Emperor Xiaoyao of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 91 Requisition
Jin Yu, who is also in Chang'an, is of course not in the arrangement of Li Er and his wife for him, he is still immersed in tension and joy, because today he is going to Qin Qiong's house to give a bride price!

Jin Yu made an appointment with Cheng Huaimo on the time and place, and after they got together, they went to Qin Qiong's mansion together.When Jin Yu drove there, Cheng Yaojin and his son hadn't arrived yet, Jin Yu heaved a sigh of relief, and finally rushed ahead.

Yesterday, Chen Rui found some strong laborers from the construction site to prepare for carrying the bride price today.Jin Yu didn't prepare much, just some furniture and some newly made food.

The people on the side of the road pointed at the furniture, which was very novel.Nazheng has seen many of them, but this is the first time he has seen such a strange gift.

Cheng Yaojin also came very quickly and did not keep Jin Yu waiting.The horse is tall and big, and the horseshoes knocked on the bluestone road. It seems that the horseshoes have been used. There is a high saddle under the buttocks, and the straight waist looks more heroic.There is also a bride price tied with red silk behind her, but it is packed in a box, and the contents cannot be seen.

"Gui Tang's betrothal gift is really novel!" Cheng Yaojin had already experienced the comfort of the bamboo chair, looked at the strange looking furniture painted in brown red paint in front of him, sniffed, and did not blame Jin Yu, otherwise I slapped him a long time ago, what is the reason?Not following etiquette!Who sent such a weird thing?

"Greetings to Uncle Cheng." Jin Yu dismounted, ignoring Cheng Huaimo who was winking at him.

"Let's go! Go to your father-in-law's house and say hello!" Cheng Yaojin waved his hand, and said "father-in-law", Jin Yu's old face flushed, Cheng Huaimo covered his mouth and snickered, this father is so talented, it seems that Cheng Huaimo wants to Learn a lot.

"Uncle Cheng, please." Jin Yu couldn't be as knowledgeable as Cheng Yaojin, so he secretly glanced at Cheng Huaimo, and told Chen Rui to follow Cheng's team before getting on his horse and going with Cheng Yaojin.

After the Cheng and Jin families carried the bride price to the courtyard of the Qin Mansion, Qin Qiong ordered the servants: "Call Madam to come out and have a look, see if you can enter Madam Fayan."

What Qin Qiong said made Jin Yu's heart twitch, what if he didn't like it?

The inventory of dowry gifts started from the old Cheng's house. There were not many kinds of things, but there were too many of them.Looking at Jin Yu, his heart trembled.The reason is that it is too expensive. It seems that the Cheng family really has the same specifications as Cheng Huaimona.One thousand taels of gold; 6000 taels of silver; three shops facing the street, the kind with two floors above and below; eight hundred pieces of brocade and silk; two thousand pieces of miscellaneous silk.

"I can barely see it." After counting, Qin Qiong nodded in satisfaction, but didn't say anything better.

"It's good to be able to get into the eyes of the elder brother." Cheng Yaojin knew his elder brother's temper, and he didn't take it seriously, but Lao Cheng knew in his heart that not many people can get so much money these days. When accepting a levy, there is only a lot more.

"Look at what Guitang has prepared." Qin Qiong ignored Cheng Yaojin and walked towards the bride price prepared by Jinyu.

"Why such a strange shape? Guitang! Come and talk about it." Qin Qiong saw Jinyu's imitation furniture from later generations, but couldn't understand, frowned, and ordered.

"Yes." Jin Yu saluted, and assigned someone to untie the ropes tied to the furniture one by one, and put them in order.

"This is the washbasin stand. A washbasin can be squatted on it. It can be easily reached by bending over. It is convenient and labor-saving. The small square box on the top is for soap, and the top is ``````"

"Further up is the bronze mirror, the old man saw it. But what is this soap?" Qin Qiong is really a responsible father now. Although Jin Yu and Yang Ying have long been engaged, he still wants to see Jin Yu. Yu in the end with no intention.

"This is soap." Hearing what his future father-in-law said, Jin Yu quickly found out the soap as a bride price, handed it to Lao Qin, and explained: "It's for washing your face, and it's also good for bathing. The decontamination ability is much better than saponins."

"This is really a good thing. A few days ago, this brat asked Gui Tang for two yuan. The old ash that I haven't washed for many years can be washed off." Cheng Yaojin likes this thing very much, it is not greasy after washing , feeling refreshed and had a nice word for Jin-woo.

"Okay, this one has passed, what about the next one?" Qin Qiong nodded in satisfaction after listening to Cheng Yaojin's explanation, and handed the soap to Qin Jiashi who was beside her to check.

"This is called a 'dressing table', and the small grid on it puts some rouge jewelry and the like, and this bronze mirror is used for dressing up." Jin Yu pointed to the exquisitely crafted dressing table and said.

"Try it old man." Qin Jiashi is a practical person at first glance, it is useless to say that it is useless, and you will know it after you try it.Sitting on it for an interview, don’t tell me, it’s very convenient and much easier to use than the dressing table at home. He said with satisfaction, “Guitang has put his heart into it. I’m very satisfied with this dressing table.”

"Thank you, Aunt Qin, for the compliment." Jin Yu was afraid to hear Qin Jia's dissatisfaction, and after hearing Qin Jia's satisfaction, he continued to explain, "This is the dining table. The last time Uncle Qin and Uncle Cheng went to my nephew's house This is what I use every now and then, the small table above can be rotated, as long as the dishes are placed on the edge of the small table, every dish can be served by turning the small table without getting up."

"This one is really good, it counts as a pass, and the next one." Qin Qiong nodded while stroking his beard.

Jin Yu said in his heart, can he be dissatisfied?I used about a dozen steel balls that I brought, and steel balls can't be made, so I used one less and one less.

"This is a recliner. I put it in a cool place in summer. It is very comfortable to lie on. With this folding fan, even a god would not change it." Jin Yu picked up the folding fan and introduced: "This folding fan can be folded and you can carry it with you. It’s also easy to carry, and a sachet of ice flakes can be hung on the bottom, which can also have a refreshing effect. If some flowers and plants are painted on the fan, it will be more elegant if you ask a famous person to mention it.”

"I like this!" Qin Huaiyu snatched the folding fan from Jin Yu's hand, tossed it over and over again, unable to put it down.

Qin Qiong frowned at Qin Huaiyu's behavior, but he didn't say anything while guarding so many people. On the contrary, Qin Jia saw that his son liked it and said, "This one counts as a pass, what about the next one?"

"This is a closet. You can hang a clothes rail on the stick above. The clothes stay on it so they won't lose their shape or wrinkle. You can put some bedding and the like in the space below." Jin Yu pointed to a standing box Said.

"Well, it's really practical. It's easier to use than a suitcase." Qin Jia lived at home, and the old man Qin Qiong didn't necessarily pay attention to these things, but it didn't mean that Qin Jia didn't know.

"This is a bed with a mattress on it, which is soft and warm, and can also insulate moisture, which is especially good for Uncle Qin's body." Jin Yu pointed to the bed and continued: "My nephew also comes with a pan soil The method of kang, after heating, it will be warm when entering the bed, no need to warm the bed, especially suitable for use in winter."

"You really know how to enjoy it, kid." Qin Qiong shook his head and said with emotion, the meaning in the words did not deny Jin Yu's invention.

"Thank Uncle Qin for the compliment." Jin Yu scratched his head, smiled, and pointed to a large piece of wooden pier carved and ground from tree roots, and said, "This is a tea set. A small stove can boil water. This stool sits It is more comfortable than sitting with legs together, and no matter how long the time is, the feet will not be numb."

"This is good, and the tea made in the Tang Dynasty is really delicious." Qin Qiong never forgot to taste the tea made by Jinyu, otherwise she would not have given Yang Ying a tea garden as a dowry.

"Hey, my nephew also brought some tea for Uncle Qin this time. There are also some cakes and everything, all made in a hurry overnight." The furniture is basically introduced. Listening to the meaning of Qin Qiong's words, it is considered a pass, Jin Yu is very happy.

"Stinky boy, how did the old man smell so sweet when you came here, so you are playing tricks!" Cheng Yaojin scolded with a smile, and asked: "Don't you know that food can't be used as a bride price?"

"Uh``````I don’t know.” Jin Yu was embarrassed, he really didn’t know about this, how could relatives in later generations not bring some snacks?
"Okay, don't embarrass Gui Tang. After all, you put your heart into it. Just eat the dim sum. Isn't it the most delicious for you after a while?" Qin Qiong smoothed things over for Jin Yu.

"My nephew is still carrying some knives, can't he?" Jin Yu didn't expect to make such a mistake when he arrived, so he asked cautiously.

"What knife? Take a look." Qin Qiong was a little surprised. Can this kid know how to forge knives?Especially in the era of cold weapons, how can a good martial artist not be good at swords?So when Qin Qiong heard about the knife, he felt a little anxious.

"Yes." Jin Yu took out a box with a dozen or so knives standing upright.

After opening the box, Qin Qiong reached out and took out a bone-chopping knife. He thought it was a war knife, but he was a little disappointed, but the feeling of using it and his fingers brushing the edge of the knife told him that it was a rare and good knife.

Jin Yu introduced them one by one: "This is scissors, easy to hold and easy to use; this is a kitchen knife, which is especially useful for cutting vegetables; this is a boning knife, which can cut meat off the bone; this is a bone chopping knife. , chop meat without rolling the blade; this is ``````"

Qin Qiong interrupted Jin Yu's introduction, turned around and told Cheng Yaojin, "Take out your knife and chop at this knife!"

Cheng Yaojin understood what Qin Qiong meant, and without any hesitation, he drew out the knife and slashed at the knife in Qin Qiong's hand.Amid the exclamation of everyone, there was a "click", and Cheng Yaojin's knife snapped.

"Prodigal stuff! How can you use such a good steel for a kitchen knife?" Cheng Yaojin asked, looking at his broken knife, and then at the broken bone knife.

"Uh``````" Jin Yu really didn't think about making a knife, because no matter how good a knife is these days, it's not as good as his own special saber.

"Where did this steel come from?" Qin Qiong asked Jin Yu as he weighed the bone-chopping knife in his hand.

"I made it myself." Jin Yu replied truthfully.

"Take out the method of making steel and pass the test!" Qin Qiong said firmly.
