Chapter 239 Medicine Spring(1/2)
Today is the 29th. I will vote for the monthly vote at the end of the month. I will continue to add more and ask for monthly votes.
Liu Xu smiled even sweeter: "I know the craftsman, but later I want to take a closer look at your achievements as a craftsman. Where are we going? How far is it?"
"Not far away, there is a fish restaurant in front that I heard is very good. Let's go eat fish." Han Kongque said. He remembered that Liuxu likes to eat fish maw. Of course, the fish maw here is not fish maw, but real fish maw.
.
However, it is good to eat fish maw. Fish maw is what people call fish maw nowadays. The swim bladder is taken out from the belly of the fish. It is the sinking and floating organ of the fish. It is cut open and dried in the sun. Generally, there are sturgeon maw and salamander maw.
It is one of the four seafood delicacies and was listed as one of the "Eight Delicacies" in modern times.
Fish maw is a good thing. After being cut and dried, it is rich in protein, colloid, etc. It nourishes yin and nourishes the kidneys. It nourishes yin with dietary therapy, strengthens the kidneys and cultivates essence, and can quickly relieve fatigue.
However, this thing is troublesome to sit up, so it is more cost-effective to go to a restaurant to eat it.
It takes more than four hours to stew chicken soup with the already fermented fish maw. Most people really don't have this kind of patience.
"Welcome." Someone greeted them as soon as they walked into this small shop.
The two people walked inside and found that there was a whole other world inside. In addition to the upstairs, there was actually a large courtyard behind the fish house. The sky above the courtyard was enclosed, forming a place similar to a restaurant.
"We want a private room." Han Kongque saw how noisy there were people outside and immediately decided to be alone with Liuxu.
Han Kongque ordered a chicken soup with peppercorns and a boiled fish. He ordered these two dishes. Liuxu didn't drink alcohol, so Han Kongque didn't ask for wine. He just ordered two bottles of juice to drink as water.
The dishes will have to wait for a while. Han Kongque opened the juice and planned to pour a glass for Liuxu, but Liuxu refused: "No need to waste it, I won't drink this."
"What? I didn't notice that you are picky about food?" Han Kongque said.
Liu Xu said: "This thing has too many preservatives. Also, the materials used are not good. If it is not necessary, it is better to drink less."
"How do you know?" Han Peacock was a little surprised.
Liu Xu said: "I worked a summer job in a fruit canning factory during college. Just like this peach juice, the best peaches are cut into pieces. The whole ones are large and canned. The bruised ones cannot be taken out.
The pulp of the fruit can only be chopped into pieces to make assortments, and even the part that cannot be used to make assortments will not be wasted, and it will all be used to make juice."
"Isn't it really like what I heard about using rotten peaches to make juice?" Han Peacock asked.
Liuxu said: "The bruised and rotten ones are all materials for making juice, so..." Liuxu looked at Han Peacock mischievously and said.
"Then let's have tea." Han Kongque called the waiters and asked them to serve a pot of better black tea.
"Hey! This tea tray is so special." Liu Xu looked at the tea bowl brought by the waiter, and the saucer underneath was actually shaped like a ship.
"This is called a tea boat. It is also a saucer, but not a tea tray. This kind of thing was often used in the Ming Dynasty, but it is not common now." Han Kongque was also attracted by the boat-shaped blue and white tea boat.
"Tea boat" is also known as "sauce" or "cup holder", also known as tea holder and tea holder.
Its purpose was to hold the tea cup to prevent scalding hands. Later, because of its shape like a boat, it was named tea boat or tea boat.
Ji Yuansou's "Tao Ya" in the Qing Dynasty mentioned: "The cup support is called a tea boat. It is made like a boat in the Ming Dynasty. The small wine cup in Kangyong and Yong Dynasties is round and not empty. In the Song kiln, it is in the air. A little bit today
It’s very simple and simple.”
It can be seen that the boat-shaped saucer appeared in the Ming Dynasty. In the huge family of tea sets, although the tea boat is in a subordinate position, it is indispensable.
"Tea tray and saucer are not the same thing?" Liu Xu asked curiously.
Han Kongque picked up a tea boat and looked at it carefully. While he was reading, he didn't forget to answer Liu Catkin's question: "The shape of the tea boat is plate-shaped or bowl-shaped. The teapot is placed in it. When the hot water is filled, the kettle is heated.
It is used both as a cup and as a pot.
The tea tray is used to hold the teapot and the cup. Nowadays, the tea tray that combines the two is commonly used, that is, the tea tray with holes is placed on the tea boat. This kind of tea tray is produced because the brewing process of oolong tea is more complicated. From the beginning
A cup-scalding hot pot, and later a hot-water shower pot for each brew, and a double-layered tea boat, which can allow water to flow to the lower layer without staining the countertop."
"How's it going? Is this a tea boat from the Ming Dynasty?" Seeing Han Peacock looking at it so seriously, Liu Xu asked.
Han Peacock said amusingly: "How is it possible? If we can encounter the real thing here, how can we do it?"
There must be a lot of these things in the hotel. If the two items here are genuine, it means there must be more in this store.
"How do you identify whether it is genuine?" Liu Xu asked curiously.
Han Kongque said: "The easiest way is to look at the appearance. Do you think this tea boat is brand new? It seems to be shrouded in a layer of precious light. It looks very beautiful. This is called a thief's light in the industry. It only doesn't last long after being fired."
Only on the porcelain of time."
"It looks quite new. Could it be that all porcelain like this is made in modern times?" Liuxu held the tea boat and looked carefully.
Han Kongque said: "This is not necessarily true. Due to the thick glaze on some porcelain, this kind of precious light can still be seen even after a long time. I have two green-glazed three-legged incense burners in my hand. I will take them out for you to see when I have time.
Look, it’s a fine product from the Yaozhou Kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty. It’s thousands of years old and it still looks as new as ever.”
"I didn't expect that I was blind and met a dead mouse, and I accidentally caught a rich man like you." Liu Xu said with a smile.
"What are you talking about? You are not a blind cat, and I am not a dead mouse. We are destined. Who would have thought that a blind date could be the wrong one?" Han Kongque said.
The two of them were eating and talking, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious. They didn't talk about me or me, they just talked about some people and things around them, including injustices, bitterness, and interesting news.
Before she knew it, Liuxu ate a lot, at least she drank a lot of the fish maw and chicken soup: "I can't do it anymore, I ate too much today."
Liuxu ate a bowl of rice and all the belly of the boiled fish. Of course, she also drank the chicken soup.
"The food here tastes really good. It is truly a century-old restaurant. Although there are not many varieties, every dish is considered a masterpiece." Han Kongque praised.
"I have to go to work, what are you going to do in the afternoon?" Liu Xu asked.
"Afternoon? I'll pick you up for dinner in the afternoon," Han Kongque said.
Liuxu shook her head and said: "Forget it. You better not come. I have to be on duty at night and I usually don't have time to come out in the afternoon."
"I'm on night shift today, so why don't I go to work tomorrow?" Han Kongque asked.
Liu Xu said: "It depends on the situation. If something happens, you have to go to work. If there is no accident, I won't go to work tomorrow."
"Tomorrow morning, I will pick you up." Han Peacock said.
Liu Xu said: "I won't sleep after get off work tomorrow?"
Han Kongque said aggrievedly: "I didn't say I wouldn't let you sleep? Can't I pick you up and take you home?"
"Okay, you are really a bitch." Liuxu said in a funny tone.
Han Kongque said: "That is such a beautiful wife. I must keep an eye on her. There are so many bees and butterflies in your hospital staring at you!"
"Okay, if you were attracted by them, I wouldn't know you." LiuXu stood up.
Han Kongque went out to pay the bill. When he came out, Liu Xu sat in Han Kongque's BMW. She hugged Han Kongque's waist and started laughing.
"Why are you laughing?" Han Peacock asked.
Liu Xu said: "I was laughing while sitting on the back of a bicycle, but I didn't see it!"
"Most people are willing to sit in a BMW and cry! Why are you so special?" Han Kongque said.
Liu Xu said: "It can only be said that I have a good vision and have caught a potential stock like you. Now I want to make a BMW and make a BMW. If I have done enough, I can make a BMW and make a bicycle, okay?"
"Take a BMW? If you sell that Raptor, you can really exchange it for a BMW. That's not bad. The Raptor can't be driven in the city." Han Kongque said with a smile.
"You can pull it! Hurry up, I'm going to be late." The two people laughed and quickly returned to the hospital.
"Wait a minute, look what I brought you." Just when Liuxu was about to leave, Han Kongque thought of some jade Buddhas he had just carved.
Men wear Guanyin, women wear Buddha, and those friends with catkins must all be women, so Han Peacock simply carved all the jade Buddha, Maitreya, Buddha, and Arhat, all of them.
"Ah! So beautiful." Liu Xu looked at the sculpture in his hand in surprise.
Han Kongque looked at the statue of an Arhat held in Liu Xu's hand. His skinny appearance could not be compared with his good-looking son, but he was not that stupid. He raised objections.
"This is a piece of black jade carving of Arhat subduing the dragon. It is most suitable to give these to your friends." Han Kongque said.
"Well, what's the market price of this outside?" Liu Xu asked.
Han Kongque said: "It should be able to sell for two to three thousand yuan, right? I don't know the details."
"So expensive? What about the bracelet? It's made of this kind of material." Liuxu said in surprise.
Han Kongque said: "The bracelet costs 40,000 to 50,000 yuan."
"Why is it so expensive? Didn't you say it's very cheap?" Liuxu asked strangely.
Han Kongque said: "The raw material is very cheap. If it is processed, the price will increase. If it enters the market, it will naturally be more expensive. Just tell your colleagues and friends that we make this kind of thing ourselves and it is not expensive. In this way
They will be happy to accept it."
Liu Xu is still a little reluctant. It’s not that she is reluctant to give her friends things that are too expensive, but it’s not good to give things that are too expensive. Many of their colleagues will give them something when they go out, and the price is not very expensive. This is just
A friendship, if the price is too high, it will be hard to say.
"How much does this cost?" LiuXu asked.
Han Kongque said: "It won't exceed one thousand, just say you bought it for eight hundred."
After sending back the catkins that were a little tangled, Han Kongque didn't want to go home and went directly to the company.
At this time, the company was already very lively, but the sequelae were also very obvious. Almost everyone's desk was very messy, with walnut shells everywhere.
Their working hours are relatively late, until two o'clock, so it is not working time at this time, so when the employees saw Han Kongque coming in, they didn't panic and just continued to do whatever they were doing now.
Most of them are eating walnuts. Of course, there are also many eating instant noodles and drinking coffee.
"You guys have this for lunch?" Han Kongque looked at He Xiangshan and asked.
