The fire in the courtyard was warm. Xu Chen tore off a shiny golden lamb leg from the barbecue rack and put it into his mouth to chew. His mouth was full of oil.
After finishing the heavy-flavored roasted whole lamb, he scooped out a few pieces of mutton from the clear soup pot. The two flavors alternated and collided back and forth in his mouth.
Although there were no rich sauces like those in the 21st century, with just some salt and some ordinary spices, the taste of these two sheep was definitely delicious!
After eating two lamb legs and a few pieces of mutton, and finally scooping up some lamb offal in the soup, Xu Chen's stomach was already round. At most, he could only drink a bowl of mutton soup before his stomach could no longer hold anything.
Xue Rengui, on the other hand, was still chomping down on a lamb leg in his left hand and a piece of mutton in his right. He didn't even have time to wipe the oil off his mouth as he continued to munch on the meat.
Not only did he eat a lot, but he also ate quickly! In less than an hour, the entire roasted lamb had been gnawed to the bone!
Burping, he turned his attention to the pot. He glanced at the mutton pot in the pot, then at Xu Chen who was resting on the haystack, and then at the mutton pot. His eyes were extremely conflicted...
Although he was already a little full, to be honest, he was still not satisfied.
"I can't eat anymore. Don't waste it. Eat as much as you can.”
Xu Chen stretched his body and burped comfortably.
To him, eating mutton was just to satisfy his appetite.
After tasting it, he lost interest. After all, whether it was in his previous life or this life, he had never felt hungry.
However, Xue Rengui was different. He was used to being hungry and was afraid of it! After eating this full meal, he did not know where the next meal would be! He would eat as much as he could. This was his true thought.
"Thank you, Mr. Xu…"
Xue Rengui couldn't help but feel touched when he heard this. Without saying anything, he sat on the edge of the big pot and scooped out all the mutton pieces. As he ate, tears involuntarily came out.
As he ate, he cried. As he cried, he ate. It was as if a storm had swept away the clouds. He had already swallowed all the mutton pieces into his stomach. He had also scooped up all the mutton offal and even f * cking drank a big mouthful of soup!
This time, his stomach finally swelled up and he could no longer eat. At the same time, he could no longer hold back his tears and began to wail.
"Poor child…"
Xu Chen shook his head and sighed.
Even in the Tang Dynasty, which was called the golden age in later generations, most of the people did not have enough to eat. Although it was much better than the chaotic era, it was definitely not happy.
What kind of happiness was it if he didn't have enough to eat or wear?
It seemed that if he wanted the people of the Great Tang to be happy, he had to develop the productive forces, and technology was the number one productive force!
Since he had the System and such a noble bloodline, he should not stand by and watch. He should vigorously develop the technology of the Great Tang.
Just as Xu Chen was thinking about it, Xue Rengui suddenly knelt down in front of Xu Chen and kowtowed three times in a row. Then, he stood up, wiped his tears, and said excitedly,"
"Mr. Xu, thank you for letting Rengui eat a full meal. I will never forget this meal! If you have any dirty work to do, just let Rengui do it. Forget about these, even if I have to go up a mountain of knives or down a sea of fire, I won't blink!”
The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid with a spring! Not to mention the kindness of giving a sheep? He had never felt such warmth from Xu Chen before. Xu Chen treated him like a father treating his son. He was touched.
"Oh? Really?"
Xu Chen stood up and looked at Xue Rengui, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked with a smile.
This was the result he wanted! This kid was honest. He was willing to go through fire and water for her just by treating her to a full meal. Such a hero was really rare. Once she saw one, she should nurture one.
"As long as Mr. Xu doesn't mind, Rengui is willing to follow you to the death!”
Xue Rengui kneeled on the ground, his eyes staring straight at Xu Chen as he spoke in a sonorous and forceful voice.
His intuition told him that Mr. Xu Chen was definitely a person worthy of loyalty. A good bird chooses a tree to rest in. Xu Chen was his choice!
"Good! In that case, I will take you in as my disciple and teach you the art of war. In the future, you will serve the country and protect the Great Tang, understand?”
Xu Chen ordered with a serious expression.
He originally wanted to take Xue Rengui as his general, but that would make the difference between superiority and inferiority too obvious. It was better to take him as a disciple.
This was his first disciple. He had to forge her into a peerless unpolished jade!
"Master, please accept my bow!”
When Xue Rengui heard the words " peerless martial arts and military tactics ", a look of surprise flashed across his eyes. Without any hesitation, he bowed his head and kowtowed seriously, as if he was on a pilgrimage.
"Mm, alright. My sect doesn't have any complicated etiquette. This is enough. Now that we're master and disciple, if anyone bullies you in the future, just tell me.”
Xu Chen nodded in satisfaction and casually ordered,
"Go and tidy up the courtyard. Stay here for the day. If you need anything, just tell Master.”
"Yes, sir!"
Xue Rengui didn't say anything else and started to get busy in the yard. He first washed the barbecue rack and the big pot and put them away. He threw the sheep bones on the ground to feed the neighbor's dog. Then, he cleaned the yard, sorted out the wool, and cleaned the house.
The entire courtyard was brand new!
The more Xu Chen looked at it, the more satisfied he was. With Xue Rengui as a free laborer, he could finally get rid of the complicated housework.
How awesome!
That night, an extra bed and blanket were arranged in the room for Xue Rengui to settle down.
After a while, Xue Rengui suddenly sat up in the darkness and said,"
"Master, what are we doing tomorrow?”
"We'll talk about it tomorrow. Sleep first."
He replied with an 'oh'. After a while, he said again,
"Then Master, if the sheep is gone, what are we going to eat tomorrow?”
"I'll read it tomorrow. Go to sleep!"
Xue Rengui replied with an 'oh' again. After a while, he spoke again! He asked weakly,
"Then Master, tomorrow…can I eat my fill?”
Xu Chen was speechless.
"Sleep! If you don't sleep, I won't give you food tomorrow!!”
With Xu Chen's roar, the world finally became quiet. The two of them quickly fell asleep.
As Xue Rengui slept, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a smile, as if he had a good dream…
