The servants from Cao Herui's family came here on purpose. Not only were they on paid leave today, but they were also given some food and wine in food boxes in the morning when they went to work. Zhang Xiaobao guessed that they would come looking for trouble. If they were wrong, he would just treat them to a meal.
When these people came, they began to look for a place where the Liu family ate. They wanted to see where they were going to cook, so they went to the side and ate their own food.
Normally, fishermen would not have a place to cook on the shore when they went out to fish. Usually, they would bring rice dumplings from home. There were also rice dumplings that were similar to rice dumplings. The rice was steamed, and some vegetables were rolled up. If it was better, some fish was rolled up, and the outside was wrapped with vegetables.
In this way, there were meat dishes and rice. Some liked to eat sour food, so they added some vinegar. Some liked to eat sour food, and some liked to eat it because the weather was hot. When the food was taken out, it would be a little fermented and sour, and it would have a different taste.
The Liu family was not used to it, so they specially arranged for people to cook on the shore. They wanted to learn how Zhang Zhong's family treated the working people. For example, when they were working, there were people cooking for them. Now, even if it was not a waste of time, there were people who would give them rolls or jiamos.
If they did not have a place to cook, wouldn't they be worse than the ordinary people?
In fact, their status was not comparable to that of the ordinary people, but they did not think so. They deliberately learned from the ordinary people and asked people to spread a few pancakes, fried two vegetarian dishes, and put in some shrimp, small dried fish, and other things to eat. It was only a little different from what the ordinary people ate. They replaced the meat dishes with vegetarian dishes.
The servants from Cao Herui's family also knew about this, and deliberately came to laugh at the Liu family. Today, the food that Zhang Xiaobao prepared for them was very good. Smoked chicken made by Zhang Dashan, pig head meat, and in addition to these two, there were even five catties of spiced beef. Beef was amazing. Normally, they would not even dare to think about eating it, let alone eat it.
They made some coriander and garlic sauce for themselves, and found a place to sit not far away. They looked at the sea, which they had long been bored of, and listened to the noise of the waves. Now and then they glanced at the sun, hoping that it would leave soon and that it would be noon.
After waiting for a long time, they were all dazed by the sun. Finally, noon came. All the people who were fishing in this area came up at the same time. The Cao family was a little special. They did not have anyone to cook, so Cao Herui brought them big steamed buns with vegetable fillings. According to Zhang Xiaobao, these were good things that could replenish a lot of vitamins. He used fruits to replenish himself. If he ate steamed buns, he wanted to replenish his protein.
There was more salt in the steamed buns. Firstly, it could prevent the steamed buns from being sunburned. Secondly, it could save the steamed buns from being dipped in soy sauce. Originally, they were told to bring the steamed buns with them and eat them when they were hungry. However, they gathered all the steamed buns together and put them on the shore so that they could rest for a while.
As soon as the people of the Cao family came ashore, the 30 people who worked for the Zhang family shouted at them and asked them to come over and eat there.
These people who were catching shrimps on the wooden raft also knew that the 30 people were different from others. They wore new clothes with rice seedlings embroidered on them. They did not eat with them at night like before. Instead, they ate three meals a day at the Zhang family. They ate well with meat and vegetables and drank wine.
These days, they had been envious. At this time, when they saw that they were called over, they did not hesitate and took the steamed buns to the side where the Liu family's servants were eating today.
"Xiao Xia, come here. Here is some wine for you to drink. Don't you usually say that you want to drink some wine? I brought it here. There is also beef. Eat, eat as much as you can. When we are working there, we can drink wine and eat meat if we want. Our master is the best. Others can't. "
One of the 30 people shouted at the thin and weak person coming over. His voice was very loud, so loud that the servants of the other three families could hear him clearly. Naturally, the servants of the Liu family heard him the most clearly.
As he spoke, he opened the bamboo tube that contained the wine and took out the cut meat. He looked in the direction of the servants of the Liu family and pinched a piece of beef. He slowly put it into his mouth and gently chewed twice. Only then did he take a sip of wine. His movements were not small. It was as the saying went, "one mouthful of food and one mouthful of wine."
It would be a lie if the Liu family's servants said that they were not greedy. They could only catch some fish to cook at home. They could not taste other meat at all. Even if they brought fish back, they could only see how much oil there was on the fish. If there was no oil, the master would not give them too much oil. They would not care about salt. They could eat whatever they wanted.
Looking at the people of the Cao family eating, the people of the Liu family could only pretend that they did not know. Some people quietly scolded them for being shameless. The master family and the Zhang family were at odds, but they still went to the Zhang family to do things.
The people of the Liu family could not eat it. They could only smell the fragrance that drifted over. However, the people of the Cao family were different. Everyone had a master. Since they were called over, they would definitely be able to eat it. If they were not called, then it would be another story.
The person who was called Xiao Xia was the first to come over. He smiled at the person who called him and said, "Brother Big Fish, you guys are really capable. You can eat such good food and drink wine. Brother Big Fish, are you really going to let me eat it?"
"My name is Da Yu, not Big Fish. Remember, next time you call me by the wrong name, there will be no food to eat." The person who spoke just now corrected him. In fact, he was used to being called Big Fish in the past. Now, he felt that his identity was different. His real name was Big Rain. He did not know where he heard it. There was also a powerful person called Da Yu, so he changed his name.
Of course, Xiao Xia did not dare to argue about this matter. If he did, there would be no food to eat. He smiled even more amiably and said, "Brother Da Yu, do you think people like us can also go to the Zhang family to do things?"
Da Yu was happy to be called. He pinched two pieces of beef and placed them in the palm of Xiao Xia's outstretched hand generously. Then, he handed the bamboo tube over and said, "For this matter, you have to find the master. The master is very capable. He can talk to the people of the Zhang family. Maybe it will work. Compared to the masters of other families, our master is more than a hundred times better. What can other masters do? They will be deceived. "
"Yes, yes, the masters of other families can be deceived. Yes, the meat is really delicious. The wine is also good." Xiao Xia echoed. He drank two pieces of meat and a mouthful of wine, making him feel comfortable from inside out.
"Who are you talking about? Which family's Master was fooled? Say it clearly. Who is the more capable one? " One of the more hot-tempered people from the Liu family finally could not hold it in. It was fine that he smelled the fragrance of the wine and dishes, but he actually dared to talk about his master? He stood up and pointed at Big Fish.
This person was half a head taller than Big Fish and was also stronger than him. If it was before, Big Fish could only endure. But now, it was different. He was originally sitting, but he also stood up and shouted at the person who came, "I will talk about whoever comes over. What can you do? Do you dare to touch me? I work for the Zhang family. If you touch me, I will say that I can't do it anymore. I will ask the people of the Zhang family to come over and teach you a lesson.
Now that I have told you, I will talk about you. I will say that your master is stupid and was deceived. You think you can take advantage of him. So what? If you can't get the shrimp sauce, you can wait to lose money. My master is capable. Look at the food we eat, and look at the junk you eat. Capable, this is capable. Do you understand? "
This person from the Liu family really wanted to make a move, but when he heard what Big Fish said, he could only clench his fists tightly. He was indeed afraid of the Zhang family, not only because Zhang Zhong was the Provincial Governor, but more importantly, because those people from the Zhang family really dared to kill people. He had a straightforward personality and did not dare to make a move now. When he heard Big Fish proudly belittling his master, he almost cried in anger.
The other members of the Liu family also did not dare to come over and cause trouble. They stood there and felt waves of sadness in their hearts. Their master had been deceived. That person surnamed Cao went to the Zhang family to enjoy life. It would be a lie to say that they were not envious. But who could they blame?
On their side, the people from the Cao Herui family were happy. They ate and sipped some wine, and kept talking about the Liu family. In any case, there was nothing good to say.
The people from the other two families acted as if this matter did not concern them. They were jealous of the Cao family, but they were also happy that the Liu family was being talked about. They had never forgotten that the Liu family did not give them food to eat in the past. The Liu family began to eat.
The people of the Liu Family began to eat in silence. One of them was quite ambitious. He said to the people beside him, "Hurry up and eat. After you finish eating, go catch prawns. No matter what, we have to deal with this matter. We can't count on others. When we go back, we will tell Master. All officials are the same. Master will not be inferior to anyone. Only shameless people would hug the thigh of the Zhang Family."
After he said this, the people from the Liu family really gained some morale. They ate faster. The people from the Cao family ate very slowly. The main reason was that they could not bear to eat too quickly. That way, they would not be able to taste the wine and food. They all looked at the people from the Liu family with mocking expressions on their faces.
*****
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were also eating lunch. The two of them did not know that their strategy of sowing discord had achieved very good results. The two of them came out in the morning and rode on the same horse. They ran towards the project that Qi Dong was in charge of. On the way, they slowed down a little to look at the surrounding scenery and the situation of the grain planted on the ground.
When it was almost time for lunch, they arrived at the site. The two of them not only saw the pile of firewood used to cook salt, but also saw the people cooking salt by the sea.
At this time, the meal was ready. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan found a place to eat. There was no table, and Qi Dong did not make pancakes. For the sake of greed, it was better to cook normally.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan carried their own plates and walked casually to Qi Dong's side. They squatted there and began to eat. As they ate, they stopped to look at Qi Dong.
If it was a normal person doing this, Qi Dong would have already become angry. However, he did not dare to provoke the two children of the Provincial Governor's family. He could only force himself to endure.
"Cuckoo, with so many pots used to cook salt, how much salt do you think can be cooked for several days? Is the salt enough for the people working here? "Zhang Xiaobao did not plan to let Qi Dong eat peacefully. He asked Wang Juan.
Wang Juan swallowed the food in her mouth. "With so many pots cooking, if the people working here eat the salt, they will probably die. Aiya, since it is cooked, why can't I see any salt? Where did the salt go these past few days? Xiao Bao, do you know? If you don't know, ask your father. I will ask him later. "
