In the next few days, Han Yi spent all his time busy, every day from early morning to midnight, especially to help those merchants who had just moved into the West Market, what pricing, table and chair placement, for this reason, he also held a special meeting to tell them some business skills, in addition, Changsun Chong and Cheng Chuliang are also making final efforts for the upcoming night market.

The chores are complicated, but everything is carried out in an orderly manner.

In the blink of an eye, the arrival of the night market has entered the final countdown.

In the past, people were looking forward to the dawn, but today the people of Chang'an City are looking forward to the dark, both those who support the relaxation of the curfew and those who disapprove of it.

But because of this, the day seems to be very calm today, and everyone seems to be recuperating, as if it was the eve of a big war.

God didn't help him today, the sky was a little gloomy, but it didn't add to the chaos, at least it didn't rain, Han Yi was very satisfied.

The light faded away.

On the main road of Xicheng, a father and son walked forward quickly, and suddenly saw a few acquaintances walking slowly in front, so they chased after the general and said, "Why are you still so slow, there will be a curfew soon." ”

"Old Wu, what are you anxious about, isn't the curfew postponed to the third watch today?"

"Yes, look at me, I still think about it all day during the day, and when I get to this time, I forget it."

．

Everything is so unaccustomed, everything is so unnatural.

At this time, the people in Chang'an City were very conscious of going to their homes, but halfway through, they suddenly remembered that there was no curfew today, and they couldn't help but smile bitterly.

And there are many people gathered around the drum towers of the two cities, most of these people are young people. They looked at the drum with anticipation, a gaze that longed for freedom.

Night came to the sky over Chang'an as promised.

"No ring! No rings! ”

The crowd gathered was completely boiling, and the drums that must be sounded every day at this time were finally not sounded today.

This is the joy of freedom.

Of course, at the same time, there are many people who feel very uncomfortable, as if they have lost their purpose in life.

But anyway. This is definitely a historic moment.

Whew!

One by one, the patrolmen came to the main road, and at the last moment of nightfall, they lit the torches that had been set up on the side of the road, and the flames soared to the sky, and the entire Chang'an City was illuminated for a while.

Just to save money in this area, only the main roads are equipped with torches, and there are also some major thoroughfares with torches, but not as dense as the main roads.

Blazing flames. The open door, everything is so unreal, when this moment comes, the people of Chang'an know that they are not ready, and they are all at a loss.

Of course, there were also a lot of people, who came to the streets in droves, not for the demonstration. Rather, I was very curious about all this, after all, walking on the street at this moment. It's so strange.

However, there is nothing more lively than the two cities of Pingkangli.

Especially the West Market, at the beginning of nightfall, has become the most lively place in Chang'an, because many people know that the West Market must be full today. If you hadn't come earlier, there would have been no seats, and a lot of people hadn't tried to eat out for dinner, which was a real surprise.

Crowds of people wander the streets, far more than during the day. Originally, they just came to see it, but after this visit, their hands itched again, and before they knew it, they had already carried a lot of goods on their hands.

What is different from usual is that a lot of wine shops, tea shops, restaurants, restaurants suddenly appeared in the West Market, and many unknown snacks have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, quietly popping up, which is definitely a big surprise in the night market, so that the people of Chang'an are enjoying the mouth, because it has always been a closed management, resulting in a lot of good things, are closed in the family, and now this relaxation, these beautiful things immediately came out.

Almost every wine shop, tea shop, and restaurant is overcrowded.

There is no doubt that these businessmen who have just come are happy, because everything is difficult at the beginning, but as soon as they open the door, they are overcrowded, and there is not even a process of adaptation, although Han Yi has told them, but they are still busy, and the whole person is in ignorance, seeing the strings of copper coins falling into their pockets, they feel as if they are in a dream, all this seems too unreal.

At the same time, there is also a group of people who are silently dedicating, that is, the officials of the fire prevention department, who are always paying attention to the situation of each store, but if they find the slightest mistake, they will immediately come forward to correct it. The soldiers on the lookout stand stood in the cold wind, making regional observations

．

．

"I really didn't expect it to be so lively."

The eldest grandson Chong walked on the street, looking at the dense figures, only to feel a little incredible.

Because the habit of working at sunrise and resting at sunset was so ingrained that he expected the night market to be lively, but he thought that it was the world of young people, but when he saw that there were men, women and children on the street, he couldn't help but feel very surprised.

Han Yi said with a smile: "People's lives are so short, they should have fun in time, if the lower officials are not wrong, the master of the horse must often read until midnight, because the master of the horse feels that reading is a kind of happiness, so he cherishes the time of reading very much, but not everyone thinks that reading is a kind of happiness." ”

The eldest grandson nodded and said: "Just like your poem, life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon." ”

While the two were talking, they suddenly saw Cheng Chuliang, who had always talked a lot, suddenly became silent, and at the same time turned his head to look at Cheng Chuliang, only to see Cheng Chuliang looking at the wine shop and restaurant on the side of the street and swallowing his saliva there.

The two looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh secretly.

The eldest grandson said abruptly: "Cheng Er, why don't we go in and have two drinks." ”

"Good! All right! ”

Cheng Chuliang nodded subconsciously, and suddenly reacted again, looked at Changsun Chong and Han Yi embarrassedly, knowing that he had been tricked, he pulled his head and said, "It's better to be exempted, we still have a task today." ”

Han Yi smiled: "If the general wants to drink." When the night market is over, let's have a drink together. ”

Cheng Chuliang was slightly dissatisfied and said: "I don't have alcohol at home, I don't really want to drink, it's just that drinking is like gambling money, and more people are interesting." As he spoke, he glanced at the guests who were drinking and chatting happily, and he was the one who liked to be boisterous the most. I can't say enough envy in my heart.

As soon as the words fell, I suddenly heard someone shouting: "General, general." ”

Cheng Chuliang looked up and saw a few people on the second floor of a restaurant standing on the balcony waving to him.

Cheng Chuliang sighed and said, "Why are you here?" ”

One of them said, "Haha, we happened to be off these two days. ”

Cheng Chuliang suddenly realized: "No wonder you bastards refused to take a vacation a few days ago, Lao Tzu also thought that you had changed your mind, it turned out that you were all drinking here today!" ”

"General, come up and have a drink. The upstairs is full of our sixteen guards, but it's lively. ”

When Cheng Chuliang heard this, he was excited, and was about to agree, when he suddenly looked at Changsun Chong and Han Yi.

Eldest Sun Chong and Han Yi thought to themselves, this matter of public security is your duty, but we are accompanying you on patrol. You still want to drink, how can it be so good. They all tilted their heads to one side.

Cheng Chuliang scratched the back of his hand, and a pair of bull's eyes turned sharply.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a tiger roar, "You rabbit cubs, didn't you see that Liangzi was doing official business, and you actually asked him to come up and drink." Believe it or not, the old man will deal with you all by military law. ”

I saw a burly figure appear in front of the building, not who Cheng Yanjin was. And immediately the men scattered as birds and beasts.

Cheng Chuliang was surprised: "Daddy, are you here too?" ”

Cheng Yanjin laughed and said: "You juniors, go and do things, do a good job, don't stand here and smell the wine." ”

I heard someone upstairs shouting, "Lao Cheng." Stand there and do what, come quickly and drink, and wait for you. ”

"It's coming, it's coming."

Cheng Yanjin immediately disappeared in front of the guardrail upstairs.

Cheng Chuliang suddenly clenched his fists and roared on his back, frightening the people around him to dodge, and then strode away.

It was his favorite atmosphere, but he could only stand downstairs and smell the wine, which was really infuriating.

Han Yi and Changsun Chong were stunned for a while, then laughed and followed quickly.

It turned out that Li Zhi in order to help the night market, the day before yesterday had already announced that most of the officials would have a day off tomorrow, because this official usually went to the street less, had to work during the day, and could not go out at night, although there were many holidays in the Tang Dynasty, but during the holiday, either you have to accompany your relatives, or your friends can't get together to go, this night market is good, everyone is free, and don't go to work tomorrow, hurry up and invite each other, come to the West Market to drink and talk.

In fact, Cheng Biting Jin was lucky, many officials misjudged the form, and as a result, they were late, they were all full, and they could only drink in the makeshift shed, saying that it was prepared temporarily, but in fact, it was also planned by Han Yi a long time ago, and a row of night food stalls was set up in an open space in the south of Xishi, and it was already full at this time.

Everyone gathered together, chatted about the world, drank and talked happily, so unhappy

．

．

While everyone is enjoying the unique happiness brought by the night, there are also people thinking about the benefits generated in the night market.

As the No. 1 business family in Datang, the Yuan family will naturally not let go of this opportunity.

Yuan Peony stood in the attic of the lady who was being renovated, staring at the brilliant lights in front of him, with a thoughtful expression.

Dora beside her suddenly said: "Sister Peony, the emergence of the night market, these shops are very eager for candles, I think our candles are still sold too cheaply, as far as I know, at that time, many merchants were preparing to use candles to make a fortune, but our candles were so messed up, they could only sell them at the same price as us." ”

Yuan Peony said: "We are different from them, they are just specializing in candle trading, and candles are just one of the insignificant transactions for our Yuan family, whether there is or not, it doesn't matter at all, and restaurants and wine shops are our most important transactions, and candles are just for my Yuan family, just to illuminate rice, vegetables, fruits, cane sugar and other transactions." ”

At this point, she paused and said, "But I'm very interested in candle trading now. ”

Dora glanced at Yuan Peony suspiciously.

Yuan Peony smiled: "There will be a night every day, candles are the rice in the night, all the time is needed, but it is decreasing all the time, this is the most favorite business of merchants, from the actions of the imperial court, this night market will most likely continue for a long time, I expect that the night market will appear more frequent in the future, then the candle will be consumed faster, but the demand is greater, if this transaction can be done well, we will harvest more wealth." ”

Dora smiled: "Sister Peony, you can see far, now that we have obtained the secret recipe for new candles from Han Yi, we will definitely become the biggest candle merchant in the future." ”

Yuan Peony shook his head and said: "This is not enough, the consumption of candles will far exceed our expectations, we must try our best to use all means to obtain candles." Dora, tomorrow you're going to gather some people who know a lot about candles and look for materials that can make candles. ”
