Giant Ship Across the Song Dynasty: My Supplies Come from My Motherland

Chapter 31, No Morals, No Limits

What to do if you have money?

Inviting someone to dinner.

Without saying a word, Lin Zhou hired an outside chef and went on a spree of dinners for Cao Wenda, and not just for him, but for a whole circle of people related to him.

The extent of his extravagance was so extreme that even Cao Wenda was secretly alarmed. He already knew that this kid was greedy and lustful, but he never expected him to be so wasteful.

At lunchtime, there would be twenty dishes for eight people at one table, and each dish was piled high on the plate. One meal could feed a well-off family for three months.

"Hahaha, eat, eat, eat. I don't have many hobbies, just eating and drinking."

Lin Zhou, his face flushed from drinking, greeted the guests: "This sudden windfall, becoming a rich man overnight, feels truly wonderful! Brothers, please don't laugh at me, I was terrified of poverty. Back in Nanyang, the locals were like monkeys, eating fruit when they were hungry, which was quite annoying to look at... Enough said, let's eat!"

After the meal, there was still plenty of food on the table. Lin Zhou looked at the leftovers and waved his hand dismissively, "Throw it away, we'll make something new tonight."

Cao Wenda clicked his tongue in disapproval upon hearing this: "Brother Lin, why are you doing this? All this good meat and vegetables, you just want to throw it away?"

"Of course," Lin Zhou said, tossing his head. "Who wants to eat leftovers?"

As he spoke, he picked up a skewer and began picking his teeth: "Brother Cao, how about we find some fun later?"

"Since Brother Lin has put it that way, why don't we go to Shuiyunfang on West Lake?"

"No way, no way. They're all just pretentious types. They can only spout nonsense. So boring."

"Then..." Cao Wenda took a deep breath, his face flushed red. "How about going to Zuixianlou? They still have Liu Sanbian's handwritten poems there."

"It's still brothels, no way, so boring." Lin Zhou waved his hand and said, "These kinds of places get boring after one or two visits. It's just the same old stuff over and over again, girls' legs, women's waists, so uninteresting."

"Brother, you've only been prosperous for a few days, sigh..."

Cao Wenda shook his head silently. He had seen many people who became rich overnight and then lost their heads. He didn't expect Lin Zhou to be the same kind of person. But it was good. Such people were stupid and didn't have much brains, so they didn't have much sense of caution.

The guests nearby naturally started discussing it amongst themselves, with some saying they wanted to go to the casino, others saying they wanted to go horse racing, and all sorts of other games were suggested.

"You might as well feed the dogs."

Lin Zhou picked his teeth, his face flushed, a ferocious smile on his face.

"Feeding the dog?"

Lin Zhou pointed to the leftover food on the table: "The most interesting thing in the world is wasting people's time. Let's take this to the south of the city, hehe... watch those poor bastards fight over the food like dogs, ah, just thinking about it makes me happy."

Cao Wenda shuddered, turned his head to look at the young man beside him, a tremor running from his tailbone all the way to the back of his head.

Isn't this a living beast...?

Cao Wenda considered himself not a good person, even a bad one, but even a bad person like him had never thought of such a thing. Just thinking about it made him feel unclean, and he would slap himself in the middle of the night.

However, when he spoke just now, the sweetness he exuded from the inside out sent chills down Cao Wenda's spine.

Last time they used a poor man to test a potent drug, and this time they're going to feed it to a dog...

"Brother Lin..."

Cao Wenda wanted to persuade Lin Zhou to retain some humanity, saying that he would be struck by lightning for doing such a thing... and that if he were to become an official in the future, these things he had done might become excuses for his political enemies to attack him.

Before Cao Wenda could even speak, his guests and friends nearby immediately chimed in.

During the meal, someone laughed and said, "When I was a child, my family raised chickens. My favorite thing to do was to hold a handful of grains, clucking and calling out, and then watch the chickens come over to snatch the food."

"Hahaha, yes, yes, back in the day we had a few dogs at home, and feeding them was quite a wild experience."

You all deserve to die a horrible death.

Cao Wenda cursed inwardly, but maintained his usual smile: "This is not good."

"Manager Cao, what's wrong with that? It's just giving some food to the poor, which is still doing a good deed, hahaha... Wait here, I'll go get some cakes."

"I'll go too, I'll go too. I'll get some food to feed the chickens."

Lin Zhou laughed heartily: "Don't use new rice, those poor bastards don't deserve it!"

Seeing their enthusiastic response, Cao Wenda felt his scalp tingle. He sat there scratching his head, his face turning extremely ugly.

You have to understand that he was someone who crawled out of poverty, and what they are doing now seems to be feeding their past selves like feeding dogs.

When she looked back at Lin Zhou, her eyes unconsciously filled with resentment and hatred. But Lin Zhou was drunk at the moment, humming a song while tapping the table with one hand and holding Ying Ge'er's hand with the other. He was acting like a beast.

It's strange, but once a person starts doing bad things, they really don't mind the trouble. Most of these people were merchants on Cao Wenda Road, and they were not short of money. They managed to gather seven or eight cartloads of food on their round trip.

"This is way too much," Lin Zhou said, looking at the amount of food. "We're going to feed the dogs, are you really planning to feed them until they're stuffed?"

"Alright," one of the merchants, surnamed He, said drunkenly, "Let's pool together more, feed them separately, and whoever finishes feeding last gets to treat everyone at Zuixianlou tonight!"

"Alright, alright! We need something special!" Others immediately chimed in, "But this little bit isn't enough for everyone. Come on, let me add some more. Someone, go to my shop and fetch three hundred catties of rice, steam it all!"

"Haha, Mr. Xu is so generous!"

"When you're having fun, you should naturally enjoy it to the fullest."

"Manager Cao, what do you mean? You're not playing? You're not giving me face! Aren't you being disrespectful?!"

Those people all have powerful connections, so they just get together to have fun and no one puts others in their place. Cao Wenda has been keeping quiet all this time, so naturally some troublemakers have started to stir up trouble.

"No, no." Cao Wenda hated Lin Zhou to the core at this moment. He looked up and smiled insincerely, "I see that all the brothers have prepared everything. I don't know what to get myself."

"What's going on? It's just feeding the dogs." Lin Zhou stepped forward and waved his hand. "Let's go, let's settle this quickly!"

Cao Wenda was a man who cared about his reputation, so he couldn't let Lin Zhou humiliate him like that. He gritted his teeth, took out his money, and bought five hundred cakes.

This man is shrewd. Dividing the pancakes is the fastest and takes up the most space, but it costs the least money. Even in this kind of thing, Cao Wenda still wants to gain the upper hand and win.

The group arrived in the southern city, and everyone looked at the bewildered, poor children as if they were dogs. Then Lin Zhou threw a bowl on the ground, his tone laced with disdain: "Come on, come on, eat! Slurp slurp slurp~~~"

"Damn it, you beast..." Cao Wenda cursed under his breath, gritting his teeth.
