Chapter 35: Second Son, Is It Fragrant?

Liu Chun accompanied the little fat dun to eat, pickles and tofu, he ate sweetly, could it be that people eat whatever they eat? Liu Chun ate three more nests.

Zhu Gaochi smiled and told Liu Chun that although Zhu Yuanzhang loved his grandson, he was also worried that they didn't understand the people's suffering, so every once in a while, he would arrange for them to eat some "bitter rice".

Lao Zhu is quite good at educating children, but I don't know if there is the famous "Pearl Jade White Jade Soup", Liu Chun smiled and said: "Eldest son, are you going to see the second son, or ......"

"Don't be busy yet."

Little Fat Dun wiped his mouth and said curiously: "Can I see how to make military rations first?" ”

"Absolutely."

Liu Chun took Zhu Gaochi and came to the workshop area.

Here is a large awning, and the women of the Aries mouth are sitting in it, neatly ...... The grain that was transported was first sorted, and all the stones and sundries had to be thrown away, and then they were washed and then dried.

The next thing is to take it to the pan and fry it.

It's heavy work, and it has to be done by men.

One by one, the men were bare-chested, revealing their strong muscles, they waved the shovels in their hands, and the grain and beans were different from each other, like waves, which was very beautiful!

The red fire of the stove shone on everyone's faces, and the hot sweat rolled down the texture of the muscles.

It takes an hour to fry a pot, and even the strongest man can only fry two pots in a row.

Zhu Gaochi picked up an extra-large shovel and wanted to give it a try, but he couldn't even turn it over, so he could only return the shovel to the workers.

"Two pots in the morning and two pots in the afternoon, how much money can they get?"

"Three articles in one pot." Liu Chun said frankly.

"Then, four pots a day can earn twelve Wen! Not enough to buy a chicken! Zhu Gaochi remembered that his father seemed to have given Liu Chun a lot of money, so he couldn't be generous to the workers?

At this time, an old worker squatting by the stove suddenly laughed.

"Who can still eat chicken every day?"

Another stir-fried worker also said: "If you can eat eggs, it's a festival!" The little boy must be a nobleman, and he has never had a hard life at first glance! ”

Xiao Chubby nodded subconsciously, he really didn't know how the people's hard life was, in his opinion, wotou, pickles, radish, and tofu were already very bitter.

At least that's the limit of what he can experience in the palace...... No matter how much Zhu Yuanzhang wants to train his children, he will not really let them be like when he was a child, as a cattle herding baby, a little monk, and begging along the street!

The old worker said with a smile: "Although Liu Xiaolang doesn't pay much, as long as he works for three months, he can get one acre of land, who still has such courage?" ”

"Who says it isn't! Even if we don't pay for it, we're willing to work! The young worker chimed in.

Liu Chun snorted, "That's good, from tomorrow onwards, the wages will stop!" ”

"Don't!"

The old worker hurriedly jumped up, grabbed the shovel, jumped on the stove, and vigorously stir-fried.

"Young Master Liu, we all work hard, and the wages must not be less! I'm going to marry my daughter next year! ”

The young worker immediately said, "Father-in-law, I don't want a dowry!" ”

"Phew!"

The old worker smacked hard and scolded: "Just for the sake of his daughter not marrying you like this, the old man has to make a big effort!" Saying that, he crossed his waist and said to everyone: "Have you all heard, if you don't work hard, your daughter will be his daughter-in-law!" ”

There was a commotion in the shed, and the big guys immediately redoubled their efforts.

The young worker gritted his teeth and frantically sped up swinging his shovel, "Old Li Tou, I have identified your father-in-law!" Let's see if you earn enough dowry first, or if I earn enough bride price first! ”

……

It turned out that this group of coolies was also so interesting, and the little chubby dun laughed for a while before passing through the wok group and arriving in front of a large stone mill.

The most interesting thing here, didn't Liu Chun get a lot of livestock from Lan Yu! At last he did a great help, and the cows, horses, mules, and donkeys were blindfolded, and they kept turning around the mill, and the burnt powder fell into the basket.

The person in charge of collecting the powder gathers it and then converts it into military rations according to the proportions.

Zhu Gaochi grabbed a handful of military rations that still had residual warmth and stuffed them into his mouth!

Very dry and salty!

Compared to what he ate in the palace, it was much worse.

There is no way, if you follow the practice of the palace, the treasury of the Ming Dynasty will be empty.

Little Fat Dun lowered his head and said silently: "Father eats this?" ”

Liu Chun nodded, "His Royal Highness King Yan and the soldiers share weal and woe, naturally no exception. ”

Little Fat Dun raised his head with tears in his eyes, "I, I also want to eat this every day until my father comes back, okay?" ”

This little chubby dun always has heart-warming actions, which makes Liu Chun can't bear to refuse.

"Eldest son, you are still young, it is the time to grow your body, and you still have to eat normally, as for military rations, how about eating half a bowl every day?"

Little Fat Dun thought about it seriously, "It's still a bowl!" Eat a little more every day, and my father will be able to stay by his side a little longer...... Do you think my father will be lucky enough to eat with me? ”

"Of course it will."

Liu Chun promised the little fat dun's words, but secretly his old face was feverish. The filial piety of this little chubby dun really makes many adults embarrassed, and it seems that he will have to be kind to Liu San in the future!

When they turned back from the workshop area, Xiao Chubby Dun suddenly slapped his head and hurriedly said, "Yes, is there any roast chicken?" ”

"The eldest prince is hungry?"

Zhu Gaochi looked down at his belly, and seemed to be deflated a little, but it was not the point...... "I want to take it to my second brother!" ”

Liu Chun smiled, as if he was doing a trick, and took out a food box, who can really be hungry for the second son of King Yan!

Zhu Gaochi took it in his hand and followed Liu Chun to Zhu Gaoxu's room.

Outside the door, they heard a cries!

That's right!

It's crying!

The bear child Zhu Gaoxu cried!

If you want to say that this kid, the biggest characteristic is his toughness, he used to be a live bandit in the palace, even if he let his father catch the thug board and beat his little hands into hair cakes, he didn't cry, at most with tears, and he didn't fall down when he was killed. Zhu Di prefers him, that is, he likes his toughness, like himself!

But today, the bear child couldn't hold it anymore, lying on the elm bedboard, crying a lot, crying, scolding, scolding, scolding the big meat ball, scolding the little monk, scolding so much that his throat was hoarse.

He looked up, and the room was dark, and there was nothing on the walls.

Touch the belly, empty.

This is hunger and cold!

Since the day he was born, Zhu Gaoxu has experienced this feeling for the first time!

It's so uncomfortable!

"I'm going home, I'm going home!"

Zhu Gaoxu's voice came out, and Liu Chun hurriedly pushed open the door and walked in with Zhu Gaochi. Liu Chun lit the candle first, and there was light in the room.

Zhu Gaoxu was lying on the bed alone, his little buttocks were pouted high, and his posture was strange, which was a little pitiful.

Zhu Gaochi saw the miserable appearance of his second brother, his heart softened, he went up, stretched out his chubby hand, hugged Zhu Gaoxu, and wanted him to sit up, who knew that Zhu Gaochu bared his teeth and desperately pushed his hand away.

"Don't worry about it!"

Zhu Gaochi is only two years older in the end, and he can't settle this bear child, so he can only look at Liu Chun for help.

When Liu Chun got closer, he found that Zhu Gaoxu's legs were trembling, and there was cold sweat on his sideburns. Liu Chun hurriedly reached out, grabbed Zhu Gaoxu's armpit, and lifted him up.

The bear child couldn't help but sigh!

"Where does it hurt?"

Liu Chun asked him.

Zhu Gaoxu's eyes turned downward, Liu Chun seemed to have an understanding, he put Zhu Gaoxu away, and then gently withdrew his pants, but as soon as he touched it, the bear child cried bitterly.

It turned out that he was reckless when he was in a hurry, and the inside of his leg was worn out.

Liu Chun quickly made a basin of hot water, dipped it in a hand towel, and moistened it a little bit before separating the skin and pants. Just on the inside of the thighs, there are two red patches larger than a palm, and the pieces of flesh are worn out, and they look shocking.

Zhu Gaochi was frightened, "Second, is the second brother okay?" The little chubby face turned white with fright.

Liu Chun took a look, "It's not that serious, I'll go get some medicine and apply it for two or three days." ”

He was just about to go to get the medicine, his sleeve was grabbed by a hand, and when he looked back, Zhu Gaoxu was pitiful and pointed to his stomach, "Hungry!" ”

It's a child, it's so quick to admit it!

Liu Chun hurriedly gave Zhu Gaochi a look, and the little fat dun put the food box in front of the second brother, and took out the food as if offering a treasure.

"Let's eat!"

Zhu Gaoxu's eyes widened, and he didn't care about anything, desperately stuffing it into his mouth, like a hamster.

Liu Chun saw the sweetness of his food, and suddenly remembered a certain iron-clad goods.

"Second son, is it fragrant?"
