There are two things to pay attention to One is that water gathers wealth Another thing is that in case of fire water is very convenient Take a basin and just pour it like this Hurry up and put out the fire Look at it, the wall is very thick why is it thick Warm in winter and cool in summer Then you tap here It's empty inside. This is the flue. Coal-fired heat is here in winter There is usually a small smoke hole in the roof should be on top of that this is the chimney It's the same as heating in winter This Shanxi merchant is not only doing big business but also small business This is also called Shanxi Merchants, look at this this is a scissors Grinding scissors and kitchen knife What do they use to yell? It's a loudspeaker this is a rattle this is for selling cloth this is for ice Take a tinkling little mace This is a rag change bowl It's a chicken bone whistle made of chicken bones the Jiujiu kind I think the biggest thing here is this shaved shoulder Only one side of the shaving shoulder is hot this should be hot water And the razors in the little drawer or something It can wash face There are two things to watch when you come to the Qiao Family Courtyard One is to look at the building Another one is that his family has three treasures There are two in this house One is Rhino Moonscope There is another one above This is the earliest monitor in China It's actually a very shiny steel ball master sleeping in bed Whoever walks in can see No dead angle monitoring system I checked the monitoring system on the Internet different opinions Some say it was made by classical Chinese craftsmen very polished And it's imported from the U.S. Also said to be from Papua New Guinea Don't Look at This Rhino Moonscope This is a national first-class cultural relic. This is a national treasure. This steel ball is also a national treasure But I think this monitor Isn't this a steel ball? You see, people also pay attention to hanging this painting The cat and the butterfly are octogenarians That magpie standing on a branch is beaming with joy Every painting is special the third treasure This is nine dragon lamp It was given by Empress Dowager Cixi Everyone heard that the Empress Dowager Cixi is quite generous give this lamps wrong These two are used by Empress Dowager Cixi to repay debts they borrowed money from Old Qiao's family and can't pay it back gave two lamps this light is very interesting The bottom can be rotated to adjust the brightness There is also a mirror here is a candle Candles reflect in the mirror Brightness is higher make the whole house brighter turn to this painting Reduced brightness without reflection but this lamp It only costs 10 yuan in Yiwu Small Commodity Market, and free shipping buy one get one free Above is a pavilion, this is a rockery Why is there a door open in the rockery? Interesting, there is a door In fact, this is where Qiao's compound hides money At most, ten million taels were hidden What kind of concept is this 10 million taels? One-eighth of the money in the treasury of the Qing Dynasty I don't know if here still have money the smell of gold ingots It's all about money Why is the Qiao Family Courtyard so well preserved? It has something to do with how the old Qiao family behaves very virtuous Get on well with neighbors After they have money, they often help these neighbors So when there are disasters in history no one is standing up to sabotage say good things for his family Everyone knows that there is a saying that the rich cannot last three generations Why they can rich for six generations? related to family training His family has a lot of family training I learned that there is a particularly interesting called suffer losses family training how do they say this suffer small losses, not big ones suffer open losses, not dark ones suffer new losses, not old ones I thought about it It's not easy to do something Need to keep suffering, every time it is different interesting After visiting the Qiao Family Courtyard We learned how Shanxi merchants made their fortunes When you come to Shanxi, you must try Jin cuisine The place I am coming to now is Shanxi Hotel This is the current Shanxi merchants treat guests to dinner Friends are invited to choose this place Why? Look at the environment It's so beautiful when the lights are on at night The predecessor of Shanxi Hotel was called Self-examination Hall It was built by the great warlord Yan Xishan It can be said that there have been many famous people in history so beautiful at night it has many buildings The whole circle is a big yard for parking This Jinfu Building is the place to eat Should be a Chinese restaurant This is really a place where a big hotel treats guests to dinner All private rooms there is only one hall How many tables are there in this hall 6 tables look at this menu The menu is still beautiful so thick The key is to see this high-definition photo want to eat anything I wanted to order this Fushan Breaded Chicken but it must be booked in advance so we order this Yan Fu Cross Meat After all, this used to be the domain of the Yan This Yan Fu Cross Meat 268 yuan not cheap This menu is prosperity or frugality are determined by people it has expensive dishes and cheap ones Such as this Youmian Kaolaolao Must eat here, 238 yuan why is it expensive Just with a lamb you turn to the end The same is Youmian Kaolaolao This one without mutton is 48 yuan let's order this Also ordered spinach shaved noodle All Shanxi characteristics 15 yuan a bowl sweet and sour meatballs, Pingding oily pork This menu is quite professional Official cuisine and Cantonese cuisine local cuisine Jin cuisine is divided into official cuisine and cuisine from the private kitchen of Jin merchants There are also folk dishes in the market three parts These seven plates and eight bowls I feel like a Jin merchant too rich which one to eat first Definitely eat the shaved noodle first Why? It stuck in a while shaved noodle two Luzi One is meat sauce and soybeans This should be carrots, potatoes and tomatoes pour it all Is it a bit salty if I pour it all over? Come and taste Should have tasted salty just now Very salty I added more meat sauce just now, add half of this Come to Shanxi Hotel to eat a knife-shaved noodle This noodle is very chewy Very tasty The Luzi is good and the meat sauce is very fragrant some vinegar This is garlic and vinegar some garlic pour a little In fact, as far as Shanxi is concerned, there are knife-shaved noodles in many places endless debate But the most famous one is in Datong In the future, we will eat knife-shaved noodles in Datong But this noodle is also delicious Shanxi has so many noodles all kinds of But I assigned it a class one is troublesome Slightly troublesome type has to move hands Another is this simple type how do I say this look at this Take a knife and cut it with a knife the Cagedou, shake it and wipe it off Just make a dough And Tijian, just sharp In fact, it is simple But you have to have the skill, don't you? For example, each piece of this knife-shaved noodle is the same this is technology Let's say complex You have to roll the dough La noodle you have to pull Cut noodle you have to cut Che noodles you have to pull This is more complicated and requires a bit of workmanship This is why Shanxi people can play tricks on noodles It is the shape of various noodles, the taste of various noodles The most famous is the knife-shaved noodle Why is the knife-shaved noodle the most famous? In fact, there are many delicious noodles here Try this after eating this bowl of noodle also a pasta Youmian Kaolaolao It's not only weird looking, and weird name What is Youmian Kaolaolao listen this the name is special Really special Tell you the score is divided into three parts One is Youmian What is Youmian? It is buckwheat, which is a kind of oatmeal This is made of Youmian The word Kao actually refers to a plant What is Laolao? Look at this get you one up This is Laolao What is Laolao? Do you look like a basket a basket In the local dialect The one with the stuff on his back is called Laolao This can be made of bamboo May be willow wicker So the plant is Kao Youmian Kaolaolao Another meaning is close together It means unity like a small basket can hold water It's the smell of naked oats The dipping sauce is not eaten one by one so tight this is tomato juice especially like noodles It's almost like noodles Dip in this garlic vinaigrette a little too much I like this garlic vinegar one This tastes like dipping noodles because it means unity So when it comes to happy occasions Local people eat this every year and festival This is very full especially resistant to hunger How full? There is a local saying that says Thirty-mile Youmian and Thirty-mile Cake Twenty miles of buckwheat noodles will break your waist What does it mean You can walk forty miles by eating Youmian Thirty miles after eating cake you can't walk twenty miles after eating buckwheat I heard that I ate and walked forty miles Let's eat less and save some stomach eat this Pingding oily meat A special delicacy in Pingding County, Yangquan City, Shanxi Oily meat once said oily meat I just wanted to say oily meat noodle In fact, it has something to do with Xinjiang let's have a bite first very fresh and fragrant why does it matter Because the earliest Ming and Qing Dynasties Merchants from Shanxi came to Xinjiang to do business along the Silk Road they brought the oily meat over there After bringing it over, combine it with the local noodles It's oily meat noodle Axing likes to eat this when I go to Xinjiang tasty But the oily meat noodle in Xinjiang, no But the oily meat in Xinjiang is different from the oily meat in Shanxi Look here, first of all there is no chili Some also put chili but absolutely no tomatoes You want to say how to do the traditional oily meat I can't find it in Shanxi There are practices everywhere Every place in Shanxi is different But Xinjiang I think it's quite unified It's chili, onion, tomato Why did the one in Xinjiang add tomatoes? It is the kind of taste that Central Asia likes It's red stew there is no tomato just a smell of sauce This dish tastes a bit like Shandong cuisine Bamboo shoots, black fungus, big shallots and spinach In some places in Shanxi, cabbage is added to this dish One of the most famous dishes in Jin cuisine should be this Oily meat it's pork Xinjiang is beef and mutton How did this dish come about? It's just that there were no refrigerators in ancient times meat is not good for storage Just fry the meat once and store it Also, when marching and fighting Once the meat is fried, it is convenient to carry and not easy to break If this bowl of noodle is not filled with Luzi Pour this directly on it, it will be oily meat and knife-shaved noodle Try this Jin merchants four small bowls This is meatball, this is Kou meat This is not a small crispy meat This is fried shiitake mushrooms This is seaweed this meat looks great Once you eat it, you will feel like a flowing water mat in the countryside In fact, it evolved from the Eight Great Bowls of Shanxi Merchants This meatball is more delicious Shrunken version of the eight bowls try this this dish is interesting It's different for each ingredient But I think the soup is about the same Mushrooms are delicious You go on a trip to Qiao Family Courtyard There are many restaurants when you come out One of the main dishes of these restaurants Every household has the eight bowls of Shanxi Merchants I heard eight big bowls It feels similar to Shaanxi In fact, Shanxi cuisine is very similar to Shaanxi cuisine For example, this sweet and sour ball Shaanxi cuisine also has The meatballs in Shaanxi cuisine are slightly bigger this is small this juice is good sweet and sour Eat the Yan Fu Cross Meat there's fire down there heated look at this skin fried skin how big is this piece to eat such a piece have to pass out This piece is quite fat super fragrant what does it taste like kinda like bacon I really want to have a bun up to two if three, Ican't get out of this door today It's so fragrant too tired to eat directly on the noodle bacon noodle this is Hurry up and have some vinegar Served with garlic and vinegar should relieve the greasy pour up this is the feeling I'm done eating Shanxi Hotel's Jin cuisine The dishes are exquisite and taste good But it has a common problem of big hotels What's wrong with it? It's just like a hotel lack of pot gas Although the lack of pot gas But the environment is good and the dishes are exquisite The presentation is also beautiful suitable for a treat ok, that's it
