Ten years as a substitute!Now that she leaves, she regrets it too much

"Five bowls of pig blood soup!"

“And get the meatloaf!”

"More..."

Before Zhang Zhejie finished his performance, Lin Xixi protested: "It's okay to drink soup, but can I change the meat patty?"

Thinking of the cake she had eaten in the morning, she still felt uncomfortable.

Eating meat feels good for a while, and eating meat feels good all the time.

But can't stop.

Once you stop and think about continuing, it becomes difficult.

"OK then."

Lao Zhang had to accept Lady Lin's request: "Let's change it to steamed buns! If you want beef filling, get four taels."

"And some more side dishes, please."

"Row."

The proprietress had everything recorded, and then she called people to serve the food.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Zhejie asked, "Brother Wang, why don't you bring your sister-in-law with you?"

"She's not coming."

Wang Xutang took a puff of his e-cigarette helplessly: "She has studied this place in the past. She knows how to get there even with her eyes closed. Do you think you can come?"

"That's true."

Zhang Zhejie chuckled. After a while, the soup and steamed buns were brought out. Several people had a meal in a hurry. After paying, they went straight to the Forbidden City.

……

"I seem to have eaten a little too much."

Jiang An was very embarrassed now, and his stomach was a little full. It was obvious that he and Lin Xixi just drank a bowl of soup and didn't eat any buns. How could there be such a big burden?

"This pig blood soup is our famous tonic."

"But it doesn't matter. It'll be fine in a while."

Wang Xu's appearance was not much better than theirs. He shook his hair and led a group of people into the Forbidden City.

Compared with the Forbidden City in Beijing, this place is much smaller, and the styles and regulations of many buildings are much different.

However, it is precisely because of this that it better reflects their local culture.

"Look, compared to the Forbidden City in the capital, the architecture here has more of our northern style."

"And is the name you think of different from the one in the capital?"

Wang Xu naturally had to act as a tour guide for them today. After going through the explanation, he almost explained the architectural functions and design concepts of the entire Forbidden City.

Zhang Zhejie just listened to the excitement, while Lin Xixi and Ruo Jia were fascinated.

"From what Brother Wang said, it seems that the Forbidden City here is completely different from the one in the capital."

"The difference is huge."

Wang Xu said, taking them back to the square in front of the palace, and at the same time he also asked a question he had prepared in advance.

"Come, look at this."

Pointing to a very tall wooden pole in the square with a platform below and a bucket on it, Wang Xu asked, "Do you know what this is?"

"Flagpole?"

Ruojia herself shook her head after saying this: "It can't be the flagpole, because there is a wooden bucket on it."

"Is that for observation and sentry?" Zhang Zhejie asked.

"If it is used as a sentry, I think only a three-year-old child can stand on it."

Ruojia thought this was unlikely: "Xixi, do you know what a god is?"

Lin Xixi shook her head, saying that she wouldn't say anything if she didn't understand.

None of the three people knew what it was, so in the end they had to focus on Jiang An. If Teacher Jiang didn't know, there would be no other way.

But Jiang An knows.

With a slight smile, Teacher Jiang made a brilliant appearance: "If I read this correctly, it should be the Sauron pole."

"Solon Rod?"

Lin Xixi pursed her lips: "What is that for?"

"It's used to summon the divine bird."

While speaking, Jiang An looked at Wang Xu with a smile, as if asking him.

"Yes, that's right."

Jiang An continued: "Solon's pole is the local name. If translated, it is the magic pole."

"It's used for sacrifices. Look at the wooden bucket, millet, minced meat, etc. are usually placed on it, and then served to the crows."

"crow?"

Lin Xixi raised her eyebrows and held back the next words.

Although she was very curious, because in her understanding, crows were not a very popular bird.

But Lin Nuxia was very smart and knew that what appeared in the palace was definitely not an ordinary thing, so she didn't say much, but waited for Jiang An's explanation. "That's right, you must be curious."

"But in the Qing Dynasty's heritage, crows have a profound meaning to them."

"This has to do with Aisin Gioro Bukuri Yongshun. His descendants imposed harsh rule on the tribe, and a tribe rebelled."

"Later, all the clan leaders and leaders were killed, and only a boy named Fancha escaped. Seeing that he was about to be overtaken, Fancha could no longer run, so he lay down under a dead tree in desperation."

When he said this, Lin Xixi suddenly took over: "In the following story, was that person saved by these crows?"

"Correct."

Jiang An smiled slightly: "That's the story. Because there were crows covering the sky and the sun, the people who were chasing him gave up because they found no trace of him."

"In the end, Aisin Gioro's descendants can continue to reproduce."

"And from then on, the locals began to use Sauron poles, which were used every day in the palace and in ordinary people's homes for sacrifices."

Wang Xu added with a smile.

"Why doesn't this story sound so true?" Zhang Zhejie raised his eyebrows: "Can a large group of crows really protect him?"

"do not know."

Jiang An shook his head: "This is a matter of faith, and there is nothing to talk about."

"That's true."

With a slight smile, Jiang An and the others had completed their trip to the Forbidden City.

"Let's go back to eat."

After playing in the Forbidden City for a day, they were indeed very tired. They did not destroy it to protect the cultural relics here. There was no place to eat inside.

Although the pig blood soup is very nourishing, it is not easy to survive for most of the day.

"Brother Wang."

After a pause, Jiang An said: "We have finished playing in the Forbidden City today, and then we plan to rest for a day or two before going back."

"what?"

Wang Xu was obviously surprised: "Going back so soon?"

"I've been bothering you for a long time."

"...Okay." Wang Xu calculated the days and it was indeed approaching the New Year: "In that case, come to my house for a meal and say goodbye to the old man."

"I think so too, but I have to wait until the old man has time."

"rest assured."

With a slight smile, Wang Xu said: "My father has time if I want to see you."

For such a big compliment, Jiang An would definitely continue: "I'll give the old man a call when I get back. It's better for me to say this myself."

"Row."

Wang Xu waved his hand, originally this was an insignificant matter: "Then let's go back now, but just wait for me."

With that said, Wang Xu turned around and left.

Jiang An quickly asked: "What's wrong?"

"To the restroom!"

……

in the hotel.

When Jiang An and his party came back, they had a simple bite in the hotel. After all, the hotel's rank was in front of them, so the quality of the food was definitely no problem.

After seeing Wang Xu off, he called Mr. Wang again.

Both parties agreed to meet the day after tomorrow.

"Would you like to bring something to the old man this time?"

Lin Xixi reminded her carefully: "It's not good if they take care of us so much and don't show any signs of it."

"That's true……"

But Jiang An thought about it for a long time and didn't know what to give.

"See if this works."

Without him having to work hard, Lin Xixi brought her phone over and showed it to him. What was shown on it happened to be the signboard of a famous blacksmithing workshop located in Longquan.

"Do you want to give the old man a set of kitchen knives?"

"It's a handful."

Lin Xixi thought, since Mr. Wang is the president of the local cooking and chef association, of course he should give him something he can use.

"But his things are all custom-made. Isn't it too late the day after tomorrow?"

"Teacher Jiang is so stupid today." Lin Xixi chuckled: "After you place the order, wouldn't it be nice to leave your address with the old man? Then they also have a store here, so you can get the goods in advance. one."

"Row!"

Jiang An felt more relieved now: "Then do as you say, I will place the order now."

"Something else."

Lin Xixi grabbed the phone and said, "Let me get it. Since it's a gift for someone, of course it needs to be more refined." (End of Chapter)
