Villager of Daming

Chapter 664: The Sound of the Sea and the Past
People who fought with Zhu Yuanzhang in the water battle of Poyang Lake were also frightened when they saw the small boats running around under the big ships to buy and transport things.

That’s really hard work!Everyone boarded the ship and took command, fighting for more than forty days.

At that time, everyone encountered danger including watching the wind direction, calculating the enemy, attacking with fire, and mobilizing various armies.

Looking at the steam engine boats flexibly maneuvering in the river at this moment, it is really scary. Why are the boats so fast?

When a battle breaks out and you see the enemy's flagship, send a bunch of small boats to besiege it. Once you capture it, no one can escape.

Unless the enemy's escort ships crowd around the flagship, there is no way to stop it.

Thinking of all the past events, the generals couldn't help but sigh. It was too difficult. How did they get through it?
Liu Bowen had a vicissitudes of smile on his face. He gave many suggestions at that time, but...

He glanced at the chief, with a look of gratitude in his eyes. Although the chief was not the one who made the final decision, since he couldn't find an expert, let him take the lead in Xiaqiu Village!

Without Xiaqiu Village's attitude, how could he be called back? An expert is indeed an expert.

Zhu Wentian set up a grill next to him. He had just delivered a sheep. He didn't have time to marinate it, so he directly cut the meat into pieces and put it on for roasting.

He saw everyone's expressions in his eyes, and still had a naive smile on his face.

These people!We all want to gain power, so why don’t we study history?Every time in history, after the emperor ascended the throne, he would start fighting for power with his ministers.

How did Yang Xian die before?This Hu Weiyong still wants to flirt with people he has a good relationship with, so he should retreat when he needs to!well!
Thinking about it, Zhu Wentian shook his head and took a long look. What do you mean?If the mutton is not marinated, will it not taste good when grilled?
"Hanhan, can you eat it?" asked Li Chang.

"No, wait, cut, eh!" Zhu Wentian responded. He picked up the scissors and cut off the burnt part of the meat skewer.

Meat that is not marinated is easy to dry. When marinating, salt is added to pickle out the blood, and then the starch absorbs the blood and remains outside.

When roasted, it cooks quickly and most of the water comes out.

Cut the meat directly and roast it. The fire must be high, otherwise the inside will not be cooked. Add some salt while roasting to let the blood come out, so that some areas on the outside will be burnt.

Eating such burnt meat is not good for your health, so Zhu Wentian prepared a pair of scissors and cut off the burnt meat when he saw it.

"Hanhan, you can eat it yourself when it's baked, don't give it all to us."

The more Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Hanhan, the more he liked him. In his mind, Hanhan talked less and did more, he was very loyal, not so scheming, and made everyone laugh except Hu Weiyong.

Hu Weiyong?
Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it and looked at Hu Weiyong. Hu Weiyong was staring at Hanhan with a special look. He seemed to notice that someone was looking at him, turned his head and smiled.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly and spoke to the chief: "Yi Chang has never been to the sea, has he?"

"Return to your majesty, no, the sea is not far, but the road is difficult."

The village chief shook his head. You can take a boat to the beach to see the village.

But it’s meaningless. What can we do?I have to come back and have to work every day. I am very busy and have no money to go out and play.

"When the Ming Navy's fleet is built, we will go to a distant place to have a look. We only went to the beach twice to see it."

Zhu Yuanzhang talked about what happened next. He felt that he knew that there were more and bigger ships, so he went out for a walk and regarded it as patrolling the sea.

"That's great! I'll go to Xiaqiu Village when the time comes. Where will I go back?"

The village chief is doing everything he can, and he has agreed with Hanhan that he will take the people in the village around in the future.

The prerequisite must be discussed with Zhu Yuanzhang, otherwise he will not allow it for fear of running away, especially since Xiaqiu Village wants to go overseas.

"How do we know where to pour it? Take it one step at a time. Anyway, the ship is big." Zhu Yuanzhang had no idea of ​​the destination at all.

He just wanted to have fun riding the big ship, and he was so courageous that he dared to get on the ship before it had even been tested.The boat was frantically transporting things, delivering coal and water. There was little coal in the boat. I didn’t want to go to the sea just to give it a try!
The ships along the way looked at this big ship. It had four big wheels, and the mast and sails were not small.

However, the position of the oars cannot be seen. It is obviously the same as other steam-powered boats operating on the Yangtze River, and no rowing is required.

The boat upstream followed the current slowly and did not dare to overtake it.

Fortunately, the big ship had its sails raised, and the current was a crosswind. Coupled with the speed of the river, it could reach about eighty miles an hour.

Otherwise, the normal flow speed of this section of the Yangtze River is about fifty miles per hour. Now it is the downstream, and the speed of the upstream is faster. The thousand-mile Jiangling can indeed be returned in one day.

"Hanhan, bake a bunch of them and I'll take them to Xiongying to eat." Zhu Biao came over. He had just gone to see his son.

The son shouted meat, meat, meat.

He came here to ask Hanhan for kebabs, and he wouldn't worry about giving his son any other meat.

"Hey! Look, wait, hey hey hey hey!" Zhu Wentian started to pick out the meat skewers, and then used scissors to adjust the fat and thin. There were two thin and one fat in between. Now remove all the fat.

The baby is not lacking in nutrients, so it is not good to eat so much fatty meat, although the baby loves to eat it because it is easy to chew.

Zhu Wentian finally adjusted the five skewers. The meat was tender and cooked, and the slightly burnt outside was cut off.

Then he got up and wanted to feed it himself, mainly to observe and see if Zhu Xiongying needed to change his diet now because he wanted to eat meat.

A friend took over the job of kebabs, and Zhu Wentian and Zhu Biao went to the back.

The eunuch who came with Zhu Biao ran over first and made arrangements. Women in the harem could not meet men outside casually, although there were preferential treatment for being naive.

The little girl Ling'er followed, grabbing a lot of meat skewers and preparing to share them with others.

As soon as she arrived at the place, the little girl smiled and greeted the palace people who were watching Zhu Xiongying's meal, and the atmosphere became harmonious.

The little baby holds a spoon in his hand and is scooping out porridge. The porridge contains white shrimp paste, japonica rice porridge, chicken head rice porridge, and a bunch of broken vegetable leaves.

When he saw Zhu Wentian, he immediately smiled and said to Zhu Wentian: "Eat, rice, meat, meat, eh!"

"Hey! Here's the meat." Zhu Wentian picked up the chopsticks next to him and moved the meat on the skewers, otherwise it would stick to the skewers.

He handed one skewer to the baby, took four skewers for himself, and demonstrated how to eat the meat skewers, holding them sideways and chewing them.

The baby grabbed the sign, looked at it twice, and followed suit. He put a piece of meat into his mouth and chewed it!Chewing it makes you smile.

The meat in Zhu Wentian's mouth had been chewed to pieces, but he was still chewing it. He didn't dare to take a second bite because the baby hadn't finished chewing it yet!

After more than 20 breaths, the baby chewed the meat thoroughly and swallowed it. This was the most tender meat.

Zhu Wentian picked up the second piece, and the baby followed suit. His eyes were so happy that he smiled, as if he had learned a new way to eat.

Zhu Biao, a eunuch, and a palace maid all ate together. Zhu Wentian brought five skewers himself and divided them just right.

When the last bite of mutton was finished, the baby burped, looked at the bowl in front of him, took two more bites, and pushed it away with his little hand.

A palace maid next to me brought over a bowl and ate the rest in a few times without wasting it.

Don't look at it as just eating leftovers, you have to seize the opportunity.
