Chapter 147: Beijing Eight Pieces

As for the phoenix crown, according to the "Da Ming Hui Dian" records: regular clothes, phoenix crown: double phoenix feathers and dragon crown, made of soapstone. Attached is Cuibo Mountain. Decorated with a golden dragon on the top, with two pearls and emerald phoenixes on the feathers, both holding beads in their mouths. Front and back. Beaded peonies, stamens, green leaves, beaded hair on the temples, beaded clouds, etc. Three hair temples (a total of six left and right). There are two golden dragons, each holding bead knots. They can be worn by the empress of the Ming Dynasty to the wives of ninth-rank civil servants. , there are differences in color, pattern, decoration and materials according to status level.

In the Ming Dynasty, ordinary women could also wear phoenix crowns and harems when they got married.

"How about it? What kind of wedding dress did you see in your dream?" Luo Tian asked.

Cheng Zhen shook his head: "It seems that I really made a mistake. It's not Fengguanxiapei. How should I put it? I'll go find a pen and paper and draw it. You can take a look, okay?"

"Okay, this is more intuitive." Luo Tian said.

Cheng Zhen's painting skills were pretty good. After reading it, Luo Tian said: "Cheng Zhen, you are really wrong. Although you only saw a back figure, this is a wedding dress from the Han Dynasty."

"Wedding clothes from the Han Dynasty?" Cheng Zhen was a little embarrassed: "Really, I would have painted it for you earlier. If I ask you for help now, will he be angry?"

"How could it be? I don't know how much I like you as my daughter-in-law, but it would be much easier if I wore Han Dynasty wedding clothes." Luo Tian said: "It's really strange, how could you dream of such Han Dynasty wedding clothes, and , I feel that this is more of the style of the early Han Dynasty, and there are still some legacy of the late Qin Dynasty in it. It doesn’t matter, I will definitely try my best to help you find such a Han Dynasty wedding dress, and it must be an antique."

"Thank you, you don't think I'm going too far, do you?" Cheng Zhen said cautiously: "I don't know why, but the feeling of wanting to own this set of clothes is very strong. Sometimes I also think that this doesn't seem like my character. ,But……"

"Okay." Luo Tian blocked Cheng Zhen's mouth with his hand: "You always don't mention any conditions, and I still feel panicked. What's more, this is your only request? I will definitely satisfy it and wait for the company's new products. After the press conference, I will devote myself wholeheartedly to the search and I will definitely fulfill your wish."

Cheng Zhen felt happy, but a little uneasy. There was something she hadn't mentioned just now. She had been dreaming about this Han Dynasty wedding dress for a week, and she dreamed about it every night. She didn't see it clearly at first, but She was vaguely vague, but it seemed to be getting closer recently. She didn't understand that she seemed to be deeply attracted. The clothes seemed to have magic power. In fact, Cheng Zhen received a British education and had always hoped to get married. It was a white gauze dress, a romantic Western-style wedding. Just like her sister, her change came very suddenly, which made her feel too abrupt. It was a purely Chinese-style wedding. Cheng Zhen smiled. In fact, it was not bad. Everyone We are all Chinese, why do we need to learn about Western-style weddings, which are neither fish nor fowl?

"Why are you laughing?" Luo Tian said: "You have already thought of what you would look like in Hanfu, right?"

"Well, it's hard to imagine." Cheng Zhen snickered and said, "Okay, let's go to bed."

What Luo Tian didn't expect was that it would not be easy to find the Hanfu that Cheng really wanted. Not only him, but also Ouyang Tian was puzzled as to why this ancient Hanfu was so hard to find. He even tried to find it. The idea of ​​asking Curator Fu for help was naturally suppressed by Luo Tian. He still didn't believe this. Why couldn't he find an ancient Han wedding dress?

Luo Tian had no time to worry about the ancient Hanfu, because the new product launch conference was coming soon, and a special new product promotion meeting had to be held. This time, there were friends from the media and some regular customers, that is, VIP customers. In addition, Luo Tian

Tianyi also invited many old acquaintances from the appraiser company, mainly friends from the Chaozhou business gang. This press conference is a very important step for Tianyi Jewelry. The road to innovation and pioneering, Luo Tian naturally

He devoted his whole body and mind to it, and even forgot to eat and sleep. Even what kind of wine to drink at the reception, Luo Tian personally arranged it.

The nature of this Feng Shui ornament is quite special. Although it was developed by a jewelry company, it is integrated into the traditional Chinese Feng Shui culture. How to hold this press conference, whether it is Chinese style or Western style, is also very particular. I held a meeting with the senior management of the jewelry company.

After that, the operations department still advocated Chinese style. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be nondescript to hold a goblet in a big hotel and listen to Feng Shui judgments?

The press conference was held in the oldest teahouse in the city, which is probably something other companies had not thought of. The jewelry company’s press conference was held in an old teahouse, but Luo Tian and Lao Luo thought this arrangement was the most ingenious and attractive enough.

Eyeballs are drawn. Although we are in a teahouse, we can't let the guests just drink tea, right? Luo Tian specially invited a master chef from Beijing. His ancestors made pastries for the emperor's concubines in the Qing palace. There are all kinds of imperial delicacies.

Desserts are a must-have.

What this master provides is the "Jingba Piece", including the Big Eight Piece and the Small Eight Piece, which are very exquisite. The Jingba Piece is the royal pastry of the Qing Palace. It was the original creation of the Imperial Kitchen of the Qing Palace, and it is an offering for the royal family, royal sacrifices, and ceremonies.

Food. Weddings and weddings, giving gifts to each other, essential cakes in daily life.

In the earliest days, the cakes were engraved with auspicious words such as blessing, wealth, longevity, happiness and "everything goes well". The cakes were placed on eight plates and arranged in various patterns, so they were called Jingba items. Jingba items were divided into eight plates.

There are three types: large puff pastry pieces, small milk skin eight pieces, and fine wine skin eight pieces. The Jingba pieces are made of exquisite materials, and also contain the elegant cultural color and the noble style of the royal family. They were passed down from the palace to the people, and of course they were favored by people from all walks of life.

And the people love it. In our Tianjin, every second day of the first lunar month is also called "Sister-in-law's Day", because on the second day of the Lunar New Year, when you return to your parents' home, according to Tianjin custom, you have to buy a box of snacks to give to your mother-in-law, and the Beijing Eight Pieces are a must.

Less.

The traditional Big Eight cakes are divided into the following eight types, namely, the Fu character cake, which symbolizes happiness, the Taishi cake, which symbolizes high officials and wealth, the longevity peach cake, which symbolizes longevity, and the square cake, which has the word "xi" in it.

There are silver ingot cakes, which symbolize wealth, and are stuffed with salt and pepper, roll cakes that look like a book, and are stuffed with salt and pepper, chicken fat cakes that are homophonic to "lucky and rich", and jujube cakes, which may mean a young couple.

Give birth to a child early, and it must be born with a boy and a girl.

The small eight pieces are made into various fruit shapes, including small peaches, commonly known as longevity peaches, small apricots, homophonic for luck, happiness, small pomegranates, pomegranates with many seeds, small apples, safe and sound, small walnuts, Hehemeimei, small persimmons, and things.

Everything goes well, small oranges, jujubes, etc. also have their own meanings. The small eight pieces are smaller and lighter in weight than the big eight pieces. In addition, there are also "thin eight pieces" with wine skins, which are more exquisite in materials and more finely made.

.

The fillings of Jingbajiu are mostly stir-fried fillings. The main ingredients include white sugar, hawthorn, jujube paste, Chengsha, etc., plus some auxiliary ingredients such as seed kernels, osmanthus, roses, honey, etc. It is delicate and silky, with a soft texture and a refreshing taste of honey.

It is sweet and fragrant, so it is also called "honey stuffing". Jingba Piece comes from the palace kitchen, so the ingredients, production methods, and the shape and flavor of the finished product basically retain the original characteristics. This chef is very famous, and the teahouse

When the boss knew that this famous teacher was coming, he was even more excited than Luo Tian. He was probably mentally preparing to steal the teacher.

Master Liu came from Beijing and brought his apprentice to help him. All the materials were also flown over. He was very strict. Luo Tian personally went to the airport to pick him up and brought him to the teahouse. For this press conference, Luo Tian was hands-on in everything.

Because, Luo Tian's friendly attitude made the master very satisfied, and he praised Luo Tian repeatedly. How could there be such a big boss these days? Master Liu's rigorous style also surprised Luo Tian. He borrowed the kitchen, but the

I brought many of the tools myself, which is very valuable.

Eat and drink as much as you want, and the royal pastries must be paired with good tea. This teahouse also has some history. He doesn't dare to boast that the pastries are better than the old royal ones in Beijing, but he also has good tea and pastries that he is good at.

The black tea is the best, and the quality Keemun black tea provided.

Keemun black tea is produced in Qimen, Anhui, China. Qimen is located at the southern end of Anhui. It is surrounded by branches of Huangshan from east to west. There are Dahongling and Lishan in the northwest, Nanmuling in the east, and Zegenling in the south. The mountainous area accounts for the total area.

90% of the tea gardens have an average altitude of about 600 meters. About 80% of the tea gardens are distributed in the canyon area with an altitude of 100-350 meters. The forest area accounts for more than 80%. The temperature difference between morning and evening is large, there are often clouds and fog, and the sunshine hours are short, which constitutes

The natural environment where the tea trees grow creates the special aroma and flavor of "Qihong".

Before the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, this area mainly produced green tea. Later, black tea tea-making technology was introduced from Fujian in 1875, and the trial production of black tea was successful in 1876. Since then, it has become the place that has attracted the most attention among tea gourmets in China.

In 1939, the total output even reached one-third of the total black tea in China. It won the gold medal at the Panama International Exposition in 1915, and is known as the world's three largest black teas with Darjeeling, India, and Uba, Ceylon, with high prices.

It has repeatedly hit new highs. The best Qihong Kungfu tea is bright red in color, with full aromas of spices, flowers, honey and caramel. The taste is mellow and timeless, which is very attractive. Its aroma is especially called Keemun Incense, and is also known as Keemun Incense.

Known as the most fragrant tea, Prince Tea.

The teahouse owner was very proud when he mentioned his Keemun black tea: "The Qimen harvesting and production process is exquisite. One bud, two or three leaves are picked as raw materials. After withering, rolling and fermentation, the buds and leaves turn from green to copper.

Red, fragrant, and then roasted over slow fire until dry. After the red tea is made, it must be refined. The refining process is complicated and labor-intensive, including sifting, shaking, sifting, closing the door, sifting, cutting, and winnowing.

, picked, replenished, cooled, blended, and packed. Compared with green tea, the most important thing in the processing of black tea is to increase the fermentation process. After the finely crushed buds are fermented, they turn from green to dark.

Brown, people have to carefully select and remove the tea stems. To process one kilogram of fine black tea, six kilograms of fresh buds and leaves are generally needed. How about it, Mr. Luo, it's settled?"

"It's decided, everything must be of good quality. If there is one negative review, I will deduct the money." Luo Tian said.

The boss shook his head: "Mr. Luo, this is not the first time you have come to my place. The last auction was also held at my place. You can use my place however you want, but I never mentioned it."

Do you have any opinions? This time, you didn’t like the refreshments here. I invited the master chef from Beijing and I didn’t say anything. You know, if this was done in ancient times, it would be tantamount to damaging your own brand and publicly admitting it.

It’s your own thing, but didn’t I agree? You don’t believe in my tea anymore, what should I do?”

He is really a businessman. He just said that he would deduct the money. This boss was too sensitive. Luo Tian said: "Boss, you have to be more confident. The money will not be deducted. My success or failure depends entirely on you.

There are still two days left, so you employees must also cooperate well."

"Don't worry, don't worry, but don't mention the deduction of money. I can't stand being scared." The boss smiled and sent Luo Tian out. Luo Tian turned back and waved to him: "See you in two days."
