    "Wanrong, please move." Li Qingquan respected Chen Wanrong more and more, and he actually said it so politely.

    Thinking about the scene when they first met, Li Qingquan didn't take him seriously at all. He looked over his head. Now he was so polite that it was awkward. Chen Wanrong said a little stiffly: "Old man, you said too much."  You're so polite, I'm not used to it, I really can't stand it if you are so polite again."

    Li Qingquan chuckled and said: "It's not that I don't respect people, it's just to see if they deserve my respect! I admire talented people like Wan Rong from the bottom of my heart, and I don't even want to disrespect you. Wan Rong, please!"

    Having said all this, what else can Chen Wanrong say?  I had no choice but to let him go, said my invitation, and walked out the door side by side with Li Qingquan.  Li Qingquan led Chen Wanrong to the right, passed two doors, and came to the third door. He opened the door and stepped aside: "Wanrong, please come in."

    Chen Wanrong confessed his crime and stepped in.  As soon as he entered the room, Chen Wanrong's eyes lit up, and a fresh floral fragrance hit his nostrils.  Looking around, there was an exquisite sandalwood table, several carved chairs, and soft sky blue mattresses placed on the chairs.  The tabletop is covered with a tablecloth embroidered with Tuanhua patterns. You can't see clearly the style of the tabletop, so I guess it's not bad.

    There are some murals painted on the walls, including flowers, birds, insects, fish and figures. The painting skills are not very good. They should be made by ordinary craftsmen. There is nothing special about them.  The murals in the Tang Dynasty were very popular. He was not a wealthy businessman or a high-ranking official. The requirements for murals were not high, just a little decoration, which is similar to the decoration in our modern society. Just paint some paintings so that they are not too monotonous.

    The most attractive thing is a painting hanging on the wall, which shows a scholar facing a waterfall.  This waterfall is wide and high, and the silver-like flying spring pours down from the sky, stirring up endless water vapor. It is so majestic that Chen Wanrong seemed to hear the roaring sound and couldn't help but praise it.

    Chen Wanrong is not an antique collector and has not done much research on calligraphy and painting. However, modern information is developed and he has seen many photos of artworks on the Internet.  The more I read, the better my eyesight was. Although it was not to the level of a collector, I could still tell the difference. The lines of this painting were smooth and delicate, and the colors were moderate. Especially the surging shape of the waterfall was vivid, which made Chen Wan  Rong screamed.

    "Wan Rong praised this painting, right?" Li Qingquan stepped in, closed the door, pointed to the painting on the wall and introduced: "This is Mr. Zheng's handwriting."

    Chen Wanrong heard the name of Mr. Zheng again and again. Seeing how good he was at painting, he thought that this man was a learned man but came to do business. He must be a "Confucian businessman." When he browsed the painting, he saw that the signature was  "Zheng Jianqiu", it turns out that Mr. Zheng in Li Qingquan's mouth is called Zheng Jianqiu.

    Li Qingquan shouted: "Uncle Kong, send it here."

    An old voice came from next door, saying: "Come on!"

    After a while, an old man with white hair on his temples came over carrying a food box. The food box was engraved with a pattern of flying birds. The workmanship was very exquisite and it was particularly beautiful.  The old man was also holding a white porcelain wine flask in his right hand.

    The old man put down the food box and was about to put it on. Li Qingquan waved his hand and said, "Uncle Kong, I won't bother you anymore. I'll do it myself."

    Kong Bo responded, bowed slightly to Li Qingquan and said: "My boss, I'm resigning. Mr. Chen, please use it slowly." The last sentence was directed at Chen Wanrong, and then he left.  .

    This is the first time that Chen Wanrong has called someone son. It sounds quite awkward. I thought to myself that my clothes are full of patches. How does he look like a son?  He politely replied: "Thank you, Uncle Kong."

    Kong Bo left and closed the door.  Li Qingquan opened the lid, took out the food from the food box and placed it on the table.  This food box is quite large, with no fewer than ten plates, dishes, cups and cups placed at once.

    Li Qingquan lifted a food box from the wall, put it on the table, patted the food box, and said with some pride: "Wanrong, guess what kind of delicious food is in it."  ?¡±

    Chen Wanrong saw that the food box was made of bamboo strips, but the bamboo strips were made by skilled craftsmen and were about the same width and thickness, making them extremely delicate.  Smooth and graceful lines merge into a painting of a delicious meal. The characters in the painting are dining around the table, drinking and drinking, feeling very comfortable, with different expressions, and lifelike.

    Just by looking at this food box, you can tell that the food inside must be delicacies, but Chen Wanrong doesn't know much about the details of life in the Tang Dynasty, let alone what kind of delicacies are in it, which really stumps Li Qingquan.

    Seeing that Chen Wanrong had been stumped, Li Qingquan was somewhat proud. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Wanrong, look carefully." He opened the lid of the food box, reached into the food box with both hands and took out a cup from the inside.  Pack your things and put them carefully on the table.

    This thing is very beautifully packaged and is a piece of fresh foodIt turns out that there are three ways to look at it.  Knowing that he would continue to ask, Chen Wanrong did not allow him to ask, and explained: "Looking from above, if the wine is clear, it means it is good wine. If it is turbid, it means the wine is impure."  The second method is to look at the speed at which the wine slurry flows down the wall of the cup. If the speed is too fast, it means the wine is not good. If it flows down slowly, it means the wine is good.  The third method is to tilt the wine glass and see if there is a water-like substance at the junction between the wine pulp and the wall of the glass. If it is blue, it is only three to five years old. If it is red, it is only five or six years old. If it is amber, it is a good wine that is more than ten years old.  "

    Wine was introduced to the Tang Dynasty from Gaochang State during the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. It is said that Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty personally supervised the brewing of wine and distributed it to the officials for drinking.  Wine was widely loved by the people of the Tang Dynasty because of its delicious taste. However, it had only been introduced for a few decades, and the people of the Tang Dynasty did not study wine in depth enough. Famous sentences such as "Luminous Cup of Grape Wine" could not be written until later.

    Furthermore, how could a rich man like Li Qingquan know these ways of looking at wine? He was surprised when he heard these words. He turned the wine glass over and took a look. As Chen Wanrong said, there was an amber color between the wine pulp and the wall of the cup.  The water-like body admired Chen Wanrong so much that he shouted in a loud voice: "Wanrong, Wanrong, you taught me another skill! Mr. Zheng likes this old wine, but he doesn't care about wine like Wanrong."  Ability, high, really high!"

    In the world where Chen Wanrong came from, there were a dazzling variety of wines, but Chen Wanrong was not a wine drinker. He liked to drink a few drinks, and when he had nothing to do, he would find some information and learn some wine tasting skills to relax.  Thinking that he was admired like this, he smiled and said: "Old man, a little skill is not worth mentioning."

    Li Qingquan tapped his right hand on the table and said: "Small skills are also knowledge, they are knowledge!" He picked up the wine glass, said hello, and took a nice sip. The taste of the wine itself was very beautiful, and Chen Wan  When Rong's brilliant words are paired with wine, the taste becomes even longer, so beautiful that you can't help but smack your tongue.

    Picking up the chopsticks, I gently pushed aside the flowers on the perilla leaves, revealing the seabass meat underneath. I saw that it was arranged neatly and evenly in thickness. It had not changed color due to being slaughtered for a period of time and was still as fresh as life.  hour.  In the Tang Dynasty, there were no auxiliary means such as refrigerators, freezers, and preservatives. It is really remarkable that it can be kept in such good condition. Chen Wanrong admires the wisdom of our ancestors from the bottom of his heart.

    "This sea bass dumpling is made with green onions in winter and mustard in summer, so it tastes best." Li Qingquan picked up a piece of sea bass dumpling, looked at it briefly, and praised: "This knife skill is really amazing. It is as thin as a piece of paper, but there is no  A little damage and a slight movement are like pieces of paper in the wind, and beautiful waves will appear.¡±

    As he spoke, he shook it gently, and the meat slices immediately appeared wavy, which looked good.  Li Qingquan continued: "If you can play beatbox, you can use it as a musical instrument. The music produced is fresh and sweet, just like the music produced by the instrument. Mr. Zheng knows this skill, but I have not learned it."

    The popular food of the Tang Dynasty is the sliced ??meat we have now. Bass fish is also sashimi. It was very popular in the Tang Dynasty. Its production technology is amazing, especially its knife skills.  The cut sashimi can be used as a musical instrument. This is not bragging. It is recorded in history that "it can be blown lightly, and it can be played with sound and speed if it is in accordance with the rules."

    Although this meal has only been carried out until now, Chen Wanrong has experienced the great wisdom of our ancestors again and again. The food requires both fineness and skill, and extraordinary wisdom is everywhere.

    Chen Wanrong was very excited, picked up the wine glass and said: "Old man, do it! I won't stop getting drunk today!" After seeing the supreme wisdom of our ancestors, Chen Wanrong was very excited, and used the supreme wisdom of our ancestors to accompany the wine.  , what could be better than this?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
