There are two kinds of theories about the origin of hot pot: one is that it was in the Three Kingdoms period or the era of Emperor Yang of Sui, and the "copper tripod" at that time was the predecessor of hot pot. There is also a kind of www.biquge.info about the origin of hot pot in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the "bucket" of cultural relics unearthed in later generations refers to hot pot.

Anyway, the origin of hot pot is very early, and I have thought about the development of the shop in the future in the spring and autumn, and the weather is getting colder and colder, so hot food is more popular.

However, because when he went up the mountain with the Yuan family before, the words that the Yuan family said brought a lot of blows to the Spring and Autumn Period, it stands to reason that if this was before, the Spring and Autumn Period would definitely move the hot pot that made money in the future generations directly regardless of it, and then dream of making money with the hot pot. But since she heard Yuan's words, Chunqiu didn't take it for granted, but first investigated it according to the environment, and then planned what suitable food to eat in her heart.

Tongding, that is, the ancient hot pot, she had asked Yang Li vaguely before, whether there was a pot to eat in winter, Yang Li thought about it for a while, and was really sure that there was indeed this kind of winter pot at home, and Yang Li also moved this kind of copper tripod out of the warehouse.

In fact, it is said that it is a copper tripod, but it is not true, the copper tripod here is a round basin made of unclear what material, the spring and autumn carefully identified, and did not determine what material is contained in it, but there must be iron, and some bronze, because the copper tripod is attached to a thick layer of green rust, the spring and autumn squatting next to the copper tripod, carefully looked at it, and then reached out and knocked it seriously, and finally came to the conclusion that it is a basin.

This sentence is not wrong in the Spring and Autumn Period, it is a household basin, but the texture is different, according to Yang Li's said, this copper tripod is still she spent five catties of rice from a trader in exchange for it, I heard the trader say that this copper tripod is used by rich and noble people to eat hot and eat in winter, but Yang Li himself does not know a big word, and he does not know what the copper tripod is, there is no shortage of five catties of rice at home, and this thing is very similar to the incense burner offered in the temple, Yang Li did not think much about it, so he bought it directly, and since then this copper tripod has been thrown into the warehouse and no one cares, if it is not for today's Spring and Autumn Question, Yang Li is almost forgetting this stubble。

The shape of this copper tripod in front of the Spring and Autumn Period is the same as the round basin used at home, but there is nothing on the top of the round basin, and there are two small ears on the basin here, which is very similar to the bronze tripod in the ancient Spring and Autumn Period, but it is round in front of her, and there are two brackets used to fix the support at the bottom.

If you use this to eat hot pot, you first put charcoal under the stand, then pour water into the pot and put the vegetables, and when the contents are cooked, you can eat them with chopsticks.

It's just that this kind of pot is not suitable for the house, and this kind of pot is too simple, and it is not suitable for the shop, there is too much charcoal burned underground, and as for the air, if you are not careful, it is also prone to carbon monoxide poisoning.

It seems that she should be able to improve the copper tripod in front of her according to the kind of copper hot pot that appeared in later generations, not to mention what she eats when eating hot pot, isn't it just the ingredients and base ingredients? Even if the ancient people are smart, there are not as many ingredients as she knows, not to mention that if the ingredients are delicious, she will definitely not admit defeat.

The predecessor of the copper hot pot is the bucket of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the bottom bracket has a triangular fork to support, and then warm the food through the bottom heating, which is convenient and easy to use, but this is only the earliest period, there is no advanced copper hot pot in later generations, although copper is more expensive than iron in this era, and most of the household tools are smelted with iron, but the spring and autumn are not afraid, anyway, they are all made to eat, iron and copper are the same.

The copper hot pot of later generations, although the main body is still a pot, there is a circular chimney above the pot, and then the lower half is the bottom seat, and the three become a whole, which is the copper hot pot of later generations.

Chunqiu made a plan, then turned her head and went directly to her father, just kidding, she was only a five-year-old girl, the theory was okay, if it was practiced, her father was more reliable.

It happened that her father was still resting at home because of his arm, and Chunqiu didn't make much effort, and found Yang Weibai who was weaving a mattress in the rice pile on the east side of the yard.

"Dad, how much more is there to do?" Chunqiu stood on the periphery of the rice pile, tiptoeing to Yang Weibai, who was sitting in the center.

"Eh, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing, just ask" Chunqiu smiled and didn't explain.

"Oh, Dad, there is still half of it that hasn't been made up, Qiu'er has something to wait for a while" Yang Weibai looked up and smiled at Chunqiu, and then continued to weave it with his right hand.

After listening to this, Chunqiu thought that her father's current speed should not take long, so Chunqiu did not leave, lowered her head and directly reached out to take some useless straw mat to the side, and then she sat down.

The straw mat made by her father was reserved for her brother, because the previous reed mat was enough, and the spring and autumn house had been replaced with a new one, and the family lived in a clay kang, so it would naturally not be very cold in winter, but Yang Chunming was different, he slept in the bed, and Yuan was worried that the bed would be too cold in winter, so he asked Yang Weibai to directly weave a thick straw mat with these straws, ready to turn back and spread it on Yang Chunming's bed.

Chunqiu stared intently at her father's movements, only to see that her father first laid the straw into a layer, and then continued a layer on the top, just like that, the left layer and the right layer were added, and the grass mat woven by her father was also becoming thicker and thicker at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.

Yang Weibai had been working all morning, and the sweat on his body naturally flowed a lot, he first stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat, and then looked down at Chunqiu, his tone was a little puzzled, "Qiu'er, what's the matter?" Don't look at Yang Weibai is a little silly and a little stupid, but the basic eyesight is still there, if his daughter has nothing to do, she will definitely not wait here for so long.

Chunqiu glanced at the beads of sweat on her father's body, and still handed over the handkerchief in his arms, "Dad, you wipe the sweat first, let's go under the pear tree."

Yang Weibai took the handkerchief of the spring and autumn period, nodded, and then picked up the handkerchief of the spring and autumn and greeted his face, until the beads of sweat were wiped clean, and the handkerchief of the spring and autumn period became black. After a while, Dad asked your mother to give you one," and then the handkerchief embroidered with a duck was kicked directly into Yang Weibai's arms. Chunqiu waved his hand directly, and said indifferently, "Dad, it's nothing, I still have it there" What is this, she doesn't have too many handkerchiefs there.

"Girl, then let's go to the pear tree" Yang Weibai looked up at the sky, and then directly stretched out his hand and pointed to the pear tree that was only three meters away from them.

The pear tree is almost lost because the leaves have fallen, and it is not much cooler than the outside, and the main reason in the spring and autumn phase is that you can draw things with wooden branches, and after the father and daughter sit under the pear tree, Spring and Autumn directly picked up the wooden branches on the side and painted.

Stick figures are not difficult, and the spring and autumn periods are just a few simple strokes to outline the general shape of the copper hot pot.

Yang Weibai stretched his neck and kept looking at it, frowning from time to time, and then looking dazed.

"Dad, do you think this can be made?" Chunqiu finished drawing, threw the wooden stick in his hand aside, and then looked up at Yang Weibai on the side.

Yang Weibai scratched his head first, and then said a little slowly, "Qiu'er, what is this thing, why is there a chimney on the basin?" Yang Weibai can understand the bracket under the basin, but what is the purpose of putting a chimney in the basin?

"This is exhaust, Dad, this is what I changed according to the copper tripod that Grandma gave me" Chunqiu directly pulled out Yang Li's, and then explained to Yang Weibai, "Dad, look at this, this is the place used to put charcoal, and then as soon as it is heated here, the gas generated will run out along this chimney... And then, like this..."Chunqiu stretched out his finger to the ground and made a gesture, Yang Weibai nodded from time to time next to him, and when Chunqiu finished speaking, her father fell into contemplation.

"Dad, don't we know what to do to eat? What do you think of this? It's better than Tongding," Chunqiu said with a smile.

"What is the copper tripod? Is it a pot used by rich and noble families to eat in winter?" Yang Weibai asked directly.

"Yes, that's it, but the copper tripod is inconvenient, and now it's easy to use it if it looks like this," Chunqiu nodded and said.

"It's okay, it's really much easier to use than Tongding," Yang Weibai replied with a smile.

"Hehe, I'm not afraid of being cold when I eat like this, wouldn't it be nice to just put it in?" Chunqiu shook his little head with an excited face.

"Well, it's really good, but we can't make this thing" Yang Weibai was a little embarrassed, "This kind of thing has to go to the blacksmith shop."

"Dad, don't you want to deliver grain tomorrow? Wouldn't it be better to go to the blacksmith shop Uncle Wang to make one?" Chunqiu thought that tomorrow her father was going to Black Mountain Town to sell grain, isn't this just an opportunity? Because Yang Li saw that the harvest of late rice was not good, he was worried that there would be a famine in the spring of next year, so he planned not to sell grain, but the income of late rice this time was 10% better than the previous prediction, and now the grain at home and the warehouse could not be loaded, so Yang Li agreed to sell some of it.

"That's... It's okay," Yang Weibai thought about it, nodded and said.

The two planned the hot pot, Chunqiu ran back to the house, and by the way, the copper tripod that had been observed for a long time was also carefully moved back to the chicken rack, because her grandmother said, this thing looks useless, it happened that the chicken pot was broken before, just make a chicken pot for the chicken, Chunqiu sympathetically glanced at the copper tripod that had been broken and could not be broken again, well, this can be regarded as making the best use of it.

Because her aunt is not at home in the past two days, there are fewer people in the family who can make trouble, and she suddenly becomes a little deserted.

But no matter what, the eldest aunt still left, and the expressions of Chunhua and Xiaoshi in the past two days were a little disgusted, that is, playing games with Spring and Autumn was like a lack of spirit, which made people feel distressed when they looked at it.

But no matter how distressed she is, there is no way, Yang Li personally spoke, her old man did not let go, and no one in the family dared to take Gu back.

Although Chunqiu felt sorry for Chunhua and Xiaoshi for not having a mother for the time being, if she thought that her eldest aunt would continue to make trouble when she came back, she still hoped that her eldest aunt would come back later, don't blame her for being cold-blooded and impersonal, it was really her eldest aunt... can make a fuss, why did she fight before, it's not because the Gu family can't get used to the Yu family picking more persimmons, if it weren't for her grandmother leading people over, maybe how much trouble it would have got.

Although her eldest aunt was driven home very pitiful, but the poor person must have something to hate, not to mention anything else, just use the silver money to subsidize the mother's family, which has already made the Yang Li family very disgusted, this is the old Yang family's silver money, and it is not a strong wind, you can take a little bit during the New Year's holidays, and you actually give it every once in a while, and you are not so generous to your own daughters, can this not make Yang Li blow up? What's more, this matter was carried out secretly without letting Yang Li know, but her eldest aunt not only did not hide it, but also let the cautious person of the seventh grandmother bump into it, her grandmother is a person who wants a lot of face, for this matter, she has to give the seventh grandmother a low and small, it is strange not to be angry, but even if the eldest aunt does something, her grandmother will not easily let the eldest uncle divorce his wife, after all, it will not have a good impact on Yang Chunjun, who will be admitted to school in the future, anyway, Spring and Autumn has nothing to say, she just hopes that her eldest aunt will really have a snack when she comes back next time!

Don't make grandma angry, although the probability of being divorced is not large, but if her aunt is unrepentant, maybe her grandma can really be ruthless, but these have nothing to do with her, she just has nothing to do with it.

The hot pot thing is waiting for the result, and the rare free time Spring and Autumn naturally picked up her own job again, drying herbs, and after a while, she will go to Black Mountain Town, and then these medicinal materials will be handed over directly to Grandpa Zhou, which can be regarded as the next tuition, well, that's how Spring and Autumn is defined anyway, she is not a person who will take advantage!

"Third Sister, Third Sister"

"Eh, what's the matter?" asked Chunqiu, looking back at the small stone running over.

"Third sister, you said that I went to beg my father, can I bring my mother and eldest sister back? My mother has been taking care of my grandmother for several days, I... I think they're going to be" After Xiao Shi finished speaking, he cried directly in front of Chunqiu in a low voice.

Chunqiu hurriedly wiped Xiaoshi's tears, and comforted while wiping, "Have you told the second sister about this?"

"No... I don't dare," Little Stone sobbed back.

"This matter, don't cry yet" Chunqiu looked at the little stone and was about to cry again, hurriedly reached out and covered the little stone's mouth, and then carefully looked around, and after finding that there was no one, he dragged the little stone directly behind the pear tree.

The pear tree in Chunqiu's house can be the thickness of one person, and the two of them in Chunqiu can stand behind it tightly, and Chunqiu has a serious look on the small stone with teardrops in the corner of his eyes, and he lowered his head and whispered, "Don't ask, otherwise the eldest aunt will come back even slower."

Xiao Shi is still young, and he doesn't understand the thoughts in the Spring and Autumn Words, but he only knows that her third sister won't let him beg his father, so won't his mother come back? Thinking of this, Xiao Shi pouted again and was about to cry.

"Oh, okay, don't cry" Chunqiu looked at the little stone that had been harassing him for the past two days, and sighed helplessly, what can you say, can you say that your mother did it herself? Or is it that grandma is not angry, and your mother can't come back. Even if he said it, he didn't understand, not to mention that Xiaoshi only knew that her mother had gone home to take care of his grandmother, and he didn't know anything else.

Chunqiu looked at Xiao Shi's slightly red eyes helplessly, and whispered, "Xiao Shi, your grandmother may have too many things at home, and your mother will come back after waiting for two days?" Don't worry, Xiao Shi is already a little man, you can't cry easily, otherwise your mother will definitely beat you when she comes back..." Chunqiu's coaxing and threatening words successfully calmed Xiaoshi again, and the child's attention came and went quickly, Chunqiu was afraid that Xiaoshi was thinking, and led him out to play with Huzi, and waited until a few people went home after playing, and this matter was considered to be in the past.
