Cai Hongming weighed the book in his hand and felt it carefully, and found that the weight of the book was wrong.

Although it was just a little bit worse, he still felt it. Now, he couldn't help but become interested. When he was reading books, he always saw the protagonist discovering treasure maps hidden in the middle of the book, otherwise there would be things like martial arts secrets hidden in the words and sentences.

Could it be that he is also the legendary protagonist, a person who can meet gold whenever he walks? Thinking of it, he quickly studied it carefully.

But the result is sad.

No matter whether he interprets it in the font, or hides his head and tail, or interprets it every now and then, he doesn't find anything special in the words. As for the mezzanine, this book is originally a single page, not thick, so naturally there is no saying that mezzanine is there.

But why does he still feel weird?

Cai Hongming's repeated observations and research finally made him realize something was wrong.

This book that records medicinal food is an old-fashioned thread-bound book. It looks nothing on the surface, but the thread-bound part is a little more bulging than the usual thread-bound book. Could it be that something is strange? He was curious, so he pulled the thread apart and took it off, and suddenly found that there was a piece of gauze woven with silk as thin as a silk scarf hidden inside the thread-bound book head.

The gauze is thin and weak, and without careful feeling, it will not be able to detect its weight at all.

Perhaps it was because the years were too long and the gauze was dark yellow, and dense words were embroidered with five-color silk threads. Each word had a color, and five colors were arranged in five characters. If you read it in the order of the characters, it seemed like you were telling a story, but if you read it according to the color, it would be a different article again.

The five-color words also talk about medicinal food, but unlike the medicinal food written in the book that is almost different from the main road goods, it is obviously a medicinal food for practitioners.

The five-colored words embroidered on the gauze correspond to the five elements and the five realms of practice: foundation building, consecration, fusion, heartbeat, and golden elixir. Apart from the low-level foundation building and consecration of the medicinal materials, he knew about some of the medicinal materials at the level of golden elixir, he had almost never heard of the medicinal materials at the level of golden elixir. However, according to Cai Hongming's thoughts, he probably wouldn't be able to cultivate that realm in his life, so he wouldn't worry about that leisure.

After reading it, I put away the things and reinstalled the book.

My daughter has fallen asleep, but only my wife is still lying on the bed looking at her phone and waiting for him.

Shi Wan'er was wearing a transparent silk garment, half-exposed, and a charming charm rippled in her heart. Cai Hongming couldn't help but leaned forward and grabbed the clothes irregularly.

"What are you doing? Are your daughter next to you? Be careful to wake her up." Shi Wan'er pushed him shyly.

"Or else, let's go to the bathroom." Cai Hongming said, holding his wife.

"Yeah." Shi Wan'er responded softly, and Cai Hongming picked her up and walked towards the bathroom. Then there was a storm and a slapped nightingale's sarcasm.

The Trident is said to be the weapon of the Greek sea god Poseidon, and the rugby team named after the Trident is naturally extraordinary.

The West Lake Trident Rugby Team is the last stop of the Xidu Shengjing Rugby Team's national journey.

In order to avoid losing in the end, when everyone heard the awesome name of Trident, they unanimously asked Cai Hongming to play. As soon as they came on the field, they were simply terrible. The trident with awesome name sounded like a tile stove, being destroyed and flattened.

So much so that after two or three games, Cai Hongming didn't want to play anymore and asked Liu Chong to go up, and the result was the same.

After the competition, Cai Hongming gave them a few days off for fun, and he also took his wife and children to stroll around the beautiful scenery of West Lake.

West Lake is indeed a good place. Standing by the lake and thinking about the romantic story of Xu Xian and Bai Snake, I feel more passionate.

It is said that women by the West Lake are very emotional and are particularly easy to soak, so many people also call West Lake a holy place for love.

But there are too many people in West Lake now, and basically every day there are tourists from all over the world to play. On Saturdays and Sundays, it is even more amazing. It is so crowded with people. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are crowded with each other and sweating profusely. So if you want to go to West Lake, it is best to choose a time when it is not on holiday, and it is best to be in a cold winter, when there are the least people.

However, there are also some places with fewer people, such as Shangtianzhu Road on Shangtianzhu Road by West Lake, Zhongtianzhu and other places that are very quiet.

Because there are too many people, Cai Hongming took his wife and children to visit West Lake for a casual walk, and then he came to Qinghefang at the foot of Wushan Mountain, which is also an ancient pedestrian street in Hangzhou.

Qinghefang, history originated in the Southern Song Dynasty.

During the Jingkang Incident in 1127, Emperor Huizong of Song, Emperor Qinzong of Song and more than a thousand royal ministers were captured by the Jin Kingdom. Zhao Gou, the ninth son of Emperor Huizong of Song, inherited the throne of the Song Dynasty in Yingtian Prefecture, Nanjing. In order to continue the imperial and legal system of the Song Dynasty, the country was still named Song, known in history as the Southern Song Dynasty, and later moved the capital to Lin'an, which is now Hangzhou.

After the Southern Song Dynasty established its capital in Hangzhou, it made efforts to build it, so there was a saying that "building a Jiuli Imperial City and opening a Shili Tianjie (now Zhongshan Middle Road)".

At that time, outside the palace city, on both sides of Tianjie, royal relatives and powerful eunuchs built private palaces. Deshou Palace was built east of Zhonghe, Kaiyuan Palace was built on Shanghuaguang, Huiwang Mansion was built on Houshi Street, Longxiang Palace was built on Huimin Street, etc. The name of Qinghefang was related to the Grand Tutor Zhang Jun at that time.

In the third year of Jianyan (1129), Zhang Jun repelled the Jin soldiers in Mingzhou (now Ningbo), and won the Gaoqiao victory. In his later years, he was named the Prince of Qinghe County and was highly favored.

He built the Qinghe County Prince's Mansion in Taiping Lane, Hefang Street today, so this area is called Qinghefang.

During the Southern Song Dynasty, Qinghefang was filled with shops and restaurants and tea shops. It was the political and cultural center of Hangzhou and the gathering place for merchants. Through the Yuan, Ming, Qing, and Republic of China periods until the early liberation, this area was still a prosperous commercial area in Hangzhou.

Today is not Sunday, so there are not many pedestrians on the street.

Cai Hongming took Shi Wan'er and Chuchu into Qinghefang, and the little guy was immediately attracted by all kinds of strange things on the street.

Of course, what attracted her the most was a lot of food.

Before the little guy had eaten candy, Cai Hongming bought her a big lobster for her. The little guy bit and licked her, but his mouth never stopped since then. Shi Wan'er was like a child. When she saw her daughter eating, she wanted to eat it, so she asked Cai Hongming to buy her one too.

Cai Hongming glanced at her and thought to himself how old you are, but he still obediently bought her a little tiger.

The little guy looked at it and felt that his mother's tiger was more powerful than his big lobster, so he exchanged it with his mother for eating.

So, there was a scene of mother and daughter taking turns eating candy on the street.

Cai Hongming was far away from them and said he didn't know each other. He took photos of them and planned to go back and post them online and let them enjoy them.

Strolling on the blue brick pavement of the ancient street, there are Ming and Qing style buildings on both sides, with flying eaves, empty panes, antique texts, and clerks wearing ancient costumes walking on this street, you will feel that you have suddenly integrated into the past years.

Every time I walk on such an ancient street, Cai Hongming feels very much. It seems that he has returned to ancient times, and his mind is washed away, and he feels like he returns to nature.

Especially when he saw the white walls and gray tiles in the south of the Yangtze River, the charm of the small bridges and flowing water, he wanted to live here.

But perhaps, what he liked was not the scenery of Jiangnan, but the delicateness of Jiangnan women and the slightness of Wunong slang.

Qinghefang Street should be the only old block in Hangzhou currently preserved and is a microcosm of Hangzhou's long history.

There are many century-old shops on the street, such as Wang Xingji, Zhang Xiaoquan, Wanlong Ham Stage, Hu Qingyu Hall, Fang Huichun Hall, Ye Zhongde Hall, Baohe Hall, Zhuangyuan Hall, Wang Runxing, Yiyuan Jindian, Jingyangguan, and Yam Soup Hotel are all concentrated in this area.

When I got here, I had to bring some souvenirs back, so Cai Hongming took his wife and daughter to buy.

Zhang Xiaoquan's scissors, the ham from the Wanlong Ham Stack, the sandalwood fan from the Shengtan Pavilion, the glazed glass shop, Hu Qingyutang's sachet, Ou Ye's sword's sword, and the unique embroidery crafts in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. I bought a lot of them all, and Cai Hongming took them himself. I was so tired.

But later he learned to be smart and asked the store to pack things that were too heavy and then send them back.

The century-old shops on the street are all very famous, among which Ouye Sword is one of the most well-known traditional crafts in the country. It is famous for its four major characteristics: "tough, sharp, hard and soft, with a strong and delicate pattern". Ouye Sword, the founder of Ouye Sword, was the first iron sword in Chinese history: "Longyuan" (Longquan Sword), which pioneered China's cold weapons.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, King Yue was famous for his "sleeping on firewood and tasting gall".

According to legend, the King of Yue Sword was cast by Ou Yezi. It was originally owned by King Fuchai of Wu. Yue destroyed Wu and returned to King Goujian of Yue. After the sword was unearthed in 1965, it caused a great sensation and was praised by the world as a "rare treasure". Now the command knife of the National Flag Guard, the Dalian female cavalry police, the Taiyuan cavalry police, and the Wenzhou cavalry police are all designed and cast by Ou Ye sword.

Hu Qingyutang is also worth mentioning about the century-old store.

Speaking of Hu Qingyutang, we have to talk about his founder Hu Xueyan.

Hu Xueyan is a legendary figure. His original name was Hu Guangyong, and his young name was Shunguan. His courtesy name was Xueyan. He was originally from Jixi, Huizhou, Anhui. When he was young, he was poor and made a living by helping people with cattle. Although he was poor, he did not have ambition to die. When he was young, he showed integrity and not greedy. One day, he picked up silver on the road. He was afraid that the owner would be anxious, so he waited by the side of the road and gave the owner who lost the silver. The owner was a merchant in Hangzhou. He was moved by his sincerity. He came again the next year and took him to Hangzhou to learn business.

His legend begins here.

Because of his talent, diligence and studious, he did not seek personal gain, and was bold, meticulous, confident and honest, he soon jumped from a young man to the boss of Fukang Money House, and then became a giant Hui merchant. In the 11th year of Xianfeng (1861), when the Taiping Army attacked Hangzhou, Hu Xueyan purchased arms from Shanghai and Ningbo and fed food to the Qing army. He gained the trust of Zuo Zongtang. He was appointed as the general manager and presided over the money, grain and military pay of Zhejiang Province, which made Fukang Money House profit greatly, and thus embarked on the road of official and business.

It’s just that success is due to official businessmen, and failure is due to official businessmen.

Later, because of his business in the silk industry, he was forced to sell it at a low price and half of his assets were sold. After that, bureaucrats from all over the country competed to withdraw money and extort, which caused the capital turnover to fail. In the end, Cixi ordered her to dismiss her post and investigate her, and she was punished strictly, and eventually she ended up in a depressed end.
