Chapter 790: Chang'an
Guanzhong, Chang'an.
An inconspicuous carriage drove into Xijing City.
The horseman is a bald monk, who is extraordinarily dark, and looks like a Kunlun slave at first glance. However, this Kunlun slave has a ring scar on his head and is wearing a monk's robe, but he is carrying a simple knife.
This simple knife is not the kind of simple simple knife, at a glance you can know that it is made by a high-grade steel master, and it can be called a small Mo knife.
Such a coachman always makes people feel weird.
Although his carriage is ordinary, the horse is extremely handsome, and it is still two horse-drawn carriages, which look like war horses.
The defenders of the city gate took one look at it, but they paid no attention to it, and no one went up to stop them.
In troubled times, no matter how strange they were, they have seen it, and who doesn't know that the Tang Dynasty now respects the Buddha and worships the Tao, and there are many Buddhist monks in this Chang'an City.
It is said that the family has no quarrel with the world, but these gatekeepers do not believe it, these bald heads are the most ferocious, all of them have hands and eyes, they have both money and friends.
A few days ago, there were two brothers who didn't understand very well, and as a result, because they stopped two monks, they were beaten by the monks and vomited blood, and in the end, they had to kowtow to the monks and beg for mercy.
Therefore, in this world, more things are better than less things.
"Chang'an has arrived." Kunlun Nu Coachman said.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a young monk in the carriage was looking at Chang'an City. He was very young, even a little handsome, but he looked like he was in a monk's robe, but he had a long two-handed sword beside him.
On the opposite side of the young handsome monk, there was a middle-aged Taoist priest wearing a simple Taoist robe, with a thin face, a gray goatee, and a four-edged gold wedge in his hand.
After the strange three people passed, the soldiers guarding the door whispered, "This world is really getting more and more evil, what are the ways of these people?" ”
"Don't be nosy, let's still look forward to this month's money and food, or we won't have food and clothing."
"Zhao Guogong led his troops to fight Xue Rengao, and I don't know what to do, I shouldn't be defeated again this time."
"How could Zhao Guogong be defeated, he was only unable to command due to illness before, but Liu Changshi and Chai Sima commanded privately, and they suffered a big defeat."
Another person said, "I heard that Luo Shuai has already been proclaimed emperor in Fanyang." ”
"When do you think he's going to call?"
"It's hard to say."
"It is said that Luo Cheng is invincible in the world, and the god of war descends to earth, you said that if he leads a large army to fight, can we be the enemy?"
Hearing this, the fire chief glared at him, "You don't care what those do, whoever wins you can vote for whomever you want, anyway, we're just a few small soldiers." ”
Kunlun Nu drove the carriage into Chang'an City and went straight to Dongshi.
Entering the East Market, the Taoist shook his head.
"It used to be extremely prosperous, with two hundred and seventy lines and thousands of vendors. Now, it's so depressed. ”
"Don't be wordy, don't you always say that you are familiar with Chang'an, then hurry up and find a good restaurant, let's have a full meal first, grandpa and I are hungry."
Lao Dao frowned, "I said Monk Xu, you are also a monk, can you look like a monk?" ”
"What's wrong with the monks, the monks can't talk freely, is it possible that the monks have to hold a fart between them?"
Lao Dao shook his head helplessly.
After getting out of the carriage, he walked straight through the streets and alleys of the East Market, turning around three times and turning around, and soon came to a small street and alley.
"I said the old way, you won't get lost, how can you bring me to this kind of alley, there can be a good restaurant here, there is good wine and good food? I can tell you, although I am a monk, I am not happy if I have no wine or meat. ”
"It's not good to eat, I'm not in the mood to do anything with you."
Wei Laodao stood in front of a small courtyard and looked up a few times.
"Well, yes, it's here, it's still like that, I'll tell you, don't look at this place is very inconspicuous, but ordinary people may not be able to know this good place, the wine and food here are a must, you will know if you taste it, let's go."
Pushed the door into the hospital, went straight to the backyard, and stepped on the stairs to the third floor.
There is a good position by the window with a good view.
Upstairs was quiet and not a single guest was there.
Lao Dao pulled the young monk to sit down.
"I'll cut two catties of cold beef for Lao Dao, and then a pot of Longcheng Feijiang, and ten flax pancakes."
The monk rolled his eyes, "Dare to shout and eat beef in Chang'an City, do you still think it's outside the plug?" It's illegal to eat beef in the Central Plains! ”
As a result, a half-dead voice sounded downstairs at this time, "Two catties of cold beef, a pot of Longcheng Feijiang, and ten more flax pancakes, good class, wait a minute." ”
"Is there really beef?" Monk Jun was surprised, "It can't be a human flesh, right?" ”
Monk Jun remembered that he was in Luoyang City before, and he almost ate a meal of steamed cakes with human flesh, and he couldn't help but feel nauseous.
"Don't worry."
Soon, beef, wine, and bread all came up.
"Two guest officers, please pay for the meal first, it's not easy to do a small business, especially now." A middle-aged shopkeeper said with a smile.
Lao Dao took out the money bag from his arms.
I found a golden dragon, two silver tigers, and thirteen copper Kaiyuan, "Is it enough?" ”
"It's not enough, we have to add two more Silver Tigers." The shopkeeper smiled.
Monk Jun couldn't help but slapped the table, "I said shopkeeper, don't be too greedy, you know that this gold and two silver are worth twenty yuan, even if the price of grain in Chang'an is high, it is enough to buy a hundred stone of rice." ”
Lao Dao ignored the monk, and really took out two silver tigers.
The shopkeeper took it and looked at the silver coins carefully.
"What year did you mint this coin?"
"Three years after the emperor's reign."
"What month?"
"June."
The monk was confused when he heard this, but at this time he also heard something, so he ignored them, picked up the wine jug and poured himself a glass first, took a sip, and called the good wine.
I picked up the chopsticks again and sandwiched a chopstick of beef.
Put it in front of me and smell it carefully, "It's indeed beef." ”
Only then did he eat it with confidence, "It's delicious, it's delicious." ”
Over there, the old man and the shopkeeper were already smiling and nodding.
"This is for the guest officer." The shopkeeper took out a few copper coins and handed them to Lao Dao, then turned around and left.
While eating beef and drinking wine, the monk squinted at the copper coins and found that these copper coins seemed to be a little different.
Lao Dao took it in his hand and looked at it carefully for a long time, and then put it in his money bag.
"Old Dao, the gods are mysterious, this is the end?"
But the old man said, "It's still the same taste, this beef is marinated very well, it is boiled and marinated with thirteen seasoning spices, and it is an old marinade, and this knife skill, you see, it is cut very thin and even." Add some minced garlic, chopped green onions, houttuynia cordata, and coriander, well, it's really delicious. ”
"It didn't come in vain."
The monk held a wine glass in his hand, and kept stuffing beef into his mouth with one hand, and he didn't have time to reply to the old words.
"Little Er, prepare ten flax pancakes for me, pack them and take them away."
"I'm old-fashioned, have you eaten so much?"
"You'll find out in a moment." The old way chopsticks don't stop.
After the wine and food were swept away and the ten flax cakes were eaten, Lao Dao patted his stomach and took the monk downstairs.
Downstairs.
The shopkeeper stepped forward with a smile, "The things that the guest officer wants have been prepared, ten flax pancakes." ”
The monk didn't see where the pancakes were, but ten blue-eyed and high-nosed Hu people walked in from outside.
Lao Dao smiled and said, "Follow us." ”
The ten blue-eyed and high-nosed bearded men just nodded and didn't say a word.
