Chapter 38: Having a child should be like Chen Saburo
(Comrades, vote for recommendation, vote for Sanjiang, we want to be among the top three in recommendation votes!)
-
In fact, Brother Xiaoliang is overly concerned. People in the county only think that the Chen family lives in a courtyard in Sanjin. They just think that the family is too low-key. Moreover, they only hired a nanny a few years ago, which makes Wang, a fruit seller on the street,
The lame man couldn't stand it anymore: "To say that Chen Xiucai's family is a good one, but they don't know how to enjoy it! If I had a son who was the God of Wealth, I would have hired a doorman, a cook, a servant... and a dozen pretty maids.
!"[]
"Nangqiu, this is a serious scholarly family, and what we talk about is gentleness, kindness, respect, frugality, and letting! You must be one of those filthy people who are superficially moralistic but secretly beastly!" said Mrs. Liu, who was selling popular scripts nearby.
Hearing this, he cursed: "Besides, who in the county doesn't know the generosity of the Chen family? When it came to building bridges and paving roads, it wasn't their family that contributed the most!"
"Hey, you old devout woman, why did you take a quote out of context?" In Sichuan in this era, culture and education were flourishing, and there was a faint trend of surpassing the Song Dynasty. Not only were there many scholars, but even the traffickers and lackeys spoke with a literary accent.
Wang Laizi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "We just said that Chen Xiucai's family doesn't know how to enjoy. When did we say that they were stingy?"
"Yes, you are the only one who knows how to enjoy it," Mrs. Liu said with a look of disdain: "When I meet your wife in the future, I won't be able to expose your dozen or so pretty maids!"
"Liu Ganniang, I want to hire a pretty maid, how jealous are you?" The vendors nearby yelled, "Look, look, there is indeed adultery!" Mrs. Liu's old face turned red with shame.
"Why is it so lively?" Everyone was laughing when they saw a slender young man wearing a tight raccoon sleeves, his hair tied into a bun on top of his head with a blue silk ribbon embedded with gems, and a pair of primary-colored shoes on his feet.
The calfskin boots look sharp and sharp. Who else is Sanlang Chen if not everyone’s favorite?
He was accompanied by Chen Wulang, who looked like a black tower, and Chen Liulang, who looked like a good-luck boy. The three of them ate cold food and had fun in the street.
Although the Cold Food Festival is a somewhat tragic festival, the people of the Song Dynasty who loved pleasure would not miss any opportunity to eat, drink and have fun. Isn’t it forbidden to use fire on this day? Well, the people of the Song Dynasty prepared cold food porridge in advance
, cold food noodles, cold food pulp, green rice and glutinous rice... People in the Song Dynasty liked to eat sweet food, and 'glutinous rice' is caramel made from malt or grain buds.
In addition to food, we will prepare more than ten kinds of drinks, such as spring wine, new tea, clear spring sweet water... Of course, the three famous wines of the county, 'Qingshen Huangjiao', 'Dry Red', and 'Dry White' are indispensable. These three kinds
Liquor, especially 'Huang Jiao', although it has only been around for two or three years, is already famous in Sichuan and everyone knows about it. Qingshen County, which was unknown, has also become famous.
In the Song Dynasty, because there were many Buddhists and the society advocated vegetarianism, meat was rarely seen on the table on the Cold Food Festival. But the Chen family was an exception. Chen Ke formulated the recipes in accordance with the scientific dietary standards of later generations, especially when he and his brothers were in the same period.
During adolescence, when the body is growing, meat is indispensable for every meal.
Even on such a day when you can't use fire, there are still sliced chicken, squab, pig head meat, smoked venison shank, and even a plate of beef with soy sauce on the table... In this day and age, it is difficult to get beef even if you have money, so you have to rely on
Luck. Because every cow has a household registration with the government, only if the cow's brother unfortunately dies of illness, accidentally falls to death, or dies of old age, someone from the government can be asked to see it, and only after receiving a slaughtering permit can it be cut into pieces.
Because of its rarity, the price of beef is high and it is not affordable for ordinary people. But don’t be too expensive, because people in the Song Dynasty are not short of money, and they will snatch it up no matter how expensive it is. If you go late and have money, you won’t be able to buy it.
However, the Chen family has no shortage of beef. There are so many people who want to please their family. They all know that this family has a hobby of eating meat. If they have any rare meat, they will go up the pole to deliver it to their house... except for those rare meats.
For game, beef is naturally the most honorable.
There were too many people to give away, and the Chen family actually had a choice of beef. They didn't want any of them, including those who died of illness or old age. They only wanted young and healthy cows that died in accidents. They were so arrogant. However, they had the capital of cattle, and others thought they were.
Of course.
And it’s not just about meat. Every aspect of the Chen family’s food, clothing, housing, and transportation has people worrying about it and flattering them. Obviously, this cannot be explained by just having money.
What's more, compared to the nouveau riche in Qingshen County, the Chen family is not very wealthy in terms of food and clothing. But there is no way, who can let the family have a good son?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Giving birth to a son should be like Chen Sanlang!
This is a saying that has been circulating in Qingshen County and even the neighboring counties of Pengshan, Leshan and Meishan in the past two years.
If you have been to Qingshen a few years ago, if you walk around the streets, you will clearly feel that this small town is no longer what it used to be. Even the most careless guy can find that this place is densely populated.
Many Qian Streets, which used to be bustling only when going to the market, are now like going to the market regardless of time. Three hundred and sixty days a year, except for the Chinese New Year and rainy and snowy days, everything is like going to the market.
Naturally, the shops are also much denser. The facades of each shop are as grand as the storefronts in Chengdu. Each shop has eye-catching signboards, guise, and even tall colorful buildings built with colorful silk... Its name is
"Huanmen" was first used by Qin Lou Chu Guan, and later it was also used by ordinary merchants to attract attention.
Looking along the street, you can see countless colorful Huanmen. Under the Huanmen are a flow of people far exceeding the number of residents of the county. These people come from Meishan, Pengshan, Leshan, Chengdu, and even
People come from distant places like Kuizhou, Luzhou, Bazhou and Deyang... some come to make a living, some to purchase goods, and some simply come here to admire the reputation.
Why does the small Qingshen County shine like a magnet, attracting business travelers from all directions? The secret lies in the unparalleled competitiveness of local specialty products.
The name Qingshen was first known to people from far away in the fifth year of Qingli. At that time, a restaurant called Laifu emerged here. The owner of the restaurant actually mastered the stir-fried dishes that only a few famous chefs in Bianjing had.
Miraculous skills. Gourmets and wealthy people from all over come here to enjoy it. They all come back satisfied and come back satisfied. After returning home, they all boast that they have eaten the most delicious food in the world.
Especially in the sixth year of Qingli, Lai Fu Hotel was renovated and renamed Lai Fu House. The decoration service was excellent, the dishes became lighter and more elegant, and the taste became more intoxicating. It attracted countless poets and poets to write poems and ink, and even
Each dish was given an elegant name. It turned this restaurant into a cultural attraction, attracting people from all over Sichuan to come here in droves.
But only a few people can go to the "Laifu Tower", and most people can only visit it outside, and then fantasize about the "flowers, snow, and silkworms", "orioles playing with butterflies", and "maple leaves and red flowers" inside.
'Song Cuiming Pearl', 'Peach Blossom Flowing Water' and the like, how high-end, how pleasing to the eye, how delicious... Then wipe your saliva and go to those hanging 'Sailaifu', 'Xiaolaifu', '
Try the copycat versions of famous dishes in signature restaurants like Dong Fulou'.
What comforts them is that the quality of the dishes in all the restaurants in Qingshen County is above the standard, and they have mastered the cooking techniques. This allows people who cannot enter Laifu Tower to taste the legendary magic skills and go back
Naturally, he boasted a lot and even said that the Sa family can eat stir-fry at Lai Fu Lou!
Over time, the reputation of Qingshen stir-fry became more and more popular. People came here in an endless stream regardless of the four seasons. Qingshen has become another catering center in the Sichuan Basin besides Chengdu.
Where there is good food, there must be good wine. While tasting the food, people discovered a local wine called 'Huangjiao'. It seems to be a kind of orange wine, but this wine looks like red clouds, like amber, and is clear and yellow.
It is bright and fragrant, and drinking it is like pecking at Qiong Yao and swallowing morning dew... It completely breaks people's bad impression of fruit wine being bitter, turbid, and even smelling of decay.
This "Huangjiao Wine" almost satisfied all the people's requirements for wine in the Song Dynasty. It had a delicious orange aroma, was clear and charming, was not easy to get drunk, and had an ambiguous name. Once you taste it, you will never forget it.
Not only do people drink three thousand cups of wine in Qingshen County, but they also buy several altars to take back with them when they leave to share with their families and neighbors.
The reputation of Qingshen Huangjiao spread like wildfire, and businessmen from other places with keen sense of smell came to buy it one after another, and then distributed it to all parts of Sichuan. In just two years, it has become a household name, suitable for both men and women, and it is said to be the best in Sichuan.
There is yellow wine!
This is simply a miracle, because Sichuan is rich in famous wines. Jiannan, Luzhou, Yibin and other places have been the production areas of famous wines since ancient times. Under the joint efforts of Jiannanchun, Yaozi Xuequ, and Luzhou Laojiao, there is almost no room for the survival of the next generation.
.However, Qingshen Huangjiao was able to carve out a niche and become a rising star alongside several famous wines. In addition to meeting all the needs of people in the Song Dynasty for wine, it was also inseparable from the superb marketing methods of its producers.
To put it bluntly, it’s not surprising. Most wine merchants sell blended wines, but Huang Jiao’s manufacturer only sells the original wine, and each company goes back and blends it themselves. This greatly saves transportation costs... If you buy wine from other companies, you need to transport it.
Of the ten barrels, you only need two barrels to buy Huangjiao. This also gives a large piece of profit to the distributors. Since selling Huangjiao is more profitable than selling other wines, wine merchants from all over the country will naturally work hard to encourage them.
, and Huang Jiao’s own quality is there, so it is natural for her to become an instant hit.
