Ma Rulan and his entourage pretended to admire it, and took a few bamboo pieces from the little monk, and several addresses engraved on them were made into charcoal stoves, and left. The shopkeeper from Jiangnan stuffed Ma Rulan with the "business card" he made urgently, and sent the lady of the middle-aged family, who bought seven umbrellas, out of the house, at least he thought so of Ma Rulan.

As soon as Ma Rulan walked away in the flow of people, the chubby shopkeeper asked the guy to take care of the guests visiting the house, and pulled the monk to the bamboo forest behind, so angry that his beard curled, "Your Daxiangguo Temple is not authentic, what rent is halved, and as a result, there are your charcoal stoves in the house." Well, now that most of the guests are circling around your stove, who can remember......"

In the building of the trading conference, hundreds of houses are equipped with charcoal stoves, and the charcoal stoves are of course provided by the few workshops in Mingyuezhuang and Bianjing that have begun to produce. Yuanguang followed Li Xiang's advice, secretly made enough noise, distributed invitations, and halved the rent.

Daxiangguo Temple wants to spread the true and false news of the grand restructuring of the surname together, and the connections of the abbot of Yuanguang also play a great role.

Curious about the shops behind the Great Xiangguo Temple, especially the shops from other places, many of them were merchants who could not get invitations when the Wan surname event was prosperous, and they were finally "tempted", so the first day of the Wan surname event was very lively.

For Daxiangguo Temple, although the rent is halved, the charcoal stove does not need to be provided by itself, and the consumption of firewood and charcoal is reduced by nearly half, so it is not too much to lose in this item.

The charcoal stove is a little troublesome if it is not operated properly, and of course it must be handed over to the monks of Daxiangguo Temple. The citizens of Bianjing were amazed to see that there were monks serving a kind of stove in each room, and they were surprised by the warmth of the room, so of course they wanted to find out.

At this time, the witty monk who takes care of the charcoal stove will enthusiastically explain the advantages of the charcoal stove, and from time to time add charcoal, adjust the sealing of the door, take out the charcoal slag, and cooperate with the use of kettles and iron pots, so as to impress the people. Now that it's just started, some stores can't stand it.

The monks who were selected to be the "commentators" were more clever, or thick-skinned. Next to the bamboo forest, opposite the chubby shop, the white and kind monk called a Buddha, "Amitabha, the donor's words are serious." The charcoal stove is not good to serve, hurting oneself and others, the temple is worried about the safety of the people and your honor, and specially sends a small monk to take care of one or two. ”

Besides, the donor did not suffer, and the longer the people stayed in the store, the deeper their impression of the store became. The female benefactor just now was impressed by Your Excellency's enthusiasm, and didn't she also seriously accept Your Wooden Plaque? Attachment is the phase, mutual benefit, good. ”

"The temple also compiled the shops that became famous in one fell swoop at the grand event of the surname in the past and handed them over to the donors. The bamboo and wood plaque of the basic situation of the carving shop is also provided by the temple, why is the donor not satisfied? ”

The shopkeeper in Wuxi, who had not been in Bianjing for a long time, was angry, pointing at the stinky and shameless monk, and couldn't say a word. Daxiangguo Temple provides a charcoal stove to make the house warmer, but for fear of danger, it is wrong to send someone to take care of it? The people are curious about the charcoal stove and ask one or two, is it wrong?

What's more, Daxiangguo Temple also took the initiative to sort out some successful cases that were not classified and learned experience from "newcomers" like themselves. The room was not only warm, but also served non-stop hot tea. Moreover, the fact that the people stayed in the house longer was also conducive to fame......

Under the words of the chubby Wuxi shopkeeper, a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred, wouldn't it be better to take care of the charcoal stove by yourself? Provide hot tea by yourself, and chat more with the merchants and people in Bianjing, especially those who do small business, what a good opportunity!

After listening to the shopkeeper's proposal, the monk admired the wisdom of this Shi host, and said that he could not make the decision, and it was up to the master of the prison to decide. After another awkward conversation about the incense time, when the monk returned to the house, the water was already boiling, he quickly replaced the iron pot with cold water, and then went out with the kettle.

Ma Rulan and Liu Susu and their entourage are worthy of being mostly women, and they spent enough time in the house of the Li family's incense shop to make three incense sticks before going out with the store's "business card".

Little Jiang Lan was eager to jump out of the threshold, but was picked up by Ma Rulan. The monk I had seen before ran away with a kettle, and if Jiang Lan jumped out, the two collided......

Jiang Zhi nodded the little girl's head in disgust, until little Jiang Lan lowered her head and admitted her mistake, and then pulled her on. The group was curious as to why the monk had gone, so they went all the way and found that many people were queuing.

Continuing to walk forward, Ma Rulan saw that the young monk who had been frightened by Xiao Jiang Lan just now was pouring boiling water into a large wooden barrel, and then turned to leave, and sang a promise to them.

The people lined up, of course, to drink hot tea from the small bamboo cups they got when they entered the door. In the area where the grand gathering of the surnames is located, there are several large tables around every fifty meters, and there are several monks in it to bring tea for the people.

The large wooden barrel on the table was tightly wrapped in two layers of quilt, and the lid on top had to be rotated a few times before it could be opened, and of course it was also covered by a quilt. There is a water outlet under the wooden barrel, and it is convenient to have hot tea flowing out with just one twist of the handle.

Of course, boiling water is boiled in charcoal stoves in the surrounding houses, and kettles and iron pots are constantly boiling hot water, which is also a kind of display. In this grand event of the winter solstice, the entrance and exit are separated, the entrance is on the south side, and the exit is on the east and west sides. Therefore, the people can only enjoy all the way, eat snacks, occasionally drink hot tea, and then go home.

Ma Rulan and his entourage continued to move forward, and saw hundreds of inkstones, and they didn't know why they were so expensive.

Liu Susu exhaled lightly in fright, Jiang Zhi, who had always been cold, was a little girl in her early tens after all, and her heart twitched a little. Xiao Jiang Lan crossed her fingers and compared, and found that the copper money she earned was not enough to buy a broken stone, so she was a little depressed and didn't eat the snacks.

To the west of the inner city are several pharmacies that have been passed down for hundreds of years, and their big houses are guarded by well-dressed hands, because there are thousands of ginseng in the area.

After an apprentice surnamed Zhu introduced the miraculous effects of this century-old ginseng there, he began to talk about how his master was a compassionate and clever doctor.

With a boo, the citizens of Bianjing scattered, but Jiang Zhi clearly heard that the old mountain ginseng was bought at a high price from the Jurchens, and his eyes were cold again.

The merchants of India and the Crescent Moon World crossed the ocean and took great risks to come to the Great Zhou, so they naturally had to seize every opportunity to let more rich and noble people of the Celestial Empire know their good things, so as not to be too ruthlessly suppressed by the wealthy businessmen in Bianjing.

There are immoral music chairs, eye-sized emeralds, extravagant carpets, and delicate glazed ware, which are eye-opening for some Bianjing citizens. The townspeople who had participated in many grand gatherings of the surname despised the dirt buns that were thrown into the Western Regions by the disgraceful people, and then boasted that they had seen more luxurious ones, and then another person interrupted him and continued to brag......

Wealth is not exposed, are these Yi people not afraid of their crimes? They are really not afraid, and they don't know when it started, anyway, the parents and officials in many places in Da Zhou now especially value the big baotou merchants in the crescent world. It has become the norm for several big cities in the south of the Yangtze River to reprimand and extort merchants from the Great Zhou Dynasty, but to support the merchants of the Crescent Moon World.

The righteous gentlemen are naturally reasonable, maybe they think that the people of the crescent moon world are trustworthy and courteous, but the merchants of the Great Zhou only know utilitarianism? There have been tens of thousands of immigrants from the crescent world in Quanzhou Port, and they have hugged each other, and even a few blue-eyed magistrates. The Pu family is even more famous, and its fleet travels to the Red Sea and Quanzhou Port, making huge profits every year, and even has children who serve as commanders of the Xiang Army.

A blue-eyed bearded man magically released a Persian cat, and the surrounding noblewomen rushed up, almost fighting for this cute pet. may be an illusion, but Ma Rulan always felt that the bearded man was eyeing Jiang Zhi and Jiang Lan. She plans to go back and remind Li Xiang and ask him to send someone to take care of Pu Jing'an, she has already trained the second batch of good players for Mingyuezhuang, which should be enough.

The Great Xiangguo Temple can borrow all kinds of rare animals from the Royal Garden, plus the merchants of the South Seas, the Western Regions and the Crescent Moon World, and the rare and exotic beasts brought by crossing the ocean are really eye-opening. The strange beast exhibition of the grand event is quite popular with the citizens of Bianjing, especially children.

The exhibition has undergone a major restructuring, and all kinds of rare animals are placed in dozens of interconnected tents, and the people who watch can only enter and exit one end, and there are monks on both sides to maintain order.

Jiang Lan saw a strange white and black horse, and wanted to go up and touch it to see if it was dyed; Seeing the "yellow fierce dog" firmly chained to the ground stake, Xiao Jiang Lan had some sympathy, Ma Rulan explained to her, and she knew that it should be called a lion; Seeing the beautiful big bird that would open the screen, Liu Susu patted her little brain melon and told her that it was called a peacock; He also saw a long-nosed fat donkey, which was taller than a horse, and the elephant keeper who worked in the royal family's Yujin Garden told Little Jiang Lan in a laugh that the giant beast was called an elephant.

The equivalent of the Royal Zoo is the Royal Zoo, where the tributes from various countries and the purchase of rare and exotic animals by the royal family are all over the place, and many animal trainers have been passed down from generation to generation, and there are even special veterinarians. There is an elephant breeding center in Yingtianfu, that is, Shangqiu, as Li Xiang said, and the elephants of Yujinyuan have to go there regularly every year, and there will be elephant performances for a fee.

In addition to the Qinglou, the officials and scholars in Bianjing liked to take their friends to Yujin Garden, which was occasionally open to small people.

Li Xiang's improved plan for the organization of the event attaches great importance to mobility, with the aim of allowing the citizens of Bianjing to walk forward all the time and go out from another place, so that they can withstand several times the flow of people without chaos.

Master Yuanguang was even more powerful, and deliberately put the tent where the exotic animals were placed at the exit, so that the people and the gentry could leave happily, so that the reputation of the grand event of the surname was naturally very good. Li Xiang is completely convinced, this is a genius!

Little Jiang Lan left the tent area and walked back to the exit step by step, many children have a virtue. The grand event of the surname is too exciting, today I only have time to pass through the street, Ma Rulan plans to go to the attic Buddhist hall for dignitaries and nobles tomorrow to see, I don't know how wonderful it is.

Ma Rulan pulled Jiang Lan, "Don't bother yourself, it won't be beautiful." I'll come back tomorrow, but I haven't seen a lot of places. ”

Jiang Lan raised her little head with a "whoosh", "Really? Wait for Ma Rulan to nod, this little bit rubs and rubs, "Ma Niangniang treats Jiang Lan best......"
