After resting for a night, early the next morning, Cheng Li had just gotten up, and there was already a knock on the door outside the wing room where he lived. opened the door to see, but it was Xiao Jianshi. He hugged his fists and smiled: "Cheng Shao, it's early." Well, how was your rest last night?"

Cheng Li nodded and said, "It's not bad." Brother Xiao is also early. ”

Xiao Jianshi smiled: "Since Cheng Shao has just gotten up, he must not have eaten breakfast yet, right?" Hurry up and change your clothes, let's go out on the street to eat. Bai Yujing's early, that is a must in the world. Since you come to Bai Yujing, you must not stay at home, you must go to the street to eat, that is authentic. No matter what flavor Cheng Shao likes, it is guaranteed that you will never forget to return, and you just hate why you don't have two more bellies. ”

Cheng Li also smiled: "Oh, it's really so good? By the way, what about Taifu and Miss Yu, as well as Miss Rou? If they are free, they might as well go together. ”

Xiao Jianshi said: "Uncle Shi is not only the master, but also the owner of Xiuchun Building, and he is also in charge of Yulinwei. Wear many hats and work a lot. Once you get busy, it's common not to go home for a few days. The senior sister and the second senior sister are also similar. If you want to say that you are free, haha, then there are only the third and fourth senior brothers who are locked up. ”

Cheng Lichu smiled and said: "I see, then I'll wash up, change my clothes, and go out with Brother Xiao." ”

After a long time, Cheng Li finished washing, changed into a new set of clothes, and pulled the "servant" out of the stable and took it. Xiao Jianshi rode a jujube red horse, and the two of them walked together and walked out of the Taifu Mansion.

There are many bustling and lively places in Baiyujing. But the most essential is the East Market and the West Market. Dongshi is relatively close to the Imperial City. Therefore, not only the eunuchs in the palace would go to procure things. Most of the dignitaries and nobles in the city will also come here to patronize. Therefore, the shops here are relatively high-end.

In contrast, the West Market is more of a Riba person. Most of the customers who come here are civilians. Moreover, because today's Great Wei Dynasty is at its peak and is the first in the world, Bai Yujing is the imperial capital of the Great Wei Dynasty and deserves to be the largest city in the world. Therefore, in addition to the local residents and the people of the Great Wei Dynasty, there were also many merchants from the Western Regions and overseas countries.

In the West Market, in addition to restaurants and restaurants, there are many food stalls. What beef soup, spicy soup, pot stickers, wontons, hot noodle corners, pulp noodles, noodle soup, meat hopping, peony cake...... Everything you need. In addition, what juggling, rapping, shadow puppetry, puppet show, whirlwind dance, magic and so on. There is no such thing as entertainment.

Cheng Li and Xiao Jianshi jumped off their horses, pulled the reins, and walked through the bustling West Market. But when I saw everyone coming and going, they were all neatly dressed and in good spirits. Between the eyebrows, there is a sense of pride and high-spiritedness. Obviously, the people of Bai Yujing are proud of being the residents of the largest city in the world.

Although Cheng Li has traveled thousands of miles, it is the first time in his life that he has seen such a prosperous and prosperous place. And the pedestrians in front of me seem to be more than all the people I have met in my life combined. All of a sudden, I couldn't help but look around, and I felt new everywhere.

Similar performances, in Xiao Jianshi's opinion, have long been accustomed to it. He smiled and said: "There is an ancient poem: 'Three rivers and four plugs of water and land, why not dream of Yujing for a long time'." Bai Yujing is located in the middle of the world, with mountains and rivers. It is connected with the major water systems in the world, and it is convenient for the Grand Canal to be transported, and the products are abundant. Therefore, since ancient times, no matter how the world changes dynasties, Baiyujing has always been the undisputed national capital. Although it has also experienced many wars because of this, as long as the world is settled, it will be able to recover immediately.

Especially since the first emperor ascended the throne, he has made remarkable achievements in selecting talents and appointing talents, and making great efforts to govern the country. In Baiyujing, people from all over the world gathered, and there were more than 3 million people. Coupled with the convergence of wealth and goods from all over the world, there has never been such a prosperity since ancient times. Therefore, in the eyes of the surrounding countries, they even think that Bai Yujing is the heavenly immortal. Among them, some people even sighed that they would like to stay in Bai Yujing for a long time, even if they will be buried here after death, which is better than the Pure Land of Bliss in the West. ”

Cheng Li was taken aback and asked, "In a city of Bai Yujing, there are actually more than three million people?

Xiao Jianshi said with a smile: "It's true, because ten years ago, when Jinzi ascended the throne, there was a census in Baiyujing to determine the taxation according to the census results. The figure of more than 3 million was the result of the census at that time. However, in the past ten years, Bai Yujing has carried out two expansions, and the population will only be more than ten years ago. ”

Cheng Li couldn't help but be stunned. As a child, he wandered in the wilderness, often not seeing a few people all year round. Later, he was adopted by his adoptive father and finally returned to human society. But the town of the research institute has about 10,000 people, and it is already up to the sky. Although I heard that there are more advanced and prosperous super cities outside the town, Cheng Li has never been there, and he has not even seen it.

As for entering this world, Liaodong is of course vast and sparsely populated. Hangzhou has a population of just over one million. Suddenly, he heard that Bai Yujing actually had a population of more than three million, which really made him unimaginable.

Seeing Cheng Li's reaction, Xiao Jianshi couldn't help but smile again. The smile is full of pride. Obviously, as a member of Bai Yujing, he is also very proud of Bai Yujing's prosperity.

Xiao Jianshi said again: "It is precisely because Bai Yujing has such a population that all kinds of pastimes and entertainment things are also endless. Cheng Shao, let's have breakfast first and fill our stomachs a little. Then go to Goolan Washer to play. At noon, I went to Dongjia Restaurant, where I had already booked a private room. In the afternoon, we might as well go to the Dachongfa Temple to play. The steamed pig's head in the roast pig yard over there is a must in the world. It's rare to come to Bai Yujing, if you don't taste this steamed pig's head, it's just nothing. ”

Cheng Li was surprised and said: "Da Chongfa Temple? Isn't that a monk temple? Buddhism abstains from eating meat, how can the monks there actually know how to steam pigs' heads?"

Xiao Jianshi said as a matter of course: "What's wrong with this? Buddhism keeps the precepts, that is, he does not eat meat, and it is not that others are not allowed to eat it." There is no prohibition on monks to use pork to cook and sell it to others to eat. The steamed pig's head in the Great Chongfa Temple, but after Emperor Taizu ate it, he was full of praise. ”

Cheng Li thought about it and felt that it was the same reason. smiled at the moment: "That's okay." It's my first time in Bai Yujing, and I'm not familiar with it. Brother Lao Xiao, you, the head worm, will lead the way. ”

Xiao Jianshi patted his chest and said, "Although leave it all to me." Ah, Cheng Shao, we're here. In front is the old shop of the Zhang family. The breakfast made by his family is the most authentic in Quanbai Yujing. You're guaranteed to have a long aftertaste. ”

Not to mention that Xiao Jianshi pulled Cheng Li and walked into a morning shop next to the road. The shop covers a large area, but it has been crowded with customers who have come to patronize. Next to each table, there are full of guests, who are snoring and eating breakfast. The few little second brothers in the store were even more busy, almost kicking the back of the head.

However, Xiao Jianshi is obviously an old customer of this store. Seeing him coming, no matter how busy he was, there was still a shopkeeper who immediately greeted him, nodded and said hello, and then pulled down a staircase and asked Xiao Jianshi and Cheng Li to go up.

The two of them climbed the stairs, but saw that there was a small attic above, and there were only two tables in it, which was very quiet. However, the side facing the street is built in the style of a balcony, and although the place is small, it looks very cheerful, and there is no sense of narrowness and oppression.

Xiao Jianshi sat down at one of the tables and said, "This is the elegant seat of the Zhang family's old shop. Specially reserved for entertaining relatives and friends. If it has nothing to do with the shopkeeper, even if the prime minister comes, he can't imagine sitting here. ”

Cheng Li also sat down and asked curiously, "Then what does Brother Xiao have to do with the owner of the Zhang family's old shop?"

Xiao Jianshi said: "Originally, it didn't matter. However, some time ago, the shopkeeper encountered a lot of trouble, and he almost couldn't open it. I happened to know about it, so I did the shopkeeper a favor. The shopkeeper gave me 10% of the dry shares. Haha, strictly speaking, I'm also the owner of this old shop. ”

While speaking, footsteps sounded at the stairs, but it was the shopkeeper who sent him up early. Inside a large tray, there are two large bowls of beef broth. The meat fat soup is fresh, fat but not greasy. There is another plate of potstickers, the color is translucent, and the skin is thin and crispy. Then there are two bowls of hot noodles, the color is like Qiongyu, fragrant and delicious. There is also no turning soup, the taste is sour and spicy, and there is some numbness. In addition, there are fried dough sticks, sugar cakes, hemp balls, pancakes and fruits. Red, red, green, and green, just looking at it makes people have an appetite.

Although there are many types of food delivered, the portions are just right. At most, two or three chopsticks will be eaten, and one plate will be eaten. In this way, you will be able to taste as many kinds of food as possible, and you will never be able to eat enough.

Cheng Li was not polite, picked up the dishes and chopsticks, shook off his cheeks and ate big. Sure enough, each one has a unique flavor that leaves a lingering fragrance on the cheeks. Xiao Jianshi said that the breakfast of this shop is the most authentic and authentic taste of all white Yujing. Whether it can really be used with the word "most", Cheng Li didn't dare to say. But it did make him linger.

For those who practice martial arts, the amount of physical exercise is large, and the consumption is naturally high. So don't look at Xiao Jianshi's figure is not burly, she can eat a lot. Cheng Li is not a martial arts practitioner, but as a robber of the fourth awakening, his appetite will only be farther than Xiao Jianshi.

Therefore, it was only half an hour, and the food on the table was still swept away. Seeing that Cheng Li's intention was still unfinished, Xiao Jianshi called the shopkeeper again and asked Xiao'er to send two bowls of noodles, two bowls of spicy soup, plus fried buns, baked gluten, white Ji bun and so on.

"Dangdangdang~~"

Cheng Li and Xiao Jianshi were eating happily. Suddenly, a gong sounded. The whole street, from the street to the end of the street, is clearly audible to everyone. Before the sound fell, I could only hear a shout from someone on the street, and then there was a commotion.

Cheng Li was stunned, put down his chopsticks, and walked to the balcony to watch by the railing. I saw countless pedestrians fleeing in panic. One store after another, the doors were also tightly closed. In just a few moments, a street that was originally very lively became empty, and even half of the figure could not be seen.
