Zhu Yunxi also smelled it, and the smell was particularly fragrant.
The source of the fragrance is a small restaurant that doesn't even have a signboard. Although there is no signboard or pretense, it is smoky and full of life.
There are two large iron pots at the entrance of the shop, sizzling and steaming with an alluring aroma.
People in this era usually had two meals, and this was the time to eat for the rest of the day. The small restaurant was full of open-minded men who exchanged cups and ate and drank. The burly owner of the shop often carried a
The kitchen knife poked its head out of the back kitchen, telling jokes to familiar regulars.
The cheerful proprietress did not shy away from it, and she personally prepared the dishes and put away the dishes in her own shop. A half-year-old boy was a waiter at the door, with a clean towel draped over his shoulders, and he was smiling and shouting hard.
The various aspects of life and the secular fireworks are basically like this. It's like the fast food restaurant that Zhu Yunxi often went to in later generations. After getting used to the taste and getting to know the boss and the wife, he didn't want to go even to a big hotel.
Seeing a group of people coming, the boy smiled and ran quickly, nodded and bowed to greet them.
Master, do you want to eat?
As soon as the young man opened his mouth, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately beamed, because there was a Huai sound in the other person's words.
Yingtian City was the capital of the Ming Dynasty. More than half of the high-ranking officials in the Ming Dynasty from Zhu Yuanzhang on down were Huai people from rough backgrounds. There was a poem that said, "On horseback, all the people wearing short clothes are handsome, and all the Huai people in the city have high buns."
Therefore, since Zhu Yuanzhang built Yingtian Mansion, there have been more and more people living in Huaidi in the city, especially in their hometown of Huaixi. Many people have brought their families to the colorful world of Yingtian Mansion to seek life.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang's words also brought the accent of his hometown. What is there to eat?
Old man, we are fellow villagers! Our family is from Huaixi! The boy smiled even more, wiped a table again and again, replaced it with clean tea, stood on the edge and said with a smile, today our little shop has
There are fresh river fish and shrimps in the lake outside the city, and there are pigs snatched from the market in the morning.
As he said this, the young man smiled in a low voice, and brought several big black dogs from the village village. My old uncle is the chef in our small restaurant, and he has authentic Dingyuan County craftsmanship!
That pot is just dog meat, right? Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile, two pounds of fatter meat and a pot of wine. He said, look at Zhu Yunxi, grandson, what are you eating?
Dog meat! Zhu Yunxi felt funny in his heart. If future generations knew about this, why would they not curse people to death?
He loves dogs and had a dog as a child in his previous life. He will not take the initiative to eat dog meat, but if others do, he doesn't think he has the right to stop them.
Besides, what most people object to is eating pet dogs. As for the most obedient and docile pastoral dogs, few people pay attention to them.
However, in this era, if someone says that this food cannot be eaten, I am afraid that they will not be scolded to death, but beaten to death. Moreover, Huai Di has a long tradition in food.
The dog heads in Dingyuan County are famous even in Huaixi. Zhu Yuanzhang continued to laugh and said, when your grandfather and I were traveling as monks, the rich old men in the city would eat meat and drink wine early in the morning, haha!
At that time, we were thinking that if we wait until we are old, we can also live a life like that, with wine and meat. Tsk, tsk, I wouldn’t do it even for an emperor!
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "My grandson can eat anything!" He paused and said, "Grandpa, you can't always eat meat. It's too oily. You're getting older, so keep it light!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said disdainfully, "Don't listen to the nonsense of those imperial doctors. Is there anything wrong with eating meat?" With a wave of his hand, a man would walk in this world in vain if he didn't eat meat!
Probably, only when he was with his favorite grandson could Zhu Yuanzhang reveal his true feelings like this.
After a while, the boy brought the food he ordered.
In addition to dog meat, Zhu Yunxi also ordered a pot of braised small river fish. The fresh river fish is simmered in the iron pot with sauce and soy sauce soup for a while. When it comes out of the pot, sprinkle with minced garlic, green onions and coriander, and eat it in one bite
No need to bite, just suck it and only the thorns will remain. (Coriander, coriander)
If you use the red soup to soak the crystal clear rice, you can have three bowls of it in one meal.
Grandson, eat! Zhu Yuanzhang was eating and drinking beautifully. This is the taste of his hometown.
Beside, the guards who pretended to be long-term followers had already begun to feast. They were either grabbing it with their hands or taking out their knives and cutting it with knives. It was a great pleasure to eat.
Zhu Yuanzhang was holding the wine cup with a big smile on his face, "Good boy, eat hard!" As he said that, he whispered to Liao Ming, "Back then, before crossing the river to fight at Yingtian Mansion, your grandfather and I each gnawed a dog leg and drank a bowl of old wine."
.Then he rushed to the front with a knife, and Meng Yuandalu Huachi from Yingtian Mansion was chopped off his horse by your grandfather.
In a good mood, Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was easy-going, but his brows were full of the warriors of the past.
Liao Ming's grandfather and uncle were both naval generals under Zhu Yuanzhang. Liao Yong'an, the Duke of Chu, had always been a pioneer in naval warfare. Later, when fighting Zhang Shicheng, he fell into a trap and was captured. Faced with Zhang Shicheng's high-ranking officials, he did not do anything
He was so moved that he eventually went on a hunger strike in prison and died.
When the news of his death reached Yingtian Mansion, Zhu Yuanzhang was so distressed that he personally set up a tomb to accompany the temple to worship heroes. After defeating Zhang Shicheng, Zhu Yuanzhang personally found Liao Yongan's body, transported it to Yingtian for a grand burial, and paid homage in person.
Future generations will probably only remember that Zhu Yuanzhang killed countless heroes, but they have selectively forgotten how he could have won the love and support of so many heroes in the world if he was really a cruel and narrow-minded person.
Liao Ming was deeply moved when he heard the emperor reminisce about the past. The seven-foot-tall man couldn't help but burst into tears on the spot, feeling extremely excited.
Old man, I have no choice but to serve as a palace guard under the shadow of my grandfathers. Liao Ming whispered, old man, next time there is an expedition, please let me go with the army and be a Ming Dynasty like my grandfather.
Man!
Hey, you old man still bleeds horse urine! Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and scolded, and then sighed slightly, we are getting old, and it will be your young world from now on. If you want to fight and make meritorious services, no problem, I will work hard with your Third Master from now on!
The guards looked at Zhu Yunxi with burning eyes. They followed Zhu Yuanzhang every day. They were better informed than the foreign ministers, so they naturally knew who the future monarch would be.
We are old, and so are the veteran generals of the Ming Dynasty. From now on, you will still have to rely on you to promote these capable generals! Zhu Yuanzhang whispered to Zhu Yunxi.
This hint has been given more than once, and this time Zhu Yunxi didn't know what to say.
These days, he helps Zhu Yuanzhang read the memorials every day. Among the secret reports from the Imperial Guards, there are more and more small reports about the noble military officers.
These military generals of the Ming Dynasty were really shameful. Relying on their merits through life and death, they secretly embezzled land, secretly hid soldiers, armor, bows and crossbows, and even ordered their domestic slaves to sell illicit salt. The good men back then gradually became the moths of the Ming Dynasty.
While people feel sorry for it, they are also deeply disgusted.
Ask yourself, Zhu Yuanzhang was very harsh on civil servants. The salaries of civil servants in the Ming Dynasty were not enough to support their families. But these meritorious officials were often rewarded with tens of thousands of acres of land and countless gold and silver properties, but they were still not satisfied.
At this time, a guard in brocade robes came quickly. It was not a simple matter for the emperor and his grandson to go out incognito. Wherever they went, in addition to the people on the surface, there were also a bunch of people behind them who were delivering news in the dark.
The guard in Jinyi walked to Zhu Yuanzhang, lowered his head and said, Old man, I found out...
Let me tell you, Third Master! Zhu Yuanzhang seems to not want to hear it.
Jin Yiwei walked up to Zhu Yunxi again and lowered his voice, "Third Master, I just found out that the person behind the gambling house is Jiang Xiahou!"
Jiang Xiahou!
Zhou Dexing.
This man was Zhu Yuanzhang's childhood friend. After Zhu Yuanzhang became Guo Zixing's son-in-law, he immediately brought his children from his hometown to join him.
Although this man was not as famous as Xu Da and others, his title was one of the 24 founding princes, and he had contributed to the pacification of Fujian, which shows his importance in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.
But such a Marquis of the Ming Dynasty actually opened a gambling house business behind his back.
Have you checked clearly? Zhu Yunxi asked, this is not a trivial matter, we need to check carefully!
It was found out clearly that it was the transaction of the Hou family of Jiangxia, and it was the transaction of Zhou Ji (ji).
Zhou Ji, the eldest son of Zhou Dexing, is the foreman of the inner court guards in the Forbidden City. He is usually stationed at the junction of the deep palace and the outer court.
Zhu Yunxi looked up and saw Zhu Yuanzhang's face was horrifying.
He was receiving a salary from the imperial court and his family had tens of millions of dollars in property, yet he still engaged in this kind of business. He was so greedy! Zhu Yunxi was also indignant and his moral conduct was corrupt!
With such an episode, the meal was no longer interesting to eat.
After eating hastily, he was about to return to the palace. On the other side of the long street, two or three secret guards came running quickly, looking anxious.
Zhu Yunxi's heart skipped a beat, something happened again!
