On the streets of the capital, Emperor Hongzhi was wandering around very casually, did he come out once, after seeing the cement road, he was not in a hurry to go back, and was ready to take a look at it again in the capital.

With the continuous transportation of sea fish from Tianjin into the capital, and the grain merchants in the capital also followed to sell a penny and a pound of grain, the situation in the entire capital was completely stabilized, and the grain urgently transferred by the imperial court from the south was almost to arrive in the capital, and the famine was basically over.

The food is stable, and the hearts of the people in the entire capital have gradually settled down, and they have slowly returned to a thriving scene.

All kinds of food stalls, flour drops, baked cake stalls, etc., which were not visible at all some time ago, have also reopened, and the streets and alleys of the capital are full of the shouts of these stalls and vendors.

In the past, because of the high cost of food, these various snacks, pastries and the like were naturally impossible to operate, which made the life of many families in the capital who made a living from it very difficult.

Now that the price of grain has dropped significantly, and they can even buy a penny and a pound of grain, these small stalls and vendors naturally want to hurry up and make money.

"Cooking cakes~ Delicious cooking cakes, fresh cooking cakes just baked~"

"Buns, buns, fragrant buns~"

"Steamed buns, fragrant steamed buns~"

Emperor Hongzhi walked on the street, listening to the shouts of the stall vendors, his face was full of smiles, and from time to time he had to go to the stalls and vendors to take a look, and even buy something, while eating, he also walked, without the slightest scruple about his emperor's description.

Emperor Hongzhi's side, Zhu Houzhao is the same, holding two buns in his hands, and a pair of small eyes are looking in all directions, as if he is looking for new food, Yanran is also a small person in the market.

As for Liu Jian, Xie Qian, and Li Dongyang, they are relatively reserved, but they are just accompanying Emperor Hongzhi, and they don't seem to be surprised by Emperor Hongzhi's appearance.

"Wang's steamed dumplings~"

Zhu Houzhao was eating steamed buns in his hand, and when he came to a familiar place, his little eyes immediately locked on a snack stall that he had particularly liked before, and then pulled Emperor Hongzhi's hand, like a greedy child.

"It's been a long time since I've eaten this steamed dumpling, so I miss it."

Emperor Hongzhi also had bright eyes, and Zhu Houzhao came out to taste this folk snack, which was an activity that he and Zhu Houzhao both liked, and it could almost be said that they had eaten all the big and small vendors in the capital, and this Wang's steamed dumplings were the favorite of the two fathers and sons.

"Two steamed dumplings~"

Coming to Wang's steamed dumplings, Emperor Hongzhi said with a smile.

"Okay~ two steamed dumplings, you wait."

Wang, who sells steamed dumplings, immediately became happy and busy when he saw a customer coming to the door.

"Madam, you haven't been out of the stall for a while, I'm very worried, I'm afraid that I won't be able to eat the steamed dumplings you made in the future."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Wang, who had lost a lot of weight, and said with a smile.

"Dissatisfied with the distinguished guests, some time ago the food was expensive, our small stall vendors couldn't afford to run at all, they couldn't even afford to eat, they almost starved to death, two hundred yuan a pound of grain, these profiteers were going to be struck by thunder and thunder, and all the valuable things in the family were pawned, but my little grandson still almost starved to death."

"If it weren't for the current emperor Shengming, who would have sent fish into Beijing, our family would have starved to death."

Speaking of this, Wang burst into tears, this famine really almost killed her, and the grain was too expensive.

The Wang family, in the past, mainly relied on her to sell this steamed dumpling to make a living, this food is expensive, her steamed dumpling business is naturally not able to continue, there is no money-making business, the food here is desperately rising, the family does not have a pound of food to eat every day, almost starved to death.

Hearing Wang's words, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but feel guilty, feeling that he was really not a good emperor.

"You're used to eating this sea fish, aren't you?"

Hongji thought for a moment and asked.

"Habit, habit, this sea fish has few spines, no earthy smell, and is very fresh and sweet, the key is cheap, a penny a pound, this is the life-saving straw for our poor."

Wang nodded again and again.

"That's good, that's good."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and nodded, which made the Wang family on the side confused, not understanding what he meant in his words.

"Your steamed dumplings are ready, a total of five cents."

Soon, the Wang family handed over the two steamed dumplings that had been steamed to Emperor Hongzhi, and Xiao Jing on the side naturally hurriedly took them and handed over five cents at the same time.

"Well, it's still the same taste, it's delicious."

Zhu Houzhao couldn't wait to start eating, muttering while eating, at this moment there is no image of the Ming Prince at all, in this regard, Emperor Hongzhi on the side also smiled and touched his head, he actually enjoyed this time very much.

In such a time, he is no longer the emperor, Zhu Houzhao is not the prince, the two of them are just a simple father and son, the son is greedy, the father is loving, he can eat whatever he wants, there are not so many rules in the palace, he is free and free, and he enjoys this short good time without restraint.

"Wow~ There is grilled saury, this is definitely not to be missed."

Zhu Houzhao's little eyes kept looking around, and soon he hurriedly walked towards a barbecue stall again, this barbecue stall was different from the barbecue stall of roast mutton in the past, it turned out to be a barbecue stall based on seafood.

"Boss, you have a lot of goods, saury, snails, squid, crabs, big yellow croaker, ......"

Zhu Hou took care of the goods on the stall, and read them out one by one like a few treasures, when these things were in Tianjin, he didn't eat them with Liu Jin, and he still can't forget them.

"Guest officer, you really know the goods, I didn't expect you to know all these seafood goods from me."

The owner of the barbecue stall is very young, only in his twenties, with a slight Tianjin accent, he gave Zhu Houzhao a thumbs up, but he didn't expect that there are people in the capital who can know these seafood.

"Of course I know, I also know how to get these seafood to be delicious, a few saury, put more cumin, this squid also come, and this conch, you have chopped green onions and garlic, put some, this big yellow croaker should be charred a little......"

Zhu Houzhao was slightly proud, and then began to order, everything was the first thing to say, so that the owner of the barbecue stall also nodded again and again, and secretly met a guest who knew the goods.

"Boss, there haven't been any baked things in the capital before, why did you think about doing this business?"

Here, Emperor Hongzhi, Liu Jian, Xie Qian, Li Dongyang and others also walked over slowly, and Emperor Hongzhi looked at the various seafood displayed in the stall and asked with a smile.

"Dissatisfied with the guests, I am from Tianjin, because there are a lot of seafood in Tianjin, I can't finish eating, so we are slowly studying a variety of ways to eat, this barbecue is now the most popular way to eat, it is said that it is still Liu Jin Liu Gongzi passed out, and now it has become popular in Tianjin."

"Here in Tianjin, everyone has become accustomed to eating supper and barbecue after night classes at night, so I thought if I could come to Beijing to open a seafood barbecue stall."

The boss replied while constantly busy.

"Yes~"

"Is business okay?"

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately smiled happily.

"Thanks to the blessings of the saints today, the business is not bad, do you want to try it, this seafood barbecue is definitely a rare delicacy, especially this grilled snail, the taste is a must."

Speaking of this, the boss's face showed a smile, this grilled seafood is very fresh in the capital, plus his craftsmanship is really good, the seafood is fresh seafood transported from Tianjin, and the capital is a place where rich people gather, this business is still very good.

"Okay, let's have a few then."

Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jian, Xie Qian and others around him looked at each other and said with a smile.

"Okay, you sit down first, wait a while, and you'll be fine soon."

When the boss heard this, he immediately became happy and busy.

Everyone didn't wait too long, a piece of grilled seafood was served, Zhu Houzhao was like gluttony, and began to eat big, gulp, while eating, he shook his head slightly: "Compared with Lao Liu's craftsmanship, there is still a lot of garlic in this snail, and this squid is too old......

As for Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jian and others on the side, they were much more reserved, and while tasting this grilled seafood, they also nodded slightly, this taste is indeed good, very delicious, and it is a brand new delicacy.

After eating the food, Zhu Houzhao silently wrote down the location of this stall, and everyone continued to stroll around the streets of the capital, shopping, shopping, and soon came to the grain store.

"I heard that these grain merchants now sell grain for a penny and a catty, but I don't know if it's true or not."

Emperor Hongzhi naturally knows very well about the size of the capital, and he also knows the news of the price reduction of grain, and now that he has come to the grain store, he naturally wants to go and see in person to see if it is a penny or a catty, and whether the grain sold is good or bad.
