By the way, Wang Baoer's family's Ma's Escort Agency had been seized by Ganzhou City's Mayor Huyan Yibao on the charge of "collaborating with the enemy". All the family members, young and old, who could be caught were killed, and their property was ransacked and the entire agency was burned to the ground. Some land outside the city was also confiscated.
However, most of the main members of her family were killed in the robbery and murder. Her mother died early, and she was not very close to the remaining women, children and the elderly.
In addition, she also felt that Yang Sheng seemed to be somewhat unhappy with the actions of their escort company, and she took the "Poison Ivy Potion" to develop her potential. Her personal strength had "skyrocketed" for her level, and she urgently needed more professional guidance to adapt to her new physical condition. In the face of Yang Sheng's ambiguous attitude, she chose to endure and practice, and did not rush to seek revenge on Huyan Yibao.
……
After brushing their teeth and washing their faces, Yang Sheng and Wang Baoer did the "Yang style fitness exercises" together in the yard.
The scientific muscle training method from the ordinary world, combined with the training techniques from the magic world, is a very advanced training method even if used in the "martial arts world" with a completely different style.
If the "Poison Ivy Potion" helped Wang Baoer develop her potential and increased the points in her three attributes of strength, agility and endurance, then practicing and cultivating Yang Sheng's "fitness exercises" made her three basic attributes, which had increased dramatically, become more coordinated and handy. The girl clearly felt that her strength was still increasing in small increments, her speed was faster, her movements were more agile, and her breath was longer.
In the past, after practicing a set of sword techniques, my breathing became rapid and I was sweating all over. Now, my breathing remained basically the same, and my body was just slightly hot. And this was only the state during practice, and it could be used in actual combat.
To unleash greater combat power.
In the past few days, she had defeated masters in the city that she had never dared to think of before. However, the stronger she became, the more she felt that Yang Sheng was unfathomable, and the more obedient and submissive she became in her daily behavior - even though Yang Sheng rarely took the initiative to tell her what to do.
"Bend your left arm and lift the stone lock. Do this movement 5 times. Then practice your family sword skills three times with your left hand as the main one. Do the same in the afternoon until your left-hand sword skills are as flexible as your right hand."
"Yes, sir."
After the two of them finished doing the "exercise" together, Yang Sheng gave her instructions based on her performance.
Like most ordinary people, Wang Baoer is right-handed. If she does not exercise her left arm and hand specifically, her two arms will be slightly different in size.
This is very common in this world. Yang Sheng has observed the warriors who have appeared in the past few days. Weapons used to be two-handed are better. As for those who use one-handed weapons, their dominant hand is basically thicker than the arm of their non-dominant hand.
This made Yang Sheng, who had a mild obsessive-compulsive disorder, feel very uncomfortable, so when he was instructing Wang Baoer in her practice, he paid special attention to this point.
After giving these instructions, Wang Baoer was left to practice the rest on her own, including a set of internal energy techniques for meditation.
Yang Sheng went out to buy vegetables, carrying a basket.
Ganzhou City has a morning market, and there are big fairs on the first and fifteenth day of every month. In addition, some forces in the city also have privately organized black markets. However, half of the goods in the latter are not in compliance with modern laws, and do not seem to be legal in this era, such as population, and some goods that are expressly banned by the government.
Occasionally, one can find some cultivation techniques or something, but this world only has low-level techniques and "natural treasures" like "Poison Ivy" which are the upper limit of the herbal medicine level in the world of martial arts. There are no magic weapons. Even the "magic weapons" are basically at the level of modern high-carbon alloy steel, so Yang Sheng is not very interested in the "black market".
On the contrary, the morning market or some ordinary commodities can give him unexpected surprises, such as spices and species that are not found in other worlds.
The staple food in Ganzhou area is wheat and a number of crops similar to corn. Wheat is low-gluten wheat and is not suitable for baking foods such as bread. It is suitable for making naan, steamed buns and other types of steamed and boiled pasta. For example, the dry food carried by Wang Baoer and her escort agency is made of flour mixed with a certain amount of salt and oil, and baked in a fireplace. It is said that this stuff can be preserved for more than a year under normal conditions.
It is food specially prepared for desert and long-distance travel.
Yang Sheng has no interest in eating this way, but this noodle is very delicious when made into wide noodles, steamed buns or noodle soup.
The same goes for that kind of millet. It tastes very good when cooked into millet porridge, and it can also be used to make rice mash and wine.
The local vegetables and fruits are scarce and lack any special features, probably due to water shortage.
In addition to rice and noodles, Yang Sheng felt very good about mutton. It was probably because sheep had evolved to be very delicious and had been bred in a long-term targeted manner by humans.
No special cooking is required, whether grilled or stewed, it will taste delicious just by sprinkling some spices and salted eggs.
……
Just like what I said before, as long as you go to a crowded place, you will naturally know a lot of basic information about this world.
Just functioning ears.
The dynasty south of Ganzhou was called "An" and the emperor was called "Tian Jing".
As for how big the area is and why there are so many diverse hairstyles, Yang Sheng hasn't figured it out yet. However, with his farming and business talents, he has figured out the commercial value of this world in the past few days.
For example, the local rice and flour, although not magical materials, taste very good and can be exported to other worlds as high-end products like "Wuchang Rice". The mutton and sheep breeds are also very good, at least in terms of texture and taste, they are better than most mutton he knows.
The demand for special species like "poisonous vines"... well, it's not small. They are good raw materials for pharmaceutical production for Yang Sheng's Crown Eagle Mountain forces and several other low-level transcendents in the magical world.
However, ordinary commodities such as rice, flour, mutton, tea and tea cakes, if the quantity increases, can become the hard currency to support long-term trade relations. There are also some special medicinal materials that he discovered in recent days.
"Hmm, how about building a trading post in this world?"
"Although I came here by accident, it would be a bit of a waste if I just left without doing anything..."
0064
In the evening, somewhere on the Ganzhou Ancient Tea-Horse Road.
Wang Baoer, still dressed as the tomboy shepherd, was gathering the horses, digging a fire pit on the ground, lighting a bonfire, and placing the bedding rolls in the appropriate position.
Just like when they arrived at the Wild Man Hill in Ganzhou before, she stayed in the camp to look after the luggage while Yang Sheng went out to look for food.
As the saying goes, when one is still for the longest time, one will want to move. After coming up with the idea of establishing a trading base, Yang Sheng planned to explore more of this strange, semi-martial arts world of ancient Han civilization. So he sold the house in Ganzhou again, and took Wang Baoer with him to go south along the Ancient Tea-Horse Road for a self-driving tour of the Anhui Dynasty.
The horses were equipped with only clean water and horse fodder. In addition, as there was a need to wander around and explore the wild, Yang Sheng, like before, did not use his own supply reserves. Instead, like Bear Grylls, he tried his best to find edible things in the wild.
Although his [Identification Skill] can obtain relatively comprehensive information, it is not a panacea. Many things need to be tried personally to know how salty they taste or what special effects they have.
Moreover, this wasteland
The desolation of the prairie only applies to ordinary people and knights with martial arts skills. To him, it is no different from his own ecological garden and vegetable garden. Basically, everything flying in the sky, running on the ground, and burrowing in the soil is his prey.
So he explored a little further and caught a few large lizards over two feet long in the gravel for dinner.
In the deserts of the Middle East and Africa, local indigenous peoples often catch lizards for food. Although I haven't seen any famous recipes, with their cooking skills, as long as the taste of the lizard itself is not too bad, they can make delicious food.
After all, everything can be grilled, everything can be hotpoted, and everything can be braised... If that doesn't work, everything can be tempura. However, in order to prevent the result from being inconsistent with the [Identification Technique] ([Identification Technique] determined that this big lizard tastes good), he caught a few more rabbits.
In fact, with his extraordinary perception, he also found some big fat rats similar to groundhogs and moles in the underground burrows. However, he was in awe of rodents that could carry the plague, and tried to avoid preying on rodents as long as there were lizards and hares.
Unless it is the bamboo rat, which has been proven to be basically harmless to humans - but then again, even bamboo rats have a very small chance of carrying a relatively rare pathogen, something like Penicillium marneffei.
Yang Sheng recalled the direction and remembered many details. The correct statement of this sentence is that Penicillium marneffei is widely present in nature, but the probability of being carried by wild bamboo rats is relatively high. Moreover, as the top creatures in nature, the way humans have evolved determines that most people are immune to this pathogen. Only a small number of people with deficient immunity will be infected by this pathogen.
Thinking about things and carrying the prey in his hands, Yang Sheng drove at high speed all the way back to the camp.
Wang Baoer was very skilled in handling rabbits: bleeding, skinning, gutting, cutting, and then skewering the rabbits on tree branches and grilling them over red charcoal without any flames.
However, it was probably her first time to handle a lizard, so she was a little overwhelmed. Yang Sheng gave her some pointers, and she handled it easily. Later, while she was watching over the barbecued lizards and rabbits, she used a knife to scrape the remaining meat on the rabbit and lizard skins.
Rabbit skin and lizard skin are both widely used materials in daily life. Yang Sheng has a place to store them, so after processing them, he puts them in his "mobile phone" for emergency use.
He started another fire and set up a pot, cooking a portion of rabbit meat and a portion of lizard using the braising and stewing methods respectively.
The result of subsequent tasting showed that this lizard tastes delicious no matter how it is prepared.
……
It was already dark when they finished eating. Wang Baoer took a small shovel and dug a hole to sell the leftover food. She then ran to a slightly farther place to take care of some personal chores. She came back to wash her hands with clean water, then sat on the bedding beside the campfire, posing with her five hearts facing the sky to practice her internal energy.
This is what Yang Sheng taught her. If it were in this world, it might be an advanced technique at the level of the Nine Yin Manual or the Nine Yang Manual.
Although she is still dressed as a shepherd, she is not afraid of being recognized after leaving Ganzhou City, and her identity is also under Yang Sheng's pass, so her face and clothes are very clean. She has a neutral and heroic appearance, and with a higher collar, she is not afraid of being recognized as a woman dressed as a man. Most people will think she is a boy in the voice change period.
Yang Sheng was leaning on his bedding roll in a comfortable position, reading a book he bought from a bookstore in Ganzhou City.
He possesses a "special vision" through magical means. Even in the dark night without a trace of fire, it does not affect his ability to see the words on the book clearly. He also does not use his eyes in dimly lit places like ordinary people, which will cause his eyesight to deteriorate over time.
Ever since he learned that the people here who spoke Chinese and used Chinese characters also called themselves "Han people", he has been very curious about their origins.
In his opinion, since they call themselves "Han people", their ancestors must have had a "Han Dynasty" or a dynasty named "Han". If it is the latter, it must be strong enough to be comparable to the former "Han Dynasty", otherwise people in later generations would not be named "Han".
Since there was the "Han Dynasty", there must have been a "Qin Dynasty" before it, or it would be reasonable to have a dynasty with "Qin" as its country name. After all, the Han Dynasty followed the Qin system, so there must have been a brother Zulong who created a precedent for the unification of the world, which led to the Han Dynasty's dominance over the world and the record of many outrageous things in its DNA.
However, when he was in Ganzhou City, Yang Sheng bought some history books and "visited the library in the Ganzhou City government office at night." He read a lot of documents, but found no records of the "Han" or "Qin" dynasties in history. The "Han people" here seemed to have suddenly jumped out of the cracks in the rocks, and they called themselves "Han people" since the beginning of written records.
According to the normal historical trajectory, before the emergence of the more unified general term "Han people", the people of China mostly called themselves by their ethnicity or place of origin. For example, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, they called themselves XX from such-and-such place, or simply called themselves Qin people, Zhao people, or Chu people. There was basically no more unified name, or they might have been called "Xia" or "Huaxia".
Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, the famous generals of the Three Kingdoms period, called themselves "Zhang Fei of Yan" and "Zhao Zilong of Changshan".
In the earlier tribal forms, there may have been general terms such as Jiuli and Yanhuang.
All of the above shows that if there had not been a dynasty in history that was particularly strong and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and happened to be called "Han", there would basically not have been a thing like calling oneself "Han" as a national identity.
The fact that the people here have not gone through any of these development processes but still call themselves "Han people" is very questionable.
The book Yang Sheng is reading now is called "Records of the Ancestors", which is a comprehensive work of mythology, unofficial history and hearsay. He does not think he has any authority in this area, but feels that the nature of this set of books is similar to "Classic of Mountains and Seas".
He didn't know whether he could get any clues from it, but he was just sitting around doing nothing anyway.
……
A beautiful girl was lazily taking a nap on the table in the restaurant.
If it were in another place, it would probably arouse the enthusiasm of the crowd, who would gather around her and ask for her autograph or take photos with her.
Chinese people are relatively reserved, and even a rare beauty would not cause this kind of situation. However, this girl is different, she is quite special.
Because she is not only a star, she also has a title "Sister Fairy". In this time and space, she is also a popular artist known to everyone in the mysterious country. Her name is also very imaginative to the one in Time and Space Zero, called "Liu Yifei".
However, this is a tea restaurant in the headquarters building of "Traveler Entertainment". The workers have received relatively systematic service training, and there are employee benefits such as obtaining autographs and taking photos with the company's artists, so no one disturbed Liu Yifei.
Compared with the "Fairy Sister" in the zero time and space, this Liu Yifei is the top version. The "Fairy Sister" in the zero time and space is already a stunning beauty in the world, otherwise she would not have inherited the title of "Fairy Sister" from the drama, but the "Fairy Sister" in this time and space is even better.
Her figure is more slender and tall, with a thin waist and long legs. Although her upper and lower bust are not the big breasts, they are within a certain range, very full and soft. Her appearance and figure are comparable to those of Zhuo Yisi and Xiaoling, who are high-level transcendents in Yang Sheng's family.
The reason why she appeared in the headquarters building of "Crossover Entertainment" was naturally because she was a contracted artist of "Crossover Entertainment".
According to the current qualifications of "Crossover Entertainment", even if it has financial advantages and unexpected strength in film and television production, these are not known to outsiders. Logically speaking, it is impossible to sign a big star of the level of "Sister Fairy".
Even though the movie that "Sister Fairy" shot with Hollywood last year failed both in terms of reputation and box office, it did not affect her popularity at all. There is no way around it; her image is just too good. Not only do her male fans like her, but her female fans also like her extremely much.
However, this year is 2006, and the development is different from the parallel universe. For example, the "Jade Frontier War God" released last year was released in 2008 in the zero universe, and it also has almost the same trajectory, that is, her agent is her own mother, and the original signing company is her godfather's company.
How should I put it? Her biological mother and godfather are truly a pair of perfect match, a pair of very smart people.
In the past few years, thanks to Liu Yifei's angelic beauty, she has obtained film and television resources that ordinary stars can hardly imagine. She has moved from TV dramas to the big screen and played the leading role in many movies.
The "relying on Liu Yifei's angelic beauty" mentioned here refers to the several large domestic film and television companies that saw her development potential. Wolong and Fengchu used this as the basis for negotiations and reached a verbal agreement that the film would be released under or affiliated with the other company. As a result, the film flopped afterwards, so they pushed the verbal agreement aside and refused to acknowledge it.
If it was just one or two companies, it wouldn't be a big deal. After all, she is a fairy sister, and there will always be people willing to give her a job... no, to offer her an opportunity. But this couple has cheated all the major companies in the industry over the past few years, and the consequences are finally apparent. No one is willing to believe them anymore. Her godfather's entertainment company does not have its own production and distribution capabilities. As a result, in the past year, she has gone from being very popular to not receiving any film or television notices, and can only attend some advertising endorsement occasions.
They have fallen to the point where they can only hang out in the Hong Kong circle... I'm not deliberately belittling them here. Hong Kong's film and television industry has been in decline since the late 2000s. After , they have increasingly had to look to the mainland for help and rely on the mainland's ticket revenue. It is an indisputable fact that everyone from actors and stars to directors and screenwriters have gone to the mainland to make money.
Hong Kong's film and television productions have gradually become so rare that there are only one or two excellent works, such as "Infernal Affairs" and "The Grandmaster", and even the overall cultural core has begun to lag behind.
Even in the Hong Kong film and television circles, with the precedent of not just one or two, but almost all major film and television companies in the Mainland, relatively large-scale investments dare not give the Fairy Sister the green light. After all, no matter what era, it is reasonable to use their own film and television resources on their contracted artists.
Simply put, although it seems that neither Crouching Dragon nor Phoenix Chick has taken advantage of anyone, they have ruined the business reputation of the Fairy Sister.
Many people are willing to invest in Fairy Sister on a low budget, but given her status, she is not allowed to take on such low-budget productions. If she really appears in these shoddy low-budget productions, she will really ruin her acting career.
Secondly, this kind of low-cost investment is made by private investors. Not all of them, but many of them are aiming for the Fairy Sister herself and have some unrealistic expectations. Although Liu Yifei made her debut with her looks, she still has some ideas and ambitions for her acting career, and has not fallen to the point of having to eat and drink with ordinary small bosses.
If she follows the trajectory of Space-Time Zero, the Fairy Sister might have wasted a long time, and it was not until after 2010 that she gradually returned to the public eye.
The fact that she will be lucky enough to be a man who steals the universe in the future may be related to these experiences.
As for the fact that "Traveler Entertainment" signed her, they didn't even take the initiative to contact him. From the beginning, they never thought that they could recruit the Fairy Sister. Instead, when "star schools" such as Shanghai Theatre Academy, Beijing Film Academy and Central Academy of Drama were signing artist contracts with newcomers, Liu Yifei got the news from some unknown channel and took the initiative to deliver it to them.
Maybe he knows the backstage relationship between "Crossover Entertainment", "Crossover Technology" and D Station...
Honestly speaking, her arrival was very unexpected and caught everyone off guard. The management of "Traveler Entertainment" was happy, after all, "Sister Fairy" ran away from her godfather's company, and their company got her real "artist contract", which was something that even the old companies hadn't done. It was also a face-saving thing among the fan community, but on the other hand, they were a little overwhelmed as a whole.
Because "Crossover Entertainment" has no plans to produce big-screen movies in the short term, the two first works it is preparing are both TV series, one is called "Mountain and Sea Love" and the other is called "Awakening Age"...
In fact, in this era, we should shoot some anti-Japanese and costume dramas, and some movies that cannot be released in China. Not to mention catering to Western stereotypes, critical reality movies that deeply explore human nature and social darkness are in line with the trend. However, the original intention of establishing D Station and "Traveler Entertainment" is to seize the high ground of public opinion, so the two projects "Mountains and Seas" and "Awakening Age" were launched.
0065
After the Fairy Sister unexpectedly signed up to join the company, although the family was a little anxious because Yang Sheng and Luo Ruier were "lost", based on the principle of believing that he was a "cautious man", the women in the family did not worry too much.
Regardless of whether they participate in the family business and company management or not, when a group of women chat casually and talk about the Fairy Sister, they subconsciously think that it is a bit difficult to deal with.
The difficulty here is that everyone thinks that if Liu Yifei does not make a breakthrough in her acting skills, then her image will be basically the same as the Fairy Sister in a parallel universe, basically fixed in the stereotyped routines of the eldest lady of the Republic of China and the "Fairy Sister" in costume dramas.
But what exactly happened, except for Emily, everyone could only blame it on her poor acting skills.
Emily knew the detailed reasons. Unlike her other sisters who were either "foreigners" or "ABCs" or even not human at all, although Emily was also a blonde and blue-eyed "foreigner", she had a deep understanding of the culture and background of the mysterious country from Yang Sheng. Because of Yang Sheng, she was able to look at some issues from the perspective of the people of the mysterious country.
For example, the mysterious country is not the country of the third brother where a maid has the body of a lady but the life of a lady and can get high on her own, or the group of strange creatures of Afrika Futurism. Before indicators such as per capita GDP and real disposable income reach affluence, the audience for the high-ranking young lady or the celestial beauty in distant or even mythological costume dramas is destined to be a niche.
This is very much in line with Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Before achieving their personal material values, most people in the mysterious country will not pursue spiritual needs that are detached from reality.
Even if Liu Yifei can rely on her talent and capital given by God to become famous until she is 40 or even older, she will still be just a secular entertainment character. She will be forgotten if she does not appear in the public eye for a few years. In fact, being a vase star with considerable income may be the ultimate goal pursued by many artists and many ordinary people. However, the pattern of "Time Traveler Entertainment" is at the atmospheric level, and Liu Yifei herself seems to have some ideas and is unwilling to be such a vase star.
Another reason is that the values pursued by the new mysterious country are somewhat different from those of the universal world.
The concept of the winner is king is very strong in European and American values. This is reflected in many film and television works, such as the "Game of Thrones" series. No matter what the process is, no matter what laws and morals are violated, the winner in the end is entitled to enjoy the happy ending of winning money and beauty (man).
