Daming: If I find a great-grandson, I will teach an emperor through the ages

Chapter 141 Zhu Yuanzhang: Cao Wei’s marriage is stable!

Zhu Yuanzhang saw the strange look on Zhu Yuanzhang and Cao Wei's face, but he ignored it.

Instead, he led the three people behind him to the stone table and sniffed.

Then he pointed to the copper pot on the stone table and asked:

"Cao Wei, is this the special delicacy you told us about?"

A few days ago, the sweet potatoes and corn planted in the field department matured.

After digging, picking, weighing and measuring, the yield of sweet potatoes per mu was also more than 800 kilograms, while the yield of corn was a little less, less than [-] kilograms per mu.

The yields of both sweet potatoes and corn are reduced compared to the potatoes that first matured.

But even this kind of output also made Zhu Yuanzhang very happy.

Corn can also be used as a staple food and is extremely easy to store.

The yield of seven hundred kilograms is already far more than twice the output of wheat and rice per mu in Daming Dynasty!

Although Cao Wei said that sweet potatoes cannot be eaten as a staple food and can only be used as non-staple food on weekdays, as long as they don't kill people and fill their stomachs, they can be used as a staple food in the Ming Dynasty!
Wherever there is a disaster, high-yield foods such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn can save many lives!

As long as these high-yielding grains can be successfully bred and widely promoted across the country, the Ming Dynasty will no longer be in danger of food shortages!
At the scene, Zhu Yuanzhang once again praised Cao Wei, and the courtiers also praised the emperor.

Cao Wei looked at the sweet potatoes and corn that had been dug and picked, and wondered whether he could roast the sweet potatoes and steam the corn.

But Zhu Yuanzhang attached great importance to sweet potatoes and corn, and strictly ordered that there should be no less sweet potatoes and corn on site, so he gave up Cao Wei's idea.

However, Cao Wei turned around and saw that the peppers planted on the side were also ripe.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not strictly prohibit peppers, a spice crop. Cao Wei found an excuse and got Zhu Yuanzhang's permission to pick some to make hot pot to satisfy his craving.

Of course, good things must be shared. Cao Wei immediately notified Zhu Xiongying and asked him to bring Zhu Yuanzhang to have a hot pot feast.

That's why Zhu Yuanzhang and four others came to visit tonight.

"Your Majesty, that's right. This pot is mixed with refined butter, chili peppers, star anise, cinnamon and other spices to rinse the meat. It tastes amazing." Cao Wei responded with a chuckle.

"Hmm...it's definitely different from what we've eaten before. This taste goes straight to your nose." Zhu Yuanzhang said while looking at the red soup boiling in the pot.

Cao Wei greeted several people to sit down one by one, and then said to Xiaoyu:
"Xiaoyu, go get two more small bowls of sesame paste."

I thought there were only two people, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Xiongying, but they were less prepared.

Xiaoyu responded and went down. After a while, he returned. Cao Wei took them and placed them in front of Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Hanming respectively.

Later, it was Cao Wei who cooked the meat. Zhu Yuanzhang and others had never seen hot pot before, so naturally they could not be expected to provide for themselves.

When the meat slices in the copper pot changed color, Cao Wei said,
"Okay, everyone, use your chopsticks."

Zhu Yuanzhang was the eldest, and he picked up a piece of meat without hesitation. Cao Wei had already stuffed it into his mouth before he could even say a word to remind him.

After chewing a few mouthfuls and swallowing, everyone saw Zhu Yuanzhang's face suddenly turn red.

"Hiss-ha!"

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but let out a big breath.

"Ahem...this taste is really spicy!"

"But... the taste is indeed fragrant, but a bit too spicy."

"Your Majesty, you can stir the meat slices into sesame sauce to neutralize the spiciness." Cao Wei reminded.

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at him, his beard trembling under his chin, "You didn't tell me earlier!"

Pick up a piece of meat again, mix it in a small bowl, dip it in sesame sauce, chew it in your mouth, and then swallow it.

Suddenly, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows and looked at the sesame paste in front of him in surprise.

He didn't expect that just by dipping it in sesame sauce, the taste of the meat would change so much.

"It's so fragrant!"

There are only two words, but it is the highest recognition.

Zhu Yuanzhang was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Even though he didn't eat and drink extravagantly because of his frugal character, he still tasted all kinds of delicacies.

At this time, the hot pot cooked by Cao Wei could make Zhu Yuanzhang have such a reaction, and give such comments, which shows its uniqueness.

Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Yunxi also picked up their chopsticks and put the meat slices covered with sesame sauce into their mouths according to the way Zhu Yuanzhang had just eaten.

"Hiss-ha! The taste is fragrant, numb, and spicy, and it's hard to stop." Zhu Xiongying gave a very accurate evaluation.

Zhu Yunxi also exhaled heavily and nodded, "Smells good!"

Only Zhu Hanming, perhaps because of shyness, had been sitting alone on Cao Wei's right hand, quietly lowering his head.

From time to time, she would raise her head to look at everyone. The way Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned red from the heat just now made her smile softly, revealing two small pear nests. Even though it was only for a moment, Cao Wei saw it.

As a host, how can you not entertain guests well?

Seeing this, Cao Wei picked up the longer serving chopsticks that were lying aside, picked up a large ball of meat slices from the copper pot, and put it into the bowl in front of Zhu Han.

"Princess, give it a try too."

Zhu Hanming blinked and looked at Cao Wei, "Hanming thanked Duke Zhong."

Cao Wei smiled at her, and two blushes suddenly appeared on the girl's cheeks. She quickly picked up the chopsticks and lowered her head to eat the meat, hiding the panic in her heart.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this scene, he didn't say much. He just thought in his heart that this boy was quite good.

Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Yunxi were concentrating on eating meat without looking away.

Cao Wei took a few bites, poured a few glasses of water for a few people, and then ordered,
"Xiaoyu, get the wine."

Cao Wei asked Xiaoyu to sink the wine into the well in advance to cool down, just to go with the hot pot meal.

After a while, Xiaoyu brought Jiu, and Cao Wei poured a bowl for Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Xiongying respectively. Zhu Yunxi was still young and did not have his share.

Zhu Yuanzhang had already eaten and was sweating on his forehead. He picked up the bowl and took a big sip. The cold, low-alcohol pure grain brewed wine flowed down his throat and he suddenly felt refreshed.

Zhu Yuanzhang breathed a sigh of relief, "Comfortable!"

He had not felt this kind of joyful feeling for many years.

At this time, Zhu Hanming's face turned red from the heat, like a peach. She picked up the cup and took a sip, then reminded Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Father, please take care of your health and drink less alcohol."

"Okay, okay," Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in agreement.

"I don't know if the princess is here today. This hot pot tastes spicy. I wonder if the princess can get used to it? Otherwise, I'll ask the kitchen to make some more food." Cao Wei said.

He originally thought that only Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Xiongying would come. They were all men, and they would definitely be able to tolerate the hot pot even if it was spicy.

Zhu Hanming was a delicate little girl. Seeing her cheeks turning red and the tip of her nose sweating while eating, Cao Wei couldn't help but ask.

Zhu Hanming shook his head and looked at Cao Wei again with his big eyes:
"Although this hot pot is a bit spicy, it has a unique aroma. I can bear it with tea, and it tastes delicious."

Cao Wei nodded, then turned to talk to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Xiongying.

Zhu Hanming ate the meat in small bites and drank some water, feeling the novel experience that the chili pepper brought to her taste buds.

As the 14th daughter of Zhu Yuanzhang and the princess of the Ming Dynasty, she was a thoughtful woman. She had grown up in the palace and had been immersed in it. Naturally, she knew what Zhu Yuanzhang meant by bringing her to the Cao Mansion for the banquet this time.Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to betroth her to Cao Wei, Duke of Zhong.

This seems to be the fate of women born into the royal family.

When you reach a certain age in the palace, you will be asked to get married by the emperor.

Several of her sisters are like this.

Now it's her turn.

Zhu Hanming knew very well that her fate would be the same as the previous sisters, but as princesses, it seemed that they should accept their fate honestly.

She had also imagined that when she reached the right age, Zhu Yuanzhang would betroth her to the son of a minister in the court.

Thinking of these, Zhu Hanming felt neither sadness nor joy, only a touch of uneasiness.

I heard that some ministers’ sons have very weird tempers and will have a very bad life after marrying them...

Until today, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly called her over and said that he would take her to the Cao Mansion for a banquet. She immediately understood that it was time for her to get married.

Cao's house.

Zhong Guogong, Cao Wei.

This person Zhu Hanming had a deep impression because he was very famous.

First, he saved his eldest nephew Zhu Xiongying more than ten years ago, and then gradually entered the public eye.

The First World War destroyed the Northern Yuan Dynasty, established a manufacturing warehouse to develop steam engines, built trains, opened the sea, found silver mines and high-yielding crops for the Ming Dynasty, and single-handedly increased the salary of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty...

Also, she had met Cao Wei several times in the palace, when she went to greet Zhu Yuanzhang.

Cao Wei is a very handsome man. To say handsome is a little inappropriate, but more of a masculine handsomeness. After all, Cao Wei is over 30 years old. Perhaps he could be said to be handsome when he was young.

When Zhu Hanming learned that the person he was about to marry was Cao Wei, he seemed to be relieved and a little happy?
Cao Wei has done so many things for the country and the people, and has an excellent reputation among the people. He must not be someone with an eccentric personality.

In addition, there was a hint of psychology that Zhu Hanming himself was not aware of.

People say that young men love young wives, and girls love uncles. There is actually some truth in this saying.

Regardless of men or women, it is easy to yearn for those who are older, more outstanding and outstanding.

If this person is more attractive in appearance, it will be easier for people to like him.

In terms of appearance, it has a greater effect on male teenagers, but it is much less effective on females, but it is not completely absent.

Cao Wei almost meets all the requirements for a high-quality candidate. He is mature, handsome, manly, talented, and has a good reputation among the people.

It's no wonder that Xiaoyu said before that as long as the news of Cao Wei's recruitment of a wife is released, the threshold of the Cao Mansion will be broken.

In Yingtian Mansion, if you find a random commoner on the street and you tell him about the emperor's son, he may not be able to say a few words to you, but if you talk to him about Duke Zhong Cao Wei, then he will be very excited!

He will pull you to sit down, and the first thing he says is, "Master Cao, that's a great good man! That's a man of God!..."

If these conditions of Cao Wei were to appear in another female character, countless young people in Huaichun would also flock to her.

You don’t even need any fame or credit, you just need to have outstanding looks...

Zhu Hanming followed Zhu Yuanzhang all the way to Cao Mansion, still feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

This was the first time she encountered this kind of thing.

After arriving at the Cao Mansion, Cao Wei did not talk to her too much like those impetuous young people, and only gave her some food, which relaxed Zhu Hanming's tense nerves a lot.

This was the first time that Zhu Hanming had such close and long-term contact with Cao Wei. In addition to seeing his appearance more clearly and carefully, it can be seen from his conversations with Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Xiongying that Cao Wei is also a A humorous person who often made Zhu Yuanzhang shake his head and make Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Yunxi laugh.

If such a man becomes his husband...

Gradually, Zhu Hanming even felt a hint of joy in his heart.

She seems to have good luck.

She was also very satisfied with the marriage partner Zhu Yuanzhang arranged for her...

Cao Wei saw that there wasn't much meat in Zhu Hanming's bowl, so he added some more for her, and then rinsed some vegetables for himself.

When it comes to hot pot, Cao Wei feels that both meat and vegetables have a unique taste. The crisp texture of vegetables cannot be replaced by meat.

"Hanming thanked Mr. Zhong Guogong." Zhu Hanming whispered again.

Zhu Hanming only said three sentences during the whole process and just sat there quietly, but even so, it was hard to ignore. His calm and gentle temperament was very eye-catching.

Everyone chatted and laughed about the hot pot meal for nearly an hour, and finally they were full.

Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly drunk, which made him feel comfortable, and his thoughts were not confused.

He picked up the cup and took a sip of water, then stood up.

"It's getting late, so let's go back first. Tomorrow we will order someone to transfer one of the artillery pieces you mentioned from the Munitions Department to the Manufacturing Bureau."

"If you can develop the artillery as you said, I will count it as a great achievement for you!"

Zhu Xiongying, Zhu Yunxi, and Zhu Hanming also stood up one after another.

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he took the three people away.

Cao Wei escorted the four Zhu family members all the way to the gate of Cao's mansion.

Jiang Wei had been waiting outside the door with a carriage, and welcomed Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Hanming into the carriage, while Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Yunxi entered another carriage.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Cao Wei watched the two carriages leave and then returned to his mansion.

inside the car,
Zhu Yuanzhang opened his eyes and looked at Zhu Hanming in front of him.

"Ming'er, does Cao Wei win your heart?"

Zhu Hanming nodded silently and responded shyly,

"Zhong Guogong is a great man in the world, how can my daughter find dissatisfaction with him? She is only afraid that Zhong Guogong will look down on her daughter."

Zhu Yuanzhang stared,
"He dares!
If he dares to look down on our daughter, I will shave his head and let him become a monk! "

Zhu Yuanzhang said this, but he knew nothing in his heart.

My daughter and Cao Wei have become half, stable!

Zhu Hanming did not hate Cao Wei, and Cao Wei was not too picky.

Moreover, Zhu Hanming's mother-in-law was Korea's Concubine Han of Goryeo, and she was a beauty who captivated the country.

Zhu Hanming perfectly inherited the beauty of his mother and concubine. At the age of sixteen, she was already graceful and graceful.

How could that boy Cao Wei look down on his precious daughter Zhu Hanming?
Unless he's blind...

(It’s the last day of the month again. I would like to thank you all for your support, monthly votes, recommended votes, and rewards.

This chapter describes the character of Zhu Hanming a bit too much. After all, she is the other half of the protagonist and will have a role in the future. I just want to outline a character that is not offensive. Princess Hanshan is not well-known, so everyone can get familiar with it first. one time.

The weather is getting colder, so remember to put on some clothes. )
