There are a lot of blacksmiths in the West Market, and this barbecue grill is not difficult, so just find one and make it clear.

It's a bit of a hassle to prepare the ingredients.

The main thing is that there are too few ingredients.

There is no shortage of meat, chickens, ducks, fish, sheep and porpoises, and even deer and bears.

It's just that there is no food, and it is not beautiful after all.

It's not that there are no green vegetables, but it's a pity that only the emperor and a very small number of people who have been rewarded by the emperor have some of them.

As early as the Qin and Han dynasties, there were special people for the emperor to plant green vegetables in winter, "winter green onions and leeks Ru, covered with roofs, day and night to burn the fire, waiting for the warm air to be born." "Yunhuo" is a flameless combustion method, the purpose of which is to warm the room and facilitate the growth of vegetables.

However, it is a technical work, and once it is not properly controlled, either the firewood is burned or covered into charcoal, which is extremely difficult.

And the amount of firewood consumed is huge, and it is by no means affordable for ordinary people.

Therefore, before the Tang and Song dynasties, more natural resources were used to heat up.

After the Tang and Song dynasties, more greenhouses began to be built, and fire channels were built, and indoor temperatures were increased through fire channels. There is still a lot of wood that can be consumed, and ordinary people can't afford it.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was an "inner garden" for the court to grow out-of-season fruits and vegetables, which was to introduce hot spring water to create a temperature suitable for the growth of vegetables.

Tang poet Wang Jian's poem "Early Spring in Front of the Palace": "The inner garden is divided into warm soup, and the melon has entered in mid-February", which is exactly what he said.

There are pickled vegetables on the market, and there are also more expensive cellar vegetables, but there are too few types, only a few kinds such as sunflowers, which are also expensive because of the few.

In the end, there are too few crops.

It's a pity that so many fruits and vegetables and grains are still on the American continent at the moment, and with today's navigation technology and shipbuilding technology, they must not be able to run.

Waiting for the blacksmith to build a barbecue grill, the shopkeeper Fang came over.

He had already found a few houses that he was going to sell through Ya Yu and reported them to Wei Renshi.

"Shopkeeper Fang, I heard that there are very few people living in the Lifang in the south of Chang'an City, and even many places in it have been reclaimed as vegetable fields, I don't know if it's true or not?" Wei Renshi asked in the carriage.

When he was traveling in Xi'an in later generations, he saw the saying that Chang'an City was empty in the south and rich in the north, and that the east was rich and the west was rich, so he asked questions with great interest.

Shopkeeper Fang nodded and said, "What Gongzi heard is not bad. This Chang'an city is very large and has a large population, but it is a virtual city in the south and a real place in the north, rich in the east and rich in the west. ”

Hearing these eight words from his mouth, Wei Renshi became even more interested and asked, "Can you talk to me in detail?" ”

"It's good to teach Wei Gongzi to know. The north of Chang'an City is where the palace city and the imperial city are located, so the population is mostly concentrated here, and most of them are the mansions of high-ranking officials and nobles. The garden square and the Shengye square in the northeast of the city are the palace gatherings, and the garden square once had the sixteen princes of His Majesty Xuanzong lived, known as the sixteen princes' mansions. Shengye Fang has Xue Wang Ye House, Ning Wang Xian Mountain Pond Courtyard. There are many princess mansions in Chongrenfang. Anrenfang is more than the prince's foreign family. Yishanfang and Laitingfang are mostly inhabited by eunuchs. The people in Pingkangfang are even more mixed. Sanqu to the east of the north gate, is the residence of prostitutes, Chang'an famous prostitutes are here, Kyoto is full of chivalry, and they are also gathered here. This workshop is also known as the Merry Yazawa. Around the West Market, many wealthy merchants lived, and even many Hu merchants also lived here. The shopkeeper Fang said to Wei Renshi: "As for the land south of the city, it is not as good as the north of the city. In particular, Nansanliefang, because of its remote location, is called outside the perimeter, but the people living there are relatively rare. Although there are residents from time to time, the fireworks are not connected, and the cultivation and planting are connected. The ascension workshop in the southeast is full of ruins, and no one lives in it. In the longevity workshop in the southwest, I still hear all the big insects infesting it! ”

"There are so many doorways!" Wei Renshi listened to the words of the shopkeeper and said with a smile: "Where are the houses that the shopkeeper is inquiring about?" ”

"Yankang Fang, Yanshou Fang, and Anxing Fang are all in it." Shopkeeper Fang said: "Then take Wei Langjun to have a look." ”

"Okay." Wei Renshi nodded.

Yanshoufang and Yankangfang are both near Xishi, so naturally I took a look at these two places first.

There are many gold, silver and jewelry shops in Yanshou Fang, Wei Renshi was curious, so he asked, "Doesn't it mean that all shops should be opened in the second city?" Even if there are other shops, they are only very small shops, or vendors set up stalls. Why is it still allowed to be opened in the longevity workshop? ”

"That's what I said, but it's not too strict." The shopkeeper said: "The shops in the two cities are very expensive, and some shops are simply opened elsewhere, as long as they make a little money, no one will take care of it." In Chang'an City, there are many colored valerian shops in Xuanyang Fang, there are many gold, silver and jewelry shops in Yanshou Fang, and there are many shops with funeral utensils in Fengyi Fang, all of which are there. ”

As they spoke, the two of them went outside a house. Judging from the courtyard wall outside, the place is not small.

The two of them went around to the side and entered through the alleyway, looking for the door wall.

The Tang Dynasty also had regulations on housing, and only those who were above the third grade, or those who were "three uniques in the square" - those who had both the family, talent, and literature - could open the door to the street outside the square. The houses of other officials and ordinary people had to open their doors to the house. Therefore, those who can see the gate on both sides of the thoroughfare in Chang'an City are generally princes and nobles, and court officials.

This one is obviously not, so its door is open inward, and it can only pass through the side alleyway.

Knocking on the door, the porter saw that he didn't recognize it, so he asked, "I don't know how many people are ......?"

"Oh, I heard that your house is planning to sell this house, so I came here to take a look." Shopkeeper Fang stepped forward and said.

The porter listened and said, "But this is sorry, my master has already sold this house to someone else yesterday." ”

"Oh? So fast? Shopkeeper Fang was taken aback and said, "I heard yesterday morning that it was ready to be sold?" ”

"A friend of the head of the family heard that the house was going to be sold, so he came and bought it in the afternoon." The porter said.

"That's a nuisance." Shopkeeper Fang said, and the doorman closed the door again.

Shopkeeper Fang walked over, with some pity on his face, and said: "Of the three houses I inquired about, this one is the largest, it's a pity." ”

"In that case, then let's go to Yankang Fang again." Wei Renshi didn't care and said.

Yankang Fang is also near Xishi, not far from Yanshou Fang. The people went up to the carriage and arrived in a short time.

It is also a small courtyard, although it is smaller than the previous one, but it is actually not small.

The shopkeeper stepped forward and knocked on the door, and the little guy who opened the door saw that a few people were not familiar faces, so he asked, "How many of you have come to ask about the sale of the house?" ”

Shopkeeper Fang nodded and said, "It's intentional, please inform the master." ”

The little guy opened the door and said, "A few people come in with the little ones, my young lady has explained, and those who intend to buy this house don't need to be notified." ”
