Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

As to why it is called Roujiamo instead of Mojiarou, Li Yu has seen several explanations in modern times.

Some people say it is influenced by regional accents, while others say it is the abbreviation of the ancient Chinese "roujiayumo".

During the Yu Dynasty, the Li language could not be explained to Mr. Xiang using modern regions, so the latter one was chosen.

I don’t know whether Mr. Xiang told Aunt Yang and Aunt Lu.

*

A dozen meters away, Emperor Tianyuan looked at Aunt Yang curiously, "Can you explain it to me?"

It is really difficult for ordinary people to bear the pressure from the emperor. Even though Aunt Yang is brave, she is extremely nervous at this moment.

Her heart was pounding in her chest, and Aunt Yang tried her best to calm it down, but the harder she tried, the more nervous she became, and when she finally opened her mouth, no sound came out.

Li Yu felt very bad when he saw this scene.

Although Emperor Tianyuan would not say anything unpleasant in public, Aunt Yang's performance would affect his feelings and thus affect the entire situation.

At this moment, Aunt Lu, who was in charge of making the pancake skewers, suddenly bowed to Emperor Tianyuan.

"Your Majesty, Roujiamo is a simplified form of Roujiayumo. Our shopkeeper said Roujiayumo is too difficult to pronounce, so we changed it to Roujiamo, which is simpler and easier to remember."

Emperor Tianyuan's already disappointed mood immediately improved. He turned to Aunt Lu with a kind smile on his face, "You made pancake skewers?"

Aunt Lu lowered her eyes: "Yes."

Emperor Tianyuan looked at the dishes lined up on the chopping board waiting to be fried and asked, "Can you make one for me?"

Aunt Lu: "Of course, Your Majesty, please wait a moment."

After saying that, Aunt Lu picked up an empty bamboo basket and walked to the shelf to get the vegetables and meat.

The vegetables and meat were all skewered on bamboo sticks. Aunt Lu deftly took out a dozen skewers and when she came back she fried the meat in the pan first.

There didn't seem to be anything wrong with her actions, so Li Yu felt relieved.

While Aunt Lu was making the pancake skewers, Emperor Tianyuan turned around and talked to the people in the queue.

He asked the people if they had ever eaten pancake skewers before and how they tasted.

He was so close to the people that some brave people couldn't help but reply.

"This is... this is the first time I've eaten it, but my family just had one together, and he said it was delicious."

"I haven't tasted the one at home yet, but it smells good, so it should be good."

"The dishes made by Jinyulou in the past have always been delicious, and this time they will definitely be no bad either."

"I saw everyone else queuing, so I queued here too."

With someone taking the lead, other slightly timid people also mustered up the courage to speak up.

Emperor Tianyuan was extremely happy to receive the interaction from the people.

As an emperor, he wanted the people to respect him, but he also wanted the people to not be so afraid of him.

After all, only a foolish and cruel monarch would make the people so scared that they dare not speak.

Behind the car.

Aunt Lu took less than half a quarter of an hour to make the cake for Emperor Tianyuan, then wrapped the cake in oil paper and handed it to the eunuch next to Emperor Tianyuan.

Seeing that the pancake skewers were ready, Emperor Tianyuan nodded, said a few words to encourage the people, and then left.

The people became increasingly excited.

Before he had gone far, he shouted excitedly: "I spoke to the emperor, I spoke to the emperor."

"The Emperor is so kind."

"Unfortunately, I was too timid at first and didn't dare to say too much. Next year, I will definitely talk to the emperor more."

Next to Emperor Tianyuan, Minister Huang said flatteringly: "Your Majesty, the people all regard you as a god."

These were words of praise, but Emperor Tianyuan felt something was wrong. Just as he was about to reprimand Minister Huang, two old men suddenly walked into the middle of the road by mistake.

The accompanying imperial guards were filled with alarm bells. They didn't have time to think, and the swords hanging at their waists were subconsciously pulled out.

The people had never seen such a quick movement and retreated in fear.

The two people who suddenly ran to the middle of the road were also frightened and stood there, not daring to move.

The eunuch beside Emperor Tianyuan saw that something was wrong and shouted at the top of his voice: "Who is that person on the road? The emperor is here, why don't you leave quickly!"

After the words fell, a few breaths later, the two people on the road finally moved, but they did not retreat to the side of the road, but fell to their knees with a thud.

"Sir, please spare me, Sir, please spare me, I didn't mean it."

The two old men were dressed in tattered clothes, with hunched backs and faces showing traces of suffering left by the years.

Emperor Tianyuan felt inexplicably uncomfortable, and before the commander of the imperial guards was about to scold the two men, he said, "Hurry up, two elders, you don't have to be afraid, there is nothing to worry about today."

The two old men were a little nervous, "Really...really?"

*

Emperor Tianyuan nodded.

The two old men hurriedly kowtowed to Emperor Tianyuan, chanting "Long live the emperor".

Then, they supported each other and prepared to stand up. However, at the moment they were about to stand up, their eyes suddenly swept to Huang Shangshu beside Emperor Tianyuan.

The two old men knelt down again at once.

Emperor Tianyuan thought that they were so nervous that their legs were weak and they could not stand up. He was about to ask the imperial guards to help, but he saw the two old men kowtow even harder.

The old man on the left knelt and cried, "Master Shangshu, we know we are wrong. Please let us go. We have sold our house and our whole family lives in a dilapidated temple outside the city. We can't take out anything. Please, let us go."

The old man on the right waited for his companion to finish speaking, then he also started crying, "Sir Shangshu, in order to pay off the debt, my little grandson is seriously ill but has no money to buy medicine, and is almost dying. Please, let us go, and in the next life we ​​will work like cows and horses to repay your kindness."

After these two paragraphs, the whole audience fell silent.

Shangshu Huang, who was standing beside Emperor Tianyuan, looked at the two people on the ground and wished he could cut them into pieces.

This guy actually caused trouble in front of the emperor!

*

Raising his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, Minister Huang laughed dryly: "Your Majesty, they must have recognized the wrong person because of their old eyesight. I have no idea what they are talking about."

Glancing at him, Emperor Tianyuan took a few steps forward until he stopped in front of the two old men. "Is the Shangshu you just mentioned the Minister of Revenue?"

The old man on the left was lying on the ground, his voice hoarse, "Yes, it is... it is Huang Shangshu from the Ministry of Revenue."

As he spoke, he paused, as if he had made up his mind, and suddenly looked up at Emperor Tianyuan, "Your Majesty, please help us. If Minister Huang's people continue to force us, our whole family will not survive. My son has a pity, his legs and feet are broken at such a young age."

The old man on the right was also sobbing, his voice was so sad that it made people feel uncomfortable.

Huang Shangshu was afraid that these two people would cause him more trouble, so he ran forward and shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't try to implicate me."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Emperor Tianyuan flatteringly, "Someone wants to harm me on purpose, you can't trust them."

Emperor Tianyuan snorted coldly, "Huang Qing family, as the saying goes, a person of integrity has nothing to fear, why are you in such a hurry?"

Minister Huang: “…”

Emperor Tianyuan looked down at the two old men and said, "Since you have come to me for help, I will make things clear. I will give you a quarter of an hour to explain the whole story clearly!"
