Chapter Seventy-One: It's New Year!
"What do you think of the whole pig feast?" Li Hao is watching the people in the restaurant eat with his hands behind his back at the moment, and his mood is particularly comfortable and satisfied, which is a gourmet's reaction to his work. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Delicious! Very tasty! ”
What kind of image these things can no longer be seen in the eyes of these people at this time, especially a guy who started to say that pork is not delicious, is now grabbing a braised pig's trotters with both hands and gnawing hard.
The image is very rude and indecent, and the mouth is full when he answers. As for what he said just now, I'm afraid I forgot it all.
At this time, the voice of the system sounded in Li Hao's head, and Li Hao was overjoyed after hearing it. I was thinking about the sake of wine, and as a result, I came to a piece of wine brewing technology, which is not too intimate, and even the lottery saved me.
It's just that at this time, the restaurant is full of people, and Li Hao naturally can't check his rewards. But there's no rush for this, when you're done, just take some time for yourself. And it takes time to make wine, so you have to prepare well.
"Brother Li, what should I do if I can't eat without the food of your natural residence in the future?" When these guys were all full of Li Hao and sent them back, they looked at Li Hao with sad faces.
"I can't help this, you are welcome to visit this restaurant in the future, and I can give you a discount at that time." Li Haona didn't know that these guys were joking, and they had a good relationship with each other, so Li Hao naturally had to go back to the joke.
"What I'm looking forward to most now is that the natural restaurant in Chang'an City will open soon, and I won't have to go so far if I want to eat food in the future." After hearing this, Li Ke replied with a smile, he is now more and more interested in Li Hao, and he feels that this is a very interesting person.
After sending these people away, Li Hao's restaurant also closed the door and ate first. After working for a long time, they didn't eat anything. And there's a lot to do later, and no one can be idle.
The small intestine and large intestine of a pig have to be processed, and those who make blood sausages make blood sausages, and those who make sausages make sausages. There are also pig's heads, meat and pig ears, which should be marinated. The other pork should be sorted out, and the marinated should be marinated.
Of course, you have to keep some fresh pork frozen with ice cubes to protect it, and in this kind of weather, such pork can be stored for a little longer. However, this also reminded Li Hao of another problem, that is, the problem of refrigeration.
It seems that people at this time used cellars to store ice for refrigeration, and there were no refrigerators and no cold storage. In this way, the natural dwelling also has to prepare a lot of cellars.
You also have to store more ice cubes for freezing in the winter, which doesn't look very good. Maybe it's not bad to make a simple cold storage, what kind of ice-making technology, you may be able to use points and systems to exchange one.
Dozens of pigs were all ready, and it took Li several days. However, he also let him eat pork for a few days in a different way, and finally satisfied his desire to eat in a certain way.
The teenagers he adopted also fed a lot during this time, and their appearance and appearance were much better than when they first came, and their bodies were much stronger.
After the whole pig feast, Li Hao completed a new hidden task, in addition to the normal task reward points, improve physical fitness and cooking skills, he also got a brewing technique.
After the winemaking technique was mastered, Li Hao suddenly found that he had made a lot of money, and there were not only brewing methods for liquor, but also brewing methods for beer, red wine, fruit wine and other liquors, so that he would not have to worry about no wine to sell in his natural home in the future.
It's just that there is a lot of wine, and it will take a lot of trouble to name it in the future. Everyone is champion red, daughter red or hero wine, do you want to have a two-pot head, Harbin beer, and the Great Wall dry red?
These names are frustrating at first glance, and they have no meaning at all. The ancient people were different from the people of later generations, they had to have a little meaning to make a wine, and in summary, they had to have a sense of literacy. This is a headache for Li Hao.
"It's the New Year!"
"The sound of firecrackers spreads good news, and plum blossoms report good spring."
With the sound of firecrackers, the Spring Festival is coming. The people of Datang are really burning bamboo for firecrackers, and Li Hao's teeth are a little itchy, and it seems that he has to play the whole artillery battle.
It's just that Li Hao knows the approximate proportion of black powder, but he doesn't understand how other gunpowder is made. I don't know when my system can provide a complete set of technology, and it will be possible to dominate the world at that time.
The Spring Festival culture of the Tang Dynasty inherited the ancient customs, and developed greatly on the basis of the Han Dynasty, the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. It feels similar to the later generations, except that some things are slightly different from the later generations or seem a little shabby.
For example, setting off firecrackers, sacrificing ancestors, sprinkling and sweeping courtyards, suspending the market and closing business, pasting peach charms, putting up lanterns, and drinking and talking. These processes are there, but in later generations, firecrackers were replaced with firecrackers, and peach charms were replaced with Spring Festival couplets.
Many Tang Dynasty people who went out were also the same as the people in the Spring Festival army in later generations. Before Chinese New Year's Eve, the family hurried to the house, waiting for the Chinese New Year's Eve reunion for the New Year.
At this time, there were no trains and cars, only two legs to travel, either by horse or carriage, or by boat. You have to prepare for the New Year a long time in advance, otherwise the New Year will be over when you return home.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, the court of the Tang Dynasty had to observe the New Year. On this night, Taichang Siqing, an official in charge of rituals and ceremonies, will also lead his officials and thousands of male and female members of the Royal Song and Dance Orchestra to perform the "Nu Dance" in front of the main hall.
This is a ritual of praying for blessings and exorcism, and the scale and effect are roughly similar to the Spring Festival Gala in later generations. However, it is not a national live broadcast, and there are no national stars all performing, here is only for the emperor and hundreds of officials, and the actors are also from the palace.
At this time, huge candles will be lit in the palace to burn agarwood, making the night like day. The emperor and his concubines, as well as the royal children, would come to watch and comment on the events.
If the emperor is in the mood, he will feast and drink a kind of wine called pepper cypress. His subordinates would lose no time in offering poems and essays to praise the merits of the emperor, and the luxury and luxury of the Tang Dynasty were exact.
The people of the Tang Dynasty were equally festive on the day of the New Year. On Chinese New Year's Eve, eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner and drink peppercorn wine, which is also called Tusu wine.
That is, when drinking, twist the peppercorns on the plate or put some Chinese medicine into the wine to concoct it to dispel cold and dampness, and this custom is retained even in the south in later generations. After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the family sat around the fire to keep watch.
On the first day of the first lunar month, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty wanted to put on a brand-new dragon robe and accept the congratulations of the well-dressed officials. In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the emperor also had to receive distant ethnic minority leaders and envoys of vassal states to worship.
