The Ming Dynasty: Starting with the Somersault Cloud, Old Zhu was so envious he cried!

After all that needs to be explained has been explained.

Li Fu then led his dozen or so thugs to the banquet venue at the city gate.

When they arrived at the destination, Li Fu couldn't help but twitch at the sight of the endless queue.

Okay, let's get in line.

This queue lasted for a full two hours.

Li Fu's legs went numb from standing, and his back ached. In his mind, he cursed the Sixth Prince's ancestors for eighteen generations.

Fortunately,

They were lucky.

When it was their turn,

Just then, the people at the previous table finished eating.

The yamen runners removed the empty plates and brought out a new table of food.

Steaming hot, with a wonderful aroma.

The thugs hired by the Li family plopped down on the stools, their eyes wide and mouths watering as they stared at the dazzling array of food on the table.

my darling!

What are all these things?!

Braised pork belly, sweet and sour fish, braised pork knuckle, poached chicken, steamed duck, Mapo tofu...

Plates were stacked one on top of another, bowls were placed side by side, steaming hot and fragrant.

The rich aroma of meat and vegetables wafted on the wind, filling everyone's noses.

"Glug—"

Someone swallowed hard.

Immediately afterwards—

"Glug, glug, glug..."

The sound of swallowing saliva rose and fell, forming a continuous chorus.

A thug with a fierce face stared intently at the braised pork on the table, his eyes glazed over, muttering to himself:

"My goodness..."

"What are all these things...?"

"It smells amazing..."

"With so much delicious food, even the emperor probably doesn't eat this much!"

Another thug beside him swallowed hard and echoed, "Of course!"

"When we serve the master, we usually only eat chicken, duck, and fish. We don't get to have so many different kinds of food."

"This Sixth Prince... he's way too rich!!"

Everyone nodded in agreement, rubbing their hands together, eager to pounce on the food and have a feast.

Seeing their greedy expressions, Li Fu's lips twitched, and he quickly whispered a reminder:

"Take it easy, all of you!"

"Don't forget why we're here!"

"Eat the package I gave you before you eat!"

"Did you hear me?!"

Although everyone was extremely hungry, they dared not disobey Li Fu and nodded in agreement.

"Understood, Master Fu!"

"Don't worry, we won't forget!"

Li Fu nodded, and then he felt a little relieved.

But looking at the steaming food on the table and smelling its enticing aroma, he couldn't help but swallow.

to be honest……

He wanted to eat it too!

He had never eaten anything so good in his entire life.

No wonder everyone wants to be emperor; it turns out the royal family eats so well!

In no time at all, all the dishes were served.

The constables glanced at it and shouted:

"Dinner's ready!"

The voice just fell,

The thugs' eyes lit up, and without saying a word, they immediately reached out to snatch it.

No need for chopsticks, just grab it with your hands!

however,

"Ahem!"

Li Fu coughed a few times and gave a signal with his eyes.

The meaning is clear: Don't forget what you guys came here for!

The outstretched hands of the crowd froze in mid-air.

They then realized that they weren't there to eat at the feast, but to do a mission!

The group exchanged glances, then withdrew their hands and reluctantly pulled out the package Li Fu had given them from their pockets.

He tore open the paper package, tilted his head back, and stuffed it all into his mouth.

Without using water, he chewed it a couple of times and swallowed it whole.

After finishing their meal, everyone turned to look at Li Fu.

His eyes seemed to say: "Uncle Fu, we've eaten, can we eat now?"

Li Fu nodded to himself, indicating that they could start eating.

After confirmation,

Everyone then turned around and looked at the food on the table.

Next second,

"Whoosh—"

The group pounced on the food on the table like hungry tigers.

"This braised pork is mine!"

"Don't grab it! I saw that fish first!"

"My pork knuckle! Who took my pork knuckle?!"

"What do you mean 'your'? If you call out to it, will it answer?"

Everyone scrambled for the chopsticks, which flew like afterimages. One person grabbed a piece, another snatched a chopstick, and no one would give way.

Some people felt that using chopsticks wasn't enough, so they reached out and grabbed a handful of braised pork, stuffing it into their mouths, eating until their mouths were greasy and even licking their fingers clean.

Some people even picked up a bowl of Mapo Tofu, tilted their heads back, and gulped it down into their mouths, only to be so spicy that they hissed and gasped for breath, yet couldn't stop eating it.

A thug with a fierce face grabbed a roast duck, took a big bite with a "crunch," and oil dripped down his chin.

He took a few bites before suddenly remembering that Li Fu was sitting right next to him.

So he quickly handed over the roast duck, saying indistinctly, "Uncle Fu...this duck is delicious, you eat first!"

Li Fu: "..."

He looked at the roast duck that the other party handed him, which had been gnawed beyond recognition and was covered with teeth marks and the thug's saliva.

Li Fu's lips twitched uncontrollably.

How am I supposed to eat this?!

He quickly waved his hand, refusing, "No need, no need, I've already eaten once."

"This time I've brought you here to complete the master's mission, so you can have this food."

Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"Then we won't stand on ceremony, Master Fu!"

"Master Fu is a true hero!"

Seeing this, everyone ate even more heartily, devouring the food like starving ghosts, and the dishes on the table disappeared at a visible speed.

at this time,

With a "click".

The pig's trotter that one of the thugs was gnawing on suddenly fell onto the table.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then turned to look at him.

The thug's face turned deathly pale instantly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He clutched his stomach tightly with both hands, his body trembling slightly, and he groaned in pain.

"Ouch...it hurts so much..."

"My stomach... my stomach hurts so much..."

Everyone: "..."

They were stunned for a moment, just about to ask what was going on.

however,

This was as if a switch had been flipped.

"Ah... my stomach hurts so much..."

"It hurts so much..."

"I...I'm starting to feel pain too..."

One, two, three...

Immediately afterwards, one after another, the thugs put down the food in their hands, clutched their stomachs, and groaned in pain.

Some were in so much pain that they lay on the table, some were squatting on the ground, and some were rolling on the ground, letting out piercing screams.

The scene was incredibly tragic.

One of the thugs, his face pale with pain, turned to look at Li Fu and asked with difficulty:

"Master Fu...Master Fu..."

"Didn't we take laxatives? Why does my stomach hurt so much?"

Li Fu, without batting an eye, said matter-of-factly, "Of course your stomach will hurt from taking laxatives. Haven't you ever had diarrhea before?"

The group exchanged glances, half believing and half doubting.

That seems to be the logic?

It's normal to have a stomachache after taking laxatives, isn't it?

however,

As time went on, everyone's stomach aches worsened, causing them excruciating pain and leaving them writhing on the ground.

at this time,

"puff--"

One of the thugs suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the table in front of him red.

Everyone: "..."

They all turned their heads in unison to look at the thug who was spitting blood, their faces filled with shock.

He vomited...vomited blood?!

One of the thugs suddenly turned to look at Li Fu, his voice trembling as he asked:

"Master Fu...Master Fu..."

"What... what's going on with this vomiting blood?"

Li Fu: "..."

He remained unfazed, calmly stating, "Isn't vomiting blood quite normal?"

"When I have nothing to do, I often play around by spitting blood."
