First Minister of Ming Dynasty

First Minister Section 612

Seeing Ma Sanbao swallowing the potatoes, Zhu Xiongying turned around and saw the teacher gave him another one.

"This time it's your turn."

Zhu Xiongying was stunned for a moment, and rushed towards Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Grandfather, you eat too!"

Zhu Yuanzhang took it with a smile, "My dear grandson, why don't you eat it?"

"The next one, the next one will be mine."

Zhu Xiongying took it and was about to stuff it into his mouth, but he found Zhang Ximeng who had been busy all the time. He quickly walked on his short legs and brought it to Zhang Ximeng.

"Grandpa, yours!"

Zhang Ximeng took the warm baked potatoes, and couldn't help but glared at Zhang Chengtian and Xia Zhifeng, "Look, a disciple and a son are not as sensible as His Highness, you guys are so disappointing!"

Xia Zhifeng just lowered her head and smiled, she was not afraid of Zhang Ximeng's scolding.

In fact, after following the teacher for a while, Xia Zhifeng knew that Zhang Ximeng was informal and would not care about such things at all.

But Zhu Xiongying can think of it, which also proves that this kid is really good,

It is good to have elders in your heart.

Zhang Chengtian wasn't too scared, this wasn't my home game, so why did he perform so well?

Leave the opportunity to the emperor and grandson, and see the little guy behave well, maybe the master will be happier!

Look, in order to make the emperor look more sensible, I did not hesitate to defile myself, it is really not easy!

A few small potatoes are definitely not enough for Zhu Xiongying.

A real dish, served quickly.

This pot of beef with potatoes stunned several people.

Including Lao Zhu!

He had known for a long time that Zhang Ximeng was a good cook.

Back then, if you wanted to have a full stomach, you had to rely on Empress Ma, but if you wanted to eat well, you had to rely on Zhang Ximeng.

Cooking is not only about talent, but also about inheritance.

When Empress Ma was a child, she lived in a well-to-do family, so she was best at making pancakes and noodles, which were mainly delicious.

But like Zhang Ximeng, his family can barely be considered a famous family, and the food he has eaten and seen before is of course different.

He knew Zhang Ximeng's culinary skills a few years ago, but now this dish has completely proved Zhang Ximeng's level, and it is absolutely immortal.

Roast beef with potatoes is at most a home-cooked dish in later generations, and most people can cook it, but whether it can be done well depends on the level.

What Zhang Ximeng chooses is veal, and it is the beef brisket, which is the most tender.

Since Beiping sent cattle and sheep to the south on a large scale, Yingtian has no shortage of beef.

But it is not easy to be so fresh and tender.

The best beef is stewed soft and delicious.Served with pre-oiled potato cubes, the taste is instantly full.Moreover, Zhang Ximeng also added some ginger juice to increase the spiciness and open up the taste buds.

Everyone can't wait to eat.

Zhang Chengtian first picked up a piece of potato. The potato piece that had soaked up the soup was completely different from the roasted potato. It was extremely soft and mellow. After taking a bite, it almost flew up to the clouds.

"Father, you can always be a chef!"

At this time, Xia Zhifeng, Zhu Xiongying, including Lao Zhu, each took a piece, not only the potatoes, but also the beef, all of which were extremely delicious.

Everyone praised in unison, Zhang Ximeng took a spoonful of broth with a spoon and poured it on the rice without haste.

"My lord, do you want to try?"

Lao Zhu couldn't wait to follow Zhang Ximeng's example, and brought himself a spoonful of broth and two pieces of beef.

The aroma of rice, the aroma of meat, and the excellent taste of potatoes are a perfect match.

With just this one mouthful, Lao Zhu was completely sunk, he couldn't wait to stuff it into his mouth, and soon he emptied half of the bowl of rice.Lao Zhu hurriedly added another spoonful of broth to himself, and then said, "Sir, if every household can eat this, what is that?"

What else?

Every family has roast beef with potatoes, so you should ask Emperor Sui Zongyu!

However, Zhang Ximeng still told Zhu Yuanzhang very seriously, "I'm afraid it's the Hongwu prosperity, it's the Han and Tang Dynasties, it's nothing to worry about."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded heavily, and then patted Zhu Xiongying's head, "Did you hear that, this is your goal!"

Zhu Xiongying, who was eating with his head down, had no idea how big a burden fell on his shoulders.

The little guy is quite concerned about Ma Sanbao, he is the most honest and has no one to take care of him, what if he is hungry?

But in fact Zhu Xiongying was worried for nothing, Ma Sanbao ate more than anyone else.

Although he has eaten beef and mutton since he was a child, he has never eaten such a delicious dish. The food of the gods is nothing more than this!

Zhu Yuanzhang added food and vegetables for him with his own hands, and he smiled and kept encouraging.

"Good boy, he can eat and drink, he is strong and strong, and he will be a tiger general in the future!"

Ma Sanbao was stunned, and then said: "I am a tiger general, and I will open thousands of miles for Ming Dynasty!"

"well said!"

Lao Zhu became more and more joyful, what a good boy!

It is worth cultivating!

Reward a chopstick with shredded potatoes!

Everyone had a delicious meal, and even Xia Zhifeng performed beyond her standard, and ate twice as much.

This time, no one doubts whether the potatoes are good or not... But the next question comes again, and they can't just eat them!Empress Ma hasn't tasted it yet, and the prince Zhu Biao, by the way, neither does Jiang Nan. The third and fourth children of the Zhang family can eat, so they should all have a share.

There are also those princes and princesses, important court officials like Sun Yan, honorable military officials like Xu Da... It seems that they should all have a share.

By the way, Zhang Chengtian still plans to eat it every day, can he agree?

The big guy stared at him covetously, salivating.

However, Zhu Xiongying cried, and only harvested so little, for this, for that... how can I save seeds!

Except for Empress Ma and Jiang Nan, no one else can do it, including Zhu Biao, if you want to eat it, wait until next year!

The emperor's grandson was impatient, and Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to agree.

But the problem is the heart of foodie, that can't be stopped.

Zhang Xiang cooks it himself, His Majesty grows it himself, and he is full of praise when he eats it. What kind of dragon liver and phoenix marrow is this?

Can't get it from the emperor, can't we think of other ways?

"Come on, let's go to sea and grab potatoes!"

Who would have thought that mere potatoes would become a reason to go to sea!

8Chapter 17 The medal is here

Indeed, it sounds absurd to go to sea to order potatoes, but these are not ordinary potatoes, they have been certified by His Majesty and Grand Master.

And it is said that it was obtained from the distant Yingzhou.

Yingzhou!

That is an overseas fairy mountain, and it is said that there are longevity fruits growing on it!

Qin Shihuang wanted to find this thing back then, but failed. We did not expect that Da Ming would find it.

Your Majesty is virtuous!

So, isn't our Emperor Hongwu going to live for thousands of years?

Don't you want your majesty to live a few more years?

Dare to look forward to His Majesty's death, it is simply a traitor without a father or a king!

There are all kinds of discussions in the market, and they have everything to say.

Zhang Chengtian expressed that he was emotionally stable, apart from being quite full, there was nothing special about it.Can't live forever, can't ascend to heaven.Am I still an ordinary person!

But Zhang Chengtian soon discovered something strange. A bunch of strange people appeared on the street that used to sell their bodies.

They will pretend to be folks, pull you to chat, and then say that there was something wrong with them, that their family members had a strange disease, and they ate potatoes to eat well.

This thing is a treasure that only the royal family has, and they also spent a lot of money to get it from the eunuchs.

I bought three, ate two, and left one.

How about it, do you need it?

If you need it, I'll transfer it to you cheaply, and don't ask for much money, just three hundred guan!

Zhang Chengtian met three guys who said that in one day.

My God, someone ran to the manor to steal potatoes, right?

He hurried over and found Zhu Xiongying. The little guy was sitting on a rock with an arithmetic set and counting. Behind him was the storage warehouse.

The boy was afraid that the potatoes would be lost, so he looked at them himself.

"Your Highness, how about giving me two potatoes?"

Zhu Xiongying rolled his eyes at him and snorted, "There's no door!"

"Uncle, my father has never eaten it. If you take it away, what should you do if someone impeaches you for trespassing?"

Zhang Chengtian said unconvinced: "Who dares to impeach me? Tell me?"

"It's not easy. The fourth uncle is going to Beijing, and he is going to marry the eldest daughter of the Duke of Wei... Do you think the fourth uncle dares?"

Zhang Chengtian's face turned dark instantly.

If he was to say that the younger generation who still makes him jealous, it is probably Yan Wang Zhu Di.

Some time ago, Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun got engaged, and now it's finally time to officially get married.

Moreover, Zhu Di still rushed forward with the prestige of Lingbei's great victory.

This is destined to be a very grand wedding.

On Lao Zhu's side, Xu Da and his nobles valued him very much.

Zhu Laosi's status will become higher and higher, and he will also get a large piece of Northern Xinjiang when he is entrusted with it.

Zhang Chengtian rolled his eyelids, and suddenly sat next to Zhu Xiongying, the cold stone made him shiver.A child's butt is like a stove. Sitting on it and doing arithmetic problems, he doesn't get sick. Zhu Xiongying's health is much better.

"Your Highness, do you know that Zhu Di, King of Yan, is your fourth uncle. He has more than [-] elite soldiers and generals, and he is ambitious. He is the best at winning over his subordinates and winning people's hearts. Don't worry about him, His Highness the Crown Prince. You may not care too much. But it will be impossible when you are here. When you grow up, you want to take over the Daming country, but when you look around, you can see that they are all trusted soldiers of King Yan. Let me ask you, who is the future Daming? ?”

Zhu Xiongying's eyes widened. At such a young age, it was still a bit difficult for him to understand, "Grandpa Huang said that Ming Dynasty is ruled by the people of Ming Dynasty, and the Son of Heaven is just ruling the country on behalf of the people!"

Zhang Chengtian rolled his eyes, "That's what I said, but with a family of thousands of people and one person in charge, there must be one who has the final say. Your Highness, you should find a way."

Zhu Xiongying didn't know why, so Zhang Chengtian continued: "You should find a few more companions, who can be literate and military, regardless of background, whatever... There is such a group of people who surround His Highness and grow up with His Highness. Da, loyal, Your Highness will not have to be afraid in the future."

Zhu Xiongying still couldn't understand, but he was very interested in finding a few friends, "So, just like Brother Sanbao?"

Zhang Chengtian thought for a while, "Yes, about the same! How about a few more like this, Your Highness?"

Zhu Xiongying thought for a while, and finally couldn't help grinning, clapping his hands non-stop.

"Okay, that's it, let them plant potatoes with me, finally I have helpers!"

Zhu Xiongying was overjoyed, running and jumping.

Only Zhang Chengtian was a little embarrassed... Perhaps starting from Zhu Xiongying, the Ming emperor's style of painting was about to collapse.

No way, when Zhu Biao was young, Zhang Ximeng had to assist Lao Zhu to fight for the world, and there was no system for the education of the princes, so when Zhu Biao was young, most of them were Hanlin Hongru, including several other princes.

But this group of Hanlin officials were too jerk, making Zhu Biao lose his temper and making the other princes ambitious.

Lao Zhu simply dismissed them all at once, and some even sent them to Peiping... Most of the princes and princesses were sent to schools.By the third generation, it can be clearly seen that there are already quite mature strategies for the cultivation of royal descendants.

What does the prince want to learn?

Wen Tao Wu Lue, governing the country and mobilizing the people... This is true, but it is difficult to quantify. Governing the country is too complicated, and it is really difficult to explain clearly. I can only summarize a little bit of sentiment.

Correspondingly, cultivating according to interests has a huge advantage.
