The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

This is a small hollow silver jar with a bust of an imported character. It also has four small stoppers and a small **** lid at the bottom. The shooting and production are very exquisite.

This thing was unearthed from a stolen funerary tomb. It will be cleaned and placed on the table outside Zhang Nan’s exclusive tent. There are a lot of items that Nong Bosheng asked Chen Jianghua to send for Zhang Nan’s appreciation. .

This small silver jar is separately packed in a transparent specimen bag: the portrait looks like an obvious Westerner, and the whole feels like an ancient Greek bust. The costumes are gorgeous and the hair accessories are exquisite and complicated. The place is clean and clean because of the reasons it has been used. Slick and slippery.

The statue is laughing, even if you look at it a few more times, you will feel that this guy's smile looks a bit funny, and people want to laugh.

Butler Tom came in at this time and asked whether to take a bath before or after the meal: This horrible place has limited conditions, but it is still possible to let the boss take the simplest hot bath, and the servants who came with him are not decorations.

"After dinner." Zhang Nan didn't feel uncomfortable. "Tom, tell everyone not to be too busy. Just prepare me two pots of hot water and a bucket of clean cold water. I'll just wipe it."

The highest temperature is more than 20 degrees, and the normal situation in the early morning is at most seven or eight degrees. The air is still relatively dry. In this kind of weather, as long as you can wash your hands, wash your face, wash your feet and then wipe your body, it is not a big problem not to take a bath for a month.

When I was a buyer in my previous life, I was on business trips, but the bathroom was not found anywhere. There are even fewer cases where the room comes with a hot water bathroom, even if there is one, I am not willing to live.

Working for the public is fashionable and so, not to mention that in the two years of being a tutor, it is normal not to take a bath for a long time, and Zhang Nan is not so delicate yet.

Wash every day when you have conditions, and you can make do without conditions.

Tom didn't make any suggestions. Now that the boss has said it, he can implement it himself.

"Sir, the dinner is set at 7:30. Both Chinese and Russian styles are available. Mr. Andre also invited several Russian officers to our camp for dinner. Let me ask you what you mean, whether to eat in the big tent or for you. send over?"

Inviting others to dinner, Andre agreed with him, but not in the name of Zhang Nan.

I didn't want to deal with these mid-level officers too much, so he said, "Just send it in, and inform the director of the National Agricultural Expo. I will not go to them to use the hot pot.

The main dish is just a stir-fried deer loin that the kitchen will prepare. The argali can be refrigerated in the kitchen for a few pounds of lean meat. I will use it tomorrow.

I don't need drinks, I want to rest early after the meal. "

After speaking, Zhang Nan pointed to the items on the table, and said: "After letting people sort them out, they will send them back to the director of the farm."

Then he picked up the funny little silver jar on the table, "Tell them, this is a pepper shaker."

As he said, he took out a small gadget from the small storage cabinet on one side, "Take this together and let them compare. But tell them to look after they have washed their hands. I will use it for meals."

......

"The Huns have pepper? This is a good find."

The experts here who were able to continue sorting out the unearthed cultural relics in the big tent took back the items returned by the servants around Zhang Nan. After hearing the message and the things he had brought, Lao Wang said this.

Nong Bosheng is using a small brush to clean the bronze trim on a piece of harness. Hearing the words of Lao Wang, he said, “It’s not surprising that pepper has long been on the menu in ancient Greece and Rome. After Alexander’s expedition to the southwest of Congling The large pile of Hellenistic kingdoms left behind also has pepper.

The Huns have an intersection with the countries of the Western Regions. The Dayue directly borders those Hellenistic countries. It is quite normal for the Huns to have a pepper shaker. "

It’s normal, and the more normal Zhang Nan’s recognition of this pepper bottle is authority here. Whoever allows him to have an ancient Roman pepper bottle, this will be held in the hands of an African-American servant wearing a hunting suit, and it’s a cover. Wearing a new transparent specimen bag.

Nong Bosheng didn’t let anyone put Zhang Nan’s pepper bottle on the table when it was sent back: This ancient Roman pepper bottle was used by Zhang Nan. There are a pile of unearthed artifacts here, and he knows that Zhang Nan has it. At that time, I was very particular about it, so I didn't allow the pepper shaker that was still in use to touch the things dug up in the tomb.

When the servant left with the pepper shaker unearthed by Hoxon, the experts discussed about the pepper shaker, focusing on the condiments of the Xiongnu's diet.

Lao Zhang and Zhang Hongfu thought that the Huns were unlikely to use pepper, but Lao Wang had her own point of view: "Perhaps they snatched it from the Dayue people, and the Yue people got it from the Greeks in Bactria. .

It cannot be said that the Xiongnu aristocrats often eat pepper, it is very possible to have eaten it.

Besides, I remember that there should be a lot of pepper records in our ancient books, right, but I don't remember it clearly. "Turning his head," Lao Qiu, talk about it. "

Lao Qiu, whose name is Qiu Honggao, is 67-8 years old. He has a deep research knowledge in ancient Chinese classics~www.readwn.com~ Upon hearing this, Lao Qiu said: "Book of the Later Han, Volume 88, Biography of the Western Regions "Record: "A body poison in Tianzhu country, thousands of miles southeast of Yueshi...West and Daqin are connected, there are Daqin treasures. There are also...pepper, ginger, black salt."

In the later period of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Volume 4 of "Qi Min Yao Shu" quoted the book "Guang Zhi" written in the Jin Dynasty, saying:'Pepper came out of the Western Regions. ’

I won’t talk about the later ones. Looking at the Han Dynasty, we in the Central Plains should have seen pepper, and it’s also strange that the Huns have eaten pepper. "

Speaking of taking the small jar handed by Zhang Hongfu, he looked at it a few more times, and said: "This thing may have been used for dozens or hundreds of years after it was in the hands of the Huns. The signs of wear and tear are obvious, and it has been used for many years. Hand polished.

However, according to the traffic and trade environment at the time, even if the Huns were alone, it was impossible for the Huns to eat pepper, let alone ordinary nobles.

I think this thing is more likely to be used for salt, or other spices, such as fennel or Chinese pepper.

Mao Dunna Hui is known as "Podong Hu, Zouyueshi, Megatron Baiman, surrendering to Zhu Qiang." The Western Qiangs were enslaved and sent by the Huns for a long time. At that time, the Qiang people should have produced prickly ash.

You can't eat pepper, so it's okay to replace it with pepper powder.

Let me tell you guys. Just now I saw whole lamb roasting in the kitchen. How about we washed this stuff and decorated it with cumin powder? "

A bunch of old friends, Lao Qiu is amused. It must be very interesting to use the ancient Greek style pepper bottle unearthed in the tomb of the Xiongnu to fill the ancient cumin called fennel.

Interesting to be interesting, the experts still did not make such creative actions in the end-without the ancient Greek style pepper shaker, the taste of those roasted lamb is still very good.
