Chapter 77 Lunch
People eat for food.

Lu Yuan didn't understand this sentence before, until he looked at Zhu Qiqi's bright smile after eating.Only then did he realize that food can bring such a strong sense of happiness to people.

After Lu Yuan brought Zhu Qiqi home last night, everyone in the stepmother group felt extremely distressed.A six-year-old child was trafficked hundreds of miles away and had low-quality rouge and gouache painted on his face.He looks like an injured kitten, but he pretends to be a little tiger with bared teeth.Zhao Yu gave her a hot bath, put her into comfortable clothes, and made a soft bed for her.Zhao Yu also sang children's songs to her and helped her fall asleep.

At night, the little girl always woke up after falling asleep and twitched uncontrollably.

"Dad, don't go~"

Zhao Yu was so distressed that he hugged him and patted him gently to sleep.

In the morning, when Zhu Qiqi woke up in Zhao Yu's arms, the guard in his eyes finally faded a little.The cleaned Zhu Qiqi looked like a porcelain doll, and there seemed to be a clear spring in her big eyes.

Xiaoyue went to buy candied haws on purpose.Unexpectedly, Xiao Qi's face turned pale when he saw the candied haws, and he refused to eat even breakfast.

It wasn't until noon, when Zhao Yu put a plate of white meat and a bowl of delicious rice in front of Zhu Qiqi, that she finally couldn't help it.The little girl picked up the rice bowl and picked half of it in one go, filling her whole mouth before stopping.

Just because she was in a hurry to eat, the poached meat was specially cooked until it was soft, and it was even torn into small pieces.Zhu Qiqi couldn't stop eating.

Lu Yuan and Zhao Yu watched quietly not far away, watching her like a withered bud blooming again.

"Master, madam." Zhu Qiqi put down his job and called out crisply.

Lu Yuan agreed with a smile, but Zhao Yu blushed a little.

"Although Xiao Qi can eat, he is very efficient at work." Zhu Qiqi rolled up his oversized cuffs and said, "You are good people, please don't sell me to others, okay?"

Zhao Yu's eyes were also red: "Okay. Xiaoqi, you won't go anywhere in the future, just stay here with us and be my daughter."

"Don't you lie?"

"Don't lie!"

Zhu Qiqi threw herself into Zhao Yu's arms like a baby swallow in the forest: "Mother!"

Then he looked at Lu Yuan again, wanting to call his father but couldn't.

Zhao Yu stroked her head and said, "Call me brother."

Zhu Qiqi was confused for a while, but still called Lu Yuan brother.

Lu Yuan agreed with a wry smile.It's not easy to finally have a peer in the east courtyard!
In fact, Lu Yuan and Zhao Yu could more or less understand that it would not be easy for Zhu Qiqi to say "father" again.

At the same time, in the city of Suzhou hundreds of miles away.The prince of Huainan suddenly invited all the city officials to dinner.

Prince Zhao's residence in the station for many days does not mean that he can be underestimated.Therefore, the invited officials, from the prefect of a county to the head of a county, all came.

The banquet was held in the small living room of the post station, and the officials didn't even have a seat, they were stuck together like sardines.Waiting anxiously.

Finally, Prince Zhao Xiao appeared on the stage, accompanied by a wretched little official with triangular eyes.County Magistrate Fan recognized him as City Patrol Envoy Liu Angxing, but not many others knew about it.

The current Liu Angxing is indeed himself, but wearing a human skin mask.He and Zhao Hao are now acting in their true colors.

Zhao Hao said with a smile: "My lords, I will treat you all to the specialties of Suzhou City today."

Suzhou specialty?

All the officials talked about it, some guessed it was crab shell yellow, some thought it was fresh meat moon cake.Just as everyone was discussing quietly, a strong rotten smell suddenly came.Several yamen servants who covered their faces with cloths brought in two large tanks and a large pile of sea bowls.

The official standing in the front row looked over and almost fainted.One tank was filled with turbid rotten vegetable soup, with suspicious black matter suspended on the surface; the other was filled with moldy rice that looked like a pile of sand.

Zhao Hao smiled and said: "Masters, please see, these are the latest meals for the people in the city. It is indeed a delicacy. You are welcome, come and enjoy it with the people, right?"

After speaking, he ordered all the officials to fill a bowl of rice, pour a large spoonful of vegetable leaf soup on it and give it to the prefect of Suzhou.All officials were treated equally, and everyone was given a big bowl.County magistrate Fan couldn't hold back, and almost vomited.

"How is it? This lunch is still rich? What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and eat!"

Officials, big and small, dare not speak out.

Because King Huainan was the most powerful vassal king in the Great Xia Dynasty, and the son of Prince Huainan was the most powerful prince in the Great Xia Dynasty. Fifteen years ago, because the emperor Zhao Jie had no heirs, Zhao Hao, the heir of the Prince of Huainan, was even sent to the palace and trained as a prince for a year. It was not until Zhao Jie's biological son Zhao Jiong was born a few years later that Zhao Hao was sent back to the Huainan Palace.

In other words, Zhao Hao was a man who almost became the crown prince.In order to compensate Zhao Hao, Emperor Zhao Jieke of the Great Xia Dynasty doted on him and turned him into a demon king.

"You don't want to eat, right? I will!" Zhao Hao took the bowl of gray-black rice and ate it with gusto.In fact, his bowl of rice was tampered with. It was just brown rice, which looked very similar to moldy rice.

The officials looked at each other in blank dismay, gritted their teeth and started eating.

As soon as the mouth was filled with the musty smell, everyone retched again and again, tears splashed, but they had to force themselves to swallow it.

"Okay!" Zhao Hao finished eating a bowl of rice, "Remember the taste of this meal! I don't care what method you use. Immediately improve the people's rations. The porridge sheds outside the city must also be opened immediately. How to rescue the disaster, Don’t need this prince to teach you.”

After finishing speaking, he pointed to Liu Angxing next to him and said: "Let me introduce to you again, this is Liu Angxing, the newly appointed City Patrol Envoy. He will patrol around these few days, and wherever he goes, he will feel like the prince himself. This kind of delicacy, he will definitely bring it back for everyone to taste."

Seeing the hateful gazes of all the officials, Liu Angxing felt a chill run down his spine.

Zhao Hao forced everyone to finish the rice before letting them go.Many officials vomited as soon as they walked out of the station, causing a mess on the street.During this meal, all the officials in the city remembered the name Liu Angxing.

After the people left, Liu Yunxing said to Zhao Hao with a grimace: "Brother Zhao, you have tricked me so hard. These people are already planning to kill me."

"Haha, brother, I'm helping you." Zhao Hao said with a smile, "There are many ways to get promoted. There is one kind of official who offends more people, the faster he gets promoted!"

"Die faster too!"

"Ah bah, you crow's mouth. I haven't had enough fun yet, so hurry up and switch with me. I'm going to patrol the city, sir."

"No, come again?!"

……

In the afternoon, the porridge shed at the west gate of Suzhou City reopened.Different from the past, today actually ten carts were pulled in and escorted by soldiers to the porridge shed.The soldiers opened the grain belt on the spot, revealing white rice!

The disaster victims clustered around the porridge shed suddenly stirred up.

When the first pot of rice-flavored rice porridge came out, the crowd was completely boiling.The soldiers beat and scolded repeatedly before forcing the victims to line up.

Zhu Liu waited in line for half an hour with Gou Sheng'er in his arms, and finally received half a can of porridge.He found a seat where there were few people, blew the porridge to cool down, and fed it to the dog leftover bit by bit.After so many days, I finally had a decent lunch.
