Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Huai with a complicated expression."What did you say?"
Zhu Huai scratched his head." It's nothing. I just feel like I've been to this place before. I can't remember for a moment. I think I passed by when I was wandering with Master."”
"It's fine. Let's go and eat.”
Zhu Huai naturally looked forward.
Anyway, he did not remember his past. If he kept looking for the past, it would be meaningless to his life and would waste unnecessary time.
People who liked to reminisce about the past and always looked at the past were either sentimental by nature, had a bad life at the moment, or had no hope for the future.
Zhu Huai was not such a person.
Zhu Yuanzhang pursed his lips and laughed heartily."Yes! Let's go eat!"
He was a confident emperor, confident that his judgment would not be wrong. Since that was the case, why would he need to repeatedly confirm and doubt his judgment?
Ten miles away from Mount Zhong, in Shangyuan County.
This was one of the seven counties under Ying Tian Prefecture.
"Old Master, what do you want to eat?"
When they arrived at the market, the population increased, and the atmosphere became more marketplace.
Zhu Yuanzhang clasped his hands behind his back.”
"Alright."
Zhu Huai knew that the old man liked to eat these ordinary things, so he deliberately stopped in front of the bun shop.
A shrewd smile appeared in the old man's eyes as he looked at Zhu Huai and said,"You brat, your mind is more active than anyone else, yet you still want the old man to speak.”
"Maybe it's not to your liking." Zhu Huai smiled.”
Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily,"Don't you know what we like to eat?”
Zhu Huai spread out his hands." Alright, alright, alright. Let's go and eat the buns!"”
There was a long queue in front of the stall. It could be seen that this bun shop was doing well.
Zhu Huai pulled Zhu Yuanzhang along as they lined up comfortably.
Zhu Yuanzhang liked this kind of atmosphere. He did not enjoy any special privileges just because he was the emperor.
He also liked to leave the palace, because that way, he could see more of the folk's attitudes.
Seeing that the team was about to reach him, there was a young man in ragged clothes in front of him. He did not wear shoes and held a green bamboo in his hand. It was Qi Suo 'er.
At this moment, a woman from behind walked up to Qi Suo 'er while mumbling. She stood in front of Qi Suo' er and said to the boss,""Give me five meat buns. My grandson is waiting to eat them. He likes big meat fillings and won't eat anything else.”
Qi Suo 'er was about to buy a bun with his dirty hands when he was interrupted by the middle-aged woman. The two copper coins in his hands fell to the ground as the woman pushed them away.
Qi Suo 'er did not care about the woman who cut the queue and quickly bent down to pick it up.
The woman glanced at him in disdain and continued to say to the boss,"What are you waiting for? Get the buns!"
Zhu Yuanzhang could not bear to see people being bullied, especially beggars.
"What's wrong with you, sister?" he asked angrily. They had been queuing for a long time, and not only did you cut in line, but you also knocked down their copper coins, and you didn't even apologize?”
The middle-aged woman glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang and said unhappily,"You're already so old. Why are you being a good old man? If you're so kind, why don't you give all your money to this beggar?”
"You!" Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that his chest trembled.
Not far away, the Liao brothers narrowed their eyes and prepared to step forward, but they were stopped by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Huai stroked Zhu Yuanzhang's chest." Old man, don't be angry. I'll do it."”
Zhu Huai looked at the woman and said in a clear voice,"Everyone else is queuing up, but you cut in line. What do you want the brothers and sisters in line to say?”
" That's right!" A commotion broke out behind them." If you don't line up, we won't line up either!"”
The shop owner saw that the crowd was noisy and quickly maintained order. He said to the woman,"Auntie, it's not easy for our small business.”
The woman rolled her eyes at Zhu Huai and left the group.
"You buy first," Zhu Huai said to Qi Suo 'er.”
Qi Suo 'er was somewhat grateful.
Zhu Yuanzhang was furious.”
Zhu Huai smiled.
In front of them, Qi Suo 'er used the remaining two copper coins to buy a meat bun eagerly, then hurriedly ran to the side and sat down to eat.
When it was Zhu Huai's turn, he continued in a clear voice,"Boss! How many meat buns do you have left?"
"Thirty," said the boss.
Zhu Huai thought for a moment,"Then I want them all."”
After saying that, he said to his brothers and sisters behind him,"If you guys want meat buns, come and buy them from me. Oh, I don't sell to people with no quality.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the middle-aged woman who was queuing up again stomped her feet in anger."You wicked brat, you're so evil. Eat, eat, eat. Can you finish thirty?”
"What bad luck! How unlucky!"
The middle-aged woman cursed as she left. Everyone suddenly burst into laughter and praised Zhu Huai's wit. At the same time, they vented their anger in their hearts.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at Zhu Huai."You brat! How sinister! Haha!"
Not far away, the woman walked up to her seven or eight-year-old grandson. Because she didn't buy any buns, she was beaten up by her grandson.
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said angrily,"It's unfilial for a grandson to hit an old man.”
Zhu Huai said," The upper beam is not straight, the lower beam is crooked. You reap what you sow. There's no need to sympathize."”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in agreement and said in a bad mood,"Yes! With this woman's behavior, what kind of good bird could she teach?”
Zhu Huai shook his head and laughed. He was speechless and amused by the old man's vengeful thoughts.
He pulled Zhu Yuanzhang to sit down at the stall and sighed,"It's really the custom of a prosperous world. A big meat bun is only one yuan.”
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little proud after hearing this." That's right. This is Yingtian Prefecture. It's the capital under the emperor's rule. Of course, it's a prosperous place!"”
"Yeah," Zhu Huai nodded sincerely.”
No matter how the later generations evaluated Zhu Yuanzhang, they could say that he was cruel and merciless.
However, Zhu Huaizhen came from an era where the people were simple. Especially when he saw the prices of the people under the rule of Yingtian Prefecture, he sincerely agreed with Zhu Yuanzhang's policy of governing the country.
"Hiss! Smells good!" Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care if it was hot or not. He directly threw the steamed bun into his mouth and ate it in big mouthfuls.
"Garlic, give me two cloves of garlic!"
"Get us some vinegar and sesame oil!”
"Old man, sesame oil and vinegar, plus one coin," the shop owner said respectfully.”
Zhu Yuanzhang was unhappy." Why should I pay more?”
Zhu Huai was speechless and amused. The old man was obviously very rich, but he still liked to haggle over such trivial matters. He said to Zhu Yuanzhang,"It's mainly in sesame oil. The cost of refining sesame oil is high, so it's normal to add money.”
"Your grandson knows how hard it is for us. Old man, you should learn more."”
Zhu Yuanzhang was not angry at being ridiculed. Instead, he smiled and said,"You brat, you know more than us! Medium, give me more money, add vinegar and sesame oil!”
