Zhu Bai murmured: "It must be regulated. It's too much."
Commander Cen Du said: "Yes, I thought that since Mr. Li doesn't care about these cherries, it would be easier to knock down the ones sticking out of the wall at once. But several times I came to the door, the concierge said that Mr. Li is not at home."
The prime minister's slave is a seventh-grade official, so the concierge's attitude is naturally not much better.
But Li Shanchang didn't nod, and no one dared to touch those cherries.
In fact, this is not just the case for Li Shan's family, but also for the high-ranking officials in Dongcheng.
I left it alone, and the Bingma Division was afraid of being scolded by the superiors, so they could only work quietly as free cleaners.
Not to mention how frustrating it was.
Now it is because Zhu Bai, the overlord who fears no heaven or earth, has come to the Military and Horse Division, Commander Cen Du dares to say anything.
Zhu Bai was completely unaware that Commander Cen was complaining, and just said to himself: "What a waste."
When he was a child, there was a big cherry tree at home. When the cherries were ripe, he would sit on the branch with a book, picking, eating and reading. It was really fun.
After traveling through time, I have only eaten bananas, extremely sour oranges and astringent apples.
I have never eaten any serious fruit.
Now thinking about the sweet, sour and juicy taste of cherries, my mouth starts to water.
The key is to buy ripe cherries on the tree, no matter how much money you have.
"Let's go and have a look." Zhu Bai stood up and said.
Commander Cen Du said: "There is no need to be in such a hurry. I will take your Highness down tomorrow morning."
"Urgent. Such a big thing must be done immediately," Zhu Bai said.
The ripening period of cherries only lasts a few days, if it goes too late, they will be gone!
He turned to look at the other commanders of the military and horse divisions: "If there is anything similar, we will do it together in the past few days."
All the other commanders hurriedly handed over their hands and said, "Follow your orders."
-----
Zhu Bai asked Fugui to temporarily buy some large bamboo baskets and bamboo poles, and then happily went to Li Shanchang's house.
The concierge of the Li Mansion was a little impatient when he saw someone from the Military and Horse Department knocking on the door again: "Your Excellency is not at home."
Then it will close.
"Hey, hey, hey." Zhu Bai shouted continuously and stepped forward, "Don't run away. Even I, the king, dare to block you from the door. Do you not want to live?"
The porter then saw Zhu Bai and hurriedly raised his hands: "Oh, it turns out His Highness is here too. I'm so rude."
Zhu Bai waved his hand: "It's not rude, it's not rude. Just take us in."
The concierge was a little embarrassed: "But Mr. Li is not at home."
Not even the military commander, not even the prince, can forcefully break into people's houses.
Zhu Bai tilted his head and said, "It doesn't matter. Whether Mr. Li is at home or not will not hinder our work."
The concierge was silent, mainly because he had never seen such a thick-skinned person, and he didn't know how to refuse for a while. Besides, Zhu Bai was too scary, and he really didn't dare to let them in easily.
Zhu Bai wanted to go in directly.
The concierge simply cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, please allow me to inform you."
Zhu Bai knew about this closure and didn't know how long he would have to wait for them.
When it comes to the thick and dark science of officialdom, who can play better than Lao Zhu?
Lao Zhu often made people wait outside for several hours.
"I don't want to wait any longer." He took out the gold medal and shook it.
The concierge immediately knelt down as if he were here in person.
Zhu Bai opened the door and walked in without hesitation.
Zhu Bai had only seen the description of the mansions of wealthy people in "A Dream of Red Mansions", and at the time he thought it was exaggerated.
Now when I look at Li Shan's family, I feel that it is not that Lao Cao is too exaggerated, but that poverty has limited his imagination.
The carved beams and painted buildings, the pavilions and pavilions, the exotic flowers and plants, and the rare birds and animals all reveal the two words "rich" and the three words "very rich"!
Zhu Bai sighed as he walked: Li Shanchang's residence is not much smaller than the palace, but more importantly, it is more exquisite and luxurious.
No wonder no one cares about the cherries when they are ripe and fall outside the wall. Because the family has a big business, they don't care about them at all, and they don't care about them.
Zhu Yuanzhang was really tolerant and could turn a blind eye to this.
Cen Du commanded that they had never seen this scene before, and they all just gasped.
Before Zhu Bai got lost, he turned around and asked Commander Cen Du: "Where is the cherry tree?"
Cen Du commanded Ru Meng Fang Xing, pointing over there: "The south side is against the wall."
After half a stick of incense was gone, Zhu Bai saw the cherries on the trees.
It was red, like a fire was lit among the leaves.
I can smell the faint fragrance from afar.
Zhu Bai became excited and turned to Cen Du to direct: "Let's pick one tree today and come back with the rest tomorrow."
Cen Du directed a black line: After working for a long time, you are really here to pick fruits. The problem has not been solved. Fruits that should fall on the street outside will still fall.
He wanted to say something, but he didn't dare. He stopped talking.
Zhu Bai seemed to have read through his mind and said: "Don't panic, we only need to come here for a few days. Someone will naturally do the work of the Military and Horse Division."
The others looked at each other in confusion: Who could think so hard that he would help the Army and Horses Division?
Zhu Bai rubbed his hands: "Start working. I will go to Ru Taisu's house to pick bayberries later."
Like the Zhu Bai monkey, he climbed up the tree in a few clicks, sat on the branch, picked off the cherries in handfuls and stuffed them into his mouth. He also said vaguely: "Eat, you're welcome, just eat. I'm here."
.”
Cen Du commanded them to hesitate at first, but when they saw Zhu Bai acting like this, they boldly began to eat haisei.
To be honest, this cherry is really good.
The skin is large and thin, slightly sour and sweet, and full of juice. There is nothing wrong with it except for the pit.
The warm sun above your head makes every pore feel comfortable, and eating freshly picked ripe cherries from the tree is really more refreshing than a god.
Zhu Bai and the others started to pack the food into several bamboo baskets until they burped. When they couldn't hold it anymore, they decided to go back.
He grinned at the concierge waiting by the door: "I'm leaving, I won't see you off."
His mouth was full of red juice, and even his white teeth and tongue turned red when he smiled.
The concierge was complaining in his heart and forced a smile on his face: "Thank you for your hard work, Your Highness. It's good to go, Your Highness."
Zhu Bai asked a guard to deliver three large baskets of cherries back to the palace. The soldiers from the Military and Horse Division took back two baskets and sent the rest to the West City for the poor families to eat.
Everyone is happy.
Commander Cen Du said that this was the first time he had encountered such a good thing after being the commander of Dongcheng for so many years.
In the past, he had been scolded and made fun of.
Then a group of people went to Ru Mansion happily.
There is a big bayberry tree against the wall of Ru Mansion.
Now is the time when bayberries are ripe. The trees are full of large, round fruits that are black and red inside.
It makes people salivate just looking at it.
The streets outside are also covered with bayberry trees.
The bayberries are soft, waxy and juicy, but they spoil when they fall on the ground. You cannot eat them when you pick them up. They become sticky and dirty, and attract birds, flies and mice all over the ground.
Zhu Bai knocked on the door of Ru's house again.
When Ru Taisu heard that Zhu Bai was coming, he hurriedly came out from the inner courtyard to greet him.
Zhu Bai waved to him: "Master Shangshu should be busy with whatever he has to do. I will leave as soon as I finish my official business."
Ru Taisu looked confused: What kind of business did the military commander come to his house to do?
Then Zhu Bai led his men directly to the wall and destroyed the bayberry tree.
