Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di felt helpless when they heard Zhu Gaoye's words.
He didn't expect this kid to be such a cunning person.
Helpless, the two of them could only follow Zhu Gaoye back to the surface.
When they passed by the military factory and glass workshop, the workers were still busy working.
The two of them followed Zhu Gaoye and came to the front of the hand-operated elevator again. Under Zhu Gaoye's operation, the three of them returned to the ground.
Walking out of the dark room, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di breathed in the air outside. They felt a trance in their hearts, as if a lifetime had passed.
Those exquisite glassware, flintlocks with extremely long range, and those powerful Fran cannons, it was like a dream.
It was as if nothing had happened. The underground base that he had seen just now seemed to have never appeared.
With this surreal feeling, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di subconsciously looked back at the same time, only to see the fake mountain that had been restored to its original state. The underground base disappeared from their sight just like that.
"Please!"
Zhu Gaoye's voice came from the front. He turned around and saw Zhu Gaoye looking at them with a smile.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di quickly gathered their thoughts and followed Zhu Gaoye back to the mansion.
After they sat down, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di realized that they were indeed hungry, especially Zhu Yuanzhang. He had started the morning court session early and rushed to Zhu Gaoye's place before he had time to eat.
These days, Zhu Yuanzhang was in a bad mood, so he didn't eat much. Except for the food he ate at Zhu Gaoye's place yesterday, he basically didn't eat anything else.
He was so hungry that his stomach was growling.
Zhu Di's situation was not much better. When the person sent by Zhu Yuanzhang arrived at his residence, it was when he was preparing for breakfast. Therefore, he followed the person who came to deliver the edict to the palace without any preparation.
After the three of them sat down, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but look forward to today's food. The delicious food he had eaten yesterday had left him with endless aftertaste. He wanted Zhu Gaoye to cook it again.
Especially the gourmet powder. It was simply delicious.
"Little friend, what are you going to bring to entertain me today?”
Zhu Yuanzhang asked impatiently.
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Zhu Gaoye smiled mysteriously."
"Don't worry, we'll know soon!”
After saying that, Zhu Gaoye said to the servant,"
"Go and bring the hotpot up!"
Hotpot? Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di heard another new term. What was this hotpot?
The servant immediately turned around and left. After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di saw a strange-looking thing. It looked like a pot with a big hole in the middle, but it looked like a pagoda without any edges or corners.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel surprised. Was this the hotpot that Zhu Gaoye had mentioned?
However, there was nothing inside except for some soup. Was Zhu Gaoye going to let them drink until they were full?
"Is this the hotpot that little friend mentioned?"
Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at the hotpot on the table and asked.
Zhu Gaoye nodded and said,
"That's right, this is hotpot. I'm already a little tired of eating those stir-fried dishes all day long. Today, let's change the taste.”
Hearing Zhu Gaoye's words, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di both revealed a strange look on their faces. They wanted to tell Zhu Gaoye that he should let his cook cook. He had eaten enough, but they hadn't.
However, as the Emperor and Prince of Yan of Ming Dynasty, the two of them held back their desire to speak.
Zhu Gaoye didn't intend to explain anything in the face of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di's surprise. He asked the servants to light the charcoal in the hot pot and prepare to boil the water in the hot pot first.
The tube was like a chimney. Using the principle of hot air flow, the charcoal was quickly ignited and began to burn.
Then, the servants brought up plates of dishes. There were meat and vegetables in these dishes, which were neatly placed on plates.
Other than mutton rolls and pork, there were also leeks and cabbages. It looked beautiful and pleasing to the eye.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di looked at the dishes in front of them and were even more surprised. Where did this kid get so many dishes? One had to know that some of the dishes were out of season.
Although there were also a small number of vegetables planted out of season in ancient times, not only was it difficult to operate, but the yield was also very low. It was not enough to meet the needs of the royal family alone. How could there be any excess to supply the consumption of the people?
However, what Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di didn't know was that even though there were so many dishes, Zhu Gaoye still felt extremely regretful. The lack of his favorite beef and tripe had always been his regret.
However, there was nothing he could do about it. In this era, the importance of cows had even surpassed that of humans in a sense.
This did not mean that humans were inferior to cows, but as a tool of production, cows had advantages that other livestock could not compare to, let alone humans.
Often, some small landlord families might not even be qualified to own a cow.
Especially Zhu Yuanzhang, who was a cowherd boy, he understood the importance of cattle to the common people. Therefore, he strictly prohibited the slaughter of cattle among the common people. Those who violated the law would be punished severely.
In the Ming Dynasty, all the cows in the country were registered. Even cows that died normally had to go through layers of checks to see if there was anything fishy going on.
Under such circumstances, eating beef was simply daydreaming.
If Zhu Gaoye really wanted to eat it, although the operation was a little difficult, it was not impossible. After all, money could make the world go round, and Zhu Gaoye was not a person who lacked money.
However, Zhu Gaoye wouldn't kill a cow to eat meat just because of his temporary appetite. It didn't matter if he ate less beef. However, this extra cow was the hope of many people to survive.
Immediately after, plates of fish meat that had been cut into crystal clear pieces were served. They were placed on the plates and attracted the attention of everyone. Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di were also attracted by them.
At this point, all the dishes had been served, and the servants had all left, leaving all the space for Zhu Gaoye, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Di.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that these vegetables were all raw and was very curious.
"Little friend, these vegetables are all raw. How do you eat them?”
