Grandmaster Koi Daily [Red Mansion]

Jia Amnesty's luck wasn't blown, the waterway from Jinling to Guangxi was extremely smooth, and he didn't even catch up with a storm.Guessing that the carriage was about to arrive in Kunming, I only stayed in Guilin for half a day, ate a bowl of local rice noodles, bought some Sanhua wine, and continued on my way.

From the map, it looks like the distance between Guilin and Kunming is about [-] miles, but the actual distance is much longer if you walk on the mountain road.

Fortunately, Jia Amnesty had the foresight to fiddle with the shock-absorbing tools of the carriage ahead of time.Otherwise, turning around in this mountain with nine bends and eighteen bends, this old waist will be smashed to pieces before it reaches Kunming.

"My lord, do you think we are comparable to Master Xuanzang, who went to the west to learn the scriptures? He went to the west to seek the scriptures and cultivated them. We are going to the southwest to serve and benefit the people." Jia She was lying idle in the carriage. Boring, chatting and counting the number of tassels under the jade pendant around Situ Chen's waist.

Situ Chen put away the fan in his hand, lightly tapped on the top of Jia She's head and said, "You really know how to put gold on your face, how can you compare with Master Xuanzang? Monks are vegetarians, can you hold back?" Don’t eat meat for three days? In my opinion, you are as skinny as Sun Monkey.”

monkey?Jia Amnesty heard Situ Chen say that he was like a monkey, and suddenly wanted to give Situ Chen a monkey to steal peaches.

But Jia Amnesty was just thinking about it for fun. If he really dared to sneak up on Situ Chen's Tao'er, he would probably have another Eunuch Jia by Situ Chen's side when he woke up tomorrow morning.

"What are you thinking about? Have you counted how many ropes there are? If it's not enough, how about counting how many hairs the king has? After counting, you might arrive in Kunming."

Since leaving Jinling, Situ Chen obviously talked more.

No matter how good the shock absorption effect of the carriage is, it is not suitable for reading for the sake of the eyes, and if you have enough sleep, you can only chatter when you have nothing to do.

Jia Amnesty was afraid that Situ Chen would find him annoying, so he always found something to pass the time for himself.Hearing that Situ Chen said to count his hair, although he knew that Situ Chen was joking, he got up and let him sit behind Situ Chen, took off Situ Chen's hair crown and took the comb from Liu Yu to comb Situ Chen's hair first.

"I didn't expect Enhou to have such a hand." Situ Chen was already mentally prepared to be grinned by Jia She's hair, but he didn't expect Jia She to comb his hair quite comfortably, and Liu Yu just waited on him to comb his hair. .

"I used to comb Lian'er's hair often, but I was afraid of tearing Lian'er's hair if I combed it too hard, so I had no choice but to say 'no one else, only hand is familiar'..."

Since Mrs. Zhang passed away, Jia Amnesty has been both a father and a mother, fearing that she might not take good care of the two children.

Combing hair is trivial.

Jia Amnesty touched Situ Chen's hair, and told Situ Chen to use as little pomade as possible when combing his hair in the future. "Why do you want it to be so uncluttered? It's almost enough. You can't see anything around the net towel and black gauze hat. Oily hair is uncomfortable on the one hand, and it is easy to cause hair loss on the other."

This is not a nonsense of Jia She himself, he has asked the imperial physician.

Situ Chen heard that overuse of hair oil would cause hair loss, so he touched his hair subconsciously, and turned around to ask Jia Amnesty why he didn't say it earlier.Jia Amnesty spread his hands innocently. How could he have the guts to go up and grab Situ Chen's hair to see if it was oily?

Hands must not be chopped off?

"I still want to ask the prince, is it not too stressful to wear such a heavy hair crown?" Jia She asked after helping Situ Chen through his hair.

Situ Chen nodded helplessly, and the pure gold hair crown was inlaid with a piece of emerald jade, so it wouldn't sink. "It's good to get used to it. When I was naughty in my mother's harem when I was a child, I curiously picked up my father's hair crown and played with it. It is much heavier than this."

His father said it was a heavy burden on his head, and reminded himself to stay awake at all times.

"Is the prince sober now? Think about what to eat later?" What to eat every day is the most asked question along the way.

Situ Chen wasn't very hungry, but he was tired of sitting in the carriage, so he went out to get some air after eating.As for what to eat, it doesn't matter, Jia She can do as he sees.

With a cook around, what Jia She cooks is basically for fun rather than to fill his stomach.It just so happened that a guard brought a rabbit to serve as an extra meal, and Jia Amnesty set up a shelf at the side, tidied it up and started roasting the rabbit.

"The meat quality of the rabbits running around in the wild is better than those kept in the paddock." Jia Amnesty blew on the heat on his legs and said after taking a bite.Situ Chen took out a knife to dismantle the meat from the rabbit's leg to entertain himself. He felt that the reason the meat was chewy was that the rabbit was a bit old.

But it's good to have something to eat in this wilderness, and I'm not picky.

After eating, drinking and resting for a while, we will continue on our way.Looking at the mountain road in front of him, Jia Amnesty muttered that he really wanted to blast the mountain into a big hole at the foot of the mountain.If the front of the mountain and the back of the mountain are directly connected, what kind of mountain road is there?The twists and turns of the mountain road have taken a lot of wrong roads, and the road is narrow and dangerous...

"It would be great if you can use gunpowder to build roads, and you want to blow a hole in the mountain? You are not afraid of disturbing the peace of the mountain god, and the mountain god will punish you." Situ Chen felt that Jia She was tired of sitting in the car, and he was a little whimsical.

Jia Amnesty didn't have any fun at all, and was seriously considering the possibility of this matter.

"If this can be done successfully, it will really benefit the common people. If the mountain god really blames him, then let him come to me." Jia She also said this with a stick in his neck, in case the movement is really disturbing What can I do when I get to the gods.

Seeing Jia She's strong and calm look, Situ Chen smiled and threw the roasted rabbit bones into the garbage bag.The person who tied the bell had to be untied, so naturally he had to comfort those he frightened.

Even if the mountain god is disturbed, he will be moved by Jia She, who is dedicated to the people, and will continue to bless the people here.

Compared to disturbing the mountain god who can only be seen and felt in awe, what Situ Chen is most worried about is that the ignorant people will obstruct the road from blasting the mountain...

The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds. There must be such people in a place as big as Yunnan, and it is definitely not just a village.

"It's a long way to go."

Jia She seriously underestimated the distance from Guilin to Kunming. When Jia She arrived in Kunming, Jia She's official residence had already begun to be repaired.The prefect of Kunming was looking forward to Jia She and Situ Chen every day, just waiting for Jia She to give an order.

Following behind this emperor's close minister, the evaluation in the future will definitely not be bad.If he can fall into the eyes of the governor, he will be promoted in the future and he will have no hatred.

"The mansion is still being repaired. My lords, please stay in the mansion for a while. I will arrange a welcome banquet..." The magistrate of Kunming was respectful but not obsequious, which made Jia She, who was treated like this for the first time, quite at ease.

In Jinling, Situ Chen tasted the phrase "don't waste extravagance" and didn't throw it out. It is estimated that there will be no extravagance and waste here.

It's true that extravagance and waste are not enough. The dishes that the prefect of Kunming helped Situ Chen and Jia She to clean up the dust were all local snacks.

"This is the most famous cross-bridge rice noodle dish in the local area. It consists of three parts. A bowl of chicken soup, served with a plate of thinly sliced ​​fresh meat, chicken, and fish slices, plus tofu skin, leeks, mung bean sprouts, A plate of coriander and green onion, and a bowl of rice noodles at the end."

Because there are other dishes in the follow-up, the county magistrate only prepared two or two meters of noodles for Situ Chen and Jia She to try first.If you find it delicious, just eat it next time.

The hot steam in the chicken soup is suppressed by a thin layer of chicken oil on the surface. First, slices of raw meat thicker than cicada wings are put in, and they are cooked in a short time, and then the remaining side dishes and rice noodles are added in sequence.Jia She picked up a chopstick of rice noodles, glanced at Situ Chen who tasted a spoonful of chicken soup first, and then blew on the rice noodles before stuffing them into his mouth.

Some people seem calm, but the tip of their tongue has already been scalded with chicken soup.

"This dish is called Braised Chicken Cong. The taste of this dish is fresh and sweet, and it is named Jicong because it can be compared with chicken."

Hearing that the magistrate said that the fir tree also has the effect of nourishing the stomach and refreshing the mind, Situ Chen picked up an extra chopstick.But Jia She felt that even if it was as good as chicken, it would still be a mushroom, and it would be better to eat chicken directly.

Jia She picked up a piece of chicken and tapped the container with his chopsticks.The magistrate immediately understood and introduced the steam pot chicken that Jia She had just taken away.

"The Governor just ordered this dish called Steam Pot Chicken, which is named after it is steamed in a steam pot. Put the chicken pieces into the pot and put the seasonings on it, then seal the pot tightly, put it in a large casserole with water, and use it Steaming on high heat takes about two hours. The steam continuously enters the steamer from the pipe at the bottom of the steamer, steaming the chicken pieces and condensing the soup in the pot at the same time. The soup made in this way is fresh and tender, and can taste the most The original taste and nutrition of chicken. Yunnan is rich in medicinal materials, if there is a need for nourishment, you can also add some medicinal materials and steam them with chicken to make a medicinal diet.”

The prefect gave some introductions to each dish, so that Situ Chen and Jia She could better understand the local food culture.However, in the ears of Situ Chen and Jia She, what the magistrate introduced didn't hit the point.

What Situ Chen thought was that since Yunnan produces medicinal materials, collecting medicinal materials and selling them should be a good way to get rich.

But Jia Amnesty was full of thoughts about the freshness of the steam pot chicken.The one in front of me is too simple. Before firing, let the craftsman draw some landscape or flower and bird patterns, and sell it to make a lot of money.If you can carve or inlay jade on the clay embryo to make more advanced steam pots, you can make more money...

Even if you don't use it to make steam pot chicken, just put it on the shelf, it is a simple and elegant handicraft.

"You have worked hard on this meal. You were too busy introducing it to the two of us, but you didn't eat a single bite." Situ Chen was very satisfied with the banquet, and he glanced at Jia She as he spoke.Jia Amnesty was also very satisfied. After eating and drinking enough, he proposed to change into casual clothes and take a walk on the street.

It happened that I was a little stuffed after eating, and it was like digesting food after walking around.

"You haven't eaten yet, hurry up and don't go out on an empty stomach. The prince and I are going to change clothes, you eat slowly, don't worry." Seeing that the magistrate is going out with him, Jia Amnesty hastily stopped him.

Jia Amnesty's words moved the prefect of Kunming to death.I feel that Jia Amnesty, the boss, is really caring. He even gave him time to eat and comforted him not to be in a hurry.

Later, I must take the governor and the prince to take a good look around the city of Kunming.Today is definitely not enough to go shopping. If you want to go shopping tomorrow, he will continue to accompany you.

"Tell me about the steam pot. If it is really good, I decided to order [-] pieces first, and people will come to buy them after a while. When the steam pot becomes popular, even other places will follow suit. Manufacturing, the most authentic place is here.”

Five hundred!This is not a small amount, let alone a follow-up amount.When the magistrate heard that he could sell so much, he didn't feel that the governor was lying to others, so he was so excited that he almost knelt in front of Jia She and bowed three more times.

Jia Amnesty couldn't understand the production process, even if he introduced it to Xue Qian in the letter, he just repeated what the prefect told him like dropping a book bag.

The local red, yellow, blue, purple and white five-color pottery clay is used in the production. The five-color clay is soaked in water, stirred, and filtered into red clay. fade.

Anyway, to sum it up, our steam boiler is very distinctive.

"Understood, you go and ask the shops that make steam pots to make a sample. Don't worry, I won't be greedy for petty gain and plunder. I will definitely pay for it. If it is particularly good, there will be additional rewards."

When Jia Amnesty was planning to select the best among the best, he saw several tables with a pair of stones on an open space not far away, and many people were watching.

"What's so good about this stone? There are so many people around it."

Situ Chen knew something about it and told Jia She that it was not an ordinary stone.The magistrate glanced at Situ Chen's eyes and saw that Jia Amnesty really didn't know, so he told Jia Amnesty that it was a gambling stone.

"Enhou's luck has always been good, do you want to try it?" Situ Chen felt that the two of them were full anyway, and with Jia Amnesty's luck, at least they would not lose money.

As soon as it was said that this thing was a gambling stone, Jia Amnesty understood.From his layman's point of view, there is no difference between the skin and the most common stone in the river, only the flesh inside the stone skin.

"Come as soon as you come, what if you get a good deal?" Jia Amnesty was actually just talking.

Although he is a layman in gambling and stone business, he is a veteran in business.These stones were all bought by the shopkeeper. If it was possible to produce top-quality stones, the shopkeeper would have taken them away long ago.Picking among the remaining stones may be possible to pick up a bargain, but it is unrealistic to pick a big bargain.

The people gathered together have different accents, and most of them are foreigners.Judging from the methods they used to examine the stones, Jia Amnesty was an expert, and it was very likely that they were trained by the jewelry and jade merchants who came here on purpose.

"Hey, this lord looks a bit unfamiliar, it seems like he's coming back for the first time?" Seeing Jia She's unusual clothes, the shopkeeper guessed that Jia She might be a young master who was playing around.

It looks like a lot of money.

Seeing that Jia She started to pick out small stones, the shopkeeper hurriedly said that these were scraps and leftovers, and there was no way to open any good ones.I kept recommending Jia She to go to the biggest table and choose a table starting at 200 taels.

"Since you're here to play, let's have fun." Jia Amnesty was a little bored with this shopkeeper who was eager for quick success, so he took a stone and handed it to the shopkeeper. "That's it, how much silver?"

Seeing that Jia Amnesty seemed a little annoyed, the shopkeeper immediately said ten taels.I made this master happy today, maybe he will come back tomorrow.Once you get addicted to playing, you'll be fine. Sooner or later, you will go to the biggest table to gamble.

The stones inside can be chosen at will, and he will lose if he can get a decent one.

Situ Chen also wanted to see how Jia Amnesty picked the gambling stones, so he also followed suit.As a result, Jia Amnesty didn't even look at it, just picked up a stone and gave the shopkeeper ten taels of silver.

Is it lucky to be so willful?

"Is this master going to peel the skin now?" The shopkeeper asked Jia She, who thought about it and nodded. "Peel off the skin, just put it here and peel it off."

What if it was found to be a treasure after peeling, and a broken stone was replaced in the house?

At this time, the villain first and the gentleman second.

The shopkeeper's hands trembled as soon as he hammered it down, and the exposed piece turned out to be Mancui!Seeing that the shopkeeper was excited, the old customers knew that this was a good product, and they gathered around to see what kind of good it was.

The more people are watching, the more difficult it is for the shopkeeper to play tricks.

"Congratulations sir, your piece is Mancui." No matter how distressed the shopkeeper was, he couldn't swallow Jia She's piece of Mancui in front of so many people.I can only wait until I get home at night to wash my eyes well, and pick out the betting stone in my hand again.

Jia Amnesty didn't quite understand the concept of Mancui, so he asked the shopkeeper how much his piece was worth.

"100 taels, if you want to sell, the small ones will be accepted immediately." The shopkeeper saw that there was money to be made, so he hurriedly offered Jia She a price.

They are all old foxes in business. Can Jia Amnesty fail to see this little trick?Since the shopkeeper said that his value is 100 taels, it is basically worth 300 taels.If the carving is better, it can sell for 500 taels at least.

It's fine to sell it, this is a commemoration anyway, why not give it away...

Seeing that Situ Chen also came to the stall, Jia Amnesty bumped Situ Chen with his shoulder and asked, "You want one too?"

Situ Chen didn't have much confidence in his luck, so he asked Jia She to help him pick a piece and he paid for it.As for the peeling, it is not here, so as not to stimulate the shopkeeper to pass out.

"If it's a good one, you two are welcome to come and choose."

This thing will definitely become addictive after playing for a long time, and once addicted, someone will fall into the trap.

For example, I bought small pieces before, and I still made a little money.Later, I was tricked into buying a big one, but when I disassembled it, I saw that it was all scraps.

Lost all the silver earned before.

In the evening, Jia Amnesty narrated his thoughts to the prefect one by one, and the prefect conveyed them to the next level.

"The official and the prince have passed through many places along the way. Some places are acceptable, while some places do not even know the current reign of His Majesty the Emperor."

No matter how poor you are, you can't have poor education, and no matter how hard you are, you can't cry for your children.The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade.If you want to get rich, build roads first...

Jia Amnesty made it clear that the current task is to build roads and set up schools.

Hearing that Jia Amnesty was going to blow up the mountain to build roads, the officials blew up the pot first.

"Lord governor, this mountain cannot be blown up..."
