Zhao Sheng hosted a banquet to entertain Zhao Kuo, as if he was intentional to show Zhao Kuo what the prince of Zhao was, or he just wanted to show his love for Zhao Kuo. In short, the banquet was very luxurious. Zhao Sheng sat in the upper position, Zhao Kuo sat on his left, and his guests sat on the right, and the table in front of everyone was filled with all kinds of fruits. In this era, fruits were not cheap. The rarer the fruit, the more expensive it was.

In order to better preserve these fruits, the nobles specially invented the cellar and even stored ice cubes. In summer, the fruits were not just picked up and eaten directly. These fruits were made into various forms of food and drink by the chefs. There were naturally outstanding chefs in Pingyuan Jun’s guests. These chefs are now the top chefs in Zhao State. Even these fruits before meals were made particularly exquisitely.

There were various fruit slices in the shape of a character Zhao, and there were pear residues that were crushed with ice. Zhao Kuo looked at these small desserts and was stunned. Zhao Sheng only thought that he had never seen so many fruits and had never seen such cooking skills. He smiled and told him to eat more. Of course, Zhao Kuo had not seen so many fruits, and he even knew many kinds of fruits that they had never heard of. What surprised him was that this was the way to eat them in this era.

The staple foods were all meat. The nobles of this era liked to eat meat very much, so there was a saying that meat eaters were despised. The cooking methods of meat have also developed in this era. Even if Zhao Kuo did not know how to cook, at least he could see that this era had mastered the methods of roasting, cooking, stir-frying, etc. What surprised him even more was that these meats also had beef. Because of the importance of plowing oxen, people were unwilling to slaughter cattle to eat unless they needed sacrifices.

Of course, a great nobleman like Pingyuanjun made a few old cows that could not be plowed and slaughtered meat, and no one could say anything. He just pulled a cow that was about to plow and slaughtered it. I guess no one dared to say anything.

Everyone was eating beef and mutton, drinking wine, and praising Zhao Sheng's legendary deeds. They were so happy. Because in this era, the size of their appetite represents whether a person is brave, so everyone eats openly. Eating more will only be praised, and eating less will only be ridiculed.

During the banquet, the only one who couldn't be happy might be Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Sheng kept looking at Zhao Kuo and found that he was a little unhappy, so he asked again: "Ma Fuzi? Could it be that I am not well-received? Why do you sigh?" Zhao Kuo hurriedly stood up and said: "Actually, I came to see you this time to ask you to help me. I am a talented person and have no reputation. Before my father passed away, he said that you are kind and kind, can love scholars, and will help those who ask you for help. He also told me that you can ask you to help me if you have something to do. He also said that with you, I don't have to worry about not being able to accomplish what I want to accomplish."

Zhao Sheng was energetic and his expression became solemn, and he said, "Ma Fujun said it well, that's it. Please tell me, no matter what it is, I will definitely help."

Zhao Kuo now knew what kind of person Zhao Sheng was. He did not raise any flags of family and country. He just said respectfully: "That's right. I want to borrow some food from the noble people in Zhao. I went to visit them in person, but because of my lack of fame and not being valued by them, I also want to borrow some food from various countries, but because I have no friends, I can't borrow it."

Zhao Sheng was stunned and did not ask him what he wanted to do for food. He said indifferently: "This is not a difficult thing. I can give you as much food as you want."

"I want to borrow 800,000 stones of millet, 10,000 poultry, 6,000 sheep, and 1,000 pigs."

"Peng~~", the wine cup in Zhao Sheng's hand fell on the ground. He widened his eyes, looked at Zhao Kuo on the side, and asked again, "How much do you... want to borrow?" For a moment, the whole banquet became silent, and Zhao Sheng's guests were also stunned. Not to mention them, even Li Yu, they couldn't stop at the moment. You must know that at this time, in the most harvest season, the annual output of one acre of land in Zhao State can only produce six stones of millet per acre, and usually only produce one stone per acre. In this case, it is already very good to produce seven dou.

Zhao Kuo's expression was very calm and he said calmly: "Eighty hundred thousand stones of millet, ten thousand poultry, six thousand sheep, and one thousand pigs."

Zhao Sheng looked at him blankly, thought for a long time, and then said, "Is this a little too much...why do you want so much food?"

"I agreed to General Lian Po and wanted to send him food. General Lian Po said that when no one can do this today, I told him that there is only one person in the world who can get so much food, that is Pingyuan Jun. As long as Pingyuan Jun is willing, not to mention 800,000 stones, even 1.8 million, he can definitely take it out! This is what I want to ask you for." Zhao Kuo said excitedly.

Zhao Sheng was silent for a moment and looked at the guests around him.

Zhao Kuo suddenly walked to Zhao Sheng and said unhappily: "I have heard that Pingyuan Jun can help others, so I came to ask you for help. If you don't want to, please let me leave, and I will go and find someone else to help."

"How dare you be rude to Pingyuan Jun! Pingyuan Jun has always been kind and generous, how can you allow you to be so insulted?!" As soon as Zhao Kuo finished speaking, Pingyuan Jun's disciple jumped out and scolded him. Zhao Kuo looked at him in panic and said, "You are right. I underestimated Pingyuan Jun. How could Pingyuan Jun not want to?" The disciple heard that, then nodded proudly and proudly, with a smile on his face.

Pingyuan Jun wanted to strangle this accountant to death at this moment.

Where can I get 800,000 stones of grain for him??!

He said a little embarrassedly: "It's not that you don't want it, but you need too much food. I can take out all the food stored in the house for you, but I don't know if it can reach the amount you want." Zhao Kuo suddenly understood in his heart that this guy was unwilling to give it. Isn't he the final word for how much food stored in his family? Zhao Kuo asked in confusion: "I heard that you have made friends with all the famous talents in the world. You love them and they respect you. Do they refuse to lend you food to you?"

“Not that…”

"What kind of friends do you make? Friends who are unwilling to help you at this time will definitely not be able to live and die with you in the future. Please recognize them. And your disciples, who enjoy the wealth you give them on weekdays, but do not say a word at this moment. Such disciples cannot solve their confusion for the Lord. What's the use of coming?"

"You!!", at this moment, several guests couldn't help it, and stood up one after another, shouting: "I'm willing to send all the corn in my house!"

"Me too!!"

"Go together!"

Seeing the excited appearance of the disciples, Zhao Kuo was shocked again and murmured: "I thought Pingyuan Jun's disciples were all selfish villains. Unexpectedly, there were such righteous men, Li Yu, later you can collect the corn they sent and register it in the book! So as not to have any villains mingle with these gentlemen!" Li Yu, who was sitting not far away, hurriedly got up and said, "I understand."

Zhao Kuo then looked at Zhao Sheng, leaned over and bowed, and said, "Then I would like to thank you for your help. I will bring your food back this time. If you are your real friend, you will definitely send the food to me. If you just pretend to be friends with you but refuse to help, please be more vigilant and never make friends with such people."

Zhao Sheng's face twitched, but he didn't say anything.

"By the way, there is one more thing, I want to ask you for help. I came here this time and only brought one vehicle. Can you lend me some carriages so that I can transport corn?"
