Chapter 94 Zhu Yuanzhang also drank alcohol???
Obviously, Zhuang Die seemed to be somewhat resistant to the news about her father.

This left Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi somewhat confused.

The Ming Dynasty ruled the country with filial piety. As a son, you should not be so resentful of your father.

Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi knew that if they continued asking, there would probably be no results.

Just when I was about to leave.

Then I saw another person.

Zhuang Mu called him Uncle Niu, and he was also the wine supplier in Zhuang Mu's wine shop.

Basically, this person is responsible for all the raw materials and has inherited Zhuang Die's wine-brewing technology.

"Brother Niu, since you are here, this is the wine you requested, so you don't have to pay for it."

Niu He heard this and quickly said, "No, you still have to pay me. You have to live, too."

"You are not young anymore, and you don't have a wife. How can I take advantage of you when you are in urgent need of money?"

"Your father was the same. He just left and left you and your son alone. Sigh..."

Zhuang Die simply responded: "Don't mention the past anymore."

It is obvious that Zhuang Die has a lot of dissatisfaction with his father.

Niu He also smiled when he heard this, and quickly stopped: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything more. My wife and children are waiting for me at home, so I won't say any more to you. I'm leaving first."

"Remember, if there is a girl you like, tell me and I will ask my father to propose marriage to you."

Zhuang Die is alone, and things like proposing marriage would be best done with the presence of an elder.

Therefore, their family did not treat Zhuang Die as an outsider.

Just as Niu He was leaving the tavern, Zhu Di pulled him aside.

This action scared Niu He.

"You, who are you?"

"What do you want to do?"

Fortunately, Zhu Di was holding Zhu Gaochi in his arms, who looked like a chubby two-year-old.

It can make people let down their guard.

You can't rob and take your child with you.

Zhu Di said softly: "Do you know the owner of this wine shop?"

Niu He looked at Zhu Di with some confusion.

"We know each other, what's wrong?"

If you know each other, then it will be easy.

So Zhu Di saluted with one hand and said softly: "I want to know something about Zhuang Die's father."

"I don't know, how much do you know?"

Judging from his appearance, Niu He should be older than Zhuang Die.

Since he has such a good relationship with Zhuang Die, he must know a lot of information.

Niu He naturally knew a lot about Zhuang Die.

but……

"Who are you? Why should I tell you?"

When dealing with strange strangers, you should at least be wary.

If it was someone who was unfavorable to Zhuang Die, he naturally could not reveal any information at all.

Zhuang Die basically stayed in Yingtian Prefecture, and he knew everyone related to him.

He didn't recognize the man in front of him.

Full of loopholes.

Very strange.

At this time, Zhu Gaochi hurriedly pulled Zhu Di's clothes.

Seeing this, Zhu Di stopped.

Zhu Gaochi said quickly: "Dad, you said you were here to find a wife for Zhuang Die, maybe this will work."

"Don't make your purpose too obvious. Do you need me to teach you how to do this?"

He took a fancy to Zhuang Die and wanted to act as a matchmaker and learn more about her family situation.

That makes sense.

Zhu Di was slightly stunned. This was a good idea. It was normal to use a matchmaker to understand the family situation.

However... the tone of Zhu Gaochi's voice seemed a little vague.

Needs to be rectified.

So Zhu Di smiled and said, "My young lady has taken a fancy to Zhuang Die, so she asked me to find out more about her."

Niu He was stunned for a moment, with a look of surprise on his face.

"You've taken a fancy to Brother Zhuang? Who is it? Which girl is it?"

In an instant, Niu He's attitude was completely different from before. The most important things in life are nothing more than getting married, having children, fame, wealth and power.

Marriage, in particular, is basically the number one event for the people. Continuing the family line is more important than anything else.

Zhuang Die is already in her twenties this year, which is considered quite old.

People of his age all have children who can run around, but Zhuang Die is the only one who doesn’t have a wife.

Zhu Di coughed lightly twice.

"It's not convenient to reveal this. As you know, women are always reserved. Let's find out first. It's not too late to talk about it when the time is right."

Hearing this, Niu He nodded.

"That's true."

Since the Song Dynasty, women's overall personality has changed from open to restrained and reserved.

This is true whether you are a wealthy family or an ordinary citizen.

Unlike the Tang Dynasty, wealthy women could wear clothes that exposed their shoulders.

"Then what do you want to know? I know almost everything about Brother Zhuang."

It became.

"How old is Zhuang Die?"

"Well, it should be 25. We are all worried if he is not married at this age."

"How many people are in the family?"

"How many people are there?" Niu He thought for a moment: "Zhuang Die should be the only child in the family."

"His father disappeared more than a decade ago, and his mother died of depression and illness not long after his father disappeared."

"However, we helped him from time to time, so he was able to live this long." "Although his father is missing, Zhuang Die has inherited the Zhuang family's winemaking technology."

“And improved the taste and cost of the drinks themselves.”

“It’s quite famous in this area.”

I got a general understanding of Zhuang Die's information.

The boy's father disappeared and his mother died of illness.

Growing up eating at many different houses, Zhuang Die's ancestral brewing skills began to shine in his hands, improving the taste and cost of brewed wine.

In this way, he should be considered a person of some achievement among ordinary people.

Very rare.

However, what he wanted to know was not Zhuang Die's information, but Zhuang Die's father's information.

"You just said that Zhuang Die's father disappeared. What happened?"

Hear the news.

Niu He quickly looked at the Zhuang family's tavern, and seeing that there was no movement inside, he began to speak.

"Alas, this matter has to start from when Zhuang Yi was a child."

Zhuang Yi is Zhuang Die's father and Zhuang Mu's grandfather.

"I heard that Zhuang Yi had a strange disease since he was a child. He often sleeps for more than six hours a day, or even ten hours."

"They are all asleep."

"Later, a Taoist priest said that it was due to the soil and water. In addition, there were frequent wars in the north. Zhuang Yi then took his wife and children to the south, preparing to live in a different place."

"It just so happened that our emperor had established a firm foothold in the south, and Jiangnan was pacified, so Zhuang Yi came to Yingtian Prefecture and settled down."

"However, this symptom has not improved."

"Until the eve of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhuang Yi's symptoms suddenly improved a lot."

"It seems that it was also in that year that the reputation of Zhuang's wine shop became very popular. It is said that drinking the wine brewed by Zhuang Yi can improve sleep."

"Even, I can dream about what I desire most."

After listening to these explanations, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi were able to make a rough conclusion.

Zhuang Mu's ability should have been inherited from his grandfather Zhuang Yi.

However, if it is hereditary, why didn't Zhuang Die inherit it? It's really strange.

Zhu Di continued to look at Niuhe.
"This unique effect also made Mr. Zhuang Yi earn a lot of money."

"But this didn't last long, and the side effects of the alcohol started to show up."

"I heard that people who frequently drink this kind of alcohol appear to be mentally depressed and crazy."

“I can’t tell the difference between reality and dreams.”

"In the end, these people came and robbed the tavern of everything. All the money that Mr. Zhuang Yi had earned was lost to these people."

At this time, Niu He looked around, came to Zhu Di's ear and whispered.

"I heard that the current emperor, the emperor himself, has also drunk the wine prepared by Mr. Zhuang Yi."

Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi were shocked.

"How can this be?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang actually drank this kind of wine?

Niu He said firmly: "Can I still lie to you?"

"Later, Brother Zhuang had a big fight with his father over this matter and refused to sell this kind of alcoholic beverage anymore."

"But my son can't beat me. Old man Zhuang Yi doesn't listen to my advice and is still selling this kind of alcohol."

"But the side effects could kill people, so who would dare to buy it?"

"Mr. Zhuang Yi drank it himself and let his wife drink it to prove that alcohol is fine as long as you don't drink too much. Later, people found that as long as the amount is controlled, the side effects are indeed better than nothing."

"I thought that Mr. Zhuang Yi would get rich again, but who would have thought... overnight, Mr. Zhuang Yi went crazy."

Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi were both slightly stunned.

Why would he go crazy for no reason?
"crazy?"

"Yeah, I still remember that scene, it was crazy, swimming in the river."

"He kept saying: I am a fish, I am a fish."

"Then one day they failed to keep an eye on old man Zhuang Yi and he ran away."

"As for whether he is dead or alive now, no one knows."

"After Zhuang Yi went crazy and ran away, Zhuang Die's mother blamed herself and became depressed all day. She eventually fell ill and passed away."

Niu He looked at the Zhuangjia tavern with some distress.

"Alas, Zhuang Die has always held a grudge against Mr. Zhuang Yi and doesn't allow anyone to mention it."

"He gets angry with anyone who mentions old man Zhuang Yi."

"That makes sense. If Mr. Zhuang Yi wasn't so stubborn, he would listen to Zhuang Die."

"I'm afraid it wouldn't be like this now."

"Ugh……"

Zhuang Die had repeatedly advised Zhuang Yi not to sell this kind of alcoholic beverage, but Zhuang Yi did not listen in order to make money.

So, he went crazy.

Crazy people are very difficult to control and they will run away if you are not careful.

Zhuang Die's mother felt very guilty for not taking good care of her husband. She became depressed and died of illness.

In this good family, only Zhuang Die is left.

At that time, Zhuang Die was only twelve years old. She was able to take care of herself but not to make money.

It is understandable that Zhuang Die hates his father.

If he weren't so stubborn, maybe they would have a happy family.

After all, didn't Zhuang Die still manage to develop the Zhuang family's restaurant by relying on his own skills?

Why bother with these crooked ways?

"Don't look at Zhuang Die's age, but he is indeed capable. If your young lady marries him, she will not suffer."

After saying that, Niu He took out some money from his waist.

He stuffed it into Zhu Di's hand and said with a smile: "Please say a few good words for my brother."

"He is alone, and if he starts a family early, he will not be so lonely."
