Chapter Seventy-Two
Fang Jing and the four of them sat and rested after eating, their eyes staring at the outside gate of the guest house, it was already dark outside, and there were no pedestrians on the road.
Fang Jing got up and raised his legs and walked outside the store, wanting to see how the night was in Chang'an City, maybe wanting to see the night view of Chang'an City.
It was pitch black outside, and I couldn't see anything, so I thought it was already late March, and the moon wouldn't have risen so early, so it was estimated that it would be very late.
Fang Jing got up and returned to the table, looking at the three little babies, the clothes on their bodies were still torn, the little babies wanted to keep the best clothes that had not been torn, and they would go to Chang'an City after wearing them tomorrow.
"Big head, small tree, small grass, go back to the room and go to bed early, tomorrow morning we will go to see this Chang'an City, take a good bath today, and rest early." Fang Jing looked at the three little babies and said.
"Okay, Brother Jing." The three little babies also responded to Fang Jing.
"Man, we haven't taken a shower in more than ten days, take us to the shower in a moment." Fang Jing shouted to the guy.
"Okay officer." The guy responded.
After Fang Jing and the four of them took a bath, they put on the untorn clothes, and threw the rags directly, which made the three little babies feel distressed, and the four of them went back to the room to sleep, and they may be looking forward to waiting for the two-day trip to Chang'an in their dreams.
At the beginning of the sun, Fang Jing and the four of them woke up, looked around, opened the window after staying, and looked into the distance, the direct rays of the sun made Fang Jing a little unaccustomed, and he hurriedly turned his head and shook it, the three little babies also looked at Fang Jing by the window with sleepy eyes, and Fang Jing also looked back at the three little babies.
Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty is also the Daxing City of Sui, Chang'an City is eight or nine kilometers long and wide, the city wall is five zhang high, and the fang wall of Fang Jing's current Li Fang is also two or three zhang high; Chang'an City sits in the north and faces south, built in the way of Qiankun Liuyao, a total of one hundred single eight miles, corresponding to one hundred single eight immortals in the sky, there are two cities on each side of the east and west, for the east and west two cities, the west city is dominated by foreign commercial industry, the east city is mainly based on the official and noble administration, selling rare and exotic treasures, Chang'an City was built twice in the Tang Dynasty, and later added the Daming Palace in the northeast corner, as well as Xingqing Palace, in the late Tang Dynasty, the capital was moved to Luoyang, demolished some, and later was damaged by most of the Huangchao uprising at the end of the Tang Dynasty, until Zhu Wen held Tang Zhaozong hostage to Luoyang, Demolished all the houses in Chang'an City, relocated important objects and houses to Luoyang, so that the Sui Daxing Tang Chang'an City has never reappeared.
Fang Jing looked at Chang'an City from the window, although she didn't know that the current Tang Chang'an City would be no longer what it was in a few hundred years, Fang Jing just quietly admired it, maybe it was because this was the capital of the Tang Dynasty.
The three little babies also got off the house, standing by the window and looking out, Fang Jing thought it was funny, so he hugged Xiaocao and pointed to some places and said.
After Fang Jing and the four of them washed, they put on the burden they had prepared yesterday, took the long sword and walked out of the door of the guest house.
Fang Jing's Huaiyuanfang where they live is close to Xiyanpingmen and Xishi to the north, which is a good location.
The length of each mile square is also nearly a kilometer, and the width is about 600 meters, of course, the size of each mile square is always different, and the larger or smaller ones will not deviate too much.
The layout of Chang'an City is mainly built with feng shui Qiankun Liuyao, and naturally the construction of each lane is the same, and the streets are also very wide, at least to ensure that horse-drawn carriages can be driven.
Fang Jing took the three babies out of the lane slowly, heading north, Fang Jing thought that he would sell the rest of the leather goods first, so as to prepare some copper coins.
"Little Ma Xiao Erer Lang ......" Fang Jing took the three little babies and began to sing again, the three little babies also sang along, the big head held the younger brothers and sisters with two hands, Fang Jing carried a big burden, holding a long sword in his hand, a group of four, walking happily all the way, Fang Jing would also introduce the three little babies from time to time.
After the four of them left the village, they looked at both sides of the street, and sometimes there were people going from one end of the street to the other end of the street, and there were many corners, and there was a street about a mile.
Fang Jing and the four of them walked along the street, but there were no gates between the streets, only four doors could enter the street, of course, this could not affect the snitch, at least not Fang Jing, who originally wanted to be a snitch.
Came to the gate of the West Market, there was more than enough noise in the West Market, it was really full of people, just now the four of them had felt the excitement of the West Market not far away, and the noise could be heard a mile away.
"Brother Jing, where is this? That's a lot of people. Xiaocao raised his head to look at Fang Jing, and Datou and Xiaoshu also looked at Fang Jing.
"This is the West Market, you see it's all buying and selling things, let's hurry in and don't get in the way of others." Hurriedly took the three little babies from the gate of the West Market to the West Market.
The four walls of the West Market, eight gates, regularly open and close the doors, most of the merchants are in the east and west cities, but there are also some commercial houses or inns in each market.
The size of the West Market is equivalent to the size of eight miles, and there are basically all kinds of commercial stalls in this West Market, selling some common things, and of course, there are also many things transported from the Western Regions.
Fang Jing walked towards the West Market with the burden of leather goods on his back, and the three little babies followed Fang Jing closely, maybe they were afraid of losing it, mainly because there were too many people, and there were a lot of people from the Western Regions.
When she came to the stall where she bought and sold leather goods, Fang Jing took the three little babies and walked into the stall, but she didn't care what others said or thought.
"Shopkeeper, do you collect fur?" Fang Jing directly opened the baggage, and all the fur was scattered one by one.
"You're not worth much, let's pay six times together." The shopkeeper raised his eyes and looked at it casually and gave a price, these furs are some rabbit roe skins, and naturally they are not worth much copper coins.
"Oh, that's fine." Fang Jing picked up the other two small burdens in the baggage and carried them on their backs together, handing the baggage sold to the furrier to a fellow.
"Shopkeeper, you can string the copper coins with a rope, I can carry it." Fang Jing saw the guy in the stall give Fang Jing a big basket, and the basket contained six copper coins.
"Okay." The shopkeeper directly asked the guy to string the copper coins with a rope and drag them to Fang Jing.
Fang Jing didn't speak, and directly took the copper coins and took the little babies away.
"Big head, little tree, little grass, look, there's something to eat, see? Let's go get something to eat. Fang Jing's eyes saw that there was something selling red fruits not far away, which felt like dates.
With the three babies trotting towards a stall of Hu Shang, looking at the things on the stall, Fang Jing felt stupid, this is not a jujube at all.
"Big head, little tree, little grass, have you ever seen this? This is delicious, we'll buy some later, and I'll buy more and send it to my little sister to eat. Fang Jing looked at the things on the stall in front of her, thinking that she had to bring some good things to her little sister, anyway, when she came to Chang'an City this time, she had to bring some things back to her little sister.
"Brother Jing, what is this, Honghong, can you eat it?" Xiaocao looked at the things in front of him, and he didn't know it, but he wanted to eat it, mainly because he felt that the red thing was quite appetizing.
"Can you come here?" Hu Shang asked softly to Fang Jing in a not very pure Tang language.
"How much does this cost? How much is it? Is it expensive? Fang Jing looked at Hu Shang and looked at the foreigner in front of him, well, it's a foreigner, at least that's what Fang Jing thinks.
"Guest officer, it's not expensive, twenty dollars a catty, and there are still a few hundred catties where I live." Hu Shang said the price and quantity to Fang Jing.
"Well, let's do it, I'll buy some first, and in the afternoon, you send two hundred catties to Huaiyuanfang Minghui Guest House, and I'll give you some money first." Fang Jing looked at the dates in front of her, her heart was really itchy, this is a good thing transported from Arabia, sweet and nourishing, it is really rare.
Fang Jing took two pieces of money and handed it to Hu Shang, and asked Hu Shang to pack a pound to eat, Fang Jing is not afraid that he will run away, a foreigner, you can't run anywhere, this is all proof that you can do business in the West Market, you dare to run, haha, then congratulations, you can make a skewer.
"Big heads, small trees, and small grass, they all eat separately, this is called dates, but it is sweet, only in Persia." Fang Jing handed the whole bag of dried fruits to the eldest few people, let the three little babies eat it separately, and grabbed three of them and stuffed them into their mouths, not afraid of being poisoned.
"May I ask the guest officer, what time will it be sent in the afternoon?" Hu Shang cautiously asked Fang Jing.
"In the afternoon, I was in the inn. My name is Fang Jing, and when the time comes, you will know when you call me. After Fang Jing replied to Hu Shang's words, she took the three little babies to continue her trip to the West Market.
Dates, scientific name dates, also called Persian dates, dates, is the fruit of the date palm tree, belongs to the fruit of tropical subthermal regions, with the Arab Middle East as the main production area, the flesh is soft and soft like syrup, sweet as honey, dates can not only be eaten, but also can be soaked in water after fermentation, made into a drink to drink, with the use of tonifying and benefiting qi, cough and lungs, phlegm and asthma.
Fang Jing walked in front, carrying two burdens, and the three little babies were eating dates in the back, feeling very much like the eldest brother taking the lead with a group of little Luo Luo.
The four of them went to a place that sold some food, Fang Jing took the three little babies to sit down and order some food, sat down and ate breakfast, it was considered to fill the stomach, and there was still a place to go shopping today, mainly to sell the remaining four furs, and then buy some clothes, and then take a good look at this Chang'an City.
After breakfast, the four of them started to wander around the West Market again, and when they saw a lot of food and play, as long as Fang Jing took a fancy to them, they would basically buy some, especially some foreign things, such as dried apricots, raisins, etc., of course, they also bought some small toys and handed them to the three little guys to play with.
The three little guys really haven't seen too many things, many of them have never eaten before, but they have eaten them all today, and there are a lot of things outside the territory, but there are also a lot of things from Datang.
"Brother Jing, what is that?" Xiaocao pointed to the place not far ahead, where livestock was sold, and asked Fang Jing.
"Oh, that's called a camel, you saw it yesterday, it's an animal that only exists on the edge of the desert, it is dedicated to sitting people and pulling goods, just like cows, donkeys and horses, but they live on the other side of the desert." Fang Jing had to explain it to the little guy, and by the way, let them know that this thing was the same as a cow, a horse and a donkey.
"Oh, Brother Jing, what is that?" The little guy pointed to a yak with a cub.
"It's called a yak, it's a cow, it's actually the same as the cows we've seen, it's just because they live in a place where it snows every day, so they have such a long fur, otherwise they would have frozen to death." Fang Jing couldn't explain the 100,000 whys again.
"Brother Jing, what is that?" The little girl kept asking.
Fang Jing sometimes didn't want to answer, so he had to leave the place where he specialized in selling livestock and walk in the direction of the north gate of Xishi, Fang Jing felt that if he continued like this, he would have to tire people to death just by explaining all kinds of things.
The group of four people came to the place near the north gate, Fang Jing saw that there was a store that also collected furs, thinking that he would quickly sell these four furs today, otherwise, it would be inconvenient to carry them on his back.
"Shopkeeper, do I collect these four furs? Intact, without any damage, hunted some time ago. Fang Jing entered the store and opened the bag to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper walked over and took a closer look, and kept rummaging through it with both hands.
"Your four furs are good, how many shots are you going to make?" The shopkeeper looked at Fang Jing and asked.
"The shopkeeper, these four furs, three tigers and one piece, are all complete, the individual is large, it is very rare, the shopkeeper is estimated to have not seen much, you can take a look." Although Fang Jing didn't know the price of Chang'an City, he thought that the two pieces sold in Pingli County could be sold for two hundred yuan, not to mention that these four furs, each of which was very large, how could he get four pieces of five or six hundred yuan or more in Chang'an City, otherwise how could it be called Chang'an City.
