Chapter 232 The weather is just right
Before the milk tea shop got off work, Shen You went to buy a few cups of milk tea before going home.
I also brought a few drinks to Liu Yunyan and the others.
It has been raining for a month in Jiangcheng, and it finally cleared up today. When I returned to the shop, the sun was shining warmly on the ground. The plants in the yard had lost their leaves, and their staggered branches were reflected on the mottled walls.
Seeing this made people feel a little brighter. They moved the rocking chair to the door, made a pot of tea and sat down with skewers in their hands. The cool plum fragrance diffused in the air, and there was no need to light any more incense.
Very comfortable!
New Year’s Eve dinner is the key point, and the ingredients must be prepared in advance at three or four o’clock in the afternoon.
In the evening, Wen Zhi wanted to go to the barracks in Shuozhou City first. The Daqi New Year was also celebrated, and the soldiers at the border could not return home. They fought two more victorious battles. There must be a celebration banquet to cheer up. morale.
It doesn’t make sense for him not to show up.
Shuozhou City gets dark quickly, and dinner is eaten early, so the time can be staggered just right.
Shen You finished the tea in the cup and took out the jade he had just cleaned up yesterday to show Wen Zhi.
“Do you recognize this?” The most important thing when digging up an ancient relic is its origin and the meaning behind it.
“Isn’t this just jade.” Wen Zhi said matter-of-factly, “There are many of them in the palace, and they all look the same.”
“No. I mean, have you seen them before? This piece?" Shen You asked expectantly.
Wen Zhi shook his head, "I've seen something similar before, but I don't know if I've seen anything like this before."
Too. Shen You thought.
There are no engravings or patterns. Unless you have personally handled it, how can you recognize its origin?
It's a pity that the bronze tripod should not be found at the altar. It was destroyed once by desperate and angry people thousands of years ago.
Even if it is found, it is probably an incomplete fragment.
We still have to continue digging. We all know that there are likely to be residual slips and inscriptions here.
Shen You turned sideways and suddenly asked curiously, "Who do you think is better at Feng Shui, the former Jian Zheng or the priest of Yu State?"
Wen Zhi lazily took advantage of his chin to shine in the golden warmth of the sun. Falling on his eyelashes, he looked at Shen You and said,
"The former prisoner in Daqi is a capable person who can be recorded in history. People, but he can't compare. He can't calculate fate so accurately. He needs tools to look at the mountains and terrain.
The priest doesn't need it, she is born with the ability to sense the secrets of heaven."
Shen. You nodded, that means that if you can find the slips, you can probably find the knowledge about the mountains and rivers that is no worse than the former supervisor's manuscript.
Maybe Academician Hu can use it!
Submit this, and the county annals may leave a note for her in the future.
Thinking of this, Shen You is bold and energetic, dig in! Go dig now while the weather is nice and it’s still early!
Shen You took off her expensive Song brocade coat, picked up an outdoor stain-resistant down jacket, put on a set, took her tools and Wen Zhi and went out.
The most difficult place to dig has been dug out, and the rest is mainly about cleaning and searching.
Shen You didn't know why, but she seemed to be able to dig things out suddenly.
When Liu Yunyan and Uncle Zhou came over, they were very eager to help and asked if they needed more people.
"No, it's almost time. We'll go back in a moment." Shen You was carrying a bamboo basket, and Wen Zhi was carrying two.
There are animal bones, ancient jade, and even several bronze fragments inside.
“Let’s go.” Shen You motioned Liu Yunyan to follow.
Liu Yunyan came here to pick up some supplies for tonight. The quantity of good things was limited and they didn't dare to put them in their warehouse.
Afraid of causing dissatisfaction with the generals of other factions, and using the excuse to say that they are hiding their own secrets, it is better to avoid the trouble that can be avoided.
The delicacies of the celebration banquet are distributed to ordinary soldiers according to their merits. What each soldier can receive depends on the strength of the general. Daqi's military management was not perfect, which resulted in some people who charged into battle being unable to get credit.
Liu Yunyan wants to give more rewards to the defenders of Shuozhou City.
They were really suffering a few days ago.
After returning to Beijing, she will reward them based on their merits, and she will fight for them!
When they arrived in front of the shop, they didn't notice it before. The light was bright today. Liu Yunyan and Uncle Zhou saw the couplets on the door at a glance.
"What is written here? Is it a charm drawn by shopkeeper Shen?" Uncle Zhou asked Liu Yunyan in a low voice.
A master is a master. While others posted couplets, she posted spells.
No wonder the door doesn't look tight. They couldn't push it open just now. Is it because of this charm?
Uncle Zhou knows Chinese characters, but he only knows the official Daqi characters. He has never seen this thing before.
He thought that the spell drawn by the master must be very effective, and no ghosts or monsters would dare to come in. Can he ask shopkeeper Shen for a pair, so that when he returns home, he can stick it at home to bless his family?
Liu Yunyan didn’t recognize it either, but she felt that she had seen it somewhere, as if it was the writing on an antique in the warehouse at home.
She doesn’t like reading. She only likes to read military books and practice martial arts. How can she remember this?
"It should be ancient characters, not talismans. I didn't understand what was written, so I guessed that it means to be successful and rich. It may mean to study more and be ambitious."
Liu Yunyan analyzed it seriously.
After hearing this, Uncle Zhou felt that it made sense and nodded solemnly.
Wen Zhi, who has better senses, looked at the two of them:
The milk tea Shen You bought before was put in hot water to keep it warm before going out, so it is still hot now.
"This, this is the legendary milk tea!" Liu Yunyan was overjoyed.
“There are three different flavors, you can try them.”
There were too many people outside today and the milk tea shop was full. It was hard to order too many, so I only bought these.
"Thank you, shopkeeper Shen. Please let us do the digging next time!" Liu Yunyan took a sip of the milk tea with taro paste and matcha, "It tastes great! I have never had such a delicious drink. . ”
That weird brother is obsessed with milk tea!
"Uncle Zhou, does this taste good to you?" Liu Yunyan looked at Uncle Zhou again.
Uncle Zhou drank and nodded repeatedly, this is not the Western Region, it is where the gods live! I can't imagine that there is such a delicious thing in the world.
In comparison, all the wine I drank before turned into horse urine!
The cup he drank was osmanthus fermented rice, with a faint scent of osmanthus and the sweetness of the fermented rice. He had never thought that the wine could be mixed with other drinks.
“Sweet with a hint of wine! How is this kind of wine brewed?”
Shen Youhui asked this question. Her mother used to make it at home.
“Use glutinous rice, add sugar, distiller’s yeast, and sprinkle with dried osmanthus. The rice wine you make can also be used to cook chicken soup and glutinous rice balls! In winter, the temperature is not enough and you have to put it on the kang. Go up."
Uncle Zhou and Liu Yunyan looked at each other and reached a consensus to find a chance to try it!
"But the koji may be different from what you use, and there are also varieties of glutinous rice. If you are interested, I can find koji and good glutinous rice after the new year and give you some." Shen You added explain.
Liu Yunyan: "That's great! The wife in Uncle Zhou's family knows how to make wine."
Shen You brought them two large hams, several large boxes of instant noodle cakes that Liu Yunyan said everyone loved, barrels of light soy sauce, a box of salt, and some condiments.
The large buckets of seasonings were originally needed by Lancheng Shelter, so she bought some supplies.
The moment he saw the salt, Liu Yunyan was stunned. It was actually thinner than the official salt of Da Qi.
Shen You said: "This is the official salt produced in the Western Regions, coming from the sea."
