"My dear friend, this dear friend, please tell me again the basic principles of the golden section and the absolute realm."
"Brother, this one needs to be exposed and meaty. The legs are thin and long, and the meat must be lightly pinched. Is that how it is?"
"Senior, senior, you must come and sit in my house. My family has raised many Anxi and Tianzhu Orchid. When the time comes, I will teach them how to dress and taste them together?"
"To be honest, senior, I am good at this and have made a lot of money over the years. Senior has inspired me a lot. I also ask senior to stay here. I have more things to ask for in the future."
Geng Shui, who had become a fun-loving person, almost always asked for advice on the spot with pen and paper in hand, without any basic awareness of communicating in a simple way. But fortunately, Jiang Tian also found out through him that there was actually another kind of benefit left by the senior time traveler in this world; stockings called stocking bags.
Yes, they are stockings, but they are not made of nylon but made of extremely fine silk spun from a small silkworm species in the South that was almost eliminated. The fabric is called silk stockings. This kind of gauze is also extremely light and transparent. It is known as a special fabric with five layers of clothing where flesh can be seen. (The prototype can be seen in the plain gauze robe unearthed in Mawangdui, Changsha)
It is also because this kind of silk yarn can be patterned and colored in advance, and then overlapped and worn together (such as the twelve single prototypes of ancient neon), revealing a brilliant cloud-like appearance, with multiple illusions of color changing at different angles. The effect, therefore, has always been one of the traditional tributes offered to the royal family by the South China Sea.
But after it was in the hands of this senior time traveler, it was delayed by all kinds of extravagant activities. Therefore, although the current silk yarn is still a tribute to the imperial court, its production capacity has increased many times, and it has become a kind of private and intimate product exclusively for wealthy people, upper class society, and even Jiaofangsi.
Therefore, to this day, rare and valuable items are still sold exclusively by the imperial court and cannot be seen in ordinary markets and private households. Hearing this, Jiang Tian couldn't help but sigh, it was indeed poverty that limited his vision and imagination. I must find a way to make up lessons and study hard on Shun Qing and Ming Fei when I go back.
He was so engrossed in it that he left everyone else aside. Even Kodak, who seemed to be the most heartless, couldn't bear it anymore and quickly dragged him aside. Then he explained to Jiang Tian:
"Sir, please don't be offended. This boy is a weirdo in his family, but he is still a weirdo with some achievements. But he is much more popular than I am;"
"The ancestors of the Geng family were originally destined to be great craftsmen, but later because they built many useful tools for the imperial court, they were transferred from being a state-affiliated craftsman to a regular official in the Ministry of Industry. This can be regarded as an anecdote back then."
"Later, Geng Shangshu's father began to study the use of torture instruments and weapons; he contributed a lot in the expansion of foreign lands, and was appointed as a member of the Ministry of Punishment, Wai Lang. This also established the origin of Geng's family in the Ministry of Punishment today."
"However, as the firstborn son of the eldest son, this guy has no intention of inheriting the family business. He has been claiming that the equipment used to build the house is too dull and lacks aesthetics, so he has to find another way out."
"At that time, various things like climbing walls and jumping into ditches were happening. His family really couldn't control it, and they felt that although this kind of hobby was not very elegant, it was better than imitating other people's tricks and staying up all night. good;"
"So I gave him a sum of money regularly and let him go. As a result, this kid actually made something. Although it was not on the market, it was real money and silver. His net worth is richer than everyone here. Woolen cloth."
"This time, the elder of the family has been asked to take him out and do some activities. Otherwise, he will still be hiding in his garden, hanging out with all the shameless Hu Ji!"
At this time, a brief horn blast came from outside the temporary camp again. I saw a cavalry team approaching. Everyone was wearing big-crotch scarf shirts and military bean crowns, and their movements showed a capable style that had been in the army for a long time. Seeing this, Kodakya couldn't help but explain: "This is the East Palace Guards who were specially invited by the family to maintain the scene."
It turns out that this time it was a private event led by several families in Beijing. However, through their respective relationships and channels, they seconded You Qing Dao Lv (Regiment), one of the ten leaders of the Three Prefectures, under the name of Donggong: to maintain order and protect the whole place; there are also some powerful people in each team. Or he has a bear's waist and a tiger's back, and his every move and every move has the aura of a military follower.
As the sun warmed up in the wind, there was a slight feeling of heat. The horns that officially started the safari were blown one after another; people kept running out of the camp one after another. However, it was Jiang Tian's first time to participate in a similar activity, so he, together with Kodakya and others who claimed that they had not relaxed their muscles in several years, temporarily acted as spectators following the team.
It was the turn of spring and summer, but mosquitoes and flies had begun to show their power. Therefore, most people wore riding shirts with arrow sleeves that were light and loose and could be easily tightened at the hands and feet; they also applied juice mixed with artemisia annua and pyrethrum on their heads and faces; they also lit insect repellent in the camp. Incense was coiled; realgar and ash products were scattered to block out snakes and insects.
Then, followed by the mounted retinue and the slaves running on foot, they began to carry hunting nets, hunting traps, lasso poles and zip lines, as well as whips specially used to scare and drive away prey; The dogs took off the lead rope and collar, roared loudly and flew away in the dust; like a wild goose spreading its wings, they galloped out from the two wings.
After leaving the road and entering the wilderness, this horse showed that it was well-trained and stable; it could always maintain a relatively constant speed and closely follow the large group of people; it did not use Jiang Tian's power at all. By giving orders and urging, some ups and downs will be naturally avoided; only some simple fine-tuning of direction is required.
In the terms of riding and cutting, this is an excellent hunting and traveling horse. Therefore, riding on the ups and downs of the horse, feeling the hot wind, flying dust and mud, and the fragrance of trampled grass and trees; but unlike in the garden, I can't let go of my full strength and can only trot around the pond to warm up. Completely different feelings and mood.
What's more, there are many young women in the group, wearing riding skirts with open hems, or simply wearing men's clothing with light shirts and uncut hair. Therefore, when the horse is galloping lightly, the rough and sizable body curves of various ages can't help but be accompanied by the rippling waves, the ups and downs of the mountains, and the unique flavor of the singing of birds and swallows.
Well, it was indeed an authentic safari. Everyone chatted and laughed while riding their horses at a trot, waiting for their specialized followers and trained servants; they disturbed the dormant and hidden birds and beasts in the waist-deep weeds, shrubs, and large and small woodlands; and they talked to each other. In response, they were deliberately driven away and fled toward the center.
Then, he almost ran into the crowd in the middle. I saw them holding exquisite hunting bows, tip bows and short-horned bows in perfect condition, and shooting arrows one after another. From time to time, prey screamed and fell to the ground after being hit by arrows. The hounds that were chasing and surrounding them pounced and bit them, and the hawks and falcons that were let go and fluttered their wings high into the sky were caught, killed and pecked down one after another.
It can be described as a lively scene of "the falcon flutters its brocade wings and falls in the clouds, and the dog flies up with golden bell grass" ("Watching Hunting" by Weizhuang of Tang Dynasty). And Jiang Tian finally understood why the well-hydrated old man Shi Quan in later generations had a record of three hundred rabbits. Because there are retinues and servants constantly driving the prey in front of you, you can still hit something even if you make random gestures with your crossbow arrows.
When some vegetation is deep, most hounds are unable to climb or drill into the hiding places of the roaring birds and beasts. It's the turn of these cats, who have been pampered in saddles and carriages, to start showing off their skills. All I could hear were the flutes and whistles coming and going, and these cats, large and small, sprang out one after another.
Then, amid the swaying leaves of the climbing and fleeing trees, the sound of biting and the short whine, large and small struggling prey or corpses were picked out one after another; some were colorful tits, chicks, and sometimes Cave pikas and the like, sometimes badgers and raccoon dogs, muntjacs and roe deer; even a few small monkeys.
Of course, due to so many years of cleaning up around Gyeonggi, there are actually not many wild beasts that can be encountered in the wild; especially tigers and leopards are almost gone. That is to say, there are still some carnivores such as jackals and foxes that reproduce quickly and are relatively tenacious; or large herbivores such as wild boars, deer, and gazelles.
Therefore, among these prey, the ones that pose the greatest threat to humans are the wild boars that have been driven out in droves; especially the large adult wild boars, which ordinary bows and arrows may not be able to shoot through because their skin is covered with soil and resin cement. On the contrary, it is easy to irritate these wild beasts, and the pigs rush over with their fangs out regardless.
If you accidentally fail to dodge, you will be overturned with both people and horses, or the horse's legs will be broken, the horse's belly or people's feet will be broken, and there will be a probability of injury or death. Therefore, every appearance of a large wild boar is almost the focus of the scene and the center of encirclement and driving; even well-trained hunting dogs will not rush forward to bite;
Instead, they cooperated with their masters to drive and frighten them in batches, chasing and blocking them until they were exhausted from running. Only then did they have net-wielding followers who were specialized hunters, and used several hunting nets to entangle and trap them at the same time, restraining them. After gaining the ability to move, special steel forks and spears will be used to stab his chest, neck and back spine, and then he will be able to accomplish the feat in one fell swoop.
Therefore, the size and number of wild boars that can be hunted on each safari are almost the ceiling for all kinds of prey. But this time it seemed a bit unexpected. After walking around for a long time, foxes, badgers and deer all harvested one after another, but they never encountered even a slightly larger wild boar.
Although the team of the Koda Ya family did not adopt the trap of hunting cats, they did raise a group of flowers with long legs, slender waists, pointed mouths, long ear corridors, flowing heads, necks, and limbs, and long ribbon-like downy flowers. Brindle hound. They were divided into groups of three to five, large and small, and hurried away and bit like the wind amidst the orders from their followers.
Just sitting on horseback, looking at the chasing eagles and dogs, and the scurrying wild animals such as wolves and rats. Occasionally, Jiang Tian would have some kind of illusion; that kind of predatory appetite and sense of accomplishment inherited from ancient times, being at the top of the food chain; he suddenly understood why people at home and abroad like this kind of activity in ancient and modern times.
Therefore, on the cart riding from behind, a lot of freshly-stained prey was quickly piled up, mainly smaller rabbits, foxes, and wild ducks; occasionally there was also a slightly larger badger (猹) and Gray Goose. However, because they had just spent a short time in the winter, these wild animals were still quite thin and their coat color was not good-looking.
Therefore, except for larger pigs and deer, most of the game animals that are hunted are rarely cooked directly. Instead, the fur and other objects are peeled off and slightly processed as a souvenir of the hunting trip; other parts Naturally, people from nearby military villages will come to collect and deal with the aftermath. Make sure everything is put to its best use and nothing is wasted.
In fact, many people in the local military villages are working part-time, providing corresponding hunting services to these dignitaries from the capital. This not only makes a little extra money, but also prevents them from accidentally trampling on the crops; and they can also regularly Eliminate a group of birds and beasts that may repopulate and damage crops and livestock. It can be said that it kills several birds with one stone.
Li Huan, the leader of the hunting retinue of the Kodak Ya family, is a former border guard; he is also the current leader of the patrol/forest team of the nearby Fubing Village, known as "Junzhuang". His usual task is to patrol the mountains and forests, prevent illegal logging beyond the needs of livelihood, and detect the traces of wild animals. He can be considered a veteran.
Because it was the Cold Food Festival, there was no fire to cook at noon; instead, the slaves who followed in the car brought cold food. For example, high-calorie foods such as paste rings (fried pancakes), jushengnu (twisted twists), biluo (baked pies), and cakes (sweet snacks) that have been cooked the night before; eating directly on the horse is regarded as half-time. Satisfied.
At this time, there was a sound of barking and calling from far and near in front. I saw a fiery red figure flying across the long grass and dense bushes, rushing straight towards the group of Koda Ducks. The next moment, I heard Koda Duck's hissing screams full of surprise. road:
"It's a rare red fox!"
"Try your best to catch me alive!"
"As long as I keep it until winter, I can make a good scarf for my sister."
Before Kodak Duck could finish his words, the servants and slaves gathered nearby were also rushing to hold long-handled net bags and poles, cooperating with each other to chase and intercept, and kept swooping down in response. Then, both the Shen brothers and sisters, as well as Bai Duolu, ordered their servants to catch up and join in the fun.
