After dinner, Jia Dongsheng left the courtyard and went to the place where his original body lived.
A quadrangle courtyard with five entrances.
The three-story courtyard in Nanluoguxiang is already about 800 to 900 square meters, not to mention Jia Dongsheng's five-story courtyard.
According to the old Chinese doctor, he had reached the highest position of sixth-rank imperial physician in the Imperial Medical Bureau in the palace. You should know that the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau, that is, the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau, was only fifth-rank.
However, even a fifth-rank Imperial Medical Officer could not own a house with five courtyards. Instead, the prodigal Empress Dowager fell seriously ill and medicine was useless. However, the old Chinese doctor used health-preserving prescriptions to restore the Emperor's health, and that was the reward for this courtyard.
This courtyard is only about ten minutes away from the Forbidden City. Although it is a little farther than the nearest quadrangle courtyard to the Forbidden City, it is not much farther. In the past, it was also where the third-rank officials lived.
This area is full of relatively large courtyard houses. There are also small courtyard houses, but they are more exquisite.
He walked all the way to the gate of the courtyard, took out the key, opened the door, and walked in.
Jia Dongsheng doesn't plan to come here often in the future. After all, when the storm comes, many soldiers are willing to break into the rich mansions. If he is here, it will be wrong to resist, and it will be even worse not to resist. Therefore, not living here is the best solution.
After entering the courtyard and passing through the hanging flower gate, Jia Dongsheng walked forward until he reached the third courtyard, where he stopped.
The main house is in the third courtyard, and behind it is the backyard, where the women lived in ancient times. Behind it is another courtyard, which is the back room.
In the quadrangle courtyard, the courtyard with five entrances is the largest. If you want a bigger one, it would be a royal palace.
The difference between a prince's palace and a five-courtyard quadrangle is that a prince's palace has left and right cross-courtyards, and some can have several courtyards, with countless pavilions and towers in the courtyards, which are even more grand and beautiful than this one.
"I'll have to live in a palace if I get a chance."
Jia Dongsheng was thinking happily in his heart, but he didn't know whether it could be realized. He walked to the door of the main room and pushed it open and walked in.
An antique room appeared in front of Jia Dongsheng.
The room is fully furnished with a bed, table, stool, desk, antique display case and bookshelf.
Jia Dongsheng did not hesitate. He came here today not to study the place where his original body used to live, but to study his golden finger and find out what it was.
With a thought, Jia Dongsheng felt dizzy again, and the next second, he appeared in his homestay again.
"It is said that the space-type cheat code can also allow the body to enter. Can my body enter?"
Thinking of this, he started to experiment. As soon as the thought came to his mind, the dizziness came again, and then Jia Dongsheng felt that his feet were on solid ground.
"It really came in. It's quite magical."
Afterwards, Jia Dongsheng walked around the homestay.
The layout and decoration of this B&B were all designed according to his own ideas. When the fire broke out, he was thinking that if he could escape, he would sue the construction company and force it to go bankrupt, saying it was too deceptive.
But now that I have traveled through time, there is no chance for me to settle accounts with that company again.
The layout of the B&B is very grand and simple. It is all made of solid wood, and each room has its own unique features.
In Jia Dongsheng's plan, he would not welcome everyone into his homestay. One reason was that it was expensive, and the other was that he was afraid of trouble. If some random people came, it would be too much to worry about.
Unfortunately, I didn’t use it and traveled through time.
After walking and stopping, we finally arrived at the place in this homestay that Jia Dongsheng put the most effort into: the kitchen.
As a chef, you must have a high-end, classy kitchen.
This kitchen is more than 100 square meters and has six stoves. A small cold storage, a fresh-keeping warehouse, a small warehouse, and a small wine cellar are all in the kitchen.
"Now let's see if the supplies I prepared for the opening of the B&B are still there."
With anticipation, Jia Dongsheng opened the door of the small cold storage. A gust of cool air hit his face, which made Jia Dongsheng stunned for a moment.
"How did I travel through time? Is this cold storage still operating?"
"Doesn't it require electricity?"
Thinking of this, Jia Dongsheng looked to the side and saw that the light on the power supply was off.
"This B&B space after traveling through time actually still has electricity?"
"Isn't this too contrary to common sense and science?"
Well, we have time travel, a fire in a B&B can be repaired, and having electricity is nothing strange.
Walking into the cold storage, Jia Dongsheng saw rows of boxes neatly arranged, and a smile appeared on his face. These rows of boxes were filled with good things that he had obtained through the connections he had made when he was the head chef in the kitchen of the State Guesthouse.
Pork, beef, mutton, donkey meat, horse meat, chicken, duck, goose, abalone, lobster, sea cucumber, prawns, Australian lobster, etc., everything is available.
This B&B is located in a remote place. Although the scenery is beautiful, it is not convenient to buy things there, so he prepared a lot of things.
Just talking about pork, he got a thousand kilograms, not including ribs, pig heads and other things, and there was even more beef and mutton.
After all, pork tastes less healthy than beef and lamb.
However, in the 1960s, pork was the most expensive. Even if you had a ticket, it still cost 78 cents per pound. If you didn't have a ticket, whether you could buy it was another matter. Even if you wanted to buy it, it would cost more than 1.2 yuan per pound.
"There's meat and bones. I have to make something delicious tonight. Xiao Dang has become so skinny."
"It's just that the meat is still frozen. It's a bit troublesome."
In this day and age, fresh meat is not available for purchase, so where can you get frozen meat?
"We have to thaw the meat first, which is a bit troublesome."
He sighed and thought there was nothing he could do. He picked and chose in the cold storage for a while and took out a big bone, two pig's trotters, and about three pounds of pork.
After being a chef for a long time, I can tell the weight of meat just by picking it up, and there is a high probability that I will be right.
Then Jia Dongsheng went to the warehouse nearby and took a look. There were 1,000 kilograms of Wuchang rice, 1,000 kilograms of white flour, millet, red beans, mung beans, glutinous rice, soybean oil, peanut oil, salad oil, vegetable oil, etc. There were also quite a lot of them in the warehouse.
"Lack of food and clothing?"
Facing the three-year famine of lack of food and clothing, Jia Dongsheng said that he only needed to smile, chat and laugh, and lie down to get through it.
Finally, we went to the fresh-keeping warehouse. Jia Dongsheng didn’t put many things in there. After all, no matter how fresh the food was, the taste would deteriorate after a long time, which was different from the cold storage.
There were some vegetables and fruits in it, but not many.
"I suppose I should add that buying fruits and vegetables in winter these days is a real struggle."
"Wait, did you forget something?"
Jia Dongsheng patted his forehead and muttered to himself.
