also very strict.

Everyone was grateful for these six steamed buns, including Zhang Hongba.

He ate it voraciously, but there was no left. He decided to finish his hatred. The six steamed buns could not be suppressed at all.

After the division, Wang Ming counted and there were still 520 steamed buns left.

At this time, Wang Ming sent some helpers to those who drove the train, ten each, and thus, a hundred more were reduced.

Only four hundred and twenty are left.

At this time, the foodie came over.

The foodie is Uncle Huzi. When talking about eating steamed buns for free, he said he could eat twenty, so Yue Fei gave him a nickname, foodie.

He had eaten twelve of them, not one left, not full yet.

Hu Zi can eat with confidence because he has no family, otherwise he would not have been with Yue Fei since childhood as a servant.

It’s also a pity that Yue Fei was able to tell things when he was born, and remember Hu Zi’s voice because Hu Zi was very active that day, even Chen Tuan rushed.

Uncle Huzi’s only concern was Mahua, but he was embarrassed to send her two, and Mahua was not without steamed buns.

So Hu Zi didn't want anything else and wanted to eat a full stomach today.

Originally, Yue Fei volunteered to give the remaining eleven steamed buns to Uncle Huzi, and he would eat all of them, chickens and soybeans.
