Zhu Di, who was in high spirits, quickly set a barbecue day, as the so-called sooner rather than later, directly set the day after tomorrow.

Staying for a day is used to invite guests, such as the crown prince Zhu Biao, who is also his eldest brother, and he can't avoid having a banquet.

Soon it was time to hold a banquet, and Zhu Di took He Qiu to the imperial village outside the city early to prepare.

There are a lot of people here, and why do you want to say it yourself, it is more comfortable to eat barbecue or in the open air, Zhu Di wondered, isn't that equivalent to not being able to show it in the palace?

As soon as the thigh was patted, it was put in the Huangzhuang outside the city, the place is big, and it is not easier to be talked about than in the palace, so it is placed on the Zhuangzi in a fair and honest manner, and his father also knows the situation and will not think blindly.

When he arrived at Zhuangzi, He Qiu waved his hand, put the barbecue grill prepared in advance in the courtyard, and placed a few copper hot pots on the side, and the ingredients such as mutton and beef and some seasonal fresh food began to be prepared by the chefs of the palace.

The cooks of Yanwang's Mansion in the capital were teary-eyed, and finally there was a place for us, these days I have watched Zhu Di eat the dishes made by He Qiu, for fear that one of them will be opened by Zhu Di by accident.

One by one, they happily prepared the ingredients, cut some meat rolls and stomachs, which was not a problem for a chef like them.

He Qiu looked at the scene, and always felt that something was missing, and when he raised his eyes, it was not something missing.

On such a hot day, eating barbecue hot pot in the yard, it was not hot, and he hurriedly asked Zhu Di's subordinates to set up a curtain on the courtyard to shade and enjoy the coolness.

Barbecue and beer go best together, so He Qiu has already ordered to go down, put the three barrels of beer he took out and put them cold, and after doing this, He Qiu suddenly found the fun of playing BBQ with his classmates in college.

Zhu Di begged for a while, drank iced sour plum soup happily on the side, watched He Qiu finish his work, and said to him with a smile: "Mr. really has the demeanor of a general, these are arranged in an orderly manner, Xiao Wang admires." ”

He Qiu glared at him angrily, and said with disgust: "If you don't shame me, I'm ashamed, this kind of trivial matter is not arranged properly by the princess on weekdays, you don't need to please me like this, you will definitely not be missing a bite to eat." ”

It was almost noon, and Ma He walked in quickly and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down." ”

Zhu Di got up from the chair and pulled He Qiu to greet the crown prince Zhu Biao.

When he arrived at the gate of the manor, He Qiu found that the prince was not from his own family, and he was accompanied by many officials of the East Palace, and the sons of the nobles of the regular lineage, as well as several other young princes who had not yet taken up the domain.

A large group of people is also mighty, He Qiu followed Zhu Di to meet the prince and his party, just introducing people back and forth made him dizzy, and the last person didn't remember it.

It's a waste of time.

followed the lively and lively to the big courtyard, Zhu Di and Zhu Biao watched He Qiu give orders with great interest.

The cook who commanded the palace began to roast the meat, and the first portion of the roast was brought to them.

Zhu Biao saw that the color and flavor were complete, and he took a bite of the mutton skewers, which tasted too delicious compared to what he usually ate in the palace.

couldn't help but praise Zhu Di: "The things made by this Mr. He Qiu are really delicious." ”

Zhu Di's heart moved, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also knows that the things he makes are delicious?" ”

"I've heard my father mention it."

He Qiu heard this conversation on the side, and began to complain in his heart about Zhu Yuanzhang, a listening monster, even the trivial things like I like to cook and cook deliciously have been investigated, this person is really terrible.

Zhu Biao turned to ask He Qiu: "Mr. He, what is this pot you put next to us for, is it also used for cooking?" ”

He Qiu pointed to the sauce prepared by their side: "Hot pot evolved from the food of the Bashu generation of dock laborers. ”

"I'll know if I try it later, there are mutton and beef, remember to dip the sauce when you eat them."

Zhu Biao was still a little hesitant, but Zhu Di was not polite, so he tried it first.

Picked up a string of mutton rolls, threw them into the hot pot, watched the meat rolls tumble, and his throat subconsciously slid twice.

didn't wait for a while, the meat roll was cooked, and there was no need for He Qiu to remind him, so Zhu Di took it out by himself and dipped it in some sauce and ate it.

After this mouthful, he hissed when it was hot, but there was a satisfied look on his face.

Although some people in later generations said that hot pot sprouted in Mengyuan and flourished in the Ming and Qing dynasties, He Qiu didn't want to be like this from the reactions of the two princes in front of him.

However, He Qiu forgot one thing, this is the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, besides, ordinary people don't have such a good soup base and dipping sauce as him, and the current hot pot is not so delicious, and how many people dare to put something undelicious in front of the prince of the Ming Dynasty?

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Di's eating appearance, and his appetite was also aroused, he threw off his arms and ate it, and the hot pot barbecue conquered the most stable prince in history.

He Qiu looked at the situation in the courtyard, and the big guys began to eat, so he motioned to the maids to bring up the beer that had been chilled in advance.

"Hiccup." Zhu Di drank a glass of beer in one gulp and burped.

"It's comfortable, it's so comfortable to eat this hot pot and barbecue, and then take Mr.'s cold beer."

"I've never had such a good meal in the summer before!"

Zhu Biao didn't speak, but his face was red, and he didn't know if it was hot, or because his fourth brother's virtue was a little too shameful.

He Qiu didn't reply, and while Zhu Di's livestock was relaxed, he had already begun to grab vegetables. Otherwise, by the end of the day, he probably won't have enough to eat.

After eating and drinking, after drinking and eating.

Zhu Di wiped his mouth, wiped his hands clean, and patted He Qiu's shoulder: "Sir, do you see if you will come to the hot pot to eat a few more times later, this barbecue is a little troublesome, and it is not refreshing enough." ”

"Hot pot is to throw whatever you want to eat into the pot, and it tastes the most enjoyable."

There are three words in that little eye, and I still want to eat.

He Qiu replied lazily, "After this time, your chef should know how to do it, and let them make it for you in the future, but be careful of getting angry." ”

Before Zhu Di was happy, Zhu Biao, the prince on the side, said embarrassedly: "Fourth brother, do you think this cook should leave a few for the palace?" My father hasn't eaten anything so delicious. ”

Zhu Di opened his mouth and said depressedly, "No, then give two to the palace, oh no, three." ”

looked at Zhu Biao's expression, and wailed: "No more, no matter how many cooks my family has, there are not enough." ”

Zhu Biao nodded with satisfaction, the little brother is still very sensible.

Zhu Biao sent his subordinates away first, but he stayed here, it seemed that he had something to say, and the other guests also understood it very well, so they all found a reason to leave.
