Xiangjiang giants

Chapter 293
There are not only stone roads in the city, but also many houses built with stone bricks, showing the advanced craftsmanship of this period.This is completely different from An Yifei's imagination, which should be a wooden house.

There are wooden houses on both sides of the street, but the area is relatively small, and it can be seen that they belong to the poor.Most of the shops on the street adopt the very old open-air vending method, that is, customers enter the store, choose the products themselves, and then pay and leave, much like an ancient supermarket.

As Number Zero continued to show the translated text in front of An Yifei, he began to gradually understand the meaning of the language spoken by the people in this city.

There are many beauties on the street. An Yifei doesn't know what other countries are like, but the people here in Wu country obviously eat fine food. The muscles of the back molars are tight and delicate, which makes almost everyone look very delicate.

After entering a tavern, he admired from the bottom of his heart: "A rich and leisurely life can create countless poems that have been handed down forever. At this time, Gusu is no less than our era except that there are no electrical appliances."

The tavern is made of brick and wood mixed buildings. Although there are no later luxurious wood carvings and brick carvings, the layout is very reasonable and grand.The spacious store directly faces a lake that has disappeared in later generations. The lake is full of reeds and wild animals.

After the analysis of No. [-], An Yifei knew that the fabrics that people wear today are made of nettle, which is the yarn in "Xi Shi Huan Yarn".

Language talent helped a lot again, and the current Wu dialect is very close to the native dialect of his hometown later on. Soon, An Yifei became fluent from stuttering.

But what makes him unaccustomed is that the way people express themselves these days is really like classical Chinese, one word represents many meanings, and the sentences they speak are very short.

"Do you want to drink?" In fact, Xiaoer did not mean disrespect. The word "you" appeared after the Tang Dynasty, and "you" is the Tungusic language of the Tartars, not Chinese.

(It’s not easy to write an article in classical Chinese, so the subsequent conversations are considered translations, all in modern languages)

"Yes, two jugs of wine and a plate of broiled rice." The abundance of material life in this era is beyond imagination. The so-called wine is rice wine.Although the staple food is still millet, there is also a lot of rice in Wu, a place south of the Yangtze River, but it is mostly used for wine making in this era.

In order to highlight their own culture, the Manchu and Qing literati revised a lot of history, including Chinese food culture, the peak of which was the so-called "X Han Banquet", which is the most obvious evidence that they wanted to directly replace peach rigidity and Chinese culture.

In fact, since the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty and after the enfeoffment of the world, peace and tranquility have allowed this huge country that has been close to a thousand years to be extremely developed materially and culturally.The so-called "inventions" of later generations also appeared in this era long ago, such as: papermaking, printing and so on.

Therefore, as those dynasties embarked on the history of technological retrogression, it is more appropriate to say that many technologies are discovered rather than "invented".Either some classics of the Zhou Dynasty were discovered, or they were passed down.

An Yifei ate very delicious stir-fried vegetables. Later generations spread the rumor that the ancients only knew how to cook, but in fact, most of them happened in remote areas, such as the northern border and so on.As one of the important areas entrusted by the prince of Zhou, the state of Wu has developed economically and culturally well after a long period of development.

Looking at the beautiful scenery, breathing the fresh air, and chewing the delicious food, An Yifei was very moved. "Number zero, speaking of it, the Zhou Dynasty is the real feudal dynasty. Feudalism, feudalism, divided and built. After that, only the Tang Dynasty has its shadow"

"I agree with this point, host. Such a system is very suitable for this era and has brought peace and tranquility. It is also the reason why this dynasty has existed for nearly a thousand years."

The beauties calmly chose a table not far from An Yifei as if they were in a bar in later generations.Then they talked about him in a low voice with a smile, after all, he was very handsome.

After returning a smile, "Oh, Qingqing Zijin, Youyou My Heart, I really like this era. Men and women can talk about love in the city, and they don't need to call for women's liberation. They are free."

"Well, this country and that country in this era are actually the pioneers of the feudal system in Europe thousands of years later. It is very interesting to let the lords fight between each other, and the king is the referee."

"Yingzheng is a scourge, and Liu Che is even more so. How many centralized dynasties after this surpassed the history of the Zhou Dynasty? However, the worst is the Song Dynasty. To use an inappropriate analogy, those lords are like my economic empire. The high-level white-collar workers in the middle school. The centralization of power has made them lose their motivation and weakened the entire dynasty. In the Manchu Qing Dynasty, heh, they are not even qualified to carry shoes for the Zhou Dynasty.”

Among the women at the other table, two kept winking at An Yifei.What they are wearing is not the clothes that have been transformed into "zongzi". In spring, they are quite bold.The Wu suits on their bodies are like deep V-necks, showing the depth of their respective "careers".Moreover, this kind of Wufu, which is not a formal occasion but a casual version, is very similar to the dresses of later generations.The clogs on the women's feet are of different styles, like sandals, and there are even high-heeled ones.

"Let's sit together", An Yifei was intimidated by the boldness of women in this era, following the invitation of the first woman, the others also joined in.

Glancing at the boss, guys, and other customers in the store, An Yifei knew that it would be very rude to refuse, which can be seen from their eyes.

After the two tables merged into one, An Yifei got more information about this era.The women are all working in the intensive nettle production workshop, which amazed him, and he also understood the origin of the word "Huansha".A large group of women are cleaning nettles packed in bamboo baskets on the shore. The dance-like movements with strange rhymes are beautiful just by imagining them.

"I have lived in the north all year round, and I just returned to my hometown yesterday. Of course I don't speak very fluently." Through chatting, he learned that he came to Helu's reign and the most prosperous period of Wu.

"The king of Wu has been selecting beauties in the past few days to settle in Xi Shi. Our sisters are going to go." The woman who spoke was the most beautiful of these girls.

An Yifei now understands that the average height of people is a direct reflection of living standards.In the prosperous era he came to, the average height was far higher than that of Hong Kong, and men over 180 centimeters were very common on the street.The woman in front of me is at least 172 cm tall, and the others are also in good shape.

"Xi Shi?" An Yifei was stunned, "Excuse me, is this a place? The boy has been away from home for too long, so I don't know very well."

The woman seemed to like An Yifei's eyes very much, she almost stared at him, "Xi Shi, the facility where the King of Wu arranged for beauties. It's located in the west of King Wu's Palace, and it's called Xi Shi."

Perhaps because of the exceptionally good water quality, the girls sitting with An Yifei all have excellent skin tones, and all of them have skin that is better than snow.And their black pupils prove that these are their ancestors, not Caucasians.

While dealing with the increasingly daring woman, "Zero, we shouldn't be called yellow people, look at them, their skin is almost like snow"

Today, Kong Lao Er is probably still working as his petty official in a certain countryside.Although Zhou Dan proposed "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith" as early as the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, the Wuchang of this era carried out a fascinating atmosphere of freedom and released people's enthusiasm to their heart's content.This is also an important reason for the blooming of a hundred flowers and the emergence of countless academic schools.

"Don't you ask people's names? Forget it, let me tell you, my name is Qiang. What about you?"

But no matter how open he was, in front of so many people, Qiang still wouldn't do anything, but his face was getting closer and closer to him.

"Qi? What's your surname? Oh, my name is Yifei, and my surname is An." This kind of dialogue is also very familiar to An Yifei, as if at a certain reception in New York.The way the beauty introduced herself was very direct, unlike the shy and eager to push and greet later on.

"Her surname is Mao, and her full name is Mao Qiang." The woman's actions also reminded An Yifei that when facing Hollywood stars such as Kari, she sighed in her heart: "We used to have freedom far surpassing that of the United States, but unfortunately, we lost it in the end." up"

"Ah?", An Yifei is not a novice, of course he knows this famous beauty in history.It was still a guess at first, but now he is sure that the so-called "Xi Shi" is a collective name for a group of beauties.Perhaps the stories of later generations are a combination of Mao Qiang and other Wuyue beauties?

Until now, An Yifei, who had no intention of looking at her at all, began to look at her carefully.Although the aesthetic concept has its own characteristics of the times, the beautiful things are common.After taking a closer look, he couldn't help secretly praising it.

There is no beauty treatment, and even very little cosmetics. Mao Qiang not only has almost transparent skin, but also has black hair all over his head.And her facial features are exquisitely matched together. Her eyebrows, which are composed of countless short hairs, disappear between her temples with a flying line, like the word "one" in calligraphy; her ruddy lips show her healthy body , with natural gemstone luster, slightly thick lips, but the overall small size makes people want to take a bite; the beautifully curved cheeks, and the equally graceful neck form a very beautiful face.

An Yifei worked hard, trying in vain to use a certain actress in memory to defeat the woman in front of her.Unfortunately, he could only admit in the end, "I'm afraid of comparison in everything. Compared with those goddesses I thought of in the early years, the stars are better than Haoyue."

"Get out of the way, where is Qiang? Wu Wang Xuanru enters the palace", two soldiers walked in outside the tavern. Their outfits easily reminded An Yifei of the games he had played. The armor was exquisite, and the weapons in his hands were made of bronze alloy. Shining light, showing their elite.

If An Yifei hadn't appeared, Mao Qiang would not have refused to become a concubine, but now, she chose to hide behind him.

How could such a beauty be swallowed by others?An Yifei stood up, "You two, Mao Qiang has promised to be my woman, so I can't leave with you"
