Chapter 670: The Manchu and Han Banquets
When Lin Yicheng said the first two sentences, I thought he was going to invite me to dinner and watch a play. But when I said the third sentence, I felt confused, eating and watching a play and opening the sluice gate and releasing water seem to be incompatible.
"Mr. Lin, Mei Zhu, what the hell are you doing?" I asked suspiciously.
"Section Chief Yu, what do you guess is in this house?" Mei Zhu stretched out her hand and pointed to a spacious wooden house directly north of the backyard, the wooden house is two feet high, covering an area of about two hundred square meters, according to the degree of new and old wood, this room was built in the later period.
"Don't sell it, let's talk about it. I shook my head and laughed. The immortals don't have the ability to see through yet, and I can only observe that there is nothing abnormal in the breath in the room.
"You open the door. Lin Yicheng reached out to the door of the room and opened the copper lock.
I reached out and pushed the door open, and I was stunned at first glance, I had guessed the possible utensils and objects before, but I didn't expect that Lin Yicheng and Mei Zhu would build a modern room for me.
The room is built according to the five-star hotel room, the ground is covered with carpets, the pattern and material of the carpet are no different from the Hong Kong pink beauty carpet, the left side of the door is the bathroom, the outer wall of the bathroom is all made of translucent glass butt paste, although the glass has appeared in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, at this time has not been used by the public in large quantities, these three glass walls alone will cost Lin a lot of energy and financial resources. In high-end hotels, translucent bathroom glass walls are a must, because this kind of room is usually occupied by a pair of men and women, and the hazy scene of beautiful women bathing can add to the atmosphere of Langman. The layout in the bathroom is exactly the same as the layout of the modern society, even the material is the same, the basin and sanitary ware are all porcelain, and even the toothbrush and toothpaste are available, but the toothbrush is not plastic, but made of white marble.
Opposite the bathroom is a spacious hall, five-star hotels are private rooms, there is no partition in the room, the northeast side of the hall is a one-piece sofa against the wall, the coffee table in front of the sofa is placed with flowers and fruit plates, and the south side is a huge wine rack, on which many porcelain bottles containing wine are displayed. There are four modern paintings hanging on the walls on all four sides, and the most surprising thing is that there are eight strange ball chandeliers on the top of the room.
"Section Chief Yu, you watch. Lin Yicheng reached out and pressed the light switch from the right hand side of the door, and two chandeliers on the top were immediately lit up, and the room was suddenly bright.
"Electricity?" I turned my head to look at Lin Yicheng suspiciously.
"Yes, the principle of power generation is very simple, not only electricity, I also invented the battery. Lin Yicheng could not hide his pride.
"Do you use hydroelectric power?" I asked casually, and it was likely that Lin Yicheng had used hydroelectric power to open the sluice gate in the back mountain to release water.
"The principle of the light and the battery is very simple, but unfortunately I can't build a circuit board, otherwise I would use solar energy. Lin Yicheng nodded and smiled.
"Section Chief Yu, do you like it?" asked Mei Zhu cautiously.
"I shouldn't have slapped you when I was at the Lama Temple in Beijing, and I apologize to you. I turned my head to look at Meizhu. The two of them really surprised me, and it made me feel like home.
"Section Chief Yu, I can't blame you for that incident, you are the great benefactor of me and Yicheng, and we can have today thanks to you. Mei Zhu shook her head repeatedly.
"Section Chief Yu, I have something good for you. Lin Yicheng turned on another switch from the wall, and the electric light on the top turned on two more times. After these two lights were lit, Lin Yicheng extinguished the previous two lights, the reason why he did this was because there was no nitrogen in the earthen lamp he built to stabilize the pressure and cool down, so it could not be lit continuously for a long time, and the eight had to take turns to cool down.
"What?" I turned to look at Lin Yicheng.
"Cigarettes, authentic flue-cured tobacco. Lin Yicheng walked quickly to the wine rack and took out two boxes of cigarette rolls in modern packaging from the lattice on the left side of the wine rack, the outer packaging of the cigarette rolls completely imitated Chinese cigarettes, which shows how fine Lin Yicheng's heart is.
"Where did it come from?" I reached for one and found it to have a filter.
"I got it from a Persian merchant, we don't have tobacco here yet, and after I got it, I roasted and rolled it with copper plates, and there were only two packets in total. Lin Yicheng explained.
"Section Chief Yu, you smoke one. Mei Zhu motioned to Lin Yicheng to light a fire for me, and Lin Yicheng immediately took out the fire twist from his arms when he heard this.
"Can't you make a battery to make a match?" I waved my hand to signal that I didn't need to light a fire, and my mind made the cigarette spontaneously combust.
"I've studied those things before, but I've ignored matches, and I don't know how to break down yellow phosphorus. Lin Yicheng said with a smile. He knew that he was going back to ancient times before entering the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, so it was logical that he had studied it in advance.
"It took a lot of money to build this room, where did you get so much money?" I sat down on the couch with a cigarette in my mouth, and it turned out to be a bouncy couch.
"Section Chief Yu, you are a master of cultivating and becoming an immortal, and you can't make money. Lin Yicheng sat next to me and stretched out his finger to his head. He is a shopping mall elite in modern times, and what he has in mind is a way to make money.
"Section Chief Yu, is it easy to smoke?" Mei Zhu stared at the cigarette in my hand.
"Very well, you bothered. I nodded and smiled. In fact, smoking is only a habit that I have developed for many years, and for the immortals, cigarettes are a turbid breath, which does not do me any good, and I mean that this familiar feeling is good, not that cigarettes bring me any comfortable feeling.
"You are an immortal now, you don't lack anything, and we have nothing to thank you, so Yicheng and I thought of this way to let you find out how you felt back then. Mei Zhu said.
"Section Chief Yu, can you eat mortal food now?" Lin Yicheng eagerly took over.
"If there's anything delicious, go for it. "I'm in a good mood, sitting in a modern room makes me feel like home, and even though I know it's fake, I'm still happy.
"Great, Xiaomei, let's inform the food. Lin Yicheng turned his head and commanded at Meizhu.
When Mei Zhu heard this, she immediately turned around and walked out, and after a while, the servants at home brought a huge square table and three wooden chairs, followed by tea and hand saucers, and then four dried fruits, four fresh fruits, four candied fruits and four candied fruits.
"Mr. Lin, how long have you been preparing?" I gargled with tea. There are one hundred and eight dishes in the Manchu and Han Dynasty, 41 vegetarian dishes, 67 meat, and the ingredients are not easy to come by, and the most important thing is that the chefs of this era do not know how to make these complex dishes.
"Leave it alone, the material is absolutely fresh. Lin Yicheng began to pour wine.
Mei Zhu came over to accompany the child after feeding, I didn't eat all the whole banquet before, this time I have seen it, but I didn't move the meat dishes, forty-one vegetarian dishes are quite to my taste, Lin Yicheng invited me to the banquet in late autumn and early winter to ensure the freshness of the materials.
After the meal, Lin Yicheng gave me a surprise again, nine maidservants praised me for modern singing and dancing, a song of Northern Spring almost didn't make me cry, Northern Spring was originally a homesick tune, and singing it at this time made me doubly sad.
"Section Chief Yu, give your niece a name. "Lin Yicheng drank a little too much.
"How about Lin Xinmei, the Xin of both virtue and art. I leaned back on the couch and spoke with my glass in my hand.
"Section Chief Yu is highly talented, one word and three passes. "Lin Yicheng is a Confucian businessman, and his literary talent is not bad.
"Stop being a sycophant. I smiled and took out a round fruit from my arms and handed it to Mei Zhu, "Don't smoke your cigarette for nothing, this one will be given to you." ”
"Thank you, Section Chief Yu. Mei Zhu happily took it, she naturally knew that I would not send garbage to her.
"This is a clotted fruit, it's not very useful, but it's okay to stay forever in your lifetime, just swallow it. I nodded and smiled.
"Ah?!" Mei Zhu was immediately surprised when she heard this, the most important thing for a woman is a face, and being able to stay young forever is a woman's greatest happiness.
"Section Chief Yu, what can the Manchu Han Quan Xi change?" Lin Yicheng joked.
"A hundred years of life, the end of life. I laughed. Lin Yicheng did all this for me today to relieve my homesickness, although it seems simple, in fact, Lang spent a lot of his energy, the most important thing is that he has this heart, this heart makes me very moved.
"Section Chief Yu, you are a good person to the end, why don't you tell us how many sons and daughters you have?" Lin Yicheng asked with a smile.
"Why didn't I notice you were so thick-skinned before?" I swallowed from my glass.
"It's not too late to find out. Lin Yicheng could tell I was joking.
"If you can afford it, you can live hard. I said casually. In fact, Lin Yicheng and Meizhu have many children, but I don't bother to answer them one by one.
"It's not too early, Xiaomei, you should rest early. Lin Yicheng said.
Mei Zhu has been with Lin Yicheng for many years, so she naturally knows Lin Yicheng's temperament well, and knows that he has something to say to me alone, so she retired with interest.
"Section Chief Yu, how have you been doing in the past few years?" Lin Yicheng picked up his wine glass and sat next to me.
"Not very good. I shook my head and said, in the eyes of mortals, immortals are very happy, but they don't know that immortals also have their own troubles.
"If you get tired of living in heaven, come down and live with me for a while. "Lin Yicheng sincerely invited, he always thought that I lived in the sky, he didn't know that I, an immortal, had not been given the throne, and I could go to heaven but not for a long time.
"I'll leave in a while, and you will burn the things here directly after I leave, and don't leave anything behind. "I said that the things in this room are ahead of their time, and these things must not be left behind.
"I know, I'll take care of it. Lin Yicheng nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I'll stay soon, if you have something, you can burn incense and inform me. I put down my glass and stood up.
"Section Chief Yu, I have written some guidelines for governing the country in my spare time, you can take a look. Lin Yicheng took out a stack of rice paper from the dark grid.
"I'm not good at these things, my task is to ensure that the Yang family Jinlong ascends the throne smoothly, and how to assist you in the future will be handed over to you, I am responsible for clearing the obstacles, and you are responsible for assisting in governing the country. I shook my head and didn't take the stack of rice paper.
"One more thing I want to tell you, according to historical records, Yang Jian's mother is the Lu family, but the Lu family is currently only the maid of the Yang Mansion, and her status is very humble, do you think we should do something?" Lin Yicheng asked.
"Let it be, we'd better not intervene unless we have to. I shook my head.
"The State of Liang is currently at war with the Eastern Wei Dynasty, the national teacher of the State of Liang seems to be the person of your Ziyang Temple, and the Eastern Wei Dynasty is looking for people who are masters of the Tao to face the enemy, I am worried that there will be a fairy war like the Fengshen List in the later stage. Lin Yicheng also thinks long-term.
"It's hard to say, regular immortals can't go down to earth at will, but there are a lot of scattered immortals who are not under the jurisdiction of Heavenly Court, and what I'm afraid of is that this group of immortals will participate. "I naturally won't hide anything from Lin Yicheng, the relationship between the two is no longer comparable to what it used to be.
"I don't understand the affairs of your immortal realm, are you sure to deal with emergencies?" Lin Yicheng asked.
"I preliminarily estimate that the number of Earth Immortals stranded in the mortal world will not exceed 100, and the number of Heavenly Immortals will not exceed 20, and there may be Golden Immortals, but the number is extremely small. If something does go wrong, I can only say I'm half sure. I said truthfully.
"Recently, the Western Wei Dynasty wants to take advantage of the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the Liang State Sandpiper to fight each other and wave his troops south to take advantage of the fisherman's profits, you feel that it is feasible or not, although I am soft-spoken, but Yang Zhong obeys my words, I can influence his thoughts, he is a general. Lin Yicheng asked again.
"I'm not involved in these things, you guys watch and deal with them. I shook my head.
Since I had already stood up, Lin Yicheng didn't pester me again to ask anything, I took out several spiritual objects in my arms and handed them to him and told him how to use them, and then said goodbye and left.
When I left from the cave, I brought seven kinds of spiritual objects, left six kinds, and the rest of them were also a clotted fruit, which is a holy product that can make a woman maintain her face, I left it for Xu Shuangyi, a farewell for five years, I also want to go to see her, if she marries, I don't blame her, if she is still alone, then I will stay there for a few days, this is not a continuous break, this is comfort and relief.
Vacate and rush to the southwest border, I don't plan to meet Yang Zhong, Ma Lingfeng, Wen Xiaofeng and them this time, as an immortal, I can't show up at will, and they don't have anything to do, I don't need to meet them.
The town on the southwestern border has been repopulated, although there have been dead people here, but from here you can get a huge profit, a tiger skin can only be exchanged for a hundred taels of salt from here, but once it is turned into a hundred taels of silver, the drive of huge profits is fearless.
I didn't stop here, but went straight west into the wilderness, when I came here with the King Kong Cannon, and now I am the only one who has returned, and the familiar scenery makes me see things and think about people, and I don't know how the dead fat man has been doing in the past few years.
Xu Shuangyi's tribe is located in the northeast of the wilderness, I quickly found their gathering place according to memory, Yin Shi got to the sky to look down, and found that the people of the Huang tribe did not rest, but lit a bonfire to hold a meeting within the clan, everyone was divided into two factions, and they were arguing fiercely about something, and the dispute between the two sides was extremely violent, and there was a faint tendency to start infighting......
