(Comrades, vote for the recommendation vote, Sanjiang vote, we want to enter the top three of the recommendation vote!) )

In fact, Brother Xiaoliang is too careful, and the people of Juxian County will only feel that the Chen family lives in the courtyard of Sanjin, and they will only feel that the family is too low-key. And he hired a mother a few years ago, which made the lame Wang who sold fruits on the street unbearable: "To say that Chen Xiucai's family is a good person, but he doesn't know how to enjoy it!" If I had a son of the God of Wealth, I would have hired a gentleman, a cook, and a housekeeper...... There are also a dozen pretty girls! ”
"Bag ball, people are serious scholars, talking about gentleness, kindness, courtesy, thrift, and letting! You should be one of those filthy people who are superficially Taoist and secretly beasts! Mrs. Liu, who was selling popular scripts on the side, scolded when she heard this: "Besides, who in Juxian doesn't know that the Chen family is generous? Which time to build bridges and pave roads, it is not their family that has contributed the most! ”
"Hey, you old pious woman, how did you take it out of context." In Sichuan in this era, culture and education are flourishing, and there is a faint trend of toppling the Great Song Dynasty. Wang Cripple couldn't cry or laugh: "Let's just say that Chen Xiucai's family doesn't know how to enjoy, when did they say that they were stingy." ”
"Yes, as far as you know how to enjoy it," Mrs. Liu said with a disdainful face: "When I see your Hun family in the future, I won't poke out your dozen pretty girls!" ”
"Liu Ganniang, people want to hire a pretty girl, what kind of vinegar do you eat?" When the vendors on the side heard this, they coaxed: "Look, look, there is indeed adultery!" It turned Mrs. Liu's old face into a red cloth.
"Why is it so lively?" Everyone was laughing, and they saw a young man with a long figure, wearing a tightly dressed raccoon dog sleeve, his hair was tied in a bun with blue silk inlaid with gemstones, and a pair of calfskin boots of primary color were stepped on his feet. Who is the Chen family Saburo who is not loved by everyone?
He was also accompanied by Chen Wulang, who looked like a black tower, and Chen Liulang, who looked like a good wealth boy, and the three of them had a cold meal and went to the street to have fun.
Although the Cold Food Festival is a festival with some tragic colors, the people of the Song Dynasty, who love pleasure, will not let go of any opportunity to eat, drink and have fun. Isn't it forbidden to start a fire on this day? Well, the people of the Song Dynasty prepared cold porridge, cold noodles, cold syrup, green rice and dumplings in advance...... The Song people liked to eat sweet, and 'Ao' was made of starch sugar made from malt or grain sprouts.
In addition to eating, there will be more than ten kinds of drinks alone, such as spring wine, new tea, and clear spring sweet water...... Of course, 'Qingshen Huangjiao', 'Dry Red', and 'Dry White' are indispensable. These three kinds of wine, especially 'Huang Jiao', although they have only appeared for two or three years, have already been well-known in Shuzhong, and even with the obscurity of Qingshen County, they have become famous.
In the Song Dynasty, because of the large number of believers in Buddhism, the society advocated vegetarian food, and meat was rarely seen on the table on the day of the Cold Food Festival. But the Chen family is an exception, Chen Ke formulated recipes according to the scientific dietary standards of later generations, especially since he and his brother are in the adolescence of growing bodies, so meals are inseparable from meat.
Even on such a day when you can't start the fire, there are still white-cut chicken, suckling pigeon, pig's head meat, smoked deer legs, and even a plate of sauced beef on the table...... In this era, it is difficult to get beef even if you have money, you have to rely on luck. Because every cow has a household registration in the government, only the cow brothers unfortunately died of illness, accidentally fell to death, or died of old age, please come to the government to see it, and after receiving the slaughter permit, it can be unloaded.
Because of its rarity, the price of beef is high, and it is not affordable for ordinary people. But don't be too expensive, because the people of the Song Dynasty are not bad for money, no matter how expensive they are, they will be snatched up, and they don't have to buy it if they go late.
However, the Chen family is not short of beef to eat. When the people who wanted to please their family went to the sea, they all knew that the family had a penchant for eating meat, and if there was any rare meat, they would go up to the pole and send it to his house...... In addition to those rare game, it is naturally the most face-saving to send beef.
There are too many people to send, and the Chen family even has a selection of beef, and they don't want to die of illness or old age, as long as the young and healthy cattle that die in an accident are simply bullish. However, people have the capital of cattle, and others take it for granted.
And not just meat? The Chen family's food, clothing, housing, transportation, and all aspects are all worried about and flattered, which obviously cannot be explained only by having money.
What's more, compared with the nouveau riche in Qingshen County, the Chen family is really not grand in terms of food and clothing. But there is no way, who makes the family have a good son?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Give birth to a child like Chen Sanlang!
This is a sentence that has been circulating in Qingshen County in the past two years, and even in the neighboring counties of Pengshan, Leshan, and Meishan.
If you have been to Qingshen a few years ago, you can clearly feel that this small city is not what it used to be. Even the most careless guy can find that this place is much denser, and the front street that used to be bustling only when rushing to the market is now 360 days a year, regardless of time, except for the New Year and rainy and snowy days, all of them are like rushing to the market.
Naturally, the shops are also much denser, and the storefronts of each house are as magnificent as the storefronts in Chengdu, and each store is hung with eye-catching signs, banners, and even tall colorful buildings built with colored silks...... It is called 'Huanmen', which was first used in the Chu Pavilion of Qinlou, and later it was also used by ordinary merchants to attract people's attention.
Looking along the street, countless colorful and colorful Huanmen compete for beauty, and under Huanmen is the flow of people far exceeding the number of residents in this county. These people came from Meishan, Pengshan, Leshan, Chengdu, and even Kuizhou, Luzhou, Bazhou, and Deyang in the distance...... Some come here to make a living, some to buy goods, and some to simply come for admiration.
Why does the small Qingshen County glow with magnet-like magic and attract business travelers from all directions? The secret lies in the unrivalled competitiveness of local specialty products.
The name Qingshen was first known by people from afar, and it was only in the fifth year of Qingli. At that time, a restaurant called Laifu rose here, and the owner of the restaurant actually mastered the stir-fry skills that only a few famous chefs in Bianjing have. Gourmets and rich people from all over the world came to visit, all of them came with pleasure and returned satisfied, and after returning home, they all boasted that they had eaten the best delicacy in the world.
Especially in the sixth year of Qingli, the Rifle Hotel was reloaded, renamed the Rifle Building, the decoration service is excellent, the dishes have become light and elegant, and the taste is more intoxicating, attracting countless poets and guests to write poems and ink, and even give each dish an elegant name. It turned this hotel into a cultural attraction, attracting people from Shuzhong.
But only a few people can go up to the 'Blessing Building', and most of the people can only visit outside, and then fantasize about the 'Flower Snow Silk', 'Delicate Warbler Butterfly', 'Maple Leaf Red Flower', 'Songcui Pearl', 'Peach Blossom Flowing Water' and the like, how high-end, how pleasing to the eye, how delicious...... Then wipe your saliva and go to the restaurants next to you that hang signs such as 'Sailafu', 'Little Laifu', and 'Dongfu Building', and try the copycat version of the famous dish.
To their comfort, all the restaurants in Qingshen County have excellent food quality and have mastered stir-fry techniques. This allows people who can't enter Laifu Lou to taste the legendary magic skills, and naturally brag about it after going back, and even said that the Sprinkle family will eat stir-fried vegetables in Laifu Building!
After coming and going, the fame of Qingshen stir-fry is getting bigger and bigger, and the people who come here are not divided into four seasons, and Qingshen has also become another catering center in the Sichuan Basin outside Chengdu.
There must be good wine if there is food, people in the taste of food, found a local wine called 'Huang Jiao', it seems to be a kind of orange wine, but this kind of wine looks like Chixia, such as amber, clear yellow and bright, fragrant overflowing, drinking it, it is like pecking Qiong Yao swallowing morning dew...... It completely breaks the bad impression that fruit wine is bitter, cloudy, and even has a rotten taste.
This 'Huang Jiao fine wine' met almost all the requirements of the Song Dynasty for wine, it is orange fragrant and delicious, it is clear and charming, it is not easy to get drunk, and it has an ambiguous name. Once you taste it, it's unforgettable. People not only drink 3,000 cups in Qingshen County, but also buy several jars to take home and share with their families and neighbors when they leave.
The fame of Qingshen Huang Jiao has spread far and wide, and foreign merchants with a keen sense of smell have come to buy, and then distributed to all parts of Shuzhong, in just two years, it has become a household name, both men and women eat, and it is known that there are Shu people where there is Huang Jiao wine!
This is simply a miracle, because Sichuan is rich in famous wine, Jiannan, Luzhou, Yibin and other places, ancient times is the production area of famous wine, in Jiannanchun, Yao Zixuequ, Luzhou Laojiao several famous wine joint strangulation, there is almost no room for the survival of the rising generation. However, Qingshen Huang Jiao was able to fight his way out and became a rising star side by side with several famous wines, in addition to meeting all the needs of the Song people for wine, it was also inseparable from the superb marketing methods of its producers.
To put it bluntly, it is not unusual, most wine merchants sell blended wine, but Huang Jiao's producers only sell the original wine, and each family goes back to blend it by itself, which greatly saves transportation costs...... To buy other wine, you need to transport ten barrels, but to buy Huang Jiao, you only need two barrels. It also gave a large piece of profit to distributors. Since selling Huang Jiao is more profitable than selling other wines, wine merchants from all over the world will naturally shout hard for it, and Huang Jiao's own quality is there, and it is logical that she will become an instant hit.
