Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 44 Why do you only scoop half a bowl of rice?

"These people, don't look at the half bowl of rice, it's actually to eat more!" Lao Zhong shook his head, pointed to the men not far away who were holding huge sea bowls and said with a wry smile: "Young master, you don't know something. It would be nice for these people to drink a bowl of vegetable porridge in the morning. It would be strange if they are full!"

Why is this half bowl of rice less than a full bowl of rice?Zhang Yi was surprised, did he only serve half a bowl of rice or did he want to eat more?

Seeing that Zhang Yi didn't understand, Lao Zhong got acquainted and said: "The main reason for eating half a bowl of rice first is to eat quickly. After finishing the bowl quickly, we can go to the pot and fill the second bowl!"

As the saying goes, one and a half children have already finished the rice in the bowl, and ran to the side of the rice pot happily, holding the spoon and stuffing the brown rice inside into his bowl, not only stuffing it, but also using force He kept pressing down, until the sea bowls were piled up to the point and could no longer hold it, and then he ran back to the stone slab with broth and continued to eat with a group of people.

Zhang Yi's eyes were about to pop out. Previously, he thought that people filled half a bowl because he couldn't eat it or was out of politeness, but then he thought that everyone was starving to death!
The sea bowl with a big head is still stuffed hard. Aren't these bastards afraid of eating?
Just as he was about to ask Lao Zhong if he didn't have enough food, many men who finished the first bowl rushed to the rice cooker to add more food one after another.

Although these people were being cautious, Zhang Yi found that they all followed a rule, that is, everyone must eat the last grain of rice in the bowl before getting up, from the old to the young and even women and children. Without exception.Among the group of people squatting in front of them, there were only a few bites left in the bowls, but before they finished eating, even though they wanted to get up very much, they still waited until they swallowed the last rice grains in the bowls.

It's a good thing to obey the rules even if you can't afford to eat. Being able to stick to your heart proves that these people are good people, at least they are good people before they turn bad.

"Master, have you seen it? These people are very smart! Look later, if there is any leftover food in the pot, those women who cook will secretly take the leftovers back to those who failed to serve at home. Workers eat!"

"Is there any food left here?" Zhang Yi asked suspiciously.

The floor was full of sweat, and even half-grown hairy kids ate more than Zhang Yi. He didn't believe that there would be leftover rice in the pot after these guys were full.

"Others don't have it, but ours definitely has it!" As he spoke, Lao Zhong's chest couldn't help puffing up, and he said proudly: "Yesterday, the old lady told the farmers that the rice must be full, and all the rice in our family It’s white and clean double-steamed brown rice, not even a little bran mixed in, you don’t know that we’re the only one in Jingyang!”

Zhang Yi did not expect that an old lady in her 70s and [-]s would have such long-sightedness. This is simply buying people's hearts!

What do farmers want most?It's just a full stomach!Not to mention young and strong, even those old men and old ladies who walk tremblingly can come to the construction site to have a full stomach. This is benevolence!In the morning, he still wondered that even a half-grown child worked so hard, so it was all for a full meal!
Human hearts are undoubtedly the best thing in this era, because with human hearts, as long as you have something, you can respond to everything.

Just like Liu Bang was born as a pavilion chief back then, but he finally rebelled because of his good reputation of benevolence. It seems to be very easy to open a cheating plug-in.

Just watching others eat the rice in my bowl is cold, because of the broth, a layer of lard has quickly condensed on it, throwing the rice bowl to Lao Zhong, there is no way to eat it, it would be good to get acquainted with the environment of.

After patting the dust off his buttocks, Zhang Yi prepared to observe from a distance how those women stole the leftover rice home.

Of course, such things as peeping must be done quietly. If you know that your master is planning to arrest you, who would dare to do it?
It wasn't until the last big-bellied man dug the last mouthful of rice into his mouth and announced that there would be no more rice, the women by the stove smiled.Then three of the women quickly ran to the distance, one of the remaining women pretended to be nonchalant and got up to inspect slowly, and the rest began to get busy.

They first gathered the rice in each pot, and then divided them into several rice balls according to the number of people, covered them with pot lids, and started busy cleaning the surrounding area.

Soon the women who went to the woods came back with several huge lotus leaves. At this time, an old woman took out a large handful of straw from her pocket and used the rice balls covered in the pot one by one. The lotus leaves are wrapped and distributed to each woman.

However, just as the old lady was about to put her share into her chest, her face suddenly changed, and then the lotus leaf in her hand went 'pop! ' fell to the ground with a bang.

The lotus leaf bag instantly fell apart, and the white rice grains spilled all over the ground.
"My lord, I. We..." The old woman knelt down towards Zhang Yi with a plop, and she couldn't say a word for a long time.

Seeing the Grand Master approaching, the other women's faces turned pale in shock, and all of them felt ashen-faced like a thunderbolt, and knelt down one after another.

Steal is definitely a derogatory term!In the criminal law, there are clauses that theft is not allowed to receive fifty lashes, sixty rods per foot, one plus one grade, one year for five horses, one plus one grade for five horses, and one plus service for fifty horses. Severity of sin!What's more, the thief is still a woman. If this is the case, she will not abide by women's morals, lose her morality, and her reputation will be ruined throughout her life!
Such women, especially in the countryside, often have only one end—divorce!
It is conceivable that after an old woman is divorced, her husband’s family will be abandoned, her mother’s family will be difficult to return to, and her relatives will have no one to rely on. She will also endure countless pointing and staring.

"It's shameful to waste food!" Seeing the rice grains on the ground, Zhang Yi's face quickly darkened, and he opened his mouth to yell at the old woman: "Why throw the best food on the ground? I think you are also from a peasant family. As the saying goes, one porridge and one meal, when thinking about it is hard-won; half a thread, half a thread, constant memory and material resources are struggling, although these are leftovers, don’t you know how to take them home for the elderly and children to eat?

I don't know how to cherish blessings after living so long!If you let Sir next time I see you throwing food around, you won't use it! "
