Chapter 54: West Market

After being searched by the city guards, the carriage entered the Mingde Gate and entered the lively Suzaku Street.

"Little Marquis, we are unfamiliar with the place, where are we going to live?" Chen Tai asked.

Li Sicong waved his hand disappreciably: "Wherever you are, there can be a place to sleep on the kang." ”

After so many days of travel, Li Sicong can be said to miss that soft kang pillow very much.

This requirement seems simple, but it is difficult to hear Chen Tai's ears, although Li Sicong is very casual, but really looking for a broken place where you can sleep on the kang, I am afraid that I will be beaten out by Li Sicong.

"Coachman, ask someone for directions and see where there are the most inns." Chen Tai opened the door curtain and said.

"Yes."

The coachman replied, then stopped Mahler, jumped out of the carriage and asked the passer-by.

After a while, the coachman returned to the carriage: "Two adults, the younger one has heard that there are many inns near the West Market, should we go there to have a look?" ”

"Little Hou Ye ......"

"Go ahead."

"Yes, let's go to the West Market."

"Okay, let's go."

The coachman replied, and then swept the horse pole in his hand and continued to hurry.

Chang'an City is the political, economic and cultural center of the entire Tang Dynasty, and it is very prosperous.

After arriving at the street near Xishi, Li Sicong and others found a place called 'Donglai Inn' to rest.

Because there are too many salutes, and the valuable belongings are placed on it, Li Sicong is not very relieved, so he plans to rent two upper rooms to place his own people and salute.

However, the owner of the inn was very unhappy, after all, the gifts carried by Li Sicong and the others were too large and heavy, which crushed this and that, and it was really troublesome to claim.

Li Sicong was too lazy to yell at the boss more, and directly offered a generous condition for renting for a month, so that he had to agree to this matter.

After some settling in, it was getting late.

Under the auspices of Chen Tai, everyone had a light meal in a private room, but Li Sicong only opened the table and said a few words, and then left the private room.

After dinner, a large number of coachmen waited at the door.

"A few old brothers have been waiting for a long time, this is the reward."

As Chen Tai spoke, he handed out a few money bags to the coachman.

Several coachmen lifted the heavy money bags in their hands, and the fatigue on their faces suddenly disappeared: "My lord, if you have any orders in the future, just look for us, and we will do our best." ”

"Hehe, I know, don't worry, if I have a job, I will definitely look for you."

"Then thank you first, we won't disturb the rest."

After several coachmen raised their hands to Chen Tai and saluted, they turned around and went downstairs one after another and left the inn.

Chen Tai returned to the house and found that Li Sicong didn't know when he had already fallen asleep on the bed 'purring', and he also shook his head and exhaled his breath, and then lay down on another bed and fell asleep.

And in the next room, Hu Qing and Wu Yulin also lay on the bed, and slept without even a futon.

The night passed quickly, the sun rose in the east, and the sun shone on Li Sicong's face through the window, which made Li Sicong feel a little uncomfortable, blinked his eyelids and opened his eyes.

"Aha! ~”

Li Sicong raised his arms and yawned long, then sat up.

Li Sicong glanced at the bed not far away, and found that Chen Tai was still sleeping soundly on the bed, so he got out of bed lightly.

After a simple wash in front of the washbasin, the sleepiness on Li Sicong's face disappeared and he became energetic.

Li Sicong looked up at the bronze mirror in front of the washbasin, which made himself a little distorted, but he pursed his lips dissatisfiedly, and reached out to escape the bright hand mirror from his arms.

For this hand mirror, Li Sicong tied his long hair back again, and then showed a satisfied smile.

"It's still my mirror."

Li Sicong propped his eyebrows, kicked the mirror into his arms, and then looked through the window at the street outside the window.

On both sides of the street, vendors from all walks of life sat on the ground, introducing their products to the surrounding spectators, which was so lively.

"Yo he, it seems to be fun, go down and have a look."

Li Sicong muttered to himself, and then went downstairs directly, out of the inn and onto the street.

Li Sicong looked while walking, and stopped at the street stall from time to time to ask.

"How much does this bottle cost?"

Li Sicong asked, pointing to one of the colorful bottles.

The vendor saw that there was business coming to the door, but he hurriedly greeted: "Guest officer, you have a really good eye, this is a pure jade bottle produced by the official kiln, although there are some flaws, but it is a first-class licensed goods, and it is only sold three times." ”

"Sanguan?"

Li Sicong looked at the vendor, his eyebrows furrowed slightly.

In other words, Li Sicong once saw this bottle on a treasure hunt show on TV, and it was almost identical.

The difference is that the bottle on TV was valued at 300 million by experts, but the one in front of me is only a few thousand yuan, and the RMB converted into the 21st century is only a few thousand yuan.

Seeing that Li Sicong was a little stunned, the vendor thought that he was saying that it was expensive, but he gritted his teeth and said: "If you sincerely ask for it, I will be cheaper by five yuan, if you don't want it, forget it." ”

Hearing this, Li Sicong couldn't help but feel a little emotional, thinking, this guy probably wouldn't have thought that such an inconspicuous little bottle would be able to sell for more than 100 million yuan in the future, right?

"If only it were in the 21st century......"

Li Sicong shook his head and muttered to himself, then got up and left.

"The twenty-first century? What's that? ”

The vendor looked at Li Sicong's departing back, showing a look of neuroticism.

Li Sicong's place of residence is very close to the West Market, and he walked along the street all the way, and soon entered the gate of the West Market.

The business environment inside the West Market is very different from the small stalls and vendors on the streets outside, just like the difference between a modern store and a commissary, which is very regular.

Iron shop, cloth shop, meat shop, fish shop, medicine shop......

Li Sicong looked along the road, and only felt that the ancients lived a hard time, just like the distance between the meat shop and the rice shop was two or three miles, and ordinary people still needed to run several more times to buy rice noodles and meat.

"It would be nice to have a supermarket here...... Supermarket? ”

Li Sicong had an idea: "Why don't I open a supermarket here?" ”

"Get out of the way!"

Suddenly, a rude shout rang out in his ears, and before Li Sicong could react, he was vigorously pushed aside.

Li Sicong was a little stunned and even a little annoyed by this sudden change, and after reacting, he hurriedly looked at the people who passed by him.

A dozen tall men in robes walked over in groups.

However, although these people are wearing Tang Dynasty costumes, the essence revealed from their bones is not like Han people at all.

Perhaps feeling Li Sicong's gaze, one of the men with a long round face turned his head and glared at Li Sicong.

And it was this glance that made Li Sicong feel quite uncomfortable, as if he had seen a vicious wolf in the downtown area, which was very strange.
