Chapter 42: Analysis Like a Cannonball

  The culinary skills from now on are truly extraordinary, Liu Zheng chewed for a few moments, and the whole person was excited, then quickly eliminated the food in his hand, and reached out to grab again.

  Jiang Feng suddenly became anxious and shouted loudly:

  "My goodness, don't move, you scoundrel! Don't you know what politeness is?"

  But looking at the scolding is not a solution, so I took the chopsticks and followed to grab it. In fact, after coming to the Ming Dynasty, people who can be so open-minded about themselves, Jiang Feng is still the first one he has encountered. Other people are either afraid, such as Su's sisters, or grateful, such as Zhao Xiucan, or contemptuous, such as Liu Xueshi and Guan Jia.

  Although Liu Zheng in front of him was just a house servant, he was very open-minded and not nervous at all, which made Jiang Feng feel quite comfortable.

  Two people were there, loudly scrambling for the chicken wings on the hand warmer, with less than ten chicken wings, not enough for two people to eat. After a while, only bones were left. Arriving at Liu Xueshi's home was almost noon, Jiang Feng ate a few chicken wings and his stomach was not full.

  Instead, I got even hungrier. There were originally two white-faced buns in my pocket, which I took out and placed on the hand warmer to toast. The oil from the roasted chicken wings was still there, so I put the buns on top of it, and the oil was all absorbed. With the flames rising from below, the aroma of the buns became even more enticing.

  Liu Zheng originally didn't pay much attention to the buns being baked, but as they were roasted for a while and the aroma came out, his eyes lit up again. He stared intently at them, making Jiang Feng feel uneasy. Sure enough, Liu Zheng quickly snatched a bun and took a bite. The flavor was naturally fragrant and crispy. In modern barbecue stalls, when roasting buns or baked potatoes, they brush the oil that has dripped down onto the surface of the roasted food, and then sprinkle seasonings on top. With the aroma of the oil and the charcoal fire, how could it not be delicious?

  Three mouthfuls, two mouthfuls down the belly, Jiang Feng hadn't even eaten half full yet. He picked up the gourd hanging from his waist and gulped down a few mouthfuls of fruit juice. Liu Zheng's tongue was still lingering with an unfulfilled craving, watching Jiang Feng drink, and at this moment, it had also become a habit to be generous, stretching out his hand to grab the gourd.

  Jiang Feng held a ring in one hand and flashed it on one side, feeling quite interesting. He pointed at the mouth of the gourd with his finger and said:

  "Hey little brother, there's my saliva on this, aren't you disgusted?"

  Liu Zheng furrowed his brow, then burst out laughing and replied:

  "We're all men, we don't care about this."

  This heroic remark, Jiang Feng's heart secretly cheered, and he directly threw the gourd in his hand over to Liu Zheng. Liu Zheng stretched out his hand to catch it and put it up to his nose to take a sniff. Instantly, a joyful expression appeared on his face. He picked up the gourd, first pouring a bit onto the ground, then tilted his head back to drink. Meanwhile, Jiang Feng watched as he almost fainted from holding his breath.

  Although he said it was fine and didn't mind the dirt, Liu Zhengxian first rinsed the calabaza mouth with juice from inside the calabaza, then when he tilted his head to drink, the calabaza mouth and his own mouth kept a distance of about half an inch, so that not a single drop of juice would accidentally spill.

  The bright red juice flowed down Liu Zhengxiu's long, white neck, and Jiang Feng looked at it in a daze, until the gourd was smashed over there, he finally came to his senses. Jiang Feng tentatively opened his mouth to ask:

  "I asked little brother, are you male or female?"

  Liu Zheng, who was wiping his neck with his hand on that side, suddenly turned red and said in a rough tone:

  "Men and women should not be too familiar with each other, if it's a woman, she won't live in the same small room as you."

  After finishing, he patted his own belly contentedly, apparently full and satisfied. He then looked at Jiang Feng with a puzzled expression and opened his mouth to say:

  "You're really a strange person, are you a brocade guard or a cook? These few small dishes may be simple, but they're actually more delicious than those big households' cooks."

  Jiang Feng, who was very careless, didn't notice the flaws in his opponent's words. In modern times, his craftsmanship is ordinary, and no one praises him. However, in the Ming dynasty, relying on these small tricks, many people praised his cooking skills. He couldn't help but feel proud in his heart, and with a pretentious tone, he said:

  "Of course I am a Brocade Guard."

  After finishing, he took out the waist card again, swayed it a little, and then lay down on the broken bed, trying to make himself comfortable. In his mind, he was considering whether the decoration in Huifeng Building would have a good effect or not. He didn't notice Liu Zheng moving the broken chair forward with a eager face and asking:

  "Brother Jin Yiwei, I heard our master say that you know everything, is that true?"

  Jiang Feng didn't catch the sarcasm at all and replied with his eyes closed, looking very pleased with himself:

  "Naturally, with brocade-clad guards investigating all over the world, nothing can escape our eyes."

  "Then... Brother Jin Yiwei, may I ask you something?"

  "Ask away!" Jiang Feng was already so flustered that he didn't know east from west, and was eagerly responding. Liu Zheng slowly opened his mouth:

  "Our old master has been frowning and looking gloomy for a month now, as the current emperor wants to change the attire of the high officials. Minister Fei and several other ministers are unwilling to comply, and have disobeyed the imperial edict. Our old master has also been questioned by the disciples of the Duke University in recent days, saying that it is necessary to stand firm for the reputation of scholars all over the world..."

  Before Liu Zheng could finish speaking, Jiang Feng suddenly sat up, spitting fiercely on the ground. Whether it was reading historical novels or Yun Zhongyue's martial arts novels, including a certain romantic novel "The World is So Big", they all clearly mentioned the Great Rites Controversy of Jiajing three years, when over 100 court officials were imprisoned and over 100 court officials were exiled.

  This Fei Hong, from being a deputy minister in the Ministry of Personnel to becoming the current Grand Chancellor and Duke, has personally experienced such bitter lessons and benefited from them. Is it not yet time to learn from these experiences? In the Ming dynasty, no matter how great your talent is, do not dare to defy the emperor, this is the truth.

  Although Jiang Feng did not know what the outcome of this change of dynasty attire was in history, he still followed Liu Zheng loudly and said to himself:

  "It's really troublesome, the emperor is going to do something, and those who are under him have to follow suit. If they sing a different tune, what's the point of having these underlings?"

  By the way, people in the Ming Dynasty referred to the current emperor as "Emperor Grandfather".

  Although I don't understand what "little brother" means, I roughly get the idea. Liu is hesitating there and saying:

  "Our old master often said that the people are most precious, the altar of the land next, and the ruler is lightest. When reading the books of sages, one must have a strong backbone..."

  Everyone collects for me and recommends it to me. I will definitely code out the text that makes everyone satisfied, so please rest assured.

  It seems like history lessons

  The Great Rites Controversy occurred in 1529 and the controversy over the ceremonial attire was in 1530.
