I am a child of Daqin Xiong, who supervises the country at the age of eight

Chapter 269 Bronze Jue Cup
Inside Zhangtai Palace.

When Ying Changsheng returned here after frying the steak, Brother Zheng was discussing state affairs with Wang Jian here.

After seeing Ying Changsheng coming in, Wang Jian couldn't help turning his head, looked at Ying Changsheng, and then cupped his hands at Ying Changsheng.

"Young Master Nineteen, what is this?"

"General Wang is here too!"

Looking at Wang Jian in front of him, Ying Changsheng chuckled, and then ordered the eunuchs outside to come in, only to see that these eunuchs were holding trays in their hands, which contained pieces of fried steak.

This steak has already been cut into small pieces.

Rather than retaining a whole piece of form.

There is a reason for this - if it is a whole piece, you have to use a knife and fork to cut it.

And knives and forks, fundamentally speaking, are not something that is near before - certainly not at all.

During the Warring States Period of China, knives and forks were actually very popular, especially among aristocratic circles.

Moreover, there are strict etiquette requirements for using it.

For example, when using it to cut meat for eating, it must be cut straight. If the cut is not neat, it cannot even be eaten.

And with the passage of time, this thing has actually entered the stage of being eliminated.

Brother Zheng doesn't like to use this thing either.

Because when it is used, it is too complicated.

Under such circumstances, it is perfectly appropriate to cut up the steak for Brother Zheng before giving it to him.

As the steak was served, Ying Zheng glanced at Wang Jian who was at the side, and then opened his mouth to speak.

"Come to eat too?"

In fact, Wang Jian at this moment has already been tempted by the deliciousness of this steak.

Smell the fresh aroma of steak in the air.

Wang Jian's mouth couldn't help secreting a fine amount of saliva, after getting Ying Zheng's permission.

Wang Jian opened his mouth and smiled without hesitation, and then said.

"Since Your Majesty agrees, then I will thank Your Majesty!"

After saying this, the eunuch on the side had no choice but to get a plate for Wang Jianye, and then put the steak on the plate.

I saw Wang Jian holding the steak with chopsticks, and tasting the delicacy.

Ying Changsheng on the side is also eating.

While eating, he and Ying Zheng raised their wine glasses from time to time, and then took a sip of the fine wine in the glass.

Looking at the red wine in the goblet, and the aroma of wine in the air.

She inevitably showed curiosity in Wang Jian, only to see him begging Ying Zheng.

"Your Majesty, what kind of wine is this? Can I follow you, have a taste, and have a dip with Your Majesty?"

"Hahaha!"

After hearing Wang Jian's question, instead of being angry, Ying Zheng burst into laughter.

He laughed and pointed to Wang Jian and said.

"I know that you have good wine in your life, and you definitely don't want to miss such a good wine. Do you know what kind of wine it is made of?"

"What is it?"

After hearing Ying Zheng's question, Wang Jian couldn't help being curious, and then asked.

"It's made from grapes, so it's called wine!"

Ying Changsheng explained with a smile.

He told Wang Jian.

"This kind of wine is quite popular in the Western Regions. The country of Dawan produces fine wine. Now I have just brewed some. You can also try it..."

After finishing speaking, Ying Changsheng planned to order the eunuch at the side to get a wine glass for Wang Jian, pour some wine for him, and let him taste the deliciousness of the wine.

Not long after, a eunuch came over.

I got a bronze cup for Wang Jian.

This bronze cup.

Among the bronzes unearthed in later generations, it is very common to be from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the pre-Qin period.

China's famous drinking utensils.

At this moment, he is holding the bronze wine cup in his hand.

Wang Jian is indeed somewhat envious of Ying Zheng and Ying Changsheng in front of him. The crystal wine glass in the hands of the two of them can clearly see the color of the wine.

At this moment, I could only hear Wang Jian saying with a smile.

"Your Majesty Nineteenth Son, what is the wine glass you use? This wine glass looks much better than the one I use!"

"This wine glass is made of crystal, and the cost is a bit high. Now it has only been carved into two. Speaking of which, if I, Daqin, can have glass, there will be as many wine glasses like this..."

"Glass?"

After hearing this unfamiliar vocabulary, Ying Zheng couldn't help showing curiosity, and asked Ying Changsheng who was beside him.

"What exactly is this glass?"

"That's right, the old minister has never heard of anything called glass in this world!"

Wang Jian next to him inevitably showed a puzzled expression, and Ying Changsheng quickly explained with a smile.

"This glass is actually a transparent substance. Of course, it can also have other colors. If glass is generally transparent, crystal clear, similar to crystal, this thing is produced by firing. Yes, but how to make it, I really don't know..."

"Sounds like a nice thing, and it would be great if you knew how to make it!"

After hearing this, Ying Zheng inevitably frowned.

He said with a sigh.

Ying Changsheng nodded and said.

"Let's do it, I'll do some research later and see if there is any way to make glass!"

Well, the technical difficulty of glass is actually not too high.

The biggest difficulty is how to know its formula.

And that's the hardest thing about making glass.

After all, to make something, you don't even know its formula, so how do you make it.

Of course, although he doesn't know its specific formula, Ying Changsheng is not ignorant. He at least knows what the main material of glass is.

The most important of these is quartz stone.

At this moment, I only heard Ying Changsheng say to Ying Zheng with a smile.

"If my father really needs this glass, I can think of a way to experiment, try it, and see what materials can be used to make it!"

"Then let's try it later. If the production is successful, wouldn't I, Daqin, have another good thing?"

After hearing what Ying Changsheng said.

Ying Zheng couldn't help but opened his mouth and said.

Well, in his opinion.

Since there is such a good thing, it is natural to try every means to make it. Of course, if it really can't be made, it doesn't hurt.

After all, glass is such a thing.

It's not impossible to live without him.

Right now, after Wang Jian picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the wine, he instantly gave a thumbs up and couldn't help but admire.

"This wine is delicious, although it's not too strong, but it tastes smooth and tastes good..."

"That's natural!"

Ying Changsheng nodded.

Then he said to Wang Jian.

"But having said that, this wine also has a shortcoming. Its quantity is too small, because the number of grapes in my Daqin territory is too small, and there is no way to make too much wine..."
