A five or six-year-old girl with a beautiful appearance and a red skirt pointed at the crazy Wu Qing and said, "Brother, that crazy boy has a bit of talent." ”

The young man wearing a scarf and a gorgeous costume beside him snorted lightly in his nose and said: "Taiping, in your eyes, everyone in the world is talented, and I, who is a brother, is full of cockfighting!" ”

"Okay, okay, my brother Yingwang, aren't you going to accompany my sister and me to visit the East Market today, don't you want to fight cocks with Brother Peiwang again?"

The young man's eyes were a little impatient, his face was a little flushed, he had lost several games in a row with Pei Wang recently, if he didn't win again, it would be really too faceless.

In Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty nowadays, everyone knows the grand occasion of the cockfight between King Pei Li Xian and King Li Zhe of England.

Wu Qing didn't know that there were once such two brothers and sisters talking about him, and he still walked towards the plaque shop like crazy.

After ordering the plaque, Wu Qing returned to the store, fortunately, the store is not very dirty, and there are existing shelves and low tables inside, Wu Qing thought about it, this is not good, you have to get a few high square tables as operating tables, otherwise it is very inconvenient to make zuò.

At this time, with the increasingly close exchanges with the Western Regions, trade has become closer since the Tang Dynasty set up the Anxi Protectorate. Square tables like the Western Regions have been introduced to the Tang Dynasty, and there are high tables and low stools like crescent stools in orchid restaurants. Therefore, it is not difficult to find a high table, and the carpenter shop in Chang'an City will definitely make it.

It didn't take long for Mrs. Wu and others to hire an ox cart and come back, and on the ox cart were five baskets of fresh hawthorn, Wu Qing grabbed two and put them in his mouth and bit them, almost not souring his teeth. They were also bought with saltpeter and various fruits, as well as sugar.

In particular, the granulated sugar, most of which are made of beets and sugarcane, the color is dark and yellow, which greatly affects the appearance, and the rock sugar has not yet appeared at this time, so the rock sugar gourd of Wuqing can only be regarded as a sugar gourd.

Wu Qing can't help this point, although he can improve the sugar boiling technique, but it takes too much energy to do, and a person's energy is limited. What's more, he is still a child, and geniuses are prone to die early, he is only less than seven years old, no matter how he says, he has to live to be seventy years old, otherwise what is the use of practicing martial arts.

After cleaning the shop again, and then storing all the materials, and then began to plan, Mrs. Wu went to the carpenter shop again to order high tables, long benches, insulated wooden boxes and other utensils. Of course, Wu Qing didn't forget to ask Aunt Wu to order a high-legged bookcase, and tell the book herself, how could there be no bookcase.

Wu Qing began to direct Xu Xiaoying and Wang Xiu to set up those low desks. Datang people like to sit on their knees, but he can't let customers kneel and listen to his own story. So I was going to wait for the long benches to arrive, and then replace the straw mats.

In this way, it took two days to prepare, and in two days, the store was completely renewed, and the entire ground floor was used by Wuqing, and the workshop was placed on the second floor.

Wu Qing taught Wu Da Niang and a few others to make zuò sugar gourd, for this childhood favorite, he would do it, when his grandfather saw that he loved this thing so much, he made a lot of it for Wu Qing at home.

The process of making zuò is also relatively simple, first of all, the hawthorn fruit is cut open and the core is removed, because the core inside the hawthorn is relatively hard. The second step is to wash and put them on the bamboo skewers one by one, five or eight in each string, at will. Step 3: Boil the syrup to make it thick and hot. The fourth step is to put the hawthorn fruit that has been skewered into the syrup and rotate it evenly so that the hawthorn fruit sticks to a thin layer of sugar coating, which is very critical and directly affects the taste. The final step is to place the sugar-coated hawthorn nuts on a cutting board covered with a layer of oil or water and let them cool naturally. After cooling, then the sugar gourd is considered to be completed.

Wu Qing explained while making zuò. Because the method is very simple, as long as you do it a few times, you can fully master the heat and skills of sugar coating. Xu Xiaoying and Wang Xiu are not stupid people, so they learned quickly, and what they lack is only a matter of proficiency. Wu Damiang, on the other hand, is more artistic, and the sugar gourd made by her is not only beautiful, but also tastes quite good.

Wu Qing was greatly appreciative, took two strings of sugar gourds and went downstairs, he needed to practice first. When I was a child, I listened to book reviews, but now I am telling my own story, which is not the same. If it doesn't become popular, it will be a very sad thing, and he must practice first.

According to Wu Qing's requirements, a long podium nine feet long, five feet wide and two feet high was built with wooden planks in the back hall, and in the middle of it was placed a three-foot-high bookcase, which was covered with a piece of red Shu brocade. There is a folding fan and a piece of waking wood (shocking wood) on the bookcase, as for this folding fan, it was made by Wu Qing himself, fortunately, he went to Li Bai's hometown to travel in his previous life and bought a folding fan as a souvenir, and also studied it, and the process of making zuò is really simple, so he made it. Besides, the benefits of the folding fan are incomparable to the Datang Pu fan, the folding fan opens and closes between showing the best suave nature, those storytellers talk about the hearty place, isn't it just to open the folding fan and pause slightly.

Wu Qing opened the folding fan suddenly, only to see that the fan was written "fresh and elegant" on the surface, and the other side was written "Mingxin Pure Dao". This is from Wu Qing's handwriting. Although it is not as good as Liu Desheng of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the sage of the Jin Dynasty, and Wen Zhengming hundreds of years later, Wuqing's calligraphy has made great progress after a long period of practice, and those eight characters also have a little eye-catching feeling.

Wu Qing's face was stern, and a trace of nervousness appeared on his immature face, but his eyes were so deep that people couldn't believe that this was a child who was less than seven years old.

There was a startling sound.

"It is said that after the Sui Dynasty conquered the Chen Dynasty and pacified the Lingnan Prefectures, and unified the world, the throne passed to Emperor Yang, and at the beginning of Emperor Yang's accession to the throne, the four seas were leveled, and all the people were happy. "

Wu Qing's "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness" is different from the original, the background of the times is placed in the Sui Dynasty, and the official position is also the official position of the Sui Dynasty. Because since Yang Su, Yang Guang has never appointed a real prime minister.

Of course, Wu Qing's "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness" mainly focuses on "chivalry" and "righteousness", and there is only one center, that is, "the great man of chivalry, for the country and the people", which does not allude to the government, and the Tang Dynasty's broad mind can accommodate the downstream chivalry, which can also accommodate Wuqing's chivalry and righteousness.

Although Wu Qing is ashamed of plagiarizing the cultural heritage of future generations, but in order to survive, in order to better brush up some prestige, he can only plagiarize shamelessly, without a red face and without a heartbeat, according to his heart he can only be regarded as a cultural thief, there is no harm to the country, and the people are more entertaining, which is of great benefit to himself, why not do it.

If you want to blame, blame these cultural heritages for being too classic! What else can someone plagiarize if you don't plagiarize me?

So, Wu Qing ended the drill in the suspense of the first tanuki for the prince. He is looking forward to the future, looking forward to being able to do something in this Tang Dynasty, marrying one or two beautiful lovers who are like flowers and jade, living a free life, and living a second life in vain.

But a thunderbolt on a sunny day instantly overwhelmed Wu Qing, and Li Ji went.
