Super System in Chutang

In the Tang Dynasty, people called the first day of the New Year "Yuan Day".

Before the morning light rose, Li Xingzhi helped Xiaodan prepare new clothes. In later generations, there was also a saying of wearing new clothes during the New Year, but in many cases in cities, there is no longer so much emphasis.

In the Tang Dynasty, this "new clothes" was much more particular.

Li Xingzhi also followed the local customs - starting from the inside, he first wore a close-fitting silk underwear, and on the outside was a white fox fur top and bottom, with the fur side facing out.

It’s not over yet. It would be unruly to wear it out like this. It’s a fluffy ball. If you don’t see it clearly, you might think it’s some savage! Therefore, you need to add a brightly colored silk coat to the outside.

, it was called "裼" in the Tang Dynasty. If you wear it like this, you will definitely look like a rich young man!

The little girl from the Cui family over there has also put on beautiful clothes, her face is flushed, and she is quite cute. A young lady with red lips and white teeth, and a cute little girl named Xueyu, the two of them stand together, and they are truly beautiful.

The golden boy! Seeing this, Mrs. Cui nodded her head in admiration!

Little Dog Dan was dressed warmly and walked out happily with the Cui family's young lady. At this time, it was already dawn and only two children had just woken up. Little Dog Dan walked to the door of the temple.

The fire in front had long been extinguished, and even the remaining ash had been swept away by the wind. Li Xingzhi pasted Spring Festival couplets on both sides of the temple door——

First couplet: Five blessings eliminate three disasters

Second line: Eternal burial and hundreds of disasters

Li Xingzhi's whole couplet was written in block letters. Although the writing was not very pretty, it still had the style of a family in an era when Yan Zhenqing was not even born!

Those who don’t have a deep understanding of calligraphy will feel that this calligraphy is really not very good, and it feels quite unfamiliar when turning around. However, in the eyes of someone like Cui Zhiwen who loves calligraphy and has achieved some accomplishments, he can see the atmosphere of a family.

Feng Gu! He couldn’t help but shout “Okay!”

Little Dog Dan and the little girl looked at the Spring Festival couplets and were quite curious. There was no door god at this time, and Qin Qiong was still alive and well. There were two red peach charms hanging on both sides of the temple door, one with the words "Shen Tu"

", one piece says "Yulei", which is said to have the effect of suppressing evil spirits. Except for the couplets, everything else was done by Li Xingzhi after deliberately asking Wang Xiucai.

On the morning of the first day of the lunar month, after all the necessary things for the occasion were done, they bowed to each other, entered the temple gate, lit up a fire, and started eating again.

The special drinks on Yuan Day mainly include "Tusu wine" and "Jiaobai wine". "Tusu" is a medicine made from various medicinal materials such as asarum and dried ginger. People soak this medicine in wells. On this day,

He would fetch water and drink it; he would also use this medicine to soak it in medicinal wine and drink it.

As for "Jiaobai wine", just by its name, you can tell that it is wine soaked in Sichuan peppercorns and cypress leaves. It is said that drinking these two kinds of wine can drive away poison and evil spirits, and prolong life. Of course, the Zhang family did not prepare these things.

, Li Xingzhi doesn’t have it either, but it is available in the system store!

When the wine was served, Little Dog Dan and the little girl from the Cui family drank first, and then Li Xingzhi picked up the wine glass, smelled the spicy and weird smell, frowned, and drank it in one gulp.

There is a rule for drinking this wine. Children should drink it first. The saying goes: "The younger ones get older, drink first to celebrate them; the older ones lose their years, so drink later." This saying means: Children who are one year old should drink wine to celebrate.

;The older person is another year older, so he drinks.

Then, another servant of the Cui family brought up the "Five Xin Plate" that Li Xingzhi had prepared.

What is the "Five Spicy Plate"? I saw that on the large delicate milky white porcelain plate, there were garlic, small garlic, leeks, coriander, and coriander. The white, white and green colors were reflected in the plate. It was really beautiful, but the punch was

The spicy smell in the nose is daunting!

When Wang Xiucai mentioned these two things, Ruicai and coriander, Li Xingzhi was puzzled for a long time. Only later did he realize that Ruicai and coriander are rapeseed and coriander. Although Li Xingzhi was not used to calling them that, he was familiar with it.

That's what the people of the Tang Dynasty said, and they just followed the local customs...

People in the Tang Dynasty ate the "Five Pungent Plate" to dissipate the depression of the five internal organs and prevent epidemics. Li Xingzhi could only endure the spicy taste and ate it obediently. The two children next to him frowned tightly.

But I ate a lot obediently.

After finishing the "Five Spicy Plate", next is the "Jiaoya Chowder".

‘祧’ refers to sugar cubes. As the name suggests, gummies are sugar cubes that are slightly sticky to the teeth. This is a dessert made from barley, wheat or glutinous rice. It has a low sweetness and its main ingredient is maltose.

However, for the Tang Dynasty, where the sugar-making method was just introduced, this kind of thing was already relatively expensive. Looking at the little girl trying to maintain a ladylike appearance, you can tell that she definitely doesn't eat much on weekdays, just puppies.

Dan Dan was more restrained, but he had learned enough of Li Xingzhi's usual demeanor.

After eating "Jiaoya Chowder", everyone's appetite has been whetted and their stomachs are "gurgling" with hunger. At this time, the dumplings that have just been eaten, which is the "Tang Zhongluo Wan" of the Tang Dynasty,

It's already on the plate. Even though they were full yesterday, everyone was immediately drooled by the cute crescent-shaped dumplings in the large milky white delicate porcelain plate. Even Li Xingzhi was no exception. What's the minced garlic next to it?

, vinegar sauce, and chili oil have already been prepared, and everyone started eating with enthusiasm.

After eating the dumplings, it was almost midnight. The snow had melted a lot and they could barely drive the car. Everyone in the Cui family began to pack their bags, said goodbye to Li Xingzhi, and headed for Changsha City.

Sitting on the carriage, Cui Zhiwen looked at the things that his little daughter was constantly rubbing in her hands, and was a little curious, "Ru'er, show the things to Ye Ye." His own daughter knew it in his heart. Although she was young, she had seen a lot.

This little guy with good things is very discerning.

The little girl reluctantly handed the little jade cicada in her hand to Zhang Zhiwen, looking pitiful. The young woman next to her couldn't stand it and said angrily, "You are so old now, and you are still robbing Ru'er of things."

"You still don't know our daughter's vision?"

Zheng was naturally quite curious and leaned over to see what Zhang Lang was holding.

Jade cicada, the nickname of cicada on the temples, is worn when born and worn when dead. It first appeared in the Stone Age and appeared in the Shang and Zhou dynasties. It was used to wear to show nobility. Since the Han Dynasty, cicadas have been feathered to show the rebirth of people.

, placed on the mouth and tongue of the deceased, is also called 'Han Chan', 'Yu Han'.

The jade cicada given by Li Xingzhi is about three centimeters long and less than two centimeters wide. It is crystal clear and moist. It is carved with the finest mutton-fat white jade. The body is flat and thin, with two protruding eyes. The wings are carved out on the front using the eight-knife technique of the Han Dynasty.

, the abdomen is carved out on the back, smooth and natural, and the workmanship is even more delicate and delicate!

Suet-fat white jade is originally the best jade. It not only symbolizes the gentleman's virtues of "benevolence, righteousness, wisdom, courage and purity", but also symbolizes the emotions of "beauty, nobility, auspiciousness, gentleness and tranquility". In ancient times, it was generally only used by emperors.

Only generals and ministers are qualified to wear this kind of fine white jade!

This was something Li Xingzhi did not expect.

Cui Jialang and Cui Zheng looked at Yuchan carefully, and the first thing that came to their mind was to return it to her immediately. This gift was so expensive that even the couple who had seen a lot couldn't afford it!

Seeing the reluctant look of Xiao Ru'er next to him, Cui Zhiwen changed his mind again. He thought of how Li Xingzhi looked quite nonchalant when delivering things in the ruined temple. He had already taken the things, and it would be too pretentious to send them back.

, and people may not have other intentions in it, nor may they care about these things.

Li Xingzhi packed up his things inside the temple, and placed rhubarb and Diandian at the entrance of the temple to guard the house. He and Wang Xiucai took the puppy Dandan with them to the city.

On the first day of the lunar month, people usually visit relatives and friends and visit each other. During this period, all shops are closed and will not open until the fifth day of the lunar month.

Li Xing and his party went to Ping'an Fang to visit the bearded Wei Xishi and Tu Dalang. The bearded man was Li Xingzhi's great benefactor, and Tu Dalang was also a good man. Although he later learned that Li Xingzhi had sold his family's large intestines for a lot of money, they didn't

What kind of idea did he have, and he didn’t take advantage of the opportunity to raise the price? He is still a good person...

When we arrived at the gate of Wei Xishi's courtyard, the place seemed relatively deserted. After all, he was a Hu man and it was the first day of the Lunar New Year, so no one came to visit him.

When Wei Xishi saw Li Xingzhi's group, although he was a little surprised by their unusual clothes, he still warmly invited them to sit down. There were only a few desks in the lobby. A few people took off their shoes and went in, sitting casually beside them.

, after all, these people were very familiar with each other, so there was no need to sit upright and ask for trouble. Of course, Li Xingzhi couldn't help but explain Wang Xiucai's identity in a pretentious manner.

Naturally, it was necessary to bring some gifts when visiting someone's home. Li Xingzhi didn't bring too many things. The only things he brought with him were two pieces of fine silk and a sheet with the ingredients and the method of making braised pork.

In the eyes of Li Xingzhi, this gift is nothing, but in the eyes of Wei Xishi or other people of the Tang Dynasty, it is great! Let alone the silk, although it is rare for Wei Xishi, no matter how good it is, it still has a price.

As for the other method of making braised ingredients and braised meat, it was amazing. It could feed a family for a lifetime, and it was something that could benefit future generations. Although Wei Xishi coveted it, he still put it off.

Li Xingzhi tried hard to persuade him, but Wei Xishi accepted it. Because of this, Li Xingzhi felt that he was a trustworthy person, and it was not a lie to say that "justice kills more dogs".

After eating something at Big Beard's house, he said goodbye and left with a gift in return. Although Li Xingzhi despised this thing, this friendship made him have to be cautious!

After leaving Wei Dalang's house, we walked to Tu Dalang's house. The two families were in the same square, and it was not far away after a few turns. Compared with Kui Dalang's house, Tu Dalang's house was much more lively.

Although butchers are looked down upon, we have to admit that most butchers are powerful and have no shortage of money. People from all walks of life are more likely to come into contact with such people. The reason why Li Xing can sell intestines so safely is because Tu Dalang is sincere.

Li Xingzhi really didn’t know what was going on here if Wang Xiucai hadn’t suggested it.

Li Xingzhi prepared gifts, which were also two pieces of fine silk and a piece of paper with instructions on how to make large intestines.

As the slaves of Tu Dalang's family entered the lobby, a wave of heat hit them. The atmosphere was very lively, with people drinking, punching, and a group of big men with bare breasts.

When we arrived at the lobby, Mrs. Butcher had already greeted us.

Although the social atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was open, the general aristocrats even kept their women secretive when going out. It was only after the Wu Zhou Dynasty that all kinds of "immoral" things appeared. However, among the lower classes, there was a lot less respect for women.

There are bosses too, and in the eyes of ordinary people, there are not so many taboos against butchers who behave vulgarly!

After taking off his shoes and entering the hall, Tu Dalang heard the arrival of Li Xingzhi and his entourage and was about to stand up to greet him. However, he saw that the three of them were dressed in extraordinary clothes and had outstanding temperaments. The whole hall was silent. Only then did Tu Dalang recognize that Li Xingzhi and his entourage were in front of him.

, of course, Li Xingzhi could not help but make some nonsense about Wang Xiucai's identity.

After Li Xingzhi and others sat down, the lobby became lively again, but from time to time, some people glanced in their direction. After all, they were also curious about how Tu Dalang got to know such "noble people".

After sitting for a while at Tu Dalang's house, having a little something to eat, he only said some polite words, then thanked and left. Li Xingzhi was really not used to the atmosphere here, but Wang Xiucai was very calm...
