The Daily Life of a Rich Peasant's Boy in the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1578 Sun Shan Invites You for Tea (2)

Sun Shan led his family to drink tea and watch a play.

In the end, it was discovered that the Sun family hadn't watched the show at all; they were all eating and drinking like hungry ghosts reincarnated.

Sun Shan was the one who ate the least throughout the entire event.

Sun Shan: .....

His lips twitched as he saw that the chubby girl had already devoured three pig's feet.

Unable to contain herself any longer, she asked, "Xiaoxiao, are you full?"

The chubby little girl, her mouth full of braising sauce, looked up in confusion, thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Dad, Xiaoxiao wants to gnaw on pig's feet, they're delicious."

Sun Shan turned his attention to Sister Yun.

Yun Jie'er's scalp tingled as she realized someone was staring at her. She looked up in alarm and saw that it was indeed Brother Shan.

She quietly wiped her mouth, pretending not to feel the gaze.

Sun Shan couldn't help but ask, "Sister Yun, are you full?"

Sister Yun: ......

Can I say I'm not full? It's been so long since I've enjoyed eating pig's feet so much; I want to keep eating.

And I don't know what the Yuanlu No. 1 Teahouse is up to.

The tea was so-so, but the braised pig's feet were absolutely amazing. You couldn't help but keep gnawing on them, and even with a full belly, you kept eating.

Sister Yun sensed a hint of dissatisfaction in Sun Shan's nonchalant tone.

He nodded sharply: "Brother Shan, I'm full. Hehe, Brother Shan, are you full?"

It seems that Brother Shan is annoyed that he has eaten too much, which is why he is so indifferent.

Sun Shan was just about to say that he was full and it was time to leave.

At this moment, Uncle Sun ran out of the private room and called out, "Little Brother Er!"

The waiter arrived at the scene in less than a second, asking in an extremely humble and obsequious manner, "Third Master, what is the matter?"

Uncle Sun didn't understand either Mandarin or the local dialect, but he was a local ox, and he could express himself by gesturing.

He pointed to the pig's feet, then held up a hand and said, "Bring five more dishes."

The waiter, who was specially assigned by the manager to serve Magistrate Sun, must be quite a clever man, adept at reading people's expressions and moods.

He understood what Uncle Sun meant in less than a second, and bowed and smiled obsequiously, saying, "Okay, I'll go and tell the kitchen to serve five plates of pig's feet."

In order to let Uncle Sun know what he meant.

The waiter gestured in various ways, extending his hand and pointing towards the kitchen.

Uncle Sun said cheerfully, "Okay, hurry up and serve. Your pig's feet are delicious."

The waiter rushed downstairs to the kitchen, afraid that if he was a step too slow, the important person would blame him.

No one in the entire Yuanlu County is more noble than Lord Sun. We must serve him well and make him feel at home in the teahouse, as if he were dining in a five-star home.

Sun Shan: ......

Hey waiter, do you have to be so observant? You don't need to understand anything!

Uncle Sun patted Sun Shan on the shoulder with a grin and said, "Shanzi, the pig's feet are especially delicious today. Oh my, it's been so long since I've had such delicious pig's feet."

He then went to the women's table and jokingly asked, "Xiaoxiao, Heimei, Huming, how was the pig's trotter?"

The two little girls nodded enthusiastically: "Third Grandpa, it's delicious."

Hu Mingyue thought it tasted better: "Third Grandfather, my classmate said that the pig's feet at the No. 1 Tea House in Yuanlu are the best."

Uncle Sun glanced at Little Fatty, Little Blackie, and the pile of bones in front of Tiger Roar's table. "Wow, they really know how to gnaw on things."

Then he glanced at the bones piled up like mountains in front of Yun Jie'er and Su Shi's table.

If Uncle Sun asks Su why she eats so much.

Su replied definitively: "A group of starving ghosts eating like they've been reincarnated—it's better to benefit ourselves than outsiders."

Since Sun Shan is paying the bill anyway, Su's family should try to eat more and others should eat less, so they can feel less financially burdened.

Dege'er gnawed on the pig's trotter with gusto and said happily, "Shanzi, I'm really enjoying this meal today. Hehe, it's great to work alongside Shanzi, being able to eat such delicious pig's trotters."

"Oh, it would be even better if my wife, veil, mother, eldest brother, second brother, and grandmother were here too."

Uncle Sun agreed repeatedly, saying, "Brother De is right. It would be best if our whole family were here. It's a pity they live in the countryside."

Then he said to Sun Bomin, "Brother, you are the luckiest to have such a good son as Shanzi, who brings you good fortune. Alas, I am much more unfortunate, having raised three sons, none of whom are successful."

He paused, then looked at Sun Shan with a fawning expression and said, "Luckily, I have a good nephew. Hehe, I'll be able to enjoy life by my nephew's side from now on."

Uncle Sun not only wanted to enjoy the good life with Sun Shan himself, but also encouraged the men of the Sun family to do the same.

He muttered loudly, "You guys do your jobs well, and you'll enjoy a life of luxury by my Shanzi's side from now on. If it weren't for my Shanzi, you wouldn't have the chance to eat pig's feet."

While responding to the call, Sun Dali replied while still munching on a pig's trotter, "Third Grandfather, you don't need to tell me, I'll do my job well. How can you not enjoy life by following the master's side? Countless people in the village envy me."

Big-headed Dog thought so too: "That's right, if it weren't for the master, I would still be farming in Sunjia Village and wouldn't have gotten married yet."

These words immediately drew laughter from everyone.

Sun Dingnan said with a smile, "I am also very happy to work by the master's side. In the future, my little Wenzi will also work by the master's side."

As soon as he said that, everyone booed.

At the same time, they rushed to pledge their loyalty to Sun Shan, clamoring to serve the master for the rest of their lives.

Sun Caogen actually said, "When I get old, I'll have my son take over and become the master's bodyguard. Haha, three generations of my family will have to work for the master."

Sun Heitan even said, "My family has served the master for eighteen generations."

Others' are either three, six, or nine generations.

Sun Heitan has managed to infiltrate the community to the eighteenth generation, infuriating everyone and giving outsiders absolutely no chance.

Gui Ge'er curled his lip and coldly watched the men argue back and forth.

He muttered to himself: Your descendants should be good guards, while my son, grandson, and great-grandson will be servants to Brother Shan's family.

Hmph, I won't steal your jobs, and you can forget about stealing mine.

Sun Shan: ......

This group of men from the Sun family is quite exaggerated, but thankfully they speak their local dialect, which outsiders can't understand.

Master Zhang offered a cup of tea to Sun Shan instead of wine, saying, "Master, thank you for taking me in when I was in my most difficult time. I have no way to repay you but to live up to your expectations for the rest of my life."

He paused, then added, "My son and grandson will not let you down either."

After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp, looking as if he was about to swear a blood oath with Sun Shan.

Sun Shan: .....

Master Zhang, we're all cultured people, and I understand your unspoken meaning perfectly.

Your words are no different from those of the Sun family guards; they're both trying to cling to me with their descendants!

Before Sun Shan could say anything, Sun Bomin was moved to tears.

Raising his teacup high, he said excitedly, "Everyone, thank you for your trust in my Shanzi. As long as you don't let me down, I will definitely not let you down."

After saying this, he declared that drinking tea was like drinking wine—what a bold and ambitious statement!

Master Zhang and the Sun family guards clapped repeatedly, shouting, "Excellent, Master, that's wonderful..."

Sun Shan, the male lead:........

When it came time to pay the bill, the shopkeeper laughed heartily and greeted the customer with utmost respect.

Sun Shan clutched his chest in distress, dragging his heavy steps as he walked out of the teahouse, his steps even heavier than when he left the palace for the imperial examination.

What are these people's stomachs made of? How can they eat so much?

Heartbroken and in pain, tears are streaming down my face!
