Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

When Wei Wu heard these two names, there was no strange expression on his face.

But he had a guess in his mind that sounded ridiculous but was very likely.

First of all, in terms of appearance, although they were wearing coarse linen clothes, their temperament was incompatible with their clothes.

That kind of temperament that is obviously that of a person in a high position cannot be concealed by coarse linen clothes.

The second is age. Now is the fifteenth year of Hongwu, so Old Zhu is probably around fifty-four to fifty-five years old.

Although the two people in front of me look in good spirits, it can be seen that they are of this age group.

Finally, it’s the name. When Wei Wu thought of the name, he couldn’t help but complain in his heart.

Zhu Ba, Ma Ying, do you really think that I won’t be able to recognize you if you change your username or say fewer words?

Combining the above information, it is easy to guess the identities of these two people.

But I didn't expect that the great Emperor Hongwu would actually come to my little courtyard to eat hotpot.

Thinking of this, Wei Wu's expression became a little strange.

Looking up, I saw that Lao Zhu was sweating profusely from the spicy food, but he still couldn't resist the temptation of hot pot.

He took out the ingredients from the pot while breathing heavily, and Queen Ma gently wiped the sweat off his face.

"Uncle Zhu, if it's too spicy, just drink some water... I'll get you some water!"

Wei Wu habitually prepared to hand over the Coke, but then changed his mind.

Since Old Zhu is here, his courtyard must have been under martial law.

Coke is pitch black, and bubbles will appear if you spill a little of it.

If Zhu accidentally spills some, the guards might mistake him for a poisoned assassin and kill him.

However, just as Wei Wu was about to get up to fetch water, Lao Zhu suddenly spoke.

"Xiao Wu, I saw you were about to give me this drink! Why did you take it back?"

"I've tried this before, and I'm afraid you might not be used to it, Uncle Zhu."

"It's okay. I'm a farmer, not that picky. I'll just drink this. By the way, why is the water black?"

Since Old Zhu had already spoken, Wei Wu had nothing more to say.

He took out three cups and poured the Coke into them. He picked up his own cup and drank it all in one gulp before speaking:

"This thing is called a drink, and it's black because it contains caramel."

"caramel?"

Old Zhu muttered something, then picked up the water cup and took a sip.

In an instant, the sweet taste and wonderful texture exploded in the mouth.

Old Zhu, who had never drunk this kind of beverage before, subconsciously imitated Wei Wu and drank the Coke in one gulp.

Then...

“Hiccup~~~~!”

Seeing that Old Zhu looked like a curious baby who had never seen the world, Wei Wu couldn't help but smile and asked:

"How about it, Mr. Zhu? Does this drink make you feel refreshed?"

"Great?" Old Zhu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yeah, very great!"

Seeing this, Wei Wu turned his head and looked at Queen Ma beside him.

"Aunt Ma, you should try it too. You will probably like the taste of this drink."

"Okay, then I'll try it too."

Empress Ma smiled warmly, but did not drink it all in one breath like Zhu Yuanzhang did.

He just put it to his lips and took a sip, then his eyes immediately lit up and he couldn't help but take another sip.

“It is indeed extremely sweet, and the taste is very unique.”

Wei Wu laughed and said that drinking too much Coke would only be like that.

But people of this era who come into contact with it for the first time will inevitably be shocked by its peculiar taste.

However, what Lao Zhu said next made him stop laughing.

"Xiao Wu, I wonder how to brew this drink? I want to brew some for daily drinking when I get back."

"Forehead……"

Wei Wu was stumped by what Zhu said.

He opened this stuff from the package, and God knows how to brew it.

Moreover, the formula of Coke was a secret even in the world before he traveled through time, and only three people knew it.

After hesitating for a while, Wei Wu didn't know how to explain.

Seeing that Wei Wu looked a little embarrassed, Empress Ma pushed Zhu's shoulder.

The latter chuckled and then began to explain.

"I was too reckless. The recipe for this kind of unique drink must be kept strictly confidential."

"Uncle Zhu, you misunderstood. I only have a few bottles of this drink and I don't know the recipe at all."

"So it's a unique piece? No wonder we've never seen it before. I'm sorry to have cost you a fortune."

At this time, Lao Zhu's gaze was drawn to the plastic bottle containing Coke, and he immediately took it in his hand.

"This bottle is neither made of gold nor wood. The material is very unique! I have traveled all over the country, but I have never seen such a material before."

"This stove is quite extraordinary! It has an exquisite shape, and it seems to be burning neither charcoal nor coal. What on earth is it?"

After hearing this, Wei Wu already felt something was wrong.

The way Lao Zhu spoke now seemed to be curious, but in fact he was questioning.

Even the tone of his voice changed. Although it was still gentle, it revealed an unquestionable strength.

Upon realizing this, Wei Wu's heart suddenly became nervous.

Damn, time-travel novels are killing me!

Everyone thinks Zhu Yuanzhang is a fool, but he is the great Hongwu Emperor!

Seeing so many new and novel things, how can one just be curious and not have doubts!

In the feudal dynasty era, arousing the suspicion of an emperor was no joke.

Especially the Hongwu Emperor who founded the Ming Dynasty and killed countless people.

The Hu Weiyong case happened not long ago. This iron-fisted emperor killed nearly 30,000 people!

Just when Wei Wu was worried, Old Zhu suddenly stood up and walked around the courtyard looking around.

Standing by the courtyard wall, pointing at the bicycle leaning against the wall.

"This iron frame only has two wheels, front and back. Is it a car? How can it move without a propeller?"

Zhu Yuanzhang then pointed to the metal grill on the other side.

"And this iron rack, which looks like a pot but isn't one, has rows of horizontal iron bars, also ingeniously designed."

Finally, I saw the hair dryer and mobile power supply that Wei Wu placed next to the steps of the house door.

Because the solar charging panel was outside, Wei Wu just put it there after taking a shower in the morning.

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at these things and spoke after a while:

"Even these things are of strange shapes. They are obviously not products of our Ming Dynasty. I can't even describe them."

After saying this, Lao Zhu returned to the table and sat down again, looking straight at Wei Wu.

"Brother Wei Wu, if I'm not mistaken, you guessed who I was when I said my name just now!"

"After all, the expression on your face was a bit strange at that time!"

Hearing the emperor's question, Wei Wu's heart sank.

At that time? Weren't you concentrating on the hot pot at that time? Did you still have time to observe me?

Damn, if anyone says that the ancients were all fools again, I will smash him to death with a hot pot!

Under Zhu Yuanzhang's questioning, Wei Wu was silent for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh.

"Master Hongwu is worthy of being Master Hongwu. This kid's skills are simply not hidden from your discerning eyes!"

"I never thought that having hot pot at home would attract you. If I had known this... oh!"

Hearing Wei Wu's sigh, Zhu Yuanzhang also guessed what he was thinking.

"Don't worry, I don't think you're an assassin, otherwise you would have been shot by dozens of arrows and died."

"No one knew about my secret trip to the palace this time. It was just a spur-of-the-moment decision. I never expected to meet someone as extraordinary as you."

"I want to know who you are and where you got these strange objects from."
