Chapter 626

Pu Jie also happened to look at Yu Yao right now, "I seem to have some ideas too!"

"Self-warming cup!" Yu Yao said word by word.

Pu Jie immediately interjected, "Could it be possible that this thing is real? Looking at it this way, it seems that it may really be these three words!"

Yu Yao immediately put out the cigarette, and picked up the rubbings again, "Look, this is Xiaozhuan font, if it is a self-warming cup, then the current word '目', there should be three small vertical lines on top of '直'; There should be a Japanese character on the left, no, Xiaozhuan should be next to the fire character! Now hurry up and see if you can compare it from the traces of the lines!"

At this time, it was getting dark, and the two locked the door, turned on the lights, and compared them in detail.

Now the comparison is much easier, as long as three small vertical lines are made from the lines on the top of the word "mu"; from the left side of the word "yuan", a side of the word "fire" is made.

"It really is a self-warming cup!"

After confirming that he could make it out, Yu Yao couldn't help but yelled, and then frowned, "But..."

Pu Jie looked at Yu Yao: "But what? You think that the real thing suddenly appeared in the legend, and you don't believe it?"

Self-warming cups have appeared in many unofficial histories and notes.It is said that during the period of Emperor Xuanzong Li Longji of the Tang Dynasty, there was a wine cup in the inner treasury, which was as thin as a piece of paper, with patterns like messy silk, and there were thin strands of wrong gold on the foot of the cup: self-warming cup.

It is said that when Li Longji drinks from a self-warming cup, after pouring wine into it, the wine will become warm and steam will come out.There is no need to warm wine at all, and it is better than an electric kettle.

"I was thinking, this is Xiaozhuan script. If it is true, then it is a product of Middle Earth. Since it is a product of Middle Earth, could this stone be made into a cup?" Yu Yao pondered.

"Don't you say you can't see the material? Maybe it's not stone, or something synthetic?" Pu Jie continued.

"You can't take it for a test, right?" Yu Yao said, "Just after washing with water, there is no abnormality..."

"What's there to think about? Just pour wine and try it! Just be quick." After Pu Jie finished speaking, he began to rummage through the boxes.

"There's no wine here, are you turning your hair over?"

"Who said there isn't?" Pu Jie actually found out half a bottle of Jiangzhou Daqu, "When you were out, I drank it alone in the store at noon one day, I went out to buy it, and ordered a takeaway shredded duck."

"Damn!" Yu Yao couldn't help laughing, "You're really good at it! Then try it!"

Yu Yao put the cup on the Eight Immortals table, and Pu Jie poured half a cup of Jiangzhou Daqu into it.

The two stared and waited for about a minute, but nothing unusual was seen.

Pu Jie sighed, sat down and lit a cigarette, "You said this thing is from the Tang Dynasty, right?"

"From the shape and traces left by the wrong gold, it should be similar." Yu Yao also lit a cigarette, "However, even if it is from the Tang Dynasty, it may not be the legendary self-warming cup!"

"That's true, the Tang Dynasty may also be imitated." Pu Jie nodded, and suddenly slapped his thigh again, "Since it is from the Tang Dynasty, if it is not a real self-warming cup, let's make a new one and put it on it?"

"Do you want to take the Mongolian?"

"This thing is different from ordinary antiques. In fact, it's not easy to fool people. I just think it's a bit interesting. It can be put in the store as a decoration!"

The two talked while smoking, the smoke was lingering, Pu Jie couldn't help fanning the smoke with his hand, his eyes suddenly changed, "Hey? Look!"

Yu Yao quickly extinguished the cigarette, carefully observed the wine glass, at this moment, he saw a faint heat floating out of the mouth of the glass!
"I'll go! This can't be a self-warming cup, right?" Pu Jie reached out and pinched the outer wall of the cup, "It's fine outside, it's still cool."

After finishing speaking, Pu Jie was about to reach out for the drink in the glass.

"Slow!" Yu Yao quickly stopped, "Just observe for a while!"

"It's okay! Think about it, since the warmed wine can be drunk, it doesn't matter if you put it in your hand!" Although Pu Jie responded to Yu Yao, he didn't put his hand in it after all.

The heat from the mouth of the cup is actually not too much, and it is coming out in small strands. Looking at the wine in the glass, there is nothing unusual, but the heat on the surface of the wine can be a little more.

The two observed for about 5 minutes, and found that the heat had not intensified, and it was always in a faint state.

Pu Jie didn't ask Yu Yao any more at this time, and directly reached in to check.

"It's a bit warm, not very hot, but definitely not the original temperature!" Pu Jie shook the drink from his hand.

When Yu Yao heard this, he couldn't help reaching out to explore.Indeed, the wine is only a little warm, but it can also be called warm wine.

"What kind of material is this?" Pu Jie scratched his head.

"I think it's natural, not a synthetic material, but if you want to find out, I'm afraid you have to send it to a professional authority for inspection." Yu Yao replied.

"This can't be given as a gift! Otherwise, it's a meat bun beating a dog—you never return!" Pu Jie looked at Yu Yao, "Since you dated from the Tang Dynasty, and you can warm wine, it seems that it should be true Self warming cup!"

"It's just that the speed of warming the wine seems a bit slow!" Yu Yao said, picking up the bottle, "This Jiangzhou Daqu is 39 degrees, right?"

"Yes!" Pu Jie nodded.

"39 degrees... There is no wine with such a high degree in Tang Dynasty!"

Indeed, there was no wine with a high alcohol content in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, the main drinks were rice wine, wine, and sake (only pressed, not distilled).

The word "shaojiu" that appeared in the poems and essays of the Tang Dynasty was not distilled baijiu, but red wine.

Therefore, the wines popular in the Tang Dynasty generally had a relatively low alcohol content.Shen Kuo’s "Mengxi Bi Tan" in the Song Dynasty introduced the main processing methods of Tang wine. It can be inferred that the alcohol content generally does not exceed 15.00%, and some are only about 5.00%, which is similar to the current beer.

As soon as Pu Jie heard what Yu Yao said, "What do you mean? If it is replaced with a low-degree wine, maybe the speed of warming the wine will be accelerated? This can further verify whether it is a real self-warming cup or not?"

"That's the idea."

"Okay! Put it away, go to eat first, and buy a bottle of rice wine by the way to try."

When the two were eating at the restaurant, Yu Yao said to Pu Jie again, "If your consignor and mine are the same person, then this old man from Grandma Wang's family collected a lot of interesting and good things during his lifetime!"

"Judging from the few things we have come into contact with, it is really true. Well, let me ask in detail, and what else is there to sell."

"Besides, the old man's collection seems to be a bit... How should I say it, it's a bit serious to say that it's weird, that's what it means, it's all quite unique little pieces."

"It's not yet confirmed that the owner of this wine glass is Grandma Wang's daughter!" Pu Jie interjected, "Hurry up and eat, let's go back and get the rice wine to try the glass first!"
