Chapter 250: West Lake
Cai Hongming checked the book in his hand, felt it carefully, and found that the weight of the book was wrong.
Although it was only a little bit worse, he still felt it. At this moment, he couldn't help but be interested. When I used to read books, I always saw the protagonist find a treasure map hidden in the mezzanine in the book, or there were martial arts cheats hidden in the words and phrases.
Could it be that he is also the protagonist of the legend, a character who can touch gold wherever he walks? Thinking about it, he hurriedly studied it carefully.
But the results are sad.
Regardless of whether he used the font to interpret it, or he hid his head and tail and interpreted it every three or five times, he didn't find anything special in the words. As for the mezzanine, this book is originally a single page, and it is not thick, so naturally there is no such thing as a mezzanine.
But why does he still feel weird?
Cai Hongming's repeated observation and research finally made him discover that something was wrong.
This book about medicinal food is an old-fashioned thread-bound book, which looks like nothing on the surface, but the thread-bound parts are a little more bulging than ordinary thread-bound books. Could it be that there is something strange about this? Curiosity, he pulled the book thread apart, removed the book, and suddenly found that there was a piece of silk woven into a silk scarf hidden in the thread-bound bookhead.
The yarn is so light and weak that you can't even perceive its weight unless you feel it carefully.
Perhaps it is too long, the yarn is dark yellow, and the five-colored silk thread is embroidered with dense words. Each text has a color, and the five colors are arranged in five words. If you read it in the order of the words, it seems to tell a story, but if you read it according to the color, it is a different article.
The text composed of the five colored characters also speaks of medicinal diet, but it is different from the medicinal diet written in the book and is almost indistinguishable from the general road goods, and it is obviously a medicinal diet for practitioners.
The five-color characters embroidered on the yarn correspond to the five elements, and also correspond to the five realms of cultivation, such as foundation building, enlightenment, integration, heartbeat, and golden pill. Except for the low-level foundation building and opening the light of the above, he knew some of the medicinal materials above, and he had almost never heard of the medicinal materials in the Jindan realm. However, according to Cai Hongming's thoughts, it is estimated that he will not be able to cultivate that realm in his life, so he will not bother with that leisure.
I looked at it, put it away, and put the book back in place.
The daughter has fallen asleep, and only the wife is still lying on the bed looking at her mobile phone and waiting for him.
Shi Wan'er was dressed in a transparent silk silk dress, **** half-exposed, a charming style rippled people's hearts, Cai Hongming couldn't help but lean up, and grabbed the clothes with his hands irregularly.
"What are you doing with your daughter next to you? Be careful to wake her up. Shi Wan'er pushed him shyly.
"Otherwise, let's go to the bathroom." Cai Hongming hugged his wife and said.
"Hmm." Shi Wan'er answered softly, and Cai Hongming picked her up and walked to the bathroom, and then there was a storm and a soft cry of nightingales from inside
The trident is rumored to be the weapon of the Greek god of the sea, Poseidon, and the rugby team named after the trident is naturally extraordinary.
The West Lake Trident rugby team is the last stop of the national journey of the Xidu Shengjing rugby team.
In order to avoid defeat in the end, when they heard the bullish name of Trident, everyone unanimously invited Cai Hongming to play. As soon as the result came on, it was hell. The trident, which sounds like a bullish name, is like an earthen tile stove, which has been destroyed and bulldozed.
So much so that after two or three fights, Cai Hongming didn't want to fight, so he asked Liu Chong to go up, and the result was the same.
After the game, Cai Hongming gave them a few days off to have fun, and he also took his wife and children to visit the beautiful scenery of West Lake.
West Lake is indeed a good place, standing by the lake, thinking about the romantic story of Xu Xian and the White Lady, the whole person feels affectionate.
It is said that the women by the West Lake are very sensual and especially easy to soak, so many people also call the West Lake a holy place of love.
It's just that there are too many people in West Lake now, and basically tourists from all over the world come to play every day. When it comes to Saturdays and Sundays and other holidays, it is even more unbelievable, that is called a sea of people, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they rub shoulders and sweat like rain. So if you want to go to West Lake to play, it's best to choose a time that is not a holiday, it is best to have a cold winter, when there are the least people.
However, there are also some places where there are fewer people, such as Shangtianzhu and Zhongtianzhu on Tianzhu Road by the West Lake.
Because there are too many people, Cai Hongming took his wife and children to take a walk around the West Lake, and came to Qinghefang at the foot of Wushan Mountain, which is also an ancient pedestrian street in Hangzhou.
Qinghefang, the history originated in the Southern Song Dynasty.
In 1127, when the Jingkang Change, Song Huizong, Song Qinzong and more than 1,000 royal ministers were captured by the Jin State, the ninth son of Song Huizong, King Kang, Zhao Gou, inherited the throne of the Great Song Dynasty in Nanjing Yingtianfu, in order to continue the Song Dynasty's imperial system and legal system, the country name is still Song, known as the Southern Song Dynasty, and then moved to Lin'an, which is now Hangzhou.
After the Southern Song Dynasty set the capital of Hangzhou, it made great efforts to build, so there was a saying that "build a nine-mile imperial city and open a ten-mile heavenly street (now Zhongshan Middle Road)".
At that time, on the periphery of the palace and on both sides of the Heavenly Street, the emperor's relatives and powerful servants built palace private residences one after another. To the east of Zhonghe, Deshou Palace was built, Shanghuaguang was built Kaiyuan Palace, Houshi Street was built Huiwang Mansion, and Huimin Street was built Longxiang Palace. The name of Qinghefang is related to Zhang Jun, the Taishi at that time.
In the third year of Jianyan (1129), Zhang Jun repelled the Jin soldiers in Mingzhou (now Ningbo), achieved a great victory at Gaoqiao, and was named the king of Qinghe County in his later years, and was greatly favored.
He built the Qinghe County Mansion in Taiping Lane, Hefang Street, so this area is called Qinghefang.
During the Southern Song Dynasty, Qinghefang was lined with shops, restaurants and tea shops, and it was the political and cultural center of Hangzhou and a gathering place for merchants. After the Yuan, Ming, Qing and Republic of China periods until the early days of liberation, this area is still a prosperous commercial area in Hangzhou.
It's not a Sunday, so there aren't a lot of pedestrians on the streets.
Cai Hongming took Shi Wan'er and Chu Chu into Qinghefang, and the little guy was immediately attracted by all kinds of strange things on the street.
Of course, what attracted her the most was the large amount of food.
The little guy hadn't eaten the candy man yet, so Cai Hongming bought her a big lobster to eat. The little guy clicked and chewed and licked, and his mouth never stopped since. Shi Wan'er is like a child, when she saw her daughter eating, she wanted to eat it herself, so she asked Cai Hongming to buy her one too.
Cai Hongming glanced at her and said in his heart How old are you, but he still obediently bought her a little tiger.
The little guy saw it and felt that his mother's tiger was more powerful than his own big lobster, so he exchanged it with his mother.
As a result, there was a picture of a mother and daughter taking turns to eat candy on the street.
Cai Hongming stayed away from them, saying that he didn't know them, and took a photo of them, planning to go back and post them on the Internet for people to enjoy.
Walking through the blue brick pavement of the ancient street, flanked by Ming and Qing dynasty style buildings, soaring eaves, empty panes, antique texts, and clerks in ancient costumes - walking on this street, you will feel that you have suddenly blended into the past years.
Every time he walks on this kind of ancient street, Cai Hongming feels very much, as if he has returned to ancient times, as if his soul has been washed again, and there is a feeling of returning to the basics.
Especially seeing the charm of the water town with white walls and gray tiles in the south of the Yangtze River, small bridges and flowing water, he can't wait to live here.
But perhaps, what he likes is not the scenery of Jiangnan, but the delicacy of Jiangnan women and the lightness of Wu Nong's slang.
Qinghefang Street should be the only intact old neighborhood in Hangzhou, which is the epitome of Hangzhou's long history.
There are many century-old shops on the street, such as Wang Xingji, Zhang Xiaoquan, Bandung Ham Stack, Huqing Yutang, Fang Huichun Hall, Ye Chongde Hall, Baohe Hall, Zhuangyuan Hall, Wang Runxing, Yiyuan Gold Store, Jingyang Guan, Yangtang Restaurant, etc. are concentrated in this area.
When I got here, I had to bring some souvenirs back, so Cai Hongming took his wife and daughter to buy and buy.
Zhang Xiaoquan's scissors, the ham of the Bandung ham stack, the sandalwood fan of Shengtan Pavilion, the glaze of the glaze shop, the sachet of Hu Qingyutang, the sword of Ouyeel sword, and the unique embroidery handicrafts of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, all of which were bought by Cai Hongming himself, were really tired.
But then he learned smartly, and the things that were too heavy were directly packed by the store and sent back by express.
The century-old shops on the street are very famous, among which the Ouyeel sword is one of the most well-known traditional handicrafts in the country, it is famous for the four characteristics of "tough and sharp, rigid and soft, cold light and ingenious decoration". Ou Yezi, the founder of Ouyeel Sword, was the one who forged the first iron sword in Chinese history: "Longyuan" (Longquan Sword), creating a precedent for Chinese cold weapons.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, King Yue was famous for "lying on salary and tasting gall".
According to legend, the sword of the king of Yue was cast by Ou Yezi, which was originally owned by the prince of Wu, and the more Wu was destroyed, and it was obtained by Goujian, the king of Yue. After this sword was unearthed in 1965, it caused a great sensation and was praised as a "rare treasure" by the world. At present, the command knife of the National Flag Guard, the Dalian Female Mounted Police, the Taiyuan Mounted Police, and the Wenzhou Mounted Police are all designed and cast by Ouyeel Sword.
The hundred-year-old store is worth mentioning as well as Hu Qingyutang.
Speaking of Hu Qingyutang, I have to say his founder Hu Xueyan.
Hu Xueyan is a legendary figure, his original name is Hu Guangyong, his young name is Shunguan, the word is Xueyan, the original Jixi people in Huizhou, Anhui. When he was young, due to the poverty of his family, he made a living by helping people herd cattle. Although he was poor, he was not ambitious, and he showed the character of honesty and not greed when he was young. One day, he picked up silver in the middle of the road, and he was afraid that the owner would be in a hurry, so he waited by the side of the road and returned it to the owner who lost the silver. The owner was a merchant in Hangzhou, and he felt his sincerity, and came again the following year to take him to Hangzhou to learn to do business.
This is where his legend begins.
Because he was talented, diligent and studious, did not seek personal gain, coupled with boldness and carefulness, self-confidence and honesty, he soon jumped from a small man to the boss of Fukang Qianzhuang, and then to a Huizhou business giant. In the eleventh year of Xianfeng (1861), when the Taiping army attacked Hangzhou, Hu Xueyan purchased and transported arms and grain from Shanghai and Ningbo to help the Qing army, won the trust of Zuo Zongtang, and was appointed as the chief manager, presiding over the money, grain, and military salaries of Zhejiang Province, so that Fukang Qianzhuang benefited greatly, and also embarked on the road of government and business.
It's just that success is also official business, and defeat is also official business.
Later, because of the silk industry, he was squeezed out by foreign businessmen, and was forced to sell at a low price, and his assets were halved. After that, bureaucrats from all over the country competed to withdraw money, extortion and extortion, which caused the failure of capital turnover, and finally was ordered by Cixi to be dismissed from his post and investigated, and the crime was strictly pursued and punished, and finally ended up depressed.
Therefore, although it is good to have the government as the backstage, it is unpredictable. (To be continued.) )
