The most prosperous places in Chang'an are the East Market and the West Market. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Due to the proximity of Taiji Palace, Daming Palace, Xingqing Palace, the three major royal residences of the East Market, there are many kings and grandsons and nobles and dignitaries in the surrounding squares, and the city is mostly rare from all directions, and high-class luxuries. The West Market is the real daily commodity trading club, especially it is close to the starting point of the Chang'an Silk Road, and there are many foreign businessmen living in the surrounding squares, which is an international trade market. There were merchants from Central Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, Goryeo, Baekje, Silla, Japan and other countries and regions, among which the Hu merchants from Central Asia, Persia and Daeshoku were the most.

As soon as Pei Min entered the West Market, he was dazzled by the prosperity of the market.

Traders from all walks of life, foreign businessmen, local and foreign residents: people come and go, gather in a long line, and on this ordinary day, it is as lively as the New Year's holiday.

Pei Min was worried that his little chestnut hair would be crowded and crazy, so he had already dismounted and led him to walk.

After visiting a few shops, I found that most of the tea in the Tang Dynasty was divided into four types, coarse tea, loose tea, end tea, and cake tea, and the production process was completely different from the green tea he often drank in later generations. Pei Min asked a lot, is there any tea that can be brewed and drunk directly, but the shopkeeper looked at Pei Min with a hillbilly expression, and said, "Can you eat green onions, ginger and peppercorns without boiling in the tea?" ”

After humbly asking for advice, Pei Min knew that the tea here in the Tang Dynasty was drunk for condiments: put onions, ginger and peppercorns if you like spicy flavor, enlarged jujube cinnamon bark if you like sweet taste, orange peel mint if you like cool taste, and crisp cheese if you like milky flavor...... The most unacceptable thing is that butter is flushed, and lard and mutton fat are also a way to drink......

Pei Min really couldn't imagine what it was like to have a cup full of oily tea......

It's not that the tea here can't be drunk directly, and most of the people who drink tea directly are sick, because before the prevalence of tea tasting, tea was a medicine, and only patients would drink it, and by the way, the tea leaves would be chewed and swallowed together......

Pei Min didn't want to be an alternative in the eyes of others, so he bought some of the four teas to see which one tasted similar to the green tea of later generations, and bought some mint, which was easier to accept than the spicy, sweet, milky, and cool tea.

After buying the necessities, Pei Min didn't plan to go back like this, since he came to the most prosperous street market in the world, how could he take a good stroll.

He took the little chestnut hair and looked left and right, looking at the new things that were not available in the future, going up to touch and play, and not spending money to buy them, just to have a good time.

Suddenly, an old Taoist priest with a crane hair and a childish face rushed out of the corner of the street in a panic, the old Taoist priest's beard and hair were all silver-white, but his face was full of red light, running like flying, and he couldn't tell his age at all. He rushed out of the alley, avoiding the crowds on the street, and was gone in just a few breaths. At this moment, another group of fierce monks rushed out from the corner of the street, seven of them were young and strong, but one by one was like an old dog in summer, sticking out their tongues and panting breathlessly, and some of them also shouted: "What about the stinky Taoist, where is the stinky Taoist dead?" ”

They looked left and right, and there was still the figure of the old Taoist priest.

The monks were particularly domineering, grabbing pedestrians and asking if they had seen an old Taoist priest, with a bad attitude and ruthless methods.

Pei Min deliberately walked past them.

A monk stood in front of him and said sharply: "I saw an old Taoist priest, wearing a Taoist uniform, running like an old dog." ”

Pei Min thought to himself, you are the old dog, pointed in the opposite direction and said, "There was a man in Taoist clothes who ran over there just now, I don't know if it was the old Taoist priest you were looking for." ”

The evil monks glanced at each other and chased in the direction Pei Min said.

The people around are disgusted with the evil monk and barbarism, even if there are those who see the whereabouts of the old Taoist priest, they will not say anything.

Pei Min didn't care about this and continued to tour his West Market.

After walking through more than ten shops, Pei Min was also an eye-opener, the rare things of this era are not less than those of later generations, there are many fresh and strange things, and he doesn't even know what they are and how to use them.

Unconsciously, he came to the accommodation street, surrounded by wine shops, restaurants, inns, and inns, Pei Min didn't feel hungry, and thought about walking across this street quickly to see what else was interesting elsewhere. Suddenly, there was a commotion on the side of the street, and a frightened cry was heard from the top.

Pei Min was slightly surprised, looked up, and saw an eight- or nine-year-old child holding the eaves with both hands outside the window of the three-story restaurant next to him, kicking his feet around, and was in danger of falling at any time.

There was a woman at the window who tried to pull the child, but the child had a free hand to pick up the woman's hand......

Pei Min is not good at screaming, the child's strength is limited, it is not easy for him to grasp the eaves with both hands, but this time he has his hands empty, and the strength of the whole person is hanging on one hand, where is it possible to support it.

Really! The boy had one free hand, and the whole person fell down in the stabbing obliquely, hanging with one hand, and there was a possibility of falling at any time.

"That kid is strong, and he may not be able to catch it if he really falls. It is not good if you are injured yourself, breaking your child's hands and feet or hurting your life. ”

Pei Min saw that there was a protruding awning awning on the right hand, and he didn't care about anything else, so he stepped on the back of the little chestnut fur and jumped on the awning, and was about to climb up to the second floor along the awning to pick up the child.

But the child couldn't hold on anymore and fell down.

Pei Min immediately broke off his feet, rushed forward violently with the elastic force of the awning, intercepted him in the air, twisted his body to protect the child in his arms, and then slammed his back into the window on the second floor.

Pei Min only felt that the vest was hot and painful, and looked at the almost stupid child in his arms and smiled slightly: "Are you okay?" ”

The child has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looks like an old man with big ears, but he seems to be a little frightened, and he was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses and cried "wow".

Pei Min smiled reassuringly, took him in his arms and walked upstairs.

Upstairs was also in a mess, and the beautiful woman fell to the ground for some reason, motionless.

The child's crying stopped, struggled down, and ran to the beautiful woman, crying out: "Mother, mother! ”

The beautiful woman did not react at all.

The child cried with a sad face, looked at Pei Min, and begged: "Save my mother, save my mother!" But because Pei Min saved him like a hero, he regarded him as omnipotent.

The child's appearance was extremely pitiful, Pei Min looked embarrassed, he was not a doctor, he really couldn't do anything in this regard, thinking about whether to take the woman to the hospital......

The old Taoist priest appeared beside him inexplicably, and said to him: "This child's mother, Lao Dao, has been saved, Lao Dao is Sun Simiao's first disciple Liu Shenwei, ask Gongzi to do me a favor, bring a message to Sun Pu of Changshou Fang, and ask him to go to Yuzhenguan to find Ye Fashan for help, the sooner the better, it will be too late to change." As he spoke, he took out the acupuncture bag from his arms, touched the pulse of the woman's neck, and smiled kindly at the child: "Don't cry, child, your mother has a qi disease, and she was frightened by stimulation, as long as you prick a few stitches, you can wake up!" ”
