When corrupt officials stirred up trouble, Lu Liuyun slammed a cleaver onto the chopping board. “You dare mess with my food supply chain? Have you asked Old Zhu about his knife?” Zhu Yuanzhang flew into a rage. “Whoever dares cut off my food supply will have their entire clan executed!” Only then did everyone realize that this unassuming chef was the real big shot in the Ming Dynasty!
