Chapter 102 Hot Pot Feeling

After a while, the official invited the three county officials, and they were shocked when they saw the glass mirror: "There is such a glass mirror in the world, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is auspicious, Zhen Dalang...... Are you really willing to dedicate this mirror? ”

When ordinary people get the glass treasure mirror, I am afraid that they will hide it as an heirloom treasure for the first time, and Zhen Qian's willingness to sacrifice the treasure mirror makes people have to question.

Other people have similar thoughts to Feng Wannian, but Zhen Qian himself didn't expect that Feng Wannian and a few people would be so out of shape, and even said that the glass treasure mirror was auspicious, and now the problem is serious?

This glass mirror is just a piece of leftover material after Zhen Qian's experiments many times, and he originally wanted to find someone to send the mirror to Sister Chang'an, so there is no decoration, and it is worth the most hundred wen in Zhen Qian's eyes, if it were not for the difficulty of getting pure white glass, it would not be so rough.

The appearance of the glass mirror is a little poor, which is difficult to seal the imagination and creative thinking of Feng Wannian and others, the treasure mirror should be inlaid with a large number of gems, and the border should also be made of golden silk nan wood in order to meet the emperor's noble identity, and even the wooden box containing the glass treasure mirror should be replaced with .......

If Zhen Qian finally knew that the mirror had become a different look, he would "buy and return the pearls" as soon as possible and cut off all the treasures used for decoration.

The treasure mirror is just Zhen Qian's temporary idea, to see if the so-called auspicious rui can be exchanged for a title and a lord, although he is also an official now, but after all, he has not really received much benefit after amnesia, if he can change to a knighthood, the next thing to do will be an extra layer of umbrella.

Feng Wannian and a few people almost forgot Zhen Qian on the side, and were busy discussing how to re-decorate the glass treasure mirror, and casually wrote a gorgeous recital, talking about the great achievements of Tang Xuanzong, the prosperity of the peace, so as to please the emperor.

After some arguments, Feng Wannian looked up and found that the treasure donor was snubbed on the side, and said in surprise: "The virtuous nephew is indispensable, I wanted to leave you to celebrate, but I still have to discuss how to offer the treasure and not keep the virtuous nephew, how about drinking with the virtuous nephew another day?" ”

Feng Wannian is not crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, but the next thing has nothing to do with Zhen Qian.

Zhen Qian just wanted to say goodbye, but he remembered the real purpose of coming this time, took out a wooden box from his sleeve and respectfully handed it to Feng Wannian: "Mingfu, this is a 30% bonus ...... for restaurants and other shops this year, please accept it!" ”

Feng Wannian and the other three glanced at each other, and said with a smile on their faces: "The virtuous nephew is polite, with this piece of glass treasure mirror, not only will Luquan County's tribute this year be solved, but also will be rewarded by the emperor, I will be able to receive the dividend of the virtuous nephew again!" ”

Everyone nodded yes frequently! With this glass treasure mirror, I can no longer look down on the dividend of Zhen Qian's shop.

Zhen Qian did Luquan County a big favor, Feng Wannian was a little upset, picked up Huaisu's "Fish Eating Post" on the table and said: "There is nothing to be grateful for, this handscroll will be given to the virtuous nephew!" ”

I had long coveted Huaisu's "Fish Eating Post" in my heart, but I hurriedly excused myself: "The kid doesn't dare to stand it!" ”

"Given by the elderly, you must accept it!"

Feng Wannian can't say that he stuffed the "Fish Eating Post" to Zhen Qian, which made Zhen Qian's heart burst into ecstasy, although his brush and calligraphy were rotten and he couldn't see people, but there were few people who didn't like the calligraphy and painting in the world, and he would reluctantly take possession of it if he pretended to postpone it a few times.

A worthless mirror saved a year's worth of shop dividends, and easily deceived Huaisu's "Fish Eating Post", making a lot of money!

Zhen Qian happily returned to his house in Luquan County, the house is not big, and the purchase documents clearly indicate that it covers an area of 10,000 feet, which sounds scary!

One foot in the Tang Dynasty is equal to 0.3 meters, one foot of the house is equal to 0.09 square meters, and 10,000 feet is only 900 square meters.

Zhen Qian didn't want to buy any real estate, especially Luquan County is still a place of commodity circulation, with a large number of businessmen coming and going, and the house price is the same as the state capital, so he can't rent a house in Luquan County at all, so he bought this small courtyard as a place to stay.

The courtyard is divided into a front, middle and back structure, there is a living room in the front yard, and the backyard is a firewood room, a stable, and a kitchen, Zhen Qian lives in the middle room, and there are four side rooms on both sides, and there is usually a family to help clean it.

As soon as Zhen Qian arrived at the door, an old woman walked out of the door: "Da Lang is here, Hao Bantou is waiting for Da Lang in the living room, and he has been sitting for half an hour."

"Mrs. Wang is glad to have suffered you!"

In the living room sat a burly middle-aged man, with a tiger's back and a beard, looking fierce, dressed in regular clothes.

Seeing Zhen Qian walking in from outside the house, he hurriedly stood up and said, "Zhen Dalang is back, but he went to the county office?" ”

"Exactly...... Let Hao Bantou wait for a long time! ”

Hao Bantou's name is Hao Ren, but he doesn't look like a good person, when he was young, he was a tyrant in Luquan County, he was bold and uneven, because he was worried about causing trouble, his family asked someone to find an errand in the county office, but there was no bad deed, and he really couldn't judge people by his appearance.

In ancient times, the government officials ate both black and white, even if they did not do evil, and did not have the high income of national civil servants, the county government would usually give a little reward money, plus the filial piety money around them, and the life was very nourishing.

has been dating Hao Ren for half a year, and they already know each other, and Zhen Qian is not polite to Hao Ren.

"It's not too early, I thought that the Ming Mansion would stay for dinner...... Zhen Qian said with a smile: "Now the stomach is still empty, how about we talk while eating?" ”

Zhen Qian has not lived in the county for a long time, so naturally he has no habit of firing, and Ju Niang, who can cook, goes out of the house, and the meals are all delivered from his hotel.

Soon the Tang version of the hot pot was put in front of the two of them, a copper hot pot, plus six plates of side dishes, and there were warm walls around the house, because Zhen Qian didn't like the cold in the north, so the house built a warm kang and a fire wall early.

Hot pot is not Zhen Qian's first creation, as early as the Three Kingdoms period, some people used copper to make hot pot, but it was not popular at that time, and the shape was naturally different.

Hot pot, known as "antique soup" in ancient times, is named because of the "coo" sound made when the ingredients are fed into the boiling water.

There are currently two theories about the origin of hot pot: one is that in the Three Kingdoms period or the era of Emperor Yang of Sui, the "copper tripod" at that time was the predecessor of hot pot; Another theory is that hot pot began in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the "bucket" in the unearthed cultural relics refers to hot pot.

In any case, hot pot in the modern sense did not really appear until the Ming Dynasty.

"There is a saying about eating hot pot, there must be seven kinds of dishes, namely celery, garlic, green onions, coriander, leeks, fish, and meat, which respectively mean diligence, calculation, intelligence, good popularity, long-term happiness, surplus, and abundance, but today we eat mutton hot pot, which can drive away the cold and warm the stomach and help digestion, and play a role in tonifying the kidney and aphrodisiac......

"Then I want to eat a little more ...... today", Hao Ren's index finger moved, and he feasted on a mouthful of wine and meat: "As soon as the hot pot of Zhen Dalang Restaurant was launched, it was a real hit in Luquan County, and now other restaurants are competing to imitate it, but it is not as authentic as the taste of Zhen Dalang here, and it is a blessing today!" ”

PS: Legend has it that in the late Kaiyuan period, there was a low-level official named Tian Tongxiu, whose official position seemed to be to join the army, in order to please Tang Xuanzong, the table was given to Emperor Xuanzong: One day when he went to work in the morning, he found that Emperor Xuanyuan (that is, Lao Tzu) suddenly descended on the street of Danfengmen. Lao Tzu told Tian to join the army that he gave Emperor Xuanzong a spiritual talisman and buried it under the former residence of Yin Xi, the ancestor of Louguandao. Hurry up and dig it, it's too late.

Yin Xi is also known as "Guan Yin Xi", and when Lao Tzu appeared in the world for the last time, he served as the chief of Hangu Pass. It was because of his warm requests and hospitality that Lao Tzu left a 5,000-word "Tao Te Ching". Therefore, Lou Guandao worshiped him as his ancestor.

When Tang Xuanzong heard this good news, he didn't dare to slack off. Hurry up and send someone to Hangu Pass in Shaanxi to dig, of course I really dug it, although Tian Senjun is a liar, but he is not a fool after all. Emperor Xuanzong was overjoyed, and hurriedly found a place to build a Xuanyuan temple for worship. Tian joined the army and immediately became an official.

Taishang Laojun lives in the Tushi sky, this spirit rune is naturally a treasure from heaven, therefore, Emperor Xuanzong in this year, officially changed the yuan "Tianbao", after which many so-called auspicious Rui are often offered around the place, for a time auspicious Rui is full of land, Tang Xuanzong is not prohibited, and more advocated the heart of many people's deed.
