Chapter 208 Ancient Stones and Writings

In the past, such fresh grapefruits were rewards only available to high-ranking officials.

They don't even have the right to smell it.

There are so many in the snowy and icy north? And they all look like they were just picked from the trees.

But where do the trees come from in a place like this?
"Where did this come from?" Uncle Zhou asked habitually.

Is it a tribute they can eat?!
"Don't worry about where it comes from, do you want it?" Shen You looked at Liu Yunyan.

Liu Yunyan nodded quickly and repeated it three times, "Yes, yes, yes!"

Seeing Shen You took out two and wanted to let them taste them first, Liu Yunyan took over the job of peeling the fruit and peeled it in no time and put it on the table.

I gave everyone two slices. This pomelo not only looks fresh, but also tastes juicy and has a rich fruity aroma.

“I never thought that one day we would be able to eat tribute!”

Several veterans ate the dish happily and praised it, saying that it was worthy of being a tribute and was delicious.

"Oh my god, this one is still red, so sweet!"

Several soldiers guarding outside the door also received some, and looked at each other with joy. They had to follow the general to see the master before they could get food!
I'm afraid even the emperor has never eaten red pomelo.

This is what everyone thinks in their hearts but dares not say out loud.

"How much do these cost?" Liu Yunyan was also stunned. "Are you really giving it to us?"

This is a good thing, the peel can be used as medicine.

"Just leave the bag next to it for me. You can take the rest. They are not expensive. If you want to use the peels as medicine and boil water, remember to soak and scrub them with salt first. There is enough salt in the supplies I give you in the morning." Shen You said with a smile.

If there is still something to dig up later, she will have to work alone until the end of time.

"I remember you like fried chicken. Wait a moment, I'll serve it to you. There are also some vegetables as a thank you for your help just now."

Shen You held her phone and spoke while ordering takeout.

"No, Manager Shen, you have transported so many supplies to us and helped us fight off the foreigners. This small favor is really not worth mentioning. How can I ask you for a thank you gift?"

Uncle Zhou said embarrassedly.

The other two veterans also responded.

"It's okay. Who knows, I might need your help in the future." Shen You clicked to confirm and paid.

Soon, the things were delivered and Shen You went out of the garage to get them.

Only then did everyone see that the two doors in her side room were connected.

Ordinary people pay attention to gathering energy, but this house is connected on both sides, what kind of energy can be gathered?

The conclusion is that the masters have no taboos in Feng Shui and have unique insights.

Shen You herself doesn't know that her image has been beautified to this extent. She knows nothing about feng shui and just does whatever is convenient.

The ceramic jar for raising koi fish in front of the partition door was placed there by someone who understands feng shui in the antique street.

Shen You brought back several large bags of food, and Liu Yunyan hurried over to help her carry them to the pavilion in the yard.

There are fried chicken sets and grilled lamb skewers here. We also ordered a few large bowls of fried rice and lamb bone soup at the skewers shop.

The best food in the North is freshly grilled meat.

Since the food shortage, the generals who used to be able to eat one meal a month could no longer eat.

The dishes they ordered didn't have any chili in them, but the grilled skewers and fried noodles she ordered were both medium spicy.

After opening the bag and seeing the fragrant lamb skewers, Uncle Zhou and the others could no longer say politely no.

I don’t know what seasonings were added to these barbecued meats, but they are so fragrant. The soup is milky white, and there is fried rice.

Oil is a precious commodity for ordinary people and the harsh northern lands, and people are usually reluctant to use it.

Look at the fried rice in the box, each grain of rice is shiny and plump, with eggs and chopped green onions. In the north, you don't dare to eat like this, it's too luxurious.

They only ate one skewer of lamb and were reluctant to eat it, so they wanted to take it back for their colleagues to try.

"This bottle contains malt liquor from the Western Regions. It's not intoxicating, but it's best not to drink it if you're injured. Drinking too much is bad for your stomach and intestines, and it can't be used to wash wounds."

Washing wounds with low-alcohol liquor can easily cause infection.

They were given gastrointestinal medicine in the morning. Before Shen You came, many soldiers had gastrointestinal problems due to cold.

All the medicines she gave me were effective.

Shen You gave them a bottle opener. In ancient times, after a victory in a battle, soldiers would be rewarded with wine.

The alcohol content of wine in ancient times was not high, only a few degrees.

The wine brewed by Da Qi has a similar alcohol content to beer. It is mostly fermented and has a turbid color, so it is called turbid wine.

There are also relatively expensive distilled liquors that most people cannot afford.

"The Molotov cocktail is made of wine?" Liu Yunyan suddenly realized when she heard that the glass bottle was a wine vessel.

Shen You shook her head, "No, the wine in the bottle is not flammable."

Alcohol or oil alone is not enough, but other things need to be added, and the proportions and specific procedures are very particular.

Liu Yunyan: "Then we are relieved."

They didn't dare drink the supplies used to defend against the enemy.

"This wine cannot be placed in a place that is too cold, or the bottle will explode." Shen You reminded again.

No one had ever drunk wine brewed with malt, so Shen You gave them disposable paper cups and demonstrated how to open the bottle. Liu Yunyan tasted half a cup first.

Comments: "The wine is clear and tastes a bit strange, but it's good."

Uncle Zhou also wanted to drink, but Liu Yunyan stopped him, "Your injuries haven't healed yet, didn't you hear Shopkeeper Shen say you can't drink!"

"I'll just take a sip and taste it." Uncle Zhou tried to negotiate, his eyes drifting to the cup.

"No! Wait until you get better, this is a military order!"

Liu Yunyan turned to Shen You again.

"It's going to be windy and snowy soon. We'll go back first and not disturb your rest. If anything happens, you can give a signal and the person on duty at night will notify me immediately if he sees it."

Liu Yunyan originally wanted to leave a firework signal, but Shen You said it was not necessary, as foreigners would also recognize Da Qi's firework signal.

She has big fireworks here that are guaranteed to shock foreigners.

After hearing what Shen You said, Liu Yunyan became a little curious about what kind of fireworks could shock people.

After they left with their things, Shen You sat in the store, watching the snowflakes gradually floating outside, ate two skewers, and picked up a flashlight to look at the two broken stone slabs beside the wall.

The patterns are discontinuous, and they are from the same kind of stone, so they should be part of the same building.

Looks so ancient.
She doesn't have the conditions to do carbon 14 testing here.

Shen You recalled the history books of the Great Qi Dynasty that he had read. The period when bronze inscriptions were used was at least a thousand years away from the present Great Qi Dynasty, and as far back as more than three thousand years.

There are no written records from more than 3,000 years ago, only some stories circulating among the people.

The modern bronze inscriptions and oracle bone inscriptions appeared in the same period, but there is currently no accurate evidence as to which one is older.

I only recognize a few of the words on this stone. The one with a person stepping on an arc is the king.

This is a relatively easy character to recognize, and the rest are traces of time's wear and tear and a broken edge.

It can be as abstract as you want.

I looked at the water marks left by washing the mud for a long time, and my eyes hurt. I could barely recognize the word "Yue", which also refers to the mountain god.

It looks more like a relic, an ancient city, an ancient country.
