The red sandalwood bracelet given to him by Fang Monan is solid, finely grained, dark purple and black in color, and there are Tai Chi gossip carved on it, which does not destroy the natural texture of the wood at all, which is invisible to the naked eye and can only be seen under the microscope.

The texture of red sandalwood is slender and floating, and there are endless changes, especially its deep tone, which appears stable and generous and beautiful.

As soon as Ye Laosi put it on, he felt a warm breath wrapped around his wrist.

In fact, Taoism also has a relationship with rosaries, and Ye Laosi said that he was a monk, and Fang Menan did not explain, so this explanation was long.

The earliest record of the Taoist rosary comes from the "Orthodox Taoist Collection" Cave Xuanbu Spectrum - Taiji Gexian Gongchuan - "Shangqing Collection" cloud: When Ge Xiaoxian first made alchemy, he often held the rosary in his hand, and often recited the full number of the Jade Emperor 10,000 times a day by the Dan fireside.

"Dao Fa Hui Yuan" records: "Whoever comes out of the gods, he should first refine the qi and become a god. Sitting flat on the face of Wangfang, tying shoes with the gizzards of the vein, four movements for a breath. Qing prayer beads, pinch a bead for each breath, each amount of people usually go in and out, gradually add, don't work hard, I'm afraid it's inconvenient.

The method of reciting the holy name of Tianzun with the rosary was advocated by Ge Zu, and later generations did not carry it forward, and later generations only knew that Buddhism had this method.

"Yikes! This is red sandalwood is rare, you are an antiquity! Ye Laosi was surprised, the simple vicissitudes of life, the surface showed a satin-like luster, and it should be worn often to have such a smooth color, so he guessed.

Since ancient times, red sandalwood has been said to be an inch of sandalwood, and it is even more rare to see antiquities like the ones in his hands.

Rosewood can not be grown for thousands of years, and as the saying goes, "ten sandalwood and nine emptiness", the largest diameter of rosewood is only about 20 centimeters. You can imagine how precious it is. Among all kinds of hardwoods, rosewood has the finest texture, the heaviest weight of wood, and sinks when it enters the water. The grain of sandalwood is not obvious, the color is orange-red at first, and the dark purple is like lacquer for a long time, and the annual ring pattern is almost invisible. The veins are extremely fine and twisted like cow's hair. In addition, it is recorded in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" that red sandalwood can stop bleeding, relieve pain, and regulate qi and blood.

"Purple" means auspiciousness, coupled with the unique excellent wood properties and rarity of red sandalwood. Therefore, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, rosewood was highly cherished by the royal family. The emperors of the two dynasties spared no expense, and gathered the world's skilled craftsmen to create all kinds of rosewood furniture and ornaments.

Large-scale logging began during the Ming Dynasty. Due to the scarcity of red sandalwood, the domestic sandalwood was soon brightened, and then officials were sent to Nanyang to procure. After that, it became a law and continued until the fall of the Ming Dynasty. Not all of the timber purchased is for immediate use, and many of it is stored for later use. This kind of procurement, to a certain extent, has a predatory nature, therefore, the good wood produced in the South Sea Islands has almost been harvested, especially the red sandalwood. All that could be made into articles were bound and carried away. Check the world's red sandalwood, mainly the South Sea Islands. Therefore, by the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, most of the world's red sandalwood was gathered in China, and it was stored in Guangzhou and Beijing. The rosewood used in the Qing Dynasty was mainly mined in the Ming Dynasty, although the Qing Dynasty also used new materials in Nanyang. However, most of them are thick and do not hold and bend straight, which is due to the slow growth of red sandalwood and the fact that it cannot be grown for hundreds of years. Excessive logging in the Ming Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty has not yet been resurrected, and the source is depleted, which is also an important reason why rosewood is cherished by the world.

"Humph! You're still a little bit eye-catching. Fang Monan glanced at him and said, with a smile in his eyebrows, his smile was warm and leisurely.

"Huh! This thread wearing Buddha beads is rare! Ye Laosi pulled hard, and he was quite tough, he really couldn't see what the material was, he fiddled with the Buddha beads, but he didn't see the knots, but he didn't think it would be mortal.

"This is thousand-year-old silk." Fang Monan said lightly with a smile. "Soft, solid and elastic, slashing constantly."

"Liar! That's a plot that only exists in novels. Ye Laosi was surprised.

"Just try it." As soon as Fang Manan's words of the old god fell, Ye Laosi's eldest brother 'Didi ......' rang out.

Ye Laosi made an apologetic gesture and pressed the answer button, his face was calm and unwavering, "Hmm! I'll be right away. ”

Shut down directly, Ye Laosi said, "It's time for me to go." ”

"You wait!" Fang Monan got up and walked towards the house, and when he came out, he was holding a jar of fruit wine and a bag of tea leaves in his hand.

"You're in a hurry, that's all for this time." Fang Monan handed the wine and tea leaves in his hand to Ye Laosi. "And then there's the need to stay safe."

"Thank you." Ye Lao Sidao.

Fang Monan watched Ye Laosi's car disappear from sight, and was just about to turn around when he saw his grandmother leading the children back.

So he stopped, "I'm back so soon." Fang Menan said with a smile.

"Sister, do you have anything to eat?" Dabao and Erya rushed over and hugged her thighs directly, "We're so hungry!" ”

Fang Monan looked at the two of them amusedly, "Hungry! You brought a lot of dry food with you when you went up the mountain. "Even if you don't eat in the mountains, you won't be hungry.

Now Lingshan with the economic development of Yunxian County and the people in the temple have also turned into four directions, renovated it, and the days are a little better, but the aspect of providing food is still the original three kinds of noodles, corn porridge, and corn porridge. These are free, but people who eat generally do not eat and drink for nothing, either carry some rice and flour grain, or give some charity as they like, or help the cook, and make good connections.

The quality of the food can be imagined, but practitioners don't pay attention to these things, and others just come to remember the bittersweet ones.

"What do you want to eat? It's past dinner. Fang Monan pinched the little noses of the two left and right and said......

"I see so many green peppercorns on the pepper tree, it's good to use them to make two dishes." Dabao pointed to the pepper tree not far away, which was already full of green peppercorns, waiting for the sun to turn brown.

Sichuan pepper has a pungent taste, hot sex, and returns to the spleen and stomach meridians;

It has the effects of aromatic stomach, warm and cold, dehumidification and pain relief, insect killing and detoxification, itching and fishiness;

It mainly treats vomiting, cold and dampness, toothache and other symptoms.

According to Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica", it is recorded: "Zanthoxylum pepper has strong teeth, black hair, bright eyes, long-term service, good color, anti-aging, age-increasing, and healthy." ”

Sichuan pepper is a unique spice in China, ranking first in the seasoning "thirteen spices". Sichuan pepper is an indispensable and common flavoring agent in Chinese cuisine, it exists in the kitchen of every family, and it is the magic magician in the kitchen. Sichuan pepper can remove the fishy smell and oil of meat in cooking, and it is more fragrant and spicy to be loved by the Chinese people and widely used in cooking.

Zanthoxylum pepper fruit can not only be used as a flavoring agent, but also a kind of traditional Chinese medicine with good medicinal value. Sichuan pepper has a slightly spicy taste in traditional Chinese medicine, but it is a mild Chinese medicinal material. Not only can it stimulate the taste buds to increase eating, but it can also warm the body, get rid of cold and dampness, and protect our stomach and spleen. It can be taken internally and externally to resist mosquito bites and skin diseases. Sichuan pepper can also dredge our stomach and intestines, promote the elimination of fecal furosemide, and eliminate the edema caused by excess water staying in the abdomen.

In addition, Sichuan pepper can also have a good relieving effect on the pain of women's menstrual period. Zanthoxylum pepper can also treat small insects in the stomach and intestines of children or adults, and has the effect of repelling insects and killing insects. Especially in winter, eating more peppercorns can get rid of the cold caused by cold weather in winter, and have a certain effect on the treatment of high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease.

After listening to Fang Monan, "It turns out that there are so many benefits of Sichuan pepper, and I have never known it after eating Sichuan pepper for so many years." Old Man Lin smiled, "Then let's pick some vegetables and cook them." ”

Old Man Lin led the two little ones to pick green peppercorns, and Fang Monan caught two big grass carp from the reservoir and caught a pheasant. That's enough for them to eat.

Fang Monan made three dishes, pepper fish fillet, pepper fish, and pepper chicken.

Sichuan pepper fish fillet is born with the characteristics of boiled fish, but you can't see the figure of "Da Hong Pao" chili, in fact, the rich hemp aroma is its real signature. After eating the fish, the fragrant milky soup is still the best choice for bibimbap.

"It's worthy of being a peppercorn, this pepper is really enough, and a whole layer on it is clearly visible." Grandma pulled her hand and said with a smile.

"Hurry up and eat." Fang Monan said with a smile. "Go and call Aunt Shanglian and Ah Jiu."

Grandma smiled, "I'll go, we ate some food on the mountain, but we're not as hungry as the two of them." After the words fell, Grandma turned around and went out, and a moment later, the three of them came in together.

"Come on...... Have a seat! Try our Nannan, but I haven't cooked for a long time. Old Man Lin handed them the dishes and chopsticks.

He was busy a while ago, and Fang Monan couldn't take care of cooking, so the old man said that.

Delicious! After eating, everyone is busy and doing his own thing.

*************************

In the evening, the colorful glow on the horizon has reflected the capital into a dazzling golden yellow, Ye Laosi's inconspicuous black Santana car blends into the traffic flow, he looks at the cars coming and going outside the window, he has not come back for a few months, and the traffic flow in the capital has increased a lot! In some places, it was even a little crowded, which was not visible in Moscow in the Soviet Union.

Since the Asian Games were held half a year ago, the capital has entered a period of rapid economic development, with spacious streets and high-hanging overpasses, which can be seen everywhere in the capital at this time.

Ye Laosi was a little stunned, looking at the young people's energetic smiling faces, he felt that he was getting old fast!

"Boss, where are we going?" The person sitting in the passenger seat turned around and asked, this person looked featureless, an ordinary person, but his eyes were as black as ink, and he was always scanning the surroundings.

"Go to the National Defense University." Ye Laosi said in a deep voice.

Outside the gate of the National Defense University, Ye Laosi pressed down on the big brother, and after the phone was dialed, "Hey! Hello! I'm He Junyao. He Junyao said in a low and cold voice.

"It's me, I'm at the school gate." Ye Lao Sidao.

"Fourth." He Junyao's voice was still calm, "I'll be here right away." (To be continued.) )
