Chapter 208 Ancient Stones and Writings
Such fresh grapefruits used to be a reward only for high-ranking officials.
They are not even qualified to smell it.
There are so many in the snowy and icy Northland? And each one looks like it was just picked from the tree.
But where do the trees come from in a place like this?
"Where did this come from?" Uncle Zhou asked habitually.
Is it a tribute they can eat? !
"It doesn't matter where it comes from, do you want it?" Shen You looked at Liu Yunyan.
Liu Yunyan nodded quickly and repeated three times, "I want it, I want it!"
Seeing that Shen You took out two fruits and wanted to give them a taste first, Liu Yunyan took over the task of peeling the fruits and peeled them off in a few times and put them on the table.
I divided two pieces for everyone. Not only did this grapefruit look fresh, it also tasted juicy and full of fruity aroma.
"I didn't expect that we would be able to eat tribute one day!"
Several veterans ate it happily and praised that it was worthy of being a tribute and that it was delicious.
"God, this one is red, so sweet!"
The few soldiers guarding the door were also assigned, and they looked at each other with joy. They had to follow the general to see the master and have something to eat!
I'm afraid even the emperor has never eaten red grapefruit.
This is what everyone is thinking but dare not say out loud.
"How much do these cost?" Liu Yunyan was also stunned, "Did you really give it to us?"
This is good stuff, the peel can be used as medicine.
"Just keep the bag next to me, and you can take the remaining bags. It's not expensive. If you want to use the peels as medicine to boil water, remember to soak them in salt and scrub them first. There is enough salt in the supplies given to you in the morning. Shen You said with a smile.
If there is anything to dig out later, she will have to do it alone until the end of the year.
"Remember you like fried chicken, wait a moment, I will serve it to you soon, there are also some dishes, just consider it as a thank you gift for everyone's help just now."
Shen You held her phone and ordered takeout while talking.
"No way. Shopkeeper Shen, you transported so much supplies to us and helped us fight off the foreigners. This small favor is really not worth mentioning. How can I ask for a thank you gift from you."
Uncle Zhou said embarrassedly.
The other two veterans also responded.
"It's okay. Maybe I will need your help in the future." Shen You clicked to confirm and pay.
Not long after, the things were delivered, and Shen You went out from the garage to get them.
Only then did everyone see that the two doors of the side room in her yard were connected.
Ordinary people pay attention to gathering Qi. If the two sides of this room are connected, what kind of Qi can be gathered?
It is concluded that experts have no taboos in Feng Shui and have unique insights.
Shen You herself didn't even know that her image had been beautified to such an extent. She knew nothing about Feng Shui, and she just did it as conveniently as possible.
The pottery jar with koi fish in front of the next door was put there by someone who knew Feng Shui in the antique street.
Shen You brought back several large bags of food and came in. Liu Yunyan hurried up to help her carry them to the pavilion in the courtyard.
There are fried chicken set meals and mutton kebabs here. In addition, I ordered several large bowls of fried rice and lamb bone soup at the kebab shop.
The best food in Northland is fresh barbecue.
Since the food shortage, the generals who used to be able to eat once a month can no longer do so.
There was no chili pepper in what they ordered. The kebabs and stir-fried noodles she ordered were all medium spicy.
After opening the bag and seeing the fragrant mutton skewers, Uncle Zhou and the others could no longer politely refuse.
I don’t know what seasonings are added to these barbecued meats, but they are so fragrant. The soup is milky white, and there is fried rice.
Oil is a precious thing for ordinary people and the harsh northern land, and they are reluctant to use it.
Looking at the fried rice in the box, every grain of rice is shiny and full of oil, with eggs and chopped green onions. How dare you eat like this in Northland? It's too luxurious.
They only ate a bunch of mutton skewers and were reluctant to eat them. They wanted to take them back and let several colleagues have a taste.
"This bottle contains ale from the Western Regions. It is not intoxicating, but it is best not to drink it if you are injured. Drinking too much is not good for the stomach and intestines. It cannot be used to wash wounds."
Washing wounds with low-alcohol alcohol can easily cause infection.
Medicine to treat the gastrointestinal tract was given to them in the morning. Before Shen You arrived, many soldiers had gastrointestinal problems due to cold.
I agreed to take the medicine she gave me.
Shen You gave them a bottle opener. In ancient times, after winning a battle, soldiers would be rewarded with wine.
The alcohol content in ancient times was not high, just a few degrees.
The wine brewed by Daqi has the same content as beer. It is mostly fermented and has a turbid color, so it is called turbid wine.
There are also distilled spirits that are relatively expensive and are out of the reach of ordinary people.
"Is the Molotov cocktail made of wine?" Liu Yunyan suddenly realized when he heard that the glass bottle was a wine vessel.
Shen You shook his head, "No, the wine in the bottle is not flammable."
Only alcohol or oil is enough, and other things need to be added. The proportions and specific processes are all particular.
Liu Yunyan: "Then we can rest assured."
They did not dare to drink the supplies used to defend themselves against the enemy.
"Don't put this wine in a place that's too cold, or the bottle will explode." Shen You reminded again.
None of them had ever drunk malt wine. Shen You brought them disposable paper cups and showed them how to open the bottle. Liu Yunyan tasted half of the cup first.
Comments: "The wine is clear and the taste is a bit strange, but not bad."
Uncle Zhou also wanted to drink, but Liu Yunyan stopped him, "You're still injured and didn't hear Shopkeeper Shen say you can't drink!"
"I'll just take a sip and taste it." Uncle Zhou tried to negotiate, his eyes drifting into the cup.
"No! Wait until you are better. This is a military order!"
Liu Yunyan turned to Shen You again,
"It's going to be windy and snowy soon. Let's go back first. I won't disturb your rest. If something happens, you can send a signal. The person on duty at night will notify me immediately if he sees it."
Liu Yunyan originally wanted to leave a fireworks signal, but Shen You said no, since Daqi's fireworks signals are also recognized by foreigners.
There are big fireworks here, which are sure to shock the foreigners.
Hearing what Shen You said, Liu Yunyan was a little curious about what kind of fireworks could shock people.
After they left with their things, Shen You sat in the shop, watching the snowflakes gradually falling outside, ate two skewers, and picked up a flashlight to look at the two gravel slabs on the wall.
The patterns are incoherent, the same kind of stone, they should be in the same building.
Looks so old.
She is not in a position to do carbon 14 testing here.
Shen You recalled the history books of Da Qi he had read. The period inscribed in bronze was at least a thousand years away from the current Da Qi, and more than three thousand years ago.
There are no written records from more than 3,000 years ago, only some stories circulated among the people.
Modern bronze inscriptions and oracle bone inscriptions appeared at the same time, but there is no accurate evidence as to which one is older.
I only recognize a few characters on this stone. The one walking on an arc is Wang.
This is a relatively easy-to-recognize word, and the rest are traces of time and cracks.
Be as abstract as you want.
I looked at the water stains left by washing the soil for a long time, and my eyes hurt. I just barely recognized the word "yue", which also refers to the mountain god.
It looks more like what is left behind in the ruins, an ancient city, a small ancient country
