Fujiwara brush Xiong is really polite, polite people can't accept it, yesterday I gave a white bear skin, maybe I feel that the gift is too light, today I directly pulled a large cart of gifts and put it in the gatehouse.

Seeing a cart of gifts, Zhen Qian was really dumbfounded, he is also a small landlord, so he doesn't need to be so polite!

Fujiwara-kun...... What are you doing, you can't get it, I can't accept this gift! ”

Zhen Qian hated that the Japanese State had robbed them of gold and silver (there really were gold and silver mountains, not mythical stories), but now he didn't have the strength, and he didn't want to accept the gifts of the Japanese people in vain.

"Zhen Sihu, the culture of the Tang Dynasty has long been admired by the Japanese Kingdom, and it is natural to make friends when you can see talented people in the Tang Dynasty, these small profits are not a tribute, and I hope that Zhen Sihu will not shirk it, so as not to let the people of the world underestimate the sincerity of the Japanese Kingdom!"

It's really direct enough, no wonder the Tang celebrities and Tang envoys talked about wine one by one, and the other party was really willing to bleed!

Since it is a courtesy exchange, Zhen Qian will naturally not be polite, but when Fujiwara Shuxiong returns to China, he will give him a car of soap and perfume, let him laugh secretly!

"Haha...... I'm disrespectful! ”

Zhen Qian invited Fujiwara Shuxiong to the living room and sat down as guests.

Fujiwara brushed the sheepskin on the warm kang, and said in surprise: "It's cold to the bone outside the house, and there is no brazier inside the house, but it's unusually warm, but there is a wall of fire?" ”

Zhen Qian was noncommittal, added a few pine cones to the red clay stove on the table, the kettle was steaming, and he carried a purple teapot to fill the white porcelain cup with tea: "Fujiwara-kun first taste the Zhen family's unique black tea, which will drive away the cold and warm the stomach, and also promote digestion and increase appetite!" ”

Fujiwara Shuxiong usually drinks Tang tea soup, and just now he saw Zhen Qian silently fiddling with the tea set in front of him, and thought that he was going to perform a tea ceremony for himself. But it doesn't look like it left and right, and it's not good to ask recklessly, so I deliberately provoke other topics.

The tea soup in the white porcelain cup is red, the aroma is rich, and the taste is mellow and sweet when you drink it, and you can't help but be surprised: "Good tea!" The meaning is still unfinished, the aftertaste is endless, and the trip is not in vain if you have drunk this tea in your life! ”

"The expression is really exaggerated, isn't it kung fu tea? You don't need to take a sip and want to die! ”

Zhen Qian despised these overseas monkeys in his heart, and he wanted to learn everything when he came to Datang, and if he couldn't learn it, he would rob it, and he was vulgar and ugly, and he didn't know how to be honest, "Since Fujiwara-kun likes it, take some with you when you leave, this tea can't be drunk in other places!" ”

Fujiwara Shuxiong was not only not happy when he heard this, but a little lost: "Zhen Sihu really doesn't want to go to the Wa Kingdom with me to see, where the people are also simple, outstanding people, and extremely prosperous, if Zhen Sihu is not used to it in the Wa Kingdom, he can return to China with the Tang envoy in two or three years."

Zhen Qian was really unhappy, he hadn't seen a stalker, and his face sank and said: "Fujiwara-kun don't mention this matter again, otherwise don't blame me for sending off guests!" ”

Fujiwara Shuxiong was really displeased when he saw Zhen Qian, and hurriedly bowed to him: "Meng Lang, Zhen Sihu is not strange!" ”

Zhen Qian couldn't continue to give him a look, and immediately changed to a gentle and drizzly expression: "Since Fujiwara-kun has come here, why don't you eat at home at noon today?" ”

"Thank you!" Fujiwara Shuxiong is also not polite, it seems that he will not be able to drive away for a while: "Yesterday I was greedy for a cup, and after I woke up, I knew that Zhen Sihu had returned home, and I came to visit him today, and by the way, I brought someone to Zhen Sihu?" ”

"Alone?"

Before Zhen Qian could figure out what was going on, a woman wearing a curtain fence walked in outside the door, and first saluted Fujiwara Shuxiong: "Thank you Fujiwara-kun for redeeming her slave!" ”

"Why is this voice so familiar", I saw this woman when I was at the door just now, and I thought it was Fujiwara Shuxiong's maidservant, but it didn't seem to be what I thought.

Fujiwara Shuxiong looked back at Zhen Qian, "This woman has a crush on Zhen Sihu, I'm afraid Zhen Sihu doesn't know yet!" Come and meet Zhen Sihu! ”

The woman picked up the curtain fence, Zhen Qian was stunned for a moment, isn't this the little lotus of Yanchun Building? How did you get mixed up with Fujiwara Shuo?

"...... this?"

"Slave Xiaohe has seen Lang Jun!"

"Lang is talented and beautiful, a good couple is natural, how can such a good thing not have a drink, Xiaohe is not ready to serve Zhen Sihu? He accomplishes good things every day, and don't forget to do it today! ”

Zhen Qian smiled bitterly in his heart, who said that the Japanese people are all rectums, and he didn't know Xiaohe's thoughts, but he didn't expect Fujiwara Shuxiong to handle the matter on all sides, and the person had already sent it to the door, and it would not work if he didn't accept it.

"Thank you Fujiwara-kun, I really want to have a drink today, for a meeting with Fujiwara-kun!"

"There are also lovers who will eventually become married!"

Zhen Qian pursed his lips, when did he want Fujiwara to be a matchmaker, and now he feels more and more that Fujiwara is not simple.

"There are so many people in the world who like it, if you like someone and stay in the backyard, won't the backyard be full!" The emperor has the habit of taking advantage of the world's beauties in the harem, and he dominates thousands of beauties, but he also has to stage a farce of thousands of favors, although Xiaohe is interested in himself, but he can't want to take it for himself.

Fujiwara Shuxiong smiled, and found that he had seen a scholar in the room until now, compared to other wealthy families, there were indeed not many people in this courtyard, and there was really a hermit style, so he couldn't help but glance at Zhen Qian again.

"The small is hidden in the wilderness, the middle is hidden in the city, the big is hidden in the court, and the fame and fortune are also indifferent."

Fujiwara brushed the male horses like a tide, Xiaohe stood beside him with low eyebrows, seeing that Zhen Qian did not refuse to be happy in his heart, he poured tea and water for the two.

Ju Niang came back and didn't need to be drunk in the fairy building to deliver food, and after a while, the wine and food were prepared, it was a sheep scorpion hot pot, plus a few plates of meat and vegetarian side dishes, and it was steaming and warm.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was a habit of eating two meals a day, and the habit of three meals a day only became popular in modern times.

The ancients had two meals a day, and the first meal was called morning food, also known as gluttony. The ancients marked the time according to the position of the sun in the headspace, and the sun traveled to the southeast corner called the corner, and the morning eclipse was before the corner, and that moment was called the eclipse time. Roughly guessed, it corresponds to about nine o'clock in the morning.

The second meal is called feeding, and it is also called eating. It is generally eaten at the time of Shen (around 4 o'clock in the afternoon), so the "Shuowen" says: "Feed, eat at the time of Shen".

Because two meals a day are "made at sunrise and rested at sunset", the ancients did not have the habit of taking a nap.

There is also an allusion to this habit: Zai Yu (a disciple of Confucius) slept during the day, and Zi said: 'Rotten wood cannot be carved, and the wall of dung cannot be enclosed. ”

Why is Confucius so angry when students sleep during the day? For "day and night" must be between meals, eating and sleeping, waking up and eating, and soon the sun will set and go to bed again, and nothing will be done on this day. The ancients had a daily routine between meals, getting up to eat a meal, and eating another meal before going to bed, which is the source of day and sleep.

Fujiwara Shuo looked at the hot pot gurgling and steaming, and was suspicious, the Tang Dynasty had a separate meal system and a joint meal system, usually during field outings, that is, later generations sat down to eat together. The more high-end banquets come and go, the more attention is paid to meal etiquette, Fujiwara Shuxiong is not a lower riba person, the emperor's banquet is not less, Chang'an high-end restaurants are frequent customers, but I have never seen such tableware and banquet methods.

"...... this?"

"Mandarin duck hot pot, half clear soup, half red soup, next to it are all ingredients and side dishes", Zhen Qian picked up a piece of fish fillet, Ju Niang's knife work is good, cut the fish slice as thin as cicada wings, the fish fillet is cooked after a pot shabu, and it melts in the mouth with the sauce: "Taste ......!" ”

Fujiwara Shuxiong learned Zhen Qian's movements, for fear that the action was wrong and rude, picked up a piece of mutton roll and put it in the pot, and instantly the red and white mutton roll turned dark brown, stained with sauce and put it in his mouth, the freshness of the mutton roll and the deliciousness of the mutton soup filled the entire mouth at once, making Fujiwara Shuxiong's eyes light up: "The world is delicious, hurry!" ”
