Ming Dynasty: Every day, Zhu Yuanzhang is in trouble

In Shuangshui Village, over at the sweet potato field, Mei Yin looked at Zhu Liangzu, who was squatting there, eating the two piles of cow dung on the shovel very quickly, like a wolf.

He seemed stunned for a moment.

Zhu Liangzu is really capable, he actually eats it!
Moreover, it is eaten so quickly and tastes so sweet, which is unexpected.

If you don’t know, you would think this thing smells so good!

Not to mention Mei Yin, Li Jinglong and Zhu Di next to him also seemed full of surprise.

By the way, don’t think that they were mocking Zhu Liangzu just now.

It looked like he wanted Zhu Liangzu to eat the cow dung.

But I know that under such circumstances, it is basically impossible.

He simply wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of losing the bet to teach Zhu Liangzu a lesson and make him lose face.

Now that his father had spoken again, the matter was left unresolved.

Before doing this, he had it in mind that his father was present at this event and it was impossible for him to watch it to the end and make anyone eat cow dung.

My father will definitely smooth things over.

When the time comes, we can just take advantage of the situation and that's it.

Who would have thought that Zhu Liangzu was such a tough guy.

He actually ate it, and ate it so fast!

It's a talent!

The other onlookers were also stunned when they saw this scene.

I was shocked by such a thing.

Worth it!

This time it’s a good time!
Saw the biggest excitement.

It not only witnessed the birth of such an auspicious thing as the sweet potato.

We even saw a person like Zhu Liangzu eating cow dung here.

But it's really rare to see!
Thank you, Your Majesty, for coming and bringing all the civil and military officials to harvest the sweet potatoes.

If it weren't for Your Majesty, who brought all of them here to harvest sweet potatoes, they would have never had the chance to see such a rare spectacle.

So exciting!
It's so unexpected!

For a moment, countless military and civil officials who were originally exhausted with back pain and felt like they were about to die.

Don’t mention how excited I was at that moment.

I would like to start thanking Boss Zhu here.

Some people have even thought about observing it carefully.

Keep this scene firmly in mind, and write it down when you return.

Draw a picture of Zhu Liangzu eating cow dung.

This is really funny when you think about it.

Let’s see if after this incident, Zhu Liangzu can still be as arrogant as before!

Evil people will be punished by evil people!
A person like Zhu Liangzu has really met his match this time!

But this matter cannot be blamed on Mei Yin.

It's Zhu Liangzu's fault for not being able to control his words.

His Majesty has already issued an imperial decree, saying that Mei Yin was given the title of Shuangshui Earl because he discovered that the sweet potato yield was several thousand kilograms per mu.

I brought them here today specifically to harvest sweet potatoes and witness this joyful event.

But in the end, I don't know what was wrong with Zhu Liangzu. He insisted on eating a pile of cow dung at this time, saying that the sweet potato yield per mu could exceed 2,000 kilograms.

This time, someone caught him in a weak spot and made him cry out, and he was in a difficult situation.

I can only say that it's all my own fault!
But there are also people who, while watching the fun here, also feel that Zhu Liangzu is indeed a big shot.

He keeps his word and is a ruthless person.

Even though he lost the bet, it was such an outrageous bet, but he actually fulfilled it in front of the emperor and all the civil and military officials.

Zhu Liangzu's courage to accept defeat is quite commendable.

Worthy of admiration.

"vomit!"

"vomit!"

After a brief shock, many people couldn't bear it anymore.

Mei Yin also had tears in his eyes from retching.

This scene is so beautiful that it is hard to bear to look at it.

Just thinking about it makes people feel particularly uncomfortable.

Although cows eat grass, and in some places, they also seem to like to eat cow belly soup.

And it’s also a supreme delicacy.

But that was just the grass in the stomach, which had not been fully digested.

Besides, it was specially cooked.

The taste is naturally different from what Zhu Liangzu is eating now.

And the meaning is also different.

This thing is completely different inside the body and outside the body.

Just like saliva, everyone secretes saliva.

But the saliva in the mouth and the saliva after spitting out are two different things.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang, who usually had a good appetite and was not picky about food, couldn't help but retching when he saw Zhu Liangzu's behavior.

Not only others were retching, but Zhu Liangzu was also retching.

When everyone thought that Zhu Liangzu would stop after retching, they found that this was not the case.

Zhu Liangzu's ruthlessness is beyond many people's imagination.

After retching, he continued.

He ate very quickly while retching.

There is simply no one left!

Mei Yi watched this scene and couldn't help but retching.

However, he did not feel any excitement about this matter.

After all, the person he wanted to see eating cow dung was Mei Yin.

As a result, the person who eats cow dung now is Zhu Xian’s father, with whom he has a good relationship.

This was a little hard for him to accept.

However, after a moment, my mind changed and I felt happy again.

Because what he was thinking about was another aspect.

In the past, although Zhu Xian seemed to share the same hatred with him, the bastard Mei Yin seemed very dissatisfied.

But...how to say it.

After all, it's just talk.

The main hatred was the hatred between himself and Mei Yin.

Zhu Xian is not involved.

There was no major grudge or conflict of interest between him and Mei Yin.

But now, isn't this hatred coming?

The dignified Marquis of Yongjia, Zhu Xian's father, was forced to eat cow dung in public at this time. This was a great shame and humiliation!
From the moment Zhu Liangzu started eating the cow dung, he and Mei Yin were destined to become enemies.

And they are the kind that are irreconcilable.

This Zhu Liangzu is not a simple person.

He is very capable and has made great military achievements.

The key is that he has a bad temper.

Now that’s good, after this incident, our strength will be much stronger.

The relationship between Zhu Xian and himself will get better.

Marquis Yongjia will also stand on the same front with me.

At least that's the case when dealing with this guy Mei Yin.

There will be absolutely no slacking off.

Even more positive than yourself.

Good! Good! That's fine too.

Mei Yin, that bastard, doesn't even know whether he's alive or dead!

Does he really think that after becoming the emperor's son-in-law, he can do whatever he wants and ignore others?
How can it be!

The contribution of discovering sweet potatoes seems significant, but it is not the result of fighting on the battlefield.

An arrogant youngster like Mei Yin is still far inferior to Zhu Liangzu, who is as skilled as a sword and a gun and has lived through that period.

Just let that bastard Mei Yin go wild!

One day, he will be unlucky!

Thinking of this, my mood improved a lot.

At the same time, his gaze towards Mei Yin became even colder.

With some mockery.

"That's enough! That's enough, stop eating!"

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't stand it anymore and once again spoke up to dissuade Zhu Liangzu.

But Zhu Liangzu turned a deaf ear to it.

Using both hands, he quickly pushed it into his mouth.

At first, everyone thought that even if Zhu Liangzu really ate cow dung, he would only eat a little and then it would be over.

It's just a symbolic fulfillment of the bet.

But who could have imagined that the final result was that Zhu Liangzu actually ate the two piles of cow dung.

One cannot help but sigh, he is such a ruthless guy!

Zhu Liangzu is worthy of being a military general, he has a big appetite!
In a short while, the two piles of cow dung brought by Li Jinglong and Prince of Yan Zhu Di had been eaten up by Zhu Liangzu.

Zhu Liangzu looked at Mei Yin with eyes that seemed to be dripping with blood and said:
"I've fulfilled my bet!"

When Mei Yin saw Zhu Liangzu looked up and spoke to him, he immediately took three or four steps back.

It's not that he was afraid that Zhu Liangzu would suddenly attack and hurt people or kill him under the stimulation.

Rather, it’s just that Zhu Liangzu’s current appearance is really too ugly.

He was afraid of disgusting himself.

"Marquis Yongjia, you are willing to accept defeat and not default on your debt. You are a real man! I admire you!"

Mei Yin gave Zhu Liangzu a thumbs up and raised his voice.

When he said these words, his emotions were very full and there was no hypocrisy.

What he said was all true, he really admired it.

By the way, Mei Yin generally doesn't like to bet with others.

If he was not absolutely sure of winning, he would never make such a bet with others even if others asked first.

Moreover, even if he really lost by accident, it would be impossible to ask him to fulfill such a bet.

He will definitely find ways to break the bet.

Just laugh at others if they want to.

It's a bit of a laugh, but it won't grow on your body.

In the future, there will be other ways to turn the situation around.

But if you really eat this cow dung, it will really go into your mouth.

There is a big gap between the two.

Mei Yin could still tell the difference.

Zhu Liangzu stared at Mei Yin with bloodshot eyes for a while before he finally resisted the urge to kill.

Mei Yin looked at Zhu Liangzu, even though Zhu Liangzu was an excellent martial artist and a famous general who had fought on the battlefield.

But if a fight really breaks out, he is definitely no match for me.

For such a long time, I have been farming and raising pigs in Shuangshui Village, so I am not a white person.

You can become stronger by triggering the pig feeding process multiple times.

It's just that you rarely get some related rewards such as skills.

More importantly, it is an improvement in strength, speed and other aspects.

By this time, Mei Yin didn't look too strong.

But in terms of strength, even a big guy like Qin Wang Zhu Chong, who was born with supernatural powers, cannot compare with him.

"Your Majesty, I feel a little unwell, so I will take my leave now."

Zhu Liangzu withdrew his gaze from Mei Yin.

Salute to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded when he heard this and agreed with Zhu Liangzu's words.

After what happened, Zhu Liangzu didn't have the face to stay here any longer.

He felt uncomfortable staying here.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Then you can go back and have a good rest.

Do you want us to send some guards to escort you back?"

After expressing his gratitude, Zhu Liangzu shook his head to indicate that it was not necessary.

Zhu Xian supported Zhu Liangzu and walked back.

His eyes were also full of blood red.

After walking a few steps forward, he couldn't help but turn around and stare at Mei Yin.

Mei Yin stood here, calm and composed.

He looked into her eyes without hesitation.

After Zhu Xian looked at Mei Yin coldly for a few times, he finally didn't say anything else.

He supported his father, continued walking forward, and left.

But everyone knows that the feud between Mei Yin and Zhu Liangzu has been completely established.

After Zhu Liangzu walked forward about fifty or sixty feet, he began to vomit.

He vomited a lot and even vomited bile.

After vomiting, he took the water hyacinth brought by his son Zhu Xian and kept gargling his mouth.

But how to say it…even if I spit it out now, the meaning will be completely different.

He just ate it in public.

It took him a while to recover.

Keep moving forward.

But those blood-red eyes emitted a cold light and were filled with murderous intent!
It was obvious that Mei Yin was completely annoyed.

Mei Yin knew that after this incident, Zhu Liangzu would be completely annoyed.

But I don't care too much.

It is impossible for a person to have everyone say hello to him when he lives in the world.

It will inevitably cause a lot of discussion.

Zhu Liangzu brought this upon himself and cannot blame anyone else.

It would be fine if he behaves himself in the future.

If he is not honest, he has ways to deal with it.

Do you really think that you are only here to farm and feed pigs?
"Let's go, let's go, go back!"

Standing here and watching Zhu Liangzu leave, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke up to greet the civil and military officials.

Upon hearing this, everyone followed him to Shuangshui Village.

"Second brother-in-law, be careful, it seems Zhu Liangzu completely hates you this time.

Don't even think about untying this knot from now on.

Zhu Liangzu is a petty and arrogant person.

This matter will definitely not be let go.

It's possible that he might even attack his second brother-in-law.

I still need to be more careful in the future."

As they were walking back, Crown Prince Zhu Biao came over, looked at Mei Yin and whispered, "Give Mei Yin instructions."

He saw today's scene very clearly and took it all in.

Although what his second brother-in-law and his men did made him feel relieved, they also really offended Zhu Liangzu.

At this time, he felt it necessary to remind his second brother-in-law.

"After I return, I will dispatch another hundred-man army of the Crown Prince to station at Shuangshui Village."

Zhu Biao gave his solution.

He naturally didn't need to think too much about which side he was on in this matter.

When it comes to the contributions made by my second brother-in-law, sweet potatoes are just the tip of the iceberg.

There are many other achievements that have not been made public.

Zhu Biao knew how important his second brother-in-law was.

Besides, before this, he had promised his second brother-in-law that he would protect him.

Under such circumstances, it is natural to fulfill the corresponding commitments.

After hearing what Zhu Biao said, Mei Yin shook his head and said, "Brother, it's okay.

He has a plan, but I have a ladder to climb over the wall?
It's nothing more than soldiers coming to block it and water coming to cover it up.

Do you really think I'm so easy to bully just because I'm farming and raising pigs here?
Originally, there was nothing between me and Zhu Liangzu.

But this time, he insisted on revealing himself.

Here he is showing off his abilities, targeting me.

If he dares to do it, then I dare to take it.

If he behaves himself from now on, it will be fine. But if he doesn't, it's hard to say who will be in trouble!"

Upon hearing Mei Yin's words, Crown Prince Zhu Biao immediately felt relieved.

Originally, he was a little worried that his second brother-in-law would feel pressured by the performance of Zhu Liangzu and Zhu Xian after experiencing this incident.

There will be a period of time in the future when I will feel uneasy.

That doesn't seem to be the case now.

I have somewhat underestimated the ability of my second brother-in-law in this regard.

This way, he felt relieved.

"Yes! My second brother-in-law is right! This time, Zhu Liangzu really found it himself!
Next, it would be fine if he just behaved himself.

If you don't behave, let's see who can beat whom!"

Zhu Di also came over and spoke.

“Yeah, look at that bastard, what will happen next!
Don't take himself too seriously.

You treat us brothers like clay!"

The third prince of Jin, Zhu Gang, also came over, and he was somewhat displeased with Zhu Di.

This is because before, he wanted to find a pile of cow dung with a shovel and shovel it over.

But in the end, Zhu Di got there first.

This made his boss very unhappy.

He and Zhu Di always quarreled for no reason.

At this time, it is normal to have such a reaction.

"Yes! If he dares to go too far, I will beat him to death!"

King Qin Zhu Chong also spoke.

It can only be said that Zhu Liangzu provoked Mei Yin and provoked the wrong person.

He simply didn't understand how powerful the person he had provoked was.

What they didn't know was that Mei Yin, who seemed to be farming and raising pigs in Shuangshui Village, had actually already quietly taken care of all his brothers-in-law.

These ones are all real princes from the Ming Dynasty!
Moreover, there is also an executive vice emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

What a concept!
Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for him to do anything to Mei Yin.

Moreover, besides them, there is also Li Jinglong.

Even Li Jinglong, who was of lower status, was a duke of two kingdoms!

He is far from being comparable to Zhu Liangzu, the little Marquis of Yongjia.

……

"I think you are all curious about what sweet potatoes taste like.

So today, let's prepare a sweet potato feast and let all of you have a taste!"

In Shuangshui Village, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at everyone present and spoke excitedly.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang knew without asking that there must be many people who had similar thoughts as he did.

I feel that sweet potatoes, although they seem to have a high yield.

But it may not be very delicious.

He did this to dispel everyone's doubts.

Of course, there is another reason, which is that there are sweet potatoes for everyone to taste.

Sweet potatoes are such a precious thing that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to waste them at all.

I just wish I could treat them all as seeds, store them in cellars, and expand planting next year.

But now, things are a little different.

Because when peeling sweet potatoes, no matter how careful you are, some of them will inevitably be damaged.

These sweet potatoes have been picked out and can no longer be stored in the cellar.

It breaks down easily and won't last until the next year.

So these sweet potatoes can be steamed or cooked.

Moreover, if these thirty acres of land are added together, the number of sweet potatoes that are damaged is quite a lot.

So Zhu Yuanzhang decided to prepare a sweet potato banquet tonight and treat everyone.

Let them all understand how good sweet potatoes are.

Why do I value it so much?

After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, many people applauded.

Many people are curious about what this sweet potato tastes like.

We want to see what this high-yield crop tastes like.

Mei Yi, Mei Sizu, Lu Zhongheng and others had even more complicated feelings.

Although I was surprised by the yield of sweet potatoes.

But because of Mei Yin, he has a natural hostility towards sweet potatoes.

I think this thing must not taste good.

I have never seen anything that is produced in large quantities and tastes so good.

The taste of this sweet potato is just to fool the peasants below.

Hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said at this time was exactly what he wanted!

Next we can verify how correct they are!
Following Zhu Yuanzhang's order, Mei Yin started to make arrangements.

Soon, many people started to get busy here and started steaming sweet potatoes.

We also set up a rack and roasted sweet potatoes.

Originally, he was only planning to take care of the meals for Zhu Yuanzhang and his relatives like his eldest brother-in-law.

As for those ordinary ministers, let them solve it themselves.

But at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang had already said that he wanted to use sweet potatoes to entertain everyone.

Mei Yin naturally had to make arrangements as well...

After seeing how Mei Yin was going to cook sweet potatoes, many people were stunned.

Is it really so easy to eat sweet potato?

If that's true, it would be much more convenient than wheat and rice.

When rice is ready to be eaten, it needs to be harvested first and then taken to the threshing floor for threshing.

Gather together.

Then it is put on the stone mill or in the stone mortar for peeling.

Reveal the rice inside.

Before eating, wash it carefully.

Even so, there is still sand.

Then wheat is also troublesome to eat.

After the harvest, the wheat is taken to the threshing floor for threshing.

When eating, you need to grind it with a stone mill to get flour before you can cook it.

As a result, the sweet potato can be dug out of the ground and eaten directly by steaming or cooking without going through many other steps.

This really saves a lot of trouble.

If it tasted better, it would be even better!
"Mei Yin, besides storing them in cellars, is there any other good way to store these sweet potatoes?"

Mei Yin said: "Yes, you can also cut the sweet potatoes into slices, dry them when the weather is good, and preserve them.

Based on previous experience in storing vegetables in winter, if all the sweet potatoes are stored in the sweet potato cellar, many of them will definitely go bad.

However, if it is cut and dried, it will be much more convenient to store.

It’s the same principle as drying vegetables.”

After hearing what Mei Yin said, Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment and nodded.

I think that is indeed the case.

Now, he doesn't have to worry anymore.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also somewhat worried that storing sweet potatoes in this way alone was unreliable.

There will be a lot of damage.

Moreover, if all the sweet potatoes are stored in cellars, the quantity will be too large and a lot of sweet potato cellars will need to be dug, which is a considerable amount of work.

Now, after listening to Mei Yin’s proposal, all worries in this regard have disappeared.

It seems that Mei Yin is really concerned about the sweet potato issue.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to take all of these into consideration.

What Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know was that these were actually methods known to Mei Yin in later generations.

"Father-in-law, after the sweet potatoes are dried, they can also be ground into flour."

As he spoke, Mei Yin took out a small jar from the house.

It contains ground sweet potato flour.

“I have conducted some experiments before.

I cut some sweet potatoes and dried them, and tried various methods.

After the sweet potatoes are dried, you can put them directly into the pot, add water and cook them vigorously.

After cooking, the soup is sweet and the dried sweet potatoes are also chewy.

The taste is quite good.

In addition, I got some dried sweet potatoes, crushed them on a mill, and then ground them.

So I got these sweet potato noodles.

Sweet potato flour can also be used to make steamed bread or pancakes.”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Mei Yin's words, his eyes brightened even more.

Good! This is good!

It would be even better if it could be ground into sweet potato flour and used to steam pot heads or make pancakes.

This sweet potato is really a great thing!

"Then use the sweet potato flour to make some pot heads and make pancakes to eat.

Let's have a taste.

See how it tastes.”

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a happy face.

Mei Yin immediately arranged for someone to do it.

Soon, the sweet aroma of steamed sweet potatoes filled Shuangshui Village.

This... sweet potato tastes so delicious?

Many people couldn't help but sniffle and swallow their saliva.

I am looking forward to sweet potatoes more and more.

It’s not all because sweet potatoes are so delicious.

Another big reason is that after these people came to Shuangshui Village, they were basically busy except for drinking water.

After surviving a day's work, I was already starving.

At this time, I smelled the sweet aroma of steamed sweet potatoes again.

It would be strange if I wasn't hungry.

Everyone stretched their necks, just wanting to wait until the sweet potatoes were steamed so they could eat them.

As they waited anxiously, the sweet potatoes began to be steamed.

The lid of the pot was opened, and hot steam rose up in the air.

The air is filled with a sweet scent that is so rich that it cannot be dissolved.

The sweet potatoes were taken out of the steamer and presented to Zhu Yuanzhang and other civil and military officials.

And in front of the guards who came, invite them to eat.

"Come on! Eat all! Eat all! You're welcome! Have a taste of this sweet potato!
Look at this auspicious sign of our Ming Dynasty, is it worthy of this title? "

Zhu Yuanzhang was the first to pick up a sweet potato, and he was reluctant to put it down even though his left and right hands were so hot.

He did not forget to smile and asked everyone to eat quickly.

After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's call, the others couldn't wait to pick up the sweet potatoes.

They were already starving.

Coupled with the sweet aroma of sweet potatoes, it is indeed very tempting.

Everyone's stomach was rumbling.

Zhu Yuanzhang peeled the sweet potato and took a bite.

My mouth immediately felt sweet, and it was soft and glutinous, just great.

He ate this sweet potato several times and found it especially delicious every time.

Of course, with the yield of sweet potatoes, even if the taste was not as good as it is now, Zhu Yuanzhang would never get tired of eating them!
The civil and military officials present all followed Zhu Yuanzhang's example in peeling sweet potatoes.

Can't wait to eat sweet potatoes.

After tasting the sweet potatoes, everyone's eyes widened.

Delicious! Really delicious!
The taste is absolutely amazing!

Even before this, many people like Mei Yi, who had been criticizing sweet potatoes in their hearts for a long time and thought that with such a large output, they must not be very delicious, were also shocked.

The taste of this sweet potato is unexpectedly good.

It's really unexpected!
good to eat!

How come there are such good crops in this world?

Not only is the yield so high, the taste is also surprisingly good!

What good luck Mei Yin has!
Only then can we get such good crops!

This was also the first meal Zhu Yuanzhang had at Mei Yin's place.

Even though he had come to Mei Yin many times before.

But this was the first time that he was able to make a living from Mei Yin.

It’s really sad to think about it.

Looking at everyone eating sweet potatoes and praising them, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but smile.

The mood has become better.

After this incident, let’s see who dares to say anything bad about sweet potatoes!
Then sweet potato porridge was served, and everyone praised it as well.

Sweet potatoes are extremely delicious and have conquered the taste buds of many people in an instant.

Especially combined with his extremely high output.

It is even more amazing...

……

When the sweet potato dinner was over, Mei Yin felt that it was time for him to make his own death appeal! (End of this chapter)
