little emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 79 Steamed Bread
In early summer and May, the sky is just slightly hot, and it is the most comfortable and pleasant time of the year. According to the usual practice, the Dragon Boat Festival is the busiest time in the first half of the year in the capital. Shocked, this is what Zhu Changluo and Ye He saw when they came out of the Ministry of Rites.

Although there are still a few days before the Dragon Boat Festival, the streets and alleys in the capital are already very lively.Looking around, Daming Gate and Donghua Gate are bustling with people shouting one after another, accompanied by the sound of firecrackers, talking, applauding, juggling, practicing stalls, teasing, and people kicking long poles. The places to be seen were surrounded by people three floors in and three floors out, and it was difficult to even turn around.

Thinking of staying away from the capital after the Dragon Boat Festival, Zhu Changluo and Ye He looked at each other. The two were connected, Zhu Changluo coughed, and suddenly pointed to the sky, "Look... what is that?"

The Jin Yiwei, who were dozens of personal guards behind him, were startled, and they couldn't help but look up at the sky. The sky was as clear as blue, and the sky was cloudless. When they looked back, His Highness Prince Rui had long since disappeared.The Jinyi guards looked at each other, knowing that they had fallen into a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain, but with Ye He by His Highness' side, they had nothing to worry about and were happy to be at ease.

Ye He took Zhu Changluo's hand, turned left and right, and shuttled through the crowd on the street. With Ye He's kung fu, he was almost swept away by the crowds on the street and Zhu Changluo, not to mention Said that Xiao Fuzi followed behind him very hard.

Both of them were teenagers at heart, they walked and played all the way, until it was noon, they found a restaurant, went up and found a window seat.The name of the restaurant is Liubiju, and there is a couplet at the door: all the tourists from the north and the south will be wiped out in one sweep, and pedestrians will come here to smell the fragrance.

The waiter came over to say hello, "Masters, what kind of dishes do you want to order? This is a century-old restaurant, and we specialize in sauced knuckles. When the great grandfather came to try it, he said yes! Besides these, There are also steamed lamb, steamed bear's paw, steamed deer tail, roasted duck, roasted chick, roasted goose, braised salted duck, sauced chicken, bacon, vinegared pork ribs, pine flower belly..."

Hundreds of dish names blurted out without a knot in the tongue. Zhu Changluo was fine, but Ye He became a turtle instead, staring at his tongue non-stop.Randomly ordered a few dishes, of course the sauced elbow is essential, Zhu Changluo looked at the scenery outside the window with great interest, Ye He took out a silver ingot from his arms and threw it to the waiter, "Except for the banknotes, the rest is all for you. "

There are at least two taels of this ingot of silver, and there will be as much as one tael left after the money is sold out.You must know that one tael of silver is enough for a family of four for a year. The waiter in the shop has never seen such a generous person. He seemed to be holding a lump of charcoal in his hand, and said with a blushing look: "Little... thank you two masters." The reward is just too much..."

Sure enough, treasure touches people's hearts. Just now, the tongue is as if it has been oiled.Xiao Fuzi shouted: "Just take what the Lord rewards you, and just tell the kitchen to take good care of it."

The waiter in the shop replied repeatedly: "I know, I know, please wait a moment, my little one, I'll go down and get ready, you just watch it." After rubbing oil on the soles of his feet, he flew out like a gust of wind, watching the movement, It may be slightly inferior to Ye He, but it is not far behind the group of Jinyi guards in the Forbidden Palace.

When the wind comes, it is comfortable and comfortable. When you look at the window, you can see the streets full of people, bustling, safe and prosperous. The current Ming Dynasty is a politically chaotic but economically prosperous Ming Dynasty with splendid culture and vitality. Although the Ming Dynasty at this time is suffering It's been a long time, but it's still far from the time to die from a long illness, but if two years later...

In two years, it will be the 20th year of Wanli. By then, the Ming Dynasty will really go dark. The famous three major Wanli campaigns in history will kick off this year. The eight-year war will cost as much as More than 160 million taels of silver wiped out all of Daming's family wealth!To make matters worse, in the 27th year of Wanli, under the guise of restoring the three major palaces, Wanli began to collect mining taxes and business taxes. Really entered the sun curtain Xishan, terminally ill, hopeless.

Time is running out, and his own path has not really started yet. Zhu Changluo has no idea whether he can save all this.

The dishes are served like flowing water, the meat and vegetables are overlapping, the color is bright, and the color, fragrance and taste are really good.Under Xiao Er's careful attention, two people came up to the beaded curtain, sat and stood, and began to play and sing to add to the fun.

"To retreat is to advance, and to lose is also to gain." Ye He's chopsticks were like shooting stars, holding a chicken leg and shaking it in front of Zhu Changluo's eyes, "Zhu Xiaojiu, if you want to become a god, stay for a while. At this time, it is important to sacrifice to the temple of the five internal organs. The sky is big and the earth is big." The most important thing is to eat first."

Ye He's words hit his heart, no matter what happens to him tomorrow, just let go and move forward!Infected by Ye He, Zhu Changluo smiled, the corners of his eyes and brows were clear and pure, the smile fell into the eyes of a man in Tsing Yi at the corner of the restaurant, and he was a little lost in thought for a moment.

The meal was about to be finished when suddenly there was a commotion under the window. He put down his chopsticks and looked out of the window curiously. People are chasing after him.

"Stop! Little bastard, our capital is a place where the law is enforced, and you dare to run away after robbing things..."

"Catch it and beat it to death, these things make trouble every day, the most abominable thing..."

When the child ran downstairs, Zhu Changluo could see clearly from above. The child's clothes were torn, his face was dark as if he hadn't washed it for several years, and he was running with two steaming buns tightly in his hand. There were too many people going up, and suddenly he stumbled and fell to the ground, his body like a hemp stick rolled a few times on the ground, but he ignored the bloodstains on his face and hands, picked up the steamed buns that fell on the ground, and was about to run.

But it was too late, the people who caught up later surrounded him.The leader, a big shirtless man, lifted the child up. Without saying a word, his big hand like a fan slapped it twice. After two crisp sounds, the child's mouth was already bleeding, but his hand was dead. Holding the steamed bun, he didn't say a word.

Zhu Changluo's face sank, the good appetite just now was gone, Xiao Fuzi secretly complained in his heart, if he didn't come sooner or later, he came at this time when His Highness was having dinner, it's really bad luck to stir up the interest for no reason, before he finished his slander, There was a gust of wind beside him, and Ye He jumped out of the window.

The group of people below hadn't finished swearing, the fat man felt a gust of wind in his ears, half of his arm lost feeling in an instant, he didn't finish yelling, the child was in the hands of a boy in black clothes, and the group of people next to him reacted , couldn't help being furious, and cursed at each other: "Who are you, you dare to meddle in our business!" Everyone stretched out their arms, but Ye He stared at him coldly, and no one dared to come up and make a move .

"In broad daylight, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, if you have something to say, why bother shouting and killing the peace."

Xiao Fuzi took the lead to separate the crowd watching the excitement, Zhu Changluo walked in slowly, and after scanning the group of people with clear eyes, he fell on the child in Ye He's hand. But I tried my best not to cry.

Seeing Zhu Changluo walking forward, the child took two steps back and looked up at him vigilantly.Just this one glance directly hit the softest part of Zhu Changluo's heart. The eyes were both strong and fragile, cold and innocent, and his small face was full of vigilance. He hid the two steamed buns in his hand behind him, and stared at him fiercely. Xiaoxiao couldn't help shivering.

Zhu Changluo turned his head to the big fat man with a smile and said, "This uncle has your surname. I don't know what offended this little brother. I'm taking care of my business today. How about breaking it down for you?"

The fat man was pointed to the arm by Ye He, and half of his body is still numb until now. He was originally angry, but he was forced by Zhu Changluo's noble aura, and his anger disappeared.

"Young master, it's not that we want to bully him. This kid is not once or twice! We are no richer than you, so don't worry about this crap, just give this child to me and take him back."

After speaking, he stretched out his hand to fish, Zhu Changluo took a step forward, and stood in front of the child. The big man was already a little scared to see Zhu Changluo's adornment, and Ye He glanced at him with ice-like eyes. His hand suddenly went numb again.

If you can't afford to be offended, you can only hide it, the fat man stared at the child and yelled, "Little dog, look at the two of you today... the young master will let you go, next time you dare to go to my house to steal something!" I won’t break your legs!” After speaking, he glanced at Zhu Changluo and Ye He, angrily spit on the ground, turned and left.

I dare to feel that the steamed buns that this child is clutching tightly in his hands were stolen, so it is no wonder that he is angry, but it is not enough to shout and kill for two steamed buns.

"Take this, and treat him as money for eating your steamed buns!"

Ye He raised his hand and a silver light went straight to the fat man, his momentum was like thunder and there was no way to dodge it, just hearing the sound of the wind scared the fat man out of his wits, he couldn't dodge his legs and fell to the ground, he thought he was going to die, but he didn't Thinking of a silver ingot hitting his head from the air, the force was not too big, just enough to smash his head out of a bag.

It's ridiculous to be childlike towards Ye He, and if you give money, you will give money. You have to create such a battle to scare away two of the fat man's three souls before he is reconciled.Someone next to him lifted the fat man up and handed the silver into his hand, which immediately caused the people around him to gasp... The silver was as much as five taels, not to mention two steamed buns, two taels of money. A mountain of steamed buns can also be bought.

Even though he was frightened and frightened, he got the unexpected joy, the fat man took the money and ran away without saying a word.Xiao Fuzi shook his head and curled his lips, such a big piece of silver... Young Master Ye really doesn't know how to live.

The debtor left, and the onlookers dispersed. Zhu Changluo's eyes fell on the child again. The child gritted his teeth and didn't say a word. Even when he was beaten, he didn't cry like a normal child. This surprised Zhu Changluo.

"Hey, what's your name? Why are you robbing other people's steamed buns?"

The child was quite stubborn, and still refused to speak, but when he heard the word grabbing steamed buns, he lowered his stubborn head, and Zhu Changluo didn't want to embarrass him, so he turned his head and glanced at Xiao Fuzi, who understood , reached out from his bosom to take out a silver ingot, and put it in the child's hand.

"Fortunately, you met our palace... Young Master, take this money back, it will be enough for your whole family to eat steamed buns for a year."
