As Su Jing continued to add ingredients to the pot, delicious dishes appeared quickly.
Although it is definitely not as good as the royal meal in the palace, it has a sense of participation, and these princes feel it is very delicious just looking at it.
Everyone couldn't wait to have a taste, but Queen Ma's eyes stopped them one by one.
The food is not on the table and cannot be eaten.
This is basic etiquette.
After Zhu Yuanzhang finished eating the mooncakes in the front hall, he wandered around the house when he saw no one.
According to Zhu Biao's letters, he also knew the basic structure of the house.
In just a few steps, he arrived at Zhu Biao's room.
Apart from the desk, bookshelf and bed, there are no big items.
The pen and paper on the desk have not been put away yet, and what Zhu Biao wrote last night is still there.
Lao Zhu was a little interested and walked directly to the table to take a look.
"Huh? What is this?"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned just after taking a look.
Because there is a picture drawn on the paper, which is a force analysis diagram of a lever.
This is the homework Su Jing left for Zhu Biao.
Of course, for Zhu Yuanzhang, it was a pure heavenly book.
I can't understand it at all.
Except that the picture shows it is a pole, nothing else is clear.
Although Zhu Biao recognized the characters written by Zhu Biao, he did not recognize them when they were put together.
Is this what Biaoer is learning now?
Zhu Yuanzhang looked solemn and confused in his heart.
He doubted the use of such a thing.
Wouldn't Su Jing lead Zhu Biao into a path of uncanny skills?
Zhu Biao is the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty. How can he use his mind in these places?
When Zhu Yuanzhang thought of this, he felt that this matter was quite inappropriate.
But the guess based on just one picture seems to have insufficient evidence.
The most important thing is that Lao Zhu himself can't understand it.
Without much thought, Zhu Yuanzhang directly collected Zhu Biao's half-finished question and put it in his arms.
He also carefully looked around to make sure no one noticed him.
He's just like a thief.
Those who didn’t know thought Lao Zhu was stealing some secrets.
After taking away Zhu Biao's question, Old Zhu didn't stay any longer and hurriedly left the room.
He was about to go to the next room, Zhu Biao's room, but just as he was leaving, Zhu Biao's voice came:
"Father, it's time to eat."
Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to temporarily give up the idea of angering Zhu Rui's room and quickly appeared in the front hall.
A huge Eight Immortals table is filled with various dishes.
The princes and Queen Ma sat around, and the top position was reserved for Zhu Yuanzhang.
There are no very complicated dishes, and the ones Su Jing knows are more homely.
But the princes were all salivating because there were some dishes that they had never seen before.
For example, vegetables such as tomato scrambled eggs are only slightly popular in Lishui County.
The unknown is the biggest attraction for children.
"Eat whatever you want, no need to be formal."
Su Jing said to everyone.
He is actually a person who likes fun. Even if he cooks for Lao Zhu, he doesn't do it just for etiquette.
Just to enjoy the atmosphere.
Otherwise, it would be simpler and less troublesome to take them to Jinling Hotel for a meal.
"Master, come and eat."
Queen Ma greeted Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang is the biggest here. If he doesn't move his chopsticks, no one else would dare.
"Um."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, reached out and took a chopstick of shredded potatoes and put it into his mouth.
And as he ate, the princes began to move anxiously one by one.
"Mr. Su, thank you for your hard work. Eat more."
Queen Ma said to Su Jing.
"Madam is interested."
Su Jing nodded slightly, and then said to Zhu Biao: "Niu Yi, you can go and hand out the things."
"Yes, Master Su."
Zhu Biao nodded slightly and then stood up directly.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this situation, he immediately asked: "Boss, what are you going to do?"
Zhu Biao replied: "Reporting to my father, Master Su and Hai'er made a lot of mooncakes before. Considering that the servants followed, it is considered a holiday to give them some mooncakes."
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly and said: "Okay, you go."
This kind of thing is a good way to win people's hearts, and Zhu Yuanzhang will naturally not refuse.
"Yes, father."
Zhu Biao left casually.
Queen Ma looked at Su Jing and said, "Mr. Su is so attentive. I would like to thank Mr. Su on their behalf."
Zhu Yuanzhang also said: "Su Jing, I can't believe that you are very thoughtful. This is really good."
Su Jing smiled and said: "It's just a casual thing. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, it's never wrong to show some concern."
At the dinner table, Su Jing and Lao Zhu did not start fighting again. They seemed to understand that harmony was the first priority during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
However, the situation of the princes is quite different.
Zhu Ji seemed to be a small encyclopedia, introducing the dishes on the table to the other brothers and sisters.
Not just the names, but also the growth habits of the raw materials.
It attracted admiration from other princes.
Zhu Jing has not been with Su Jing for a long time, but in terms of thinking, he seems to have crushed them.
It wasn't that Su Jing taught him much novel knowledge, but that he taught him scientific thinking.
Lunch ended quickly. In the Ming Dynasty, lunch was not the most formal meal, so it was not so particular. Su Jing didn't even bring out the wine.
Queen Ma took care of the dishes and chopsticks with a smile. Although there were a lot of dishes and chopsticks, she didn't ask her servants to come in to help clean them.
Since Su Jing has no servants in his family, and even he himself cooks, he should also do it himself.
Queen Ma does not regard herself as a queen now, but Zhu Biao is sensible and takes the initiative to come over and help Queen Ma clean up.
In the small courtyard.
Su Jing and Zhu Yuanzhang were sitting on stools next to the stone table, and the princes stood on both sides, looking a little reserved.
Although his identity cannot be revealed outside, Zhu Yuanzhang's majesty cannot be eliminated with a word.
And the boss Zhu Biao was not here, so they didn't dare to make any move.
"Uncle, you must be very strict with your sons."
Su Jing said lightly.
The princes were afraid of Lao Zhu, but Su Jing didn't feel too much.
"Su Jing, why did you say that?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was full and in a much better mood.
Su Jing smiled and said: "You are celebrating this big festival. Look at them. They are all standing behind you and motionless like wooden figures. Apart from being afraid of you, is there any other reason?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked back and saw that it was exactly what Su Jing said.
Thinking that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, his face softened a lot and he said: "Okay, you can do whatever you want, just don't run too far."
"Yes, father!"
The princes replied respectfully, and then began to have fun.
Although Su Jing's yard is small, there are still many interesting gadgets.
Under the leadership of Zhu Xi, all the princes soon found what they were interested in.
"That's right. You should be happy during the holidays."
Su Jing nodded and said, in his eyes, these are all still children.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Su Jing, I heard the boss say a lot of things. You made a great contribution to the last disaster relief grain corruption case."
Now that everyone is here, Zhu Yuanzhang speaks much more directly.
"It's just a coincidence, it's nothing."
Su Jing said lightly, not really caring.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Su Jing, as if he wanted to see whether Su Jing really didn't care or whether he pretended not to care.
If this kind of thing were made public, it would definitely be praised by many people.
This is a great reputation.
Su Jing has enough money, but does she really not want the name?
But no matter how you look at it, you can't see through Su Jing's thoughts.
"Su Jing, I envy you very much. In this small courtyard, you have nothing to worry about."
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed slightly.
As an emperor, he holds supreme power, but at the same time he also shoulders extremely heavy responsibilities.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked like an iron man, but he also felt tired sometimes.
Su Jing glanced at Lao Zhu and said: "Uncle, you are just talking. You are not the same type of person as me at all. You will not be able to live my life if I give it to you."
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said in surprise: "Su Jing, what do you mean by this? Why am I not the same person as you?"
He and Su Jing didn't meet many times. Could it be that Su Jing already knew his identity?
Lao Zhu was surprised in his heart.
Su Jing said calmly: "It's very simple, you are the parent of a chicken baby."
Chicken baby?
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little confused and didn't understand what he meant at all: "Su Jing, what on earth are you talking about?"
Su Jing explained: "You are very strict with your sons and pay great attention to training them, especially Niu Yi. You pay special attention to them."
"If you really want to be like me, do you need to be so harsh on your sons?"
"I know your family has a big business, but you won't let it go even if you don't want to, so you and I are not the same kind of people at all."
As soon as Su Jing explained this, Zhu Yuanzhang understood.
He didn't refute, just asked: "Su Jing, what do you mean, you can let go of these properties of yours at will?"
"Well, of course, I won't bring you alive or dead."
Su Jing replied firmly.
As a modern person who was reborn through time, Su Jing's sense of belonging is not that strong.
Engaging in business to make money is just to make yourself live a better and more comfortable life.
These things, just like game account data, are useful, but not necessary.
"Doesn't it matter if your descendants can't inherit it?"
Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ask with questioning eyes.
Su Jing smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I don't care."
Zhu Yuanzhang was really silenced now. After a while, he shook his head and said, "I don't believe it."
The son inheriting his father's legacy has been around since ancient times.
No matter how confident and truthful Su Jing acted, Lao Zhu still didn't believe it.
"If you don't believe it, it's up to you, it's not important anyway."
Su Jing didn't even think about arguing, it was her own business anyway.
The two chatted for a few more words, and Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Su Jing, I know you are familiar with number theory. I have a question here. Do you dare to solve it?"
"Oh, what's the question? Show it to me."
Su Jing became interested and asked.
Lao Zhu's math problem is a bit interesting.
Zhu Yuanzhang was not in a hurry and said: "It's no fun to just solve the problem. In this way, if you can solve it in a stick of incense, I promise you a request. If you can't solve it, you promise me a request."
Also bring bets.
Su Jing immediately became vigilant, frowned and looked at Lao Zhu and said: "Then if I don't come, you will definitely dig a hole for me."
Promise one thing, which is too broad.
Su Jing is a person who believes in promises, and he doesn't want to agree to this kind of thing casually.
Lao Zhu was stunned. He didn't expect Su Jing to give up so decisively. For a moment, he didn't know what to do.
But when he thought of Xu Da and Chang Yuchun's request, he continued: "Su Jing, are you afraid now?"
If you just say no, then use the provoking method.
However, this was of no use to Su Jing. Su Jing just said calmly: "Then just think that I am afraid."
Just kidding, Su Jing's business world was ups and downs in her previous life, how could this method work.
Zhu Yuanzhang was really convinced, and Su Jing refused to take it hard.
"Su Jing, how can you promise me?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked helplessly.
Su Jing said calmly: "As long as there are no conditions, or you can just tell me what I will do if I lose."
Su Jing would never end up in a bet where the stakes were uncertain.
"I see."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, and then said: "Well, my requirements are not high. If you lose, make me a few more telescopes, the kind that can see further."
telescope?
This time it was Su Jing's turn to be surprised. He did not expect that the purpose of Lao Zhu's circle was actually a telescope.
This is quite simple.
"Okay, I'll take this bet."
Su Jing nodded.
Zhu Yuanzhang added: "I'm not talking about the ordinary telescope, but the one you made with your own hands and can see farther."
Since Su Jing must know about the bet, Lao Zhu is also afraid that Su Jing will lose and take advantage of the loophole.
"no problem."
Su Jing nodded and said, "What's the question? Let's talk about it."
Zhu Yuanzhang took out a piece of paper from his arms. It was the question that Kaos had asked before, and it was the question that Zhu Han had written down.
"That's it. Please take your time to solve it. It only takes a stick of incense."
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.
Regarding this question, Zhu Yuanzhang is quite confident.
Because he asked not only Kaos, but also some academic officers of the main hall.
Although there are some that can be solved, it takes a long time. In one stick of incense, Zhu Yuanzhang is confident that Su Jing cannot solve it.
Su Jing took the paper, glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Uncle, is this the question?"
"Well, that's it."
Lao Zhu nodded, but he hadn't noticed the change in Su Jing's face.
Su Jing smiled and said: "Then you don't need to time it."
?
Lao Zhu was stunned, looked at Su Jing and said, "Why, are you giving up now?"
Although he was very confident about this question, Lao Zhu didn't think it was enough for Su Jing to give up without trying.
Su Jing shook her head and said: "Of course I'm not admitting defeat, it's just that this question is too simple and boring."
"Isn't it possible? This question is easy?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said with an expression of disbelief.
Su Jing didn't directly report the answer. He just shouted: "Niu Su, come on."
Hearing this, Zhu Rui quickly came to the two of them, along with other princes who came out of curiosity.
"Master Su, what's the matter?"
Zhu Ru asked.
Su Jing pushed the paper forward and said, "I'll give you half a stick of incense to solve this problem and tell your father the answer."
