Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

The bustle at the Hu Mansion continued until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

It’s not that Master Hu intends to align the holiday arrangements of the Hu Mansion with those of the school in his previous life.

It was because during the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, the father and son of the Zhu family came to visit.

Seeing these two men coming uninvited, Mr. Hu and his family were somewhat confused.

Because people arrived in the evening, and the key point is that the Hu family had already started eating at that time.

The family was happily eating and chatting, when Hu Yi came over to report that the father and son of the Zhu family had arrived.

The key point is, before we could clean up and go out to greet them, the man and woman just walked in.

What a coincidence, today is the Lantern Festival, so naturally it’s time for the whole family to get together for a big meal and have some fun.

Therefore, this meal was arranged in the main hall.

It was precisely because of this that the father and son of the Zhu family saw everything clearly not long after they walked in.

Then they felt a little awkward.

Because they originally thought they could get a free meal here, but they already have food here.

However, Old Zhu is not the kind of person who would suffer losses for the sake of face.

Therefore, after only a slight pause in his expression, he smiled and said, "Wow, we came at a good time!"

"Weiyong, we haven't eaten yet!"

"I never thought you guys would start dinner so early!"

"Then you don't mind adding two pairs of bowls and chopsticks for us?"

"No need to add more dishes, we can just eat together!"

Got it!

Lao Deng has said so much, is he really going to let the two of them just sit down, take a set of bowls and chopsticks and start eating?

Not to mention that he is the emperor from time to time, just for the sake of Anqing who is standing next to him, we cannot neglect him like this.

Master Hu waved at Hu Yi, and Hu Yi hurried back to work.

The Zhu family and the Hu family are well-known for being brothers and sisters when it comes to food. When you come here, you don't have to ask about the taste or the dishes.

Anyway, both sides were taught by the same master, so their skills are pretty much the same.

But when Zhu Yuanzhang saw the winter melon and minced meat soup and a plate of stir-fried cabbage, his brows twitched somewhat.

Old Zhu held the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, looked at the dishes on the table, then looked up at Master Hu, then looked at the table again, smacking his lips.

"Weiyong, the dishes here are better than those prepared by our Wentang Prison!"

Mr. Hu nodded calmly.

"There is some knowledge in this!"

"But this year I'm just giving it a try. Next winter I'll be able to sell it in large quantities!"

"Farming and earning money is the most basic duty!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless after hearing what Mr. Hu said.

Make money by farming?

Is that what you mean?

Other families grow grains, but you grow vegetables, and they are out-of-season vegetables.

Even a fool knows that if these green vegetables are sold in the winter, the price will definitely be completely different from that in other seasons.

To say that we are directly planting gold and silver is a bit too much.

But if you say you can make a lot of money, that's for sure.

As long as the price of green vegetables is not outrageous next winter, any wealthy family in Yingtian City would not want to eat a few bites of green vegetables.

Even if the price is right, every household will try it once or twice.

You know, in this winter when there are no green vegetables and meat is too expensive for ordinary people, they really have to live on pickles and sauerkraut.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized that if any of his sons could learn Master Hu's ability to make money, the Zhu family would become completely prosperous.

"Weiyong, I realize that making money has become such an easy thing in your hands."

"How about we take a share in this deal?"

Master Hu looked at Zhu Yuanzhang unhappily and said, "No, Your Majesty, I'll just give you a share of the business of other workshops."

"After all, the competition for that thing is fierce, and you have to bargain with others. It's okay to use the royal signboard so that everyone can make money together."

"But if I grow vegetables on this kind of land and sell them, do I have to argue with others?"

"There can't be anyone on the streets of Yingtian City who dares to come to my house and collect protection fees from a vegetable farmer like me?"

Mr. Hu's joking ridicule made Old Zhu blush on the spot.

Damn, this is a bit like a slap in the face.

Sin!

However, just in time, a new round of dishes came up, and everyone's topic consciously turned to the new dishes.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Lao Zhu is a very pragmatic person when eating. If he comes across something he likes, he will eat a few more bites. If he comes across something he doesn't like, he will just take a taste and stop.

Anyway, the main focus is efficiency.

As for Zhu Biao, it was actually similar.

He was only slightly better than Zhu Yuanzhang. He could still take care of the feelings of the people around him and chat with them for a while.

But after all, they were facing the emperor and the crown prince. Even though Hu Renbin and Princess Anqing were a legitimate prince consort and princess, they were still somewhat restrained in front of these two.

Therefore, the originally lively Lantern Festival family dinner was disrupted by these two men and became somewhat polite and hypocritical.

Mr. Hu had no idea what to do about it.

There’s nothing you can do. Now that they’re here, what can you do to them?

Fortunately, if you are not comfortable, then everyone will be uncomfortable.

Why not, just finish your meal early and have a serious chat.

Look, seeing that Lao Zhu had finished three bowls of rice, Master Hu wiped his mouth and took Lao Zhu away.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was pulled up by Master Hu, he hadn't even put down his hand yet and was completely dazed.

After walking a few steps, he heard Master Hu say that he wanted to take him out for a chat.

He then put another piece of steamed pork with rice flour into his mouth in a bad mood, wiped his mouth, and followed Master Hu with a look of indignation.

The two of them came to the entertainment room where Master Hu usually liked to stay with Xiao Xing'er, and got on the kang in their slippers without saying a word.

Zhu Yuanzhang was initially somewhat confused.

But when he sat on the kang later as arranged by Master Hu, and felt the warmth under his butt, he understood everything.

He didn't care about other things at the moment, but instead pulled Master Hu to ask him to arrange this thing for the palace.

The palace is in great need of this thing.

After all, palaces are built big and empty just for the sake of appearance.

As a result, the house is solemn and prestigious, but it is uncomfortable to live in.

It's hot in the summer and drafty in the winter.

It's no use lighting a charcoal brazier or something like that, as it can cause both poisoning and fire.

The key is that often one side gets hot while the other side is still shivering.

Now that he has felt the good things from Master Hu, Zhu Yuanzhang can finally be said to have found his savior.

Not to mention anything else, just for this kang, my trip today was not in vain!
