Chapter 486 Hot Pot
The weather in Shangjing, the capital of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, was getting colder day by day.
Princess Ronghua Zhu Huaizhen, who had not been seen for a long time, finally came downstairs.
A regular visitor asked with a smile, "Princess Ronghua, what did you dream about this time?"
"It's not a golden dream." Zhu Huaizhen smiled sweetly, his grape eyes clear and bright.
"Princess Ronghua, tell me about it." There was a new guest who became rich by making a fortune by panning for gold. He was extremely respectful to Zhu Huaizhen.
"My mother called me to treat you to hotpot." Zhu Huaizhen shook his head and laughed.
As soon as the words fell, everyone cheered and thanked Princess Ronghua and Concubine Xue.
Tsk tsk, Princess Ronghua is really rich and powerful.
"I think this is a omen, but I can't figure it out." Zhu Huaizhen sighed helplessly.
I hope there are smart people who can understand this.
So, Zhu Huaizhen instructed Tu Mi that the guests should form teams spontaneously, with ten people at a table, and have free hot pot.
There are nine kinds of base ingredients, namely, mellow butter, spicy duck feet, spicy beef bones, three fresh soup, tomato spare ribs, hot and sour golden soup, pork tripe and chicken soup, sesame oil porridge, and wolfberry mushroom soup.
The ten hot pot dishes include large slices of tripe, crispy tribute vegetables, tender shrimp balls, large-sliced kidney slices, icy goose intestines, crispy tofu, boneless chicken feet, kelp seedlings, yellow cattle throat, and spicy beef.
The guests were thinking seriously while eating hot pot.
"Winter is the best time to eat hotpot. Is this a reminder that the cold winter is coming?" an elderly customer murmured to himself.
"That seems to be the case." A middle-aged guest responded.
Both the elderly and middle-aged guests have experienced the cold winter.
The cold winter in Shangjing would freeze many poor people to death.
The funniest thing is that one winter, the nobles set up tents to distribute porridge, but many people were unwilling to come out and line up to receive it. It was too cold outside, and there were strong winds from time to time that could blow people away.
However, the nobles were not happy, thinking that they were ungrateful, and forced them to come out one by one, where they suffered hunger and cold and complained bitterly.
"That's impossible. Shangjing hasn't experienced a cold winter for a long time. Besides, our Northern Zhou has revised the laws. If we encounter a cold winter, there is no need to set up tents to distribute porridge. The bad guys will distribute charcoal from door to door to help everyone survive the winter." A young guest frowned.
He came to Taoyao Tower just to watch the fun.
However, the opera in Taoyao Tower is really good.
For example, "Peach Blossom Fan" is the best "Peach Blossom Fan" he has ever heard.
Orioles chirp at dawn in the jade trees of Jinling, flowers bloom early in the Qinhuai waterside pavilions. Who knew the ice would melt so easily? I watched him build his red mansion, I watched him entertain guests, and I watched his mansion collapse. Here, amidst the mossy, blue tiles, I once slept in a dreamlike state; I've witnessed fifty years of rise and fall. No one in Wuyi Lane is surnamed Wang, ghosts cry at Mochou Lake, and owls roost on Phoenix Terrace. Dreams of the ruined mountains are the most real, the old land hard to lose. I don't believe this map is changing manuscripts. I'll compose a lament for Jiangnan, and sing it until I grow old.
"After listening to your analysis, I think it makes sense. Let me ask Tu Mi and Qiu Niang to buy bedding, charcoal, and food. If we really encounter a cold winter, you can all come to Taoyao Tower to spend the winter. Those who have money can pay the price, and those who don't can just give a few cents symbolically. If you open the door to do business, you can't just make losses without making any profit." Zhu Huaizhen said with a smile.
The elderly and middle-aged guests were quite moved when they heard this and bowed deeply to Zhu Huaizhen.
However, they didn't care much in the end.
As for the young guests, they don't take it seriously at all.
Let’s not talk about whether this cold winter will happen.
Princess Ronghua possesses the treasure of the Great Zhou, so she is somewhat seeking fame and reputation.
