In years of famine and drought, their village even rejected fatty meat.

Chapter 599 What a blissful life!

"Isn't this too much?"

Wang Yu's eyes widened, filled with disbelief.

In a country where ordinary people have to be careful with every penny, the figure of several hundred taels is simply too astonishing.

“Not much, not much!”

The skinny monkey chuckled and said, "A few hundred taels of silver is nothing. When we first started doing business, we made over a thousand taels of silver in one go!"

More than a thousand taels!!!

Wang Yu and Zhang Hao's brains completely shut down.

Several hundred taels was already beyond their expectations, but there was even more than a thousand taels...

Is it really that easy to make money?

Several breaths passed before the village chief came to his senses and exclaimed with emotion, "No wonder you were all dressed so well when I saw you; it turns out you've become rich."

As he said this, a hint of envy inevitably flashed in the village chief's eyes. Even as the village chief of Zhangwang Village, he had never worn clothes made of silk.

"He Ge'er and Shouhou have really made something of themselves."

Wang Yu said with a smile, "You can earn hundreds or even thousands of taels of silver in one business deal, that's impressive!"

"hey-hey!"

Zhang He and the skinny monkey scratched their heads sheepishly.

The village chief seemed to be deep in thought as he said, "You've come to Liangzhou this time, probably to do business, right?"

The village chief noticed the large number of trucks the moment he saw Zhang He and his group. He had initially thought they were weapons or something similar, but now it seemed they were goods that Zhang He and his group had brought.

"Not bad!"

Zhang He nodded and said, "Business in Qingzhou is getting harder and harder, so I thought I'd come to Liangzhou to see if I could find some new business opportunities, and also... visit my hometown."

"I see."

The two village chiefs suddenly realized what was happening, and then continued chatting with Zhang He.

Not long after, sounds came from the kitchen.

"Brother Zhang, the food is ready, let's eat."

"coming!"

Zhang He responded and turned to the village chief and Wang Yu, saying, "Village chief, auntie, let's go and have a meal together."

Upon hearing this, the two village chiefs couldn't help but swallow. Earlier, while they were chatting, they had smelled the aroma wafting from the kitchen. It was the unique aroma of meat, which was irresistible to the two men who lacked oil and fat.

"By the way, village chief, where's your dog, Gousheng?"

Skinny Monkey suddenly asked, "Dogsleeping is the nickname of the village chief's son; his real name is Zhang Yi."

"He went out to play, he should be back soon!"

Just as Wang Yu finished answering, footsteps came from outside the door.

A boy of about thirteen or fourteen years old skipped in, looking puzzled. "Dad, Mom, why are there so many people in our house? I almost thought I came to the wrong place."

“These people are all your and Brother He’er’s friends.”

Wang Yu replied with a smile.

Gou Sheng's gaze fell on Zhang He and Shou Hou.

"He-ge'er, Hou-ge'er, you've actually come back!"

Gou Sheng looked at the two people in front of him, feeling as if they were long-dead corpses: "Everyone in the village said you were dead before, but I never believed it, hehe."

After saying that, Gou Sheng twitched his nostrils: "What's that smell? It smells so good."

"You have a really good nose."

Zhang He stepped forward, patted Gou Sheng's head, and said with a smile, "Let's go, let's go eat meat together."

"Eat meat?"

Gou Sheng's eyes lit up suddenly, "Great! I can eat meat now!"

In Liangzhou at that time, even the village chief's family had no surplus grain. As the village chief's son, Gousheng was not starving, but he usually ate poorly and never ate meat all year round. Therefore, when he heard that he could eat meat, Gousheng became very excited.

Soon, everyone arrived at the kitchen.

The aroma became even stronger after we entered the kitchen.

But then they saw plates of stir-fried chicken already laid out on the table. Looking at the golden-brown, incredibly tempting stir-fried chicken, the village chief, Wang Yu, and Gou Sheng couldn't help but swallow hard, and their saliva secretion increased several times over.

"Brother Zhang, you can eat inside. I'll send some to the brothers outside."

The men in charge of cooking told Zhang He, and then sent the prepared flatbread and stir-fried chicken outside.

Zhang He then led the village chief and his family to sit down, and said with a smile, "Eat up, everyone, while it's hot."

"He-ge'er, is this what you usually eat?"

Looking at the large plate of chicken in front of him, Wang Yu couldn't help but ask.

The large plate of chicken in front of him must weigh at least three pounds. In addition to the chicken, there were also crispy baked flatbreads and egg drop soup. Such food was truly too extravagant for Wang Yu.

"nor."

Zhang He shook his head and said, "When we were traveling, it was inconvenient to cook, so we mostly ate dry rations."

After saying that, Zhang He added, "But that's how we ate it back in Qingzhou."

"..."

Wang Yu opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

This is how they ate in Qingzhou, which means that... Zhang He and the others could eat meat every day, and in considerable quantities.

This standard of living is unimaginable for Wang Yu, who lives in Liangzhou.

You should know that even some small landlords in Liangzhou didn't have meat on their tables every day.

"He-ge'er, what kind of heavenly life are you living?"

Gou Sheng stared wide-eyed and said, "Eating meat every day, even the landlords in the city can't live like that, right?"

"Ha ha!"

Zhang He smiled, thoroughly enjoying Gou Sheng's shocked expression: "It's alright, it's alright. The main thing is that chicken is cheaper in Qingzhou, so we can all afford it."

After saying this, Zhang He added, "Don't just stand there, hurry up and eat, this chicken won't taste good if it gets cold."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gou Sheng, who had been drooling for a long time, was the first to act, wielding his chopsticks like lightning to pick up a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth.

As soon as the chicken entered his mouth, a rich aroma burst forth, filling his food with a unique meaty fragrance that blossomed on his taste buds. A look of pure bliss immediately appeared on Gou Sheng's face.

As you bite down, the savory flavor becomes even more intense.

"Delicious, so delicious!"

As Gou Sheng chewed, he made mumbled sounds of praise.

The village chief and Wang Yu, each picking up a piece of chicken, also gave it extremely high praise.

"This chicken is really delicious."

"This skill is far superior to mine!"

Seeing the others' reactions, Zhang He smiled, picked up the flatbread in front of him, and began to eat it while enjoying the stir-fried chicken.

A large plate of stir-fried chicken was almost half eaten up in no time, with Gou Sheng eating the most, followed by the village chief and Wang Yu.

As for Zhang He and the skinny monkey, meat was no longer a scarce commodity for them, so their desire for fried chicken was far less than that of the village chief's family.
