The thing that Zhu Gaoye used to enhance the freshness was none other than gourmet powder!
In ancient times, there were very few ways to improve the freshness.
The most common method was to use soup to boil it.
However, this method could only increase the freshness of the dish to a limited extent.
Moreover, ordinary people would not be able to use it at all.
Therefore, Zhu Gaoye created the delicious gourmet powder.
In an environment like the ancient times, it was simply a dimensional blow!
When Zhu Gaoye placed a bag of gourmet powder that he had ground in front of Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang's face was filled with doubt.
This white powder was the secret to making these fish and mutton delicious?
Seeing the doubt on the faces of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Gaoye took the initiative to say,"
"This thing is called gourmet powder. It's precisely this thing that can make these dishes taste so delicious!”
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di were in disbelief.
With a skeptical expression, Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his finger and dipped it in the powder called gourmet powder.
Then, he placed it on the tip of his tongue.
Zhu Yuanzhang's tongue instantly tasted fresh.
Soon, it filled Zhu Yuanzhang's entire mouth!
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes immediately widened!
There was actually such a delicacy in this world, but he knew nothing about it!
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's shocked expression, Zhu Di didn't believe it and also dipped his finger in a little bit of gourmet powder.
Then, he imitated Zhu Yuanzhang and placed it on the tip of his tongue.
The next second, Zhu Di's face revealed the same expression as Zhu Yuanzhang's!
Zhu Gaoye wasn't surprised at all when he saw their shocked expressions.
Instead, he smiled and said to the two of them,
"Don't be surprised. I have plenty of msg here. When you leave later, bring some with you."
"When you go back, tell the chef to put a little in when the dishes are about to be served.”
Hearing Zhu Gaoye's words, Zhu Yuanzhang's impression of his grandson increased greatly.
Zhu Gaoye's broad-mindedness made Zhu Yuanzhang very satisfied!
As they spoke, the remaining dishes were served one by one.
Apart from some of the dishes that he had,
There were also many dishes that Zhu Yuanzhang had never heard of before.
Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at a pot of red vegetables.
He asked Zhu Gaoye,"
"What dish is this?"
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Zhu Gaoye looked in the direction where Zhu Yuanzhang was pointing.
However, he realized that Zhu Yuanzhang was pointing at a pot of authentic duck blood curd.
Zhu Gaoye didn't think too much about it and said,"
"This item is called duck blood curd!"
In the end, he even reminded Zhu Yuanzhang,
"This dish is a little spicy. If you can't eat spicy food, it's better not to try it!”
Zhu Gaoye did not expect that his casual reminder would arouse Zhu Yuanzhang's curiosity.
Before the spiciness spread to the Central Plains, there were only sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, and salty flavors among the five flavors in the Central Plains.
There was no spiciness!
It was not until the chili was introduced into the Ming Dynasty and spread among the lower-class people that it became popular.
The spicy taste was replaced by the spicy taste, turning from sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, and salty to sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty!
Therefore, when Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhu Gaoye say that the dish was spicy, he said,
Instead, it piqued Zhu Yuanzhang's curiosity.
Because the red dishes looked appetizing!
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel excited!
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately picked up his chopsticks and stretched it towards the duck blood curd!
He picked up a piece of red food with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth without thinking.
However, in the next second, Zhu Yuanzhang spat out the food in his mouth without any regard for etiquette!
It turned out that after putting the dish into his mouth,
An unprecedented burning sensation immediately appeared in his mouth!
Zhu Yuanzhang spat out all the food out of reflex.
He quickly picked up the glass cup on the table and began to rinse his mouth crazily!
Zhu Di was shocked.
He did not know why his father would have such a reaction!
Fortunately, Zhu Gaoye was prepared and immediately ordered someone to bring him the prepared salt water.
He asked Zhu Yuanzhang to rinse his mouth.
He smiled and said,
"Brother Zhang, don't worry. It's your first time eating chili, and you'll have this kind of reaction.”
"It'll be fine when you get used to it!"
After saying that, he reached out his chopsticks and picked up a piece of duck blood curd as if he was proving it to Zhu Yuanzhang.
He put it into his mouth, but his expression did not change at all!
After Zhu Yuanzhang took the salt water and rinsed his mouth, the burning feeling in his mouth eased a lot.
Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang actually felt a trace of pleasure after tasting it.
It drove him to want to learn more about this duck's blood curd.
Zhu Gaoye, who was standing at the side, was like a devil, instigating Zhu Yuanzhang,"
"Brother Zhang, try again. This time, it will definitely be much better than before!”
At the same time, he also began to encourage Zhu Di to taste the duck blood curd!
Hearing Zhu Gaoye's words, Zhu Yuanzhang picked up his chopsticks again.
This time, Zhu Yuanzhang had learned his lesson. It was not like the first time.
He directly filled his chopsticks with food.
Instead, he only picked up a little and put it in his mouth to taste.
The burning sensation was still intense, but it was much lighter than the first time!
Moreover, the feeling of pain and a little pleasure made Zhu Yuanzhang unable to stop!
Zhu Di also gave it a try.
Other than the first bite that made him unable to endure it,
He also gained the same experience as Zhu Yuanzhang.
The more they ate, the more intoxicated Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di became. They began to feast on the pot of duck blood curd.
The two of them were sweating profusely as they ate. They did not have the image of an emperor or a prince at all.
In addition, there were other dishes.
Soon, the two of them swept the food on the table clean!
When Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di finally reacted,
The table was already in a mess!
Zhu Gaoye smiled and asked,"
"How was your meal? Are you satisfied with the taste of these dishes?”
Zhu Yuanzhang gently stroked his slightly bulging belly.
Ever since he ascended the throne, his diet and daily life were no longer only related to him!
It was also related to the stability of the entire Great Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, it had been a long time since Zhu Yuanzhang had been so impudent.
As the vassal king, Zhu Di had not been so impudent for a long time.
"Little friend, these dishes are the most delicious dishes I've ever eaten in my life!”
Zhu Di also chimed in,
"That's right! After eating the food in your residence, I probably won't be interested in other people's cooking anymore!”
Zhu Gaoye didn't say anything.
Instead, he ordered the servants to clean up the dishes on the table.
Then, he led Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di back to the guest table at the side.
He ordered someone to serve tea again.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang remembered that Zhu Gaoye had not answered his question.
So he asked again,"
"Little friend, why did you say that the Great Ming Empire would not last more than three hundred years?”
