Food is the most important thing for people. Since ancient times, everyone from emperors to ordinary people have attached great importance to eating.

Zhu Yuanzhang's famous "four dishes and one soup" is an attitude towards diligence and thrift.

Instead of having only four dishes and one soup for every meal.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang's meals were quite rich.

Breakfast: stir-fried mutton, fried goose, stir-fried pork with yellow vegetables, wormwood in clear juice, steamed pig's trotter, bamboo shoot noodles, fragrant rice, bean soup, and tea.

Lunch: Pepper and vinegar shrimp, roast goose, braised lamb head and feet, goose meat, salty drum mustard lamb tripe plate, garlic vinegar white blood soup, five-flavor steamed chicken, Yuan juice lamb bones, spicy vinegar kidneys, steamed fish, five-flavor steamed noodles, lamb crystal corners, silky goose noodle soup, three-fresh soup, green bean noodles, pepper lamb, fragrant rice, garlic cheese, bean soup, and tea.

As for dinner, it is relatively simple, with just a few dishes.

There were a lot of dishes, and of course Zhu Yuanzhang didn’t eat them all by himself.

During meals, Zhu Yuanzhang usually dealt with government affairs, and the six ministers and other officials present would eat together.

However, it can be seen from the recipe that Zhu Yuanzhang particularly likes to eat meat.

When it comes to food, if you eat too much good food, your appetite will naturally become extremely picky.

When the aroma of breakfast wafted from Zhu Ying Teahouse, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately noticed something different.

"How can it smell so good?"

Looking at the six breakfast items in front of him, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but ask.

These breakfasts are not uncommon.

Steamed buns, meat buns, flatbreads, and steamed dumplings.

There were also spicy hot soup and egg pan-fried dumplings that Zhu Yuanzhang had never seen before.

The aroma mainly comes from the flatbreads, spicy soup, and egg pan-fried buns.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but eat a pan-fried bun first. The unique taste attracted him immediately.

Then the softness of the steamed buns, the juicy meat dumplings, and the delicious spicy soup made Zhu Yuanzhang unable to stop eating.

In ancient times, people were naturally never tired of fine food and delicate cuisine.

However, the preparation of refined food developed relatively well during the Song Dynasty.

Later, the Mongols and Yuan Dynasty emphasized eating meat and drinking wine in big mouthfuls.

By the early Ming Dynasty, the food culture was clearly regressing compared to the Song Dynasty.

Zhu Ying traveled in the Western Regions for many years, and mastered many things that could be used to make seasonings.

Although it has not reached the level of later generations, compared with the current Ming Dynasty, it is basically equivalent to a dimensionality reduction attack.

Of course, Zhu Ying also produced a lot of MSG, a food killer.

If he really opened a restaurant, it would bring about a food revolution throughout the Ming Dynasty.

"I have traveled all over the country for so many years, but I have never tasted anything as delicious as this. It's so delicious!"

It didn't take long before Zhu Yuanzhang finished all the breakfast on the table and drank the last sip of the spicy soup.

Zhu Yuanzhang burped and lay comfortably in the chair.

He finally understood why breakfast was sold out both times he came.

Who can refuse such delicious food?

No matter how delicious the breakfast is, it still depends on who you eat it with.

Looking at the face of his eldest grandson, Zhu Yuanzhang felt extremely emotional.

He never thought that he would be able to see his eldest grandson in his lifetime.

The eldest grandson today is no longer the child in my arms.

His handsome face was very similar to that of Empress Ma.

"You've suffered so much over the years."

In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang still said with emotion.

After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that it was time for him to leave.

He could feel his eldest grandson's wariness, which made him feel a little disappointed, but he was not discouraged.

He firmly believed that the Embroidered Uniform Guard would be able to confirm the identity of his eldest grandson.

If, then it is not possible.

The eldest grandson is still his eldest grandson.

As an emperor, there is no need to prove anything to others.

"If anyone dares to question me, I will send him downstairs to ask the eldest sister."

A gleam of light flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes.

Zhu Ying took the old man downstairs.

In the stairwell, Jiang Li was waiting.

Watching the old man walk away, Zhu Ying didn't say anything more this time.

He really couldn't bear to see an old man feel sad after being happy.

I don't want to rely on the old man to get anything.

…

"Jiang Li, how could our eldest grandson forget about us? It doesn't make sense."

Half an hour later, after passing the Fengtian Gate and walking in the imperial palace, Zhu Yuanzhang could not help but ask Jiang Li.

Jiang Li paused for a moment, then replied, "Your Majesty, it may be that Master Zhu encountered a great change when he was a child."

"When I was in the army, I also saw a comrade like this. He was injured in the head, and when he woke up, no one recognized him, not even himself."

Cases of amnesia also exist among the military.

On the battlefield, things like amnesia due to head injuries are not common, but they do happen.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

He believed that after his eldest grandson was buried, especially on the day when the earth dragon rolled and the stars moved, some unpredictable major changes must have occurred.

Zhu Yuanzhang himself was also superstitious. Perhaps the ancients all had a sense of awe towards gods and ghosts.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Jiang Li: "Liu Rixin, where has he been recently?"

"After so many years of traveling, he should have had enough fun. Summon him to the capital. We have something to ask him."

Jiang Li said: "Mr. Liu's whereabouts are recorded in all places. I will start investigating immediately."

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there was a fortune teller in Fengyang named Liu Rixin, who was nicknamed "Half-Immortal".

The half-immortal Liu Rixin was very famous in the local area. No matter whether they were high-ranking officials or wealthy businessmen, they all liked to ask him to tell fortunes, and his predictions were very accurate. This attracted the attention of Zhu Yuanzhang at that time.

At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang was still competing with Chen Youliang for the throne, and was even at a disadvantage for a time, with an uncertain future. Hearing that Liu Rixin was very accurate in fortune-telling, he asked someone to find Liu Rixin and ask him to read his fortune.

Liu Rixin carefully examined Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance, and calculated from time to time, and soon concluded that "the general will be extremely rich and noble", meaning that he thought Zhu Yuanzhang would become emperor.

Afterwards, he read the fortunes of Zhu Yuanzhang's generals and soldiers, saying that some of them could be granted the title of duke and some could be granted the title of marquis. Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely happy.

Four years after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang found Liu Rixin, wanted to reward him, and asked him to be the director of the Imperial Observatory.

But Liu Rixin didn't want anything. He just wanted to be able to travel freely within the territory of the Ming Dynasty without being restricted by checkpoints.

Zhu Yuanzhang gave him a fan and wrote a poem on it:

"There is an old man in Jiangnan, with stars in his belly. He promised me to be the king, just as the gods promised. He refused the official position and the gold. He held this fan and traveled across the world."

With this as proof, you can travel freely.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid that he would be used by evil people, so he ordered Liu Rixin not to tell fortunes for anyone anymore.

At this moment, he thought of the situation where Dasun rolled over like an earth dragon, and then came back to life after the passage of time.

I just wanted to ask Liu Rixin.

Just after Zhu Yuanzhang gave orders to Jiang Li.

Somewhere in Daming,

Inside the house.

A man's heart was beating fast. He hesitated for a moment and calculated with one hand.

After a long while, his face turned pale, and he murmured, "My life is over!"
