"Young Master Li, please come in Nuannuan..."

Under You Hu's leadership, Li Zhan walked into You Hu's home. After entering You Hu's home, a warm feeling came. Xiao Zhe and Wang Qi smiled at the same time. You Hu's home is not big, about 100 square meters, with no compartment, just a large shop, you can see it at a glance.

Seeing Li Zhan and others coming in, Youhu's wife and Youniu's wife immediately came over to greet him with the children.

Youhu has a boy about ten years old, and there is an eight-year-old girl here in Youniu.

Looking at the person who came to see the ceremony, Li Zhan smiled and asked Ouyang Duoduo to help him up, and then he heard Li Zhan say, "Duoduo... take out your winter melon candy and share some of it with the children."

"Oh...!" Ouyang Duoduo immediately took out some winter melon candy from his bag and put it into the hands of the children. At first, the children didn't dare to ask for it, but in the end they heard You Hu say, "Please take it all... Do you know that this Young Master Li is the eldest brother of the prince. Our coal stove and honeycomb coal were given by Mr. Li and the prince together.

I have already taken so many people, and it is nothing to take any more. However, we must remember the kindness of Mr. Li and His Highness...!"

Seeing You Hu talking in all aspects, Li Zhan also felt a little fond of You Hu. Following Li Zhan, Ouyang Duoduo, Wang Qi and Xiao Zhe sat down around the coal stove, and brown rice porridge was gusping on the coal stove.

Wang Qi and Xiao Zhe were slightly surprised when they looked at the brown rice porridge. Why were they surprised? Because they had never eaten brown rice at all. In the Imperial College, they were either millet or rice. How could they let these children of officials eat brown rice?

Looking at Wang Qi and Xiao Zhe’s surprised look, Li Zhan smiled and said, “Have you seen it before? This is called brown rice… It is a kind of food, but it is not easy to digest. If you eat too much, you will get chronic stomach problems.”

"Ah...!" Wang Qi and Xiao Zhe were stunned and said in unison: "Then why should you eat it?"

"Haha..." Li Zhan laughed loudly and said, "Why should I eat it..." Li Zhan shook his head and said, "Because this food that can cause chronic stomach problems, if ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty can eat it every day, it will be the best life."

"No... The Tang Dynasty has become prosperous and peaceful, and this is Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty. How could it be that it is impossible to eat this every day at the foot of the emperor?" Wang Qi and Xiao Zhe were very surprised.

Li Zhan looked at You Hu around him and said, "Although they are students of the Imperial College and are well-versed in a lot of knowledge, unfortunately, they still have a lot of basic knowledge. You Hu, let's talk to the two young masters, what do you eat in a year?"

"Young Master Li...isn't this...isn't it?" You Hu was a little reluctant to say it because You Hu felt a little embarrassed and lost the face of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Zhan said, "There are some things that are not something that you don't say, but they don't exist. The two children in front of you may be parents and officials of the Tang Dynasty in the future. They need to know the lives of the people. It's okay, tell me...!"

"Hey...!" Finally Youhu nodded and said, "Then let me talk about our life. Our family is very good in spring, summer and autumn, because we can go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables, go to the river to catch fresh fish in summer, and go to the trees to pick fruits in autumn. It is really hard to bear in winter. The grain produced by a mu of land is fine in the south, but in Guanzhong, it is really not a lot.

When winter comes, there may be a lot of food. We have eaten bark, turf, leaves, and dug field holes to survive. Of course, this is not your Majesty, nor is it your parents’ official, because the land in Guanzhong is like this. We are incompetent and have nothing to do with others.

Your Majesty has done well enough. This year, this year, I distributed 50 kilograms of brown rice. Our family can save some food and survive the winter!"

"Save food...how can you save food?" Wang Qi asked.

"One pound of brown rice a day, and the children eat one bowl per meal. Because we adults eat a lot, we have to add something to the remaining brown rice porridge." You Hu said embarrassedly.

"What to add?" Xiao Zhe asked.

Then You Hu's wife took out the leaves he collected and said, "This is the leaves collected before the fallen leaves in autumn. We will add some of them when we eat them."

"Ah..." Wang Qi and Xiao Zhe were shocked: "Eat leaves?"

Li Zhan smiled and said, "Cook some for us too..."

"How can this be done? Mr. Li is scolding me. We just don't eat. Today we will cook a dry meal for Mr. Li and the other three. I also have a hare that my brother beats. I cook it together after it is dried and it tastes so good."

You Hu waved his hands repeatedly, and refused to cook leaves for Li Zhan and others.

This is actually a manifestation of Chinese instinct for hospitality. When guests or noble people come, no matter what, they must take out the best in their homes, otherwise they will be too shameless.

Li Zhan looked at Wang Qi and Xiao Zhe and said, "We ate other people's brown rice today. What should you do if you ask others to do?"

Xiao Zhe immediately said: "Don't worry, instructor, I will send 100 kilograms of rice tomorrow."

Wang Qi also nodded and said, "Instructor, why are our people in the Tang Dynasty still so miserable? This is completely different from what we imagined...!"

Li Zhan smiled and looked at the surprised two people and said, "What's the matter? You are nobles. How could you see the glory of the bottom of the Tang Dynasty? Wang Qi and Xiao Zhe, I know you have great ambitions. It's good to have ambitions. However, if you really want to become a good official in the Tang Dynasty, you should look at the bottom, because if you can't see the bottom, you won't become a real good official."

After saying that, Li Zhan didn't say anything more. He began to ask Xiao Zhe and Wang Qi to think about what they are today. How much they can figure out is their own business. That's all Li Zhan can do.

Not only Wang Qi and Xiao Zhe, but other Imperial College students who are in other families also have their own feelings at this time, but the difference is that what they have obtained is definitely different.

Some can be good at it, while others will still ask why not eat meat.

....................................

Half an hour later, Li Zhan had just finished his meal with Wang Qi, Xiao Zhe, Ouyang Duoduo, and Suningbao came back, and then brought good news, that is, the bandits next to Youjia Village were actually gathering actively, and might be robbing Youjia Village.

Li Zhan laughed. This is a good thing, because in this way, there is no need to attack forcefully. You should know that there may be casualties in the attack forcefully. There is no need to attack forcefully now. Since you know that these bandits are coming, just ambush them directly.

Li Zhan asked Youniu what kind of places nearby are necessary for bandits to pass, and where they can be ambushed very well.

Yu Niu is really not built. He knows the terrain here very well. He hasn't thought about it for a minute and immediately thinks of a good place for ambush.

After hearing the location that Youniu mentioned, Li Zhan laughed and said, "What are you waiting for... Let's go to the designated location to wait for our prey right away...!"
