Chapter 64
dinner's ready!

Zhang Fantong lifted his spirits and turned his head to look around.

Not far away, several cooks came over carrying a large tank.

Immediately afterwards, a strong fragrance wafted over, it smelled indescribably good!

"Is there any meat today?"

"It's delicious!"

"I don't know if we can share a bite."

The soldiers gathered together, looking at the big vat, their eyes gleaming.

Most of the people who joined the new army were poor people.

Let alone eating meat on weekdays, it smells like a luxury.

Smelling the aroma of meat, they swallowed their saliva one by one.

The cook stood by the big vat, holding a spoon, and said loudly: "One piece for each person, don't grab it!"

The voice fell.

Everyone was startled for a moment, then their eyes widened.

Is this meat for them? !

Happiness comes too suddenly.

Everyone stood there, looking at each other, unable to believe it for a while.

at this time.

The captain came over and said loudly, "Take the bowl and line up! Everyone has it!"

The voice fell.

It took a while for the soldiers to react.

This stew is really reserved for them!

"Joining the new army, you can still eat meat, that's great!"

The soldiers looked excited, picked up the bowls, and lined up.

During this period of training, they have developed a habit.

Nothing can happen, as long as you hear the order to queue up, you must stand in line immediately.

No one jumped in line in the entire school grounds, it seemed orderly.

After a stick of incense.

Zhang Fantong received a piece of meat and three cornbreads, and returned to his seat to sit down.

Smell the meat in the bowl.

He closed his eyes unconsciously, feeling that there is nothing happier than this in the world.

aside.

Seeing this scene, a young man said with disdain: "Look at your little promise, isn't it just a piece of meat, as for it!"

Zhang Fantong scratched his head, and said a little embarrassedly: "This is the first time for me to eat meat."

Hearing this, the young man was even more disdainful:

"Just like you, don't even think about eating two dishes in this life."

The young man's name is Liu Yi, and he used to sell food in Chang'an, so he was considered well-off.

Later, because of the government's rectification of grain merchants, his business plummeted.

In the end, he fell to the point where he had nowhere to go.

There is no way but to join the new army and get a full stomach.

Because of this, he was the one who complained the most and had the most resentment among the group.

He has nowhere to vent his anger on weekdays, so he treats his good-tempered Zhang Fantong as a punching bag, ridiculing him from time to time.

Zhang Fantong was not a fool, he knew that Liu Yi was bullying him.

But to him, a few words of cynicism are nothing, as long as he can stay in the new army, he can bear anything.

No matter what Liu Yi said, he just laughed it off.

"idiot!"

Seeing Zhang Fantong's smile, Liu Yi felt even more annoyed, and said angrily, "Do you really think that if you can eat three meals a day, it's considered a fairy life?"

Zhang Fantong nodded and said, "Yes."

Liu Yidao: "Then do you know, who gave these meals?"

Zhang Fantong thought for a while and said, "Your Excellency."

Although he has never met the prime minister.

But the military men all said that their food, clothing, housing and transportation are all paid by the prime minister.

They train to fight.

The war is for the prime minister.

Then, these meals are naturally given by the prime minister.

Liu Yi looked at him and asked again: "Then do you know what kind of food the prime minister eats on weekdays?"

Zhang Fantong shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"Tell you, compared with the prime minister, what we eat is not even pig food!"

"That's it, you are still grateful to others, just like a dog, a born slave!"

Liu Yi's tone was full of sarcasm.

The voice fell.

Everyone looked at him together with anger on their faces.

If it weren't for the strict discipline of the new army, which doesn't allow fighting, they must have been beaten by this kid until their own mother didn't even know it!
Zhang Fantong, who has always been good-tempered, changed his expression when he heard this.

He looked at Liu Yi with a cold tone: "I don't know what the Prime Minister eats, but I do know that before I came here, I could only eat two meals a day, and I could only eat one cornbread per meal.

After coming here, I can eat three meals a day, and I can eat three steamed buns for one meal. I have only been here for a month, and I can still eat meat. These are all given by the prime minister."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Yi.

"Given by the prime minister? Ridiculous!"

"What do you think you are! A lackey! Then you have to stand in front of the master and work hard!"

"A piece of meat and a few cornbreads can buy your life, why are you so cheap!"

Speaking of which.

Liu Yi thought of his own food business again. He was doing well, but somehow he was seized.

The capital accumulated over the years was lost overnight.

Originally, in another two years, he would be able to buy a house in Chang'an Mansion, but now it's a good thing to squeeze together with this group of Qiuba and eat this shit!

I have to listen to those running dogs, the school captain, brainwashing them all day long, telling some bullshit about how good the prime minister is, and how wonderful the prime minister is!
If he hadn't paid off his debts, he wouldn't have stayed in this damn place no matter what!
The more Liu Yi thought about it, the more angry he became, and couldn't help but yell: "What a shit prime minister! If it wasn't for him! We wouldn't have fallen to this point!"

"I collect grain, sell grain, and clearly mark the price. What's wrong with selling it for three times! It's my freedom to sell it ten times, or a hundred times! Why should he control it!"

As soon as this word comes out.

The people around stood up abruptly, surrounded him, and said angrily:
"Dog thing, try to curse again!"

Not just them.

Zhang Fantong, who had always been good-tempered and would never fight back when he was beaten or scolded, also stood up quickly.

His eyes became red with anger, he stared at Liu Yi, and said angrily:

"You can scold me, but you can't scold the prime minister! If there is no prime minister, I'm still hungry!"

When Liu Yi heard this, he was about to retort when he suddenly saw a group of big men gathered beside him, all staring at him with angry eyes.

In an instant, he knew that he had offended everyone.

Cowardly, showing a flattering smile, said:

"I just said it casually, everyone, don't worry, wait for the salary to be paid, and treat the brothers to eat meat."

"Who cares about your broken flesh! Apologize to the prime minister!"

Everyone stared at Liu Yi and said angrily.

Apologize to him?

Lao Tzu's business of tens of taels of incense sticks was ruined by him, why didn't he apologize to Lao Tzu!

Liu Yi thought of everything he had experienced during this period, and his stubborn temper also came up, and he said unconvinced: "I didn't say anything, why should I apologize!"

Seeing his arrogance, everyone was even angrier, but there was nothing they could do about him.

After all, the New Army expressly forbids gathering crowds to fight, and offenders will be punished with ten military sticks, or expelled from the New Army.

They were all poor people who had left the new army and couldn't find a better job than this.

No one would take that risk for a few words.

The reason why Liu Yi dared to say that was because he was sure of their mentality.

See no one speaks.

There was disdain on his face, and he said sarcastically, "I won't apologize, what can you guys do to me!"

The voice just fell.

I heard an angry shout!

"I can beat you!"
