Chapter 860 Even eating and taking



Chapter 860 Even eating and taking

The expression was no worse than when he drank the Bamboo Leaf Green.

Zhou Guo ate two in one go. Seeing that they hadn't finished half of it yet, he realized belatedly that he seemed to have eaten too fast.

She finished a crab in just a few bites. Shouldn't she eat slower? Otherwise, these people will misunderstand her.

Lord Lu noticed her gaze and said with a smile, "Sorry to make you laugh, Master Zhou. We have never eaten such delicious food, so it is inevitable that we eat slowly."

Lord Cheng and Lord Wu were busy talking, but they could nod.

Zhou Guo looked down at the pile of shells on his plate and said self-deprecatingly, "Compared to the adults, I am the one who has never eaten anything good. I finished a crab in just a few bites. If I were eating out, I would definitely be laughed at. Fortunately, the adults are generous and tolerant and can tolerate my eating habits."

Master Chen ate a leg and raised his head and said, "Look at what you said. It's a blessing to be able to eat a big meal. This crab is so expensive. You are much more blessed than us to be able to eat like you. Most people envy you. I envy you very much."

Who wouldn’t envy eating meat with big mouthfuls?

She smiled, and realized that Mr. Chen was also a foodie. He said this sincerely, and the envy in his eyes was almost overflowing.

She said, "There are still a few in the pond. I'll give you a basket when you leave."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two people who were eating hard looked up.

She smiled, "Of course, we definitely have them all. We can still get enough if everyone has one basket."

Only one basket can be delivered per person. There are not many crabs in the pond. If all are delivered, what will she eat later?

Seeing that the crabs on the plate were almost finished, Zhou Guo signaled the people below to bring a few more plates.

Several people stared at the crabs for a long time without saying anything.

Zhou Guo smiled, "There's more in the kitchen. It's rare for adults to come to my place. If there's not enough wine, I still have to make sure they have enough crabs."

Lord Chen no longer ate slowly this time. He imitated Zhou Guo and ate very heartily.

But this is not very heroic. If there is any meat that cannot be eaten cleanly in the middle, you still have to chew it carefully again until you are sure there is no meat left.

Zhou Guo stopped eating after he ate eight crabs. He had been eating this thing every few days these days, and it wasn’t as rare as it was at the beginning.

On the contrary, the other dishes on the table were also good, including lamb trotters, shrimps, braised fish, braised shark fins, and crab meat and lion's head...

Each one was delicious.

She was particularly fond of the crab meat and lion's head, and said to the three people: "My lords, this lion's head is also very good, you should try it."

The three of them nodded, "Of course, of course."

He agreed nicely, but just wouldn't eat.

Zhou Guo ignored them and started eating slowly with rice.

By the time she had eaten her fill, half of the dishes on the table had been eaten, and the second round of crabs on the table was finally finished.

Several people patted their stomachs and wiped their mouths with handkerchiefs in satisfaction.

Zhou Guo smiled and said, "These dishes are cold. I'll have someone bring another one to the table."

Lord Lu shook his hand and said, "No, no, we are full."

When he said this, he looked at the other two, and they nodded, "We are full, too."

Zhou Guo asked, "But you haven't eaten the food on the table yet?"

Master Chen said, "Why eat these things when you can eat crabs? They just take up space in your stomach. You can have them many times on weekdays."

After all, they were county magistrates. They had no respect at all in front of Zhou Guo. When they saw Xie Zi, he looked like he had not eaten. She couldn't understand the reason.

I just felt worried when I saw what they ate. They drank up a small jar of wine and each of them ate nearly twenty crabs. Mr. Chen is already old, and I wonder if he can handle it.

She expressed her worries, "You adults still need to eat something. This wine is strong and crabs are cold in nature. Don't let them upset your stomach later."

Mr. Chen waved his hand and said, "Even if I have a stomachache, I accept it. Now, don't even think about letting me eat a bowl of rice. I can't even drink a glass of water. Mr. Zhou, thank you very much today. Don't worry, if I really have a stomachache later, I won't come to your house to settle the score."

Several people laughed.

Zhou Guo smiled and said, "If you really come to me, I have no choice but to take you to see a doctor. Our doctor is not at home all year round, so I can't treat you."

Li Wang has been gone for so many years. According to Zhou Dacang, medical skills are becoming more and more sophisticated, and no one knows how sophisticated they are.

It was the first time for several people to hear that there was a doctor in her family. They were very curious, "Who is practicing medicine in Master Zhou's family?"

"How could someone in a family like Mr. Zhou be willing to practice medicine?"

Your family is so rich, and one of your family members is a high-ranking official, and you even have a big boss backing you up. Why not do something else but become a doctor?

In the eyes of people like them, practicing medicine is not the right path after all.

Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Yes, my younger brother is very clear-headed and likes to do this. Our family is not a wealthy family, so it's up to them to do whatever they want."

She sees nothing wrong with practicing medicine.

What a noble profession this is. It sounds so domineering to snatch people from the King of Hell.

Mr. Chen nodded and said, "That's good. Everyone in this world has headaches and fevers sometimes, and no one can live without a doctor."

After they finished eating, they suggested taking a walk around the farm and going to the mountains to take a look.

Zhou Guo naturally accompanied them and told Hu Zi, "Go to the pond and catch some crabs. Give each of them a basket to take away."

She accompanied them around the farm, and in the afternoon, they wanted to go back.

Zhou Guo had a few baskets of crabs given to the followers, and said with a smile: "Please forgive me, there are not many crabs in the pond, so I can only give one basket to each person. I hope you don't mind."

A few people didn't expect that there would be such a surprise. They were really overjoyed.

Especially Lord Chen, who said happily: "Mr. Zhou, please don't say that. We are the ones who should say that. We came here empty-handed, but now we have to eat and take things. We are the ones who are embarrassed. You have spent money today."

Lord Lu said, "Yes, yes, if you say that, we old guys will be ashamed."

Zhou Guo smiled and said, "As long as the adults don't mind, these crabs will taste good when eaten with rice wine."

The adults said goodbye with a smile.

Hu Zi said, "Master, there are only a few crabs left in the pond. If you want to eat some, you have to get some from outside."

Zhou Guo said: "Then transfer a few hundred of them. Mr. Tang likes to eat them. Don't you like to eat them too? Everyone likes to eat them."

This year is the year with the most crabs, so they can eat as much as they want.

It is said that anything that is grown at home is good, you can eat as much as you want.

Hu Zixi said happily: "Yes, I will ask someone to adjust it right away."

In the evening, Zhou Guo asked people to catch the remaining crabs and share them with everyone.

Huzi, Erpang, Dashu and Xiaoshu were happily eating crabs, while Tanghe and Zhuangtou were not idle either.
