Chapter 32: Delicacies
"Ready, please."
Wang Zhi nodded, took Zhu Zi and the two of them, and walked towards the right.
The group walked into a nicely decorated room with a large table with dishes on top and steaming hot.
"Sit down."
"Let you taste the deliciousness of our Qiongzhou."
Zhu Zi moved the chair out and motioned for Zhu Di to sit down.
Zhu Di was not polite, sat down directly, and picked up the chopsticks on the table.
"Oh? And fish? You kid is bold, your father has ordered the sea to be banned, and you dare to go into the sea to fish. ”
"What is this thing, it tastes so familiar?"
As soon as he sat down, Zhu Di asked about a fragrance, and he was a little surprised when he saw the dishes on the table.
There are only a few dishes in total, which is not much, but none of them look very delicious.
Especially fish, he hasn't eaten it for a long time, and since his father's order, fish has become very scarce, and ordinary people can't eat it at all, let alone the Beiping military camp.
"This is a potato, called sour and spicy shredded potatoes, try it."
"Father's ban on the sea is just to defend against the pirates, and we don't have anything to do with the pirates, so naturally we don't have to worry."
"Qiongzhou is surrounded by the sea on all sides, and it is a waste to put such a large sea area, and if you don't fish."
Zhu Zi pointed to the bowl of dishes and said without hesitation.
The rules are dead, people are alive, besides, Qiongzhou is not inland, there are few people who come on weekdays, even if they fish, no one will know.
"You kid, you're still so unruly."
As Zhu Di spoke, he stretched out his chopsticks and stretched out to the bowl of sour and hot shredded potatoes.
took a bite and entered his mouth, and in the next second, Zhu Di's eyes widened, and his expression changed dramatically.
He didn't say anything, but took a few more bites, and his face was extremely enjoyable.
"It's delicious! Potatoes can be made so delicious! ”
"When did Qiongzhou have such a chef who could make unpretentious potatoes so delicious."
Zhu Di said excitedly, directly put the bowl of hot and sour shredded potatoes in front of him, and ate it vigorously.
This is the best potato he has ever eaten, and he can't eat potatoes in the palace, in the eyes of the royal family, potatoes are the food of the people, and he won't touch them at all, but he is in the barracks, and it is still very common to eat potatoes.
It's just that the potatoes eaten there are all hard and hard to eat.
But the potatoes in Qiongzhou are completely different, not only the color and fragrance are huge, but also very delicious, better than many foods he has eaten, as the king of Yan, will he eat less? It is enough to see how highly he rated this bowl of sour and hot shredded potatoes.
"This is researched by His Highness and taught the chef how to do it."
Wang Zhi, who was on the side, explained.
At the beginning, his reaction was even more exaggerated, he had never eaten such a delicious meal, and he didn't stop until he vomited.
"What? Did you research it? ”
"You kid hid it, why didn't you take it out earlier?"
"With such deliciousness, I finally don't have to eat that dry food in the barracks."
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Zi with a shocked face, and couldn't believe that this was also done by Zhu Zi.
But after thinking about it carefully, Zhu Zi likes to tinker with these strange things, maybe it was really Zhu Zi who made it out, he dared to conclude that this was not the original way to eat in Qiongzhou, there were sour and hot potato shreds before, so delicious, it had long been spread throughout the Ming Dynasty, and he would not have eaten it.
"Now the main food source in Qiongzhou is only potatoes, and if you eat dried potatoes, the taste is too bad, so I spent some time and researched it, and it was not in vain."
"Eat more, go back to Beiping, but there is no such good food."
"Forget it, in this case, I'll find you a chef and bring it to you, Wang Zhi, go to the back kitchen and find a chef with good ability."
Zhu Zi thought about it, and sent it over directly, which was the most direct.
After all, Zhu Di is no one else, a chef is not a big deal, these chefs have undergone his professional training, and they can all fry good dishes, let him follow Zhu Di to Beiping, Zhu Di will not have to worry about eating.
"Chef? What is that? ”
Zhu Di raised his head suspiciously and looked at Zhu Zi.
This word, he had never heard before, was saying something.
"It's the person who makes these delicacies for you, who is called a chef in Qiongzhou, and I'm afraid that you will have to eat a hard meal, so I specially asked you to bring a chef back, which is intimate enough."
Zhu Zi patiently explained, this word is a bit out of time, if you don't explain it, you can't understand the meaning at all, even those chefs in the back kitchen are used to it after a long time.
"That's a good feeling."
"It's you, or do you know me, let's say, what kind of medicine is sold in your kid's gourd, and you asked me to take the soldiers away, and you asked me to take the chef away, what do you want to do?"
"Don't say I didn't remind you, you can't do something dead, even if it's me and my eldest brother, we may not be able to keep you."
Zhu Di's attitude changed quickly, and almost instantly, he stared at Zhu Zi with a serious face.
With his understanding of Zhu Zi, he will definitely ask for something, since he is looking for him, it is not easy to designate, otherwise he will not find him.
"Hehe, it's still the eldest brother who understands me."
"Here's the thing......"
Zhu Zi smiled and briefly recounted the matter of Chen Mingkun and Chen Zuyi.
It's good not to say it, as soon as Zhu Di's eyes widened, he looked at Zhu Zi dumbfounded, as if he had seen something incredible.
"What did you say!"
"Want to unite with the great pirate Chen Zuyi, who offered a reward of 500,000 taels of silver to his father, to open the Age of Discovery? You are crazy? ”
"My father issued the edict of banning the sea not long ago, and do you know what is the most taboo thing for my father? It's just to prevent the connection between the people of the Ming Dynasty and the Haikou, it's better for you, if you don't shy away from it, forget it, and unite, you really don't want to die! ”
Zhu Di's face changed from surprise to anger.
In his eyes, Zhu Di is just messing around, his father has issued an edict banning the sea, and he is still thinking about what to open the Age of Discovery, and to unite with Chen Zuyi in Dahaikou, isn't this a trouble?
If his father knows, it will be over, even if he and his eldest brother beg for mercy, it will not work.
He can't let Zhu Zi go astray and embark on this road of no return, this road that can be seen at a glance.
"Of course I know, fourth brother, do you know why, will I tell you?"
"Because I believe in you, it is not so easy to start the Age of Discovery, and I want your help."
"Father, don't worry, isn't it Haikou, if I solve it for him, the sea ban will naturally be redundant, and my father will not blame me, and will reward me."
Zhu Zi said confidently, without a little hesitation.
