Not everyone is a drinker, but no one can ignore good food.
Are you addicted to alcohol? But in fact, people are more addicted to food. Of course, not everyone is like this. There are exceptions to everything, and some people can survive on a few peanuts for a whole night.
The magistrate of Tongzhou, but the state government office on Wu Zun Road seems a bit out of place. It's not that the government office is too broken. Although there are reasons why officials don't build government offices, for the officials of the Song Dynasty who enjoy life, any official position above the county magistrate is more or less
I will also repair the Yamen. After all, my family lives in the back Yamen.
Back then, Ye An, who was not short of money, built a large garden-style back office in Liangzhou City. Not only did it bring the southern landscapes, flowers and birds to the northwest, it also incorporated the boldness and freehand brushwork of the north.
A government office is comparable to the big houses in Tokyo, or even worse. Ye An's Tiju office is a combination of military and government. The defense of the government office is equipped with a commander of five hundred people. Once the police arrive,
, when the fireworks horn is sent out, two command reinforcements can be immediately dispatched from the military camp.
In comparison, Wu Zunlu's back office was pretty well kept, but it was far from as exquisite as those in other government offices. Sitting in a small pavilion that was considered a flower hall, people had wine and food on the table and feasted on it.
Stir-fried clams are obviously more popular than clams boiled in sake. The strong and stimulating taste of chili peppers made Fan Zhongyan and Wu Zunlu unable to stop. While sucking in the air-conditioning, they dipped the clams in the soup and put them in their mouths.
The two of them ate without caring, fearing that the sky would fall and they would not take another look. However, Fan Zhongyan's old servant slowly walked over, holding a package in his hand.
"It's so refreshing! This clam is really addictive! What's wrong with Fu Sheng? Oh? Is this a letter from Tokyo City?"
The old servant Fusheng said with a smile: "The master is right! These are letters from Tokyo City. They are from our family and Yehou's house. They are all sent through the post, so the old servant collected them together."
It must be said that the official postal system of the Song Dynasty is quite complete. It only took more than ten days for Ye An to receive a letter from Tokyo. This was considered fast. After all, it was not a rush delivery but an ordinary delivery.
Delivery by courier, foot delivery and horse delivery were used together. If it were not for the reputation of the two in the court, it would have taken at least five days to arrive.
He was living in Jianghuai and had a family letter worth ten thousand dollars. The wife of the old Fan family sent him a letter and at the same time, she also sent her children’s homework. Just when Ye An was slightly jealous, he saw Mu Mu’s letter to him and felt nothing at all.
Already.
A completely transparent crystal was taken out from the box with fire paint. Fan Zhongyan and Wu Zunlu both stopped what they were doing, while Fusheng's eyes were dull.
Crystal looks like a galloping horse, with a strong body and powerful limbs. What's even more surprising is that the mane on the horse's neck is carved lifelike, as if blown by the wind, looking cool and handsome.
Ye An casually placed the crystal sculpture on the table and couldn't wait to read the letter. As expected, Qin Mumu said in the letter that Puhui Company's glaze workshop could produce glass with excellent transparency.
This is the height that Ye An has always wanted but found it difficult to create. Unexpectedly, it was conquered by ancient craftsmen.
Glass has many functions. Whether it is glassware, glass ornaments, or glass lenses, it can bring a completely different impact to the science, technology, art and culture of this era.
Not to mention anything else, just selling prescription lenses can bring huge income to the store. The most indispensable thing in Tokyo is rich people, and most of the rich people are scholars.
How many eyes in China are myopic?
The purity of these glasses is much higher than that of crystal or mica. The ancients also had glasses similar to glasses to help people see things clearly, but most of them were reading glasses, which were far inferior to prescription myopia glasses.
However, with the availability of something as pure and easy to polish as glass, Puhui Company was able to produce real glasses for myopia.
For a short-sighted person, being able to see things in the distance clearly has an irresistible magic power for them. If a highly myopic person in future generations lives without his glasses for a day, the uncomfortable feeling will be enough to drive him crazy.
Of course, glasses should also be high-end. After all, glass was an absolute rarity in the Song Dynasty. Especially after Puhui Company mastered the technology of firing pure-color glass, this kind of glass that can change shapes at will when exposed to heat is simply awesome.
It is a tool for making money easily.
However, you can't just make money from the wealthy people of the Song Dynasty. The main sales market for glass is still the Liao Dynasty in the north and the Western countries. Ye An won't have any psychological burden on making money from these people.
There is also a painting drawn by Qin Mumu in the letter, which depicts his daughter "Little Nuomi" in an almost cartoon style. The girl is getting fatter and looks like a little glutinous rice dumpling.
Of course, Qin Mumu herself, Xuan'er and Xiao Nuomi's younger brother and sister are also indispensable in the painting.
The younger brother was born to Qin Mumu, and the official gave him the name "Ye Lin" in person. The meaning is very simple, he is the Qilin son of the Ye family! As for the younger sister, he was named "Ye Mei" by Li Zunxu, with picturesque features.
eyebrows...
As the elder sister, Xiao Nuomi was naturally given the name "Ye Ling" by Zhao Zhen. The name "Ye Ling" means the girl's agility, and it also gave her, the daughter of the Ye family, a very special honor and the ability to travel through the forbidden areas.
This right is even difficult for Ye An to achieve even with the Black Imperial Fish Talisman on his body. After all, there are some forbidden places that he can go to, and some places that are also taboo for him.
Xuan'er has had a daughter for so many years. For her, it is enough to have a daughter with Ye An. If it is a son, she still has to worry about his future. After all, Qin Mumu also gave birth to a son...
Now that she has a daughter, she doesn't have to worry. Xuan'er believes that the eldest lady will marry her daughter off decently.
Seeing his family drawn with cartoon-like brushwork, Ye An felt a sense of happiness in his heart. Thinking about the ridiculous things he had done with Fang Linyue in the cave before, he suddenly felt guilty.
Although I didn’t do it intentionally, why can’t I control my lower body?! After all, it was because I didn’t plan carefully enough at the beginning, and I didn’t think carefully enough when I reformed the new tea tea law. If I buy it rashly, if I pay attention to the tea.
With the protection of the household representative, Fang Linyue may not be harmed...
Until now, whenever Ye An closes his eyes every day and every night, he can recall the next words Fang Xiaoxian said in front of him, and he can recall the extremely trusting eyes he looked at him.
So after a brief surprise, the gorgeous horse in front of him no longer aroused any interest, especially after seeing the end of the letter, where Qin Mumu added a paragraph to spell out something, Ye An was even more excited
He threw the horse to the ground casually.
For a moment, the transparent horse fell to pieces when it came into contact with the ground. The crystal clear glass particles were scattered on the ground into large and small pieces like stars in the sky, reflecting the dazzling sunlight.
Fan Zhongyan was shocked and said: "Why is this immortality possible?"
Wu Zunlu beside him sighed and said: "To drop such a treasure to the ground, you are really a waste of money!"
Ye An just smiled and said: "It's nothing more than a decoration, and its meaning to me is nothing more than a message from my wife."
He will not tell Lao Fan and Lao Wu that the pinyin of the last part of Qin Mumu is just one sentence: "It will break after reading it, the price is not in it!"
What he really meant was to tell Ye An that they have been able to mass-produce this thing. The glass horse is just a testimony. The value of this letter far exceeds this exquisite glass work of art.
