[Group Wearing Song Dynasty] The Glory of the Sky

Sugar has been a luxury item for hundreds to thousands of years from its appearance to its spread.

It is said that the taste of food in Anhui is sweet, because in ancient times, the economy was developed here for a long time, and the rich people put sugar in the dishes to show off their wealth, and came up with various dishes to match the sugar.

Children from poor families can't afford honey and sucrose, so they can only eat the only trace of sweetness in caramel.

People's longing for sweetness can be traced back to the barbaric period, after all, sugar can light up life.

In modern times, a lot of sadness and boredom can also be resolved with high-sugar and high-fat foods, after all, it will indeed bring an irresistible sense of pleasure.

Now it is August of the third year of AD, the heat is hot and the library and auditorium are full of people enjoying the cool.

——The library has opened the number-taking system, but those who have the student ID cards of Guangling Academy and Jiangyin Middle School can enter the venue first.

Popsicles and ice creams of various flavors began to be sold one after another, which was something new that had never existed before.

Because...Jiangyin itself does not have sugar cane.They traveled here in November, and the fruit shop didn't sell sugar cane at all, and they didn't know that Sichuan in the Song Dynasty could import sugar cane.

Now that he has negotiated a rather large order with Jin Guo, he finally has a stable supply of sugar products.

After the mutation, although fruits and other things have been widely planted one after another, and greenhouse technology has become more and more developed, there is not much technical difficulty in making sugar from fruits, but the cost is slightly higher, and the price is not very affordable.

The Kingdom of Jin has a vast area and a large population. Now it has started large-scale sugar workshop operations and grain planting, and has begun to recover in all aspects.

Lin Guo was very satisfied with the price they offered, and was also willing to exchange currency. He directly placed several large orders of different types, saying that he could also import some honey.

In summer, not only smoothies and sorbets are necessary, but various iced fruits are also must-haves to cool off the heat.

Luo Te glanced at the golden little yellow croaker in the treasury, and decided to make persistent efforts to earn a few more sums.

As a result, fruits such as watermelons and peaches were finally opened for export after the production stabilized, and at the same time, ice was sold at a relatively low price.

As early as the Tang Dynasty, people discovered the method of making ice with saltpeter.

Put the kind of saltpeter used in gunpowder production into water, and ice can be made even in summer.

However, the output of saltpeter is small and the price is high. Nowadays, few households of the common people can afford ice basins.

But now, because the Linyang Highway has been repaired, trucks transport all kinds of fresh things to several nearby cities every day, and start selling surprisingly cheap ice cubes.

—and fresh ice is on sale every day!

The common people have long known the benefits of drinking ice in summer, and their attention is focused on the various fruits that were shipped together.

For them, watermelons and peaches are new things that are so strange that they can invite friends to come and study them for a long time.

There have been watermelons in the Song Dynasty for a long time, but the melons in the Song Dynasty are similar to the melons in the Linguo...the shells are both a big dark green lump, and the painting style changes suddenly when everything is opened. It is not clear which one is more like foreign food.

Luo Te also specially bought a melon from the Song Dynasty, just to take it back to the Senate and cut it for them to see fresh——

The white skin is very thick, and more importantly, the flesh is curly and thin, with a lot of seeds.

It all looked like a tomato -- and an old tomato at that.

"It's hard to eat." Liu Xi took a bite himself, and the meat was already eaten before he bit it down: "And it's not sweet."

"It's because your tongue has been spoiled for a long time." Luo Te poked at the shriveled and juicy meat, and frowned, "Aren't you afraid of having a stomachache? Song's domestic products are native to them, so don't eat them carelessly." something."

Facts have proved that it does cause stomach upset.

In addition to watermelons, some peaches from Song Dynasty were also bought back.

Since this is a fruit from thousands of years ago, the genes have not been improved by artificial breeding. Not only is it small in size and less in juice, but it also tastes strange.

Peaches look as big as plums, but they all taste sour or even bitter, and some of them taste salty...

Thinking about it carefully, it is uncomfortable enough to be an ancient person after time travel.

You can't eat beef casually, the fruits have not been improved, the meat is poor in quality, low in sweetness and small in size.

Although people in the city who are fed up with appetites often clamor for raw ecological food and resist fertilizers and medicated fruits, it is indeed super delicious.

Fruits such as mango and durian have been cultivated with some difficulty. At present, there are not many plants in the greenhouse, and they cannot be sold casually.

Both mango trees and durian trees have very high requirements on light and humidity, and it takes eight years for durian trees to grow. Although nearly a hundred durians will grow on the tree after eight years, they still need to be treated like their ancestors.

There were not many durians frozen in the cold storage before, and they became a luxury because of the rare goods.

As soon as Zhao Qingyu's grades came out, he actually passed. Liu Xi went to Jiangyin to pick up a durian, put the durian in the car, and then went to Dongcheng District to pick up Qingyu, but when he came back, the thing was gone.

Not only was the window smashed, but the camera in the car was directly destroyed, obviously not wanting to leave any traces.

Looking at the smashed sports car, Zhao Qingyu subconsciously said, "You said you wanted to show me a treasure...just this?"

Liu Xi didn't realize which game this was playing——

This durian is worth thousands of dollars, but the car is worth tens of millions, and the windows are smashed like this just to grab a durian, so what about stuttering?

It just happened that the location of the car was not very good, and when I turned back to the surveillance video, I could only see the back of the man. As expected, he was dressed in ancient clothes. He wore long shirts and long sleeves in summer, and he just swayed past like a black bat. up.

"But it's just a durian..." Liu Xun's expression was inexplicable: "How much enmity is this with me..."

The durian was hugged in someone's arms, and it got out of the checkpoint like a baby, and was sent all the way back to Lin'an City.

Here, Zhao Gou was still having a meeting with civil and military officials, discussing the garrison arrangement in Chang'an area, only to hear the startled sound of a young eunuch blocking the door, and a spy rushed into the hall in front of everyone!

"Bold!" The guards stepped out and stopped him: "You are so presumptuous, don't you want to die!"

The spy directly lifted the swaddling baby in his arms with both hands, knelt straight in front of the crowd, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I took my life to bring this sacred object back from Yangzhou!"

Seeing that he was holding a swaddling baby, Zhao Gou's expression changed immediately: "What is this?"

Could it be that the god was reincarnated and was hidden in the mansion where Liu Xi and the others were hiding?

"Your Majesty! This is a dragon egg! It's the egg of a real dragon!!"

The spy had already burst into tears when he shouted, and tremblingly peeled off the silk and satin outside the swaddling clothes, revealing the things hidden inside layer by layer.

"What? Dragon egg?!!"

"Is it really a dragon egg?!"

"He actually brought the dragon egg back from Linguo? How should the dragon egg be hatched?"

Everyone's expression changed instantly, and some people even started to tremble all over, thinking about how they could see such a sacred object.

The discussion and exclamation in the court hall became more and more boiling, and people could not wait to walk over to see what was hidden in the swaddling baby.

Is there really a strong man who can snatch the dragon egg back from Yangzhou with his life?

Will Linguo send troops to Linguo?

This dragon egg is real and fake, how to deal with it? !

Zhao Gou obviously didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, he walked down the dragon chair quickly in surprise, and almost tripped himself!

When he heard the word dragon, he had already lost his sense of proportion. At this moment, everything else in the world was no longer important, and only the egg in the swaddling baby was protected in his eyes.

Prime Minister Tang next to him saw the spy's face was full of tears, he shouted "Congratulations to the official" and knelt down. The other courtiers didn't dare to hang their necks to see what the dragon egg looked like, and knelt down in a large area.

Zhao Gou approached the spy who was kneeling and holding the swaddling baby while everyone was kneeling, and the closer he got, the more his heart beat wildly.

Is this—is this—the egg of a real dragon? !

He peeled back the last layer of tulle and saw what was inside.

It was a huge round egg covered with thorns like bone spurs, and the surface was covered with an extraordinary dark golden color.

It lies there so quietly, but it carries the beliefs and expectations of a country.

Zhao Gou took a deep breath for a few seconds, only to feel that his heartbeat had stopped.

Is this the legendary egg that was born by Tianlong? !

Even if it's just a light touch, it's like a needle pricking your hand—could it be Tianwei? ! !

This is——this is the secret of Linguo.

Those who lived in Yangzhou City said that the people of Linguo could summon five or six feet long dragons intertwining and spraying water when they walked through the water, and the egg he saw must be real!

"Your Majesty, when I found this egg in his car, I tried my best to invite the real dragon back," the spy explained with sincerity, "This egg It is covered with thorns, it is not vulgar at first glance, and it is as heavy as a full-term baby. Compared with the baby dragon, it is almost the day of hatching, and it will definitely be born in a few years!"

It turned out to be snatched back from Liu Zi!Liu Xi——he really has been hiding this treasure all along, and he still uses something like science to talk about it!

"This is a sign of auspiciousness, and it is God's will!" Prime Minister Tang knelt down in the distance, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this news is of great importance, and it must not be spread outside!"

Zhao Gou suddenly turned his head and looked at the courtiers in this hall.

He slowly took over the heavy swaddle and returned to the dragon chair with the heavy dragon egg in his arms.

"Zhen, I want to worship heaven and earth in secret, and even more so, I want to worship my ancestors."

"As for matters related to the hatching and breeding of dragon eggs, it will all be handled by the Ministry of Rites—" He said coldly, "If anything goes wrong, I will take your heads for questioning!"

Lu You and several other courtiers knelt in place, exchanging glances calmly.

He felt that something was wrong.
