Zhu Ao, like Lao Zhu, likes to be a harmonious family and harmonious, seeing the two concubines so happy and submissive, his heart is also very happy, and he hurriedly helped the two of them, and said with a smile: "The two concubines please hurry up." Mrs. Fengxian also came. ”

Lan Youcheng slowly stood up, took two steps forward, his posture was very light, and smiled at Zhu Ao: "Lord Qiyu, when Sister Yinhe went to the palace of the concubine, the concubine's mother happened to be there, and the concubine brought her. I hope that the prince and queen will not be surprised. ”

Zhu Ao grabbed Lan Youcheng's soft little hand, and said with a smile: "What did Concubine Ai say?" This king invites everyone to eat hot pot, which is a lively picture, how can there be too many people? Besides, Mrs. Fengxian is not an outsider. ”

Li Anyi didn't speak, smiled sweetly at Zhu Ao, and nodded slightly.

The next thing is the busy time, because Zhu Ao wants to have a complete family banquet, so this meal does not use any subordinates, it is completely their own.

Zhu Ao put a stove on the table, and then put a special shabu-shabu pot full of water on it, although he didn't know why the hot pot was designed to look like it was high in the middle, but he didn't bother to study it, as long as he could eat it well.

Dai Yuzhu, Tingwei, and Yinhe are all from maids, and they all know some cooking, after all, Dai Yuzhu is already a princess, and it is not good to do some low-level things, but she is responsible for conditioning the sauce.

The main ingredient of hot pot dipping sauce is sesame sauce, and the so-called sesame sauce is actually sesame paste, which is made by grinding sesame seeds. Dai Yuzhu first put the thick tahini paste into a large bowl, and then add water little by little, and immediately stir it with chopsticks for each little bit of water, and then continue to add water. Until the tahini is stirred into a moderately viscous paste, then add the appropriate salt.

Tingwei is in charge of cutting meat, her knife skills are good, whether it is mutton or pork, she cuts it just right, even if she puts it in a big hotel in the future, she will not be inferior to others.

In fact, Zhu Ao also likes to be shabu beef, but the Ming Dynasty strictly forbade the slaughter of cultivated cattle, and the cattle at home are sick, and they must be reported to the government before they can be killed, otherwise it is an illegal act.

As a prince, it is not impossible for Zhu Ao to quietly engage in special things in some aspects, but now that the Su State has just been established, the foundation is not particularly strong, Zhu Ao does not want to leave a luxurious impression on others, he wants to cherish his people's power.

As for the rest of the rough work, washing the vegetables, she is naturally done by Yinhe, and she doesn't do such a thing once or twice, and she is very handy in taking care of it, so she doesn't need others to bother more.

Even the most troublesome seasoning problem has been solved, and Zhu Ao should be grateful to Lan Youcheng for this. Although Lan Youcheng didn't know how to do it herself, she brought a master, and this person was her mother.

Li Anyi has liked to fiddle with some wine, food and tea since he was a child, and after marrying Lan Yu, he was snubbed, so he put his main thoughts on how to make his daughter eat better.

The previous haggis soup has allowed Zhu Ao to learn her skills, and now she has taken the initiative to take on the responsibility of making hot pot bases, which makes Zhu Ao even more excited, and it seems that her foodie career has also fallen.

Due to material limitations, the hot pot base made by Li Anyi is also relatively simple, and the main ingredients are soybean oil, salt, star anise, Sichuan pepper, green onion, ginger, garlic, hawthorn, cloves, wolfberry, licorice, etc. But these ingredients still burst out with a magical taste under her conditioning and distribution, which made Zhu Ao and the others feast and eat very happily.

In the winter night, surrounded by all the beauties, eating hot pot and singing songs, drinking the small wine scalded by the beauties, what is life, this is life.

The officials of the Ming Dynasty also had vacations, and under normal circumstances, the first month of the year did not work, but the problem was that Zhu Yuanzhang was a very unusual emperor, and he himself was a model worker, so he asked everyone to become a model worker, as if those who were officials had an extra day of rest, and he Boss Zhu suffered a lot of grievances.

Therefore, during the Hongwu period, the officials lived a very hard life, not only with low salaries, high risk factors, but also with pitiful holidays, specifically only three days off a year, which were the Spring Festival, the winter solstice and his birthday Zhu Yuanzhang himself.

In other words, if you are lucky enough to cross over to Zhu Yuanzhang and become a scholar, don't be busy and happy, during the Spring Festival, you have to go to work after the second day of the Lunar New Year, and you don't even have time to go to relatives.

Someone once made a suggestion to Zhu Yuanzhang on the treatment of officials, saying that your old man will make the treatment of officials so low, and no one will come to be an official in the future, who will work for you?

However, Lao Zhu was unmoved, and used a very wise sentence to make the other party speechless: "Will there be a shortage of people who want to be officials in this world?" ”

Based on this sentence, it can be concluded that Zhu Yuanzhang's ability to win the world is not accidental, shrewd, shrewd to the point that his head is about to smoke, if anyone wants to play a little tricky under his nose, it is pure death.

But after all, Zhu Ao is from the later generations, and it is really unacceptable to let him rest for only one day during the New Year, he thinks that the seven days of statutory holidays in the future generations are too few, at least let people pass the fifteenth day of the first month.

However, Zhu Ao was powerless to change the status quo of later generations, and could only seek benefits for the officials of the Ming Dynasty.

This will made countless officials of Suguo grateful to Dade, and they worked hard for a whole year, and finally they could spend a good year with their wives and children.

On the sixteenth day of the first month of the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu, Zhu Ao began his first early dynasty of the new year. After accepting the bowing of the ministers like machines, Zhu Ao said loudly with full spirit: "What do you want to play? ”

Zhang Wenyuan, the secretary of Hu Cao's judgment, stood up for it, made a gesture, and said respectfully: "Shi Yide, the political envoy of Dunhuang, said: Dunhuang is a newly attached county, there are many Hu people, and it is difficult to tame the current army and civilians alone, and I ask His Royal Highness to immigrate 100,000, one can assimilate the Hu people, and the other can be real and guard against Hami. ”

Zhang Wenyuan turned out to be the chief of the palace, Shi Si, who was a minor official of the sixth grade, in charge of the trivial lawsuits in the palace. After the founding of the country, Zhu Ao chose to stay and follow the prince, in order to seek his own development in the country.

Zhu Ao did not treat him badly, and saw that he worked meticulously and handled the lawsuit very fairly, so he gave him the judgment of the second grade household Cao and asked him to take care of the country's finances for himself.

When Zhang Wenyuan received the appointment, he didn't sleep all night, and he was suddenly promoted from a sixth-grade petty official to a second-rank senior official, which is something that has never happened in the past, although his second rank is only the second rank of a feudal country, but this is enough for him and his wife to love each other excitedly for a night.
