After Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma made their decision, they set off for Fuzhou Prefecture.
After more than half a month.
Their carriage gradually arrived at Fuzhou Prefecture.
When he entered the city, Zhu Yuanzhang encountered the same situation as when he was in Pei County.
The city guards saw that they were rich merchants, so they guided them to areas with high consumption.
They had not entered the city yet.
Zhu Yuanzhang could hear the lively sounds coming from within the city walls.
Looking from here.
They could already see a neat and tidy residential area. It was very dazzling and imposing.
However, there were more foundations built around them, and there were still a large number of houses that were not completed.
All kinds of factories also occupied a large area.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw the familiar scene again. Not far away, thick black smoke rose from the sky.
When he first arrived at Pei County, he saw the same scene. At that time, he thought that there was a fire and made a fool of himself in front of the people.
He recalled the scene in the past.
Looking at the vibrant Fuzhou Prefecture, Zhu Yuanzhang believed that Meng Yin had already built a second Pei County.
After entering the city.
Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang realize that he had underestimated the development of Fuzhou Prefecture.
Caravans could be seen everywhere.
At a glance, there were four or five shops on the street with the words 'Project Invitation Meeting.'
Merchants could be seen walking on the streets while discussing business with others.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at this scene in a daze.
Even though he had already learned from the intelligence that a large number of merchant groups had gathered in Fuzhou Prefecture.
However, after seeing it with his own eyes today, he knew that the number of merchants in Fuzhou Prefecture had already surpassed the other cities in Ming Dynasty.
Gradually.
Zhu Yuanzhang was already used to it.
Now.
The place they were going to was where the Embroidered Uniform Guards had stayed.
Zhu Yuanzhang's guards asked for directions and came back to report to Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang's expression became much better.
Because…
Just now, when the guards asked the commoners for directions.
When the commoners heard that the place they were going to was actually the most prosperous commercial area in the entire Fuzhou Prefecture!
In an instant, the way they looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and the others changed.
This inevitably reminded Zhu Yuanzhang.
The current residence of the Brocade Guards was still a good piece of land that Meng Yin had personally chosen for them on account of their family's face.
It seemed like Meng Yin was still reliable.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled. He also wanted to quickly go and see how prosperous the area around that piece of land was.
He was in a good mood. He smiled at the guard and said," Let's continue on our way.”
"Yes, Master!"
...
Very quickly.
The carriage passed through the commercial street.
After passing by a large area of factories, they gradually arrived at a place where more people lived.
There were fewer merchants here, and it was considered a living area for the people of Fuzhou Prefecture.
The surroundings were filled with places to eat, drink, and have fun.
"Selling shaobing, big and round shaobing!”
It just so happened.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's carriage passed by a shop selling sesame seed cakes. The fragrance of the sesame seed cakes entered the carriage.
Zhu Yuanzhang sniffed.
Suddenly, a flash of memory appeared on his face.
"I still remember when we were young, there were years of famine.”
"I'll tell the cowherd boys that when I become the emperor, I'll reward them with two buns and three flatbread every day.”
"At that time, I thought that as long as I became the emperor, I would have endless bread and flatbread every day."”
When Empress Ma heard this, she smiled gently.
"Sigh, what you said makes me greedy.”
Seeing this.
Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the carriage to stop.
He and Empress Ma alighted from the carriage and the two of them walked to the shaobing shop, intending to buy two shaobings.
As soon as the two of them walked over, the person selling the sesame seed cakes immediately smiled when he saw them." Are you two here to buy sesame seed cakes?”
"Fragrant and delicious sesame seed cakes. They're fresh from the oven!”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.”
The other party said," Twenty yuan each.”
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he heard that.
Then…
His face fell.
"You profiteer, you actually sold a sesame seed cake for 20 yuan!”
"Even in the capital, a sesame seed cake is only worth eight yuan at most!”
Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily.
When the other party heard this, he sized them up and said,"Are the two of you foreigners?"
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly.
"So what if he's a foreigner? Did he deserve to be scammed by a profiteer like you?”
The person selling the sesame seed cakes smiled helplessly.
"No wonder…Look, my sesame seed cake is different from ordinary sesame seed cakes!”
"There's so much meat inside."
"Compared to some other places, ordinary people eat more meat at home.”
As the other party spoke, he took out a sesame seed cake and opened it.
As expected.
Immediately, a thick fragrance of meat wafted over. The meat was also a huge lump.
Seeing this scene.
Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked again.
Indeed, the person selling the pancakes was not lying.
Just the meat wrapped in a pancake was definitely enough for all the poor people to eat a meal of meat. Some people could only eat some minced meat at a time.
He was puzzled.
"Isn't it a loss for you to put so much meat in a sesame seed cake?”
The other party shook his head.
"Now, our Fuzhou Prefecture is different from before. The living standards of all the people have improved.”
Zhu Yuanzhang found it hard to believe.
"Are the lives of the citizens of Fuzhou Prefecture so luxurious?”
The other party nodded and said,"It's much better than before. If you don't believe me, why don't you take a look around?"”
Hearing this.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma left the shop.
They continued walking down the street.
They passed by a shop that sold some local fruits.
At this moment.
Zhu Yuanzhang heard a woman's voice coming from inside.
"Shopkeeper, give me half a catty of all the fruits in your shop.”
"Alright!"
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the shopkeeper had really weighed half a catty of all the fruits in his shop.
The woman had probably spent a few hundred yuan.
The shop owner said,"Leave your address. I'll get the shop assistant to send it to your house later."”
The woman nodded and said," Alright, then I'll add another 20 yuan for the shipping fee.”
Seeing this.
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't stand it anymore.
Spending a few hundred yuan just like that? Was this an ordinary family?？？
"Can you finish all the fruits you bought?" he asked.”
When the woman heard his question, she said happily," Isn't fruit platter popular recently?”
"My child loves it. What's the point of spending this little money?”
The woman didn't feel any heartache at spending a few hundred yuan.
"Besides, even if you can't finish it, you can still squeeze it into juice to drink.”
the woman said with a smile.
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned again.
He knew how to squeeze the fruit into juice.
However…
What was a fruit platter?
What new way of eating is that?
