Chapter 166
Nothing else, but there are still plenty of fish.
After watching the video, Qi Cheng also wanted to eat dumplings. He had two melons at home, so he could make dumplings with egg and melon filling. Compared with the yellow mackerel dumplings, this one had a different kind of freshness.
Qi Cheng stretched at home, looked at the good weather outside, put on his clothes and planned to go out for a look. He had already visited most of the surrounding attractions.
I plan to go to the city for some fun.
He had just gotten off the bus when an older woman in a sweater approached him stealthily, pulled out a bottle from her pocket, and asked Qi Cheng if he wanted to buy some health supplements.
"These are all high-tech products. They're made from essential oils derived from deep-sea algae. We're having a promotion today, and a bottle only costs a thousand yuan."
Qi Cheng glanced at the aunt. Did a young and strong man like him need health supplements? Besides, if she said it was deep-sea fish oil, he might believe it.
Qi Cheng didn't believe a single word about this deep-sea algae.
"Young man, this is really good stuff. After eating it, you will be healthy and feel younger. You should try it and it will definitely work."
Qi Cheng turned around and left quickly. He himself had some social anxiety and didn't want to get entangled with this aunt.
Daqin
Looking at the anchor leaving, Qin Shi Huang was extremely anxious! It didn't matter if he tried this. If it really worked, he would immediately find a way to fish it out of the sea!
The alchemists who had asked him to make elixirs before had been sent to build the Great Wall, but he felt a little tired these days and urgently needed some nourishing food.
People in later generations all have fair and rosy skin, so they must have eaten something nourishing!
……
Qi Cheng sat down at a beach. After his aunt's promotion, he suddenly became interested in this kind of nourishing and health care, except for those pills that had no benefits.
What health products were there in ancient times?
He searched on Baidu and the first thing that came up was bird's nest, and the long-lived Emperor Qianlong was to blame for this, so this should indeed have some effect.
Bird’s nest is the saliva of cave bird’s nest.
Qin Shihuang looked at the sky carefully. Bird's nest was also available in the Qin Dynasty. After he unified the six kingdoms, he sent people to the south to collect it.
This is indeed a precious ingredient.
But he had never eaten bird's nest stewed with rock sugar, nor had he eaten bird's nest stewed with fat chicken and duck. He didn't have rock sugar at the moment, so he could only ask the kitchen to try stewing fat chicken with bird's nest.
I don't ask for too much, as long as I can live as long as Emperor Qianlong was in power.
Qing Dynasty
Emperor Yongzheng snorted heavily. Each of his meals consisted of only four small dishes, and his drinks were also simple, which was why such a large amount of silver was left in the palace.
I didn't expect this kid to have to eat bird's nest stewed with rock sugar every day. He is simply a spendthrift. If the superior likes something, the subordinates will follow suit. If he is so extravagant, the subordinates will definitely be even more extravagant.
……
Qi Cheng continued to check, and the second fruit that appeared was actually a common fruit, the common jujube. At this time, it is also said that jujube can replenish blood.
There is a kind of candied dates with donkey-hide gelatin now, and it tastes really good.
In ancient times, dates had a much higher status than they do today. Legend has it that dates were passed down from immortals all over the world and could prolong life and strengthen the body.
Moreover, during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, one of his Shaofu planted many jujube trees in Shanglin Garden, and sold the ripe jujubes, making a lot of money.
Another piece of evidence is in Journey to the West, where the king of the Bhikkhu Kingdom finally got a few dates from the God of Longevity to eat, so in the eyes of the ancients this was indeed the first choice for health care.
However, the dates in ancient times were dried dates, not the crispy dates of today. Eating too many of them might indeed make your stomach uncomfortable.
Qin Shihuang nodded. The records of dates were very early, and they were recorded in "The Book of Rites" and "The Book of History". It seems that the Qin Dynasty should plant more dates.
