"The duck blood soup is here, be careful. Old Wu, it's yours. Xiao Wu, this is yours!"
Soon after, Widow Ma appeared with two portions of duck blood soup and placed it in front of them.
"Okay!" Lao Zhu said and started to move.
Zhu Xiongying also started to eat.
"Xiao Wu, how does it taste?" Widow Ma asked with a smile.
"Lao Wu's one has a lot of spice added to it, but yours doesn't have much!"
"Hahaha, yes, but I think you can add more, and pair it with sesame seed cakes, it will be delicious!" Zhu Xiongying also drank and said.
"Haha, okay, here's this for you, you can add as much as you want!" Widow Ma got the spicy food and said.
"Okay!" With that said, Zhu Xiongying added it himself, adjusting the taste.
"Widow Ma, there's no one around at this time, sit down and have something to eat!" Lao Zhu suddenly waved and said.
"Huh? There really isn't anyone there. Hey, I need to rest for a while!" Widow Ma said and sat down.
"Sister, how is business lately?" Lao Zhu asked with a smile.
"Bah, you're such a shameless old man, you call me big sister?" Widow Ma scolded.
"Haha, okay, let's call you Widow Ma!" Lao Zhu didn't care about this and said with a smile.
"Hmph!" Widow Ma snorted and said immediately,
"It's not bad, I can sell dozens of coins here in a day!"
Widow Ma also knew that the person in front of her was probably here to inquire about some news.
Widow Ma herself did not know the identity of Old Wutou.
But even though she didn't know many words and didn't have much knowledge, she opened such a stall.
And it was still in Yingtian Mansion. This person was greeted and dropped off every day, so he saw a lot of people. Even though Old Wu Tou dresses like this every time, he still knows that Old Wu Tou is not a simple person.
Ba Cheng is some kind of official, and there is also the Xiao Wu I brought here before, not the one in front of me.
That middle-aged man was, well, in his thirties. In ancient times, he could be said to be middle-aged, and there were many who called themselves me.
Although like Lao Zhu, he was not very well dressed, he still talked and laughed with them and could make all kinds of jokes.
But it can also be seen that he is not a simple person.
However, Widow Ma didn't ask for anything from them. In Yingtian Mansion, Mr. Hongwu made the decision for them, so they had nothing to fear.
And as time went by, even though she knew they were not simple, Widow Ma regarded them as her regular customers and friends.
Sometimes, when chatting with Old Wu Tou, they would talk about things in the market, and Widow Ma was happy to do so.
"Haha, that's pretty good. You can collect dozens of them, which is enough for your family to live on. Yes, it's pretty good!" Lao Zhu said with a smile.
"Well, that's really good!" Widow Ma also smiled and said,
"It's thanks to Mr. Hongwu that he has always thought about us mud-legged people, so that we can have the life we have now!"
"Besides, I'm planning to let my two cows go to private school!"
"People of our age are lucky to have met such a good emperor as Mr. Hongwu!"
What he said made Lao Zhu keep squinting his eyes.
With such a proud look, it was hard not to make Zhu Xiongying wonder whether Lao Zhu liked coming here so much because of Widow Ma's praise.
There is nothing better than the reputation of ordinary people.
The next words of Widow Ma made Zhu Xiongying say, "It's so delicious!"
"And I heard that the current emperor's grandson is also very good!"
"He was personally selected by our old man Hongwu. The next emperor will also be someone who has us mud-legged people in mind!"
"It is said that last time, those big men beat us idiots, so we gave them a severe lesson!"
"And we also gave compensation to those who were beaten!"
"Hey, all the big guys are saying, it would have been better if we had been beaten ourselves!"
"You can still get so much compensation!" Widow Ma said with a smile.
"Hahaha!" Zhu Xiongying also laughed.
"Xiao Wu, don't laugh, this is how we, the mud-legged people, live!"
"If there is really a chance to get so much compensation after being beaten, I estimate that many people will like it and be willing to do it!" Widow Ma said.
"Yeah, if that's possible, I'd like it too!" Zhu Xiongying also smiled.
"Look, I just said it!" Widow Ma also laughed.
"Haha, yes!" Zhu Xiongying laughed.
"By the way, Widow Ma!" Lao Zhu suddenly became mysterious and said.
"What's wrong?" Looking at Lao Zhu's appearance, Widow Ma asked cautiously.
"Hey, you little horse widow, the people in our family are much prettier than you!" Lao Zhu scolded with a smile.
"Humph, I still look down upon you!" Widow Ma scolded,
"Tell me, what's going on?"
"It's those rumors from the past few days, about..." As he said that, Lao Zhu pointed to the sky.
"Old Wu Tou, you are going to die!" Widow Ma was frightened. She immediately looked at Lao Zhu and whispered,
"Is this something we should talk about?"
"Didn't you hear what Mr. Hongwu and our great grandson said?"
"Those people are all bad people, people who want to destroy our peaceful life!"
"We can't continue talking about this, otherwise we will... click!"
Widow Ma said, gesturing on her neck with her hand.
"Then what do you think..." Lao Zhu continued to ask.
"Old Wutou, what are you saying? If it weren't for the fact that you are my old customer, I would have reported you directly."
"I can still get some money, salt and food!" Widow Ma said.
"I said Old Wu Tou, could you be..." As she said that, Widow Ma became suspicious.
"Haha, aunt, where did you think you were!" Zhu Xiongying said with a smile,
"My aunt must have noticed that my grandfather's identity is no longer simple, right?"
"Nonsense!" Widow Ma rolled her eyes and said,
"They look just like us mud-legged ones, but their faces are red every day!"
"And someone who can help me deal with those ruffians is not a simple person!"
"You can make those ruffians scared, you have an official status, right?"
"And you have such an eldest grandson!"
"Haha, that's my aunt's insight!" Zhu Xiongying said with a smile,
"My grandfather followed Mr. Hongwu back then. Now that the world is at peace, he has become a minor official!"
"But I'm close to Mr. Hongwu!"
"Auntie, you also said that Mr. Hongwu cares about us Mudlegs... Bah, the common people!"
"So someone needs to come down from time to time, take a look, and go back and talk to Mr. Hongwu!"
"I asked my aunt this time because I wanted to go back and talk about it!" Zhu Xiongying explained.
"Really? Can you really meet Mr. Hongwu and his great-grandson?"
"How is the old man's health?" Widow Ma asked tremblingly, feeling a little excited.
"Haha, of course, and the old man also knows about you. Otherwise, why don't you ask my grandpa where he heard it?"
"My grandpa can only tell me that he heard it from his aunt!" Zhu Xiongying said with a smile.
"Oh my God, Amitabha Buddha, the sky is full of gods and Buddhas, my dear mother, your ancestor has been honored!"
"Hahaha, after I go back, I actually said that I will start a new page in my family's genealogy from my side!"
"Hahaha!" Widow Ma was a little crazy.
"Auntie, auntie, don't get excited, don't get excited!" Zhu Xiongying felt the attention of people around him and said quickly.
"Hmm, not excited, not excited!" Although Widow Ma said this, how could she not be excited.
"By the way, how is the old man's health? If I ask again, Old Wu, you must say hello for me!"
"We ordinary people recognize Mr. Hongwu and his grandson now!" Widow Ma said.
"Haha, okay!" Lao Zhu was really happy today.
"That's good, okay, let's eat today. Seeing how hard you have worked, I won't charge you any money today!" Widow Ma said grandly.
"Really not charging anymore?" Lao Zhu was surprised and asked.
"Nonsense, I'm happy today!"
