Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 516: Old Zhu is thinking about Chili
Chapter 516: Old Zhu is thinking about chili peppers
Zhu Biao is a little busy today!

In other words, this busyness is his most normal daily state.

These days, he was able to come and see his wife or spend time with his newborn baby, which was actually taking time out of his busy schedule.

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang felt so comfortable ever since he followed the advice of Mr. Hu and set up the cabinet.

This person is lazy.

Why do you have to stand up when you can lie down?

What's more, his lying down did not hinder the normal operation of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, the more Lao Zhu lay down, the more comfortable he felt, and the more comfortable he felt, the more he wanted to lie down.

Then Zhu Biao was exhausted.

If it were other dynasties or other emperors, they might still worry that the crown prince would hold too much power and the throne would be unstable.

But who is Zhu Yuanzhang?

It was the emperor who paved the way for Zhu Biao, formed a team, and granted him the power of regent!
He truly deserves the title of "Father Emperor".

He has the power, so he really dares to let it go!
It is precisely because of this that now that Zhu Yuanzhang is lying in wait, doesn't the pressure on Zhu Biao fall on him?
Even if there is assistance from the cabinet, doesn't it still require human judgment and decision making in the end?
Therefore, Zhu Biao's work intensity was really high.

Even if it’s just to have a meal with my wife and children, I have to make time for it.

After all, when he was busy, he would just eat casually in the main hall with the officials of the Eastern Palace and other officials of the court.

But it’s not possible these days.

Hu Xinyue, the mistress of the Eastern Palace, just gave birth to a baby boy these days. It would be too neglectful if we don't show some concern for her.

Well, even though I don’t have time for other things, I still have time to have a meal with you.

Besides, he also knew that the Crown Princess had not been able to eat for the past two days, and he was also worried.

But what he didn't expect was that as soon as he walked in today, he saw his sister and wife holding their bowls and eating rice in big mouthfuls.

The key point is that the two of them did not follow the usual royal rules at all, they were just having a great time.

It's just that the occasional "shashasha" sound was a bit confusing.

"Yue'er, Anqing, what are you doing?"

It was not until Zhu Biao spoke that Hu Xinyue and Princess Anqing realized that Zhu Biao had been standing at the door without them noticing.

The two of them had a close enough relationship with Zhu Biao that they didn't feel that their behavior just now was embarrassing.

But I still feel a little embarrassed.

Especially Hu Xinyue, she didn't know if it was because she ate too much chili or she was just embarrassed, she said with a slightly red face.

"Prince, when did you come?"

Zhu Biao looked at the two of them in surprise, then looked at the half-eaten dish on the table. He nodded thoughtfully.

"Yeah, I just got here!"

"I was originally worried that my beloved concubine would have no appetite, but now it seems that Anqing has been a great help!"

He only needed to think about it a little to know that this thing definitely was not made in the palace.

In all likelihood, it was made in Anqing.

Anqing didn't deny it, she just waved at Zhu Biao.

"Brother, stop standing there and watching."

"Hurry up, bring a bowl of rice and you'll know."

"This is a good thing I got from my father-in-law, and now only the Hu family has it!"

“It’s not that it’s precious, but it’s definitely rare, and it’s really appetizing and goes well with rice!”

When Zhu Biao heard what Princess Anqing said, he actually became interested.

As for him, the reason why he can grow into his current body shape is due to various genetic and pathological factors.

But in fact, the biggest factor is that he is greedy.

How could he not be curious when he saw his wife, who had just given birth and had no appetite, eating with big mouthfuls? Moreover, it was a strange thing that Master Hu had secretly made, so it would be strange if he had no interest in it.

Then, Zhu Biao was confused!

Sour, spicy, fresh, salty...

Wow, this dish is really delicious.

It’s not that there are any rare ingredients or anything else in this dish.

This thing really makes people salivate.

Then he unconsciously ate a mouthful of rice.

The key is, the more you chew it, the more delicious it becomes.

It's the kind that makes you unable to stop.

Now Zhu Biao understood why his sister and wife looked like that when they came in just now.

This thing really can't be stopped!
It feels so good!

After a long time, the three people who were sweating from eating put down their bowls and chopsticks almost at the same time, then touched their stomachs and showed satisfied smiles.

Looking at the completely empty bowl in front of him, Zhu Biao smacked his lips and finally asked the question he wanted to ask.

"Anqing, what on earth is this?"

"I know the rest. I've eaten the meat and pickled bamboo shoots, but what is that particularly appetizing spicy thing in the middle?"

"It's so hot in my mouth, but I can't stop eating it!"

Princess Anqing smiled slyly: "Hehe, it tastes good!"

"This is something new that my father-in-law grew in the backyard himself!"

"Since my sister-in-law has no appetite, I went to my father-in-law's place, got some chili peppers, and then told the kitchen."

"They are all elderly people in the family. As long as you tell them that it is my sister-in-law who wants it, they will know how to get it right away!"

"Now it seems that it really works!"

Hu Xinyue was smiling and holding her belly, looking so satisfied.

"Well, even though the mansion's chefs have been sent to the palace, everyone in the mansion knows that Old Man Zheng will not leave the mansion."

"He is happy to cook in the Hu Mansion and even let his son come into the mansion!"

"He also learned many new dishes from his uncle!"

"Hehe, I'm the eldest daughter of the Hu family. How could they not know my taste?"

Hu Xinyue, who had been hungry for several days and felt a little exhausted, now had a good appetite after eating the food from her mother's house. She was so proud.

Zhu Biao smacked his lips as he looked at the bowl of food in front of him, then looked at An Qing hesitantly.

"Anqing, how many peppers does your father-in-law have left?"

"We can't have no food after this one, right?"

Princess Anqing was stunned, then looked at her brother and sister-in-law in front of her with a little embarrassment, and whispered.

"I'm just a daughter-in-law after all!"

"I can't take away all the things that my father-in-law has worked so hard to grow, right?"

"How about you think of other ways, brother?"

Zhu Biao nodded when he heard this, and then turned around and went to find Zhu Yuanzhang in a cunning manner.

Zhu Yuanzhang was originally very happy to hear that his daughter-in-law could eat.

As a result, when he turned around, he heard something that surprised him greatly.

The reason why we can eat this meal this time is actually the new seasoning grown by Mr. Hu?
Zhu Yuanzhang almost spit out his tea on the spot.

How come Hu Weiyong’s mansion can always grow new things?
