Chapter 28 Inspecting the Porcelain Kilns of the Industry In the evening, Yan Jingsi took Li Zhen out of the house.
"Chang'an at night is really prosperous."
Li Zhenqi looked east and west on Benyin's neck, different from the prosperity of the heavenly palace in later generations, Chang'an at this time had more of the breath of the world, and the liveliness was even more explosive in later generations.
Yan Jingsi raised his head and said, "Now that the sun has just set, it is not the most lively time, and it will be even more lively when it is completely dark."
But there is a curfew at night, and every time I have to go back as soon as I get to Xingtou, it's really disappointing. ” Li Zhen also sighed, this is also a helpless thing, now that the Tang Dynasty has just been established, the Turkic enemy has not been eliminated, and there is no way to do it.
"Don't talk about this, my uncle will take you to eat something delicious."
"Delicious?"
Li Zhen's eyes lit up, as a senior foodie, she couldn't help but flow out when she heard the delicious saliva.
"That's right, although your food is not as delicious as Zhen'er, it also has a different flavor."
"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up, I can't wait."
"Zhen'er, you try this Hu Cake, the Hu Cake here is the best."
Yan Jingsi bought four or five Hu cakes and handed them to Li Zhen.
Hu cake is actually naan, and the Han cake food similar to Hu cake includes "baked cake", "oven cake", "hemp cake" and so on.
After the Han Dynasty controlled the Western Regions, sesame seeds and walnuts were introduced, adding new accessories to the production of cakes.
"It's really delicious, and there are walnuts in it."
Li Zhen took a bite, her eyes suddenly lit up, she put a lot of walnuts, and it was by no means just one or two crumbs like those 'conscience' merchants in later generations.
Yan Jingsi nodded in agreement: "Uncle's favorite food is this, as long as I have time, I will come here to buy a few Hu cakes to taste." ” "Eh, uncle, what's that?"
"Oh!
It's called biluo, and it's also a delicious one.
Let's go, Uncle will take you to taste it. ” "Oh."
饆饠, also written as "Biluo", is a kind of noodle dim sum with a filling heart.
It began in the Tang Dynasty, when Changxingfang in Chang'an had a gluttonous shop opened by the Hu people.
According to historical data, there are crab roe dumplings, cherry dumplings, smallpox dumplings, etc., which are very famous and are introduced from ethnic minority areas.
Li Zhen is now eating crab roe gluttony, and when she bites into it, the fragrance of crab roe and the fragrance of the baked cake are perfectly integrated, and Li Zhen's eyes lit up at that time.
Yan Jingsi saw Li Zhen's appearance and said proudly: "It's delicious, right?"
But don't eat so much, there will be something delicious in a while. ” "Uh-huh-hmm......"
Then Yan Jingsi took Li Zhen to eat a lot of food, but unfortunately the curfew was about to start soon, and Li Zhen could only reluctantly bring a large bag of food and follow Yan Jingsi home...... ......
The next day, Yan Jingsi originally wanted to continue to take Li Zhen out to play, but Li Zhen had no choice but to go to see the workshop that Li Shimin rewarded him, so he had no choice but to take Li Zhen out of the city.
First of all, there are two porcelain kilns, these two porcelain kilns are next to each other, each of them is huge, Li Zhen's heart is full of joy, his father really didn't pit himself, and it is not a problem for such a large two magnetic kilns to burn 10,000 pieces at a time.
After receiving Li Zhen's news, the stewards of the two porcelain kilns greeted them.
To Li Zhen's surprise, the stewards of these two porcelain kilns turned out to be eunuchs: "Dexiang, see Your Highness." ” "Get up."
"Your Highness."
Li Zhen walked in front in a big way, and the two eunuchs waited carefully, they had received the news that the emperor gave Li Zhen two porcelain kilns, which means that Li Zhen will be their master in the future, how can he be careless?
After walking for a while, Dexiang said: "Your Highness, it's too hot outside, let's go into the house, shall we?"
” "No, you don't."
Li Zhen can still stand this heat: "By the way, is there a kiln today?"
” "Your Highness, there is a porcelain kiln to be opened under the slave maid today."
Degui hurriedly said.
"Really, when?"
"Soon, if we rush over now, we should be able to catch up."
Degui counted the time and replied.
"So what are you waiting for, hurry up and lead the way."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Degui hurriedly led the way, he thought that Li Zhen was just having fun, but he didn't know that Li Zhen had his own plans in his heart.
On the way, Li Zhen began to teach Degui: "Degui, what is this kiln burning?"

” Degui replied cautiously: "Your Highness, the white porcelain burned in this kiln is full of daily necessities such as cups and teacups. ” "Yes, do you know how many kilns there are?"
"This slave knows that there are seven kilns on my side, and there are a little more kilns on Dexiang's side, there are nine kilns."
Li Zhen didn't ask any more questions, and after walking for a while, the group came to the front of a kiln: "Your Highness has arrived." ” At this time, there was already a group of people in front of the kiln, and one of the stewards saw Degui and immediately greeted him: "Oh, Manager Degui, Manager Dexiang, why are you here today?"
” Degui was so angry that he was going to die, what do you mean, didn't you see me accompanying your guests, what do you mean by why did you come today, how did you come before I didn't come, isn't this smearing me in front of His Royal Highness?
In fact, I don't blame this person in charge, Li Zhen is short, but he is still surrounded by everyone in the middle, how can you ask people to pay attention to him?
"Bold, don't you kneel down when you see His Royal Highness the Eight?"
Only then did the steward notice Li Zhen who was surrounded in the middle, and immediately said loudly: "Ouch, the Eighth Highness has come down, everyone come and pay a visit." ” "Hula."
A group of people suddenly surrounded him, making Li Ergou and Ben Yin and the others very nervous.
Finally waiting for everyone to see the end, Li Zhen said impatiently: "What other rituals?"
” Degui was about to speak, but Dexiang preemptively said: "Your Highness, you still need to sacrifice to the kiln god next, and only the porcelain that has been sacrificed to the kiln god will be better." ” Degui is so angry, you rob death?
"Let's get started."
"Your Highness, the sacrifice to the kiln god needs the highest status person to preside, you see......"
Li Zhen became interested: "And this rule?"
I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming. ” "Your Highness."
Degui was overjoyed: "Your Highness, you personally sacrifice to the kiln god, the kiln god will be happy, and this batch of porcelain will definitely be of the highest quality." ” The offering table has been set up, and there are three animals and four fruits on it, and it looks very rich.
The sacrificial ceremony is very simple, someone gave Li Zhen a manuscript paper in advance, and wrote a sacrificial text on it, Li Zhen read the sacrificial text to the statue of the kiln god, and took the incense to make a big gift to the end.
"The kiln is open."
With the shout of the steward Wu Ping, the potter who specializes in opening the kiln was fully dressed, carried the sagger containing ceramics out of the kiln, and then took the ceramics out of the sagger.
It is actually very boring to count, and you must be cautious, because the porcelain that has just come out of the kiln is not only hot, but also very brittle, and it will break if you are not careful.
Li Zhen was leisurely co-eating juice in a cool place, in fact, he wanted to go over to see the porcelain that had just come out of the kiln, but Dexiang and Degui desperately stopped him, the porcelain that had just come out of the kiln was too hot, in case he accidentally burned this master, then even if he had ten heads, it would not be enough for the emperor to cut it.
Li Zhen, who had no choice, had to tell the two of them to send them any porcelain with better condition.
"Whoop!!
The potter, who was quietly counting the porcelain, suddenly made a commotion, and everyone did not count the porcelain, but talked loudly about something around a person, and looked at himself from time to time.
This made Li Zhen a little inexplicable, and was about to let Li Ergou go over to have a look, when he saw Degui and Dexiang walking over to him excitedly holding a thing, and before the person arrived, the voice came first: "Great joy, Your Highness is very happy." ”
