My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 4236 Relative Fairness

"Father, what are you looking at?"

The little cutie looked at Young Master Liu, who had turned around beside her, and couldn't help but ask softly.

Hearing his beloved daughter's question, which was both puzzled and slightly curious, Liu Mingzhi smiled and gently placed the chopsticks in his left hand on the dining table in front of him.

Immediately, he counted out ten spiced almonds and peach kernels from his right palm, and then handed the remaining peach kernels and almonds to the little cutie.

“My dear daughter, let me check where the soldiers are now so I can distribute the dishes on the table to them.”

Seeing this, the little cutie readily accepted the few almonds and peach kernels handed to her by her father, and the look of doubt on her beautiful face instantly deepened.

"What? You're going to serve the food to the soldiers around you?"

"Yes, that's right. I'm going to share our food with the soldiers around us."

Hearing Young Master Liu's calm reply, the little cutie subconsciously glanced down at the eight dishes on the table, then quickly looked around at the hundreds of Dragon Warriors eating lunch, her slender waist barely a handful could be twisted.

"Good father, well, not counting the food that was brought in later, there were only eight dishes in total, but there were hundreds of soldiers in the mess hall."

A mere eight dishes, yet it has to be compared to hundreds of others.

So, Father, how do you plan to distribute these eight dishes to the soldiers around us?

If the dishes were distributed equally among the soldiers, there wouldn't be enough for each soldier to have a bite.

However, dear father, it would be very unfair if you deliberately distributed these dishes only to the soldiers at a few tables.

"Good father, it wouldn't be right to give this to anyone, but it wouldn't be appropriate to leave it unrewarded."

After raising his eyebrows slightly and chuckling a few times, Liu Mingzhi casually clasped his hands together.

"Hahaha, my good daughter, I have my own way of distributing the food fairly to the soldiers."

Compared to Xiao Ke'ai's curiosity, Zheng Jizhong and his group couldn't help but frown slightly after hearing what Young Master Liu said.

Zheng Jizhong took a deep breath silently, and with a conflicted expression, he quickly raised his hands and gently cupped them in a respectful gesture towards Young Master Liu.

“Your Majesty, your old ministers and brothers have prepared very little food and wine for you and Her Highness the Princess. It’s one thing that you wouldn’t let your brothers add a few more good dishes, but why do you have to share the dishes that have already been prepared with your brothers…”

Before Zheng Jizhong could finish speaking, Liu Mingzhi interrupted him with a smile.

"General, I've already made up my mind to distribute the food to the soldiers around us, so there's no need for you to try to persuade me any further."

Liu Mingzhi spoke with great certainty, his tone conveying an unquestionable air.

When Zheng Jizhong saw that Young Master Liu spoke with such certainty, he hesitated for a moment, then could only nod silently.

"Yes, I understand."

Seeing this situation, Zhang Yao and his group all quietly swallowed the words of advice that were about to come out of their mouths.

Even the advice of the old general Zheng Jizhong has been directly rejected by His Majesty, so why should his brothers and others make a fool of themselves?
Immediately afterwards, their eyes became curious.

Like the little cutie, they were all very curious about how Young Master Liu would distribute the food to the soldiers around him.

Under the curious gazes of Xiao Ke'ai, Zheng Jizhong, and the others, Liu Mingzhi held ten spiced almonds and peach kernels in his palms and shook them rapidly as if he were shaking dice.

Immediately afterwards, he threw the almonds and peach kernels in his hands at the two chopsticks on the table in front of him.

After a dozen or so crisp clinking sounds, the ten almonds and peach kernels scattered haphazardly around the two chopsticks.

Liu Mingzhi glanced down at the almonds and peach kernels next to the two chopsticks, then looked up with a smile at Zheng Jizhong and his group.

"Sanlin, Shaoguang, you two brothers should deliver the cold braised beef and the braised pork with preserved vegetables to the brothers at the sixth table from the south on the left and the second table from the south on the right, respectively."

Zhihai, Chenyang, you two take the stewed pheasant with mushrooms and the braised fish to the fourteenth table from the east behind you…

In just a few breaths, Young Master Liu had already distributed six dishes, three jars of fine wine, and more than half a bamboo basket of steamed buns.

At this point, only two dishes remained out of the original eight dishes (six meat and two vegetable): braised giraffe meat and cold seaweed salad.

As for the remaining two dishes, cold seaweed salad and braised giraffe meat, Young Master Liu did not intend to distribute them to the soldiers.

The reason is...!

Very simple.

This was because one of the dishes was already served to all the soldiers, while the other was something he had never tasted before.

He had never tasted braised giraffe meat, not even if it was just cured meat that had been marinated for a long time!

Humans are naturally curious, and they want to try any flavor they haven't tasted before.

When Xiao Ke'ai, Zheng Jizhong, and the others saw Young Master Liu, he only glanced down at the location of the peach kernels and apricot kernels before distributing all six dishes, three jars of fine wine, and most of a bamboo basket of white steamed buns. Instantly, they all looked down with curiosity at the two chopsticks and ten apricot kernels and apricot kernels on the table in front of Young Master Liu.

At this moment, whether it was Xiao Ke'ai or Zheng Jizhong and his group, they were all very curious about what kind of mystery lay behind this.

Before long, Xiao Ke'ai, Zheng Jizhong, and the others suddenly realized what was happening and withdrew their gazes.

After carefully examining the placement of the two chopsticks and the scattered peach kernels and apricot kernels, Xiao Ke'ai and Zheng Jizhong quickly understood the trick.

No wonder Young Master Liu was looking around the dining hall earlier.

It turns out that Liu Mingzhi used the dining hall as a chessboard, two chopsticks as boundaries, and the scattered positions of ten peach kernels and apricot kernels as the basis for determining how to distribute the dishes, wine, and steamed buns to the soldiers at that table.

The little cutie gently pursed her luscious cherry lips twice, smiling as she turned her gaze from the two chopsticks and the peach and almond kernels to Young Master Liu.

“Father, there are only two chopsticks and ten peach kernels and apricot kernels on the dining table, while there are hundreds of soldiers in the dining hall.”

If we simply use these two chopsticks and ten almonds and peach kernels to distribute the food to all the soldiers, that would not be fair!

At the very least, the soldiers positioned in the middle and corners will definitely suffer.

Upon hearing his beloved daughter's slightly amused words, Liu Mingzhi instantly turned to look at his little darling with feigned annoyance.

"You brat, there's no such thing as absolute fairness in this world!"
Sometimes, achieving relative fairness in certain matters is already quite difficult. Let alone dividing the dishes into six, even sixty or six hundred dishes, you still can't achieve absolute fairness.

The dishes I just divided out included both meat and vegetables.

Different dishes are unfair, and different portions are also unfair.

Right now, unless your father can conjure up hundreds of identical dishes out of thin air and distribute them equally among all the brothers in the canteen.

Otherwise, the distribution of food to the soldiers would never be fair.

My dear daughter, if you think you can divide the food equally among all the soldiers, then I will now entrust the task of dividing the food to you.

So, are you confident about this?

Upon hearing his father's sarcastic remark at the end, the little cutie chuckled softly with a resentful expression.

As the saying goes, a person should know their own limitations. She didn't think she was more capable than her father.

Just as my own stinky old man just said, there is no such thing as absolute fairness in this world.

Even with his amazing father's abilities, if he can't do something, then naturally I can't either.

"Hehehe, hehe~ hehehehehe."

"Oh dear, dear father, look at you! I was just asking you a question casually, why are you taking it so seriously?"

Liu Mingzhi casually picked up two chopsticks from the table, then gathered the scattered peach kernels and apricot kernels to the corner of the table and put them down.

Finally, as he gently wiped the chopsticks in his hand with a piece of toilet paper, he raised his eyes with a slight frown and glanced at Lü Sanlin and his brothers.

"What the hell are you all standing there for? Hurry up and start serving the food to the brothers!"
"What? Are you waiting for me to personally serve the food to the brothers?"

Upon hearing what Young Master Liu said, Lü Sanlin and his brothers all nodded vigorously at him in unison.

"Yes, we obey."

As soon as the words left their mouths, the group immediately reached out and picked up the dishes on the table, grabbed the wine jars on the corner of the table, picked out five or six white steamed buns, and then picked up the bamboo baskets containing the white steamed buns and scattered.

Immediately afterwards, they started shouting loudly.

"Brothers, all of you who are having lunch in the mess hall now, His Majesty appreciates your hard work in training the troops every day, so he has instructed this general..."

"Bros……"

Amidst the loud shouts of Lü Sanlin and his group, the somewhat noisy sounds in the canteen gradually quieted down.

Although the words shouted by the brothers and others were not the same, the meaning they expressed was largely the same.

That is, Emperor Liu Mingzhi knew that it was not easy for them to train in battle formations every day, so he distributed the lunch that his brothers and others had specially prepared for him and the princess to the soldiers who were eating around them in a very fair way.

Soldiers who were fortunate enough to receive wine, food, and steamed buns should not be arrogant, and those who did not receive wine, food, and steamed buns should not be unhappy.

In no time, hundreds of Dragon Warriors in the mess hall stood up from the benches.

Immediately, whether the soldiers had received wine, food, and steamed buns or not, they all bowed deeply to Young Master Liu and his daughter, Little Cutie, with fervent expressions.

"We thank Your Majesty, we thank Your Highness the Princess. Long live the Emperor! Long live the Princess!"

Upon seeing this, Liu Mingzhi stood up with a smile and gently waved to the hundreds of soldiers around him.

"Brothers, sit down, sit down, eat, keep eating."

"We obey your command."

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

With a soft clattering sound as their armor clashed, hundreds of the Great Dragon soldiers sat back down on the benches behind them.

After Liu Mingzhi sat down again with his smile unchanged, he didn't wait for Lü Sanlin and his brothers to distribute food to the soldiers around him. He directly reached into the bamboo basket next to him and picked up a large steamed bun made from two kinds of dough.

"Moon, General, brothers, let's start eating! Everyone, start eating now!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ke'ai, Zheng Jizhong, and the others picked up their chopsticks and, like Young Master Liu, reached for a large steamed bun made from two different doughs.

Seeing this, Liu Mingzhi chuckled and gently placed a piece of braised giraffe meat on the steamed bun in his hand.

"Moon, General, one of you has never experienced hardship, and the other is getting old. These few white steamed buns are specially reserved for you."

You two don't need to follow my lead and eat the same kind of steamed buns as me.

It's just lunch, there's really no need to make such a fuss.

Upon hearing Liu Mingzhi's words, Xiao Ke'ai and Zheng Jizhong nodded slightly with a smile, while Xiao Ke'ai nodded vigorously with a face full of emotion.

"Yes, Yue'er understands."

"Yes, I understand, I understand."

"Your Majesty, we've been talking for so long, the food is almost cold. Please eat quickly!"

"Hahahaha, old general, brothers, together, together."

We're in a military camp, so when we eat, we're all about getting it over with quickly, and there's no need for any formalities between us.

"Eat, eat."

As soon as Liu Mingzhi finished speaking, without waiting for anyone's reply, he lowered his head slightly and took a bite of the braised giraffe meat that had been sitting on top of the steamed bun, his eyes filled with anticipation.

After taking a bite of the braised venison, he couldn't help but furrow his brow slightly.
