Daming: At the beginning, recognize Zhu Yuanzhang as grandfather!

Chapter 13
"Grandpa, you are here!"

Huang Xiongying opened the door, looked at the benign old man outside the door, and said with a smile.

The old man seemed extraordinarily loving today.

After seeing Huang Xiongying, his eyes, which were a little cloudy due to the weather, turned into a layer of fog, staring straight at Huang Xiongying's heroic face.

For a while, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.

It's been ten years.

After ten years, his beloved grandson miraculously returned.

Zhu Biao's departure seemed to drain the old man's heart, making him gloomy, irritable and suspicious.

But the return of the great grandson made his already dry heart seem to gradually become moist...

"grandfather?"

Huang Xiongying called softly: "What's the matter? You look preoccupied."

"Oh--"

Zhu Yuanzhang woke up suddenly, with a loving smile on his face: "It's okay, son, let's go into the house."

Enter the house.

Huang Xiongying asked Zhu Yuanzhang to sit down and said with a smile:

"Grandpa, sit down first, today, let's eat dumplings!"

"What a good thing, you still eat whole dumplings?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile.

"The dumplings will be ready in a while, let me tell you while eating!"

Huang Xiongying walked into the kitchen while talking.

"Hey, are you still close with us?"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and stood up: "Let's help you. When your grandma made dumplings, we rolled the noodles for you."

Inside the kitchen.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Hongwu, cooked the kitchen himself.

Zhu Yuanzhang rolled up his sleeves, his thick hands touching his face.

Huang Xiongying at the side was skillfully chopping minced pork, and said with a smile, "Old man, I didn't expect you to be quite professional in this technique!"

"That's not!"

Zhu Yuanzhang wiped the Hanshui on his forehead with the back of his hand: "We used to be able to eat a meal of dumplings only during the Chinese New Year. Then your grandma and grandpa would not be willing to eat them, and they would all be eaten for us. Unfortunately, later Ah, they're all starving to death, they haven't enjoyed a day, ah—"

The old man let out a long sigh.

"grandfather……"

Huang Xiongying looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who looked a little lonely, and comforted him: "It's all caused by the dog days of the world. It's better now, with Emperor Hongwu here, our days will be better and better."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up, showing a complacent and proud look.

Our eldest grandson praised us!

Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy, and said with a smile: "So, do you think Mr. Hong Wu is a good emperor?"

As he said that, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Huang Xiongying intentionally or unintentionally, obviously he was very concerned about the latter's opinion.

In fact, this is the second time the old man asked this question. Huang Xiongying had already answered it before, but at that time the answer was very cryptic.

The old man was very happy at that time.

Now, the old man grinned again when he heard himself praising Emperor Hongwu.

It seems that this grandfather of mine is a loyal fan of the old emperor Hongwu.

Thinking of this, Huang Xiongying also wanted to make the old man happy, so that he would not always be immersed in the sad past, which is not good.

Huang Xiongying smiled and said, "Master Hongwu, he is not only a good emperor, but also the most righteous emperor in our Chinese history!"

"Oh?"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly stopped what he was doing, and looked at Huang Xiongying with bright eyes: "How do you say that?"

This was the first time he had heard this statement.

Seeing the old man's full of interest, Huang Xiongying talked eloquently:

"The Han nationality has been considered the orthodox of China since ancient times, and the surrounding ethnic minorities are local barbarians. Therefore, the Mongols and Yuan people destroyed the Song Dynasty and unified the world, which was considered by the orthodox culture of the Han family as the fall of civilization. Therefore, there is no China after Yashan."

"The old emperor Hongwu was born in the Han people, and took back the world from the Mongols. This form of taking the world is the salvation of orthodox civilization. The form of his seizure of the country can be said to be incomparably righteous. This is one of them."

"Secondly, Emperor Hongwu won the world by defeating the Mengyuan people not by tricks and tricks, but through an upright duel on the battlefield. The way is upright, the winner is king and loser. From this point of view, Emperor Hongwu's seizure of the country is extremely righteous!"

"The third point is that after Emperor Hongwu seized the world, the livelihood of the people in the world declined. Emperor Hongwu was extremely strict with officials, but he paid attention to resting with the people, seeking benefits for the people, and not harming the people. As a result, the world quickly stabilized and won the support of the people. Support, consolidate the regime, and the world will return!"

After Huang Xiongying finished speaking, she turned to look at the old man.

However, he found that the old man was frozen there as if he had been given a body-holding technique, his eyes staring at himself.

Huang Xiongying scratched his head and asked softly, "Grandpa, is there something wrong with what I said?"

"Good! Well said!"

The old man suddenly let out a loud drink, which made Huang Xiongying jump.

It really is iron powder.

Huang Xiongying glanced at the excited old man:
"It's a lot of age, why are you so excited, people who don't know, think you are Emperor Hongwu!"

"hey-hey--"

The old man chuckled like a child who got candied fruit: "We are happy!"

"Why are you happy, make noodles, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to eat this dumpling in the dark!"

"Okay, let's listen to our grandson!"

The old man rolled up his sleeves even higher, and it felt more energetic when he made his face.

Soon.

The dumpling wrappers and stuffing are ready.

Leek Pork Stuffing!
The old man likes to eat this, it is delicious.

Grandfather and grandson work together, Zhu Yuanzhang is in charge of making dumplings, and Huang Xiongying is in charge of cooking and making fried dumplings.

In a big iron pot.

Huang Xiongying drizzled the yellow-orange-orange lard evenly, and then put the wrapped dumplings into the pot one by one.

Cover the pot and after a while start watering around the perimeter of the pot.

Take your time.

After lifting the lid of the pot, the fried dumplings are golden brown, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and the aroma is mixed with hot air.

Seeing Huang Xiongying's skills as proficient as Empress Ma, Zhu Yuanzhang was in a daze for a while.

This is the grandson of the emperor's grandson of the Ming Dynasty!

these years.

Is this how this kid came here?

Judging by his skillful craftsmanship, I am afraid that he has been so self-reliant in the past ten years.

Especially after his father died, he had to carry everything alone, right?

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't feel distressed, but felt a burst of pride.

What a seedling!

Even after ten years of wild growth outside, not only did it not grow crooked, but it also grew very straight.

This child is the unicorn of my old Zhu family!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes turned red unconsciously, God did not treat his old Zhu family badly, he took one away, and sent another back...

"Try one?"

Huang Xiongying asked while putting the fried dumplings on the plate.

"it is good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about many, he grabbed one and put it in his mouth.

"Hot, be careful!"

Huang Xiongying turned her back and gave instructions.

But Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't care so much.

The entire dumpling was put into his mouth, and he bit down in one bite.

The outer skin is crispy, and the leek and pork filling juice inside explodes instantly, full of happiness.

It seems to be back to the days when I went to the landlord’s house to return the cattle on New Year’s Eve, and ran all the way back to steal dumplings...

Huang Xiongying turned around, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who had tears in his eyes, shook his head and said:
"I told you it's hot, why are you in such a hurry to eat?"

"Come here, drink some water."

Zhu Yuanzhang took the water and drank it in one gulp, with a satisfied expression on his face.

At this time, he has completely lost the appearance of Emperor Hongwu, and is completely the appearance of an old man doting on his grandson.

"Delicious! After your grandma left, we haven't eaten such delicious dumplings for many years!"

The pride on Zhu Yuanzhang's face...
