I am Da Song

Chapter 571 Visiting Yang's House
Zhao Huan felt that in terms of living, the difference between the Song Dynasty and the Han Dynasty should be the smallest.

But until he was taken to his residence in Hejian Mansion by Yang Yuanwai.

The people of the Song Dynasty were extremely hospitable. The most famous passage in "Menghualu" is that the people in Tokyo are friendly, and if they see foreign people being bullied by the people in Beijing, they will rescue them.Sometimes the sergeants patrolling the streets wanted to arrest people who were fighting, and there would also be enthusiastic people who would come forward and pay for the officers to eat, so that the major incidents would be reduced to minor ones.If foreigners moved to the capital, the neighbors would enthusiastically visit and treat them to dinner.

So in "Shuo Yue", wherever Grandpa Yue goes, there will be warm people treating guests to wine.

Zhao Huan also encountered this scene. This Yang Yuanwai had a very high opinion of Zhao Huan and was very enthusiastic. He wanted to invite him, a foreigner, to his home and let him have a banquet.

To be honest, if it is in later generations, human feelings will be indifferent.Everyone will feel weird and even wary of a person who is about to treat someone to dinner after only chatting for a while.

But in Da Song, among the heroes, this fact is too normal.

Even Song Jiang and Lu Junyi, as long as you ask him to borrow money, he will definitely lend it to you.You don't even have to pay it back.

Of course, if anyone doesn't know what to do and keeps trying to squeeze the wool, unless he is talented and generous, like Liu Bang, Li Kui's fists will also make him suffer.

Whether Yang Yuanwai regarded Zhao Huan as Liu Bang, Zhao Huan was not sure.

But this Yuanwai absolutely carried out the enthusiasm and hospitality of Song Dynasty Yuanwai, and after Cuju ended, he must invite Zhao Huan to his house as a guest.

The veteran said very bluntly: "I am sixty-three in my old age, and I have lived most of my life. The human heart can still distinguish between good and evil. If God is merciful, I can still have nearly 20 years of life. In the future, as long as you come to the river Jianfu, you still remember me as an old friend of Hejianfu, you can come and see me, brother."

After listening to the old man, Zhao Huan realized why the people of Song Dynasty were so enthusiastic.

In this era of slow travel and horses, it is also a pleasant thing to have a good friend when you are away from home.

So, some people hit it off right away.Some people have gray hair like new.

Of course, the most important thing is that the people of Song Dynasty are rich and prosperous.Not bad food for a feast at all.

If it was like Liu Bei's time, Orion would kill his wife if he invited Liu Bei to eat a meal of meat, cut off his thigh, and stewed a bowl of meat soup.

No matter how enthusiastic the people are, they may not be generous.

Zhao Huan had no choice but to ask Wei Sheng to prepare a gift and come to the door with two exquisite gift boxes.

The gift is not particularly extravagant, a gift box contains a set of cracked ice porcelain, which is the highest level of porcelain made in the Song Dynasty and the pinnacle of human aesthetics.Except for Kang Mazi of the Qing Dynasty who liked gaudy vulgarity, people of every age probably admired this exquisite porcelain.

If such a set of porcelain is sold to the west of Constantinople, or Nanyang and Indy, it can sell at least a dozen taels of gold.But in the Song Dynasty, due to the large number of porcelain cellars, the price was reduced to only two pennies.

But Zhao Huan felt that the price could continue to be lowered. A set of ice-cracked porcelain in later generations would only cost about one day's salary for one person.

There is still a big gap between the industry of the Song Dynasty and the industry of the Celestial Dynasty in terms of scale.

But in terms of porcelain quality, there is not much difference.For example, the set of porcelain brought by Zhao Huan was made by Ru Kiln. In later generations, the auction price of a cup in this set of porcelain started at [-] million yuan.

Zhao Huan couldn't help but smile, if he buried a set in the ground and left it to future generations, even if the future generations were down and out, they could instantly become billionaires by digging up the treasures of their ancestors.

How precious is he?In the collection world of later generations, there is a saying that there is no museum in the world without Ru kiln.

That is to say, no museum in the world has Song porcelain from Ru Kiln.Basically, this precious cultural relic can only be seen in the Forbidden City and the Taipei Palace Museum.

Of course, at present, although Ru Kiln is precious, it is only one of many brands, and it is not particularly outrageous.

At least compared to another gift, his price seems very affordable.

Another gift was a box of black truffles.

Black truffles are a type of fungus.It grows on the roots of oak, pine or chestnut trees. It is picky about the growth environment. Weather and soil changes will affect its growth. Therefore, the annual output is extremely unstable, so its expensive price is comparable to diamonds.

Therefore, black truffle is known as "unfathomable, expensive as gold".

This thing is only produced in a few places in the world, namely France, Italy near the Alps and Yunnan in China.

There are several other small areas, but yields are negligible.

Yunnan's output accounts for [-]% of the world's output.After all, Yunnan is famous all over the country for eating mushrooms.

They even have a brainwashing nursery rhyme: "Red umbrellas and white poles, let's lie down together after eating.

Sleep in the coffin on the board, and then bury the mountains together.

Buried Shanshan cried and shouted, and the whole village came to eat.

There are umbrellas for meals, and the whole village lies on the board together.

Sleeping in a coffin on a lying board, no one helped to bury the mountain.

We can only dry it together, and we will grow umbrellas in the rainy season next year. "

This means that there are too many fungi on their side, and even children often dig them.

Black truffle is also one of the most important items exported from Dali to the Central Plains.

In short, the Song Dynasty is definitely now, collecting the treasures of the world, all belong to the market; the peculiar smell of Huihuan District is all in the kitchen.

Yang Yuanwai was still as polite as ever, and said to Zhao Huan: "Just come to my brother's house for dinner. You must bring some gifts."

Zhao Huan motioned to Wei Sheng to hand over the gift to the servant at the side, and said to Yang Yuanwai with a smile: "It should be, I don't know what my brother likes, so I just bought some, I hope my brother won't dislike it."

After speaking, he turned his head and looked around, and asked, "Is this mansion the property of my brother?"

"Yes. To tell you the truth, brother, I am a lively person. Staying in the small place of Yangjiazhuang, I also find it boring. I bought a mansion in this Hejianfu city. I usually have two sides. Walking around is like loosening your body."

"The humble house is nothing compared to my virtuous brother's mansion in Tokyo. I hope my virtuous brother don't despise the shabby."

"Simplicity?" Zhao Huan looked around and asked: "Brother, your mansion is still simple? It must be two or three acres?"

"It only occupies two acres of land. In this Hejian Mansion, it's not considered a stately home."

Two acres of land!

Zhao Huan asked earnestly, "Is there no business in my brother's family?"

"No. I'm stupid. A nobleman told me that the best way for me to keep money is to keep the few hundred acres of land passed down from my ancestors. I just live on land rent, and I don't have any great wealth. life."

Zhao Huan took a deep breath, this is the crux of the problem!

He's just an ordinary member of the Song Dynasty who can't be an ordinary official, not even a small official fighting food!

But his mansion is completely unbelievable!
