said that it was evening, but in fact, when Zhu Zilong and Li Qingzhao arrived in Kaifeng, it was almost morning. It should be said that it will not be long before dawn.

After all, they set out from the Happy Forest at night, and after a few hours on the road, wasn't it almost dawn?

On the morning of Kaifeng, the vendors selling vegetables stood all over the market, selling in various dialects and ways, one after another, presenting a lively scene. From afar, I smelled the smell of vegetables coming from the vegetable market.

said that he was going to Taobao and participating in the triennial cultural meeting that Li Qingzhao said.

But you can't skip breakfast, right?

In addition, people didn't have any activities so early, so Zhu Zilong pulled Li Qingzhao and decided to take a walk in the actual place first, and eat a full stomach.

"Buying and selling day and night, three or four drums at night, tourists are scarce; Five drums and bells are ringing, and the morning market sellers are opening shops again. What a familiar picture, alas! Li Qingzhao sighed a lot, obviously, she was worried about whether she would be able to see more pictures like this in the future.

After all, she can't live in the capital for a long time in the future, and she went to a small place in her hometown, how can it be so lively?

"Qingzhao doesn't have to worry, maybe things will turn around. Even if it doesn't work, the official document only says that you want to leave Beijing, but it doesn't say how many miles away from Beijing, it's a big deal that you live across Beijing. You can also go to the markets outside the city and in the neighboring cities! Zhu Zilong thought about it and gave Li Qing a more dishonest and shameless plan.

"If I'm like this, isn't the bullying as shameless as Gao Yanei?" Li Qingzhao gave Zhu Zilong a charming white eye.

"Hahaha!" Zhu Zilong smirked to himself and didn't answer, but he whispered to himself: "Where is the undisciplined, isn't it just the same as the insurance company contract in later generations, playing word games?" These civil officials of the Song Dynasty have not played like this, they can. Why can't good people? ”

Li Qingzhao in front seemed to like soup very much, so he stopped in front of a small shop specializing in selling all kinds of soup food.

Zhu Zilong and his people followed, only to see three words written on the signboard of this small shop------ "Chicken Soup for the Soul"!

Alas, I went, Zhu Zilong almost fell to the ground.

Is this TM a misunderstanding, or is the shopkeeper a traverser? That's a coincidence, isn't it?

Speechless to speechless, doubt to suspicion, Zhu Zilong still followed quickly. In this shop, all kinds of soup bottles are boiling on the fire, and they are full of fragrance.

If you look closely, you can see that there are still words written on the bottle. Oh no, it's the words that are engraved.

What Erchen Soup, Jujube Soup, Ginger Soup, Lychee Round Eye Soup, Mint Soup, Jupiter Soup, Dust-free Soup, Muxiang Soup, Xiangsu Soup, Salt Soy Soup, Dried Papaya Soup, Shrinking Sand Soup, Wet Papaya Soup, White Plum Soup, Black Plum Soup, Osmanthus Soup, Cardamom Soup, Broken Qi Soup, Yuzhen Soup, Puzzle Soup, Sandalwood Soup, Apricot Frost Soup, Pepper Soup, Perilla Soup, Dongting Soup, etc., are really diverse.

"My Da Song Dynasty is really rich in the people, just a family, looking at him, he doesn't seem to be a rich man, and Jingran also opened such a store!" Zhu Zilong sighed very much.

Last time I passed by Taixue, Zhu Zilong went inside to take a look, and when he looked at the history of the Song Dynasty inside, he didn't think so.

Now it is a lot of feelings, Zhenzong, a large number of wealthy people began to appear in the capital, "assets of one million at most, 100,000 and above abounds." Not only large and medium-sized cities, there are Song dynasties, small towns and bazaars are also very prosperous, according to incomplete statistics, the number of towns in the Northern Song Dynasty is more than 1,900, and the Southern Song Dynasty also has more than 1,300.

There are also numerous village fairs, temple markets and other primary commercial markets under the town. These markets deal mainly in bulk agricultural and handicraft products, and are dominated by small and medium-sized merchants, many of whom have a lot of money.

Even in the rural areas, there are many wealthy people, and ordinary people get rich by relying on the processing industry and aquaculture, such as "tea garden households", "rural wine households", "flower households", "medicine households", "lacquer households" and so on. It's full of life!

-

In the chicken soup shop, Zhu Zilong deliberately tested the boss. As it turned out, the man was not a traverser.

The reason why the name of the store is "Chicken Soup for the Soul" is purely coincidental!

It is said that because the ancestors have always believed in the Tao and have been officials, they advocate the study of the mind. Pay attention to the supremacy of the soul, and by his generation, he was already half illiterate. There is no level to participate in the imperial examination, but literacy is still literate.

So, he came up with such a store name that was easy for Zhu Zilong to misunderstand.

Li Qingzhao is obviously a regular customer of this shop, and he chatted with the owner enthusiastically after eating.

"Ah Hu, where is your mutton and chicken soup? Why aren't there any of them today? Li Qingzhao asked.

"Let my sister know that it's not that I can't afford this soup, but that this mutton has recently been written, and the number of literati and elegant things has increased. There are few goods on the market, and the price has risen more than ten times, almost profitlessly and losing money. So during this time, I can only stop opening the soup for the time being! The shopkeeper replied.

"The price of mutton is already high, and it has risen tenfold?" Li Qingzhao seemed to be surprised, and Zhu Zilong also looked sideways.

You must know that in the Song Dynasty, mutton was a very luxurious ingredient, and ordinary people couldn't afford to eat it at all. Su Wensheng, eat vegetable soup".

In the Song Dynasty, there was a special kind of "feeding sheep" as a bureaucratic servant, with at least two per person per month and as many as twenty. Mutton has become a treatment and symbol for officials.

Even the celebrity Su Shi himself has times when he can't afford to eat mutton. After being demoted to Huizhou, Su Shi was financially constrained, so he could only look at the "sheep" and sigh, and he really wanted to eat, so he bought some sheep backbones to boil soup or barbecue to satisfy his hunger.

As far as Zhu Zilong knows, at this point in time, the price of mutton is usually about 900 yuan a catty, which is about one tael of silver.

Now the price has risen tenfold?

About ten taels of silver for a pound of mutton? Pit daddy, which common people can eat?

-

Out of the chicken soup shop, there are several butcher stalls on the side not far away.

Zhu Zilong looked at it from a distance, and the price card was really mutton that scared people to death, but fortunately, the price of pork dropped a little. And it used to be cheap, well, that's good. Only Uncle Zhang won't use this to hang himself at night!

Suddenly, Li Qingzhao flashed behind Zhu Zilong, as if he was avoiding someone.

Zhu Zilong looked over there along her perspective, and it turned out to be a scholar-like person buying meat there.

"You know him, who is he?" Zhu Zilong asked Li Qingzhao curiously.

"It's an acquaintance, the eldest son of a monk from Dongpo, and I'm afraid he'll recognize me. It's better to turn on one side! Li Qingzhao replied.

"The eldest son of the Dongpo monk, oh, that's Su Mai." Zhu Zilong's eyes lit up: "It's just an acquaintance, the more we have to go over to test it, our disguise can't pass the test." ”

However, just when Zhu Zilong was about to pull the reluctant Li Qingzhao forward.

I saw another person coming to the side of Su Mai in front of me, this person Li Qingzhao knew, and Zhu Zilong knew even more. Without it, this is the arrival of Lord Bao!

Of course, this bag is an adult, not another bag!
