handed over the title deed ticket and the token to leave the palace to Ke'er, Zhu You ordered someone to boil water, and then took a bath happily, which made him feel comfortable.

The messy Mao Palace had been cleaned up, Zhu Youzhen was sitting at the mahogany round table, and Ke'er carefully sandwiched the dishes for him.

After eating two or three dishes, except for a vegetarian dish and a fish, the others were not in line with Zhu Youzhen's taste.

Accustomed to eating a variety of dishes rich in later tastes, the imperial food in the palace is nothing.

Putting down the chopsticks, Ke'er saw it and said intimately: "If these meals are not to the prince's taste, the slave maid will let them be remade." ”

Zhu Youzhen shook his head, "No matter how you do it, the taste won't change." ”

Ke'er thought for a while and said: "There is a small kitchen in the palace, if the prince does not dislike it, the slave can cook for the prince." ”

"Kitchenette?" Zhu Youzhen was happy when he heard this, he liked to cook in his previous life, so he didn't try to cook.

As he spoke, he asked Kerr to take him to the kitchen, and then prepared the dishes he needed, fried and fried them for a while, and made a few delicious meals.

Cao Huachun smelled the smell of the food, and he flowed to the ground, "The prince is seriously ill, and he can actually cook." ”

"This is what I learned when my master was too empty."

Of course, Zhu Youzhen would not say that he made it according to the recipe of his previous life.

picked up the chopsticks and handed them to Cao Huachun and Ke'er, Zhu Youzhen said with some expectation: "You can taste it." ”

"Slaves eat first." Cao Huachun was already eager to try, and when he heard this, he immediately couldn't wait to take a bite, and exclaimed: "The food cooked by the prince is so tasty, the slave can't wait to swallow it with his tongue when he eats it." ”

"Then you swallowed your tongue in your stomach?" Zhu You glanced at Cao Huachun and looked at Ke'er.

Ke'er pursed her lips and smiled, "What Gonggong Cao said is right, it is indeed richer than the taste made by the imperial kitchen, and it is quite delicious." ”

It is always worth being happy that cooking skills are recognized, and Zhu Youzhen also took a bite, but frowned slightly.

"Isn't the prince satisfied?" Kerr asked.

Zhu Youzhen nodded, although these dishes are much richer, compared with the taste in his memory, he always feels that there is something missing.

After thinking about it for a long time, he realized that it was because of the lack of many seasonings in later generations.

Although the Ming Dynasty had oil, salt, sauce and vinegar at this time, and there were many seasoning methods, there were still many deficiencies compared to later generations. Not to mention anything else, MSG and chili peppers alone are indispensable for these dishes made by yourself.

Daming does not have the habit of using chili peppers universally, and the spiciness mainly depends on the spiciness of Sichuan peppercorns. But as we all know, there is a big difference between the spicy and chili peppers, and there is no refreshing feeling after eating.

As for MSG, the chefs of the Ming Dynasty would boil the pieces of ingredients with various large ingredients according to the recipe to increase the flavor, and it could not replace MSG. However, some chefs in Shandong have discovered that sea rice rolls can improve freshness, and sea rice rolls are early MSG. It's just that this is a unique secret book, and the son is not passed on to the disciple, and the daughter-in-law is not passed on to the daughter, so not many people know about it, and the imperial dining room does not have the habit of using sea intestine powder to improve the freshness.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, chili peppers were already popular in Zhejiang, and they should also be found in the capital.

When you go back, you must let people find these two things to satisfy your appetite.

When the sun was high the next morning, Zhu Youzhen woke up.

"What time is it?"

With a big yawn, Zhu Youzhen rubbed his eyes and got up.

Cao Huachun immediately said: "It's just past the hour." ”

In ancient times, it took twelve hours to keep time, and it was about nine o'clock just after the hour.

Hearing that it was already more than nine o'clock, Zhu Youzhen said unhappily: "Didn't you ask you to wake me up early yesterday?" ”

Cao Huachun said angrily: "The slave called the prince just after the midday, and the prince refused to wake up after shouting four or five times in a row." ”

Zhu Youzhen knew that he was lying in bed, and he was a little stupid, and kicked Cao Huachun, "Where are you complaining so much, fetch water for the master to wash his face." ”

Before the words fell, Ke'er had already walked in with the palace maid.

Seeing that the prince was bullying Cao Huachun again, Ke'er smiled, handed over the warm towel and said, "The prince doesn't need to worry, the slave has already notified Wu Baihu, and the prince can set off immediately after packing up." ”

took the towel and wiped his face, Zhu Youzhen said with a smile: "Ke'er is still careful, if I let Cao Huachun serve me, I will be angry with him sooner or later." ”

Kerr took the towel and gave her a toothbrush and tooth powder to clean her teeth.

That's right, it's a toothbrush.

Zhu Youzhen held the gilded handle, and at the other end was a brush with bristles embedded by hand, which was slightly larger than the toothbrushes of later generations.

In fact, the ancient Chinese have always attached great importance to the health of their teeth, and in the Song Dynasty they commonly used tooth tools to clean their teeth, and in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youjiao, the Ming filial piety emperor, invented a toothbrush similar to that of later generations, and the first toothbrush was not available in the West until the 17th century.

Therefore, the toothbrush was actually invented by the Ming Dynasty, and it was invented by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Not only toothbrushes, but also tooth powders prepared with Chinese herbs in ancient times, combined with toothbrushes to prevent dental diseases.

Zhu Youzhen brushed his teeth clean with a toothbrush dipped in some tooth powder, and then put on a blue embroidered moire round-neck robe with the help of Ke'er, put on a pair of soft deerskin boots, and a personable Ming boy appeared.

I have to say that people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, Zhu Youzhen looked at himself in the bronze mirror, and couldn't help but feel a little sassy.

"Ke'er, how am I dressed up, sir?"

The palace maids next to him giggled, Ke'er looked at Zhu Youzhen gently, and said with a red face: "The prince is naturally heroic and extraordinary. ”

Cao Huachun saw that his status as the number one slave was not guaranteed, and hurriedly said: "The prince Yushu is in the wind, graceful, and looks better than Pan An." ”

"With so many idioms early in the morning, you want to take the top prize." Zhu Youzhen was disturbed by the mood of the pickled girl, and said angrily.

Cao Huachun stepped aside with a face full of grievances.

Ke'er carefully put on a belt for Zhu Youzhen and hung up the jade pendant, so that he could be considered neatly dressed.

Zhu Youzhen took Cao Huachun and Ke'er out of the Qinqin Palace, and Wu Xiang had already waited early with more than a dozen brocade guards.

"Humble to His Highness King Xin." Wu Xiang led the brocade guards to salute Zhu Youzhen.

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand and said, "Wu Xiang, it's enough for you to protect you when you leave the palace this time, why do you still bring so many people?" ”

Wu Xiang said respectfully: "When the prince travels, he naturally has to protect himself. ”

This time I went out of the palace to see the scenery of the capital of Daming, and so many people followed it to go shopping.

"You can take the two of you with close protection, and the rest of the people will disperse." Zhu Youzhen said in an unquestionable tone.

Wu Xiang had no choice but to order two Jinyi guards, and then summoned his deputy and whispered, "You take the rest of the people to protect secretly." ”

Everything was properly arranged, and the group first went out of the inner palace through the Donghua Gate, then passed the Dongshang Middle Gate and the Dong'anli Gate in a row, and then went out of the Dong'an Gate after the search, which was considered to be out of the imperial city.

It has been delayed for a lot of time all the way, and it was noon when the group arrived at the East Fourth Archway.
