Good Life in Qin Dynasty

Yang Feiying ostentatiously talked about all the spices, but in fact his knowledge is not as good as Li Jiyang, a layman, at least he is more than 2000 years ahead of him!

So Li Jiyang showed him what a "genius" is!

Just one cinnamon bark, Li Jiyang talked a lot, from spices, to medicinal materials, to seasonings!

Thanks to his bedmate, Li Jiyang completely conquered Yang Feiying!

"Young master, this cinnamon bark is just what the young master said about it as a gift to the young master. I wonder if the old man can tell the guests like this?" The owner of the shop stood beside Li Jiyang and the others at some point, and listened for a long time!

"Cinnamon...?" Li Jiyang thought for a while, "Isn't your name here Yinxiang?"

"Since the original name is Guipi, of course it's better to call it the original name!" "Yinxiang" doesn't have the name "Cinnamon Pi" so nice!

The boss is an old man. The ancients didn't live long and looked old.

Li Jiyang didn't dare to determine his age, but looking at his white hair and mottled beard, he must be at least fifty: "Of course, of course!"

So the boss happily wrapped another ten catties of cinnamon for Li Jiyang!

At the next house, Yang Feiying and Li Jiyang had a serious competition, and he introduced Pei Lan!

"Li Sao": "Not only for Yu Yihui, but also for Yu Yihui to embrace the lettuce." Hui, the name of vanilla, is also called "lavender", and the common name is "Peilan".

This is not a kind of orchid, but a kind of herbal medicine. Li Jiyang was able to know this kind of herbal medicine thanks to the family background of the buddy who slept with him, because Pei Lan was the only thirteen in the earliest medical classic "Huangdi Neijing". One of the medicines in a prescription.

In ancient times, there were not so many medical works. As the earliest medical work, the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic contained only thirteen prescriptions and ten kinds of medicinal materials, including Pei Lan, which made Li Jiyang unable to remember it.

After all, this has nothing to do with his major, archeology!

Yang Feiying knew little about Pei Lan, but she was already a remarkable person in this era, and even the shopkeeper of this shop nodded frequently.

"It's most suitable to put this Hui alone in Dengzhong, and the fragrance is also refreshing." Yang Feiying finally finished speaking, feeling a little dry.

The shopkeeper hurriedly served a bowl of wine to moisten Yang Feiying's throat.

After drinking the wine and quenching his thirst, he looked at Li Jiyang, wondering what Li Jiyang had other opinions about Hui.

"Please pour me a bowl of boiling water, shopkeeper." Li Jiyang was also a little thirsty, so he asked for a bowl of boiled water.

"Oh, come here!" The shopkeeper hurriedly shouted: "Give this young master a pot of honey water!"

As I said before, honey in this era is a very precious thing, because sucrose has not yet appeared, and the only way to obtain sweetness is honey.

Soon, the honey water was brought up, and Chunya stepped forward immediately, first rinsed the bowl with clean boiled water, then wiped it with the thick white cotton cloth she brought, and then poured out a bowl of honey water, deliberately After looking at the water, there was no suspended matter in it, nor any dirty things, so it was placed in front of Li Jiyang.

Li Jiyang glanced and nodded.

This faction stunned some people at the time.

In fact, Li Jiyang is just relatively clean!

It is really difficult to pay attention to hygiene in this era, let alone let a modern person return to the Qin Dynasty, even if you return to the Republic of China, you can’t stand the hygiene habits of ordinary people, let alone more than 2000 years. The end of the Warring States Period.

Needless to say, sending a child who grew up in the city to a farmhouse now will not solve the problem of going to a hut!

Can you imagine a rural toilet?

Oh, forget it, let's not talk about the world.

After putting away the honey water, Li Jiyang sat there and started talking.

Starting from the genus of plants that Peilan belongs to, to the morphological characteristics, growth environment, and distribution area, he secretly changed the concept, basically according to the place names in the Warring States Period. It's nothing for top students.

Then there are the cultivation techniques, including the propagation methods, field management and pest control in detail!

Finally, he introduced the medicinal value. In this point, he basically learned what his bedmate told him!

He still remembered that because Perrin volatile oil had an inhibitory effect on influenza virus, when the flu was prevalent in winter, the person in the dormitory would get some Perrin oil and spread it everywhere, lest they catch a cold!

It was also because of him that in the first three years of college, none of them had the flu!

So he is too familiar with this taste!

In the end, even the source of the literature is available. It can be said that it is much more detailed than what Yang Feiying said!

Because Yang Feiying only knows that Hui is used for wearing spices and for ordering, and using it is more refreshing, that's all!

Look at Li Jiyang, what he said is a detailed one!

From then on, Yang Feiying completely admired him. At least in terms of spices, Yang Feiying felt that few people could have Li Jiyang's insight.

"Is what the young master said true? Can it prevent that... cold?" Someone asked Li Jiyang.

"It can only prevent one or two things. It would be better if it can be cleaned more." Li Jiyang pointed to his servants: "My family takes a bath every three days, whether it is the master's house or the servants, especially the baby Our nannies must be washed clean so that there are no peculiar smells or lice!"

Everyone chirped, and sure enough, this person looks much cleaner than ordinary people, especially Chunya, who has been raised by Li Jiyang for so long, her body is also cramped, her clothes are also very good, and her face is ruddy , bright eyes and white teeth, high spirits.

As expected of a personal maid, look at this maid!

Thinking of the maid in their own family, everyone felt that this maid looked pleasing to the eye!

Li Jiyang's long speech completely made the shopkeeper regard him as a heavenly man, and this time he even gave Li Jiyang two catties of Hui for nothing.

"Don't call it Hui from now on. This thing is called Peilan, which means Rulan." Li Jiyang felt that it was awkward to be called "Hui", so he should be called Peilan.

"No!" The shopkeeper said respectfully.

After they left, those who listened to Li Jiyang's long speech swarmed up, and each of them had some Perrin!

After going out, Yang Feiying not only bowed to Li Jiyang: "Ying said that she knows more about spices than anyone else, but she doesn't know that she is much worse than Young Master Li. Today, Ying has been taught."

"You're being polite!" Li Jiyang hurriedly returned a salute.

He talked a lot about spices today, which completely took away Yang Feiying's pride. He just didn't want people to think that he was easy to be bullied and kidnapped when he was young. He didn't expect Yang Feiying to salute him so solemnly. !

In the Warring States Period, only the teacher who taught the profession could be given this gift by the students, which represented gratitude.

Just after the two of them were polite, a group of people came out of the shop, all of them had heard Li Jiyang's words just now, and each of them bowed to Li Jiyang: "I have been taught today."

It turned out to be in unison!

It made Li Jiyang jump!

He is a boy who is only a year away from adulthood, and the older people in this group are almost catching up with his father, so saluting him is really afraid that his life will be shortened!

"Everyone, be polite, be polite!" Li Jiyang hurriedly returned the salute.

He was already small in body and young in age. In such a panic, he lost all his adult appearance just now. Then Yang Feiying happily returned the salute to everyone, and took him to the next spice shop. shop.

This is what a child looks like!

Afterwards, the two of them bought spices in a regular manner. In fact, there were not many spices at this time. The Silk Road was not opened, and many spices from outside the region were not brought in. Li Jiyang bought all the spices produced in Zhongyuan, and Most of them come from Chu State, because Chu State is in the south, close to the sea, and close to places like Yunnan and Guizhou in later generations, now it is called Baiyue.

So they finished buying a lot of things, went in and looked around but didn't buy anything, Li Jiyang was a little embarrassed at first, because every time they went in, they were warmly received, but they didn't buy anything!

Yang Feiying noticed Li Jiyang's embarrassment: "What's wrong?"

"We don't buy anything when we come in, and people still welcome us warmly, isn't that great?" They all served wine syrup and honey water.

The wine is for Yang Feifei to drink, but the honey water is obviously for him!

"You are already a celebrity in this street, even if you go in for a walk, they are very happy." Yang Feiying pointed to Li Jiyang: "Look behind you."

Li Jiyang turned his head, startled!

There are several young masters following far behind!

"They are all people who want to learn more from you, as well as the shops we have been to, and some people have gone in to buy something..." Yang Feiying told Li Jiyang: "You can buy any kind of spice now, and they will buy it later. You can buy them all!"

Li Jiyang was dumbfounded: Could this be the so-called "celebrity effect"?

So in the next store, he bought some peach blossoms. Dried peach blossoms are also a kind of spice. At this time, there is already a process for making dried flowers. Although it is rough, if you mix peach blossoms, orchids and other flowers and plants with lamp oil, The "Deng" that is lit will emit fragrance, which was also mentioned in the previous chapter.

Li Jiyang finished buying dried peach blossoms, even though it was only half a catty, Chunya carried it in person.

As a result, before they got out of the store and waited until the entrance of the next store, the store was overcrowded!

Li Jiyang smiled, and Yang Feiying took him to the next one. In fact, they were almost done shopping. Li Jiyang just wanted to go shopping. There are 28 large spice shops in this street, and 36 small spice shops. The two went shopping over and over again!

At the same time, Li Jiyang's name was also spread among the young masters of the upper class....

Spices were something that only the nobles could afford during the Warring States period, and most people couldn't afford them. During Li Jiyang's shopping trip, he spent all his gold just to buy spices. The spices only accept gold!

Although the Golden Law of the Qin Law stipulates that those who live in the city and the officials of the government should not dare to choose money and cloth;

It means that the merchants in the shops and the officials in the government treasury are not allowed to choose between the two currencies of money and cloth; but the chief of the army does not report, and the officials are not strict in inspection, and they are all guilty.

But who made everyone in this street have a deep background, and this habit is established by convention, Li Jiyang doesn't know, but Yang Feiying must know!

So Li Jiyang settled with gold.

After shopping around, Li Jiyang pointed to a big restaurant next to him: "I'll treat Mr. Yang to drink."

Yang Feiying readily agreed and followed Li Jiyang into the restaurant.

This restaurant is next to Spice Street, and the people who eat here are either rich or expensive, so Li Jiyang is very satisfied with the cleanliness. Of course, he also wants to visit the back kitchen, but unfortunately, he also knows that this request is too much , did not announce it.

And this shop served roasted beef, which was served in two big pottery pots, and there was also a plate of white flour pastry, which is already a good dish for receiving nobles. He brought a jar of honey water, a urn of wine, and two large bowls.

They sat on a couch, and the people who followed them sat on the periphery of their meal. There was also a pot of meat, but it was stewed mutton, and there were also bowls and chopsticks, but they didn't drink.

Li Jiyang has a small dagger with him. It used to be a bronze dagger, which was used for cutting meat. Since he started collecting storage bags from Qing Lingzi, he has never lacked a dagger. Now the dagger in his hand is a sharp one. A pure steel dagger, although it looks like a bronze handle, but the blade of the dagger is the kind that reflects light in the sun!

The palm is long, and there is a bronze dagger sheath, which looks similar to that of the Warring States Period, but you will find that his dagger is extremely sharp.
