Another World Da Ming: I use a hundred lives to become holy

"Is this what the laborers eat?"

Zhao Zheng walked to the pot where the rice was served and took a fancy to the food in the pot.

"Where's the vegetables?"

Zhao Zhengwen asked the cook who was responsible for distributing meals. Tu Jie and Li Dong behind him did not dare to interrupt at all and could only wink wildly.

Just signal to the cook to answer directly and don't hide anything.

When the cook saw this, he could only give a nonsensical reply.

"Go back to Mr. Zhao, the food is also in there."

The cook took his big spoon and swung it hard in the pot a few times, turning over the rice with yellow husk.

Finally, while rummaging through the rice, he found a few green vegetable leaves.

A few vegetable leaves.

Zhao Zheng's brows furrowed as he looked at it, but he didn't get angry.

"Isn't there any oil or water?"

He just asked about the cook again.

When the cook heard the word "oil and water", he became nervous instantly and could only look at Tu Jie and Li Dong again.

Tu Jie and Li Dong still motioned for him to continue and there was no need to hide anything.

The cook could only stir up the pot again.

But how can there be oil and water in the meals that are made through layers of deductions and reductions?

He could only keep digging deeper into the pot, piling the food to the edge of the pot.

Then wait.

It wasn't until the oil at the bottom of the pot finally accumulated and a little bit of the oily color showed up that I finally dared to answer.

"Master Zhao, this...this is oil."

At this time, the old laborer who was asked by Zhao Zheng before looked nervously into the pot and spoke.

"Master Zhao, we are satisfied with these meals."

When Zhao Zheng heard this, he immediately turned his head and looked at Tu Jie. He was relieved when he saw that there was no coercion from them.

"As long as the folks think it's good."

It's enough.

These five words echoed in Zhao Zheng's mind for a long time.

Compared to the days long ago when there was no food at all.

This meal is free.

There is still a sheen of oil at the bottom of the food.

The people doing the labor at the scene were really satisfied.

only……

"Master Zhao, with the supervision of the lower officials, this pot of food is definitely not much different from the standards issued by the imperial court."

"I dare to issue an order!"

At this time, Tu Jie made another noise in front of the people present.

Zhao Zheng glanced at him and finally nodded.

Tu and Li finally put their hearts in their stomachs.

Originally, there was still profit and water under the layers of deductions, which proves a situation.

It’s just that there’s simply not much money to be greedy for.

Otherwise, someone will only be more ruthless.

Just like if there is 100 million in front of you and you can take it casually, everyone will definitely take all 100 million directly.

But if there are only a few steel coins and three or two cents in front of you, no one may even take them.

……

"Give me a bowl."

Zhao Zheng still extended his hand.

He finally got down to business, cooking.

Just for everyone at the scene to hear these words and watch his actions, they were touched again.

Would adults eat such a meal?

The cook selected the most complete bowl.

The old farmer from before, seeing that Zhao Zheng's attention was not on him, pointed in the direction of the vegetable leaves in the rice.

In this pot of rice, the most delicious bowl of food was delivered to Zhao Zheng.

The chopsticks haven't been brought yet, but Zhao Zheng looked at the care and concern on the face of the old farmer who was responsible for delivering the rice, and then looked at the food in the bowl that clearly had a seriously imbalanced ratio of vegetables to rice, and he didn't want the chopsticks anymore.

In front of everyone present, he grabbed the bowl of food with his hands.

This kind of food without oil and water will make people's throat very difficult to swallow.

If he didn't have a little water, even Zhao Zheng would probably choke if he ate in a hurry.

But when Zhao Zheng tasted it, even the taste of a little oil at the bottom of the bowl was so delicious.

Occasionally, it seems like a surprise to eat a little bit of vegetable sticks.

"Master Zhao, why don't you just stop eating."

"You haven't checked the food that the craftsmen eat."

Tu Jie spoke again at this time and pointed to the craftsman's rice pot on the side to Zhao Zheng.

Li Dong also nodded quickly.

The craftsman's side is slightly better, and they can feel a little more at ease. Otherwise, if Zhao Zheng gets a stomachache, it will be difficult for them.

The laborers on the scene nodded when they saw this.

"Yes, Mr. Zhao, our tongues are thick and our throats are calloused. You have more important things to do, but you like to eat this kind of food, so don't let us snatch it all."

"Hahaha!"

In the crowd, someone's mind was spinning quickly, causing a burst of laughter.

But Zhao Zheng still insisted on swallowing all the food in the bowl before walking towards the craftsmen again.

"Don't worry, folks. I have a small appetite, so I'll just eat this bowl. You go ahead!"

The laborers finally felt relieved and lined up again.

"By the way, you two remember to ask the cook to add more salt to it later."

When he walked to the pot where the craftsmen's food was distributed, Zhao Zhengcai stopped greeting the fellow villagers before.

He told Tu and Li about the shortcomings of the bowl of rice he had eaten earlier.

Li Dong quickly wrote it down with a smile, but felt bitter in his heart.

Add more salt, that thing is the most valuable.

He probably had to take out the little money that he had put in his pocket before.

There wasn’t much to begin with…

Why am I so unlucky to be at the center of this cross railway?

In the end, Tu Jie gave him a few looks to tell him not to keep that pouty expression on his face.

"Master Li, Master Zhao didn't get angry and say more, that means we did a good job."

"If this is reported to the emperor, won't we get enough benefits by then? Don't let the small gain lead to the big loss."

Yes, when I returned to the court, even if I asked the historian to dig out the books of past dynasties, I couldn't find such good treatment. You must know that this is the treatment of labor!

A little further back in time, the treatment of laborers was only available to craftsmen.

I have been praised by the adults from the Holy Palace, so I will not be promoted in the future!

Li Dong's eyes lit up.

Suddenly it didn't feel so uncomfortable.

"Sir, would you like a bowl of the craftsmen's meal?"

"Xia Guan has also eaten the food here, and it tastes pretty good."

Tu Jie had already gone to Zhao Zheng's side and said good things.

In this regard, Li Dong is directly behind, I don't know how many generations.

"Have you eaten too?"

Zhao Zheng was a little surprised by this and looked at him, but then he thought of Tu Jie's performance when he came out from the east.

"Then I don't need to eat."

"Keep playing."

"By the way, you're not too hungry now, are you?"

"Not hungry, not hungry!"

This time, Li Dong finally intervened.

Even if he is really hungry, he can only say that he is not hungry.

He had been brainwashed by Tu Jie's previous words.

I think that when the time comes, I will definitely leave a good impression on the emperor.

"Then go and see the scene."
