The book is followed last time.

"This... is, the disciple knows." Cao Ang nodded with embarrassment after hearing Li Zhi's words.

Although he did have some opinions about Li Zhi in his heart, he was still a little uncomfortable when suddenly mentioned.

At this moment, he was even more complaining about Li Zhi in his heart, why didn’t he cover him up and insist on expressing his little thoughts? He didn’t know how to protect his apprentice at all, and he was too unethical!

If you know what Cao Ang was thinking, you would definitely slap him in the face!

Well, I am worried about planning for you, but in the end I can still make you complain. What's the use of an apprentice like you?!

Fortunately, Cao Ang is not a fool either, and he did not dare to express his complaints.

Time passes slowly in this awkward atmosphere...

After a stick of incense, the old man walked out with a shabby pot and two wooden bowls.

He put the wooden board on the table, poured a bowl of water for the two of them, and said with a smile: "The old man's family is poor and there is no tea to entertain you. I hope you two gentlemen don't want to be surprised."

"Haha...it's okay." After hearing the old man's words, Li Zhi immediately shook his head with a smile, picked up a bowl of water and took a big sip, and said, "The well water here is as clear as honey, very delicious, but it is much better than those messy teas. Someone loves to drink white water."

After saying that, he took another sip, as if he really liked drinking it, like the well water.

"Haha... It's good if you're satisfied with it." Seeing Li Zhi drinking so sweetly, the old man immediately became a happy flower, as if even the wrinkles on his face were smiling.

For poor families like him, few people would appreciate them. They are also human beings and urgently need others to affirm them.

Just like at this moment, although Li Zhi only praised his whole life in a fake way, he could also satisfy the old man.

In fact, the well water is a bit astringent, and the old man may have not boiled the water because he was too anxious, so he tasted a bit earthy.

But what Li Zhi drank was not water, but a sincere heart!

They have never known this old man, but not only did not dislike them, but instead treated them warmly. This intention cannot be disappointed!

So, even if the well water is hard to drink, Li Zhi drinks it very sweetly, as if he is really drinking honey water!

"Is this really delicious?" Cao Ang, who was beside him, frowned and muttered, then picked up the water and took a sip...

"Puff..." As soon as the water entered his mouth, Cao Ang immediately sprayed it out as if he had drunk some poison.

Then, he rubbed the corner of his mouth with his hands hard, looked at Li Zhiwen with a weird look, "Teacher, do you really think this water tastes good?"

"Of course it tastes good!" Li Zhi ignored Cao Ang's strange expression, nodded for granted, and looked at him seriously and said, "I believe that even if your father is here, he will definitely praise him after drinking this water, and even treat this water as nectar wine!"

Li Zhi said this very confidently, because he believed that if Cao Cao saw that the people under his rule were so hospitality, he would definitely be very happy.

"..." Cao Ang heard this and looked at Li Zhi who was like drinking honey water, and then looked at the worn wooden bowl in his hand, his expression even more strange.

Then he took a sip of water and swallowed hard.

But after savoring for a long time, he couldn't taste what good the water was.

So he could only put down the water in his hand and asked at the old man with confusion: "Old sir, do you think this water is delicious, too?"

"It's okay," the old man nodded and said, "I've been drinking this water since I was a child, but I didn't notice anything wrong. It's quite delicious and quenched my thirst."

"..." Cao Ang is a little suspicious of life now. The water is obviously very astringent, so why does the old man say it is very quenching his thirst, and Li Zhi is even more like drinking honey water. Is it really because his taste is different from others?

"Haha..." Li Zhi looked at Cao Ang who was doubting life from the corner of his eyes, and chuckled and said nothing.

Of course he knew why the old man said that the water was delicious.

Nonsense, if you want to drink a kind of bad water for the rest of your life, you will also think that the water should taste this.

Although this well water is hard to drink, the old man is used to drinking the well water, so he feels that the water has always tasted this way.

Moreover, for the elderly, water is a thirst quenching thing, so any water that can quench thirst is delicious to the elderly.

Cao Ang is different. Cao Cao has never treated Cao Ang unfairly, so he has been drinking spring water that his servants specially go to to make since he was a child.

And this kind of mountain spring water is very clear and has no bitter taste at all.

Moreover, sometimes Cao Cao would add some honey to Cao Ang's water. In this way, Cao Ang would certainly feel that this a bit astringent well water is hard to drink.

Although Li Zhi knew this truth, he did not intend to expose him. Who made Cao Ang dare to question him or even disobey him? So he planned to let him suffer some trouble before talking about it.

After thinking of this, Li Zhi put down the bowl and winked at Cao Ang.

Seeing this, Cao Ang immediately thought of the question Li Zhi had just said, and asked the old man seriously: "Old sir, I have a question in a certain family who wants to ask you."

"This..." After hearing this, the old man looked at Li Zhi with a embarrassed look, and smiled bitterly: "The little old man has been a farmer since he was a child. He has never been to school and is even more illiterate. How can he teach the young man?"

"Haha..." Li Zhi chuckled, waved his hand and said, "As the saying goes, there must be my teacher when three people go!

Although the old man has never been to school, he has lived for so long and has a very rich experience. It is still okay to teach me this stupid disciple."

"..." Although Cao Ang was a little dissatisfied with the name of Li Zhi, the stupid disciple, he did not say much, but nodded and said, "The teacher is right. After all, the old man is an experienced person, and he will definitely make a fortune for a certain family!"

"This...well." The old man nodded reluctantly and said, "As long as the young man is not rude, just ask."

Upon hearing this, Cao Ang immediately asked impatiently: "In the old man's opinion, which is more important, dignity or money?"

"What are you familiar with?" After hearing Cao Ang's words, the old man asked with a confused look on his face: "I know that as for dignity... the young man is talking about face, right?

He can't cook these two things, either, or steam them, how can they be cooked?"

"..." Cao Ang immediately froze after hearing this.

He has never passed, and others can't understand what he said, he has clearly

The scriptures say this sentence very easily and easily understood.

Seeing this, Li Zhi suppressed his smile and explained to the old man: "Old sir, my disciple is asking you, which one do you think is important, face or money?"

"Hey! You're not enough to say that earlier? You really can't understand your kind words."

After complaining to Cao Ang, the old man lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

"..." Cao Ang really didn't know what to say now. What he said just now was obviously very easy to understand. How could this old man blame him if he couldn't understand?

However, Li Zhi was here, and he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so he could only suppress his anger and wait for the old man's answer.

After a long time, the old man raised his head, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "The old man really doesn't know how to answer this question from the young man.

If it is in extreme poverty, the young man is willing to give up all his face and just seek to survive!

But as long as the family can fill their stomachs, the old man will certainly have some shame.

After all, if a person lives a face and a tree lives a skin, he will not be forced to a desperate situation, and the old man still needs shame."

"..." After hearing the old man's words, Cao Ang fell into silence and thought to himself: "If the granaries are full, you will know etiquette; if you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace. This is true!"

"Haha..." Li Zhi didn't feel much emotion after hearing the old man's words. Because he had known the answer for a long time, he continued to ask: "What is the situation in the old man now? Should he save face or fill his stomach first?"

"This..." After hearing Li Zhi's words, the old man looked embarrassed. After hesitating for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said with a red face: "Don't be satisfied with the two gentlemen, the old man is still focusing on filling his family's stomachs!

As for face and other things, the old man really doesn’t care about it!

Because the family is almost out of business, if you want face, you may really starve to death.”

After saying that, he looked a little ashamed.

To be honest, if the family was not really poor, he wouldn't have just taken out a bowl of white water to entertain guests.

Seeing this, Li Zhi immediately comforted with a smile: "Haha... the old man doesn't have to be ashamed of this.

The old man was so poor, but he still warmly treated me. How dare I ask for anything else?"

Speaking of this, he was afraid that the old man would feel guilty, so he changed the subject and asked, "How many people are in the old man's family?"

"Six" Speaking of population, a look of sadness appeared on the old man's face and said, "Now, there are young old men in the family, young men's old woman, son, daughter-in-law, and two grandsons."

Speaking of this, the old man said with some grief and anger: "Originally, the old man had six sons, but two of them starved to death in the chaos of war, and three of them were captured and the life and death of the strong man is still unknown.

Now only one son is left to support the old man. I just hope that the government will not arrest the strong men again, otherwise the old man's lineage will probably be extinct!"

"..." After hearing the old man's words, Li Zhi's face looked a little ugly, and he didn't know what to say.

He was not qualified to comfort the old man at all, because the old man's two sons were probably dead in the original battle in Jizhou!
