Chapter 1182 Give Me 2 Altars
Everyone knew that the county government was poor, and having a chicken on the dinner table was considered a delicacy.
The other members of the Yan family couldn't help laughing when they heard this, with smug looks on their faces.
There were a few who even looked at her with contempt, thinking that Zhou Guo had never seen the world. She couldn't move her feet just because of a table full of delicious food. It was obvious that she had never seen good things before. It seemed that the Xu family was just so-so.
A female voice came from behind the screen, "You are joking, my Lord. These are very common at our family's dinner table. We eat like this every day."
There was an undisguised sense of pride in his words, as well as a hint of contempt.
The Yan family's patriarch's expression changed, and he shouted: "Shut up, is this your place to speak?!"
After saying that, he immediately apologized to Zhou Guo, "I'm sorry, my lord. My daughter is still young and has been spoiled by her mother. Don't take it personally. She has no ill intentions."
Zhou Guo's mouth curled up into a smile, "How could that be? The young lady didn't say anything, she just told the truth. I really envy you, the head of the family. In Fengfei County where everyone is poor, the Yan family can still eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks every day. The head of the family is amazing and capable!"
A young man in his twenties said, "It's just because our ancestors left us a few acres of land. If nothing else, we can still use this to entertain guests. Your Excellency is a child of destiny after all, and we can't let you down."
Zhou Guo looked over, and the man neither retreated nor avoided. The head of the Yan family introduced him with a smile: "Sir, this is my youngest son, Yan Song. He is twenty-five years old this year. He started elementary school at the age of six and likes to read every day."
His tone was full of pride, and it was obvious that he was his most proud child.
Zhou Guo said: "Your Excellency is amazing and well-educated. Unlike me, I can't even recognize a few words at such an age and I haven't read much. I can't compare with you."
The young man raised his chin a little higher when he said this.
The head of the Yan family said, "No, no, Your Excellency is being modest."
The others puffed out their chests, and Patriarch Yan introduced them one by one.
Zhou Guo nodded one by one and said, "Great, each of them is a dragon and a phoenix among men. You, the head of the family, are really good at raising children."
Keep saying compliments.
Everyone else sitting there showed a smug smile, thinking that Zhou was really sensible. It seemed that she was not that great, otherwise why would she keep saying such flattering words?
I guess they are also afraid of the Yan family.
Wu Lazi, who was standing by, stopped listening after hearing a few words, her attention entirely focused on the delicious food in front of her. To be honest, although the dishes were good, they were still not as good as the first meal Qian Duo treated them to, which had everything.
After smelling it, the taste couldn't compare to it, but compared to the food they had in the mountains, it was much better. They could never catch up even if they tried their best, so they had to eat more.
It’s not that no one noticed Wu Lazi.
They all knew her and knew that she was the one leading more than a thousand people. They greeted her and didn't say much.
It was just a dog in front of Zhou Guo. Being able to sit at the same table with them to eat was already enough face for her. There was nothing more.
Wu Lazi was enjoying the quietness. She noticed Zhou Guo talking to others with a smile on his face and was full of admiration.
She is so long-winded and keeps talking about irrelevant things. She doesn't have enough patience. The food will get cold if she doesn't eat it now. She has come here but can't eat it for a long time. It's really painful. She will never follow me out again next time.
After talking for a long time, Zhou Guo noticed that Wu Lazi's eyes were wide open, staring blankly at the food, not knowing what he was thinking. He said to Patriarch Yan, "Patriarch, look, my friend is so hungry that he doesn't even have the energy to talk."
The head of the Yan family immediately said, "It's my fault, it's my fault. It's obviously time for dinner, but I pulled you aside to talk so much. I won't say any more. Come on, come on, eat."
Wu Lazi's eyes lit up, and he picked up his chopsticks and took his favorite dish, muttering, "Finally, I can eat it."
Seeing how impatient she was and how she was wolfing down the food with such an ugly eating manner, everyone else couldn't help but despise her even more and looked at her with disgust, thinking, "Has she never eaten anything delicious in her entire life?"
Zhou Guo even picked up some food for her and said with a smile, "Come on, eat as much as you want. Patriarch Yan is treating us today, so we have plenty of delicious food, right, Patriarch?"
The head of the Yan family said with a smile: "That's right. It's our honor that you are willing to be our guest. How can we not let you eat your fill? Please eat as much as you want. We have plenty of delicious food!"
Wu Lazi's meal was even more unceremonious. It was just that the food was cold and not as tasty. She had gotten used to eating Chef Zhang's dishes these days and now had the ability to be picky about taste.
Zhou Guo picked up some food for her and ate it himself. Although he ate quickly, his eating manners were very elegant and no one could find fault with him. However, he ate too much, one bowl after another.
To the surprise of everyone present, they saw her adding bowl after bowl of rice, and each bowl was full.
The women on the other side of the screen couldn't help laughing softly, full of mockery, when they saw Zhou Guo and his partner, one of whom ate in a rude manner and the other ate more than all the women at the table combined.
So what if you come from a big city? You have no money. It's the same everywhere. You will still live a miserable life, just like a beggar.
Although the laughter was soft, Zhou Guo and the others could not hear it, but the entire hall could hear it clearly.
The head of the Yan family said nothing, but smiled and poured wine for Zhou Guo. "This wine, sir, please try it. It's a fifty-year-old girl's red wine. I have dozens of jars buried in the cellar. If you like it, I will give you a few jars before you leave."
Zhou Guo took a sip and nodded, "Okay, give me twenty jars and I'll take them away. Oh, I haven't tasted this daughter's red wine before. It's really a good wine, a good wine!"
It’s really good wine, but it’s a pity that the journey is too long to bring it back. Otherwise, if I brought it back to the north and gave it to my master, he would definitely be very happy.
The head of the Yan family, who was standing aside, had his mouth frozen. Twenty jars, and there were only thirty jars in his cellar.
But when he thought about the child's future, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, the adults will take him away when the time comes."
The others kept silent and looked down on Zhou Guo even more. This was too much to ask for. She really thought this was her home. She wanted twenty jars at once. A jar of this vintage girl's red wine was not cheap.
The women behind the screen all wanted to leave. The one who had spoken at the beginning looked anxiously at her mother and said, "Mom, isn't this daughter's red wine my wedding wine? How come it belongs to someone else?"
Twenty jars were gone, and only ten were left.
The woman also looked unhappy. She subconsciously looked outside and whispered, "Be quiet. Just think of it as your brother's."
The girl pouted unhappily and was angry.
Zhou Guo's ears were perked up high, and nothing that everyone in the room said escaped her ears.
Only Wu Lazi, upon hearing her ask for twenty jars of wine so casually, began to look at her with new eyes!
So shameless!
Others were being polite, but she was really rude and asked for twenty jars of the same wine.
Got to learn.
