shock!She can travel through time

After waiting for everyone, the two young men who entered the door carried a windmill with a strange shape into the house.

In fact, according to archaeological discoveries of later generations, pottery windmills already existed in the Western Han Dynasty, which were machines used by farmers to clean grain.

In other words, the time when China invented the windmill was the Western Han Dynasty at the latest.And this time is more than 400 years earlier than the appearance of European windmills.

It's just that the noble ladies of the Tang Dynasty in this room today are all people who don't do production, don't work hard and don't distinguish between grain and grain, and have never seen a windmill before, so they all showed curious eyes that have never seen the market .

"Xiangjun, what is this?"

"Wan Niang, what good thing is this?"

"It looks weird."

The noble ladies asked loudly one after another, Lin Wanwan just smiled and said nothing.

Lin Wanwan's windmill is of course not a ceramic windmill for agricultural use in the Western Han Dynasty, but the prototype of a modern fan - a hand-operated fan.

Its overall structure is made of wood, and the fan blades are rotated by hand to supply air. The principle is similar to that of the pottery windmills in the Han Dynasty, except that one is used to blow grain and sundries, and the other is used to enjoy the cool air.

After the two servants set up the big fan, they brought over an ice sculpture of the Nine Heavens Xuannv, half a person's height, placed it in front of the windmill, and then retreated silently.

Hongyan had been waiting for this moment for a long time. Seeing that the things were on display, she saluted, raised her head slightly, walked to the windmill, and slowly shook the handle.

With the rotation of the fan blades, a burst of cool wind blows to the people in the house through the fragrant ice sculptures, bringing a cool breeze to this hot summer day.

"Wow, it's amazing, what is this?"

"Hoo, it smells so good, what kind of fragrance is this...ah, it's the fragrance of wood peony flowers!" The second wife of the Zhang family moved her nose slightly, and after sniffing for a long time, she suddenly called out.

After being reminded by her voice, everyone sniffed intoxicatedly for a while, and said one after another: "It is indeed the scent of peony."

"Wanwan, how can there be such a fragrance in this ice sculpture?"

Lin Wanwan said calmly: "Oh, my senior brother got this ice from the extremely cold place in the extreme north. It is said that there is also perfume extracted from hundreds of peonies in it, which is why it has this elegant fragrance."

Mushaoyao, also known as peony, rose in the Sui Dynasty and flourished in the Tang and Song Dynasties. One of the elegant things for nobles to communicate with is to appreciate, fight and taste flowers.

There are many famous sentences about peonies through the ages, such as "clouds think about clothes and flowers think about appearance", "famous flowers are all over the country, two love each other", "the first fragrance in the independent world", etc. Wang Juyi, the history of poetry, once lamented that "a cluster of dark flowers , Fu from ten households", in order to describe the precious and rare peony.

Lin Wanwan has put in a lot of effort for today's banquet, and specially bought ice sculpture molds and peony-scented perfume online, just waiting for today's blockbuster.

Before the banquet started, the crowd had already been seduced by Lin Wanwan's opening ceremony which completely broke the daily banquet specifications of the high society in Shan County.

Slices of red cold melons, beautiful three-tiered cakes, ice sculptures exuding the fragrance of peonies, and this strangely shaped windmill were all displayed in front of the guests.

These upper-class noble ladies in Hu County knew that they would have to spend at least a hundred gold to afford this banquet, which was even more extravagant than the nobles in the palace!
Before, because of the sparse number of maids and servants in the Lin Mansion's courtyard, some people who underestimated Lin Wanwan's ostentation had expressions of astonishment on their faces.

This country gentleman is simply a walking golden doll!
Seeing everyone's expressions, Lin Wanwan teased with a smile: "I think you all agree that when there are too many things at your fingertips, novelty is what we pursue. The cold ice in the extremely cold place in the extreme north and the flowers that bloom in April and May It's also very interesting to put wood peony, cold melon from the western regions, butter from the north, and tuna slices from the deep sea together!"

Zhang Erniang yelled again: "This kind of novelty depends on piles of gold and silver treasures! What blows today is not wind, but money and silk, and what you eat is not fish sticks, but money! Don't worry about other reasons, only if you have money It's the funniest!"

Lin Wanwan smiled and raised her glass to Zhang Erniang: "Then Erniang tastes this hundred flower brew, does it taste like money?"

Everyone in the room laughed when they heard the words, and raised their glasses together to take a sip.

What this group of people said behind their backs about Lin Wanwan being a country bumpkin had already reached Lin Wanwan's ears.Today is to let the aborigines of Datang gain some insight into what is the real happiness of rich people.

Not only does she want to make money from the beauty salon in Quanzhou County and even the entire Jiangnan noble family, she also wants to make herself a popular weathervane and have the right to speak in Tang Dynasty fashion.

Therefore, she must not be contaminated with "township" and "soil", because once these two words are contaminated, it will be difficult for her to grab the wool of noble women.

After drinking Baihua Niang and eating tuna croissants, Lin Wanwan led everyone to the cream cake, cut the cake, divided the cake, and ate the cake.

It was the first time for everyone to eat this novel cream cake, and they were all conquered by its dense and sweet taste.

Sugar itself is a luxury in Datang, and the sugar in the cream cake is just right and sweet. Few women can refuse it—except for those who want to lose weight.

"Wanwan, what kind of cream cake is this called? Which pastry shop did you order it from? My family wants to have one for the old lady's birthday party next month."

"You said this cream cake, I didn't buy it, it was made by my family. In the future, Hongyanxiao's shop will also provide this additional customized service for senior members. If you need it, just order it."

Lin Wanwan took the opportunity to emphasize once again the privileges of senior members in her Red Face Shop. Not all of the delicate customers who came today were senior members. There were quite a few ladies who were not willing to pay the money.

Lin Wanwan must win them all over. It doesn't matter if you have no cash, just use the treasure as collateral!Any boutique embroidery or exquisite jewelry will do.

"That's good! Speaking of which, this confidant shop is doing really well. Now I don't make a facial mask or apply essential oil every few days, and I feel uncomfortable all over my body!" Shi Erniang answered cooperatively. One sentence.

She wants everyone to know that she spent ten gold to become a senior member of Confidante Smile!
"It's really good." Then everyone discussed for a while about the beauty products in the beauty smile.

The official banquet began, Lin Wanwan combined the local delicacies of the Tang Dynasty with modern delicacies, and all the noble ladies ate it lingeringly.

After the meal, the noble ladies gathered together in groups of three or four. Some enjoyed the view of the courtyard in the veranda regardless of the heat, some lay in the side room and let the maids turn the fan to take a nap, and some played the piano in the cool breeze in the main hall. drawn.

Lin Wanwan set up two small desks in the study, one with chess on it and one with go, and set up a ring to meet the challenge.

At the banquet before, Lin Wanwan, who was not a Wenchaogong, lost a bit when she played wine orders at the banquet, and now she is going to win back in the game of chess.

Several noble ladies who were proud of their superb chess skills came to challenge after seeing this, but all of them were defeated.
