Zhu Yun Yun also smelled, the flavor is particularly fragrant.
The source of the aroma is a small restaurant that does not even have a signboard, although there is no signboard without a front, but with a smoky fire, the most vivid angry child.
Two large iron pots at the entrance of the small store, gurgling open, hot with a tantalizing aroma.
People in this era are generally two meals, this time is the second half of the meal. The small restaurant is filled with open-chested men pushing cups and swapping cups, eating and drinking. The burly shopkeeper, from time to time carrying a chopper from the back of the kitchen poked his head out, and familiar with the old customers to tell jokes.
The bright boss's wife is not shy, right in her own store hand serving food to clean up the dishes, a half-grown child at the door is a small fellow, a clean towel on the shoulders, smiling and selling.
Life is like this, the world of smoke and mirrors is roughly like this. Just like the latter day Zhu Yun Yun often go to the fast food restaurant, get used to the taste there, and the boss boss lady mixed well, even if it is a big hotel do not want to go.
Seeing a line of people over, the little fellow smiled and ran two steps quickly, nodded and greeted.
"Master, are you dining?"
As soon as the little fellow opened his mouth, Zhu Yuanzhang instantly smiled with a frown on his face, as the other party's words carried a Huai sound.
Yingtian City was the capital city of the Ming Dynasty, and more than half of the officials and dignitaries in the Ming Dynasty from Zhu Yuanzhang downwards were all Huai people who came from the grass. There is a poem that says, "The short clothes on the horse are all Chu guests, and the high buns in the city are all Huai people.
Therefore, since Zhu Yuanzhang built the capital of Yingtianfu, there were more people from the Huai land in the city, especially from their hometown of Huaxi, and many of them dragged their families to the flowery world of Yingtianfu to make a living.
Thus, Zhu Yuanzhang's words also took on the accent of his hometown, "What all is there to eat?"
"Master, we're from the same hometown! My family is from Huaixi!" The little fellow smiled even more, wiped a table again and again, replaced the clean tea, stood on the side and laughed, "Today our little store has fresh river fish and shrimp from the lake outside the city, and pig's jowl snatched from the market in the morning."
Said the little fellow with a low voice and a smile, "There are also a few big black dogs sent from the countryside manor, and the chef in charge of my small shop is my old uncle, an authentic Dingyuan County handicraft!"
"That's dog meat in the pot, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, "Come two pounds of fattened ones, and make a pot of wine." He said, looking at Zhu Yunzhang, "Da Sun, what are you eating?"
"Dog meat!" Zhu Yunyun heart funny, "This is if the later life of that what theists know, not scolded to death?"
He loved dogs and had raised dogs when he was a child in his previous life. He wouldn't take the initiative to eat dog meat, but if others did, he didn't think he was qualified to stop them.
Besides, most people are against eating those pet dogs, as for the most obedient and docile field dogs few people pay attention to.
However, if someone in this era said that this thing could not be eaten, he was afraid that he would not be cursed to death, but would be beaten to death. Moreover, the Huai Di had a long tradition in food.
"The dog's head from Dingyuan County, that's famous in all of Huaixi." Zhu Yuanzhang continued to laugh, "Back when your grandfather we were traveling as a monk, those rich wealthy old men at the head of the city, got up in the morning just to eat meat and drink morning wine, haha!"
"At that time, we thought, if we could live like that in our old age, with wine and meat. Tsk, I wouldn't do it for an emperor!"
Zhu Yun Yun laughed, "Grandchildren can eat anything!" Said, paused, "Grandpa, meat can't always eat, too oily, you're old, light is the main!"
Zhu Yuanzhang disdainfully said, "Don't listen to those imperial doctors nonsense, eating meat can still be wrong?" Said, waved his hand, "men do not eat meat, white in the world!"
This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
Probably, only with his favorite grandson, Zhu Yuanzhang can be so true to himself.
Not long after, the little fellow brought up the ordered meal.
Apart from the dog meat, Zhu Yunzhang also ordered a pot of braised small river fish. Fresh river fish with sauce and soy sauce soup, smothered in an iron pot for a while. When the pot is sprinkled with minced garlic, green onions and coriander, a bite down without biting, a suck will only be left with the thorns.
If you use the red soup to soak up the crystallized rice, a meal of three bowls is no problem.
"Da Sun, eat!" Zhu Yuanzhang ate and drank beautifully, this was the flavor of his hometown.
On the side, the guards who were pretending to be long attendants had already begun to feast. Either grabbing with their hands, or pulling out a small knife and cutting with a knife, eating that is called an enjoyable.
Zhu Yuanzhang was holding a wine cup, with a big smile on his face, "Good boy, eat vigorously!" Said, to Liao Ming whispered, "Back then, before crossing the river to fight Yingtianfu, we and your grandfather, one person gnawed a dog leg, drink a bowl of old wine. Then carrying a knife rushed in the forefront, Yingtianfu that Mongolian Daru Huachu, was your grandfather a knife cut under the horse."
Under a good mood, Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was easygoing, but his eyebrows were full of the jingoism of that year.
Liao Ming's grandfather and uncle were both naval generals under Zhu Yuanzhang, Duke Liao Yongan of Chu has always been a pioneer in water warfare, and then when fighting Zhang Shicheng, he was captured in a trap. In the face of Zhang Shicheng's high-ranking officials and generous salaries did not move, and finally died of hunger strike in the prison.
When the news of his death reached Yingtianfu, Zhu Yuanzhang was so pained that he personally set up a grave to honor the temple of the meritorious ministers. After defeating Zhang Shicheng, Zhu Yuanzhang personally found Liao Yongan's body and transported it back to Yingtian for burial and worship.
Later generations will probably only remember that Zhu Yuanzhang killed countless meritorious officials, but have selectively forgotten that if he was really a brutal and narrow-minded person, how could he win the love and support of so many good men in the world.
Hearing the emperor reminisce about the past, Liao Ming was moved. The seven-foot man couldn't help but weep on the spot, excited.
"Old master, I am useless to only be able to serve as a palace city guard under the remaining shade of my grandfathers." Liao Ming whispered, "Old master, the next time there is an expedition, please let me follow the army and be a good Daming man like my grandfathers!"
"Hehe, you're a big old man still drooling horse urine!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and scolded, then sighed slightly, "We're old too, it's your young ones' world from now on. It's no problem if you want to fight and make a name for yourself, follow your third master in the future and be a good soldier!"
The guards looked at Zhu Yunzhang with burning eyes, they followed Zhu Yuanzhang every day, more informed than the foreign ministers, naturally they knew who the future monarch would be.
"We are old, and those old generals of the Great Ming are also old. In the future, this capable military generals, we still need to rely on you to promote them!" Zhu Yuanzhang whispered to Zhu Yunzhang.
This kind of hint has been given more than once, this time Zhu Yunzhang didn't know what to say.
These days he helped Zhu Yuanzhang read the zhangbiao every day, and there were more and more small reports about the military generals and lords in those secret reports from the brocade guards.
These Daming's military generals are also really unlike, relying on the merits of the year's birth and death, private embezzlement of property, private storage of armor and crossbows, and even instructed the family slaves to sell private salt. The good man of the year, gradually became a worm of the Ming, let people regret at the same time, but also deeply disgusted.
Ask yourself, Zhu Yuanzhang is very harsh on the civil officials, the salary of the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty to support their families are enough. And for these meritorious officials, often rewarded tens of thousands of acres of land, gold and silver property is countless, but they are still not satisfied.
At this time, a brocade-clothed guard came at a quick pace. The emperor and grandson of the emperor is not a simple matter, the master and grandson where to go, in addition to the people on the surface, there are a bunch of people behind in the dark to pass the news.
The brocade guards walked to Zhu Yuanzhang's side, bowed his head and said, "Master, check it out ...."
"Speak to your Third Master!" Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be somewhat unwilling to listen.
The brocade guards walked over to Zhu Yunzhang again and lowered their voices, "Third Master, just now we have found out that the person behind that gambling house is the Marquis of Jiangxia!"
Marquis Jiangxia!
Zhou Dexing.
This person was Zhu Yuanzhang's childhood hairdresser, and after Zhu Yuanzhang became Guo Zixing's son-in-law, the first time he brought his hometown sons and daughters to join him.
Although this person's name ability is not as big as Xu Da and others, but the title is one of the twenty-four marquis of the founding of the country, there is the credit for the pacification of the land of Fujian, visible in the heart of Zhu Yuanzhang's weight.
But it is such a great marquis of Ming, actually open the gambling house business behind the scenes.
"Checked out?" Zhu Yunzhang opened his mouth and asked, "This is not a small matter, to check carefully!"
"Checked clearly, it's the trade of the Marquis of Jiangxia's family, it's Zhou Ji's trade."
Zhou Ji, Zhou Dexing's eldest son. It is the inner court guard foreman of the Forbidden City, usually stationed at the junction of the deep palace and the outer court.
Zhu Yunzhang looked up, and Zhu Yuanzhang's face was appalling.
"Eating imperial salaries and having millions of properties at home, actually doing this kind of business, really insatiable!" Zhu Yunzhang was also indignant in his heart, "Virtuous and corrupt!"
With such an episode, this meal is no fun to eat.
Hastily eaten, is ready to return to the palace, the long street side, two or three secret guards and ran quickly, look eager.
Zhu Yunyun heart thumped, "another accident!"
