Chapter 420: The Full Moon Celebrates the Gift (Part 2)
For three consecutive days, not a drop of rain fell in Yingtianfu, and the team responsible for firefighting came out to water it every day.
The palace gives an additional subsidy, 20 wen a day per person, including the non-governmental organizations that help, and at the same time the food is provided by the Xiaqiu Village Box Hotel.
The people would also help fill the water by the river, and the people who had wells in the courtyard would even dig out the water and splash it on the road.
The students of the library took the children out, each with a pump in his hand, and carried the three-character scripture and the thousand-character text while nourishing the water on the road.
Then Zhu Xiongying was full moon, Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son and grandson, and hundreds of officials sent congratulatory gifts.
Some sent their own carved objects, some sent calligraphy and paintings, and some sent blessing poems.
Including the very little princesses, who can't speak, they also have to be sent, they belong to the aunt.
Uncle who is more than one year old or two years old has to give it away, but fortunately, everyone has made money by collecting cicadas and can buy some things.
Deep-fried cicadas are still easy to sell, and those soaked in well water or light salt water from the outside state capital will be fried and sold first after passing the acceptance.
The local ones are made into canned food while they are fresh, and people who are not allergic to proteins such as cicadas can eat them.
After everyone sent the congratulatory gifts, everyone's eyes looked at Xiaqiu Village, it's your turn.
Some ministers even plan to see jokes, what can Xiaqiu Village send?
Don't tell us that you will look down on you when you send binoculars, soap, perfume, sugar, gold, silver, jewelry, etc.
"Right Cheng, Right Cheng, I heard about the congratulatory gift that Xiaqiu Village wants to send." An official found Hu Weiyong and shouted happily.
"Don't shout, we're just curious, nothing else."
Hu Weiyong looked like he was out of the way, but in fact, he hated it so much.
Now the place where food is sold turns out to be his person behind the scenes, Lu Zhidong, the ninth brother in other people's mouths.
As a result, as soon as he caught someone, all of Lu Zhidong's lines were broken, and he didn't dare to show his face at all, and he even took a royal history to enter.
Every time he thought about it, he wanted to destroy Xiaqiu Village, but he could only think about it.
Xiaqiu Village is the prince's Xiaqiu Village, and everyone in Tianfu says so, but it is actually like that.
From the crown princess's pregnancy to confinement, Xiaqiu Village took care of the meals and found someone to chat with.
I heard that when I gave birth, the crown princess did not give birth for a long time, and it was Hanhan, the village keeper of Xiaqiu Village, who yelled outside to give birth to the imperial grandson.
Now the village chief of Xiaqiu and the group of children are surrounded by forty guards from the Prince's Mansion, and there are many more people on a one-to-one basis.
In addition, Hanhan is very capable of fighting, and there is no problem with long range and short range.
Anything that can make Xiaqiu Village uncomfortable is good.
"Say it!" Hu Weiyong suppressed the grievances and anger in his heart, smiled and asked the official who came to report the news.
"Youcheng, Xiaqiu Village said to send a full moon banquet, and I will go there to eat at noon in a while, Your Majesty has promised, we will go together at that time, and we will not work in the afternoon, and we will eat until midnight."
The officials did not dare to ask more questions, and only told what they had learned.
"Full moon feast? Cook? Can they make a fairy feast? The ordinary meal wanted to be a congratulatory gift for the emperor's grandson, but the official was the first to refuse. ”
Hu Weiyong's eyes widened, what are you kidding? You can't give anything to Xiaqiu Village?
If you hadn't taught Guanglu Temple so many meals and knife techniques before, with many dishes, it was really amazing!
But you've already sent it out, all kinds of delicious food, who cares if you make a few new ones?
"Right Cheng, that's what I said." The official looked innocent.
"Excellent! Let's go to a full moon banquet at noon. Hu Weiyong smiled again and spoke to the officials.
Without waiting for noon, Zhu Yuanzhang and the people in the palace came to Xiaqiu Village, especially the children, it has been more than ten days since the last time they came to play.
Being able to go to Xiaqiu Village to play with their friends once every ten years is what they are most looking forward to.
Including Zhu Li, Zhu Di and other princes, they were accompanied by other bright students when they were studying in the main hall, but those people were afraid of them.
People must be respectful when they accompany the reading, and they will not say superfluous words, for fear of causing trouble.
The children of Xiaqiu Village don't care, they just play like everyone else.
Some people take the cable car, some people take the rail car, and Zhu Yuanzhang walks with his legs, and the chief accompanies him.
"It's a long time! Let's tell you, you can't send our good grandson away with one meal, ten or 100 meals.
Music boxes and frogs, as well as toys from the toy store, that is what should be there normally, not a congratulatory gift.
You don't lack money, we don't lack either, you can't get your hands on pearls, agate, jade and other things, right? ”
Zhu Yuanzhang made a request, first seal the things that may be given, don't.
The chief nodded while listening: "Your Majesty, rest assured, it's definitely not those." ”
"Then we'll just wait." Zhu Yuanzhang has actually been trying to think about what kind of full moon gift Xiaqiu Village can give.
He felt that he had enough of this at the moment, what other good things could he have?
In his thoughts, it would be good for a master to be able to give a painting of calligraphy.
The master never painted or inscribed to others, but only wrote and painted something that was needed.
As they spoke, everyone entered the village, and the people of Guanglu Temple connected with the people in the village kitchen to discuss the cooking matters.
The crown princess pushed the cart, found a familiar person, and settled the child first, the baby who had just reached the full moon could not eat.
I just finished changing diapers and feeding before I came out, and now my baby is lying there and sleeping.
Next to the stroller is a bottle of ice and water, which is covered to cool down, but not too close to the baby.
"After a whole month, I finally came out." The crown princess was the happiest.
She spent a month in her room, and even though she had four rooms going back and forth and being able to look out through the window, she still wanted to figure it out.
Fortunately, there are people from Xiaqiu Village who accompany them every day, and the meals they eat are delicious, so they don't seem so uncomfortable.
Zhu Yuanzhang and other people in the palace were placed first, and there were female dependents, so it was impossible to eat with the ministers without barriers.
Except for Queen Ma, who used to be a logistics commander and would be in trouble if she couldn't meet with men.
The officials are coming one after another, and they have to finish their work first, leaving the most depressed on duty.
So today I had a buffet, and everyone went to the place where there was a meal to choose the dishes by themselves.
Self-help places are provided with hearths, charcoal, and smoking, each with a pipe under it, and a large pipe connected to the other side.
On the other side of the big pipe is a high chimney, and the wind automatically draws down from the hearth, and of course, the heat will take away a lot.
You can bake things or cook things, just like Zhu Wentian's induction cooker buffet at that time.
In addition to the ones that need to be processed by themselves, there are also those that have been done by others, and the furnace can be used all the time, and it doesn't matter if the charcoal is removed.
Elsewhere, there are stir-fried vegetables, fried vegetables, cold dishes, and grilled skewers.
There is a menu next to each person, and if you don't want to move, let the palace maid and eunuch pick it up.
"It's the first time I've eaten like this, it's really novel, it's just a congratulatory gift from the emperor's grandson...... Hehe! ”
Hu Weiyong said as he took down a plate of meat from the bamboo tube flowing boat next to him and roasted it on the grate.
