Chapter 233: The Ancient City of a Thousand Years (4000+ Chapters, Ask for Subscription~)

"Boss, two bowls of knife-cut noodles, a plate of Pingyao beef!"

In a small shop in Zhaoyu, the boss is an old couple, and the store is not big, which is enough to put down three or four tables, Wu Jianye and Grange have just arrived in Zhaoyu, originally Grange Zhuang was going to take the letter of introduction to Zhaoyu County Government, and arrange the place to live first, but Wu Jianye dragged him through the streets and alleys, and finally found a noodle restaurant that was open.

The noodles of Jin Province are famous all over the world, among which it is Wu Jianye's favorite to cut noodles with knives, remembering that in the previous life, when Wu Jianye just began to wander outside, because at that time he had to accompany customers and executives of listed companies, so he participated in the wine bureau a lot, there were one or two years, 365 days a year, he could drink outside for more than 300 days, almost all year round.

At that time, a steaming bowl of knife-cut noodles was his hangover cure, and every time he drank a lot of wine, he had to finish eating knife-cut noodles, so that he could sleep soundly at night and his stomach would not be so uncomfortable in the morning.

Now that he has come to Jin Province, Wu Jianye naturally can't let go of his heart.

The boss asked for a stack of chili peppers, put them in a bowl, and asked for a plate of vinegar, and put them in the noodle soup, and then sandwiched two pieces of beef and put them in the vinegar dish, a mouthful of noodles and a mouthful of beef.

"Cool!"

Wu Jianye sighed and said happily, the current knife-cut noodles are much more gluten than the knife-cut noodles of later generations, the real is the external slippery and internal strength, and the Pingyao beef is even more first-class!

"Hey, look at your way of eating, people who don't know still think you're from Jin Province!"

"You don't understand this, you have to use the customs of which place in that place, and when you come to Jin Province, if you don't come to a bowl of knife to cut noodles and dish vinegar, then what's the point!" Wu Jianye said happily while eating noodles.

"This guest officer said this reason, the old man with knife noodles has been doing this since he was a child, if it weren't for the change of the policy now, the old man wouldn't dare to take it out and sell it!" The boss saw that Wu Jianye was so happy to eat, and he was also very happy, and he was secretly relieved in his heart.

Wu Jianye and Grange Zhuang are obviously not Zhaoyu people, it looks more like they came from a big city, his small shop has just been open for a year, but there have been several people in the county, he is worried that he can't do it anymore, and now when he sees Wu Jianye, he thinks that his small business has alarmed the big people.

However, seeing that Wu Jianye liked it so much, it was obviously not, and the nervous mood just now calmed down.

"Old man, can you do anything other than knife noodles?" Wu Jianye chatted.

"Yes, my old lady can do it, whether the guest officer wants to eat rice or stir-fry, the small shop can do it!" the old man hurriedly said.

"Who else is in the old man's house?" Wu Jianye continued to ask.

Tianzhuang Zhuang looked at Wu Jianye curiously, not eating honestly, how could he talk to the old man.

"There are also two sons, one is a cook in the county guest house, and the other is still at home!" said the old man, who looked proud.

"What a blessing, how old is the old man this year?"

"53!"

"It's not like it, it's just over 40!" Wu Jianye said.

The old man laughed: "Don't you dare to say that!"

"Old man, we are making movies, and the whole crew will come over after a while, and dozens of people in the crew will have to eat at that time, why don't you cook for us every day, how about it?" Wu Jianye asked.

This is his purpose, Wu Jianye is a gluttonous character, and when he arrives in that place, he will inevitably try the local food, Zhaoyu is not as famous as later generations, and it is just an ordinary small county town, this old man not only dares to open a small shop by himself in this era, but his son is also the chef of the county guest house, which is obviously a family of chefs, and he can prepare meals for the crew.

Grange Zhuang whispered beside him: "If you do this, I'm afraid you will have to increase the budget!"

Wu Jianye smiled: "Don't worry, it's not a lot of money, besides, I still said too much about the budget for filming the movie before, but now it seems that 1 million can't be used at all, and the rest will be used to improve the food for everyone!"

Grange Zhuang nodded indifferently: "Anyway, you are the director, you say!"

When the old man heard this, he rubbed his hands happily and said, "It would be great if it was true!"

Wu Jianye was unhappy, obviously he didn't believe in himself, "Of course this is true, you will know when the people from our crew come in a while, but you can't delay our crew to eat when the old man comes!"

The old man glanced at Wu Jianye suspiciously: "Really?"

"It has to be!"

Looking at Wu Jianye's determined expression, the old man was a little convinced, if this was true, it would be great.

"Old man, when our crew comes over, I will ask someone to bring you the food stamps and meal money, if the food stamps are not enough at that time, we will have no problem making up for the money, right?" Wu Jianye asked.

"No problem, no problem!" the old man was now beginning to believe.

After eating noodles, Wu Jianye and Tianzhuang carried their bags and came to Zhaoyu County Mansion.

After the people from the Zhaoyu County Government saw the letters of introduction of the two, they immediately arranged accommodation for the two in the county guest house, and sent another person as their tour guide to accompany the two of them to start inspecting the filming site.

"Two, our Zhaoyu is a thousand-year-old city, according to the available information, the ancient Emperor Yao is from our Zhaoyu, and there are many celebrities in history, Wang Yun in the late Han Dynasty, Wang Qi in the Tang Dynasty, the great poet Wang Wei, Wang Zhongshu, and by the way, Luo Guanzhong, who wrote "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", are all from our Zhaoyu!"

On the street of Zhaoyu, Wu Jianye and Grange Zhuangzhuang, one person and one camera, are taking pictures, and there is also the tour guide Wang Jiarui who introduced the history of Zhaoyu.

The ancient city of Zhaoyu was built in 514 BC at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, according to the history of 2520 years, the city site is in the ancient county town and village. By the time of Sima Yan, the founding emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty, that is, at the end of the 3rd century AD, the county commander Li Xi moved the county seat to present-day Qicheng Village. The ancient city of Zhaoyu that we see now was moved from Qicheng during the reign of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty. After the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Eastern Wei Dynasty, the Northern Qi Dynasty, the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, it has a history of more than 1,500 years. It is one of the "oldest qualified" ancient rare cities among more than 2,000 counties in China.

Zhaoyu is named after "Zhaoyu Qi Zexu" in ancient times. In the middle of the 6th century B.C., the Jin mourning division of Zhao Yu Qi to the prince Qi Xi as a food land, to the 12th year of the Jin Dynasty (514 B.C.), the six secretaries of the Jin State exterminated the Qi clan and divided the Zhao Yu Qi into seven counties. Zhaoyu was officially formed as a county system. Therefore, it is called Zhaoyu.

In ancient times, the Wang family was the big surname here, and among the big families who were always cleaned up by the protagonist in the historical travel text, there was the Zhaoyu Wang family!

Wu Jianye and Grange Zhuang did not go directly to the Qiao family compound, but under the leadership of the tour guide, they came to the Qujia compound first!

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, Zhaoyu had gradually begun to develop commerce, and the Jin merchants would always be a rich and colorful page in the history of Chinese commerce.

The Zhaoyu Qu family is quite representative among the Jin merchants, and after the generations of the Qu family have made huge profits from running a business, they have built a large number of buildings and houses in Zhaoyu City. The eastern half of the ancient city of Zhaoyu is full of exquisite real estate buildings of the Qu family, known as "Qu Bancheng".

In later generations, more than 10 of these courtyards have been designated as cultural relics protection units at or above the county level, such as the Qujia Compound, the former residence of Qu Benqiao, the Changyuchuan Tea House and the former site of the Sanjinyuan ticket number. The most famous residential complex in this Qu property, it was built in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, and has been repaired many times later, the compound covers an area of about 5,300 square meters, with a construction area of more than 3,200 square meters.

From the outside, the courtyard resembles a castle, the momentum is majestic, and on the spacious and tall gatehouse, it is a delicate and exquisite pavilion, which is majestic and magnificent.

"Two directors, let's go in and have a look!" Wang Jiarui said happily, this is the first time he has seen a movie, and he is still a little excited, especially the one called Wu Jianye, when he first saw it, he always felt a little familiar, and when he chatted later, he knew that the "Peacock Princess" and "Under the Bridge" he watched two years ago were starring him.

Wu Jianye smiled: "Let's go, let's also see how this canal is doing." ”

The two followed Wang Jiarui into the Qu family compound.

"There are eight compounds in the Qujia compound, each of which is independent. The first courtyard is a stone carved balustrade courtyard. The left side of the gate is the cow house courtyard, the main courtyard is the inside five outside the three two into the archway courtyard, there is a blue brick passage on the west side of the main courtyard, there are four courtyards in the north and south of the road, the north is two Tonglou courtyards, and the south is two small courtyards. There are a total of 240 houses. Wang Jiarui was in front of Wu Jianye, and Tianzhuang Zhuang introduced the situation of the Qu family's compound.

Wu Jianye was attracted by the interior of the Qu family's compound.

"Old Wu, this place is much bigger than your courtyard in Yanjing!" "Tianzhuang Zhuang slapped Wu Jianye's shoulder and said with a smile.

"Isn't this nonsense, what's the situation over there in Yanjing, what's the situation here!" Wu Jianye glanced at Grange Zhuang.

With the development of the times, the Qujia Compound has been changed to the Jin Merchants Cultural Museum of Jin Province, with 7 series on display: Jin Merchants Overview, Famous Brands, Giant Merchants, Patriotic Deeds, Business Events, etc.

The three of them came to a room, Wang Jiarui pointed to the bare wall, and said: "This place was originally full of ancient celebrity calligraphy and paintings, but unfortunately now they have all been lost to the world, and many of them can't be found!"

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart!

After Wu Jianye listened, he immediately wanted to give himself a few big mouths, how could he forget this stubble, and waste the first pot of gold he earned after being reborn, he was deceived by fake antiques, and he actually forgot about the antiques.

You must know that the antiques of the eighties, but they are all cabbage prices, this era is paradise for all antique lovers, although Wu Jianye is not an antique lover, but he understands the value of these antiques in the future!

Wu saw that there was no intention at that time, and continued to shop, so he hurriedly said, "Director Wang, I want to go back to the guest house to make a call." ”

"Ah, oh, okay!" Wang Jiarui reflected before saying.

"Is something wrong?" said Grange Zhuang as he looked at Wu Jianye and asked.

"It's okay, you can accompany Director Wang here now, let's go to the Qiao family's compound to meet in a while!" Wu Jianye walked out of the Qu family's compound after speaking, and went back to the guest house.

Back at the guest house, Wu Jianye immediately called Zhao Lei.

After waiting for a long time, Zhao Lei received a call: "Brother, what's wrong?"

"Do you know anyone who understands antiques?" Wu Jianye asked directly.

"I don't know, but I can find it!" Zhao Lei didn't understand why Wu Jianye suddenly asked about antiques, but he also knew that Wu Jianye was very anxious, so he said directly.

"Okay, you immediately contact a few people who know about antiques, and then find a few trustworthy people, and accompany them to collect antiques for me all over the city!" Wu Jianye commanded.

"Okay, brother, do you want that type, is it calligraphy and painting, or pottery?" Zhao Lei thought that Wu Jianye was suddenly interested in antiques and wanted to study it.

"I want everything, whatever it is, as long as it's an old thing, take it all, find a yard close to the courtyard where I live now, give a sum of money to the tenants there, let them move out, and then put everything there, huh....... First find someone to rebuild it, preferably dig a basement to store it, and find someone who understands what to do. "Although Wu Jianye doesn't know much about antiques, he also knows that the storage of antiques must be exquisite.

"Okay, I got it. Zhao Lei said.

"By the way, things are done secretly, don't make people suspicious!" Wu Jianye told again, maybe no one will worry about anything now, but if you don't keep it right, someone will take risks.

"Don't worry, brother!" Zhao Lei smiled, "By the way, brother, there is one more thing, after we collected the courtyard before, now someone wants to sell their courtyard and finds me, do we still want it?"

"Yes, in this way, you divide your people into three waves, one wave for me to collect antiques, one wave for the courtyard, and the rest will follow you to do business!" Wu Jianye said.

"Okay!"

Zhao Lei has always been absolutely obedient to Wu Jianye's orders, even if Wu Jianye now has more than a dozen courtyards, he still wants to accept such a thing, Zhao Lei didn't ask much.

However, after several years of tempering, Zhao Lei also understood that Wu Jianye would definitely not do useless work, so on weekdays, he also charged two or three more sets of courtyards, although his big money has been invested in the beverage factory, but there is still some small money.

After hanging up the phone, Wu Jianye's mood became beautiful.

Whether it is a courtyard house or an antique, the value of these things has increased dozens and hundreds of times in later generations, especially in this era, these two things are not of high value in the eyes of the Chinese people, so that many foreigners take advantage, and now Wu Jianye has the opportunity, so naturally he can't let it go.

After dealing with these things, Wu Jianye carried his bag on his back and walked towards the Qiao family compound beautifully, the place in Zhaoyu is not very big, and the Qiao family compound is relatively famous, so it is naturally easy to find.

However, when Wu Jianye didn't expect it, when he passed by an alley, there was a problem.
