After carefully storing the picture scroll worth forty or fifty thousand yuan, Wu Haogu felt a little hungry in his belly, so he told Liu Wuji to find Guo Jing to go to the "Roast Pig Courtyard" to eat together, and he went to brush his teeth and wash his face first.

That's right, it's to brush your teeth, to brush them with a toothbrush!

The Northern Song Dynasty not only had toothbrushes but also toothpaste! The toothbrush, called "toothbrushing", is made with a ponytail and a small wooden stick with a hole punched. Toothpaste, on the other hand, is a type of ointment made from traditional Chinese medicine. In addition, there is tooth powder, which is pounded into powder with traditional Chinese medicine, and then sieved out of fine powder to bag.

There are two kinds of tooth powder sold in the Kaifeng market: "Su's tooth powder" and "Shen's tooth powder", the former is said to be Su Dongpo's invention (Su Dongpo is an inventor), the latter is Shen Kuo's invention, and Wu Dalang is now using "Shen's tooth powder".

In addition to toothbrushes, toothpaste, and tooth powder, Wu Haogu also found a crystal-polished "magnifying glass" in his painting room, and he also saw people wearing glasses in the Panlou Market.

After washing, changing into a moon-white Confucian robe, putting on a white scholar's scarf, taking a folding fan, and taking out a penny, Wu Haogu walked out of the monk's room.

When he arrived outside the monk's room, Wu Haogu found that today was the day when Xiangguo Temple was open to all surnames for trading. Outside the monk's room, there are temporary colored curtains, open houses and charity shops everywhere, selling all kinds of objects that Wu Hao Gu could not have imagined. All kinds of shouting and shouting are endless. Near the nave, Wu Haogu also saw many stalls selling cold drinks.

The Song Dynasty had developed commerce, and all kinds of business that could be thought of and done were all done by people, including cold drinks.

Although the weather is not very hot now, you can still get a lot of heat after staying under the sun for a long time, and there is naturally a market for cold drinks to quench your thirst and cool down.

There are more than one kind of cold drinks sold in the temple, and there are "ice and snow" cold drinks similar to "smoothies" or "shaved ice" in later generations, as well as juices or herbal teas called "thirsty water" and "cooked water".

Wu Haogu has not eaten a drop of water since late last night, and when he saw the thirsty water, he suddenly felt dry in his mouth, so he spent a copper plate to buy a bowl of bayberry thirsty water (bayberry juice, pure natural, without any chemical additives) and drank it, feeling sweet and sour, very thirst-quenching. After drinking, he strode to the "Roast Pig Courtyard" restaurant outside Daxiangguo Temple.

"Da Lang, this way, over here."

As soon as I walked into the "Roast Pig Courtyard", I heard the voice of Monk Fu. Wu Haogu followed the sound and looked at it, and found that at the staircase on the second floor of the "Roast Pig Courtyard" restaurant, Monk Fu was holding a steamer in one hand and beckoning to him with the other.

Wu Dalang hurriedly went up to the second floor, and when he saw Monk Fu smiling all over his face, and holding a cage drawer of steamed buns in his hand, he immediately understood what was going on.

"Monk, is it made of grout buns?"

"It's done, it's done!" Monk Fu smiled, "Master was still talking about you just now...... If there is really a pass that you can't pass, just come to the Great Xiangguo Temple. If you really can't do it, just shave your hair, and you don't have to be afraid. With Da Lang's ability, there will always be a day when he will come out in the future. ”

If you shave your hair, you will naturally become a monk! The monks of the Great Song Dynasty are also official, and the highest monk official organization is called the "Left and Right Street Monk Record Division", which has the left and right street monk records, monk Zheng, deputy monk road, the first seat of the lecture, the first seat of the lecture, and the first place of the lecture, and the monk positions such as Jianyi.

And Daxiangguo Temple because it is the first royal temple in Kaifeng Prefecture, so the abbots of all dynasties have the official title of monks, and there are often abbots who serve as monks. Therefore, in Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo, the monks of Daxiangguo Temple can be regarded as people with a bit of status.

If Wu Dalang loses his hair in Daxiangguo Temple, then those who rectify the martial arts family will indeed have some scruples......

"Thank you so much, Master." Wu Dalang thanked him repeatedly.

In the Song Dynasty, it was easy to shave your head and lose your hair, but it was not easy to be a monk with a backer. Not to mention how much it costs to buy Du Mu - the money to buy Du Mu is good in ancient times - the mountain gate of Daxiangguo Temple alone is difficult to enter even if the head is broken.

This Daxiangguo Temple is the number one rich temple in the whole world!

Following Monk Fu, Wu Dalang walked into a private room on the second floor, where his two good brothers, Guo Jing and Liu Wuji, were already sitting inside, but there was no wine and food, only a few bowls of tea on the table.

"Let's have a few soup dumplings to eat first." When Monk Fu entered the door, he put the cage drawer in his hand on the table and lifted the lid of the cage. Inside were four big white, fat, steaming buns. It's not like the xiao long bao and soup dumplings of later generations, but like the big meat buns sold at the breakfast stall without much meat.

Wu Haogu happened to be extremely hungry, and he didn't care about the hot buns, so he pinched one, didn't dare to take a big bite, just took a small bite, and then gently sucked the soup inside.

The soup is fresh and has a mixture of pork and lamb flavors. Because this is a mutton bun mixed with pork skin and pork bones boiled with meat jelly, the taste is a little strange, but it is still very tasty. The only drawback is that it is made too big, and if you nibble on a bun, you will be able to hold up on the one with a smaller appetite.

"The buns are good," Wu Haogu commented, "but they're too big...... If you can make it smaller. He gestured with his hand, about the size of a later Xiaolong bun. One bite at a time, that's even better. ”

"So small?" Monk Fu shook his head, "It's not easy to do." ”

"Why can't you do it?" Wu Dalang looked at the half-eaten bun in his hand and said with a smile, "This is a bread...... If you make it small, you don't need to make noodles, just a thin layer of skin, which is full of soup and meatballs. ”

Monk Fu thought for a while, and suddenly clapped his hands, "Da Lang, I really have your ...... This bun can still do this! If the master found out, he probably really wanted to take you as an apprentice. ”

Wu Haogu said with a smile: "If there is really such a day, the monk will be a senior brother, but you must take good care of me, a little junior brother." ”

"Hahaha......" everyone in the private room laughed.

"Don't joke anymore." Wu Haogu finished eating the buns, burped lightly, and began to get down to business.

The three people sitting around the square table in the private room all looked at him, and Wu Haogu said: "The powder book (referring to the work completed last night) is already available, and the silk book can be made in a few days, and now it is how to sell it for a high price." ”

"If the price is high, there must be a good family," Liu Wuji, who often works on Panlou Street, took the question and said, "But those good things are all buying things on Panlou Street, and they rarely go to the ghost market...... It's all done there. ”

Guo Jing also said: "In the eyes of connoisseurs, how real can the paintings made by Da Lang be? ”

Wu Haogu said: "There are always eight points." ”

Liu Wuji frowned and said, "Why don't you make a few more?" ”

"How many more?" Wu Haogu slapped the table and said, "Yes, I need to make a few more pictures!" He looked at Guo Jing and Liu Wuji, "Copy ten, no, copy twenty!" ”

"Copy of "Drunken Arhat"?" Guo Jing asked

"Yes!" Wu Haogu nodded, "If you copy twenty rolls of paper, you don't need to be old, just write 'Copy Tang Wu Daozi Drunken Arhat Picture' on the picture scroll." ”

Liu Wuji asked: "What is the use?" ”

"It's a sale." Wu Dalang said.

"Where to sell?"

"Ghost City!" Wu Hao Ancient Road, "All the big experts in Kaifeng Mansion have sent people to keep an eye on the ghost market...... Three or five hundred things, they can call the shots. It's better to let them buy Xiao Yi's facsimile back first, so that those big connoisseurs can take a look at it first. Set a date again, and sing and sell the original on the ghost market. ”

"Singing and selling" is an auction, and it is also a common way to buy and sell in Kaifeng calligraphy and painting shops, but most of the things sold in the ghost market are not visible, so there are very few useful singing and selling.

"Singing and selling?" Guo Jing frowned, "If the big experts were to read the facsimile first, they would have come to take a look...... It's just that I'm afraid it's not in line with the rules to sing and sell on the ghost market, right? ”

"What are the rules of the ghost market?" Wu Haogu smiled and looked at Guo Jing and Liu Wuji, "Third brother, Xiaoyi, what do you have in mind?" ”

There is a certain division of labor in the counterfeiting gang headed by Wu Haogu, Wu Haogu is the one who does the painting, Fu Monk is the one who takes care of the house, and Guo Jing and Liu Wuji are the main ones who do the game in the ghost market.

Guo Jing and Liu Wuji glanced at each other, and both nodded at the same time and said, "Yes!" ”

Guo Jingdao: "The Sprinkle family and Liu Wu have already discussed, and they will set up a game in the ghost market!" ”

"Good!" Wu Haogu patted the table, "We have to set up an overall situation and turn those big experts into good things!" ”
