The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Chapter 80 Famous in the Capital (1)

Pan Long was stunned when he saw the bowl of porridge handed over by the prince, and the others were even more confused. A bowl of porridge was not really a good thing in their eyes, but after being hungry for nearly five days, who could say that?

If he doesn't want to eat it, he is a fool.

"Give them the porridge, aren't you hungry?" the young lady asked in surprise.

"Hungry, and very hungry, they are also very hungry!" Zhao Tong said honestly, "They could have been full all day long, but they were willing to accompany me to starve. How can I enjoy the bowl of porridge that my wife gave me today to myself!"

"Okay, although the prince is young, he has a heroic spirit that makes people admire him!" The young lady couldn't help but praise.

"What the young lady said is right. Sharing hardships with wealth and wealth is a sign of loyalty." At some point, there were more idle people watching around them, cheering noisily.

"Brothers, Your Majesty is so proud of us. I, Pan Long, must eat this porridge!" Pan Long took the porridge bowl and took a sip, then passed it to Xue Bao next to him. Xue Bao took a sip and passed it to the next one.

One person went to the end, and when the porridge bowl returned to Zhao Tong's hand, everyone really showed respect and there was only the bottom of the bowl left.

"I drank all the bottom of the bowl, the bottom of the blessed land!" Zhao Tong scraped it with his fingers, poured it all into his mouth, and said with a smile. His funny look made everyone laugh, but everyone's eyes were filled with laughter.

There are more things to light up Jingjing.

"Thank you so much, miss. The kindness of a meal will never be forgotten. I dare not say anything in return. I will treat this as a toy for your miss!" Zhao Tong took off the jade ring from his waist and put the rice bowl in the food box and handed it back.

The little lady said.

"Haha, if I don't take it back, we'll be hypocritical!" The little lady was bold, and she took the food box, separated everyone, and walked down the imperial street.

The sudden appearance of this little lady seemed to bring them good luck. At dinner time, they each got a bowl of porridge. Although they were not full, they finally had some food in their stomachs. It was still sunny the next morning.

Before the light was on, a sedan chair carried by eight people passed by them tremblingly. A follower behind the sedan put down a food box, nodded at them, smiled and followed the sedan into the palace gate.

"Who is he?" Zhao Tong asked.

"I don't know, it looks like the sedan is of grade three or above!" Jian Xi shook his head and said.

"Oh, what a big bowl of Qibao vegetarian porridge, it's cooked well!" Zhang Hao opened the food box and looked at the bowl or basin inside, and said with a smile.

"Let me see!" Jianxi looked at it carefully and then smelled the porridge in the food box and said, "I know who it is. He is the school inspector Sikong Tongguan. He likes to eat Qibao vegetarian porridge most. The one in his house is

The vegetarian porridge is also very famous!”

"Tong Guan?!" This name is so familiar to Zhao Yu. He has known it since he was a child. He is the second bad guy after Gao Qiu in "Water Margin", a famous armed eunuch, and one of the Six Thieves of the Northern Song Dynasty. Anyway, there is nothing in his impression.

Positively, "I have never met him, let alone have any friendship with him. Why did he bring me porridge?" Zhao Tong thought for a moment and didn't figure it out. It didn't stop him from greeting everyone to drink porridge. He also didn't expect that he and Tong Tong would share the porridge.

All the grievances and resentments started from this bowl of porridge.

Before the bowl of porridge was finished, another young boy came over and put down a food box with a smile, "Prince Yan, the young one is a boy from Bailunlou. Our shopkeeper specially asked the kitchen to cook this bowl of five-flavor porridge and give it to you while it's hot.

It's here!" the boy said enthusiastically. He took out a basin of porridge from the food box, filled it with a silver bowl, put a delicate silver spoon on it, handed it to Zhao Tuan, and then filled it with a few more

Bowls are distributed for everyone to eat.

"Who asked your shopkeeper to deliver porridge to us?" Zhao Tong asked as he stirred the porridge in the bowl with a spoon and took two bites.

"My lord, no one has given orders. You don't know that the news has spread throughout Tokyo. Prince Yan went to the capital to sacrifice his mother against the decree. He set up a mourning hall outside the palace and did not eat for five days. He showed his filial piety to the world and shared it with all the guards.

Eating a bowl of porridge is an extremely honorable act. Our shopkeeper was deeply moved after hearing this, so he specially ordered me to deliver porridge to you and the elder brothers early in the morning, but I still came a little late!" The boy looked at the children beside him.

Tsuki said with a little regret as he left the food box behind.

"Second Master, someone is here again!" Before the two bowls of porridge were finished, Hong Ba saw two more people coming over carrying food boxes.

"Hey, isn't this Brother Li Si from Baifanlou? You came early!" The visitor saw Li Si finishing things and knew that someone had taken the lead today, so he said with jealousy.

"Hehe, Brother Zhang is here too late. Your Changqing Tower is a little further away than me, so I let my younger brother take the lead. Please wait for me. I'll take my leave first!" Li Si was not in a hurry or annoyed.

A soft nail was sent back. Although he lost to someone else, it was a good thing to take the lead in Changqing Tower.

"Second Master, this Changqing Restaurant is one of the largest restaurants in Beijing. Why are they delivering porridge to us today? Isn't it because they collectively took the wrong medicine last night?" Jian Xi remembered what the prince said, "Abnormality is a demon."

', and immediately began to wonder if all this was a premeditated incident.

"I can't figure out the situation now. Since someone gave it to us, let's eat it!" Zhao Tong replied simply.

"Your Majesty Yan, I got up very early and still came late. However, the porridge at our Changqing Tower is no worse than that at the Baifan Tower. Please give me a few bites, please!" Although Zhang San was overtaken by his colleagues, he was a little nervous.

Frustrated, but still smiling and greeting me attentively.

"Thank you, shopkeeper. This porridge is delicious, just as good as the one from Baifanlou!" Zhao Tong picked up a bowl of porridge and ate it, and then invited everyone to eat together. This kind of big restaurant has a big business. Since you dare to sign up,

You don't have to worry about him poisoning people, you can eat it with confidence, and the taste is really good.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your favor. Our shopkeeper has given us orders. As long as Your Majesty eats smoothly, from now on, we will provide breakfast for everyone at Changqing House, and we will ensure that it will not be the same every day!" the boy said happily.

The people from Changqing Tower here have just finished cleaning up and left, as if they had agreed upon it. The next group has arrived again. This time, the ones coming back are Liu Tower under Jinliang Bridge, then Renhe Store outside Songmen in the east of Zhouzhou, and Yicheng Tower in the west of Zhouzhou.

, Zhoubei Baxian Tower, Dailoumen Zhang Bajiayuanzhai Main Store, Li Qijia Main Store "Jianxi, how many big restaurants are there in the capital?" Zhao Tong ate three dishes in a row, and his stomach was full.

He could only give me some face and taste it, but the porridge was also poured down his throat. He rubbed his belly and asked.

"There are seventy-two restaurants in Jingzheng, and I can't count the rest. The rest are all "foot shops". They sell exquisite dishes to go with wine, catering to the rich and middle-class people. The one who ranks high is the No. 1 White Chef, Xi'an Prefecture

There are Zhang Xiu's family in Xiangxiang, Li Qing's family in Baokangmen, Guo Chu's family in Dongji'er Lane, Li's family in Caomen's Brick Tube, Li's family in Sidong Dice, Huang Pang's family, Jiuqiaomen Market Hotel, I don't know how many there are."

I am very familiar with this, so I just opened my mouth.

"The droughts and floods are uneven. A few days ago, we were so hungry that no one cared about us. Today, more than ten people came just after breakfast. If they all came, we would be starved to death!" Zhao Tong said in a very shameless manner.

He burped and said.

"But if we can drink a bowl of porridge from each of them, we can eat in all the major restaurants in the capital!" Hong Ba said with a smile.

"There will come a day. Next time we return to Beijing, we and I will not only eat all over Tokyo together, but also open our own restaurant here!" Zhao Tong said solemnly.

"Second Master, let alone fill us up with this porridge, even if we were beaten to death, we wouldn't be able to finish it!" Jianxi looked at the large and small food boxes and rice bowls placed around the memorial shed, and then at the crowd surrounding him.

Now I wonder if all entertainment was banned during the Queen's funeral, and the people came here to relieve their boredom.

"Hey, what the hell is going on?" Zhao Tong was also confused. In the morning, he thought that his mother or grandpa had instructed various big hotels to send him meals. But at noon, not only the restaurants around the imperial city, but also

Silk shops and grocery stores that did not sell food also brought them meals. As for the ordinary people carrying small baskets and rice bowls, there was also an endless stream. The porridge they received was enough for them to open a porridge shop.

It must be a big porridge shop like that. Is it possible that people in this era also learned from Lei Feng and sent warmth? Zhao Tong wondered.

"Second Master, someone is here again, hurry up and get ready!" Jianxi looked at the prince and said with some pity. Now the person delivering the meal has an extra gift. They have to go to the queen's soul to lay a stick of incense and bow.

, the prince, as a filial son, of course had to return the favor. Normally, he could only give his hand, but he insisted on kneeling and bowing in return. In less than an hour, he kowtowed no less than two or three hundred times.

At this time, an old lady walked over shakily, put down a small basket, took out a bunch of incense, two candles and a wad of paper money and handed them to Xue Bao who was receiving the gift. She also put down a bowl of thick rice porridge, and then walked to the coffin.

, seeing the joy, he quickly lit a stick of incense and handed it over. The old lady took it and inserted it into the incense burner. She knelt down and kowtowed three times respectfully. Zhao Tong returned the gift.

"My lord, you are a filial son, and the queen's spirit in heaven will keep you safe forever!" After the old lady finished doing this, she was out of breath and walked over to help Zhao Tong up and said.

"Grandma, thank you, have a rest!" Zhao Tong stood up and supported the old lady, moved a pile of burning paper, took off his cloak and spread it on top, and then helped her sit down.

"Tsk, tsk, you see, the prince was afraid that the old lady would sit in the cold, so he put his big cloak on the old lady. At first, I heard that the prince had not eaten for five days in order to sacrifice his mother, and I thought it was a lie. Now I see that he is treating a complete stranger.

All the old ladies are so kind, only then did I realize that this is really the case!" a spectator on the side exclaimed with emotion.

"The prince hasn't eaten for five days. I saw it with my own eyes. The food their guards bought was nothing edible except tributes!" another person said.

"How do you know so clearly?"

"My shop is right at the corner of the street. They always pass by my door when buying things. Of course I saw it!"

"Then you clearly know that the prince is hungry, why don't you give him a bowl of porridge?"

"I thought at first that it was just a show. Someone in the palace would definitely bring food to the prince. But who knew what happened? His guards were so amazing. If the master didn't eat, they also went hungry for five days, which made people feel uncomfortable.

I have to admire you!"

"Yes, I saw it too. Yesterday, someone gave me a bowl of porridge. The prince only took one bite and asked everyone to share it. That situation made me, a grown man, unable to bear tears. I asked my mother-in-law to cook it in the evening.

The porridge is here!" A person said while gesticulating, making the people next to him sigh.

"Wu Liu, the house your mother lives in is about to collapse. You don't even care about it in such a cold weather. You, a naughty naughty person, will make people cry!" an acquaintance nearby said jokingly.

"Hey, it's really my fault that I didn't honor my mother. Yesterday, when I came back from here, I took my mother to our home. The prince can resist the decree of sacrificing his mother and is not afraid of death. I, a humble citizen, don't even care about my mother.

You deserve to be fed!" Everyone looked at Wu Liu in surprise as he admitted his mistake frankly, as if they were seeing the sun coming out of the west. They couldn't believe that this rogue who was wandering the streets had actually learned the lesson well.
