Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 371 is popular all over the world

   This group of skinny pigs... are all a group of pigs who have not yet broken away from vulgar tastes!

Just like people, eating and drinking are not the main meaning of their existence, but reproduction is. In order to reproduce, people can do without eating or drinking, and can spend a lot of meaningless time hooking up with each other, and even a lot of energy is spent on meaningless emotions.

   Such people... No, such pigs, they don’t grow meat, they exercise too much, often don’t want to eat and drink, think too much, and eat too little.

On the other side of the pigsty, it seemed much quieter. The big fat pigs were lying in the mud, unable to move, occasionally humming a few words, and then continued to turn over and fall asleep. If they were hungry, there was no need to scream. , some pig went to the stone trough by itself, ate it with grunts, then barely walked two steps, and then lay down again.

They obviously have no interest in this world except for eating and sleeping. They are like philosophers, like thinkers, always stingy with their physical strength, and have nothing to do except foraging Can make them move.

   Their size is obviously a few circles bigger, and they are full of fat. Most importantly, they are still very cute!

At this time, Fang Jifan talked eloquently: "Your Majesty, the pigs in this fat pigsty do not need special care at all. They are different from raising sheep and horses. Raising sheep requires a shepherd, and raising horses requires a groom. And these pigs , Even if there are a dozen or so, it is only necessary for someone to bring some food to feed them at the meal time, and there is no need to take them all over the mountains, which greatly saves manpower."

   "It's really unimaginable." Emperor Hongzhi looked at the pigs in the pigsty with piercing eyes, his face was full of joy!

  He no longer needs to ask people to weigh the pigs in the two circles. Just looking at the laziness of the fat pigs, one can almost imagine how much meat these pigs will provide.

Liu Jian and the others were also very excited. Apart from the fact that the pigsty was a bit dirty and they couldn't help but want to cover their noses, many of them even whispered in their hearts that they could study books after mastering the method of raising pigs. Let the family members in the village also raise a batch of such pigs. Even if the food is worthless, the meat...at least is worth money. No matter how you look at it, it is a huge profit.

Emperor Hongzhi let out a long breath, and then said: "Tuntian Qianhusuo is really an eye-opener for me. Well, this pig is not only fast-growing, easy to raise, but also delicious in quality. These pigs, you give me When the time comes, I will have my own reward."

  He was so excited that he wished he could rush into the pigsty and study it carefully.

  Fang Jifan smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

  Emperor Hongzhi looked at Liu Jian at this moment.

  At this moment, they all saw something different in each other's eyes.

  Tuntian Qianhusuo has become more and more important.

  …

   At this time, in the back room of Qianhusuo.

  Empress Zhang and Princess Taikang were sitting idle inside, and their meals had already been served. After all, they were female relatives, no matter how honorable they were, they must not show their faces easily.

   There was still a lot of noise outside, but gradually, there was no sound outside.

  Queen Zhang was slightly taken aback, what's the matter, she raised her eyes and glanced at the **** beside her.

  The accompanying **** nodded knowingly, then turned and walked out. It took a long time before he came back out of breath.

   "What's the matter, what happened?" Queen Zhang couldn't help asking when she saw that his expression was different.

  Zhu Xiurong also couldn't help feeling worried. She didn't make a sound, but listened attentively.

   "Your Majesty, Fang Jifan and the others... they went to see the pigs."

   "Looking at pigs?" Empress Zhang was a little confused. When did His Majesty have such an 'elegant interest'?

   "Not only that, after seeing the pig, His Majesty was overjoyed and praised Fang Jifan's well-raised pig, which is really beneficial to the country and the people.

   "..."

  Queen Zhang didn't know what to say.

   Zhu Xiurong on the side smiled and said: "Mother, this Fang Jifan can always please the father."

  Empress Zhang laughed dumbly. Although she didn't know what the pig had to do with benefiting the country and the people, it seemed that it was not a very important matter, so she took the chopsticks, and her eyes fell on the butchered pig dishes on the table.

   Obviously, I have never seen this dish before. Empress Zhang doesn't like meat. Could it be...is this pork?

  Empress Zhang ate pork when she was young. After all, she was not from a wealthy family. She never had a good impression of pork.

   But it seemed that His Majesty and Fang Jifan were concerned about pigs. Empress Zhang was still thinking about it, took a piece of meat, and said, "This Fang Jifan is not just to please your father?"

  After hearing this, Zhu Xiurong felt as if he had been touched by something, a blush flew up his face, and it went straight to the ears!

  Her pretty face was full of embarrassment, as if her queen mother had discovered a big secret, she muttered, not knowing what to say, and finally had to lower her head at a loss.

  Yu Bo from the corner of Queen Zhang's eyes glanced at his daughter, and continued to say calmly: "Look, doesn't he like your imperial brother very much?"

  Zhu Xiurong was startled, then heaved a sigh of relief, but became even more embarrassed.

   But who knows the next moment, Empress Zhang closed her eyes slightly, and Empress Zhang chewed the pork lightly. After a while, she took a silk handkerchief and wiped the corners of her lips, saying: "It smells so good."

"Is it tasty?"

  Zhu Xiurong opened his eyes wide curiously, and actually smiled, revealing the naive attitude of a girl: "My son eats too."

   "Meat is greasy after all, so don't eat too much." Empress Zhang kindly instructed.

  ………

   This meal was almost the most delicious meal that Emperor Hongzhi ate!

   Not only because the pig-killing dish made him physically and mentally happy, but more importantly, the mashed potatoes on the table were also dug out by himself. This inexplicable sense of accomplishment made him feel strange.

  I am the Son of Heaven. Is it possible for the king to make decisions that affect the lives and fortunes of thousands of people in the world. Why do I feel a special satisfaction because of this trivial matter?

  He couldn't give himself an answer to this delicate psychology, but it didn't matter.

   Pork is delicious and that's enough.

"Fang Qing's pigs are raised very well." Emperor Hongzhi continued: "It seems that in a few years, this pig raising will become popular all over the world, but... this pig's name is indecent, and it will still be called a porpoise in the future. Remember it all, and it will be transcribed into the residence newspaper."

  This is not indecent, think about this dish of killing pigs, killing pigs every day, from now on the whole world will call it like this, Emperor Hongzhi can't accept it.

   Therefore, it has to be called Shafucai.

   "Your Majesty is wise, and I also think it is indecent. Calling it a dolphin sounds much better at once. This pig has been called a dolphin since ancient times. I don't know which commoner actually named it after a pig. I..."

   "Okay, okay." Emperor Hongzhi hiccupped: "I'm here to sit down with all the ministers, you go to see the princess."

  Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, I... I don't know if I should say something or not."

   "It doesn't hurt to say it."

Fang Jifan coughed and said, "His Royal Highness's brain disease has been attacking more and more frequently recently, which is really worrying! Recently, I found out that in this Xishan, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, doing some work within one's ability has a great effect on this brain disease." The advantage, I was thinking, if Her Royal Highness wants to return for a follow-up consultation, it is better to be relaxed and happy. There is a lake at the southern foot, so it may be better to see Her Highness there, but... I am an upright person, the so-called men and women do not know each other. , I was thinking, I definitely can't go alone with His Highness the Princess, if so, who would I be? How about... Your Majesty accompanying me?"

  When he said these words, Fang Jifan felt a little nervous.

  If Emperor Hongzhi saw something and knew that he was planning on Zhu Xiurong, he might have made a killing dish today.

  Of course, although Fang Jifan invited Emperor Hongzhi to go with him, he actually thought carefully. With so many courtiers here, how could His Majesty be able to leave?

  Empress Zhang, after all, is also a female family member, so it might be inappropriate to follow her to Nanlu.

  So in the final result, it is very likely that Emperor Hongzhi ordered Nanny Liu to accompany him. He was not afraid of Nanny Liu at all, and he happened to go for a walk by the lake with the princess to relax.

  Hmph, this young master has planned for a long time, this is a godsend opportunity.

  Actually speaking, the princess lived in the deep palace for a long time. Except for the rich clothes and fine food, such a life was no different from being in prison. Fang Jifan thought about it by chance, and couldn't help but feel sorry for Zhu Xiurong!

  At this time, Emperor Hongzhi was slightly taken aback, shook his head and said: "I have been busy for a day, and I am already tired, why not... let the prince accompany you..."

   "My son complies with the order." Zhu Houzhao was gearing up, looking eager to try: "Father, don't worry, my son will definitely stay with my sister for a long time. My sister hasn't been with my son for many days..."

   "..."

  Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao, feeling speechless.

  What does this... have to do with you?

  …

  The lake is sparkling.

  Zhu Houzhao's feet were in the mud on the lake bed, catching loach excitedly, turning his head from time to time and saying: "Old Fang, don't walk around, just stay here and see a doctor."

   "I understand." Fang Jifan forced a smile, and then the smile gradually disappeared.

  He could feel that Zhu Houzhao, who was catching the loach, would look here from time to time, and that gaze was like lightning.

  Fang Jifan put his hands behind his back, and looked like Liu Xiahui who was sitting calmly. He smiled reservedly at Zhu Xiurong and said, "Your Highness, are you cold?"

   "Not cold." Zhu Xiurong was wearing a cloak lined with fleece, and murmured, "Are you... cold?"

  Fang Jifan shook his head and said: "It's not cold, I asked His Highness to come out for a walk more, because the scenery here is of great benefit to His Highness."

  Zhu Xiurong looked at Fang Jifan's face of never being shocked by honor or disgrace, and felt slightly drunk. She thought for a while and said, "I... am not afraid of dirty..."

   "What?" Fang Jifan stared at Zhu Xiurong intently, puzzled.

  Zhu Xiurong couldn't help laughing: "I mean, I'm not afraid of dirt, and I can also raise pigs."

  ...

  It’s still early today. Well, today the tiger asked for the monthly ticket confidently. Seeing that the tiger is so hardworking, he should be encouraged. Well, if you have a ticket, you can smash it as much as you want, and the tiger will continue!
