"Father, do you want to eat?"
Zhu Xiong said with a smile.
"Yes…"
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up, but before he could say the word " eat ", he suddenly changed the topic.
"That's all. What do you mean?”
"What's so interesting about having a son?"
Zhu Rong said seriously,"
"You're my father. If you're hungry, I'll naturally find food for you.”
"But I'm not hungry."
Zhu Yuanzhang quickly shook his head, then rubbed his belly and changed the topic again.
"However, if you insist on making it for us, it's not impossible for us to reluctantly taste it.”
Zhu Rong didn't expose his father's trick, which was rare. He looked at the locust corpses floating over from the river and his eyes were extremely bright.
"If that's the case, then I'll have to trouble you to pick up some firewood. I'll cook for you here.”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked exhausted.
"What? Are we still going to collect firewood?"
Zhu Rong was speechless."
"Father, do some work. There is no free dinner in this world.”
"Sigh, alright!"
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and stood up from the shore. Just as he was about to leave, he frowned.
"Oh right, what are you going to cook for us?”
The corner of Zhu Rong's mouth curled up as he smiled at Zhu Yuanzhang and said,"
"You'll know when the time comes. It's delicious anyway.”
"Really?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Rong doubtfully. However, he felt that his stomach was empty. In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang had grown up suffering since he was young, so he was not that particular. He shook his head and did not care. He went to collect firewood.
When Zhu Yuanzhang left the shore, Zhu Rong immediately had an idea. He controlled the system and asked Mr. Super Construction Factory to produce a fishing net to fish up hundreds of dead locusts from the West River.
After that, he produced a series of seasonings such as oil, salt, vinegar, and chili. Then, he smeared oil on the locusts, sprinkled some salt and chili, put them on small sticks, and leisurely roasted them over the bonfire.
After an unknown amount of time, the locusts had stopped for a while before footsteps could be heard from afar.
Zhu Xi's ears twitched. When he heard the sound, he quickly picked up two leaves and wrapped a roasted locust in them. He ran towards the sound and said,
"Father, you're finally here!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was already starving, and after collecting firewood for half a day, he became even more tired. At this moment, his nose moved slightly and he smelled an alluring fragrance. His saliva immediately flowed down,
"Wow, it smells so good. What are you roasting?”
Zhu Rong handed the locust sandwich to Zhu Yuanzhang without hesitation."
"This is it. Try it."
"Good, good, good."
Zhu Yuanzhang was already starving. Seeing this, he immediately threw down the firewood in his hand and reached out to take the locust sandwich. Without looking carefully, he stuffed it into his mouth.
With a " Puchi " sound, Zhu Yuanzhang took a bite. The high protein immediately filled his entire mouth, bringing with it an indescribable mellow fragrance. His eyes immediately lit up, and his face was filled with enjoyment.
"Yes ~~"
Zhu Xiong frowned and couldn't help but take a step back."
"Father, how does it taste?"
"Delicious!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded his head without hesitation. He looked at Zhu Rong with a trace of relief in his eyes.
"It's fragrant and crispy. It tastes like chicken, but it's more fragrant than chicken!”
At this point, Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hand and patted Zhu Rong's shoulder."
"Haha…Not bad, Second Brother. I didn't expect that you, this unfilial child, aren't completely ignorant and incompetent. Although a gentleman stays away from the kitchen, cooking delicious food is still a strength. Not bad, I'm very pleased!”
Zhu Rong humbly waved his hand.
" Just so-so, third in the world."
Zhu Yuanzhang grinned and put his arm around Zhu Rong's shoulder."
"Is there any more of this delicacy? Give me some more. By the way, Second Brother, I still don't know what this delicacy is.”
Zhu Rong took another step back."
"Father, I can tell you, but you have to promise me that no matter how angry you are, you can't attack me.”
The corner of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth twitched. He looked at Zhu Rong speechlessly and said,"
"Second Brother, what are you saying? Am I the kind of person who beats up chefs after eating?”
"Besides, when I was poor, I even drank pearl jade white jade soup. What else do I not dare to eat?”
When Zhu Xiong heard this, he pointed at the bonfire not far away and said,"
"There's still a lot of delicious food over there. Father, you'll know when you see it.”
"A lot?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up, and his Adam's apple bobbed. He immediately turned around and ran towards the bonfire.
"Then we won't stand on ceremony…"
The excitement on his face instantly froze, and his body stiffened. Looking at the skewers of roasted locusts beside the bonfire, Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth immediately puffed up.
"Ugh ~"
Zhu Xiong stood not far away, tiptoeing to look at his father. He asked tentatively,"
"Father, are you alright?"
"…Defy! Son!"
Zhu Yuanzhang roared at the sky. His merciless iron hand directly took out a burning wooden stick from the bonfire. The moment he turned around, his face was extremely ferocious as he rushed towards Zhu Rong.
"Ding dong! [Your 3,000 Emperor's Wrath points have been transferred to your account!]”
Damn it!
Zhu Rong's eyes widened as he turned around and ran.
"Stop right there!"
Zhu Yuanzhang roared as he chased.
"Father, didn't you promise that you wouldn't hit me no matter how angry you were?”
Zhu Xiong warned as he fled.
"You unfilial son, you actually dared to let us eat those damned locusts!”
Zhu Yuanzhang waved the torch in his hand and smashed it at Zhu Rong.
Zhu Rong dodged to the side and barely dodged the torch. He turned around and saw Zhu Yuanzhang bending over to pick up the firewood he had just picked up. He hurriedly waved his hand and said,
"Dad, it's crispy. It tastes like chicken!”
"Shut up!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened in anger. He picked up the firewood and chased after Zhu Rong again.
"Father, you didn't keep your promise!"
Zhu Rong slipped away again.
"Whoosh!"
Firewood was thrown from behind Zhu Rong, accompanied by Zhu Yuanzhang's furious roar,"
"I won't keep my promise. What can you do?”
"If you hadn't lied to us, would we have eaten locusts?”
"You unfilial son, what else do you not dare to do?”
“…………”
Zhu Rong hugged his head and dodged the firewood while shouting,"
"Someone, help! The tiger is eating its cubs!”
"Shut up!"
Zhu Yuanzhang shouted loudly.
"Yak!"
At this moment, a familiar cry was heard, accompanied by the sound of hooves. Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Xi stopped in their tracks and looked in the direction of the sound. Under the illumination of the moonlight, Brother Mule returned with a panicked expression.
Because behind him, there was a man riding a tall horse, with a bow and arrow pointed at Brother Mule!
"Yak!"
Brother Mule seemed to have sensed that he was doomed. He immediately raised his head to the sky and cried out, the corners of his eyes slowly moist.
Fortunately, at this moment, Zhu Xiong leaped onto its back and pulled the reins with his big hand, turning around abruptly.
With a swoosh, the cold arrow brushed past Brother Mule's head.
When the person behind him saw this, he immediately frowned. Just as he was about to draw his bow, a piece of firewood flew straight towards his face!
With a bang, a miserable cry was heard, and the person immediately flipped over and fell off the horse.
However, when Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Rong heard the screams, they looked at each other and saw a strange look in each other's eyes.
"Eh? Why does it sound like…"
" Third Brother!!!"
