Chapter 503 What do you want to do after you become rich?
Zhou Su shook her feet and said, "Brother, then you don't have to be the richest man. Your life is good enough now."
Zhou Mi said: "Yes, now we don't have the best food every day, but we still have fish and meat, and we don't lack your meat."
Zhou Gu touched his head and said, "I really can't think of anything. What about you guys? What do you want to do?"
He feels that his life now is very good. He has meat to eat, warm clothes to wear, a big brick and tile house to live in, a lot of land at home, and a lot of money. It is simply a god-like life.
Zhou Mai said: "If I had a lot of money, I would buy a lot of books, make a few big bookshelves, and build a study room at home to store these books."
Zhou Mi added: "We also need to buy a lot of land and a huge granary, which can be filled with enough food for the whole family to eat for ten years!"
Zhou Xing thought for a moment and said, "Then I will buy lots and lots of all kinds of beautiful fabric jewelry and change them every day."
Everyone laughed.
Zhou Su couldn't think of anything. He felt that his life now was good enough. He had enough food and clothes every day and his family was around him.
Everyone else finished speaking and then looked at Zhou Guo.
Even the old man looked at her, wanting to see what his little disciple was going to do after becoming rich.
Zhou Guo's thoughts gradually drifted away. Groups of homeless refugees, with numb faces, bloated bellies, haggard faces, heart-wrenching cries, the pain of eating their own children, elderly people over fifty with no one to support them, orphans who had lost their parents, and all the hungry faces appeared before her.
In troubled times, people are no longer human!
She said, "I wish there would be no famine in the world."
Everyone at the table looked at each other.
Zhou Gu was confused. "What, what is famine?"
No one answered him.
Zhou Su couldn't bear to see this and said, "Brother, no one is hungry."
After all, you went to school for a year or two, how come you don’t know this?
Zhou Gu suddenly realized and said in disbelief: "No one in the world is hungry?! Who can do that? Besides, isn't this something that the officials and the emperor should take care of? What does it have to do with us? How can we have such ability?"
"Yes." Li said, "We are just ordinary people. Even if we can't bear to see people suffer, how can we have the ability to make everyone in the world not hungry? We are not Bodhisattvas."
The old man looked at Zhou Guo with a different look in his eyes, knowing that she was not lying. He then thought about what she had done during this period, which had helped so many people on the verge of starvation to have food to eat. He never knew that this little disciple had such a big ambition. But was this ambition a little too big?
I couldn't help but persuade him, "Zhou Guo, it's good for people to have big ambitions, but can you set smaller ones? Who can achieve your ambitions? Throughout history, even in prosperous times, there were countless beggars on the streets. It's simply wishful thinking and daydreaming. It's impossible to achieve!"
How could Zhou Guo not know this? He smiled and said, "Master, I just said that. I didn't say I would make it come true. Can't I still have dreams?"
Even in her lifetime, there were still many people struggling to make ends meet, let alone at this time.
Zhou Mai and Zhou Mi had been in school for such a long time, and had read about family, country and the world countless times, but they had never thought of feeding everyone in the world, because they all knew that it was impossible. But Zhou Guo, a woman who had never been to school, was able to remember to make sure that all refugees in the world would not go hungry. Compared with her, the two felt extremely ashamed of themselves.
No one spoke for a moment. It seemed that Zhou Guo, a small person, now looked unusually tall.
"The dishes are here, the dishes are here." The waiter came up with the dishes, breaking the silence instantly.
Zhou Guo said with a smile: "Mom, Master, you haven't tasted the food in Baoyue Tower yet, come and try it."
The dishes in big restaurants are different, they are exquisite and beautiful, and they have everything you want.
Li looked at the fish with a strange shape and didn't know how to pick up her chopsticks. "It's so beautifully arranged, like a flower, who would be willing to eat it?"
Zhou Mai smiled and said, "Mom, just think of it as the steamed buns you made. The steamed buns you made are all beautiful, and you don't seem to feel bad when you eat them. You eat a head and half of the body in one bite."
Li said, "How can they be the same?"
Zhou Guo said: "Why is it different? I think this is not as exquisite as the steamed buns you made."
After a while, more dishes came up.
The last ones to come out were crab and pine mushroom.
The table was full, and the waiter said with a smile, "Ms. Zhou, your dishes are ready. Take your time to eat. We will go down first."
Zhou Guo nodded with a smile and took a crab for each of them. Although crabs were available in Baoyue Tower, it was difficult for the boys to eat them on a normal basis.
The two of them were very happy holding the crabs, with smiles on their faces. They wrapped the crabs in a handkerchief and put them solemnly in their arms.
She knew that the two of them would take the food back to their families. Whenever she brought them some delicious food, she would treasure it in her arms and take it back to her family.
After a while, another waiter came up with two jugs of wine.
Zhou Guo said to the old man, "Master, try this wine. It was given to me by Shopkeeper Yang."
The old man poured a glass, sniffed it, took a sip, closed his eyes and tasted it, then patted his thigh and said, "Good wine!"
Zhou Gu at the side couldn't help but hold out his wine glass, "Sir, can you pour me a glass too?"
The old man said cheerfully: "Okay, come on, it would be better if you learn how to drink. Otherwise, it would be so boring for me to drink alone."
Zhou Guo was not willing to be outdone and also extended his wine glass.
The old man glared, "Why, you want to drink too?"
Li said, "Yes, you are still a little kid, why would you drink wine? Just taste it with a chopstick."
Zhou Guo said, "Just now you said I'm grown up, but now I'm still a kid when I want to drink? I won't drink too much, just one glass. Besides, I drink a lot outside, one glass and half a glass. It's useless for you to stop me from drinking."
Mrs. Li sighed, it was not good for the child to be too capable. He was so young, but he was out of control. He walked outside all day long, and she had no idea what he did. She was less than 30 years old, but she felt like an old lady in her 70s or 80s.
The old man poured her a glass, and the master and his two apprentices drank the wine and ate the food happily.
The plate of pine mushrooms worth one or two taels of silver was placed in the middle. Zhou Guo counted them and it seemed that their table had two mushrooms. Even if the amount was increased, each person could at least have one.
After tasting a piece, he nodded and said, "It seems to be better than what we made at home. You guys try it."
"Really?" Everyone tasted a piece in doubt, and the plate was empty as soon as they picked it up, as if the number of people was counted. If someone were to invite guests and there were many people, one plate would not be enough, so they would need five or six plates, which would cost five or six taels of silver. Who could afford this?
Li was the first to shake her head and said, "I can't tell the difference. I just think they are about the same."
Zhou Gu couldn't taste it either, he just felt they were all the same, all had the same flavor.
Zhou Mai and the others did taste the difference, but it didn’t seem too bad.
