"First chop the pepper and bake it, I don't know if it's baked, just put some oil in the pot, pour the pepper into it, and stir-fry it slowly until the moisture in the pepper is dry and serve it. Pour rapeseed oil into the pot, heat it, stop the fire, wait for the oil temperature to cool down slightly, when it is hot, pour the chopped pepper into it, if you like hemp, you can also put some peppercorns. ”

The chef in charge of the big kitchen bowed down in front of Zhu Gaoxian and listened to him say that he was doing red oil.

Hot pot is very early, the Song Dynasty scholars advocate game, eat hare wind is particularly popular, then invented a traditional dish called "Paxia offering", in fact, it is rabbit meat hot pot.

However, Zhu Gaoxian made people create a mandarin duck pot like Haidilao in later generations, a boxy box, divided into four grids, and a hole was dug out in the middle of a round table, and the mandarin duck pot was put on it, and a coal stove was placed underneath, and the bottom of the red oil pot or the bottom of the soup pot was boiled out like this.

Zhu Gaoxian also taught the masters to make all kinds of sauces, one of which was particularly good pork sauce, and then the mountain sauce, which was also delicious.

On the day of the winter solstice, Zhu Di first accepted the visit of the cabinet ministers and court deacons in the Huagai Palace, and then went to the Fengtian Hall to receive the congratulations of the hundred officials.

Zhu Di invited all the ministers to the table, the hot pot was already burning, puffing and steaming, the red oil in the pot was tumbling, emitting bursts of aroma that stimulated saliva secretion, in this cold winter day, people were all hot.

"The Fourth Prince made it, right? There's chili peppers in here, good stuff! Zhu Neng said with a big grin.

Zhu Gaoxian walked beside Zhu Di, and he smiled, "Cheng Guogong, do you remember the chili banquet back then?" ”

"Remember, of course remember, yesterday the emperor gave the chili pepper to the minister, and the minister took it back to his wife and asked her to cook a few plates of chili vegetables for the minister, she said that since she likes to eat this thing, she should keep it for seed."

Zhu Gaoxian laughed, "Keep the seeds in it for seeding, the peppers can still be eaten." ”

Next to him, Zhang Yu also smiled, "The minister has divided a lot of sweet potatoes, and it is a little boring to eat just steamed, I wonder if His Royal Highness has any other cooking methods?" ”

"Steaming sweet potatoes, peeling off the skin, mixing in flour, and putting them in a frying pan is also delicious in the world!" Zhu Gaoxian said, "There is another method, let everyone taste it for a while, steamed pork, with sweet potatoes underneath." ”

"Howler!" Zhu Neng took the lead and agreed, all the courtiers came over to make fun of Zhu Gaoxian, you say a word, I will say a word, and some even plead for their children, can they go to the Ming Imperial Academy.

Zhu Di was squeezed aside, but Zhu Di was different, he sat on the dragon chair, looking at his youngest son with a smile, surrounded by the military generals of Wenchen and the generals, everyone wanted to talk to him, and he was overwhelmed.

Zhu Gaochi looked at it and felt really bad in his heart, he looked at Zhu Di, and saw that Zhu Di did not look angry at all, but was very proud.

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but think of Emperor Taizu Gao and Prince Yiwen, back then, Emperor Taizu Gao spoiled Prince Yiwen like this, leaving all the good courtiers and the courtiers he liked to the East Palace to be the team of the East Palace.

Right now, his father is also like this, Guo Zi and Jin Zhong at the time of the submersion, until now, are doing things for Zhu Gaoxian in Beijing, Xia Yuanji is about to save his fourth brother every day, but whenever there is something, his father will let Xia Yuanji find the fourth brother.

Xia Yuanji is in charge of the household department, Daming's money bag.

Could it be that his father plans to abolish the ancestral system and make Zhu Gaoxian the crown prince? Even if it's not, his father spoils the fourth brother like this, the courtiers are all grass on the wall, everyone falls to the fourth brother, the days go by, the fourth brother is full-fledged, even if he is made the prince in the future, he will not be able to sit firmly in the position of the prince.

You must know that his old Zhu family started by rebellion.

Zhu Gaochi felt that he had to find something to do, otherwise, the courtiers would probably forget about him, the eldest son of the emperor.

At this moment, a chamberlain rolled in, and shouted in a sharp voice, "Your Majesty, something happened to Prince Yiwen's mausoleum." ”

The entire hall was silent, and Zhu Gaoxian didn't wait for Zhu Di to speak, so he asked, "What's wrong, don't worry, say it slowly, as long as the sky doesn't fall, it's not a big deal!" ”

The chamberlain breathed a sigh of relief and raised his eyes to look at Zhu Gaoxian, "Yes, it's Princess Yiwen's palace that is on fire!" ”

Zhu Gaoxian gasped and asked, "What about people?" Have you been rescued? ”

The chamberlain lowered his head, "Back to His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, all the people inside are dead, it was Princess Yiwen who ordered someone to close the front and rear palace doors and light a fire, no, no, no one was rescued." ”

Zhu Gaoxian was stunned for a while, and sneered, "Presumably, Princess Yiwen must have said something, I want the world to think that it is my father, or who are we, I can't tolerate her, I want her life!" ”

Zhu Gaochi breathed a sigh of relief, he secretly glanced at his father, seeing that his father's face was very unsightly, he felt more and more relaxed, the name of Hengzhi would not be carried by him, the fourth brother was still too tender, it was originally a matter of melon fields and plums, as soon as he said this, there was no silver three hundred taels here, how could people not be suspicious?

"Fourth Highness, it's a minister!" Zhu Yunxi walked out and knelt in front of Zhu Gaoxian, "It was the minister who set the fire!" ”

Zhu Gaoxian looked at Zhu Yunxi who was kneeling on the ground, he looked up at himself, his eyes were calm and silent, but he seemed to be telling something, Zhu Gaoxian didn't believe that Zhu Yunxi set the fire, and asked, "You said it was you, when and who did you look for to set the fire?" ”

"Minister...... Last night, I went to look for ...... The grandmother beside the Lu family asked her to help set fire to the Lu family. Zhu Yunxi stammered.

As soon as he said this, some people in the temple knew that what he said was purely a lie, how could he do something himself, take the initiative to stand up, and say it so unfavorably, and no one forced him.

"Okay, I got it!" Zhu Gaoxian said to Huang Yan, "You let King Guangze take him down, he said that he set the fire, and he will definitely let the three divisions be tried and convicted again!" ”

Zhu Gaochi said to Zhu Di on the side, "Dad, how can the fourth brother make the decision in this matter?" ”

"The process is such a process, your fourth brother helped Dad say it, and it also saves Dad from bothering to speak." Zhu Di seemed to remember the son in front of him, and said, "Something happened to your uncle's mausoleum, and it's this moment again, so you can go and see how the situation is there." ”

Saying that, Zhu Di added, "This matter should have been a visit by my father himself." ”

Zhu Gaochi understood, he was going in person instead of his father, and said busily, "Dad, where can you go away at this time, or your son should go." ”

Zhu Gao went in a hurry.

The courtiers saw that Zhu Gaochi personally went to deal with the affairs of the prince's mausoleum, and this matter had nothing to do with them, at the invitation of Zhu Gaoxian, everyone was seated, Zhu Gaoxian held the wine glass, and said with a smile, "The winter solstice feast, every year, at this time of year, the cold is unbearable, as soon as the food comes up, it will be cold, this year, I told my father, everyone has worked hard for a year, and it can't be said that the banquet is given every year, just make a show, the person who invited the guest is invited, and the person who came to the banquet has nothing to do with the guest." ”

When he said this, everyone laughed.

The soup base of the hot pot is still rolling, next to it are all kinds of side dishes, according to Zhu Gaoxian's requirements, there are thousands of sheets, kelp seedlings, a rare dish of green vegetables, thinly cut sweet potato chips, quail eggs, bean sprouts, and then a thin shaved snowflake mutton, as thin as a piece of paper rabbit meat, although the variety is not as good as that of later generations, but the portion is full.

At this time, the cow is still an animal protected by the imperial court, and it can't be eaten casually, Zhu Gaoxian only regretted the cow shutters, otherwise it would be really delicious to use it in the hot pot.

"This year, everyone will eat hot pot and eat hot pot lively, and in the coming year, my Daming will be as prosperous and thriving as in front of me!"

"Good!" Zhu Neng cheered in a timely manner, he picked up his wine glass, "Fourth prince, I toast you, this hot pot, to be honest, I have eaten it before, it is not so delicious, not so exquisite." ”

"Put the sauce, minced garlic, sesame paste, and bean curd on a plate, stir well, and dip the slices of meat in the sauce and eat!" Zhu Gaoxian pointed and said to Zhu Neng, "Old Zhu, you can't bully me and I won't drink!" Why don't you drink with my dad and see if you can drink my dad down? Or drink with my second brother! ”

Zhu Neng glanced at Zhu Di, and saw that Zhu Di's eyes were gloomy, and he was extremely clever, "Fourth Highness, I said that I would give you a cup, I will drink it full, you are free, how about it?" ”

All the courtiers laughed, the atmosphere in the hall changed from the solemnity of previous years, after the atmosphere was opened, they all drank happily, plates of meat and vegetables came up, and there were freshly fried spicy chicken, large pots of boiled fish, and there was drooling red oil floating on it.

The last thing that came up was a pot of tamales, with sweet potatoes as the base, and the tamales were made of good pork belly, and the aroma of the meat was pervasive, and before they were eaten, they made people feel satisfied.

The atmosphere is exceptionally good, from time to time someone comes up to give Zhu Di wine, Zhu Gaoxian is sitting at his father's table, he is growing his body, and it tastes a little deadly.

"Fourth, you say, why is the Lu family dying at this time?" Zhu Di still can't pass this level in his heart, he has done well enough, if someone makes a fuss about this matter and buckles the basin on his head, wouldn't it be wronged?

Zhu Gaoxian didn't take it seriously, "Dad, you didn't do it, no one can frame this on your head, the tiger poison does not eat children, she would rather give up the lives of her own son and grandson in order to frame her father, this kind of poisonous woman, why should my father be like her?" “

Zhu Di was comforted by his son like this, and his mood was much better, so he sandwiched a piece of meat into Zhu Gaoxian's bowl, "You eat more!" ”

Seeing this scene, Zhu Gaosui's heart was like a knife, they were all his father's sons, one was eating at his father's table, and he and the second child were going to toast the ministers with wine glasses.

Zhu Gaosui glanced at Zhu Youjiao, Zhu Youjiao stood up and said upward, "Fourth, I toast you!" ”
