Chapter 39: A Chance Encounter in the West Market

Since the emperor has taken the initiative to approve the fake, it is impossible to say that he does not appreciate it. Moreover, Qin Mubai also wanted to go home and get some change of clothes and daily necessities. So he mounted the fire cloud horse and left the palace.

Chang'an City is too big, and if you want to walk back on foot, it will take an hour or two. Huoyun was fast and light, and it didn't take long to arrive in the West Market.

The West Market is the largest market today, and it is not much more than the commercial pedestrian streets of the 21st century metropolis. After Qin Mubai came to Datang, he had not carefully visited the West Market. Today, he stole half a day of free time on the way, so he got off his horse and walked all the way.

Datang's Chang'an, without exaggeration, is now the world's largest international metropolis. In the Central Plains, a large agricultural country, Chang'an has a strong commercial urban atmosphere. This smell is especially strong in the West Market.

Many foreign merchants came from the Silk Road with rare treasures, aiming directly at Chang'an. I hope to find special products such as tea, silk and ceramics from the Tang Dynasty and sell them to my country. Many Hu people don't want to leave when they come to Chang'an, and they want to settle down here and take root as their goal of graduation, which is quite similar to the situation that many people struggle for a green card in the United States in the 21st century.

In foreign countries, the status of the Tang people has always been the highest. It's like foreign envoys coming to the Tang Dynasty, and they all treat ordinary Tang people with humility. Our Han and Tang Dynasty costumes are not something that Hu people can wear. Unless you have obtained permanent residency, you dare to change into gorgeous silk Tang costumes and be proud. When foreign envoys came to the Tang Dynasty to visit the Heavenly Khan Li Shimin, they were rewarded with treasures and beauties and were not given a set of Tang costumes and rejoiced - this is like getting the Tang Dynasty green card, and having the right to live in the Heavenly Empire. Therefore, many envoys, students, and businessmen who came to Tang were reluctant to leave after coming to Datang. Here you marry a wife, have children, and have offspring. What attracts them is not only the prosperity and splendid culture of the Tang Dynasty, but also the open mind of this empire is the core driving force of the sea.

Because of this, many talented people from foreign countries stayed in Datang, and while enjoying the life of Datang, they also promoted their talents and their own culture here. On the basis of the Central Plains civilization, the Tang Dynasty has integrated many of the most colorful exotic cultures, which are as colorful as a hundred battles, and at the same time, it has also led to the prosperity of production and technology. Such a virtuous circle is the real reason why Datang is now at the top of the nation and the country. The inclusive Datang and the Chinese nation have also led the progress of the entire era like a dragon head from this time.

People in the 21st century know that openness and inclusiveness can keep pace with the times, otherwise why should we reform and open up? The Tang people for more than 1,000 years understood this truth, but the Manchu people more than 1,000 years later did not understand this truth. As a result, there are only Chinatowns in the United States, and there are no 'Qing people's streets', but only museums used to display treasures looted from the Qing court.

Compared with the two, Qin Mubai felt that it was better to be a Tang person. The Manchus, that is used to hate and overthrow.

The foreign population in the West Market is the largest, and more than ninety percent of the Hu people still retain their own national clothing. At first glance, it looks like a hundred flowers blooming and competing for beauty. The plaques of the merchants are dazzling, and the streets are forty or fifty meters wide, and there is an endless flow of cars, horses, and people, and they are grinding shoulders with each other. Some flamboyant orchids wear veils and crop tops, dancing passionate and seductive hu dances to attract diners.

Walking on the West Market with a horse, Qin Mubai felt that he was so inconspicuous like a drop in the sea, but he smelled the rich atmosphere of this prosperous era, which was really refreshing. He couldn't help but enjoy himself a little intoxicated, what a proud thing he was to be a Tang man.

After wandering around for a while, Qin Mubai was greedily admiring the lively market, and inadvertently glanced at a rather imposing wine shop. The liquor shop was taller and more ornate than any of the buildings next to it, and it was very new, as if it had just opened.

The name of the liquor store is also a little scary - the first wine in the world.

It is rare to find a shop that is not named after a restaurant, shop, home, or stack, but after wine.

The storefront gate was tall enough to drive into three or four carriages side by side. At this moment, a large number of people are coming in and out. An obvious phenomenon - the people who walked in were full of red light and excited, and from the perspective of clothing and temperament, they were either rich or noble, or high-ranking officials, or talented and beautiful people. Most of the people who came out staggered and supported each other, and their mouths were still shouting 'good wine, good wine', and the posture of the profligate skeleton formed a very strong contrast with the dignified and elegant when they first entered.

"The No. 1 wine in the world...... There's something interesting about this shop. Qin Mubai didn't think about it twice, and was about to walk by with the horse. I couldn't help but hear a shout from upstairs: "Hey-Third Brother Qin!" ”

"Who called me?" Qin Mubai looked up and saw that a big black head poked out of an accord on the second floor, and he was grinning at him: "It's me!" Yuwen Hongtai! Third Brother Qin is so unfortunate, please come up and have two drinks, right? Oh no, I'll go down and meet you! ”

"It's a coincidence, I came up by myself." I haven't seen Yuwen Hongtai for many days, and Qin Mubai was also very happy when he met him by chance, so he led his horse and walked towards the store. A junior in the store immediately took the reins, and he was stunned for a moment: "Peerless treasure horse!" Dare to ask the guest officer, what kind of horse feed should be fed? ”

"The best." Qin Mubai threw the horsewhip and a stack of copper plates to the little er, and strode into the store.

As soon as you step into this hotel, you will smell a light fragrance. A woman with a face like powder and a good figure stood in front of Qin Mubai in a bearded man's clothes. Glancing at him up and down, the woman clenched her fists and said, "Brother Tai wants to drink, or do you want to listen to music?" ”

"Are you...... The second child who runs in the store? Qin Mubai couldn't help but be a little surprised. Xiao Er in this kind of costume, even if he has never seen it on TV.

The men's woman smiled and showed her teeth slightly: "It's the second child in this store." The shop's 'world's first liquor' from the owner to the cook's handyman, except for the little guy who leads the customers, the others are all women. ”

Qin Mubai glanced around the store, the counter shopkeeper and the little two who shuttled back and forth in the store, all wearing a unified men's hufu with a tight cheongsam, a black gauze shirt and gold silk cloud boots, and a soap leather waist to promote green Yingbaoyu...... Although there is no trace of exposure, it makes people feel amazingly sexy, like being in a flower.

What's even more rare is that Qin Mubai seems to be difficult to pick out a slightly ugly character from these women.

"Your owner is such a genius at business." Qin Mubai smiled slightly, casually gave her some copper plates, and said, "Lead me up to the second floor of the Accord, I already have a friend who opened a wine party there." ”

"Brother, please." The woman's dusty jade hand was raised, and the charming and vulgar jade face led the way with a smile. The gently twisted waist is as flexible as a water snake, and the delicate buttocks wrapped in a tight beard are lightly twisted, like a magnet to attract people's attention.

Qin Mubai couldn't help but shake his head and smile: The owner of this shop is undoubtedly a business ghost, and he knows men's minds best. Most of the men in the Tang Dynasty are amorous and lustful, but men have always thought that wives are not as good as concubines and concubines, and it is better to steal than to steal. Just talking about these waiter chicks, all of them are dressed tightly, they are charming and sexy. Although seductive, it is not coquettish; It's enthusiastic, but it's not sticky. Such a woman is much more attractive than the kiln sister who splits her legs when she sees money in the kiln.

It doesn't matter if there is a flower wine to drink here, or whether there is erotic service. Just such a fragrant atmosphere that hangs the stomach is enough to make more than ninety percent of men want to stay and forget to return.

Walking up the stairs, the tall Yuwen Hongtai bumped into him head-on, and laughed when he saw him: "Great! I haven't seen Third Brother Qin for a few days, please come in and sit down! ”

Qin Mubai smiled and greeted him and said, "Who are some of them?" ”

"Yin Yang is here, the others are all some brothers of Wu Wangfu, you know all the third brother!" Yuwen Hongtai laughed like a bell, "Come on, come on!" I haven't seen you for many days, and the brothers all want to kill the third brother of Qin! ”

The two of them had just walked into the Accord, and a string of people stood up and clasped their fists and bowed: "I've seen Third Brother Qin!" ”

"Oh, what brothers!" Qin Mubai laughed and returned the salute, "It's really fateful!" Everyone sits, you're welcome! ”

The Accord was very large, with a large area left in the middle, and everyone sat around the wall. Qin Mubai was unceremoniously pushed to the upper seat by everyone. When the wine is put on the table, the pot is unusually fragrant. Qin Mubai smelled it for a while and knew in his heart: This is a high degree of liquor!

The so-called first liquor in the world, does it mean this high level of liquor? Isn't this method of making wine only known to me, Mei Niang, Zheng Fengchi and others? Could it be that they opened this wine shop?

"Haha, Third Brother Qin, meet again after a long absence, if you don't get drunk today, you won't return! This wine is really exciting, known as the first wine in the world, and it is really not covered! Come, pay tribute to the third brother of Qin first! Yuwen Hongtai laughed and raised the wine cup.

"One? I don't dare. I don't have much time today, and I'll go back to the palace later. It's better to drink lightly. "Qin Mubai naturally understands the power of this wine better than anyone else. If Yuwen Hongtai and the others heard that this wine was called 'Qin Xian Wine', I am afraid they would only be even more surprised. However, this restaurant still seems to be a bit taboo, and it didn't dare to advertise the name of the emperor's imperial wine.

"Okay, okay, let's drink. Since Third Brother Qin is inconvenient to get drunk, then the brothers will come together to pay tribute to you! Yuwen Hongtai roared, and Yin Yang and more than a dozen other soldiers raised their glasses together.

Everyone talked and laughed for a while, drank wine and ate some food, and then three musicians came into the cabinet. One holds the lute, the other holds the flute, and the other holds the lute.

The three Meiji, all of them like immortals, turned the eyes of Yuwen Hongtai and others green. But to everyone's surprise, the beautiful girl holding the pipa was helped and groped into the walk-although her eyes were big, beautiful and watery, she seemed to see nothing, she was a blind girl.
