Everyone is attacking me
Chapter 62 Low Ji┃Hope.
The Empress Dowager doesn’t grow many chili seeds, plus the ones grown in the palace of the Empress and Liang Cairen are enough for everyone to eat at most. It is obviously not enough to take it out for promotion, and we can only wait for next year.
However, the promotion of spicy peppers is coming slowly. The common people do not have the stomach medicine of Princess Changle, so they need to have a process of adaptation.
Therefore, before the next harvest season, spicy peppers will only be used as a special offering for the court for the time being. Except for the queen mother who can't hold back her heart that wants the whole world to know the delicious spicy peppers, and entertains her wives from time to time, only Emperor Su of the Yuan and Qing Dynasties and a group of cross-travelers Those who can eat.
But not everyone thinks spicy peppers are delicious, and not everyone can eat them, Wang An can't eat them, even mild spicy food is scary to him.
Of course, there are also those who like it very much, such as Princess Qingkang, who quickly adapted to spicy food and jumped from mildly spicy to extra spicy. She especially loves spicy hot pot. She had the cheek to ask the queen mother for a bag, and ate hot pot at home every day. Every time I eat it, I have to cook several pots, and then stir-fry a table of spicy dishes. The fragrance is so fragrant that it can be smelled across the two streets, and it attracts the eyes of the neighbors.
Chang'an City is very expensive, especially the few squares near the imperial palace. Those who can live on the same street as Princess Qingkang are not relatives of the emperor, but also princes and nobles. Ying is also very face-saving, and he responded with all his mouth to anyone who came, and finally he had the cheek to beg the Queen Mother.
The queen mother is most afraid of this younger brother and his sister-in-law, because the two of them are really giving her a headache.
Her original background was not high, and her parents were the most ordinary villagers. Because of her cute appearance, she was selected as a candidate for a show girl. The show girls entered the palace unless they could be canonized and wanted to meet their family members. Very difficult.
The queen mother didn't take her original parents and family to Chang'an until she became the queen mother herself.
Because she felt that she had borrowed someone else's body, it was inevitable that she would feel guilty facing the family of the original body. Fortunately, she followed the Empress Dowager Zhaoci to read and understand, and only gave the original body a material reward, and did not let them get involved in the government.
The queen mother originally had two older brothers and one older sister, but during the years she entered the palace, she died of illness and unexpected accidents, leaving only this younger brother. The Empress Dowager's parents have grown up with a lot of pets and pets. If she is not timid, she is afraid that she will cause many troubles.
Later, he married his wife, and the husband and wife were in the same line, and no one could stop them from messing around, but the two of them messed around, always stepping on the Queen Mother's bottom line, and told her nothing to do.
This time was the same, the queen mother had no choice but to send out three big bags to send people away.
The queen mother's younger brother and sister-in-law got up quickly, picked up the sack and ran away. The queen mother stared at it, and regretted showing off afterwards, so she should close the door and enjoy it secretly.
However, it is good to publicize spicy peppers. At least spicy peppers are no longer just popular science in newspapers. People have seen the real thing, and some have tasted it and loved it. Watermelons are served, but at least many officials have gone to the Ministry of Households to register their names, and they are planning to open up spicy fields in the coming year.
Compared to the fact that hot peppers are only circulated among the upper class, Yuan Pei's "Youth Bao Qingtian" became popular all over the country once it was published, and its popularity surpassed that of Song Jie's "The Legend of the White Snake".
When "Youth Bao Qingtian" was published, the Times had already printed its fifth issue. After laying the groundwork for the previous issues, everyone had a clear understanding of the newspaper. With convenient transportation, the speed of information dissemination was accelerated, and the publishing process became easier. Proficiency, starting from the fourth issue, newspapers are launched in all provinces of the country almost at the same time.
"Shaobao" is the first novel published in the Times. In order to avoid conflicts with the mainstream literary circles of the Wei Dynasty, Yuan Pei offered to put the novel section next to the advertisement instead of the literature column. This is to conflict There is no conflict, after all, they were not in the same circle from the beginning.
"Shaobao" is a complete vernacular. Except for the necessary quotations from ancient poems, there is no place for the word. Everyone can understand it, and only those who cannot read can understand it can be regarded as a truly effective science popularization.
Facts have proved that he succeeded. Although some sour literati couldn't accept it and despised it completely, the common people listened to it with great interest and were completely attracted by the story.
The use of a low-status gangster as the protagonist instead of a scholar really makes the common people feel very involved, and Bao Heitan's superb deductive reasoning and forensic knowledge are even more amazing.
At the same time, Song Jie began to rehearse the stage play "Small Bags" according to Yuan Pei's story.
·
Yu Xiaoliu lives in the untouchable alley in Pingkang Fang. He grew up here and learned the ancestral craftsmanship from his father. He doesn't know from which generation they became untouchables, and neither does his father. Father's father's father has been from humble origin since then, and has been making a living as a gangster.
His mother is a musician. It is said that his ancestors were also high-ranking officials. Later, when he committed a crime, his home was ransacked. The male was exiled, and the female was sent to the Jiaofang Secretary. In his mother's generation, his mother was skillful and learned how to make and repair pianos since childhood. As a result, he became a musician. Although he still had a lowly status, he no longer leaned on the door to sell jokes, and only used his handicrafts to eat. Later, his grandfather made the decision and married his father.
Yu Xiaoliu was lively and bright when he was young, and he often played with the children of ordinary people outside the untouchable alley. , father and mother were insulted by the number of people for this, this scene left a strong impact on Yu Xiaoliu's heart, after his father came back, he didn't blame him, he just stroked his head and said it was his fault, he didn't explain to him as soon as possible .
The young Yu Xiaoliu was ignorant, and he had a thought in his heart, since he could change from a good to a cheap one, then maybe there was a way to change from a low to a good one.
Although as he grew up and became sensible, he understood more and more, and knew that he might not be able to achieve it in his life, but there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart.
It's just that he didn't expect that hope really came, and it came so fast.
Yu Xiaoliu was going to the park with his companion Lin Xiaosi to watch the stage play of "Youth Bao Qingtian" on the day of the premiere. They didn't squeeze in front of the premiere, so they couldn't see clearly. This time they lined up at the park gate before dawn, and the cold wind None of them could dampen their enthusiasm, they hugged their thermos bottles with their necks curled up, and hurried the first batch into the garden, occupying the best seats.
"Quick, drink a cup of hot water to warm up first." Yu Xiaoliu opened the mouth of the thermos bottle and took out the wooden cup that he carried with him.
Lin Xiaosi took out the cup from his satchel and handed it over, enviously: "Is this thermos bottle also given to your father by Zhang Wulang?"
Yu Xiaoliu had a proud expression on his face: "Yes, Huang Dalang's rubber shoes and Mrs. Yu's white sugar were all sent by Zhang Wulang, and he also gave my mother a set of Fuchun cosmetics!"
"Your father saved the life of his only son. His family should thank you. I think there are few of these things. He invented the thermos bottle and made a lot of money. I heard that there are some technology shares. If you don't do it, you will get paid!" Lin Xiaosi was even more envious.
Yu Xiaoliu took a sip of water to warm up his body: "I have to thank Bao Heitan! My father saved people according to the method he said."
"Yes, yes, yes, I know this. Bao Heitan said that if a child chokes, he should use Hai's first aid method. What's the full name of that one? Hai, Hai..."
"It's the Heimlich first aid method!" Yu Xiaoliu's whole face lit up when he mentioned this category, his eyes shone brightly, "It was proposed by Song Xingxing who wrote the Shaobao, saying It’s their overseas name, but it’s too long, so they changed it to Hai’s First Aid Method. Everyone didn’t believe it at first, thinking it was a nonsense in the story. Remember, I told you at the time that I thought it was useful. This time, it’s from Zhang Wulang’s family. As soon as the incident happened, not everyone believed it, but Song Xingxing was the real one!"
Lin Xiaosi echoed: "Yes, Song Xingxing knows everything, just like Shao Xingxing, they are both powerful and understand everything. I really want to go overseas to see what they are like there."
Holding the water glass again with a dreamy expression on his face: "If only I could invent something, like Huang Dalang Yu Niangzi and Zhang Wulang, I will have no worries about food and drink for the rest of my life. When the time comes, I will marry a wife and take concubines..."
The more you think about it, the more beautiful it becomes, looking at Yu Xiaoliu: "Sixth brother, you have a good brain since you were young, please help me think about it, what can you invent?"
Yu Xiaoliu rolled his eyes, took out a piece of rock candy from his pocket and stuffed it into Lin Xiaosi's mouth: "It's a good idea, if I knew, I could still get your turn!"
"That's true." Lin Xiaosi sighed, but was soon distracted by the sweet taste in his mouth, spit out the rock candy, held it in his hand, looked at the snow-white crystal sugar, picked it up and licked it, " It's so sweet, Miss Yu is really amazing, she can actually make white sugar from yellow mud."
Yu Xiaoliu corrected: "It is not made from yellow mud, it is purified with yellow mud, called sedimentation filtration, and it is said that there is also steaming... Yes, distillation, I heard that Shao Xingxing said it, and he also went to Yu Niangzi's house to personally Look at it! My father said that in the future, we will build a sugar factory and produce it in large quantities, so that everyone can eat that white sugar."
Lin Xiaosi imagined that he would be able to eat candy every day in the future, so he couldn't help laughing, and then licked the rock candy in his hand even more slowly.
Seeing this, Yu Xiaoliu grabbed a few more pieces from his pocket, threw one into each of their water glasses first, and stuffed the rest directly to Lin Xiaosi: "Take it, I'll keep these for you to take." Go back and give it to Auntie and Wu Niang, eat whatever you have in hand."
He knew that Xiaosi wanted to keep some, and took them back to his mother and sister. Lin Xiaosi's family was more difficult than his family. His father was originally a performer, juggling in the street, and fell off the crossbar once. When he got down, he died on the spot. His mother brought five children, and the washing work couldn't support the family at all. Lin Xiaosi's two elder brothers died because they had no money to buy medicine. His mother had no choice but to become a matchmaker. prostitution.
Life is not easy for the untouchables. We are all untouchables and live together in Untouchables Lane, but no one will look down on them. Because the two families are neighbors, they often help each other.
"Thank you brother six." Lin Xiaosi was moved, "I will definitely ask my mother to pay attention to the best lady for you!"
Yu Xiaoliu grinned, "Okay."
The two chattered, and more and more people came to occupy the seats. When the theater was full, the actors from "Small Bag" came on stage and began to perform.
The new chapter just came out yesterday, so the plot was still the same as last time, but everyone still watched it with gusto.
Yu Xiaoliu didn't find a good seat last time, but this time he sat close and saw clearly without blinking his eyes. Watching dramas is more intuitive than listening to books. Which moment was missed.
The audience was surprised and delighted by the plot in it. When Bao Heitan found the murderer, thousands of people applauded in unison.
But this time after the performance, all the actors above did not leave immediately, and two people remained, unfolding a piece of paper.
Yu Xiaoliu didn't know many words, but the writing was simple, he even guessed and thought about it immediately, and before he could read it, he grabbed Lin Xiaosi's hand excitedly: "Little Si, Xiao Si , Did you see it? It said that the lowly status can be eliminated! Then Song Xingxing wants to recruit disciples, as long as he becomes his disciple, the lowly status can be eliminated!!"
Yu Xiaoliu was hit by a huge surprise, and his whole body trembled with excitement.
Get rid of the lowly status! !
This is what he dreamed of, and he thought it would never come true in this life, but he never thought that the opportunity would come to him so soon.
He must go, no matter how hard it is, he must become Song Xingxing's disciple!
The author has something to say:
The earliest thermos bottle in our country appeared in the late Northern Song Dynasty, also known as "warm water kettle", and the yellow mud decolorization sugar production method appeared in Yuan and Ming Dynasties (some say that Yuan has explanations) - from Du Niang.
Here it has become an invention of the common people in advance, so I won’t go into detail about these small inventions, but briefly mention them. After all, what I want to talk about is just an encyclopedia.
Travelers are not omnipotent, they have different perspectives, they cannot take care of all inventions, such as the rubber shoes before, and they are not omnipotent, and they will make mistakes, such as the paper drawing before, and they may make mistakes in the future.
However, the promotion of spicy peppers is coming slowly. The common people do not have the stomach medicine of Princess Changle, so they need to have a process of adaptation.
Therefore, before the next harvest season, spicy peppers will only be used as a special offering for the court for the time being.
