Chapter 37 Lao Zhu's Lunch
The three ice thieves quickly stole a basin of ice from the Prince's Mansion.
Although Zhu Yunxi has made it clear that one piece is enough. However, the three eager children believe that even if they steal once, they must steal a pot anyway.
As a result, after witnessing the prism experiment, the children of Ohondo also experienced a rare coolness in advance.
After seeing the seven-color light refracted by the prism, Qi Tai had a new understanding of the "blue of the sky" mentioned by Zhu Yunxi.
After he asked about a few more knowledge points and had a certain understanding of the atmosphere, he made an appointment with Zhu Yunxi to find time to talk in detail after class. He then continued his teaching process, calling everyone by name to check their homework and assign new homework.
During this period, except for giving them two quarters of an hour to solve their physical problems, there was basically no rest.
The morning passed quickly, and finally it was lunch time, the happiest time for students.
Lao Zhu was very considerate of his children and reserved an hour and a half for them to eat.
This allows them to not only play but also take a nap after lunch.
Zhu Yunxi is also looking forward to eating.
I don't know whether it's because of time travel or because his body is inherently weak, but he always feels hungry easily.
Even though I had already sat down at Lao Zhu's place in the morning, I was still hungry by noon.
The main hall has a special room for the princes to have lunch, and the food is very sumptuous.
Not only did each prince and grandson have a special dining table, but a large table was thoughtfully placed in the middle to place some meals, fruits and the like.
Zhu Yunxi was also assigned to a table, plus a meal representing his imperial grandson status.
Roast half a goose, stir-fry bamboo shoots, stir-fry mutton, stir-fry leeks and other side dishes.
There is only one bowl of rice, but there is a basin on the big table, so you can always add more if it is not enough.
Zhu Yunxi stretched his neck and looked at other people's meals. They were not much different from his own. Even if there was a difference, it was only in the number of side dishes. However, hard dishes such as roast goose could basically serve half a piece per person.
Is it just the size of a roast goose? It must be impossible to make it the same size.
Some people get a larger share, and some people get a smaller share.
Seeing that he had not been abused, Zhu Yunxi could eat with peace of mind.
However, just when he was about to use his chopsticks, he saw Zhu Gui waving to him.
"Eldest nephew, come to Uncle Thirteen's place to eat!"
The children who were having lunch around heard King Zhu Gui of Yu greeting Zhu Yunxi, and they all cast envious glances. As for Zhu Yunwen, he was almost going crazy with jealousy.
Because Zhu Guinai is a prince and has a mansion outside the palace, the meals he eats every day are all customized from restaurants outside the palace, and they taste many times better than those in the palace!
As for the food in the palace, except for the imperial chef, it would be good if everyone else's food could be cooked.
Zhu Yunxi was a person who was very aware of promotions. When he saw Zhu Gui greeting him, he immediately stood up and sat over.
Moreover, when passing by Zhu Zhi, he saw the envy on Zhu Zhi's face, and he even mentioned it to Zhu Gui and asked him to call Zhu Zhi over.
Zhu Gui was very considerate and waved to Zhu Zhi.
When Zhu Zhi saw that Zhu Gui was indeed calling him, he immediately came over and thanked Zhu Gui. He also did not forget to thank Zhu Yunxi.
When Zhu Gui and Zhu Yunxi heard Zhu Zhi's thanks, they just smiled knowingly and said nothing.
The main reason why Zhu Yunxi called Zhu Zhi over was to help him.
Zhu Gui is about to become a vassal, and Zhu Zhi is the most advantageous competitor to challenge the little overlord of the main hall.
Otherwise, how could he be willing to be a dog-legger with Zhu Gui and try his best to fawn over Zhu Gui?
The reason why he did this was because he had the thought of "he can take his place."
Zhu Gui also understood Zhu Zhi's thoughts, so when Zhu Yunxi proposed, he agreed after a little hesitation.
Firstly, it was to give Zhu Yunxi some face, and secondly, he wanted to sell Zhu Zhi well so that he could treat his brother Zhu Su well in the future.
While having lunch at the main hall, Lao Zhu was also preparing lunch and invited Liubu Hall officials to accompany him.
It is a great honor for the emperor to treat guests to dinner.
But they were a little confused. Why did the emperor specially invite them to dinner today?
After the eunuch serving the meal finished serving the dishes, the six ministers stretched their necks expectantly and looked at the emperor's lunch.
One roast goose, roasted sheep head and hooves, salted drum and mustard sheep tripe plate, lamb bones with raw juice, minced pepper lamb, spicy vinegar kidneys, lamb crystal horns, and more than a dozen plates of vegetarian dishes, green vegetables tofu, leek and eggs, clear
Fried bean sprouts and the like.
To be honest, this food is considered pretty good among the people. Many ordinary people may not be able to eat this well during the Chinese New Year.
But for the six ministers, this is a bit worse than the canteen in their yamen.
At the very least, the combination of meat and vegetables is unreasonable. The royal dining room in the palace is trying to cook a sheep, and can't even bear to cook a fish?
Lao Zhu picked up a bowl of fragrant rice, took a few sips, and drank half of the bowl. Seeing that everyone still didn't move their chopsticks, he couldn't help but urge.
"Don't be stunned, hurry up and eat!"
When everyone heard what Lao Zhu said, they started to use their chopsticks. But compared to Lao Zhu's wolfing down, their movements were much more elegant.
And unlike Lao Zhu's unpretentious way of eating, they had to pay attention to Lao Zhu's movements and observe his face while eating.
Therefore, this meal was somewhat boring and even a bit depressing.
However, they soon discovered the "glitter". They discovered that His Majesty the Emperor was actually picking up the rice grains that fell on the table!
This is a rare opportunity to flatter you. If the photo is done well, His Majesty will be delighted.
Zhao Mian, the Minister of Rites, was the first to stand up and praise him.
"Your Majesty, who is rich all over the world, can still be so frugal, is really a blessing to our Ming Dynasty and a blessing to the people!"
With the opening of the ceremony by the Minister of Rites, it will be much smoother for the people behind.
"Your Majesty, who is in charge of the world, can still be so frugal, which really makes me feel ashamed..."
"Your Majesty, you don't have to be too harsh on yourself. We have a lot of money in the household this year, which is enough for the palace expenses. Wuwuwu..."
"Your Majesty's act of picking up grains of rice should be ordered to be painted by a painter to show it to the world, so that the people of the world can learn from it..."
There are those who are flattering, those who are flattering, and those who are crying and playing emotional cards, to name a few.
After they all finished speaking, Lao Zhu quietly spoke.
"My dear friends, the common people know that a porridge and a meal are enough, but they should think about where they came from. Half a thread, they should always remember the truth of the difficulty of material resources."
"You who live in the temple should always have this in mind, so that you can live up to the trust of the people and be worthy of the high position we have given you!"
When the ministers heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up.
A porridge and a meal, when I think about the difficulty of getting there. Half a thread, half a thread, I always think about the difficulty of material resources.
Good guy!
Your Majesty’s words will become famous throughout the ages!
"Your Majesty's words are very reasonable. I suggest you print them in the newspaper of your residence so that all the people in the world can learn from them!"
"I second the proposal!"
"I also second the proposal!"
