Chinese dining table

Chapter 86

People who know the cause and effect of history feel bad when they stand in Chang'an City. On the one hand, they are a little proud, and on the other hand, they feel that since the history is like this, everything they do seems to be wasting their efforts.

Soon, Yunchu no longer had such troubles.

Looking at the housekeeper of Ren Mao Li Yi's house, Yun Chu didn't even have the strength to worry.

"[-] yuan! This is my husband's salary for half a year. This time, all of it will be donated to Jinchangfang. I hope the head of the village will not think that the money is too little."

The butler of Li Yifu was very polite when he spoke. These words seemed to be explained by Li Yifu himself, because the expression on the butler's face when he said these words was seriously inconsistent with his modest words.

Yunchu asked Fangzheng Liu Yi to put the money away, and politely sent out the housekeeper who gave the money as a charity.

There is no need to be offended by the attitude of some money givers, because the money was originally for nothing.

If there were such large-scale money givers on the streets before Yunchu, it wouldn't matter even if he was asked to kneel down on the streets with his colleagues.

Thirty thousand dollars, thirty pennies, enough for Yunchu to build thirty flower beds in Jinchangfang.

With these [-] flower beds, Yunchu will be able to let Jinchang Fang participate in the evaluation of Chang'an City Huayuan Fang City, and win the first place in one fell swoop.

With these thirty flower beds, Yunchu can create several job opportunities for gardeners in Jinchangfang.

With these [-] flower beds, Yunchu can earn money and food from those Chang'an people who come to Jinchangfang to visit, visit, and wander around, which can maintain the operation of these [-] flower beds.

This is the secret of the country's strength. The foundation of economic operation lies at the grassroots level. If the chiefs of every city in Chang'an can consider for the city as painstakingly as Yunchu, the economic growth of Chang'an City will increase by at least dozens of times. percent.

There are more people giving money, and the specifications of Fangmen must be continuously improved.

At the beginning, Yunchu planned to build a beautiful square gate with wood, together with carved beams and painted buildings, it should be able to satisfy the emperor's longing for his mother.

When Cheng Yaojin and his family sent money, Yunchu began to consider using carved blue bricks to satisfy the emperor's appetite.

Now, even Li Yifu, the human cat, has sent over his salary, so Yunchu decided to use stone materials to build the gate.

It's a pity that there is no such good stone as white marble near Chang'an, otherwise, Yunchu would definitely use it. After all, only this kind of stone can perfectly express the noble disposition of Empress Changsun.

The most indispensable thing in Jinchangfang is craftsmen, carpenters, stonemasons, joiners, and fine stoneworkers. Many of them have participated in the construction of Emperor Taizong's mausoleum, and some have work experience.

The most expensive part of building a gate lies in the materials, and Yunchu thought that labor is the least valuable. The best fine stonemason in Jinchang Fang is the kind of craftsman who can carve stones into stone Wengzhong. The salary only needs ten big coins plus two catties of corn.

Standing at the gate of Jinchangfang, the first thing you see is always the magnificent Daci'en Temple.

Therefore, Yunchu planned to carve a phoenix with light yellow granite out of light yellow granite at the gate of Jinchangfang, and then let this phoenix complement the magnificent Daci'en Temple behind it, and finally became the most popular place in Chang'an City. landmark buildings.

Liu Sancai, who communicated with the water system of Jinchangfang, met Yunchu several times in the bathhouse, and at Yunchu's suggestion, finally became the first one in Chang'an City dedicated to rich and noble families, temples, palaces, and villas. A professional contracting team for the production of small environmental water systems.

The first unit to use this contracting team was the Daci'en Temple. They planned to use the lotus pond with a high water level to introduce the concept of water system into the temple's architecture.

This is very important for the temple. The entire Da Ci'en Temple is made of brick and wood, which has very high requirements for fire protection.

With the example of Liu Sancai, more people came to Jinchangfang bathhouse to take a bath.

The people who like to get close to Yunchu recently are two fine stonemasons, one named Peng Wulang and the other named Zhang Ting.

These two people belong to the level of master craftsmen in the general work. The difference from other masons is that their family has millet and millet to eat all year round.

Both of them expressed their intention to give Yunchu a bath, but Yunchu still likes to let the boy named Er Niu give him a bath.

"Li Chang, when it comes to fine stonemasons, the villain's craftsmanship is not only the best in Chang'an, but at least our Jinchangfang..."

Before Peng Wulang finished speaking, Zhang Ting sneered on the other side of Yunchu: "This is too big and too shameless, so you carved two crudely made ones on the Shinto in Emperor Taizong's mausoleum." Elephants, and Shi Wengzhong, who represents civil servants and military generals, I made two pairs by myself."

Yunchu looked around at the two skinny masons, and said casually: "First carve out the phoenix we want, and if the phoenix is ​​done well enough, when the time comes, the two of you will take a team of masons to do the job." .”

Peng Wulang pondered for a while and said: "The villain has seen it. As long as our workshop starts to be overhauled and built, other workshops will probably not be able to sit still. Not to mention the poor workshops in the south, the rich and noble workshops in the north will definitely follow suit. We came from the construction model of Jinchangfang.

As the village chief said, there will be too much work to do.

The reason why the villain came to look for the village chief was to ask the village chief to help the villain and arrange a labor contract team like Liu Sancai. "

Yunchu pulled back the repaired foot from Er Niu's knee, put the other foot on it, and asked him to trim the toenails with a sharp knife.

This is another business that Yunchu opened up for this child. It costs a penny to trim the nails of hands and feet.

This kid is doing very well now. After a day, just helping people cut nails, he can earn three to five big dollars.

"Both of you are registered general craftsmen, you must think clearly about this, don't be called away by the general prisoner after half of the work for others, it is easy to smash the signboard after a long time.

In addition, in terms of fees, you must not be stupid, and don't quote lower than the other. If this cycle continues, the two of you will become idiots, and no one will want to be full.

You must remember that you people are different from those scattered craftsmen in the West Market, you only take on big jobs that scattered craftsmen cannot take over.

It is the kind of work that takes one after another for three years. "

Peng Wulang and Zhang Ting saw that the head of the village didn't seem to be paying much attention to their affairs, so they looked at each other, kicked out the two cattle who were working, and said in a low voice: "The two of us are willing to keep two cattle for the head of the village. A dry stock."

Looking at these two fine stonemasons who wanted to treat themselves as fools, Yunchu was still very emotional. There was no bright spot in other things in Datang, but the merchant's calculating heart was no different from that of later generations.

Yunchu called Er Niu back and continued to accept his nail grinding service. As for the two idiots Peng Wulang and Zhang Ting, he pretended they didn't exist.

It's not that easy to start a company. You must know that Liu Sancai gave Yunchu a solid [-]% of the shares, not some [-]% of the shares that anyone can calculate.

Perhaps because of the pride of the experts, neither Peng Wulang nor Zhang Ting continued to increase Yunchu's benefits, and with dark faces, they scrubbed their dirty bodies in the clear water.

Naha finally fell in love with taking a bath, especially in the big bathhouse. She can splash around in the clear water pool, and there are a group of friends around her. Every time she takes a bath, it is the happiest for Naha time.

The two brothers and sisters came out of the bathhouse with red faces and looked at each other with a smile. It was not time to eat evening food at this moment, and they just went to Guangfufang to eat the mutton bread sandwiched by the young couple.

These days, the two of them, brother and sister, have been there twice, each time exchanging copper pancakes for beard pancakes.

Naha also brought it back to Cui Shi and the old monkey, and they agreed to eat it.

At this time, it is time to ride a horse when going to Guangfufang. Both brothers and sisters ride on the back of a bay red horse. This scene is not uncommon in Chang'an City. donkey.

The bay red horse soon brought them to Guangfufang.

The pretty little daughter-in-law came up to her with a smile, but the young man had an ugly complexion. Although his hands were busy all the time, there was always one eye on his daughter-in-law.

In his eyes, Yun Chu was a bully, a dandy, and a bully who was always eyeing his beautiful wife for ideas.

With the bonus of anger, he split a sheep's head with a single knife, with such strength that he didn't even have the accuracy of the head.

Naha raised her hand to touch the young daughter-in-law's face, and imitated her elder brother's way to press her nose, and then the two brothers and sisters burst into laughter.

The pretty face of the little daughter-in-law will turn red, and the young man's eyes will glow, and the knife in his hand will be stronger, almost cutting the chopping board in half.

Hubing is as crisp and fragrant as ever, and the lamb head meat is as crisp as ever. After adding salt and pepper, the taste is naturally as good as ever.

Six copper coins, three roujiamo, fair trade, and the smiling face of the little daughter-in-law is purely a gift, which makes this transaction lively.

"Come back tomorrow!" Yun Chu sat on the tall horse and waved his sleeves at the little daughter-in-law, and went back to Jinchangfang with Naha while nibbling on cakes and meat.

When he was leaving the gate, he vaguely heard the young man yelling and cursing, when Yun Chu looked back, the young man's figure flickered and disappeared.

People in Guanzhong have such a temper. They know that they can't beat them, so they have to scold them back, but when scolding people, they must first ensure their own safety.

Therefore, it is commonplace in Chang'an to suddenly jump out and curse, and then walk away.

The ultimate goal of Yunchu and Naha is Fengyifang.

It will be New Year's Eve in two days. Cui said that he must order some Tusu wine and Jiaobai wine. It is said that one of these two wines can ward off evil spirits and the other can avoid plague.

In Ruyi Winery in Fengyifang, Yunchu personally tasted these two wines.

After drinking it, I realized that these two kinds of wine, not to mention plagues and evil spirits, are unbearable even to humans.

After drinking the Tusu wine, Yunchu tasted a familiar taste of medicinal material - aconitum.

He used it a lot in the Western Regions, but he used aconitum to kill people, unlike Chang'an people who used it to make wine.

As the name suggests, pepper and cypress wine is a wine with pepper and cypress leaf juice. After drinking the pepper and cypress wine, his mouth and tongue are numb, and if he drinks Tusu wine, Yunchu can no longer taste the aconitum in the wine.

The configuration of these two wines is very interesting. If Yunchu needs to kill someone during the Chinese New Year this year, he is going to make use of this drinking method.

Anyway, Tang people must drink these two kinds of wine when they celebrate New Year's Eve.
