"Wanrong, please move." Li Qingquan was becoming more and more respectful to Chen Wanrong, and he was so polite.

Thinking about the scene when he first met, Li Qingquan didn't take himself seriously at all. He looked over his head. Now he was so polite that it was awkward. Chen Wanrong said a little stiffly: "Old man, you are so polite. I'm not used to it. If you are so polite, I really don't dare to suffer."

Li Qingquan smiled and said, "It's not that I don't respect people, it's that I have to see if they deserve my respect! I admire such capable people as Wanrong from the bottom of my heart. I can't do it without respecting them. Wanrong, please!"

As far as he goes, what else can Chen Wanrong say? He can only let him ask, and walked out shoulder to shoulder with Li Qingquan. Li Qingquan took Chen Wanrong to the right, passed two doors, came to the third door, pushed open the door, and gave in to him: "Wanrong, please come in."

Chen Wanrong complained and stepped in. As soon as he entered the room, Chen Wanrong's eyes lit up, and a fresh fragrance of flowers came to his nose. Looking around, there was an exquisite sandalwood table, a few carved chairs, and a soft sky blue mattress on the chair. The tabletop was covered with a tablecloth embroidered with a pattern of flowers. I couldn't see the style of the tabletop, and I thought it would be fine.

There are some murals painted on the walls, including flowers, birds, insects, fish and figures. The painter is not very good, and it should be written by ordinary craftsmen. There is nothing strange about it. The murals in the Tang Dynasty were very popular. He was not a wealthy businessman, a high-ranking official, and the murals were not high. They were just decorated with a little decoration, which was similar to the decoration of our modern society. If you don’t paint some paintings too monotonous.

The most attractive thing is that there is a painting hanging on the wall, which is a scholar facing a waterfall. The waterfall is wide and high, and a silver-like flying spring pours down in the air, stirring up endless water vapor and majestic. Chen Wanrong seemed to hear the rumbling roar, and couldn't help but praise it.

Chen Wanrong is not an antique collector and has not studied calligraphy and painting much, but modern information is well developed. He has seen many photos of artworks online. After seeing it for a lot, his eyesight will increase. Although he has not reached the level of a collector, he can still distinguish it. The lines of this painting are smooth, delicate, and moderate in color, especially the surging shape of the waterfall, which makes Chen Wanrong very impressed.

"Wanrong praises this painting, right?" Li Qingquan stepped in, took the door, pointed to the painting on the wall and introduced it: "This is Mr. Zheng's handwriting."

Chen Wanrong, the name of Mr. Zheng, heard it again and again. Seeing that he was so skilled in painting, he thought that this person was full of knowledge but came to business. He must be a "Confucian businessman". When he browsed the painting, he saw that the signature was "Zheng Jianqiu". It turned out that Mr. Zheng, who was named Zheng Jianqiu in Li Qingquan's mouth.

Li Qingquan roared: "Brother Kong, send it here."

An old voice came from next door and replied: "Come on!"

After a while, a old Cangtou, who had gorgeous hair on his temples, came over with a food box. The food box was carved with a bird pattern, which was very exquisite in workmanship and beautiful in appearance. Old Cangtou also carried a white porcelain wine pot in his right hand.

Lao Cangto put down the food box and was about to put it on. Li Qingquan waved his hand and said, "Brother Kong, I won't bother you anymore, I'll do it myself."

Kong Bo responded and bowed to Li Qingquan and said, "Boss, then I'll take my leave. Mr. Chen, please use it slowly." The last sentence was about Chen Wanrong, and he left after he said that.

This is the first time Chen Wanrong called someone a young master. It sounds awkward. He thought to himself that he was wearing clothes full of patches. What kind of thing is like a young master? He replied politely: "Thank you Mr. Kong."

Kong Bo retreated and closed the door. Li Qingquan lifted the lid, took out the food from the food box and placed it on the table. The food box is quite ok, with as many as ten dishes and cups at once.

Li Qingquan took a food box by the wall, put it on the table, patted it on the food box, and said proudly: "Wanrong, guess what kind of good taste is here?"

Chen Wanrong saw that the food box was made of bamboo strips, but the bamboo strips were handed by skilled craftsmen. The width, narrowness, thickness and thickness were about the same, and they were particularly exquisite. The smooth and beautiful lines formed a painting with good taste. The characters in the painting dined around the table, cups and cups, which were so comfortable, with different expressions and lifelike.

Just looking at this food box, you can tell that the food inside must be delicious. However, Chen Wanrong didn’t know much about the details of the life of the Tang Dynasty, and he didn’t know what kind of delicious food it was. It really stumped Li Qingquan.

Seeing Chen Wanrong stumped, Li Qingquan was a little proud, raised his eyebrows and said, "Wanrong, look carefully." He lifted the lid of the food box, reached into the food box with both hands and took out a pack of things from it, and placed it carefully on the table.

The thing is very exquisitely packaged, wrapped in a piece of bright and dazzling silk. A knot is tied on it and a beautiful cloth flower embellished on it, making the already fancy and novel packaging more colorful.

The lower end of the package is a round thing, like a porcelain dish, and it makes a slight sound when it hits the table.

Just looking at the food box is amazing. When Chen Wanrong saw such complicated packaging inside, he kept sighing in his heart that our ancestors had so many ideas.

Li Qingquan skillfully untied the knot, and the silk slipped down, revealing the oil paper inside. The oil paper was piled with crystal ice cubes, and the white air conditioning was emitting. Li Qingquan shook the ice on the silk and then tore the oil paper open. A mixed with the aroma of meat and the fragrance of flowers came into his nose, which was very tempting, and Chen Wanrong couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

A white porcelain plate was filled with a plate of flowers, and the round perilla leaves were neatly piled with flowers, white, yellow and blue. There were also neatly placed ginger slices and shredded radish in the middle of the flowers, with uniform size and length, and great skill in knife skills. Chen Wanrong is a good kitchen expert, and he has to admire his skill in knife skills.

"This is Songjiang sea bass sashimi. I sent someone to the county town this morning to buy it." Li Qingquan explained to Chen Wanrong, who was surprised.

Songjiang is in Shanghai now, and Ning County is near Xi'an now. The two places are two or three thousand miles apart. What kind of efficiency is required to ensure quality? You should know that sea bass belongs to the fresh category, and if it dies, it will lose its flavor. Li Qingquan treats guests with this, so it must be delicious, otherwise who will buy it?

Our ancestors had such skills. Chen Wanrong was surprised and stuck out his tongue in secret.

"Wanrong remembers this kind of affection for the old man." A meal is nothing, but the sea bass sashimi is transported from more than 2,000 miles away. It is so precious. Li Qingquan is so concerned about him that anyone will be moved, and he cannot blame Chen Wanrong.

Li Qingquan enjoyed this very much, smiled and said, "Wanrong, don't take it seriously. The idea you gave me is hard to buy. What is the calculation of asking you to have a drink? This sea bass sashimi was not prepared in Songjiang, but was transported to Chang'an. Someone bought it and cut it and sold it. It tasted very delicious." Chen Wanrong looked surprised. He was a worldly-skilled person. He guessed Chen Wanrong's thoughts and explained it very specially.

Compared to transporting from Songjiang, this method can keep the quality and fresher, Chen Wanrong has to admire the meticulous thoughts of our ancestors.

The name "Songjiang Perch Beauty" is very popular. Chen Wanrong thought about it and understood why he could eat perch produced in the Jiangnan region in Guanzhong. That was because the Tang Dynasty not only had highly developed commerce, but also had convenient transportation. Although Guanzhong and Jiangnan were two or three thousand miles away, it would take only two or three days to arrive.

Even so, Tangren's high efficiency is still surprising and amazing!

"In order to ensure the flavor, you have to use the dragon head to calm down." Li Qingquan picked up a piece of ice and put it in front of him and said, "This dragon head is crystal clear and very beautiful."

Longnao? Chen Wanrong was stunned at first, and then saw the ice in Li Qingquan's hand. Then he realized that the Tang people called the ice cube Longnao. In the eyes of modern people, ice cubes and dragonnao are two things that are not related to each other, but the Tang people could connect the two. If Chen Wanrong hadn't heard it with his own ears, he wouldn't believe that the Tang people had such rich imagination.

Li Qingquan took out a small fine porcelain plate from the food box like a magic trick and placed it on the table. Then he took out a three-inch-high urn. The glaze was shining, brightly colored, and very beautiful. Tap it twice on the urn, and Li Qingquan then introduced to Chen Wanrong: "There are seasonings in it."

Pull out the plug and aim the mouth of the jar at the fine porcelain plate. A golden viscous seasoning slowly poured into the porcelain plate. The fragrant fragrance scented in the nose, giving the good taste. There was also a familiar smell of chopped green onions in the fragrance. Chen Wanrong looked carefully and saw that there were many chopped green onions in the seasoning, both of which were evenly sized and length. What's more rare is that the chopped green onions were not deformed, but still cylindrical, so fresh that it seemed to have just been cut out.

"Sit down!" Li Qingquan placed the sea bass sashimi in the middle and invited Chen Wanrong to sit down. He placed an exquisite wine glass in front of Chen Wanrong. He picked up the wine pot and sifted the wine into the glass. The pink wine grout was poured into the wine glass. A familiar aroma of wine jumped into the nose tube. It was originally wine.

Chen Wanrong, who had a strong observation ability, saw the wine slurry slowly flowing down the wall of the cup, and the speed was quite slow, and knew that it was a top-notch wine. When Li Qingquan sifted the wine, Chen Wanrong slightly sided the wine glass, and there was an amber-colored water-shaped body at the junction of the wine and the cup wall. He smiled and said, "Old man, this is a good wine for ten years. I wonder what I said is right?"

Li Qingquan put the wine pot in his hand heavily and asked in a lost voice: "Wanrong, how do you know?"

It was obvious that this was too unexpected to him. Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "I can see if the wine is good or not. You can tell at a glance that there are three ways to see it." He knew that he would continue to ask, but Chen Wanrong would not allow him to ask and explained: "Looking from above, if the wine is clear, it means that this is a good wine. If it is turbid and unclear, it will be impure. The second method is to look at the speed of the wine flowing down the wall of the cup. If the speed is too fast, it means that the wine is not good. If it flows down slowly, it is a good wine. The third method is to tilt the wine glass and see that there is a water-like body at the junction of the wine glass and the cup wall. If it is blue, it will only be three or five years. If it is red for only five or six years, it will be a good wine for more than ten years."

Wine was introduced from Gaochang State to the Tang Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang. It is said that Emperor Taizong of Tang personally supervised the brewing of wine, and after it was brewed, it was distributed to the ministers to drink. Wine was widely loved by the Tang people because of its delicious taste, but it has only been introduced for decades. The Tang people's research on wine was not in-depth enough. Famous quotes such as "Grape Wine Luminous Cup" could not be written until later.

Furthermore, Li Qingquan, a rich man from the country, did not know these ways to read wine? He was surprised by this and turned his glass to the side. If Chen Wanrong said that there was an amber water-shaped body at the junction of the wine grout and the glass wall, he was impressed by Chen Wanrong and said at the top of his throat: "Wanrong, Wanrong, you have taught me another skill! Mr. Zheng is just like this aged wine, but he does not have the ability to read wine like Wanrong. It's so high, really high!"

In the world where Chen Wanrong came, there were a wide variety of wines, and Chen Wanrong was not addicted to alcohol. He liked to drink a few drinks. He found some information and learned some wine tasting skills to make his love. Unexpectedly, he admired this way and said with a smile: "Old man, a little trick is not worth mentioning."

Li Qingquan tapped on the table with his right hand and said, "Little skills are also knowledge, it is knowledge!" He picked up the wine glass, asked for it, and took a sip. The taste of the wine itself was very beautiful. With Chen Wanrong's clever words and wine, the taste was even longer, so beautiful that it was too smacking his tongue.

I picked up the chopsticks and gently plucked the flowers on the perilla leaves to the side, revealing the sea bass sashimi below. I saw that they were arranged neatly and evenly, and they did not change color due to slaughtering for a period of time, but were still as fresh as ever. It was amazing that the Tang Dynasty had no auxiliary means such as refrigerators, freezers, and fresh preservatives, which could be kept so intact. Chen Wanrong admired the wisdom of our ancestors from the bottom of his heart.

"This sea bass sashimi is made of green onions and mustard in summer, and the taste is better." Li Qingquan picked up a piece of sea bass sashimi, looked at it briefly, and praised: "This knife is really powerful. It is as thin as a piece of paper, but there is no damage at all. When you move gently, it is like a piece of paper in the wind, and there will be beautiful waves."

While saying that, he shook gently, and the meat slices immediately appeared wavy, which looked beautiful. Li Qingquan continued: "If you know ventriloquism, you can use it as a musical instrument. The sound of the music you blow is fresh and pleasant, which is no different from what the musical instruments are emitted. Mr. Zheng will have this skill, but I haven't learned it."

The sashimi from the Tang Dynasty are our current meat slices. The sashimi is also sashimi. Its production technology is surprising, especially the skill of the knife is even more amazing. The cut sashimi can be used as a musical instrument. This is not a bragging thing, but it is recorded in history that "can be blown up lightly, and the knife is quick and sound, as if it is in line with the talisman".

Although this meal has only been carried out until now, Chen Wanrong has witnessed the great wisdom of our ancestors again and again. Food is both exquisite and skillful, and it is full of extraordinary wisdom everywhere.
