Sui and Tang Dynasties: Awakening the Supreme Skills at the Beginning

With a loud "boom", the crowd was boiling!

Not to mention having enough steamed buns, rice, meat and vegetables, even if it's just wild vegetables and bran, being able to eat enough is considered good. Many people have never had a full meal since they were born.

"Mr. Li is truly a living Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering!"

"Mr. Li must be the messenger sent by God to save us. Let us pray for Mr. Li and wish him many children and a long life!"

"Yes, yes!"

People responded one after another.

Seen from a distance, the whole village of more than 200 people, a black mass, all kneeling and kowtowing, regardless of age, was a spectacular scene.

In the eyes of the villagers, Li Zhen's name is like a god.

In the past, when the villagers swore and cursed, they would say such and such to God, but now they have all changed their words and say such and such to Master Li...

Zhang Erniu stretched out his arm and raised it up, and the crowd immediately quieted down.

"Come here, some old ladies, to help with the cooking."

There was a commotion among the crowd below, and soon a dozen middle-aged women came out, led by Zhang Erniu's wife.

"The rest of you, keep working!"

Zhang Erniu shouted again.

With a "bang", the crowd dispersed, and the men picked up the farm tools in their hands and continued digging.

At night, the open space in front of the ancestral hall in Xiaozhang Village was illuminated by burning torches, and several large pots used for sacrifices were lined up in a row, with steam rising from the pots.

Looking at the scene in front of them, countless adults and children opened their eyes wide and their mouths wide open, as if they were dreaming.

"This is not a dream!"

"Come on, second kid, pinch me and see if it hurts."

Erwazi stepped forward and pinched the man hard on the waist.

"It hurts, it hurts! It's real! It's not a dream!"

The man jumped three feet high and shouted excitedly.

"How many years has it been? Ever since I can remember, I have hardly ever had a full meal. The only time was on my wedding day, when my parents made an exception and let me have a full meal! Ahaha!"

An old man was in tears and sobbing.

At this time, Zhang Erniu walked to the front of the big pot with something similar to a trumpet in his hand.

"Fellow villagers, Master Li is inviting everyone to dinner today. Before we eat, we would like to invite Master Li to say a few words to everyone. Welcome everyone!"

As he said that, Zhang Erniu gave up his position in the center and Li Zhen walked straight over.

He took the megaphone from Zhang Erniu, put it to his lips, and scanned the people in the field.

Everyone's eyes were filled with awe, but more of it was their longing for the delicious food in the big pot behind Li Zhen.

"I won't say anything for now. Let's eat first. If there's anything, we can talk about it after we finish eating. What do you think?"

"it is good!"

The people below responded in unison, and Zhang Erniu showed embarrassment on his face.

Li Zhen raised the loudspeaker high and shouted loudly.

"Let's eat!"

With a "boom", people stood up and rushed towards the big pots, as if they would not be able to get food if they went too late.

Li Zhen frowned and continued shouting.

"Everyone, please don't crowd, line up and follow the order. Don't worry, we have enough food for everyone!"

After hearing what Li Zhen said, the noisy crowd calmed down. With the help of Li Erhai and others, they lined up along the white line drawn by Li Zhen and went forward to get their meals.

"Come on, Second Aunt, bring me four steamed buns, with more meat and vegetables!"

Finally it was his turn. Zhang Dashan walked forward and spoke impatiently.

Aunt Zhang smiled happily.

"Dashan, don't worry. We have everything. Master Li said that if it's not enough, we can make more. We still have a lot of rice and flour left!"

As he spoke, he handed him four steamed buns and used a ladle to scoop a large spoonful of meat and vegetables for him.

The meat dish was stewed with wild vegetables, radishes and pork. The fattier parts of the pork were specially selected. It took more than an hour to stew.

The meat in the big pot was stewed until it was soft and rare, and even an old lady in her fifties or sixties with bad teeth could chew it.

The aroma of meat mixed with the aroma of vegetables made the people waiting in line who had not yet gotten their meals salivate.

Zhang Dashan finished half of the steamed bun in one bite.

He picked up another piece of fat and put it in his mouth. He chewed it for a few times and sighed.

"Even if I die now, it's worth it!"

His words resonated with many people.

Er Gouzi, who was standing next to him, was chewing a steamed bun and speaking incoherently.

"Now that I've grown up, I finally know what meat tastes like. Haha, even if I'm just bragging, it's enough to keep me going for a while!"

"Look at how useless you are," Zhang Sanyang glanced at Ergouzi and rolled his eyes at him.

"My eldest brother said that this time Master Li has come up with a way to make sure we have enough food to eat every day. No one will die because they can't afford to eat anymore. Days like this will become commonplace in the future!"

"Really?"

The crowd watching looked in disbelief, as if he was joking.

"Is this true? Master Li is a god-like being. What he says is more effective than the emperor's decree. If he says it's okay, it will definitely work!"

Zhang Sanyang had a smug look on his face and looked arrogantly at the people around him.

"Yes! We all listen to Master Li. We will do whatever he tells us to do!"

"Yes! Count me in!"

"Our whole family supports him!"

……

From then on, people looked at Li Zhen with more enthusiasm, as if Li Zhen could rescue them from the sea of ​​suffering immediately.

As he spoke, the four steamed buns in Zhang Dashan's hand were gone.

He glanced at Aunt Zhang, who understood and immediately picked up four more steamed buns and put them in his hands, saying with a smile.

"Dog's father, eat slowly and don't choke. There's still plenty here!"

"Uh-huh!"

Zhang Dashan blushed, hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hands to take the steamed bun from Aunt Zhang's hand, and began to eat it in small bites.

"Dad, I want to eat meat too!"

Next to Zhang Dashan, nine-year-old Ergou was envious of the fat in his father's bowl and started to make a lot of noise.

Everyone laughed.

The dinner was in full swing. People were pleasantly surprised to see so much fat in their bowls and plenty of steamed buns. This was a good thing that could not be had even during the Chinese New Year!

On the other side, after eating twelve steamed buns, Zhang Dashan was finally full.

He stroked his bulging belly and sighed.

"Ah! After all these years, I finally have a full meal. This is so worth it!"

Zhang San next to him looked at Zhang Dashan who looked very happy and joked.

"Gou Wa's father, look at your belly, it's almost bigger than a mountain!"

Zhang Dashan continued to stroke his bulging belly and spoke.

"Yes, after all these years, I have never been as full as I am today. This is worth it!"

"Yeah! Yeah! Me too!"

"Mr. Li is truly a living Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering!"

"Yes, yes!"

"We must listen to Master Li. Even if he wants me to die now, I will do it!"

"Me too!"

"Me too!"

……

Unknowingly, Li Zhen's prestige among the villagers began to rise sharply.

An hour later, the last villager who had eaten his fill lay on his back in the middle of the yard. Li Zhen saw that the time had come. He walked to the middle of the yard, picked up the megaphone in his hand, and spoke loudly.

"Do you want to have a full meal every day like today?"
