People regard food as their top priority. Since ancient times, everyone from the emperor to the common people has attached great importance to this aspect.
Zhu Yuanzhang's more famous "four dishes and one soup" is an attitude towards diligence and thrift.
It’s not really just four dishes and one soup for every meal.
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang's meals were quite sumptuous.
Breakfast: Stir-fried mutton, pan-fried goose, stir-fried pork with cabbage, mugwort with clear juice, steamed pork trotters, noodles with chopsticks, fragrant rice, bean soup, and tea.
Lunch: pepper and vinegar shrimp, roast goose, grilled sheep head and hooves, goose meat, salted drum and mustard sheep tripe plate, garlic vinegar and white blood soup, five-flavor steamed chicken, yuan juice lamb bones, spicy vinegar kidneys, steamed fresh fish, Five-flavor steamed gluten, mutton crystal horns, silk goose noodle soup, three delicacies soup, black bean noodles, minced pepper mutton, fragrant rice, garlic cheese, bean soup, and tea.
For dinner, it should be relatively simple, just a few dishes.
There were many dishes, and of course Zhu Yuanzhang could not eat them alone.
Usually when dining, Zhu Yuanzhang was mostly dealing with government affairs, and the six ministers and other officials present would eat together.
However, it can be seen from the recipes that Zhu Yuanzhang especially liked meat.
Regarding food, if you eat too much, your appetite will naturally become very picky.
When the aroma of breakfast from Zhu Ying Tea House came, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately noticed the difference.
"How can it smell so good?"
Looking at the six breakfast items in front of him, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but ask.
There are also spicy spicy soup and pan-fried egg buns that Zhu Yuanzhang has never seen before.
The aroma mainly comes from scones, spicy soup, and pan-fried egg buns.
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but eat a pan-fried bun first. The unique taste immediately attracted him.
Then the softness of the steamed buns, the soup of the meat buns, and the deliciousness of the spicy soup made Zhu Yuanzhang unable to stop at all.
In ancient times, it was natural to never tire of fine food and delicate food.
But the production of refined food developed better in the Song Dynasty.
Later, Meng Yuan was particular about eating meat and drinking wine.
By the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, food culture was obviously regressing compared to the Song Dynasty.
Zhu Ying wandered around the Western Regions for many years, where he controlled many things that could be used to make condiments.
Although it cannot reach the level of later generations, compared with the Ming Dynasty now, it is basically equivalent to a dimensionality reduction attack.
Of course, Zhu Ying also made a lot of MSG, which is a major food killer.
If we really want to open a restaurant, it will set off a food revolution in the entire Ming Dynasty.
"We have traveled all over the country for so many years, but I have never tasted such delicious food, so comfortable!"
Not long after, Zhu Yuanzhang swept away the breakfast on the table and drank the last mouthful of spicy soup.
Zhu Yuanzhang burped and lay comfortably on the chair.
He finally understood why the breakfast was sold out twice.
It's so delicious, who can resist it?
No matter how delicious the breakfast is, it all depends on who you eat it with.
Looking at Da Sun's face, Zhu Yuanzhang felt extremely emotional.
He never thought that he would be able to see his grandson in his lifetime.
Today's eldest grandson is no longer the child he held in his arms.
His handsome face is very similar to that of Queen Ma.
"I have suffered so much for you all these years."
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang still sighed.
After finishing speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that it was time to leave.
He could feel Da Sun's wariness, which made him a little disappointed, but he was not discouraged.
He firmly believed that Jin Yiwei would be able to confirm Da Sun's identity.
If, it cannot.
The eldest grandson is still his eldest grandson.
As an emperor, there is no need to prove to others.
"Whoever dares to question us, I will send him down below to ask the elder sister."
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light.
Zhu Ying sent the old man downstairs.
In the stairwell, Jiang Wei is waiting.
Seeing the old man walking away, Zhu Ying didn't say anything more this time.
He really couldn't bear to let an old man feel sad again after being happy.
I don’t want to rely on the old man to get anything.
.........
"Jiang Wei, why do you think our eldest grandson forgot about us? It doesn't make sense."
Half an hour later, after passing Fengtian Gate and walking in the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but ask Jiang Wei.
Jiang Wei paused slightly and then replied: "Your Majesty, it may be Mr. Zhu. He encountered a big change when he was young."
"When I was in the army, I also saw Youpao Ze like this. He was injured on the head. When he woke up, no one recognized him, and he didn't even know who he was."
Amnesia is also common in the army.
In the battlefield, things like head injuries and amnesia are not common, but they have happened.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.
He believed that after the eldest grandson was buried, especially on the day when the earth dragon rolled and the stars changed, there must have been some unknown big change.
Zhu Yuanzhang himself was also superstitious. Perhaps the ancients were in awe of the theory of gods and ghosts.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Jiang Yu: "Liu Rixin, where has he been recently?"
"After playing around for so many years, he must have had enough fun. We summon him to the capital. We have something to ask him."
Jiang Wei said: "Mr. Liu's whereabouts have been recorded in various places, and I will immediately start investigating."
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there was a fortune teller in Fengyang named Liu Rixin, who was nicknamed "Half Immortal".
The half-immortal Liu Rixin was very famous in the local area. No matter the dignitaries or wealthy businessmen, they all liked to ask him for fortune telling, and his fortune telling was very accurate. This attracted the attention of Zhu Yuanzhang at that time.
At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang was still competing in the world with Chen Youliang, and was even at a disadvantage for a time, and his future was uncertain. He heard that Liu Rixin was very accurate in fortune telling, so he asked Liu Rixin to find him and ask him to read his fortune.
Liu Rixin carefully looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance and made calculations from time to time. He quickly concluded that "the general must be extremely rich and noble", which meant that he thought Zhu Yuanzhang would become the emperor.
Then he showed the fortunes of Zhu Yuanzhang's officers and soldiers and said that some could be granted the title of duke and some could be granted the title of marquis. Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely happy.
Four years after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang came to Liu Rixin, wanted to reward him, and asked him to be the Supervisor of Qintian.
But Liu Rixin didn't want anything, he just wanted to be able to walk around within the territory of the Ming Dynasty without being restricted by checkpoints.
Zhu Yuanzhang gave him a fan and wrote a poem:
"There is an old man from the south of the Yangtze River, with stars in his belly. I am promised to be the king, and the result is what the gods say. I don't want to give you officials, and I don't accept the money I give. Holding this fan, I can travel all over the world."
With this as a voucher, you can pass anywhere.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid that he would be used by traitors, so he ordered Liu Rixin not to tell fortunes to anyone anymore.
At this moment, I thought of the situation where the great grandson rolled like a dragon on the ground, and then came back to life again after the stars had passed.
I just wanted to ask Liu Rixin.
Just after Zhu Yuanzhang issued the order to Jiang Yu.
Somewhere in the Ming Dynasty,
inside the house.
A man's heart palpitated, he hesitated slightly, and calculated with one hand.
After a long time, his face turned pale, and he murmured: "My life is at stake!"
