Chapter 99: Dragon Vein
After Lei Zi came, Xiao Ning also suddenly killed, in her words, it was to see Tang Sancheng, Tang Sancheng immediately blushed, seeing Lei Zi, Xiao Ning was inevitably surprised, smart She guessed that they had action, and they had to follow whether they were alive or dead, this is a piece of kraft candy that can't be shaken off, originally counting on fewer people as much as possible, but now the team is expanding more and more, completely exceeding Bai Yi's expectations, it really responds to that sentence, the plan can't catch up with the change. ()
At the moment, Wu Tong must be carried, only to abandon Liu Zhixi and other young men, even so, the number of people has reached six, after two days of preparation, all the necessary things are brought, this group of people is like a miniature tour group, when on the road, Wu Tong's mouth is closed very tightly, so that Bai Yi has a lot of heart, but he also noticed that Wu Tong looked at Tang Sancheng from time to time, and his heart never dared to fall.
The place Bai Yi chose was located in a place called Weizhuang in the south of Xi'an, where those Tang Dynasty porcelain came from, a farmer found it when digging a canal for irrigation, there were originally six, and when digging accidentally broke two, only four remained, which was a big news at the time, but three or four years have passed, and I don't know what has changed in that place, and I can't find the location of the ancient tomb. ()
Xi'an is the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties, but there are also 16 Dynasties and 17 Dynasties, the Thirteen Dynasties refer to the Western Zhou, Qin, Western Han, Xin, Eastern Han, Western Jin, Qianzhao, Qianqin, Later Qin, Western Wei, Northern Zhou, Sui, Tang and other 13 dynasties built their capitals here for more than 1,200 years, and the Sixteen Dynasties are based on the Thirteen Dynasties plus the Western Han Dynasty at the end of the Western Han Dynasty by Liu Xuan to establish the first regime, by Fan Chong Liu Penzi established the Red Mei regime and Huang Chao established by the Great Qi. The narrative of the Seventeen Dynasties was added to the Dashun and Chimei regimes established by Wu Zhou, Daqi and Li Zicheng.
In Bai Yi's thoughts, even if Weizhuang has no harvest, is it still afraid that he will not be able to find the ancient tomb on such a treasure land?
Came to the center of Xi'an, six people first tasted the authentic food of Xi'an, Xi'an belongs to Guanzhong, Guanzhong people have good pasta since ancient times, it is a must in the attainment of pasta, first of all, it is beef and mutton steamed buns, legend, beef and mutton bubbles are evolved on the basis of the ancient "cattle and mutton soup" in the 11th century BC. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, "cattle and sheep soup" was listed as the "ceremonial food" of kings and princes. According to the "Book of Song", during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Mao Xiuzhi presented the unique taste of cattle and sheep soup to Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty, and Emperor Wu was named Taiguan Shi, and later promoted to Shangshu Guanglu Doctor. ()
There is also a funny legend, the Great Song Emperor Zhao Kuangyin said that the emperor was trapped in Chang'an, living a hungry life all day long, one day came to a shop that was cooking beef and mutton, the shopkeeper saw that he was pitiful, so he asked him to break the dry bun he brought, and then poured him a spoonful of hot broth on the fire to cook thoroughly. Zhao Kuangyin devoured it and felt that its taste was the best food in the world. Later, Zhao Kuangyin yellow robe added, made the emperor, one day, passing by Chang'an, still do not forget the beef and mutton boiled buns that were eaten here, and the minister of civil and military affairs specially found this restaurant to eat beef and mutton steamed buns, still feel delicious, better than the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and rewarded the shopkeeper of this shop. As soon as the story of the emperor eating steamed buns spread, beef and mutton soaked became a famous snack on Chang'an Street. Su Dongpo of the Northern Song Dynasty once had a hymn of "Long cuisine has bear wax, Qin cooks only sheep soup".
Six people a bowl of mutton full buns, eat a full belly, and buy some dry food nearby, fill all the water bottles with water, there are two kinds of food here is very suitable for dry food, one is the pot helmet, the pot helmet is round as a whole, the diameter is about 1 inch, and the weight is 5 catties. Take the wheat flour powder, press the stalks and noodles, and bake in a shallow pot over low heat. () The appearance is yellow, the incision is white, crisp and palatable, and it can be carried for a long time. Among the "Top Ten Monsters of Shaanxi" compiled by people from outside the province, there is a monster called "baked buns like pot lids", which refers to the pot helmet.
There is also a kind of stone bun, the appearance of the stone cake is burnt yellow and bright, the concave edge is protruding, like an oval small golden basin, the layers are distinct after biting, the outside is crispy and the inside is soft, salty and fragrant, and it is durable to store.
Tang Sancheng shouted that he wanted to bring some meat sandwich buns, but Bai Yi vetoed it, but he just went to buy a little marinated beef and mutton to take with him, and the inverted bucket was physical work, and it was not good to have less meat, so after preparing dry food, the six of them rushed towards Weizhuang.
The direction of Weizhuang and Lishan is just opposite, the more you go there, the more desolate it becomes, Xiao Ning looked at the loess outside, and sprayed a little water on his face from time to time, the weather here is particularly dry, Xiao Ning only felt that his face was skinned, Tang Sancheng saw her like this, knew that she loved beauty, and handed her his kettle: "Drink more water."
Xiao Ning glared at him and pushed away his kettle: "Who wants you!" “
The two of them immediately caused a burst of laughter, a trace of crimson flew on Xiao Ning's face, Tang Sancheng just smiled honestly, and now his clear heart for Xiao Ning was known to passers-by.
When arriving at Weizhuang, it is already close to dusk, some scattered caves appear in front of everyone, all the way over, see a lot of this kind of caves built by the mountain or flat ground and hoop, or sink into the ground to build a large well-type courtyard, a hole, a row, far more than 4000 years ago, people living on the Loess Plateau in the north of Shaanxi Province have the custom of digging caves and dwelling. Because the loess on the plateau is clay and hard, it is not easy to collapse. The caves are all built by the mountain, digging holes horizontally in the natural soil wall, the construction is simple, easy to self-build, the cost is low, and the residence is warm in winter and cool in summer.
The cave is attached to the loess, and there is a sense of desolation in front of them, the front six people saw a lot of rows of caves, built in a concentrated manner, but when they arrived in Weizhuang, the cave was thin, it seemed a little scattered, the sky was slowly dark, the six people needed to find a place to live, after some discussion, several people decided to look at the latest and most decent family in the cave to ask for a place to live, and came to the front of the cave, the door was hidden, Xiao Ning shouted first: "Is there anyone?" We would like to ask for a night. “
There was no response inside, and Lei Zi said: "It seems that there is no one, let's find another one." “
At this moment, there was a stumbling inside, and a sound of small footsteps came, a mouthful of Xi'an vernacular, Tang Sancheng didn't understand a word, but he heard Lei Zi talking to the people inside, using the standard Xi'an dialect, which made Bai Yi look at Lei Zi differently, and the people inside heard what Lei Zi said, and walked out quickly, this is an old woman in her sixties, her eyes are obviously not good, she squinted and looked at the few people in front of her, her face was a little panicked.
Lei Zi slowed down his tone and talked to the old woman, and finally turned around: "She agreed, she is the only one in the house now, and the wife and son and daughter-in-law have gone out to visit relatives." “
Bai Yi took out a ten-yuan bill and stuffed it into the old woman's hand: "Old man, this is our accommodation fee." “
The old woman's pleated face showed a smile, and rubbed her hands, not very embarrassed, although it is remote here, but the folk customs are still simple, the old woman took six people into the cave, Tang Sancheng raised his head, this cave is more than three meters high, and the width is more than three meters, this cave should be newly built, the earthen cave is reinforced with stones, forming a stone kiln door, when I first came over, I also saw the reinforcement of the cave with bricks.
The cave extends in all directions, there is a single kiln on the left and right, that is, the room, there are dried peppers and some bacon on the wall, and some corn, the atmosphere of the farmhouse is very strong, the old woman brought six people into a room, there is a kang on the left and right, Xiao Ning's face changed, this is not to let himself live with five big men, right?
Lei Zi smiled and said: "Xiao Ning, you sleep on a kang alone, let's squeeze the five of us, although we are in the same room, don't worry, we won't do anything to you." “
Xiao Ning threw the bag on the kang: "I'm sorry, don't tease me!" “
Everyone burst into laughter, and Bai Yi asked Lei Zi: "You will speak this local dialect, inquire for us, the place where the Tang Dynasty porcelain was dug up at the beginning, this old man is a little old, and he must know about it." “
