Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Master Zhang and Grandpa Taizu are quarreling?" Weiling and Baili were surprised when they heard it, "Father, what happens next?"

"Later, Emperor Taizu was very angry, and immediately called the guards outside the door to grab Mr. Zhang. The guards ran into the palace and tied up Mr. Zhang. That's it, Mr. Zhang still didn't admit defeat, shouting that he was right, Taizu I was so angry that I wanted to kill him, but after I calmed down, I admired him very much in my heart. I felt that Mr. Zhang is a rare talent, so I told him that if the emperor wants to accept his strategy of governing the country, he must pass the exam. Jinshi became a real official of the imperial court and came to see you again, and then ordered the imperial guards to pull Master Zhang out of the palace."

"Did Master Zhang meet Grandpa Taizu after he became a Jinshi?"

Defang shook her head and sighed, "No, Mr. Zhang did live up to Taizu's expectations and became a Jinshi, but in that year, Emperor Taizu passed away..."

"Father" Wei Ling looked at Defang, "I'm sorry..."

"Why are you saying sorry?" Defang looked at Weiling, "Father is fine, be good."

"Father, will you still tell Ling'er a story?"

"Of course I have to tell you, and I have to talk a lot more, hehehe." Defang took a few breaths and said, "Father, let me tell you something interesting about Mr. Zhang."

"Is there something interesting about Mr. Zhang? Ling'er wants to hear it!"

Defang smiled and said, "Master Zhang has a very big appetite, and he can eat five bowls in one meal."

"Five big bowls? The stomach is still not broken!"

"This is still the amount of a meal on weekdays." Defang shook his head and said, "Master Zhang was poor when he was young, and he often didn't have enough to eat. After he reached the age of the crown, his appetite suddenly increased, but his family was not rich. He Just drink a lot of water before every meal, and he only eats a lot during the Chinese New Year."

"How much can that adult eat?"

"It's hard to say." Defang frowned and said, "Father heard that before he was a sergeant, he was very hungry one day, and it was hard to tell his mother, so he thought of catching fish in the river outside the city. On the way, he saw a family next to him slaughtering cattle. Mr. Zhang was very greedy when he saw the meat. All the peeled cowhide was given to him, Master Zhang took the cowhide and thanked him, then ran home, cooked two big pots, sat at the door and ate it all by himself."

"Ah?!" Baili was startled this time, "Master Zhang, is that a stomach? A whole piece of cowhide! Even the small ones will take half a month!"

"Hahaha, yes, you are enough to eat, but you are not as fat as Mr. Zhang."

"That's that." Baili patted his head, "Master Zhang has been a prime minister, but he is different from ordinary people."

"Then he is too different. Gu Wang also heard a rumor that Mr. Zhang could eat it. It was said that when he was the magistrate of Anzhou, it was known to everyone that he could eat it. There was a local cook who wanted to see what Mr. Zhang had. He can eat a lot, so when he was treating guests, he asked several people to carry a big bucket in the backyard. When he saw what Mr. Zhang was eating, he poured a plate into the bucket according to the food he ate. Mr. Zhang drank a glass of wine and poured it into the bucket too. Pour a glass of wine, and wait until the banquet is over, Baili, guess how much food Master Zhang ate and how much wine he drank?"

Baili raised his head and thought for a while, "Why do you need half a bucket?"
