Chapter 2593 Starting with a Meal

Sitting in the canteen, Hong Chengchou brought two dishes and a few cakes.

"I'm lucky today, I stewed the meat, come and try it." Hong Chengchou pushed the plate of the meat to Sun Chuanting.

Sun Chuanting looked at the meat on the plate, and saliva in his mouth continued to be secreted.

During these days, he was imprisoned in the room as a prisoner, and he could only ensure that he could not starve to death. However, it was impossible to eat good food. Not to mention eating meat, it would be difficult to fill his stomach.

He picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of fat meat and ate it into his mouth, chewing it with a big mouthful, looking satisfied.

"Come on, get a pancake." Hong Chengchou picked up a pancake from the basket and handed it to Sun Chuanting.

Sun Chuanting kept picking meat from the plate with his right hand and stuffing it into his mouth. He took the cake with his left hand and took it to his mouth and took it. His mouth was stuffed, and his cheeks were bulging.

"Eat slowly, no one will snatch it from you." Hong Chengchou comforted Sun Chuanting, but his movements were not slow. He accurately picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

Two people, you have one piece of meat and one piece of meat. In a short while, a plate of meat was eaten by two people, and even the oil stains on the bottom of the plate were wiped clean with pancakes and eaten.

When only a plate of shredded potatoes were left, the movements of the two people slowed down, and finally the literati and doctors looked like they were eating.

"There are chili peppers in this shredded potato, which is refreshing and appetizing, and it tastes good!" Hong Chengchou introduced the plate of shredded potatoes in front of him.

"Well, it's not bad, it's not bad." Sun Chuanting nodded in agreement, but was missing the smell of meat just now.

He was born in Shanxi and could not compare with the finest food and drinks of southern officials. Large pieces of stewed meat are the most suitable for him, and it tastes so satisfying.

Hong Chengchou said: "Don't underestimate this potato. It can not only cook, but also fill your stomach with rice, and the yield is also high."

"I know this thing, I have eaten it before, but it is not as varied as you guys. I stir-fry and stew it with the meat. When I used to eat it, I cooked it in a pot and ate it directly." Sun Chuanting said.

Hong Chengchou said, "Eat it, after you finish it, follow me and take a look, and take a look at it, and let me know about our farmer association."

Neither of them wasted food, and shredded potatoes and pancakes quickly entered the stomachs of both of them.

After eating, Sun Chuanting rubbed his stomach. He hadn't eaten so much in a long time.

Damn stew is so fragrant.

When the two of them came out of the canteen, some people kept going to the canteen to eat, and some people went back to eat after cooking with the rice bowl. Among these people were ordinary soldiers and those who worked in the yamen.

Although Huai County was occupied, because the occupation time was too short and the people had not yet completely surrendered, the yamen was usually stationed to ensure the safety of the personnel.

"I thought you were a high-ranking official at the tiger flag, but I didn't expect that the place where you eat was no different from that of ordinary people." Sun Chuanting turned around and looked at the canteen behind him.

Hong Chengchou looked back at the canteen and asked, "It's delicious to stew!"

After savoring the taste of the stewed meat, Sun Chuanting nodded honestly.

Hong Chengchou said again: "In the future, when you come to our side to do things, you will get used to it. If you work in a yamen, unless you encounter special circumstances, the staff in the yamen will eat from the same pot and will not have special small kitchens."

"No, you are a vassal officer. As your identity, you don't want to eat a small meal, you just eat a small meal every day. Who can do anything to you? It won't be because you surrendered from the court, and the people with the tiger flag don't regard you as their own people!" Sun Chuanting said.

The governor of a province was the governor when he was still an imperial envoy and was not permanently stationed in the local area. Only a few governors were there in the entire Ming Dynasty, the thirteen provinces of the 13 provinces.

The entire Ming Dynasty can also count high-ranking officials who are above the second rank.

Hong Chengchou looked at Sun Chuanting and said, "You don't want to provoke me! If you really have this idea, I advise you to give up this idea."

"You misunderstood, I just don't understand. Your dignified vassal officer does not have a separate small kitchen, and you have to come to the canteen with others to make meals. In the past, you were an official in Shaanxi. Today, we eat these two dishes. Not to mention the two of us, I'm afraid there are more than two dishes on your table alone." Sun Chuanting said.

As people in the officialdom, they knew very well what the dining tables of officials in the Ming Dynasty looked like.

The conditions of officials in the capital may be a little worse. After all, their salary is limited. Many times, they have to use money to clear the relationship and often borrow money from Beijing.

But local officials are different. Even if they are just a county magistrate, their lives are more comfortable than those of the Censor of the Beijing Censorate.

Of course, it would be different if the censor of the Censor had a lot of money in his family.

In short, local officials live a comfortable life, even if they don’t do anything, they only recite poems and paintings every day, and they live a life of clothes and food that can be opened.

Hong Chengchou said: "When I was in Shaanxi, I had a lot of social engagements on weekdays, and I always had a large table of wine and dishes. At home, the servants would prepare some seasonal dishes. In the past, I rarely eat stewed meat like the ones I ate today. It would be okay to change it to mutton, but pork is fine."

"I just said, how could a high-ranking official like you like to eat such fat meat today? If I, a Shanxi person, could do whatever I could eat," said Sun Chuanting.

Hearing this, Hong Chengchou chuckled softly and said, "It was like this when he was an official in the Ming Dynasty, but when he was a tiger flag, everything was different. When he was an official in the tiger flag, he never made special food and drink. You may not believe it if you say it. Our lord is like everyone else. He eats food in the canteen on weekdays."

As his words fell, Sun Chuanting frowned, and his face was filled with the words "disbelief".

Although Liu Heng did not claim to be king, it was a fact that the tiger flag occupied several provinces in the Ming Dynasty. The entire northwest fell into the hands of the tiger flag. Even if he did not claim to be king, he had the qualifications and capital to claim to be king.

With such strength, it is normal to have delicacies and sea flavors of nectar and jade liquid every day. Rough meals like stewed pork are delicious for ordinary people, but for truly powerful people, they don’t look at them directly.

"Don't believe it!" Hong Chengchou knew that he didn't believe what he said when he looked at Sun Chuanting.

Sun Chuanting said: "You are not deliberately praising your lord, right? If you suddenly have power, how can you not enjoy it? I don't believe it."

"I didn't believe it at first, but later I saw it a lot, and I had to believe it." Hong Chengchou said, "A person like our lord who has overwhelming power but is strict with himself and not possessing or greedy should become the lord of the world."

Sun Chuanting hesitated for a moment and said, "Don't you want to take me to see your farmer association. Let's go, I'm very curious."

"Then let's go and treat it as a meal."
