Breakfast is served in the garden pavilion of Yong'an Palace. The old man has been doing this all his life.
I just don’t want to be nice and stay indoors and eat in a proper manner.
There were screens and Western blankets hanging around the pavilion to protect them from the wind.
Pu Bucheng directed the palace people to bring out all the dishes that had just been carefully cooked in the imperial kitchen.
The dishes are somewhat vegetarian, including hibiscus braised white fungus, coral cabbage, tiger skin quail eggs, celery-flavored shrimp balls, pickled vegetables and winter bamboo shoots, scallops and winter melon.
There are two kinds of desserts, radish pancakes and mutton fire spoon.
A bowl of soup is water shield soup.
The exquisite dishes were delicious and delicious, but the old man's face turned unhappy.
"Why are you all so vegetarian? We're not monks? Where's the meat? Where's the wine?" The old man glared at Pu Bucheng, "You old guy, you've started to fool us, haven't you?"
"Good master, slaves must not dare!" Pu Bucheng said aggrievedly, "This is..."
"My grandson ordered them yesterday!" Zhu Yunxi gave the old man a small spoon, filled half a bowl of hibiscus and white fungus, added a shrimp ball, and said with a smile, "my grandson saw your daily living list yesterday. At your age,
, how can you eat meat and drink wine all morning? Or do you want strong wine and fat meat?"
"Grandpa Huang, this vegetarian dish is also good for health! It is good for the intestines and stomach, easy to digest, and will not cause bloating after eating. You have been eating a lot of fish and meat all your life, so you need a change of taste..."
Then he smiled and said, "Try these celery-flavored shrimp balls. My grandson specially asked them to make them. They are soft, glutinous and delicious with the fragrance of shrimps. This is not a vegetarian dish, it has been deep-fried!"
The old man kept a straight face as his grandson brought the shrimp balls to his mouth, and he opened his mouth to eat them with a sense of grievance.
After chewing it for two times, it tasted really delicious as my grandson said. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a hint of soup.
But he still said with a straight face, "Don't think we are ignorant, this dish takes a lot more effort than the duck and mutton we eat. Huh, I have only been the emperor for a few days, and I have already started to have cravings. It is a waste of money, if I had known...
......."
"My grandson knows!" Zhu Yunxi fed the old man tiger skin quail eggs with a spoon again, "It would be good if you try this!"
"Woo!" The old man took a bite and rolled his eyes, "No!"
"What's wrong?" Zhu Yunxi smiled.
"These dishes are all very round, and they look like meatballs at first glance. There's no point in eating meatballs so early in the morning!" The old man glared and said, "Why, you expect us to finish it early?"
"Grandpa Huang, you are being picky. The shrimp balls are round and the quail eggs are also round. This is called a perfect round!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
The old man glared at Zhu Yunxi again, but his eyes were filled with a kind smile.
At this moment, Pu Bucheng standing next to him suddenly stood on tiptoe and looked into the distance, and ordered the eunuch next to him, "The prince is coming, hurry up and help him!"
The old man and Zhu Yunxi also looked at each other instantly.
In the morning light, Jin, wearing a gold collar, ran quickly with a box in his hands. Behind him, Mei Liangliang and several eunuchs chased him out of breath.
"Prince, please slow down!"
"Gee, you can't catch up with me!"
The old man stood up in confusion, "Hurry over and help him, let him run away in vain, it will be a serious fall!"
Zhu Yunxi pressed the old man's hand, "It's okay, Grandpa Huang, he is a boy, he won't be afraid of anything if he falls!"
Bang, Zhu Yunxi got a chestnut from the old man on the head.
The old man's hands were so strong that Zhu Yunxi felt his head was buzzing.
"Do you think it's you, the thick-skinned one?" As he spoke, the old man shouted, "Jin, slow down, my ancestor is here!"
"Old Ancestor!" Jin had beads of sweat on his forehead. He held the food box with difficulty and threw himself into the old man's arms. "Jin wants to say hello to you. Did you sleep well last night?"
The old man was smiling with wrinkles all over his face, "That's good!" He said, putting the weight on his lap, "What are you holding?"
"My mother stewed prunes, vegetables and pig's trotters in the morning!" Jin opened the food box and revealed a bowl of stewed meat. "My grandson thought you liked it, so he asked someone to fill a bowl and bring it to you!" He said,
The chubby little hands grabbed a piece of fat pig's feet and brought it to the old man's mouth.
"Ha, you still know how to hurt people!" The old man laughed so hard that his eyes were gone, and he opened his mouth to eat, "It smells so damn delicious!" He said, shouting to Pu Bucheng, "Bring us a bowl of rice!"
Pu Bucheng looked at Zhu Yunxi, and the old man was furious, "What? If we don't become a family member, it won't matter. You have to look at his face even if you want to eat a bowl of rice. You old dog, go and serve him, and don't stay with us anymore."
!”
Pu Bucheng quickly apologized and soon brought a bowl of dry rice over.
The old man first soaked the pork trotters stewed with pickles in the rice, stirred it for a few times, then picked out the fattest piece of pig trotters and placed it on the mixed rice. He opened his mouth and slurped down half a bowl twice.
Bah chirp, bah chirp.
While eating, the old man glanced at Zhu Yunxi and said vaguely, "This is eating, this is eating! What do you think you are doing with all those fancy things? Are you satisfied?"
Bah chirp, bah chirp.
"In this world, what dish is better than dry rice mixed with broth, and what dish is better than meat?"
Bah chirp, bah chirp.
"Well, if you eat fat, you will feel more at ease. Otherwise, you won't be able to bear it if there is no oil or water in your stomach! Let me tell you, when we were young, there was an old man in the village next door who was more than ten years old. The reason why he lived a long life was because he had eaten fat all his life.
!”
"If you want to live longer, eat fat meat. If you want to live longer, drink more alcohol." Jin chuckled and talked nonsense with the old man.
"Your son is better than you!" The old man glared at Zhu Yunxi again.
Zhu Yunxi could only laugh with him like a fool. He was used to it. As long as he was there, there was no one else in his eyes.
"By the way, we heard something!" The old man ate a bowl of dry rice, patted his belly with satisfaction, and said, "I heard that the White Lotus Sect is causing trouble again?"
Zhu Yunxi glanced at Pu Bucheng subconsciously.
"Don't look at him, that's not what he said!" The old man said with a smile, "We are not old enough to be deaf or blinded yet!"
Zhu Yunxi hurriedly said, "Yes, there is a White Lotus Sect in Shaanxi. My grandson has sent Jin Yiwei, Mao Xiang and others over. We must catch them all!"
"We're not going to catch them all in one go!" The old man suddenly became serious, "We're going to kill them all!" As he said that, he handed the pound to someone else to hold, and continued, "Kill as many as you catch, and tell the people whoever believes in the White Lotus Sect will be killed.
The imperial court will kill his entire family!"
"Kill the believers as well. Let me tell you, people who believe in cults will never repent. If they stay, they will be in trouble sooner or later!"
The old man's method is still simple and crude.
Naturally, Zhu Yunxi would not let go of the key members of the White Lotus Sect, but ordinary believers...?
As if he could see through Zhu Yunxi's heart, the old man said, "I know you are a soft-hearted child, but you are still young and don't know how powerful the cult is. Those people are just like following the devil after they believe it. Except for Milver, who is a close friend?"
recognize!"
"During the war, why were Monk Peng and Liu Futong's Xiang Army (Red Scarf Army) so good at fighting? The incense-burning believers were naked and faced the Tatar cavalry with red eyes. Others were afraid of death, but they wanted to die.
!”
Zhu Yunxi pondered for a moment, "My grandson understands, but this time about the White Lotus Sect, my grandson always feels that there is something fishy. I'm afraid it's not just a cult. So, my grandson plans to take another look, take his time, and finally get to the bottom of it!"
"
The old man's expression suddenly froze and he looked at Zhu Yunxi for a long time.
"Hey, I'm old...you are the emperor, you can do whatever you want!" He said, holding Jin in his arms again, "My dear grandson, what did you eat in the morning?"
The old man is old, but he has already sensed something with his natural emperor's keenness.
"Go ahead and go, we'll take a trip to the village after dinner!" the old man said again.
