Wei and Jin Cooks

  The clam shells that can be made into strings of beads are generally fossil clam clam shells, which are formed after thousands of years of precipitation. Pure white is common, but there are not many pure whites that are almost jade-like.

  In modern times, such trilliums are precious, let alone in this era.

  The difficulty of picking, transportation, and craftsmanship all make this bracelet valuable.

   Zhao Hanzhang looked at Zhao Erlang, "You just took this one?"

   Zhao Erlang: "Only this one."

   He took out his hidden gem from his arms and stuffed it to Fu Tinghan, "Brother-in-law, give the bracelet to my sister, this is for you."

  Fu Tinghan was stuffed with seven or eight gems and had to have two hands to hold it. He was surprised, "I have it too?"

"Yes," Zhao Erlang happily counted the remaining gems, "I like shiny things the most, these gems are all beautiful, and my brother-in-law will also ask the blacksmith to give me a short blade, and then I will have the gems inlaid. On top, it's bright and shiny, and it's bound to look good."

   Set gems on the knife, what kind of aesthetic is this?

Zhao Hanzhang had already recovered, she rolled the string around her hand twice, and said, "Give me the gem, and I will let Ting He make it for you. Since you like gems, you can use two gems to make the hook. ."

Zhao Hanzhang looked at him up and down, and then set it on his hair, "Although you are not yet crowned champion, you are now not only the county governor of a country, but also the army commander. You should be more mature. I will ask the craftsman to make you a few hairdos. Crown, set these gems on you."

   "It's better than putting it on a knife," she said, "Aren't you afraid that the knife will bleed when you go to battle?"

   "I don't use a short blade when I go to the battlefield, I just don't use a long spear, I also use a big knife."

   "Then what are you doing with a short blade?"

   "It looks good," Zhao Erlang said, comparing his waist: "When the time comes, it will be hung on the scorpion, just like the jade pendant on the waist of the brother-in-law and the bracelet on the hand of the sister."

   The child has used the short blade as jewelry.

  Fu Tinghan didn't think there was anything wrong with it, so he replied with a smile, "I'll go back and design it for you, and let the blacksmith call it for you."

   He and Zhao Hanzhang said: "There's nothing wrong with this, everyone has their own hobbies."

   "Thank you brother-in-law!" Zhao Erlang said loudly, and said to Zhao Hanzhang, "Sister, I brought you a box of jewelry, which I confiscated."

   He pulled the two of them to see.

   Zhao Hanzhang just thought about it now, "This box is the one that was confiscated, so these..."

   Zhao Hanzhang looked at the bracelet in his hand, and then at the gemstone in Fu Tinghan's hand.

   Zhao Erlang proudly said: "I hid it all secretly, and General Bei Gong didn't find it at all."

   Zhao Hanzhang didn't know whether to praise him or correct his behavior.

   She paused and then praised: "Well done, next time you hide it, you can hide it more secretly. Also, there are some things you can hide, and some things you can't hide. Do you have to tell my sister if you hide it?"

When    was praised, Zhao Erlang became happy and nodded vigorously.

   Zhao Hanzhang touched his head, "You have been tired for a day, go back and rest, and tell Mr. Xie about this. The spoils you bring back should be divided, and the ones that should be included in the book..."

   Zhao Erlang was puzzled, "Why do you have to divide it up? Isn't it all mine? Didn't my sister say that she would use the spoils to buy food and grass?"

   Zhao Hanzhang smiled and explained softly: "We have to buy food and grass, but we should also share some of it."

She said: "Whether it's on the battlefield or on weekdays to suppress bandits, everyone ties their heads to the belts of their trousers and follows you desperately. When the days are hard, everyone only asks for one bite, so there is no shortage of food and grass, and the soldiers can follow us desperately;"

   "But life is better, we can't just give food, we should give them some rewards if they have income," Zhao Hanzhang said: "The rewards can be official positions or money."

"And the ultimate purpose of the official position is actually to get more money and make life better," Zhao Hanzhang said: "So after each war, as long as we have spare capacity, we must first ensure the pensions for the casualties, and then the A reward for the meritorious."

"You can't rely on Mr. Xie for all these things, and you should know it in your heart. This time the reward is up to you," Zhao Hanzhang said: "Go back and discuss with Mr. Xie how much you should give to reward the soldiers, and then you can hand them out. , by then you will understand why Sister A said that."

   Zhao Erlang was coaxed back to the city with a confused look on his face, and when he left, he forgot to hand over the gems in his arms to Fu Tinghan to inlay the sword.

  As soon as Zhao Erlang left, Zhao Hanzhang looked down at the bracelet wrapped in his hand, "Is this a rosary?"

   Fu Tinghan nodded, "It should be."

   Zhao Hanzhang touched and touched, "It's so beautiful."

   That's what she said, she still took off the bracelet and gave it to Ting He, "Put it away, find a box and put it away carefully."

  Fu Tinghan turned his head and glanced, "Why don't you wear it if you like it?"

   "It's not suitable now," she said: "It may not be suitable for a long time in the future. This thing is too good and too precious."

   And now, frugality is the main thing. She is so poor, and if she wears such good things, it will be bad for the people below to follow suit.

Because of Zhao Hanzhang's filial piety, she has been wearing plain clothes for more than two years and has very little jewelry on her body. The girls in Yuzhou and Luoyang admire her and follow her to learn. In addition, many people in Luoyang have kept filial piety for the past six months, so that the exquisite clothing is here. Not good for sale.

   On the contrary, fine linen and coarse linen are more popular, not only in Luoyang, but also in Yuzhou.

Because Zhao Hanzhang basically does not wear jewelry, and more often uses jade crowns or hairbands to tie his hair, the girls in Yuzhou and Luoyang all follow her, so that in the past two years, there are many fewer people in Yuzhou who use gold and silver for jewelry .

   As a result, the upper resources are inclined, and the merchants who go to Yuzhou for business will bring less silk and satin, but more linen and grain that the guests like.

  The situation in Luoyang is the same now. The merchants who have been here twice have found out what Luoyang likes, so they also reduced the number of silk satin and various precious jewelry.

  Zhao Hanzhang can be sure that if she wears this bracelet to show off the market and shows how she likes it, it won't be long before the trillium bracelet can be sold for sky-high prices in Luoyang, and other bracelets will also be popular.

   This is not what she wants to see, so sometimes she hides it even if she likes it.

  Fu Tinghan heard this and looked at the gem in his hand, "That Erlang's short blade..."

   "Do it for him," Zhao Hanzhang said: "He's still a child, so there's no need to be too restrictive."

   Fu Tinghan nodded when he heard the words.

   Zhao Erlang ran back to Luoyang City, found Xie Shi directly, and relayed the words of his sister.

  Because what he said was confusing, Xie Shi patiently asked twice before he understood what Zhao Hanzhang meant.

  Xie Shi only pondered for a moment and then said: "I will return to the military camp with Erlang, first calculate the income of this bandit suppression, and then discuss the reward for meritorious deeds."
