Seeing Bai Zirui swallowing his saliva, Di Ruilong sneered in his heart. This was the effect he wanted. Bai Zirui is from the mainland. Although his family is rich and they eat a lot of good food, Di Ruilong believes that the deep-sea volcanic vine
He has definitely never eaten the pot, otherwise he wouldn't have reacted like he did just now, so in just a few words, Bai Zi
Rui's saliva teased out, avenging the bad breath of being laughed at just now. It must be said that Di Ruilong was somewhat damaged. There were nine volcanic barnacles in total, and including himself, there were seventeen people in total.
In addition, there are two sisters-in-law sleeping in the room. Who can eat nine barnacles?
Some people can't eat it and can only look at it with greed.
"Ahem, although deep-sea volcanic barnacles are delicious and rare, we gentlemen can't compete with ladies, right?
My sister Jiaqi is here, as well as my two sisters-in-law, there are three ladies in total. I suggest that each lady should get three, and you all should stop thinking about it.
By the way, I'm warning you Bai Zirui, if you are a man, don't ask Sister Jiaqi for food, and when the time comes, don't say that your brothers look down on you."
The corner of Bai Zirui's mouth twitched, and his face turned pale with anger. He couldn't even complain. This feeling was so uncomfortable. Kong Jiaqi was very satisfied with Di Ruilong's distribution plan. She covered her mouth and snickered to the side. The others
Although they wanted to try it, Di Ruilong had already said it before, so they were too embarrassed to talk nonsense. Lu Fei didn't care, he knew Di Ruilong too well.
What kind of virtue is Ruilong? This product is definitely intentional. If you want to taste it, just tell him and he will guarantee to get the freshest one. There is no rush.
"Okay, you can discuss it among yourselves. I'm going to open the box now."
Di Ruilong glanced at Kong Jiaqi and ran away with the barnacles in his arms. Kong Jiaqi also squatted beside Lu Fei.
"Brother, what should I do?"
Lu Fei pinched a slat and with a little force, the slat broke. It was obviously in bad shape.
"That's it, just break it into pieces." As he said that, Lu Fei moved his hands together and removed the outer packaging on the top of the box in a few strokes, revealing the camphor wood box inside. Lu Fei stretched out his fingers and tapped it gently.
After two clicks, there was a trace of metallic echo in the hollow.
, Lu Fei smiled.
"I was also puzzled. Camphor wood is not much denser than pine wood. The pine board is rotten like this, but the camphor wood box is actually in good condition. It turns out to be Erjiazi!"
Kong Jiaqi became even more excited when she heard this: "Brother, are you sure it's Erjiazi?"
Lu Fei nodded: "It shouldn't be wrong."
The conversation between these two people made other people look bored.
"What does Erjiazi mean?"
"I have heard that wild ginseng is called Erjiazi. Do wooden boxes also have this name?" Kong Jiaqi smiled and said: "Erjiazi refers to a configuration of wooden boxes in the past. In the past, there were no plastic boxes, fiberglass boxes, or alloy boxes.
Various boxes, etc., because iron is relatively scarce and easy to rust, in the past
, there are almost no iron boxes. Except for the extremely luxurious gold and silver boxes, the most common ones that can be seen are wooden boxes.
Moreover, because of different uses, the materials used to make the boxes are also very different. For example, for storing valuables, the capable ones will choose hardwood boxes, because hardwood is not easy to rot and has a longer shelf life.
For another example, to store clothes, camphor wood or paulownia wood are generally used. These two types of wood are insect-proof. In addition to the commonly used wood, there are also some more special uses, which will add extra configurations to the box, such as storing fragile items.
Or items that are easily deformed. When transporting, people are worried about bumpy roads, so people think of a way to add a layer of copper sheet to the inside of the box for protection, and use the entire copper sheet to attach it to the inside of the box, just like the current windshield.
, even if the box is hit and the wooden box is broken, there is a layer of copper inside.
, and they won’t all be shattered at once, so try to avoid damaging the items inside. Of course, it will be in vain if the impact is too severe.”
Bai Zirui raised his eyebrows and asked: "There is such a box, so why have I never heard of it before?" "You are not from this industry, so it is normal that you have not heard of it. After all, Erjiazi boxes are still
It is very rare. In the past, copper was a very rare precious metal, and it was monopolized by the government. The common people had no access to it. It was too luxurious, and even the government rarely used it. Ordinary erjiazi would only be used to transport valuables over long distances.
You can only use items when you need them. Let alone you, I have only seen them once in my life, and they were still damaged." Kong
Jiaqi said.
Everyone nodded: "No wonder you haven't heard of it. If you say this, as long as this kind of box is used, it must contain valuable items. Doesn't that mean that there must be a big treasure in our box?
Lu Fei shook his head: "That's not necessarily the case. In the early days, the scarcity of Erjiazi was mainly controlled by the government and invisible to the public. By the late Qing Dynasty, corruption was rampant everywhere, and even the important treasures in the palace were stolen and sold off one after another.
, but it was just a wooden box wrapped in copper, and no one cared about it. Therefore, in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, Erjiazi was circulated in the market everywhere, but at least it could be seen often, and it was not that rare.
