Although the East Market is not as lively as the West Market, it is also brightly lit, even brighter than the West Market, all because the people who support it are all nobles, they need a better experience, and of course, all this is also based on their spending power to enjoy all this.

People came and went, only to see a few old men walking on the street, and there were more than ten guards with knives next to these old men, but this situation is very common in Dongshi.

And these people are the eldest grandson Wuji, Chu Suiliang, Han Yuan, Lai Ji, and Liu Zheng.

The opening of the night market was a very important decision of the imperial court, no less than any reform in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, because it was the first time that the system established during the Zhenguan period was shaken, and it could even be said to challenge the centuries-old tradition.

"Tai Lieutenant, Ling Gongzi's ability to do things is still very good, you see, all this is going on in an orderly manner."

Han Ying said with a smile.

The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head and said, "Han Yi and Liangzi have made a lot of efforts here. Saying that, he sighed and said: "Chong'er is indeed smart, if he is determined to do it, then he will do it well, but unfortunately he is not interested in anything other than reading." ”

There was a slow helplessness in his tone.

But it is precisely because the eldest grandson Chong is too partial to reading that the eldest grandson Yan entered the imperial court early, and the eldest grandson Wuji naturally wants to cultivate a descendant with the talent of the prime minister, so that the honor of the eldest grandson's family can continue.

Chu Suiliang pointed to some restaurants around him and said: "But you see, these officials are intoxicated, if it goes on for a long time, I am worried that this will make my Datang become rotten." ”

Lai Ji seemed to disagree, and said: "Although the words of the right servant are correct, this is just the difference between open and closed. They usually drink and have fun in the mansion. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji nodded and said: "Dengshan, now is not the Zhenguan period, now the world is peaceful and the people are rich, it is time to compose a hymn, if it is still the same as the Zhenguan period." Then how can there be a prosperous situation, we are all inevitable! ”

Chu Suiliang said: "But since the founding of the People's Republic of China, I have advocated diligence and thrift, this root can not be lost, proper fun is feasible, but it must not be extravagant and wasteful, this is a shameful thing, the imperial court in the opening of the night market, but also to urge officials." It is not possible to put an end to extravagance and waste, and blindly pursue change without taking into account the fundamentals of the foothold. ”

Han Ying nodded and said: "What the right servant said is good, if the official squanders excessively, it will definitely bring financial difficulties, and it is inevitable that he will take advantage of his position to obtain wealth." ”

His voice had just fallen. Suddenly, I heard someone in front of me shouting: "Sesame balls, sesame balls." ”

A few people looked up. I saw a big man pushing a wooden cart, and a little girl on the side was shouting, but on top of the wooden cart was a large object covered with a white cloth, and it was faintly visible that there was heat coming out.

When the eldest grandson Wuji saw it, he thought it was very strange, so he stepped forward and shouted: "Little girl! ”

Because this is the East Market. Although the eldest grandson Wuji was surrounded by bodyguards, the little girl was not used to it, and said, "Grandpa, do you want to buy sesame balls?" ”

Eldest Sun Wuji nodded with a smile and said, "Give one to each of us." ”

"Grandpa, please wait a moment."

The little girl was overjoyed. When I came to the car, I stood on tiptoe and lifted the white cloth, but I saw that under the white cloth was a round wooden box, and there were many gaps and handles on the side, which was very peculiar. The little girl held the handle, lightly carded, and there was a soft sound, it turned out to be a drawer, which was a new invention brought by Han Yi, but now it has been popularized, after all, it is not something difficult to do.

I also saw four or five sesame balls as white as snow and black sesame seeds in the drawer.

The eldest grandson Wuji stood on the side and felt the heat rushing in, and he was even more surprised, even if it was sealed, it was impossible to have such a big heat, and asked, "Why is your sesame ball so hot?" ”

The man with the cart said: "Back to this master, there is a charcoal stove in the middle of this wooden box, which can keep warm well." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji nodded again and again, and said, "This design is really ingenious!" Did you do it? ”

The man nodded and said, "I heard that the imperial court is going to open the night market, so I thought about coming out to do some business, it just so happens that my family has some craftsmanship, but if it is cold today, we don't have a store, if it's cold, it won't taste good, and people won't buy it, so we made this thing out." ”

"I see!" The eldest grandson Wuji nodded thoughtfully, as if he had found something from it, but asked: "No, I heard that before the opening of the night market, the imperial court called on the people to go to the two markets to do business, especially about food, and also rented their shops for rent free, why don't you go?" Or your sesame balls are not delicious. ”

The little girl immediately said, "My mother's sesame dumplings are delicious." ”

"Little Seven." The man stopped the little girl, told her not to talk nonsense, and said to the eldest grandson Wuji: "The court only helps those who have little land, but my family has some land, and we are not qualified to do so." ”

Chu Suiliang asked: "Since your family has land, why do you still come to do business, aren't you tired of pushing the cart and selling it in this winter?" ”

The man said: "This old man doesn't know, my family has some land, starving people can't die, but now the price of rice is cheap, can't change too many things, we still want to buy a few thicker clothes for the child, during the New Year, can eat a meal of meat, and this is much easier than farming, don't feel tired at all." ”

"Grandpa, your sesame balls."

The little girl gave the sesame ball held by the lotus leaf to the eldest grandson Wuji and others with both hands and small hands.

Han Ying asked, "How much does your sesame ball cost?" ”

"Four pennies."

"It's so expensive, a bucket of rice is just that."

The little girl suddenly said in a childish tone: "Grandpa, you can't say that, we still have to burn charcoal, make boxes, and push carts, and it's night again, so the price is not expensive." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was amused by this little girl and laughed, and said: "Yes, yes, yes, you have a point, it's not expensive, it's not expensive." As he spoke, he waved his hand at one of his attendants, who immediately handed over the money.

The little girl took the money. Suddenly smiled, and the color of joy was undoubted.

The father and daughter pushed the cart and continued to sell.

The eldest grandson Wuji sighed: "A good harvest indicates that there is a lot of grain, and a lot of grain will inevitably cause a lot of grain, but the grain will hurt the peasants, but if there is a famine." Not to mention, this is a catastrophe for farmers, and I used to think about this a lot, but now this sesame ball has given me a lot of inspiration, and if you turn rice into this sesame ball, the value is high. ”

Han Ying said thoughtfully: "If the business of the restaurant is good, then it will inevitably increase the consumption of food, so as to do so." Food prices are likely to rise, and they won't rise much, which is not a good thing for farmers. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji snorted, frowned, and said: "There is also the problem that Deng Shan mentioned earlier, everyone was poor before, and everyone was very diligent and thrifty, but they didn't pay attention to it." I think it's frugal. Of course, it is worth advocating, but it is a word of frugality. It is also very harmful to business development, and the rich will only get richer and richer, hoarding more and more goods, and the poor will only get poorer and poorer.

You can see how many people have made a living when this night market opens, not just the new merchants. And the workers, the servants, they all got their livelihood because of this, and most of his money came from the rich, but if everyone was thrifty, then everyone would not go to the restaurant to eat. These people will lose their livelihoods, but if they promote luxury, they will never work. This is the same as the fact that the grain is cheap and hurts the farmers, the harvest indicates the grain is cheap, but the grain is cheap but it will hurt the farmers, and it is difficult to have both. ”

Liu Zheng said suddenly: "I think waste and luxury are two different things, the imperial court should focus on advocating not to waste, but for diligence and thrift, we can relax a little, to be honest, now our ministers with more than three grades live much better than Wei Gong and their time, and we are not as frugal as Wei Gong." ”

Lai Ji said: "In fact, since ancient times, it has been the case, when the national power is strong, the wind of luxury is unavoidable, the princes and nobles are like this, since it cannot be avoided, we should face it correctly, not to avoid it, many people live much more luxurious than us, but they dare not say it like Zi Shao, this is not good, because if you hide the wind of luxury, you will hide the source of luxury." ”

Chu Suiliang said: "But do you want the imperial court to promote extravagance? ”

Lai Ji said: "I have no intention of doing so, I just think that how a person wants to use his wealth, as long as it is within the law, the court should not stop them, if they break the law, then they should also act according to the law, but luxury does not violate the law." ”

"But it's immoral."

Chu Suiliang insisted: "If the imperial court does not stop it, the imperial court will definitely become corrupt, and all dynasties and dynasties have become industrious and thrifty, and we should learn a lesson." ”

Laiji is also on the bar, anyway, it is not the first time, and said: "But the problem is that we can't stop this, and no dynasty can stop it, this is human nature." ”

Chu Suiliang said: "Why can Wei Gong and them be diligent and thrifty, but we can't, you are clearly an excuse." ”

Lai Ji wanted to continue arguing, but the eldest grandson Wuji waved his hand to interrupt their argument, and said with a smile: "This kind of thing can never be solved in one day, this is like water, there is no fertile field without water, but if there is more water and it becomes a flood, it will also wash away the farmland, so everything should have a degree there, how to grasp this degree, is a problem that the imperial court should seriously consider, we will talk about this issue another day, and only visit the night market today." ”

Han Ying shook his head and smiled bitterly: "There is only one more night market, but there are such problems, it seems that my Datang is not perfect." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled: "If it's perfect, then what do you want us ministers to do." Let's go, let's go, go to the front and have a look. ”

A few people walked forward for a while, and suddenly heard bursts of cheers from the front, raised their eyes, and the eldest grandson Wuji smiled: "Today's Wanfu Building seems to be quite lively." ”

Liu Zheng said with a smile: "Didn't Taiwei forget, the good voice of Han Yi's Tang Dynasty also started today." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, yes, I almost forgot." ”

Han Ying said: "Taiwei can think of going over and taking a look." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head with a wry smile and said, "If the old man was twenty or thirty years younger, he would have gone to join in the fun, so now he will be exempted." ”

．

The voice of Datang, who has been planning for many days of love in the city, finally appeared in the evening today, under the expectation of everyone. The locations of each competition area were already occupied by guests in the early afternoon, and it has been waiting until now, and it has finally begun.

Fengfeilou is particularly late, because Fengfeilou is not a restaurant, it is impossible to watch while eating, and it will not start until after dinner. But there is no doubt that Fengfeilou still has the most guests, because this is initiated by Fengfeilou, and everyone knows that Fengfeilou will definitely be held more beautifully.

In addition, the nameless restaurant has launched a dried fruit bag specifically for the voice, what chestnuts, candied fruits, etc., specially set for the voice, Fengfei Lou also provides hot tea, and the service is also very thoughtful. No worse than those restaurants.

Life in the building is boiling, as if the red curtain does not stop, it will not be quiet.

Suddenly, a group of people walked in through the back door, and they were boiling, it was the jury represented by Gu Tingcheng, Meng'er, and Liu E.

Of course, everyone is naturally excited about Gu Tingcheng and Meng'er, and it has nothing to do with Liu E.

"Why don't you see Han Yi!"

One shouted.

These guests are really weird. In the past, Han Yi always appeared, but there were always boos. Nowadays, Han Yi rarely participates, and they miss Han Yi again.

No one paid any attention to him.

After Liu E, Gu Tingcheng, and Meng'er took their seats, the red cloth slowly opened.

The building immediately fell silent.

"Sell steamed buns, sell steamed buns, hot steamed buns, come and see if you don't buy them."

Just listen to the voice. Immediately there was laughter.

But at the same time, I was also very curious, and said that it was a good voice?

I saw Brother Xiong hanging a wooden plate on his body, shaking and shouting, and complained to the audience: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am unlucky this year." No one will believe it when I say it, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, a brain teaser fooled me to the middle of the family, so that now I have fallen into the situation of selling steamed buns, can anyone believe this? ”

"Believe! Ha ha! ”

The guests in the audience couldn't help shouting.

Brother Xiong blinked and said, "Since everyone believes it, let's buy a bun." ”

"Okay!"

At that moment, another person came out on the left.

"It's a big fool!"

Quite a few people immediately shouted.

"Oh, it's bad again, I have to leave quickly, or this bun will have to be fooled."

Brother Xiong's head shrank, and he slipped away when he turned his back, which immediately caused him to burst into laughter.

"Chubby! Chubby! ”

Du Zuhua hurriedly caught up and grabbed Brother Xiong.

Brother Xiong cried and said with a sad face: "I said big fool, why do you always find me to fool, there are so many people in the audience, don't you go to fool, I have been fooled by you to sell steamed buns, you just let me go, I beg you." ”

Du Zuhua said: "I have already changed my ways and returned to the right, and I don't fool people." ”

"Flicker!"

"Really, I have a mission for today."

"And then flicker."

His thick Yangzhou accent made everyone laugh heartily, and it was indescribable.

Waiting until everyone's laughter became smaller, Du Zuhua said: "It's true, I won't tell you, a few **** days ago, I met a master of the law number of women's friends, after he lit it, I was completely epiphany, and decided to convert to the door of women, no, in order to test me, the women's friend arranged a task for me, let me go to find the most beautiful voice in the world, I have already found this person, but I can't hear what is the most beautiful voice alone, thinking about finding you together, and the two of them have a discussion." ”

"No, no."

Brother Xiong shook his head and said, "I want to sell steamed buns, what a good voice, I'm not interested at all." ”

Du Zuhua said: "The people I'm looking for are all beautiful women." ”

"Then I'll go."

Brother Xiong immediately nodded his fat head.

The audience heard another burst of crazy laughter.

Even Ono in the background couldn't stop laughing.

This kind of slightly meaty joke is also the first time it has appeared.

While the two were talking, they came to the middle of the stage again.

Brother Xiong looked left and right, and said dissatisfiedly: "What about the beautiful women who said they were good?" ”

Du Zuhua said: "Don't patronize beautiful women, I have to test you." ”

"What's the test?"

"What do you think is the most beautiful sound?"

Brother Xiong thought for a while, and suddenly took out a bun and ate it in a big gulp, and made a horn sound.

Du Zuhua said: "I'm testing you, why are you eating." ”

Brother Xiong honked twice, and said cutely: "This is the most beautiful sound!" ”

Du Zuhua was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "What you are talking about is the sound that came from this while eating." ”

Brother Xiong nodded.

Du Zuhua said: "Haven't you heard of food and speech, your voice will feel disgusting when others listen to it." ”

"Whew!"

Brother Xiong suddenly snored.

Du Zuhua heaved: "How can this little fat man say that he will sleep - little fat, little fat, wake up." ”

"I didn't sleep." Brother Xiong tilted his head and said, "This is the most beautiful sound!" ”

Du Zuhua said: "You are snoring, you will disturb other people's sleep." ”

Brother Xiong wriggled his ass again, and his mouth made a booing sound.

Du Zuhua said: "You won't say that this peeing sound is the most beautiful sound, right?" ”

Brother Xiong nodded.

Du Zuhua said: "If you dare to love, you will only be left to eat, drink, and sleep in your life!" ”

Brother Xiong said weakly: "Aren't you? ”

As soon as the two of them asked and answered, everyone was already about to go crazy with laughter.

The opening remarks of this sketch and cross talk are of course designed by Han Yi, which is the cultural heritage of Fengfeilou, which is not available in other competition areas, and as a businessman, you can't give up your advantages.

This also brought great enjoyment to the audience, and I was glad that I was trying my best to pursue the tickets of Fengfeilou, of course, they were also loyal fans of Fengfeilou.

"Alright, alright, I kind of get it."

Du Zuhua waved his hand and said, "Now I'll let you listen to this most beautiful sound." As he spoke, he said to the audience: "Next, please invite the first contestant, Miss Mingyue." ”

Brother Xiong blinked and said, "Beauty! ”

This cute color made everyone laugh again.

But then the audience immediately burst into applause, it turned out that this Mingyue girl was a well-known courtesan in Jia Simu's compound, and many people knew her.

I saw a beautiful woman in a white dress walking up to the stage.

The applause was even greater.

"Hello officials, the little girl's name is Mingyue."

Mingyue first gave a gift.

The beasts roared in unison.

Liu E in the audience said: "You can start." ”

Mingyue cleared her throat slightly, and then began to sing.

In ancient times, there was no microphone, and they all relied on their own voices, but because there was none, everyone didn't think there was something wrong, they all listened to it like this, and the number of people was not very large, but these guests were very conscious and immediately quieted down.

This Mingyue has a good voice, a loud voice, and her singing skills are also very good, and most importantly, this is a brand new song.

Jia Simu is also very famous in Pingkangli, and it is impossible to let her courtesans go up and sing casually, that is a lot of effort, this is a good voice, but everyone knows that this is also a battle for an oiran, who can win, it must be the first oiran worthy of the name. The lyrics and songs were all tailor-made for Mingyue, and they were rehearsed many times.

Liu E arranged for Mingyue to be the first to go up, just to fire the first shot, don't be the first to come up, just go out of tune, then she will feel very embarrassed.

But if it's Han Yi, it won't be like this, because he hopes to encounter this situation of being out of tune, so that it will be distinctive, and if it is all sung seriously, it will be too boring.

Everyone shook their heads and shook their heads when they heard it, and they were fascinated.

PS: I haven't worked hard to update these days, and I'm very ashamed in my heart, so I coded nearly 6,000 words this afternoon to make up for everyone, and I hope you will continue to support Xiaoxi and Xiaoidler...... (To be continued.) )
