Great Ming: I, Zhu Di, Declare My Intentions to Seize the Throne from the Start!

Shiro is still in the shed?

After dinner, Zhu Di dived into the shed again. When his eighth uncle came back from taking a bath, he saw everyone else sitting quietly outside. He glanced at the shed and asked in a low voice, for fear of disturbing Zhu Di.

Well, the fourth brother hasn't come out yet, so we don't dare to disturb him for fear of disturbing his thoughts. A young man replied in a low voice.

Uncle Eight nodded with satisfaction and sat on the river embankment with everyone to enjoy the evening breeze.

swish swish...

At a certain moment, footsteps sounded behind him.

A group of old men all turned around, their eyes widened, and they stared blankly...

Zhu Di looked at it and couldn't help but smile...

There is something inexplicably familiar about this scene of middle-aged and young people sitting on the river embankment.

Uncle Eighth, why do you look at me like that? Zhu Di asked knowingly with a smile.

Uncle Eighth and others came back to their senses, quickly stood up and gathered around, looked at it, and then reached out to touch Zhu Di's clothes.

Shiro, we have never seen this style of clothes! It's quite novel. It should be very convenient to wear when working.

The fabric is so thick, it must be very wear-resistant, right?

Where did you buy this kind of cloth?

…

Zhu Di smiled and replied: This is the work clothes Daya made for me. The cloth is also woven by Daya. We call this kind of work cloth.

As the name suggests, they are clothes for working.

The fabric is thick and wear-resistant, making it the most suitable for our work.

…

Xu Miaoyun brought this new set of clothes to Zhu Di, but he was reluctant to wear them to work.

After all, the old clothes can still be worn.

Weared it for the first time tonight.

All you need is to attract attention!

Of course, not to attract uncles.

It’s to attract customers tonight!

From the uncle's reaction, it has been verified that the style of the clothes is indeed very eye-catching!

Uncles, the guests are coming, so we have to prepare quickly. Zhu Di said, handing the cloth strip with writing on it to Uncle Eighth, Uncle Eighth, you get two sticks and tie them to both sides of the cloth strip. After a while, find two young people to spread the cloth and follow me.

Okay! Uncle Eight patted his chest and agreed with a smile.

Fourth Uncle, take the cleaned fish to the bottom of the river embankment. I will go down in a moment.

no problem!

…

After Zhu Di handed over a few people, he bent down and picked up the long stone placed at the door.

This piece of stone is different from yesterday.

A groove was cut into the stone strips.

It has become a stone trough.

Zhu Di moved the stone trough to the cooking fire and used a wooden stick to pull away the ashes.

Place the burned redwood pieces under the ashes and place them into the stone trough.

Several young people followed him like tails and came to the river bank under the embankment.

Unpack.

From the baggage, he took out a stick cut from a willow branch.

A skewer skewers a fish.

That's right!

Grilled fish!

Of course, it’s not just grilled fish.

But a ‘concept’ grilled fish!

The words on the banner are the ‘concept’ he gave to grilled fish, accurately targeting the ‘pain points’ of customers!

Use a sharpened stone to carefully make a few cuts on both sides of the fish.

Put the sign on the stone trough.

呲呲呲……

The water on the fish dripped on the red charcoal, making a squeaking sound.

The villagers looked at each other suspiciously.

Isn't this just grilled fish?

This thing is not very tasty!

Fourth brother, isn't this just grilled fish? The grilled fish is not delicious! A young man whispered: Really, if you don't believe me, just ask Uncle Eighth and the others.

People in the village all had the experience of fishing when they were young.

After catching fish, a group of children get together to grill and eat. It's okay to eat if they're hungry, but if they're not hungry, no one will eat!

The uncles spoke one after another.

Shiro, this is true!

Grilled fish is something that no one will eat unless they are hungry. New

Besides, there is no one else here, so who should I sell it to?

…

Zhu Di smiled and said: Sold to the rich man on the flower boat and the thin horse from Yangzhou!

What! ?

Everyone's eyes widened.

Guys, you won’t eat anything unless you’re hungry.

Will the rich man and the delicate Yangzhou thin horse eat this kind of food?

Uncle Eighth, I'm not entirely sure, but I want to give it a try.

Zhu Di looked at the suspicious people and said with a smile: According to the pattern of the past few days, the flower boat will be here soon.

Help me light the firewood I brought down.

In the meantime, unfurl the banner and hold it up.

Everyone, just do what Shiro said and take action! Uncle Eight took the lead in greeting everyone.

Although they are not optimistic about it, everyone is willing to help Zhu Di.

Soon, the bonfire was lit.

The surroundings were illuminated by the bonfire.

In the shed on the river bank, other villagers who rolled up mats and climbed on bamboo poles, waiting to see the flower boats, finally noticed the people in Tuqiao Village.

New 𝐱.𝐜𝐨𝐦

Look, what are these people in Tuqiao Village doing running to the river?

Lighting a bonfire must be to see the flower boats up close.

Haha... these people don't think they can see the Yangzhou thin horse in the flower boat just by standing by the river and lighting a bonfire, right?

…

Many people talked and raised their voices deliberately.

When the villagers heard this, they were all angry.

Zhu Di didn't care what others said. He looked at the heat and opened the small jars in the bag.

have to say.

Zhou Lang has a lot of problems, but he really doesn't know how to handle things.

The medicinal materials were ground into powder according to his requirements and packed in jars. Each jar was also labeled with a note.

star anise.

Anise.

Cinnamon.

cumin.

black pepper.

Angelica dahurica.

…

The same medicinal herbs with unique fragrance are sprinkled on the fish one by one.

Immediately, a special fragrance filled the air.

Huh!

When the villagers smelled the fragrance, they opened their eyes wide and looked at...

After Zhu Di sprinkled spices on all five fish, Uncle Eight came over, squatted down, sniffed and asked curiously: Silang, what are these? Why do they smell so fragrant all of a sudden?

Wow!

Everyone else gathered around him at once.

Zhu Di pointed to the jar and said with a smile: It is a medicinal material with a special fragrance that can be used as a seasoning spice.

Sprinkle it on the fish and grill it, and the aroma will penetrate into the fish...

Ding ding dong dong…

At this moment, bursts of quiet music came from upstream.

Zhu Di hurriedly said: Everyone spread out, let the fragrance float to the river, and raise the banners!

Our guests are here!

Everyone still had a lot of doubts, but they didn't bother to ask, and they all followed Zhu Di's instructions.

Zhu Di poked at the charcoal in the stone trough.

Increase temperature.

Feeling unsafe, I pinched some spices one by one from the jars and sprinkled them directly on the charcoal.

Ahem...

The strong fragrance spread instantly, stinging him and making him cough repeatedly.

Wiping his tears, he stood up immediately when he saw the first flower boat approaching.

The scent, the words on the banner, his clothes, more than 40 fellow villagers, and the bonfire are all important elements that attract attention!

Everyone stared eagerly at the flower boat slowly coming down the river from upstream...

Inside the flower boat.

The movement on the shore successfully attracted the young man in brocade clothes opposite the woman playing the piano.

The young man held a folding fan against the small window and shouted to the boatman with a smile: Pull the boat to the right bank!

When the charming woman playing the piano heard the sound, her fingers paused, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she smiled coquettishly: What is it that attracts Young Master Liu more than the slave family?

Mr. Liu smiled and waved, Come and see!

The charming woman stood up and came over.

ah!

Mr. Liu raised his hand and pulled her. The woman screamed and fell into Mr. Liu's arms.

Look across the way!

The woman's face was already flushed with embarrassment and she was pretending to be charming. When she heard the voice, it was as if a basin of cold water had been poured on her. With curiosity, she looked in the direction of Mr. Liu's finger.

Hey! What are these mud-legged servants doing?

The clothes that man is wearing are so weird! What is he doing?

The woman was successfully attracted by Zhu Di's work clothes and exclaimed one after another.

Look at the white cloth held by the fire! Mr. Liu reminded.

puff!

When the woman found the banner and saw the words on it clearly, she was immediately amused. Wan'er said: The words are very good, but the content is extremely vulgar!

A bunch of mud-legged people, they are crazy about money! Mr. Liu sneered and mocked, and once again ordered the boatman: Come closer!

The boat started to approach the shore again. Mr. Liu pinched the woman's chin and said with an evil smile, Miss Rong, how about we go play with these mud-legged people?

OK!

…

shore.

The ship is coming to our side!

Done?

…

The villagers watched the boat approaching slowly, talked in low voices, and secretly clenched their fists in excitement.

The villagers in the sheds on the river bank were all stunned, talking excitedly, and poured out of the sheds...

The flower boat is approaching!

How did these people from Tuqiao Village do it?

Let's go, go out and have a look! Maybe we can take advantage of Tuqiao Village and take a look at Yangzhou's thin horse!

As soon as we arrived at the river embankment, we smelled the rich fragrance wafting in the wind, and they all exclaimed again.

Hey, did you smell a scent? It smells so good. I feel hungry again when I smell it!

Me too

What are these people in Tuqiao Village doing?
