After making a wish, financial freedom

Chapter 349 What is Civilization
Li Zhuo smiled and said:

"That's great, let's go, we are here, we must try the local food."

"Okay, I only know Roujiamo, and I know too little. I finally came here, and I must try it." She replied.

Li Zhuo searched the Internet and found a Shaanxi cuisine restaurant with a black pearl, called Chang'an Hui, located in Yanta Qu.

After they got out of the hotel, they got into the car and went there.

The decoration style of this store tends to be retro, the environment is more elegant and quiet, and it is darker, the light is relatively dim, and the light is used to create a sense of atmosphere.

From this point of view, this store is quite brilliant.

There are not many people in this store at the moment, Li Zhuo chose a side table and sat down, after the service staff came over, he asked:

"You have quite special dishes here, please recommend two."

"Okay, sir, gourd chicken is the first local specialty, which is also our signature dish.

There is also Chang'an Jiuding plate, which is a snack before and after meals, cold dishes, you can try it.

The turmeric soft-shelled turtle steamed bun has a slightly heavier taste, but the taste has always been highly praised.

There is also Fuping fermented glutinous rice baked apples, this is a dessert, ladies generally like it..."

The waitress recommended four kinds, Li Zhuo said after listening:
"Please give us a portion of these. The amount is less than the normal amount, because we want to try other things, and we are afraid of wasting it."

"Okay, sir."

He then ordered Taibai Snow, Oil-splashed Old Tofu, Chang'an Roasted Three Delicacy, and Old Flavored Money Roasted Qin Niu.

Finally, a sliced ​​flax cake.

The taste of this restaurant belongs to the more mellow type, typical local characteristics.

Taibai snow is to cultivate the appearance of a mountain with salt, and then sprinkle ethanol on the outside to ignite it. After burning and cooking the baby fish inside, the service staff breaks the salt shell and distributes the fish and mushrooms to two people. It is full of ritual and meat. It is also very tender, but it is too salty.

The gourd chicken is steamed first and then deep-fried. It is very soft and rotten. The staff can separate the chicken and bones with chopsticks. The meat is soft and rotten without fiber texture, and the chicken skin is crispy and juicy.

The taste is still good. It is said that this gourd chicken is the first in the long list, and there is still a brush.

Chang'an Jiuding plate is beautifully presented. Nine wooden grids hold Jiuzhong snacks. It looks good in photos. It is mainly Chinese desserts, and they are too sweet. They only ate two bites and stopped eating.

The turmeric soft-shelled turtle steamed bun is similar to the mutton steamed bun, but it is more fragrant and the meat is more tender. The texture of the steamed bun is soaked in the thick soft-shelled turtle soup. The taste is really good. Anyway, as a northerner, Li Zhuo likes it very much.

It was Zhou Ge's first time eating soft-shelled turtle. He tasted it cautiously and thought it was delicious, so he ate a lot later.

The old-flavored money-grilled Qin beef, the sauce is full of fragrance, not only local beef is put in it, but also eel meat, with the aroma of truffles and mushrooms, the taste is very good.

This Shaanxi cuisine is indeed good, and its taste is indeed local.

The price is not too expensive, the two of them ordered a lot of dishes and spent a total of over [-] yuan.

After eating and leaving the restaurant, Zhou Ge hugged his arm and whispered in his ear with a smile:

"Honey, I ate a lot, and now my belly is bulging."

Li Zhuo saw that there were not many people around, so he stretched out his hand to touch her belly. It was still flat, her figure was not deformed at all, and she didn't know where she had eaten.

Zhou Ge hugged his hand and said with a smile:

"No, it's embarrassing to be seen."

Li Zhuo replied:

"If you touch my belly, we'll be done."

Zhou Ge smiled and shook his head:

"No, no, someone is coming."

There were indeed passers-by passing by them, but the passers-by just thought they were good-looking and took a look at them, and they didn't react abnormally.

After leaving here, they went to Datang Everbright City.

This is a scenic spot that you have to visit when you come to Chang'an. It covers an area of ​​65 square meters. It is a large pedestrian street imitating Tang Dynasty buildings built on the background of the flourishing Tang culture. There are four squares in it, a concert hall, a grand theater, an art gallery, etc. Cultural venues are also built in it.

There are a lot of tourists, shoulder to shoulder, a sea of ​​people is not an exaggerated adjective, it is a real scene here.

If you want to experience the prosperous civilization established by the Chinese dynasty at the peak of history, this is the right place to come.

Civilization is not about talking about it, like South Korea.

Civilization is rituals and music, cars and buildings, and classics.

In ancient East Asia, there was only one Chinese civilization, and its influence was far-reaching and extensive.

After seeing the bustling night scene of the city that never sleeps, Li Zhuo felt boundless emotion in his heart, and his thoughts drifted——

The ancient Chinese dynasties rarely engaged in Western-style barbaric aggression, slavery, genocide, or slave trade, which was bloody and brutal.

The ancients emphasized cultivating culture and education to educate people from far away, and to guide people far away to be good and good with the influence of civilization.

Later, the ancient Chinese gradually established a radiating world with vassal states and tributary states as the two-dimensional system. The vassal states such as Vietnam, North Korea, and tributary states such as Japan, Siam, Luzon, Champa, etc., influenced East Asia, Southeast Asia, And parts of Central Asia and South Asia.

The Celestial Dynasty does not need to conquer these places, because the conquest is for profit, but the ancients were very smart, and they could harvest the whole world by relying on their ingenuity, so why is it necessary to conquer them?
The ancients sold silk, tea, and porcelain all over the world.In Europe, porcelain and silk are more expensive than gold. Only in the Ming Dynasty, a lot of silver flowed into China from abroad through trade.

There are differences in the statistics of economists, but the lowest statistical data is 1.8 million taels of silver, and the highest statistical data is 5.5 million taels.

Moreover, whether it is silk, tea, or porcelain, they are all renewable resources, which are endless.

If there are mulberry trees and silkworm eggs, there will be silk; if there are processed tea trees, there will be tea; if there is clay, the ancients can make porcelain, which is a durable economic commodity with low cost but high returns.

Relying on these, the Celestial Dynasty can harvest the world's economy, where there is no use for colonial massacres.

These are all done by the ancients relying on their own ingenuity.To put it bluntly, where in the world is there no clay?But which nation can produce celadon, white porcelain, Yaochang Tianmu lamp, etc. that can only be produced in the Celestial Dynasty?How valuable these things were in ancient times. Japan and the Netherlands imitated porcelain, and Italian city-states imitated weaving silk since the Middle Ages, but no one could do it as well as the Celestial Dynasty.

The ancients used their ingenuity to maximize the natural endowments of the land we live in, such as tea trees, mulberry trees, clay and other natural objects. If this is not a manifestation of the ingenuity of the entire nation, what is it?
Li Zhuo never denies that he is a nationalist. He has a natural sense of bondage to the land he was born and grew up in, and to the well-known and prosperous Chinese civilization.

Those who belittle their own people are strange, he cannot understand.

It is always said that China's science and technology is backward, but in the last century, the British Needham made clear statistics in his authoritative book "History of Science and Technology in China", pointing out that in the entire 3 years from the 13rd to the 1000th century, more than 50% of the world's major scientific and technological achievements originated from the ancient China .

Now, as long as it is the latest technology, if China can stand on the same starting line as the West, the strength of China is basically the first and second.

A recent research report from the Australian Strategic Think Tank pointed out that among the 44 latest and most critical technological fields, China ranks first in the world in 37 fields, including space, robotics, new energy, environment, biotechnology, and artificial intelligence. Ten fields such as biology occupy a monopoly position.

In contrast, the United States ranks first in the world in seven fields, including high-performance computing, quantum computing, small satellites, and vaccines.

Li Zhuo sincerely looks forward to the early arrival of the prosperity of the revival of the Celestial Dynasty. He has already thought about it. When he gets the money this time, he will donate a part of it to military science and technology colleges such as Western Polytechnic University.
