Children, don't be greedy, it's the New Year after Laba.

In the blink of an eye, Yun Yao tasted Laba porridge and began to think that if she returned to the interstellar era one day, she would definitely make a lot of money by writing a food guide in ancient times.

On the day of Laba, Qi Jing rarely did not study or participate in various literary meetings, got up early and ate Laba porridge, changed into new clothes, and took Yun Yao to play outside.

At this time, most people have already prepared the New Year's goods, and there are not many people on the street, at least there is no such crowded state of people next to each other, Yun Yao changed her clothes and went out with Qi Jing, after the two of them got into the carriage, Yun Yao opened the curtain and took a look, turned her head and asked Qi Jing: "Where are we going?" ”

Qi Jing waved his hand: "I haven't thought of it yet, you wait a minute." ”

After speaking, he raised the curtain of the car and shouted to a fifteen or sixteen-year-old offspring carrying a basket outside: "Little brother, come here." ”

The latter smiled and ran to salute: "What did the guest officer tell me to do?" ”

Qi Jing stretched out his hand and held seven or eight copper coins in his palm: "Here's a Chang'an mileage." ”

"Okay." Housheng took out a map from the basket and handed it over, Qi Jing reached out to take it, threw the money to Xiao Housheng and then lowered the curtain, Yun Yao exclaimed: "There are still maps for sale?" ”

Qi Jing handed her the map: "There is no other place, because Chang'an City is too big, and there are many tourists, naturally there are people who sell maps, and now selling maps has already become an industry, feeding several families." ”

Yun Yao was even more surprised, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect it, our days in Chang'an are not short." I didn't even know there were maps for sale here, but now it's good that we can go anywhere with this thing. ”

Qi Jing leaned his head over and the two of them began to study the map, and after looking at it for a while, Qi Jing pointed to a place: "I only ate a bowl of porridge in the morning, and I'm a little hungry at this time, let's go taste the meatloaf of Granny Cao's house, and then buy a few dried fruits in Song Xiaoyi's dried fruit shop next to me and take them to Vashe to listen to ventriloquism, how about watching the puppet show?" ”

"Okay." Yun Yao was extremely happy when she heard this: "Try the fish soup of Sister-in-law Song's house again." ”

"Done." Qi Jing agreed, lifted the curtain and said to the coachman. He lowered the curtain and waited for the carriage to move around before continuing to study the map with Yun Yao.

Yun Yao exclaimed while watching: "Chang'an City is really big. It's much bigger than Zhenting Mansion, I originally said that there must be more than 400,000 people in Chang'an City, but now it seems that there is more than that. ”

Qi Jing smiled: "400,000 people were at the beginning of the founding of the country, and now there are almost one million people." Speaking of which. There is no place where there are more people than Chang'an City. Even the capital of Northern Liang, Yandu, is only more than 200,000 people, and Xidi is now prosperous, but the capital Qiandu has a population of only two or three hundred thousand. A few years ago, Xidi's envoys came to Chang'an and almost made jokes when they saw such individuals. ”

Yun Yao hurriedly asked what the joke was, Qi Jing took her and said slowly: "The envoy thinks that Qiandu is the most prosperous capital in the world, and thinks that Xidi is rich. ”

Speaking of this, Qi Jing couldn't help but laugh first: "The envoy is still not convinced, only said that there are many people in Qiandu, everyone on the street stretches out their arms, and their sleeves can be connected into a cloud, and then, he was taken to the street by a small official, just in time for the Dragon Boat Festival, many people are preparing things for the Dragon Boat Festival, there are many people on the street, not to mention stretching their sleeves, and their arms can't be stretched. ”

Before he finished speaking, Yun Yao had already laughed on Qi Jing, and stretched out his hand to beat Qi Jing: "Don't say it, the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty are quite capable, so I'm afraid that Xidi's envoy won't dare to brag anymore." ”

As he was talking, he heard the coachman say, "Master, wife, I'm at Granny Cao's house." ”

As soon as Yun Yao heard that she would no longer be entangled in the matter of Xidi's envoys, she followed Qi Jing to get out of the car and pick out two kinds of meatloaf, the same mutton and the same chicken, Qi Jing asked for three, and asked the coachman to choose a meatloaf with several fillings, and bought the meatloaf, and several people went to buy some dried fruits, and drove to Song's sister-in-law's house to eat fish soup.

After walking for another quarter of an hour, they arrived at Vasher, and the two got out of the car and went down the small alley, first to listen to Li Jinsheng's ventriloquism, and then to watch the puppet show.

Yun Yao has been working at home for a long time, or just worrying about the marriage of several sisters in the family, she hasn't played so happily for a few days, this time she eats and plays very happily, she wants to play again after watching the puppet show, Qi Jing thought about it and took her to a small teahouse, Yun Yao was still a little unhappy, pouted and said: "What's the point of this, it's nothing more than drinking tea and listening to books, I was tired of listening to books when I was in Zhenting Mansion." ”

Qi Jing coaxed her upstairs with a good voice, and after sitting down, he called Dr. Tea for tea.

While waiting, Qi Jing explained to Yun Yao: "This is not an ordinary place to drink tea, and everyone who comes here is to play tea fighting." ”

"Tea fights?" Yun Yao was surprised for a while: "What kind of tea is fighting, drinking tea and fighting, how to fight?" ”

Qi Jing shook his head amusedly: "You'll know in a while." ”

Just as Dr. Tea came up with tea, Qi Jing asked, "Is there a tea fight today?" ”

Dr. Tea smiled: "Look at what you said, we don't have tea here one day, you wait, there will be a moment." ”

Qi Jing rewarded the money and said to Dr. Tea: "We don't know much about tea fighting, you can find an idler who can speak and talk about tea, and come over to help explain a thing or two." ”

"Okay." Dr. Tea agreed to leave, and after a while, he brought a young man wearing a green shirt, a big red flower on his head, and a powder on his face, the young man nodded and smiled: "My surname is Wang, the second in the family, and the guest will be called Wang Xiaoyi." ”

"Sit down." Qi Jing looked at the young man's words and gave it, and he seemed to be neat and cheerful, and beckoned him to sit down with great satisfaction.

Wang Xiaoyi didn't drink tea when he sat down, but relied on his words to tell Qi Jing and Yun Yao about the new things in Chang'an City, he was really able to speak, and the things he said were very strange, so that Yun Yao listened.

After a while, he heard a commotion, Wang Xiaoyi immediately got up, looked around, and smiled at Qi Jing again: "Brother Qi, the tea bucket is here, this time the bucket is a long-mouthed small copper kettle, although it is not unusual, but a few people in the tea bucket can play a lot of tricks, and it is good to look at it." ”

As soon as his words landed, three neatly dressed men came over, each of them with a white towel on their shoulders and a small copper kettle with a long mouth, and the three of them went to the middle of the room to greet each other with their fists, and began to speak cruelly after passing their names, because most of them were male guests, and they were not taboo in their words, and they said a lot of vulgar words, making them laugh and lean back.

Yun Yao was a little speechless for a while, so she concentrated on eating snacks and drinking tea.

She only drank two sips of tea before she heard a burst of cheers, and saw that the man in the middle turned his trouser leg upside down, and then, the small copper kettle was thrown from her right hand to her left hand, and a white crane flashed its wings, and the copper spout flowed out of a stream of tea, which accurately arrived in a small celadon bowl not far away.

The man in the middle raised his eyebrows triumphantly, and the man on the left flipped on his side twice in succession, and poured two bowls of tea without spilling water in another move.

The man on the right threw up the copper kettle, threw the small copper kettle from left to right, and hung the pot on the toes, and threw the pot to the top of his head with a flick of his feet.

As soon as she appeared like this, there was another burst of cheers, and Yun Yao also watched it, clapping her hands while applauding.

Her clapping made everyone look this way, and when they saw Yun Yao, almost all the men's eyes were straight, and they were looking at her, where did they still have the heart to look at the tea.

"It's boring." Yun Yao pouted angrily: "Don't look at it, let's go back." ”

Qi Jing nodded, got up and wanted to reward Wang Xiaoyi with silver, but at this time, he watched the Son of Heaven, who claimed to be Mr. Han, staggering upstairs with two eunuchs in civilian clothes.

Seeing Emperor Chengping, Qi Jing couldn't say that he left.

Seeing that Emperor Chengping also saw him, Qi Jing had to go over to salute: "You are also here, I have given you a salute." ”

Yun Yao got up and blessed slightly, Emperor Chengping was happy: "I didn't expect to touch the two of you, don't be polite, sit, sit ......"

When Qi Jing and Yun Yao sat down, Emperor Chengping smiled and asked, "What, you also like to fight tea?" ”

Qi Jing smiled: "I can't say whether I like it or not, but it's lively, the three gentlemen just now fought very well, and I haven't seen it so good before." ”

Yun Yao also nodded and smiled: "It's excellent." ”

Emperor Chengping waved his hand: "Where is this good, you haven't seen a good tea fight......"

Before he finished speaking, the inner supervisor behind him smiled and said: "Our husband has a good time fighting tea, and it is better to divide tea. ”

Emperor Chengping had a smile on his face: "But it's a vulgar thing to play, although you can play, you don't like it very much, it's not as elegant as sharing tea." ”

"Divide the tea?" Yun Yao felt that she had heard a lot of strange things today, and she couldn't turn around.

As soon as she asked, Wang Xiaoyi hurriedly explained: "We also have tea doctors who can share tea in our teahouse, and they all have a very good time, if the little lady is willing to look at me, I will call you over to take a look." ”

Yun Yao was about to ask Wang Xiaoyi to call someone, but Emperor Chengping waved his hand: "There is no need to call someone, if Mrs. Qi is willing to look at it, I will be ugly." ”

"Ugh." Wang Xiaoyi smiled and agreed, and immediately beckoned to come and make tea and soup.

He took the ground tea powder and boiling water, and took the bowl and spoon for dividing the tea, Emperor Chengping took it over and checked it first, and asked Wang Xiaoyi to change a tea bowl and a smaller spoon.

After that, Emperor Chengping poured the tea powder into the tea bowl to brew, the tea soup was brewed, and after a while, a layer of tea oil floated up, it seemed that the tea soup was thick, and it was a little different from the ordinary drink.

Emperor Chengping smiled at Yun Yao: "Mrs. Qi, take a good look." ”

Yun Yao pulled Qi Jing by the hand, and the two of them came over together. (To be continued.) )
