"It's good for me to have a good time."

"Next comes the ink. You need to place the castor oil on the roof and let it air dry for six years until it becomes thick and stringy. Then take the appropriate amount of cinnabar and vermilion."
"Mix it with precious Chinese medicinal herbs such as pearl powder, musk, and borneol, then add printing ink and mix well. If you want a more beautiful color, you can add some gold foil."
"Finally, take out the dried lotus root, stretch it into velvety silk and mix it in. After stirring and beating it thousands of times, until all the ingredients are integrated."
"Finally, it is exposed to the sun for seven days and then dried in the shade for three months before it is considered ready."
宋朝
The scholars sighed. This thing was really difficult to make, and ordinary people couldn't make it even if they wanted to. The things inside were really precious.
It is said that the borneol is condensed from the breath exhaled by a giant python. How can they, with their weak arms and legs, get these medicinal herbs?
Qing Dynasty
Emperor Qianlong laughed and asked the eunuch to bring the ink. He particularly liked this kind of ink, which went especially well with the poems he wrote.
Complement each other.
……
Zhou Lu and Qi Cheng went to a shopping mall in the city, which was full of luxury goods of all sizes. Qi Cheng was not very familiar with the place and usually did not go to places like this.
It really opened Qi Cheng's eyes.
The cheapest clothes here cost four figures, and something that is slightly suitable for modern wear costs tens of thousands. There is also a wide variety of cosmetics.
Some of them I haven't even heard of.
Finally, Zhou Lu bought two nice watches here.
"We're already in the city, so let's not go out for some barbecue. Call my cousin and go to that place called the ceiling to try it."
Qi Cheng knew what place he was talking about. He had only heard about the food there online, so he didn't really know what it tasted like.
Actually, Shandong cuisine is a kind of luxury. The broth used includes whole chicken, whole duck, as well as bones and pork elbows.
There are also things like shark fin and bird's nest, which are relatively precious ingredients.
In ancient times, only officials could afford to eat these things.
The three of them had a big meal in the restaurant. This was also Qi Cheng's first time to eat a meal that cost four figures per table, and the taste was indeed a little different.
After eating and drinking, the three of them found a place to play ball.
The three of them played until very late last night before going home. Zhou Lu's boat was undergoing maintenance these days, so he had time to come and play with Qi Cheng.
Qi Cheng was still on the National Day holiday, so staying up late was no big deal for him. At most he just had to sleep a little longer in the morning.
After getting up at around nine o'clock, Qi Cheng tidied up a little and asked the system to quickly recruit people. After answering the questions, he wanted to go out and play somewhere else.
"Zhao Defang of the Song Dynasty."
Zhao Kuangyin slammed the table happily. Although he didn't get it, it was okay if his son got it, not to mention that his son was right next to him.
"Ask, why is it your second uncle who led the Northern Expedition?"
Zhao Defang secretly curled his lips. His father was really overbearing and didn't even ask himself what his problem was.
He wanted to ask if there were any other things similar to perfume and soap. The throne would definitely belong to his eldest brother Zhao Dezhao, so he could make money by selling these things.
After asking, he asked his father to "compensate" him with a little money.
"This section of your history is quite confusing. Let me start by saying, have you ever heard of something called the Golden Casket Alliance?" Qi Cheng paused. "I'm guessing there definitely isn't, otherwise you wouldn't be asking this question."
Oh my god! There's a big melon!
The dynasties after the Song Dynasty already understood what was going on, but those before the Song Dynasty all stared wide-eyed, ready to watch the show.
"The so-called Golden Casket Alliance refers to the fact that when Empress Dowager Du was seriously ill, she felt that the ruler was weak and the ministers were strong during the Five Dynasties period. She summoned the then Prime Minister Zhao Pu to write a letter requesting that your father pass the throne to Zhao Guangyi, then to Zhao Guangmei, and then to Zhao Dezhao after Zhao Guangmei's death."
