The banquet was held in the Zhenguo Mansion.

Emperor Hongzhi had already sat down. He looked at the Zhenguo Mansion. It was very simple. Looking at the leaking tiles, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't say anything: "Who built this yamen?"

Zhu Houzhao immediately said, "It's Fang Jifan."

Fang Jifan also said at the same time: "This is the minister."

"No, not bad." Emperor Hongzhi said: "The mountain is not high, but there are immortals, but there are names; the water is not deep, but there are dragons, but there are spirits; the same is true for this yamen. If the officials do not build yamen, if they are grand and grand, the show is too big, and it will inevitably be too extravagant."

You can't help but the Ministry of Works refuses to pay, would we, Fang Jifan, pay for the public to repair it?

Fang Jifan complained in his heart.

Zhu Houzhao was also complaining in her heart, saying that it sounded nice, but the house was leaking, and the white ash on the powder fell down. Is this the yamen? This is the pigpen!

Zhu Houzhao was happy, and he had more important things to do: "Father, when he first built this yamen, Lao Fang did say so, saying that although the prince was in charge of Zhenguo Mansion, his father advocated frugality, and as a son, how could he be extravagant and generous?"

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan with appreciation: "This is a high remark."

The three of them sat down.

Fang Jifan felt uneasy.

To be honest, he disagreed with Zhu Houzhao's touching the emperor's reverse scales.

However, he is an outsider after all, so he should just take it as a show.

After a while, the hot pot was served, the hot pot...

This thing is not new.

Because there was a hot pot a long time ago, my ancestors made this thing very difficult to eat hot pot and the Bronze Age. It can be seen how crazy it is to eat it.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Border furnace?"

Water was added to the pot, but there was a special small stove with whale oil in the stove. Zhu Houzhao attracted the fire, and flames suddenly rose under the pot.

The soup in the pot has been stewed a long time ago. I used yellow croaker to make soup, and some vegetables were added to it. Therefore, when the heat was heated, the pot quickly became hot and began to boil.

Zhu Houzhao first snapped in her sleeve and took out a stack of documents: "Father, what do you think this is?"

Emperor Hongzhi looked closely and saw a thick stack of "Books of Slaughtering the Cow".

Zhu Houzhao said proudly: "The tens of thousands of cattle and horses, I have thought about it. I will raise the cattle and horses that I can use, and I will slaughter them all, either made into jerky meat or kept for slaughter. This cattle is based on documents. In order to entertain my father, I will slaughter them myself."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded.

This time, he had no temper at all. This bull was originally Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao put away the book of slaughtering cattle and then said, "Take the beef."

Plates of beef were served.

The beef was cut into small slices.

To be honest, Emperor Hongzhi has never eaten much beef.

After all, as the emperor, it is more about farming, and farming is related to plowing oxen. The recipes in the palace include chickens, ducks, fish, pigs and sheep, but there is no beef.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and nodded: "Then, I will ask you to have a blessing once and taste it."

Zhu Houzhao said: "Father, be slow to move, my son cooks it for my father."

At this time, Wen Yansheng stood aside and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, here the stove is made of yellow croaker as the base of the soup. The yellow croaker is delicious. Ginger, scallion and other items are added to remove the fishy smell. This pot of soup has been boiled overnight, so that the fish is almost stewed into the hall and turned into soup. This beef is the most important thing. When it is old, it is difficult to chew. Instead, it should be scalded until it is mature. Put it in the pot, mix it with green onions, garlic and other items into the mouth, and eat it while it is hot. It is both tender and delicious."

"besides……"

Zhu Houzhao couldn't stand it: "Mr. Wen, please avoid it, this is a private banquet."

Wen Yansheng nodded, feeling a little uncomfortable after not explaining, he couldn't help but say, "Actually, with the spicy flavor of the characteristics..."

"Okay, okay..." Zhu Houzhao waved.

Wen Yansheng had no choice but to say with a smile: "Then, please ask Your Majesty and Your Highness to have a meal while it's hot."

Leaving.

Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "Since it is a recommended thing by Mr. Wen, it must be delicious, and I can't wait."

Zhu Houzhao hurriedly said, "Then I will give my father a hot meal."

He picked up the chopsticks, picked up a few slices of raw meat, and put them into the rolling boiling soup.

Zhu Houzhao remembered something: "By the way, there is still Thirteen Scent." He raised the glass bottle on the table, poured out some powder, and threw it into the soup, feeling that it was not enough: "There is still oil..." The red one was not oil, it was clearly chili water.

After putting it in, Zhu Houzhao picked up the beef, put two pieces into Emperor Hongzhi's bowl, and then put one into his own bowl.

Zhu Houzhao said: "Father, my son will eat first."

He picked up the beef slices and put them in his mouth. Suddenly, a spicy and tender beef filled Zhu Houzhao's taste buds. He sniffed, chewed, and sucked in one go. His face was slightly red, and he raised his thumb: "It's delicious, so delicious."

Zhu Houzhao then looked at Emperor Hongzhi with a smile.

Zhu Houzhao has tasted this beef hotpot many times in the past few days. At the beginning, he was so spicy that he stuck out his tongue like a dog, panting heavily. Slowly, the more he ate, the more delicious he tasted. Today he added extra peppers to give his father a warning.

Emperor Hongzhi looked around and said, "Why don't you eat Fang Qing's family?"

"Oh, I'll eat, I'll eat." Fang Jifan raised his chopsticks and scalded beef.

Emperor Hongzhi slowly picked up the beef, and smiled at him. Zhu Houzhao stared at Emperor Hongzhi. Seeing that Emperor Hongzhi was a little red, he was still calm. Emperor Hongzhi chewed and swallowed the beef slowly. After a long time of silence, he kept nodding: "No, very good..."

Zhu Houzhao's eyes were straight, it wasn't right, it was obviously very spicy.

But when Emperor Hongzhi lowered his head again, he couldn't help but taste the second slice. He took another bite and said with a smile: "It's really a delicious food in the world, and it won't be exchanged for a thousand gold coins."

"..." Zhu Houzhao was a little confused.

What's going on? I tasted it in person, it's very spicy.

But the father...

Emperor Hongzhi picked up raw beef and began to scald Zhu Hou: "My son should be filial to his father. I already know that you are filial to me, but I should also love my son. This is called a blind date for father and son. Come on, I will burn you personally."

After scalding the beef, he looked at Zhu Houzhao with pity.

Zhu Houzhao ate it and ate it.

Although I have eaten it many times before, the spicy taste is both satisfying and dry mouth.

Fang Jifan was not greatly affected. He had a stronger ability to withstand spicy taste, so he simply didn't bother with the father and son, so he scalded his own body and hid aside to eat it.

After eating and drinking, everyone is sweating profusely.

Zhu Houzhao was a little disappointed inside.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "I have eaten very well for this meal. The prince has such filial piety. I accept your affection."

Zhu Houzhao had no choice but to say unhappy: "My son..."

"Okay, I should go back to the palace. The West Mountain is a good place to cultivate one's own character. It's a pity that I have too many things to be busy with. You can live here and take care of your country's government."

"My son follows the order."

Emperor Hongzhi left the Zhenguo Mansion and had already stopped sedan chairs outside. Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan followed him out and sent the emperor's carriage respectfully.

Emperor Hongzhi pulled down the curtain, and there was no one around, and then he suddenly stuck out his tongue.

So spicy.

The sedan chair got up and walked a little further. Emperor Hongzhi opened the curtain: "Parent Xiao, Parent Xiao... water, water..."

Xiao Jing was startled and thought he was poisoned. He hurriedly fetched the water. Emperor Hongzhi drank the water in the water bag and saw the bottom of his face. His face was still red and blue veins bulged.

Xiao Jing couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Your Majesty, why are you doing this? You just don't go."

Emperor Hongzhi said coldly: "Hmph, this time, the prince saved my life, and he should have saved me. But this guy has always been to take the right tail and bend to the sky. When he thought he was great, he would inevitably think that the truth was exposed in front of him, and he no longer felt awe in his heart. I went to the meeting today because I knew that he would play these tricks, not only did he expose him, but also made him feel uncomfortable, making him feel that I was unfathomable..."

"Water, get water."

Grudge, and pour water again.

To be honest, if you want to eat this spicy beef, you still have to hold it in, but you have to have great concentration to achieve it.

Fortunately, Emperor Hongzhi has always been the most cruel person to himself. Otherwise, why would he be determined to eat and sleep for ten years and be diligent in government affairs?

But after leaving Zhu Houzhao's sight, the water from these water capsules almost filled him, and he barely diluted the spicy taste in his mouth.

"What did Your Majesty eat? This thing is so terrible."

Emperor Hongzhi was still sitting in the sedan chair and was silent for a long time: "Actually... it was terrible when I was eating, but afterwards, I felt... it felt a little bit delicious."

“…”

"Next time, please ask Mr. Wen to make another pot, I still want to try it."

……………………

Zhu Houzhao watched the sedan chair gradually fade away, feeling disappointed.

Suddenly, I couldn't see through it. My father had eaten chili before, but it was wrong. I was recuperating before, so I couldn't eat this casually. If it wasn't for healing, I wouldn't have the courage to let my father eat this.

The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't figure it out, so he looked at Fang Jifan: "Lao Fang, my father is a bit unfathomable."

Fang Jifan naturally didn't want to tell Zhu Houzhao. In fact, when Emperor Hongzhi was happily eating beef slices, he twisted his thighs hard with one hand. Fang Jifan sat on Emperor Hongzhi's lower head and naturally saw it clearly.

I have to say that Your Majesty is really a person with great perseverance. He is cruel enough. He is a man and is close to Hunanese!

But at this moment, someone said inside: "It's not good, it's not good, Eunuch Liu... is crazy."

Liu Jin?

Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan rushed back to the Zhenguo Government Hall, but saw Liu Jin's eyes red, his tongue stretched out, and he was breathing. The remaining half-pot side stove was in a mess.

Liu Jin strangled his throat desperately, staggered and fell down with a thump.

"Your Highness, I will clean up the remaining soup with Eunuch Liu. Eunuch Liu greedily picked up a pot of soup and drank it..."

It's late, but it doesn't matter. Although it's past twelve o'clock, this is yesterday's fifth chapter.
