"Haha! Uncle Hu, you can line up. I'm not in a hurry to eat, so I'll line up slowly! And you guys, don't worry about me. Line up in your own line. Eating is the most important thing in the world. No one is more honorable than anyone else when it comes to eating! "
Li Zexuan waved to Mr. Hu, and then he saw the people in front of the line looking at him hesitantly. He hurriedly said to those people in a kind manner.
At this moment, Li Zexuan could be described as kind and amiable. He was totally different from when he was lecturing the people above. This made the craftsmen feel a little confused, but at the same time, they felt a sense of familiarity.
The most direct manifestation was that when the foreigners in the line passed by Li Zexuan after getting their food, they were no longer trembling with fear like before. Instead, they would smile and say "Hello, Sir" or "Hello, Boss".
This was also the effect that Li Zexuan wanted. As the saying goes, relax to a certain extent. Blindly making others afraid of you would not work. That would also affect the efficiency of work.
…
Li Zexuan did not deliberately eat at the construction site to put on a show. He did not need to put on a show. The reason why he stayed for lunch was that firstly, he wanted to see how the food at the construction site was and whether it needed to be adjusted. Secondly, he had to continue to discuss the detailed plan of the construction of the Academy with Yan Lide in the afternoon. It was not worthwhile to go back in the middle of the day. At this moment, the sun in the sky was the hottest time of the day.
Carrying the food, Li Zexuan came to the shed. In the morning, the people below would naturally bring in tables and stools. The shed was now "fully equipped".
Li Zexuan came to the table and sat down. Opposite him, Li Tai, the little fatty, was staring at the big fat meat in the bowl.
If it was said that Li Zexuan stayed for lunch because of the situation, then Li Tai stayed for the sake of 'putting on a show'. The little fatty had just become the captain of the eighth team of the construction corps in the morning and could be considered as Old Hu's' subordinate '. He wanted to set an example and raise the recognition of the people below him.
Li Tai's royal education taught him that if a superior wanted to capture the hearts of the people, he had to share weal and woe with his subordinates.
In this aspect, his old man, Li Er, had perfected his military career in the early years. Thus, all the generals of the Great Tang were loyal to Li Er.
However, Li Tai was not Li Er. This little fatty was used to living a luxurious life since he was young. He had very strict requirements for food. In this aspect, even Li Zexuan admitted defeat. Otherwise, how could he be so fat ~?
Now, it was his first time eating such a big pot of food. Eating such fat meat, just looking at it made him feel nauseous. How could he eat it?
"Haha! What? You can't eat it ~? I told you to go back and eat, but you insisted on staying and asking for trouble! Let's see what you can do now. There are no restaurants or restaurants in this wilderness, and your first team's mission in the afternoon is very important! Let's see how you can order the people below to work when you're hungry. "
Li Zexuan glanced at Li Tai, who was in a dilemma, and said sarcastically.
Although he himself didn't like to eat fat meat, he was more witty. When he had just finished eating, he gave all the fat meat in the bowl to Old Hu. These fat meat may be inferior food to people like him and Li Tai, but for people like Old Hu, who were at the bottom of the labor force, this was top quality food. Not only did it taste good, but it also made them hungry. If you used lean meat to exchange with them for fat meat, they wouldn't be too happy ~!
"Who … Who said I can't eat it … Ah, f * ck, Little Xuan, you actually gave me special treatment. Why is there no fat meat in your food ~?"
Li Tai was about to argue, but when he saw that there was no fat meat in Li Zexuan's bowl, only minced meat and vegetables, he immediately called out Li Zexuan for giving special treatment.
"Bullshit! You brat, there must be something wrong with your eyes. I just don't have fat meat in my bowl. Aren't the other dishes the same as yours? When did I give you special treatment ~? "
Li Zexuan couldn't wait to drag this brat over and stuff him into his bowl. He glared at him and said in exasperation.
"Oh ~! You should have said so earlier! Then I'll throw away this fat meat and eat vegetables like you! "
Li Tai didn't feel embarrassed at all because he misunderstood others. This guy thought that Li Zexuan threw away the fat meat in his bowl. He propped up his fat body and prepared to go out and throw away the meat.
Li Zexuan said angrily, "Stop! Which eye of yours saw me throw away the meat ~? I only gave the meat to Uncle Hu! It's fine if you don't like to eat some dishes, but you can't waste food! The food you don't like to eat is a delicacy in the eyes of many people, but you would rather throw away the meat than share it with others. How hateful! Wine and meat stinks at the vermilion gates, frozen bones lie on the road. This is exactly what a prince in the palace who doesn't understand the suffering of the common people ~! "
This was the first time Li Zexuan said such harsh words. It was also the first time Li Tai was reprimanded by someone other than Li Er. Li Tai was so angry that his eyes turned red. If the person in front of him wasn't Li Zexuan, he would have drawn his sword and killed him. At this moment, his heart was filled with anger and grievance. Yes, it was grievance.
His nature wasn't bad. He just didn't think of this method of giving away the fat meat.
Wine and meat stinks at the vermilion gates, frozen bones lie on the road!
These two lines of the poem also gave Li Tai a great shock! He clenched his teeth and didn't say a word. His face was green and white. He wanted to fly into a rage, slam the table, and fight it out with Li Zexuan. But subconsciously, he felt that Li Zexuan was telling him this for his own good.
Moreover, he didn't want to be the main character of "Wine and meat stinks at the vermilion gates, frozen bones lie on the road". He didn't want future generations to think of him, Li Tai, as a prince. If that happened, wouldn't his reputation go down in history?
"What ~? You don't agree ~? You think what I said is wrong ~? Good ~! Then go out and take a look. See if the fat meat you threw away is the supreme delicacy in the eyes of those craftsmen ~! "
Li Tai's face changed between green and white. Li Zexuan didn't care and continued to reprimand him.
He had made up his mind to be a strict teacher today. After interacting with Li Tai for so long, Li Zexuan's attitude towards the little fatty changed from being cautious at the beginning to keeping a distance. Later on, Li Tai pretended to be his disciple and he only taught him in the name of a teacher. In the end, Li Tai accepted him wholeheartedly and wholeheartedly taught him.
During this time, Li Zexuan naturally had a very deep understanding of Li Tai's personality. This little fatty's nature wasn't bad, he was just a little arrogant. In these few months of interaction, Li Zexuan felt Li Tai's intelligence, Li Tai's craftiness, Li Tai's arrogance, Li Tai's sincerity sometimes, and Li Tai's funny joy sometimes.
Li Zexuan felt that Li Tai was just a smart child who hadn't been completely spoiled yet!
