Chapter XVI
Seeing Li Tai struggling to assemble a pistol in the rickety carriage, Gu Qing got up and stepped out of the carriage, "When I get rich in the future, you can envy it." ”
Sitting back on his donkey cart, there were Tang Dynasty army escorts along the way, but he was a lot more down-to-earth, thinking that he could do business in Chang'an, make a fortune and then build a big mansion, and sell hundreds of maids, "Oh, this day is so beautiful!" ”
Sun Simiao, who was also sitting in the donkey cart, looked at Gu Qingxiao's indescribable face, and couldn't help but sigh, this kid has no interest in medical skills at all, but likes money, and although he has no bad intentions, he is also angry.
Looking at the potato seedlings and tea leaves in the donkey cart, Gu Qing's eyes lit up, "It's all money, money!" It's all big houses and women. ”
"What do you want?" Yang Sheng interrupted Gu Qing's dream, "I'm going to Chang'an soon." ”
"I'm going to get rich, believe it or not!" Gu Qing said to Yang Sheng: "Otherwise, if you become my little brother right now, I can consider letting you be my nurse." ”
"Huh!" Yang Sheng snorted coldly, "Let me be a nurse?" Think beautifully! ”
……
A few days later, there was the huge Chang'an City in front of him, Gu Qing looked at this huge city and became more and more excited, and the flags on the huge city wall were unfurled. This is the Zhongxing of Datang, the place with the highest GDP, and every inch of land is expensive.
The return of King Wei didn't seem to have much of a sensation, but it was much more low-key, and there were still some Fanbang people doing business and speaking Guanzhong dialect that was not fluent.
Sun Simiao followed Li Tai into the palace, leaving Yang Sheng and Gu Qing on the lively streets of Chang'an, at a loss.
After standing for more than half an hour, Yang Sheng also left and didn't say what to do.
Gu Qing pulled the donkey cart and asked an old man, "Uncle, where is this Chang'an more lively." ”
"Further on, there is the East Market, where there are more people." The old man said.
Gu Qing, who was only eleven years old, dragged the donkey cart all the way, and was very fortunate to come to the corner of the East Market, put down the donkey cart and took out the tea leaves, and looked at the people doing business around, as if there was not much Taoism except shouting.
Don't worry, don't worry, Gu Qing is calculating in his heart to do business! There must also be cultural drops, poetry was not prevalent in the Tang Dynasty, and sometimes gimmicks are very important.
The stall making noodles on the side in front of him was about to be closed, Gu Qing stepped forward and said, "Big brother, can you lend me the stove." ”
"Little doll, you're also here to do business?" The other party glanced at Gu Qing's tattered clothes, "At a young age, it's not easy, the stove is built on the ground and can't run, remember to clean up when it's used up, I'll open it early tomorrow." ”
Now that it was almost time for people to have lunch, Gu Qing rubbed his hands excitedly, "Thank you, uncle!" ”
Humming a small tune to make a fire, and then carrying a bucket to fetch water from a well not far away, cleaning up the tea stall and opening it, thinking that there was something missing, Gu Qing found another broken wooden board that no one used, and wrote a poem according to his memory.
"Old and young masters, don't miss it when you pass by!" Gu Qing shook the folding fan and shouted: "Sell tea, buy tea." ”
"Sell tea!" Gu Qing's mouth was dry for most of the day, and he didn't see anyone patronizing.
An aunt glanced at the tea leaves and quickly walked away.
“……”
Shaking the fan vigorously, why is it so hot this day, thinking that if it is not sold, Gu Qing sat by the stove and his forehead was full of sweat, and he didn't want to shout anymore, the people of Chang'an were too eyeless.
A person dressed as a scholar passed by, and he didn't look at Gu Qing's tea, but stared at the poems on the side, nodding while reading, "The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night, and it blows down even more, and the stars are like rain." BMW carved cars are full of fragrance. The sound of the phoenix flute moves, the light of the jade pot turns, and the fish and dragon dance all night. ”
"Big brother buy some tea?" Gu Qing asked.
The man didn't pay attention to Gu Qing at all, and continued to read the last verse on the wooden board, "The moth snow willow is golden, and the laughter is full of dark fragrance." The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but the man was there, and the lights were dim. ”
"Do you even want to buy tea?" Gu Qing asked again.
"The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but the man was there, and the lights were dim." After reading this, he hurried away.
"Sick!" Gu Qing poured himself a sip of tea.
"What about the little guy selling?" An aunt came over with a smile, "You came out to do business at a young age?" ”
"Hey." Gu Qing smiled and nodded.
"My aunt is a bread seller." She took out a cake and said, "Look little one, you haven't seen you eat for most of the day, this cake is for you to eat." ”
"No...... No! Gu Qing waved his hand again and again.
"Eat." The aunt put the cake on the edge of Gu Qing's stove, "My son is as old as you, so it's just that when he's tall, it's okay not to eat." ”
"Thank you......"
Before she could say thank you, the aunt had already gone back to her own stall.
Nibbling on the next bite of the cake, Gu Qing's heart was sour, "I'm easy, I'm easy!" ”
The sound of discussion came not far away, and when he looked up, he saw that he was the guy who only read poetry and didn't buy tea, and there were many people behind him, all dressed as scholars.
The man came to Gu Qing's stall and pointed to the poem and said: "Everyone, it is this poem that the crowd has been looking for him thousands of times, and suddenly I looked back, but the person was there, and the lights were dim. ”
A few scholars were amazed when they looked at this poem.
Someone said: "The words and phrases of this poem are particularly expressive, the east wind blooms thousands of trees at night, and blows down, and the stars are like rain." BMW carved cars are full of fragrance. The sound of the phoenix flute moves, the light of the jade pot turns, and the fish and dragon dance all night, this first half of the Que will write the prosperity of Chang'an vividly and exquisitely. ”
Someone else said: "The words are used just right, even if you add a word or change a word, it will make it lose its aura." ”
"Do you buy tea?" Gu Qing said with a smile.
"Left straight in the lower room!" The man bowed down and said, "Dare to ask this little brother who wrote this poem." ”
"Buy tea?" Gu Qing continued: "As long as you buy tea, I will tell you who made it." ”
"Tea? Isn't it just the leaves used to cook tea? Fang Yi said directly, looking uninterested.
The street was very lively, and there was not much business on the street in the afternoon, but Gu Qing's stall was surrounded by a group of people, and I saw a few scholars with foaming stars on their mouths, "Again, how many of you just finished eating?" ”
Several people were speechless in the face of Gu Qing, who was a philistine.
After brewing a few bowls of tea, Gu Qing said, "Try it, it's free to taste on the first day of opening today." ”
"That's not how tea is cooked!" Fang Yi said directly: "I'm afraid this little brother doesn't know the tea ceremony." ”
"Do you like to drink or not?" Gu Qing sniffed, how could this person be crepe, Fang Yi was so familiar with his name.
A few scholars took a sip from the bowl, tasting the taste of tea that was a little bitter in the mouth, but there was still some elegant tea fragrance in the aftertaste.
"How's that!" Gu Qing said, "Is your mouth greasy gone?" Do you feel that the sleepiness of the afternoon is gone? ”
