Chapter 40: Popsicles of the Ming Dynasty

The next day, Zhu Cheng reported the list of promotions to the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at it, and there were one hundred and fourteen hundred households on it, as well as two deputy thousand households, namely Feng Menglong and Liu Jingting. The Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled slightly, this Zhu Cheng is just a child after all, and he has promoted the writers and storytellers to thousands of households, don't you know that military command is a highly professional profession? Laymen lead insiders, and there are bound to be problems.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse did not say anything, but just asked Wei Zhongxian to go to the military department after stamping the big seal. Wang Xiangqian, the secretary of the military department, is not a member of the Donglin Party, and he does not like to refute the emperor's decree in order to seek fame. He saw that it was the Emperor of the Apocalypse who personally promoted a hundred Jinyi guards and hundreds of households, and knew that Jinyi Wei was a royal soldier, not only did not make it difficult, but urged his subordinates to do their best to do their best to do a good job of the official documents of the new hundred households and thousands of households, anyway, the emperor had already said that these military attaches were paid by the military in the children's paradise and had nothing to do with the military department.

Three days later, the nine thousand households sent by the emperor to Huangzhuang in western Beijing had arrived and came to the children's paradise to meet Zhu Cheng. As soon as they met, the nine thousand households expressed their attitude that they were only going to Jingxi Huangzhuang to mix qualifications, and would not interfere with Zhu Cheng's training. Zhu Cheng was overjoyed to see them so knowledgeable and interesting, and gave nine thousands of special products from many children's parks, which made them smile.

Feng Menglong and Liu Jingting's official documents have been given to them. Liu Jingting took it out and watched it eight times a day, Feng Menglong was better, he didn't watch it eight times, he just showed off sixteen times in front of Hou Huiqing.

The things were ready, and Zhu Cheng decided to leave for Jingxi Huangzhuang. I haven't been training at Huangzhuang's Jinyi Guard these days, and I don't know what the situation is now. Feng Menglong's body has not fully recovered, but he strongly asks to go to Jingxi Huangzhuang together. Zhu Cheng asked the famous doctor Shi Longyou's opinion and agreed.

The wheels rolled, and the group left the capital and went straight to Jingxi Huangzhuang.

Out of the capital, all the thousands of households felt that the road was extremely bumpy, and they were almost about to shatter their bones. A thousand households lifted the curtain and saw that the road was potholed and a sidewalk. There is an official road next to it, flat and wide, with a layer of wet straw on it.

The thousand households shouted: "Coachman, stop!" ”

The coachman stopped the car, turned around and asked, "Lord Chito, what's the matter?" Jingxi Huangzhuang hasn't arrived yet. ”

Qianhu scolded: "Bastard, this official road next to it is very flat, why don't you go here, you have to take this damn path?" ”

"The Lord of the Thousand Households does not know that this official road was funded by the Jingxi Huangzhuang, and it is said that it is paved with something called cement. When it was first laid, it was like mud, but after a while, it was as hard as a rock. Lord Qianhu came early, if he came three or five days late, he could take the official road, which was fast and stable. But I can't go up now, the official road is full of mud-like things, one press and one seal. As he spoke, the coachman pointed ahead, "Look, Lord Zhu Chengzhu's carriage is also walking on the path." ”

Thousands of households took a look, and sure enough, Zhu Cheng's carriage was also dancing on the road.

Thousands of households couldn't help but secretly slander Zhu Cheng in their hearts that they would not enjoy happiness, and it would be better to take a flat official road a few days later. Even if you don't think about it, you have to think about the carriage, walking on such a bumpy road, the service life of the carriage will be shortened.

After a bumpy hour, I finally came to Jingxi Huangzhuang.

The barracks in Jingxi Huangzhuang have not yet been completed, but the residences of 1,000 households have been renovated. All of you look at your residence, and your heart is warm. They were originally excluded in the Jinyi Guard, otherwise they would not have been assigned to Jingxi Huangzhuang. Seeing this brand-new house and the exquisite furniture in the house, they secretly decided that as long as Zhu Cheng did not have any objections, they would definitely give him the greatest convenience.

Looking at the winter wheat covered with snow in the field, everyone couldn't help but admire: "Ruixue is a good year." ”

Everyone was enjoying the beautiful scenery after the snow, but they saw that someone was busy there, leaving a few lines of footprints on the snow.

Zhu Youzhen said angrily: "Wang Banban, what are you doing, trampling the snow to a mess." ”

Wang Chengen said: "The old slave is instructing the servants to collect ice cubes. ”

It turned out that after Zhu Cheng went to the capital, Wang Chengen instructed his servants to dig a large ice cellar in the imperial village. Although the soil was frozen in winter, and a shovel could only leave a white mark on the soil, there were many people who could not stand the Huangzhuang, and the recruits of the Jinyi Guard quickly dug a huge ice cellar. After the ice cellar was dug, Wang Chengen instructed his servants to collect large ice cubes and prepare them for storage in the ice cellar for use in the summer.

Seeing the natural dirty ice cubes, Zhu Cheng shook his head and said to himself: "What's the use of such dirty ice cubes." If you want to make a popsicle, that thing is comfortable to eat on June days. ”

This sentence seems to have poked a hornet's nest, and everyone heard and discussed, what is this "popsicle"? Ke Qingqing and Zhu Youzhen looked at him with big eyes, and there seemed to be stars emerging from their eyes.

Zhu Cheng couldn't bear the gaze of the two, and said, "Okay, can I do it now?" ”

Zhu Cheng ordered Qian Xiaosaw to make thousands of wooden boxes. Fortunately, Qian Xiaosaw led a carpentry team, and there were many people, and it took half a day to make these wooden boxes. Then I had people cut a few bamboos and cut them into smooth bamboo sticks.

The following things are simple, let Wang Chengen boil water, add honey and milk, pour it into a box, and put it outside to freeze overnight.

At the time of harvesting, Zhu Youzhen and Ke Qingqing were drooling. Zhu Cheng asked Wang Chengen to fold the wooden box and put it in the innermost part of the ice cellar.

Zhu Cheng originally thought that this was the most delicious food in summer, but he didn't expect that someone would actually target it in the cold season.

One day, Zhu Cheng came back from the inspection of the construction site, and now Zhu Youzhen and Ke Qingqing's mouths were red, Zhu Cheng stretched out his hand and touched Ke Qingqing's lips, and asked, "Stealing popsicles?" ”

Ke Qingqing was caught, embarrassed to speak, just laughed mischievously.

Zhu Youzhen said with a smile: "Thousands of popsicles, eat a few that don't matter first." ”

Zhu Cheng couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "The weather is so cold, isn't it uncomfortable to eat popsicles?" ”

Ke Qingqing saw that Zhu Cheng was not angry, so he said: "It's not cold, the room is so hot that I almost sweat." ”

Ke Qingqing is not wrong in what he said, since the road was repaired, it is very convenient to transport coal from the capital to Huangzhuang, and the fuel of Huangzhuang's kang has long been changed to coal. According to Zhu Cheng's requirements, each room in the building of Huangzhuang must be equipped with a fire kang, so the room is as warm as spring.

Zhu Cheng thought of the hot sales of popsicles in the winter and summer in the Northeast in the future, and saw that the two people in front of him, one was 11 years old and the other was 1o years old, both of whom were children, and he couldn't bear to blame him too much, so he said: "Eat less, eat too many popsicles, and your stomach will not be able to stand it." By the way, after you eat the popsicle, where do you put the wooden box and bamboo sticks? ”

Zhu Youzhen pointed to the fire pit, Zhu Cheng's heart was bright, and the wooden box was destroyed by them when they put it into the fire kang and destroyed the corpse.

Zhu Cheng couldn't help but feel a pain in his flesh, it cost a lot to make this wooden box. They were fine, but they were afraid of being scolded by themselves, so they threw themselves into the fire and burned them.

Seeing that Zhu Cheng was about to run away, the two immediately flashed out of the door and rushed away.

The monk couldn't run the temple, and the two were still caught by Zhu Cheng at night, and they were trained not to mention, and they were thrown into the recruit camp for two days of training.

However, seeing the pitiful appearance of the two, Zhu Cheng's heart softened, and he stipulated that they could only eat three popsicles at most every month.

Time has no feet, but it flies, and it is the end of January in a blink of an eye.

Zhu Cheng collected a few carts of vegetables again and returned to Beijing. When I came to Beijing this time, I was in a very relaxed mood, so I brought Cao Huachun and asked him to be responsible for selling vegetables in the capital and making a small profit. Although it is spring, it is still cold in Beijing, and green vegetables are still priceless.

Zhu Youzhen is quite filial and wanted to bring some popsicles to his brother to try, but was stopped by Zhu Cheng. Just kidding, at the time of the wedding, the emperor is the protagonist, in case of eating something bad, wouldn't it be a laughing stock for the ages.

However, the emperor's wedding, he really has nothing to help, the officials of the Ministry of Rites have already arranged it, and he now enters the palace every day, just to chat with Zhu Youxiao.

On February 3, after the emperor's wedding, Zhu Cheng no longer ran to the palace, according to historical records, Zhu Youxiao and the queen Zhang Yan had a very good relationship, so he didn't go to that level of big bulb.

However, at noon on February 4, when Zhu Cheng was having fun with a group of children in the children's playground, a chamberlain came to deliver a message and invited him to the palace.

Zhu Cheng couldn't help but wonder, at this time, Zhu Youxiao didn't fall in love with Zhang Yan, what did he do with himself? He looked carefully at the chamberlain, his face was white and beardless, and he spoke softly, he was indeed a eunuch.

Zhu Cheng followed the eunuch to the palace. There are 9,999 and a half houses in the Forbidden City, with corridors and waists, winding paths, and he has no map, so he naturally can't recognize all the buildings and roads inside. However, he had been to the palace a few times and knew the location of the Qianqing Palace. But this eunuch took him around the world, and he had never walked these roads in the palace before.

Zhu Cheng was framed by the Donglin Party once, and he was alert, stopped moving, and shouted: "Where are you going to take me?" ”

(Zhu Cheng is begging for recommendations and collections again.) There are recommendations and collections, and he is ready to suppress the bandits. )
