Chapter 356: Delicious Flatbread

Zhang Yu's three kowtows were very loud.

Xiao Lujing was just about to speak when he suddenly heard a strange sound.

"Gurgle..."

He knitted his brows and looked at Zhang Yu, who was kneeling on the ground.

Zhang Yu also looked embarrassed as he clutched his stomach and stood up.

"That... Young Hero Xiao, I haven't eaten since yesterday, so my stomach is too empty and won't listen to me. It's embarrassing, please don't take offense."

Xiao Lujing kept a cold face, "Isn't it just hunger? Take this."

After saying this, he took a paper parcel from his bosom and threw it to Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu caught it subconsciously, feeling somewhat bewildered.

"This, what is this?"

Xiao Lujing was brief and to the point, "Food. I'm not hungry this morning, you take it and eat first."

Zhang Yu was greatly surprised, "How could I?"

"If I tell you to eat, then eat. Stop with the nonsense."

A burst of fragrance wafted from the round paper parcel; Zhang Yu had wanted to be polite for a few more words, but the gluttonous worm in his stomach kept protesting.

Although he was the Leader of the Peasant Army, he had been suffering from hunger and cold along with everyone else and had never eaten anything good.

Starving until now, Zhang Yu could no longer hold back and tore open the paper parcel.

Inside the parcel were two soft buns, with a piece of pan-fried meat and a few green leaves sandwiched in the middle, which was very strange.

Zhang Yu had never seen such a large bun before; smelling the mouth-watering aroma, he couldn't help but take a bite.

Instantly, he revealed an expression of shock.

"This flatbread, why is it so delicious?"

The bun was fragrant and sweet, and the sandwiched fried meat was overflowing with savory flavor.

"Good heavens, the flatbread is too delicious." Zhang Yu wolfed it down, finishing the flatbread in his hand in just a few bites, still wanting more.

He looked up and was startled to find that the surrounding Peasant Army had all crowded over, looking at him with eager eyes.

"Leader Zhang, what does this bun taste like?"

Only then did Zhang Yu remember that he had only focused on eating himself and hadn't let everyone have a taste, and his face immediately turned embarrassed.

Qin Zhan stood to the side, finding it amusing, and took two more paper parcels from his bosom, throwing them into Zhang Yu's hands.

"This is what I didn't eat this morning, you all take it and eat first."

"This is called a Hamburger, made by an eatery named 'McDonald's' in Bai's hometown. I heard that the people of the Western Regions where she is from love to eat this."

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding crowd became restless again.

"It's actually a delicacy from the Western Regions. Bai is truly capable to be able to get food from the Western Regions."

Zhang Yu took the two paper parcels, and the surrounding crowd immediately stared at them intently.

They also wanted to eat this Western Regions delicacy.

"Line up properly, everyone can only have one bite," Zhang Yu had to shout sternly.

There was too little, not enough to go around, so everyone could only have a taste.

Everyone immediately lined up in two rows, just waiting to taste the Western Regions flatbread.

The person at the front took a small bite and their eyes immediately lit up.

"Delicious!"

The people behind followed closely, took a small bite, and also exclaimed.

"This flatbread is even better than what my mother makes."

But the Hamburger was really too small, so even if everyone took one bite, it was quickly eaten up.

Those who didn't get to eat sighed and lamented.

Some even took the oil paper that wrapped the Hamburger and kept licking it, licking all the breadcrumbs off clean.

This scene was very comical and funny.

But Qin Zhan and Xiao Lujing did not laugh; instead, they stood quietly to the side.

They had also suffered from hunger and cold, and knew the misery of starvation better than anyone.

These Peasant Army members were all poor commoners; some had never eaten a good meal or worn new clothes in their entire lives, and the grain they had worked so hard to grow was confiscated by the government under heavy taxes.

Along the way, Bai Wei brought out all kinds of delicacies to feed them every day; besides Hamburgers, there were Steak, Roast Chicken, Roast Duck, and Mountain Delicacies... The Northern Frontier Army was no longer surprised by Hamburgers.

But to these Peasant Army members, the Hamburger was a delicacy fallen from the sky.

The Peasant Army in the courtyard was in an uproar. Zhang Yu looked at the two of them and said embarrassedly, "The two of you, I have let you see a joke."

Xiao Lujing shook his head, his voice calm.

"Leader Zhang, the Hamburgers were breakfast brought to us by Bai. Everyone didn't finish them, and there is still some left in the kitchen."

"If you want to eat Hamburgers, I will go back and talk to Bai to see if we can have those Hamburgers left in the kitchen transported over to you."

Zhang Yu was immediately overjoyed, "Really? Then, then I thank Bai."

Xiao Lujing said, "No need, just as long as you follow Bai's instructions and act according to her requirements."

After saying this, he turned and left.

After the people left, Zhang Yu returned to the noisy courtyard.

In the courtyard, the Peasant Army had already started eating. Everyone held their bowls, shoveling the still-hot white rice into their mouths, and everyone's face was filled with smiles.

Zhang Yu coughed.

"Listen to me, all of you. I need fifteen strong people who are not afraid of death to go with Bai tomorrow night to attack the Fusang People."

As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen people immediately stood up.

"I'm in!"

Immediately after, many more people came to their senses, and with a whoosh, over a hundred more stood up.

"Count us in too."

"Leader Zhang, if you need people, call on me; I'm not afraid of death."

In the blink of an eye, several hundred people had stood up.

Everyone had received kindness from Bai, and they thanked and trusted her from the bottom of their hearts.

Now that Bai wanted to fight the Fusang People, it aligned with their own goals, and everyone was willing to go.

Zhang Yu nodded with satisfaction, picked out fifteen with good physical fitness, gathered them together, and told them to eat their fill and rest well so they would have the strength to attack the Dye House tomorrow.

As for the remaining Peasant Army, he picked out over three hundred more who were sound of limb and free of illness, and had them responsible for surrounding the outside of the Dye House tomorrow night to prevent any from slipping through the net.

Inside the inn.

Bai Wei had already finished lunch and was taking things out of the Warehouse.

In the room, there were over a dozen boxes of burgers and Fried Chicken.

Just now, Xiao Lujing had returned and asked if the remaining burgers in the kitchen could be given to the Peasant Army to eat.

Bai Wei thought about it, then took a batch out from the Warehouse.

These Fried Chicken and burgers were all things she had bought from KFC, McDonald's, and Dicos when she came to Daliang, all stored in the freezer on the first floor.

There was still plenty left, so taking a little for the Peasant Army to taste would serve as a reward for them in advance.

She pointed at the boxes, "Lu Jing, have someone deliver this food to Zhang Yu in a while."

"So much?" Qin Zhan watched, dumbfounded, "This Zhang Yu is truly lucky; as soon as he arrives, he has water and grain, and now he even gets to eat burgers and Fried Chicken."

Bai Wei smiled, "It's fine, I still have plenty in the Warehouse, it's enough."

Her five-story large Warehouse stored a great many supplies.

As long as she could win over Zhang Yu and add another source of strength for Beijiang, what did this food matter?

At this moment, someone outside the door reported.

"Prince, Leader Zhang has arrived with fifteen members of the Death Squad."

Xiao Moting stood up immediately, "Let him in."

According to the plan, they were to attack the Fusang People's encampment tomorrow; time was tight, and it had to be kept secret.

Xiao Moting looked at Bai Wei with deep, piercing eyes, as if he wanted to see right through her.

【87】 Xiao Moting looked at Bai Wei, his eyes deep, as if he wanted to see right through her.
