Chapter 40: Bianliang Xing, Breaking the Ten Thousand Armies with One Force (6)

He Li came to the palace, Song Qinzong's face was excited, "Xianggong came just in time, I am looking for a Taoist immortal master, named Guo Jing, who will know the art of Daomen Liuding Liujia, and will also Buddhism 'Bishamen Heavenly King Law', I am a great Song Dynasty to solve the crisis, it is really the blessing of Taizu Taizong!"

He Li looked to the side, with a jade face and a smile on his face, it was Sun Fu of the Privy Council. He Li stomped his feet and said hurriedly, "The officials are so confused, this Guo Jing's origin is unknown, at this moment, when the teachers and students of Beijing are dying, you are using such unknown people, but you want to mislead the country!"

Sun Fu shook his head, "Xianggong doesn't know, this Guo Jing is known as a thin name in the army, and everyone says that he has a spell, where is an unknown person." At this moment, the Jingshi is besieged, and this person is willing to stand up and serve the country, we should be relieved, why do we obstruct it?"

Song Qinzong nodded with a smile when he heard it, "Extremely!

He Li sighed in his heart, the two of them had already made up their minds to believe in that Guo Jing, how could they stop it, so they had to say again, "Official, can you let that Guo Jing immediately demonstrate the spell he knows, and the ministers and others can also understand one or two." ”

Song Qinzong said embarrassedly, "Immortal Master Guo said, this method costs a lot of money, and it is necessary to gather seven thousand seven hundred and seventy-seven Liujia people in the capital, and it is urgent, I have given money to recruit them, and we are still in the military array, let's see the immortal art again." ”

Sun Fu nodded again and again on the side, and was even happier that he could find an immortal family for the people of the Great Song Dynasty who could save the predicament.

He Li raised his head and asked the sky speechlessly, is it really going to die in the Great Song Dynasty?

Lu Xihua is drinking in Fanlou at the moment, the catering industry in Kaifeng City is the most developed, there are many restaurants, the big one is called the main store, and the small one is called the foot shop. At this time, there are 72 main stores in Kaifeng City, and tens of thousands of foot shops. Located outside the Donghua Gate, the Fan Building is the first of the 72 main stores. There are five buildings in Fan Building, each building has a three-storey structure, finely carved, carved railings and painted columns, this decoration is definitely the most luxurious in Kaifeng, can accommodate thousands of wine guests, the scale is grand, equivalent to the star hotel of Lu Xihua.

Lu Xihua was eating crab roe soup dumplings on the first floor of the street.

Kaifeng's most famous snack is soup dumplings: large bones or meat skins are simmered for a long time, skimmed off the foam, filtered out the greasy, boiled out the collagen, boiled into a pot full of collagen, and when the temperature drops, the soup condenses and becomes a translucent skin jelly (called "crystal jelly" in the Song Dynasty). The jelly is cut into small pieces, wrapped with the minced meat into a thin-skinned bun, and steamed in a small drawer covered with pine needles or lotus leaves. At this time, the skin jelly completely melted, and I couldn't get out of the xiaolongbao, so I held the buns bulging, and when I pressed it gently, the flower branches trembled, and when I took a bite, the juice splashed, and I felt that I was not eating the buns, but drinking soup.

The key to soup dumplings is naturally "soup", there is no soup in the filling, and it is not worthy of being called soup dumplings. The soup of the high-grade soup dumplings comes from the skin jelly, and the soup of the low-grade soup dumplings comes from animal oil ~ The animal oil is melted by heat, and it can also be passed off as the soup, the only regret is that it is too greasy.

Lu Xihua ate crab roe soup dumplings are famous, in the past, there was a traitor Cai Jing invited more than 500 subordinates to eat together one day, and instructed the cook to cook, one of which was this "crab roe soup dumplings", after the meal, the cook calculated the account, "The soup dumplings are more than 1,300 yuan." It can be seen that it took more than 1,300 yuan to make this dish of crab roe soup dumplings alone.

This incident occurred during the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, when the price of rice was 1,200 wen per stone, and the price of one stone of rice in the Song Dynasty weighed about 60 kilograms, according to which it can be estimated that the purchasing power of the copper coins is equal to more than 300 yuan. Cai Jing consumed more than 1,300 yuan in a meal of soup dumplings, equivalent to more than 400,000 yuan. However, this is a soup dumpling eaten by more than 500 people, that is, more than 800 yuan per person.

Now Lu Xihua sold the animal skins for 860 yuan, which is equivalent to more than 400,000 yuan, that is because, the two sects of Huiqin lost one after another, and sent the country's copper coins to the Jin country as a reparation, and the copper price miraculously became high.

More than 800 yuan per person is very expensive at first glance, Lu Xihua has also eaten crab roe soup dumplings before, there are 50 yuan a cage, there are 80 yuan a cage, the most expensive one is 6 108 yuan, the taste is bland, there is no taste at all.

But now in the Song Dynasty, the materials used by the ancients are much more authentic than those of today, and there is absolutely no suspicion of fraud in famous buildings such as Fan Lou. This soup dumpling will use 2 crabs, and a cage of four is eight crabs, which is a genuine crab roe, not a duck egg yolk. Lu Xihua thought that there were hundreds or even thousands of crabs in the world over there, and he was relieved that this crab roe soup was definitely worth it.

The crab roe soup dumplings ordered by Lu Xihua are the delicacies of crab roe mixed with crystal tart, eat in your mouth, melt in your heart, it is really a good product, Lu Xihua must order every meal, and you can't put it down.

Fan Lou is a famous building, and it does not refuse customers, as long as you abide by the rules of the restaurant and dress cleanly, you can go upstairs to drink. The imperial court forbade private brewing, and the official monopoly was monopolized. The main store has the right to brew wine, but the foot shop does not have this right, so you have to go to the official to buy koji and brew it yourself, which is what the Kyoto Kaifeng official does. Listening to Xiao Er, the best wine is Nekufa wine, the first in the world, and only the palace remains. Fanlou's liquor is not soju, nor is it a distilled spirit, it is similar to the sweet wine of that world, and the alcohol content is very low, about the same as that of beer, so you can drink it in a large bowl.

Therefore, there are a lot of miscellaneous people in Fan Lou, a few days ago, the officers and soldiers won the battle, and many of them bought pigs and sheep to slaughter and reward their subordinates, and the people who killed pigs and sheep made a fortune. At this moment, a few nouveau riche who killed pigs got together to drink, and they drank enthusiastically, and they even wanted to record the scene of this party, so that they could talk about it in the future, so they called the literati who "sold sour literature". Lu Xihua looked at it strangely, the Song Dynasty was prosperous, and even cultural commodities formed an industry in this dynasty.

Sure enough, a literati followed, and several nouveau riche spoke one after another, asking to write the grand occasion of this "group of virtuous people" into a volume, so that future generations can remember and admire it. The literati smiled, offered 200 Wen, and after the nouveau riche agreed, after thinking about it for a while, he borrowed the pen and paper from the store, dashing, splashing ink, and the article was made in one go, and the host and guest were happy at this time. Lu Xihua secretly claimed to be surprised, it was really the prosperous era of the Celestial Empire.

Lu Xihua was about to drink and saw a lot of idlers on the street, in groups of three or five, calling friends and friends, leaving together, and hurriedly called Xiao Er to inquire about the situation. Xiao Er went downstairs in response, and returned without waiting for a while, his face was extremely excited, "Go back to Childe." There are idlers who praise them, and some ministers recommend immortal masters to the official family to retreat from the enemy. That immortal master's surname is Guo Mingjing, and he can break the golden soldiers with the legendary Liujia technique, but he needs 7,777 Liujia people as immortal soldiers. The idlers on the street all went to sign up, hoping to use the power of the immortal family to go into battle to kill the enemy. ”

When Lu Xihua heard this, his eyes opened, and he thought, "I don't know if there are strange people here." ”

Xiao Er said happily, "Before, there was a Yellow Turban Lux City Gate to kill the enemy and save the general, and save Uncle Zhang who came to King Qin, and after the official led the soldiers and horses in the city, he won many battles, and even killed the two generals who were scraped by Ali outside the city. Now there are immortals who know how to do immortals, and they want to save the people of the city with the method of Liujia. The official family is really blessed!"

Lu Xihua gave a reward to Xiao Er and let him leave, and his heart was awe-inspiring, I have never heard of such a person as Guo Jing in history? This time Kaifeng City is bound to be broken, and Huiqin Erzong was captured by the Jin people in the north, and it is known as the shame of Jingkang in history. Fuck, this Qinzong can't have been deceived, right?! Leaving Fan Lou at the moment, he asked the idlers on the street where the Liujia people had gathered, and prepared to find out.
