Chapter 384: Two Fools (I)

Everyone was a little surprised, especially Zhu Xiaobao, who thought about it carefully, as if he had not promoted tofu to Zirui Kingdom, and the ones that could produce tofu were the fiefs of the Southeast County and King Ming, as well as the fiefdoms of King Wen, and these places originally had tofu workshops.

Later, during the war, the nineteenth princess was besieged by King Wen of the Ming Dynasty, and later the seventh princess also took the opportunity to participate, so that the nineteenth princess finally withdrew from Xiyuan City. Zhu Xiaobao was furious, cut off the supply of salt and brine, and those tofu workshops were closed one after another!

But now there is also tofu soup here, which makes everyone very happy, after a long journey for so many days, they all want to eat a bowl of fresh and tender tofu soup!

But when this 'delicious tofu soup' was served, everyone couldn't help but be disappointed when they tasted it, this is not tofu soup at all! It's just that the boiled beans are ground and then mixed with bracken, etc., that is, the bean flour is mushy, which is too far worse than the real tofu soup!

"Boss, isn't your tofu soup authentic? Are you deceiving me that I haven't eaten authentic tofu soup? Zhu Xiaobao barely ate a bowl, and then slapped the table and shouted.

"Huh! This son, forgive me, this is indeed not the kind of tofu soup produced in Southeast County, but it took my shopkeeper a long time to figure it out by himself! But it's also very popular! The shopkeeper hurriedly ran over, but he was very frank and explained with a smile on his face.

"Oh! I mean, so that's what happened! Hehe, okay, go get some coarse salt, I'll show you the real tofu soup! Zhu Xiaobao said a little abruptly, but he couldn't help but want to show his hand in person on a whim!

"Huh? What is Kosher Salt? The shopkeeper asked a little stunned, they only have one kind of salt, how can they divide between coarse salt and refined salt.

"Huh! Xiao Er, my son-in-law likes to laugh, don't mind, go and get busy with you! Duanmuqi said with a smile at this time.

"Oops! Geezer...... Oh no, money steward, what do you mean by that? Zhu Xiaobao said very dissatisfied, they bought a small business house that had closed down before they came to Zirui Country, so now they are all making a public appearance in Zirui Country as this business house, the original owner of this business house is surnamed Qian, so now Zhu Xiaobao is the young master of Qian, and Duanmuqi is the money manager.

"Young master, we came out to find out your background, if it is rumored that authentic tofu soup has appeared in Four Hammer Town in a few days, then many people will immediately think of you, the owner of Luofeng Island!" Duanmuqi whispered, this kind of detail Zhu Xiaobao would not take into account at all.

"Oh! Okay, then barely serve all of your best dishes here! Only then did Zhu Xiaobao realize that when he went out, he still had a lot to learn!

Although it is not comparable to the food in Lingyue Mountain, but after eating dry food for so many days, it is now replaced by fresh dishes, which is barely acceptable, and the taste is so-so.

Duanmuqi seems to be consciously exercising Zhu Xiaobao, and when he arrives in Zirui Country, he basically lets Zhu Xiaobao call the shots, as long as it is not a mistake in principle, he will do it according to Zhu Xiaobao's intentions!

Among the group, Princess Wen, like Zhu Xiaobao, basically never showed up, either staying in the room or in the carriage, and her return this time was also extremely secretive, so she was more cautious than Zhu Xiaobao!

After resting for two days in Four Hammer Town, I once again wanted to drive in the hinterland of the South Zirui Country. The trading house they bought was in the imperial city of Zirui Kingdom, so they were marching in the direction of the imperial city all the way. However, the news of the inquiry along the way made Zhu Xiaobao a little disappointed, and he was still worried in his heart......

"I said, old man, did you already know? Sincerely don't tell me? "Zhu Xiaobao and Duanmuqi are sitting in the same carriage, and now they are the identities of Mr. Qian and Steward Qian, of course, they can't also ride horses like other guards!

"Hey, hey! Know a little, not very detailed! Duanmu Qi smiled a little embarrassedly, in fact, he had already found out some clues, but he was afraid that Zhu Xiaobao would not come to Zirui Country again if he knew about it, so he didn't tell Zhu Xiaobao. On the contrary, it was only when I got here that Zhu Xiaobao inquired clearly.

But these news are really a bit shocking, according to reliable sources, the royal family members of Zirui Kingdom, that is, their princes and princesses, there are actually hundreds of people! But that's not the point, the point is, those princesses are normal, but these princes are very abnormal, most of them have brain problems, short stature, stunted growth, commonly known as two fools! Only a very small probability will be normal, but once it is a normal prince, it is a dragon among people, not only with excellent qualifications, but also very handsome and tall! The reason for this is probably because the power of the bloodline is too strong, and ordinary people can't afford it.

The more Zhu Xiaobao listened, the more furious he became, he seemed to be one of those abnormal ones, could he really be a second fool? So now he understands why Duanmuqi has not told him directly, but has come here to let him check it himself! Dare to love Duanmu Qi has long known it, for fear that Zhu Xiaobao will not be willing to meet Zirui Kingdom if he knows the truth!

"Why the fuck am I so unlucky? It's okay to be sold as a slave, and you have become a fool when you trace back to the source? What do you think I'm coming back for? Isn't it boring to find yourself? Zhu Xiaobao said a little dejectedly, looking at Duanmuqi's eyes were also full of resentment, this old man was determined to embarrass himself!

"No, no, no! How can you be a second fool, what second fool can be as smart as you? That's why I insist that you come back and prove that you are not a fool! Even if it is, it's the smartest second fool! Duanmuqi shook his head and then gave Zhu Xiaobao confidence!

"Get out of the car for me!" When Zhu Xiaobao heard this, he unceremoniously drove Duanmuqi out of the car!

Finally arrived at the Imperial City, the Imperial City of Zirui Kingdom is not inferior to the Great Xia Kingdom, the Imperial City is lively and prosperous, and it is not lively to buy and sell! There are many shops and restaurants along the street. From time to time, there are patrolling officers and soldiers passing by on the streets, and it can be seen that the law and order situation here is still very good.

But Zhu Xiaobao didn't have the heart to visit, as soon as he arrived at the Qian family's shop, he was the first to get in, he was afraid that people would see him and immediately think of the second fool! provoked copper unintentionally, and people covered their mouths and snickered. In fact, Zhu Xiaobao has grown a lot taller in the past three years, but the allusion of the second fool hit him too hard, and he still has to adapt well for a while!

"Humph! Tell me all about it, it's a very ...... situation Complicated, there is a large group of two fools recorded in the palace, which one am I? It is said that there are several two fools who disappear every year! Zhu Xiaobao sat there and said humming. There is also a lot of information about those two fool princes on the table, and the investigation is very detailed, the age, the biological mother, and the degree of stupidity have all been recorded! This is the result of the investigation of the past few days!

"Huh! That's a tricky question! But as long as we sift through the time, the range is much smaller! Now Zirui Country is divided into Southern Zirui Country and Northern Zirui Kingdom, and it was only separated three years ago!

The original emperor was called Yu Qianrou, two years after succeeding to the throne, and the original her uncle Yu Wanfeng had an internal strife, the two sides used millions of soldiers and horses, fought for a month, and then Yu Qianrou retreated to the Zirui country, and Yu Wanfeng occupied the South Zirui country, because there is a thousand zhang canyon between the two places, so Yu Wanfeng failed to attack the past. This is the situation that we are in now! Duanmuqi hurriedly told the situation of Zirui Kingdom in detail.

"Then according to what you mean, which family am I the second fool? Don't tell me it's still from the down-and-out North Zirui Kingdom! Zhu Xiaobao's heart was half cold again, he vaguely remembered that he seemed to have a sister! Could it be Yu Qianrou from the Northern Zirui Kingdom......

"Well, I've already screened it, the second stupid ...... who disappeared three years ago, oh, no...... There are three missing princes, two of them are Yu Wanfeng's sons, and the remaining one is Yu Qianrou's younger brother! "Duanmuqi's work efficiency is very high, and he has already circled Zhu Xiaobao among the three candidates for the second fool!

"This is also a prince, why did you lose three so casually? Don't these princes even have a guard by their side? Zhu Xiaobao asked very unhappily.

"It may be that there are too many fools, even the emperor is upset, one less is one!" Unexpectedly, the old apprentice said very bluntly behind him.

"Hey, hey! Apprentice, come here, come closer! Come closer! Come closer......" Zhu Xiaobao smiled at the old apprentice after hearing this.

"Master...... Why? Why am I a little panicked? The old apprentice cautiously approached little by little and asked.

"I'll hack you to death! You are an unfilial apprentice, and there is one less one! Zhu Xiaobao suddenly pulled out the kitchen knife, shouted, and then jumped up and slashed! The old apprentice who chased him ran around the yard.

"Master, I was wrong, you are not a second fool!" The old apprentice was still begging for mercy while running.

"I'm going to fucking hack you to death today!"

Everyone looked at the pair of masters and apprentices in the courtyard who were chasing and beating fiercely, of course, they also knew that with the old apprentice's martial arts, Zhu Xiaobao couldn't hurt him at all!

But at this moment, a yin voice suddenly came from the courtyard: "I can't think of the dignified Wine and Meat Venerable, and there is such a Yaxing?" It's fun to play with a second fool? ”

Just when everyone was shocked, the old apprentice had already snatched the kitchen knife from Zhu Xiaobao's hand, and flashed it quickly in the direction of the sound......

"When! While! While! While! ……”

With the sound of more than a dozen short battles, everyone didn't even see the figure, and the two had already touched each other more than a dozen times!

"Huh? Can't imagine that this kitchen knife is still a magic weapon? What a pity! ”

Wind Venerable! I can't believe that you dare to come to the door and see that I don't kill you today! ”

"Hehehehehe! Okay, Lao Jiu, let me see if you have made progress over the years! ”

"I cut, I cut, I cut and chop!"
