Chang'an, located in modern SX Xi'an, is the capital city with the most dynasties, the longest and the most influential capital in Chinese history, also known as the Western Capital during the Three Kingdoms period, the birthplace of Chinese civilization, the eastern starting point of the Silk Road and the starting point of the Sui-Tang Grand Canal.

Looking at the majestic capital in front of him, Luo Yi was full of emotion, he came from later generations, he was a traverser, he had an inexplicable admiration and yearning for Chang'an, and he wanted to go to Xi'an to see it, but he didn't expect to come to the Tang Dynasty to see it.

As far as the eye can see, the tall city wall towers into the clouds, the red wall is whitewashed, the light shines, like Mount Tai, the momentum is like a rainbow, and it is like the Great Wall, there is no end in sight at a glance, and it gives people the feeling that it is shocking --- two words!

If it was a war year, it would be invincible to have such a fortified city.

Luo Yi pulled the cart and walked forward step by step, the closer he got to the city wall, the smaller potholes that appeared on the city wall, a sense of historical vicissitudes came to his face, and people couldn't help but be in awe.

Lanny sat on the cart and watched the crowd of people passing by on both sides, looking quite happy.

The four dogs and the second fat were pushing behind, already sweating, but the two of them did not complain, and were still holding the cart hard.

As the crowd got closer and closer, they came to the city gate in a blink of an eye, and the cart was stopped by four armored soldiers.

One of the soldiers held his spear and asked expressionlessly, "What kind of cargo is on the car?" Routine checks! ”

The black blind man on the cart had been covered up by Luo Yi with straw and was not visible.

Luo Yi hurriedly accompanied the smiling face and said: "A few big brothers, we are all countrymen, pull some straw into the city to sell, a small business. ”

Straw?

The soldier looked up at the cart, and the straw was there, but it was very scattered, and it was obvious that there was an east XC underneath.

The soldier shouted, "Go away, we're going to check." ”

In fact, the inspection is nothing, there is no contraband in the car anyway, and there is no murder weapon, but Luo Yi is worried, if the soldier sees a rare bear paw, like such a valuable thing, will he see the money?

After some consideration, he quickly took out the only ten cents on his body from his cuffs and stuffed it into the soldier's hand: "Brother Bing, it's really a straw, so you don't need to check it." ”

Ten yuan was very valuable in the Tang Dynasty, and it was worth two buckets of rice, which was almost thirty catties, which was already a huge amount of money for a small soldier defending the city, which was worth a few months' salary.

The soldier was stunned, quickly kicked the money up, looked around, and whispered, "Don't go quickly." ”

Luo Yi's heart was pounding, 10,000 grass and mud horses ran by, for fear that the soldiers would not buy it, but what he didn't expect was that the soldiers were so refreshing, they were still aggressive in the last second, and they bent their waists for ten cents in the next second.

Throwing a contemptuous look at the soldiers, Luo Yi hurriedly pulled the cart and walked towards the city and entered Chang'an City.

The second fat and the fourth dog also breathed a sigh of relief, and the two secretly said that Luo Yi was clever, if the straw was lifted, two bear paws would definitely be taken away, and there would be no place to cry when the time came.

When he came to the city, Luo Yi stopped and looked at it, its prosperous scene was breathtaking, the endless streets extended to the inner city, and the pedestrians on the road were endless, shoulder to shoulder, like a sea of people.

The prosperous capital of Chang'an is truly worthy of its name and deserves to be the ancient capital of thousands of years.

Pulling the cart and continuing to walk forward, he entered the sea of people after a while.

The purpose of coming to Chang'an is to sell black blind people, so naturally they are looking for restaurants all over the street, because the most valuable thing on the board car is the bear's paw, which is still relatively rare, and it is a treasure and delicacy that has been passed down for a long time in the palace.

Like this kind of precious thing, ordinary people can't afford to eat, even if it is a restaurant, you have to find that kind of special style, otherwise you don't even have the capital to buy bear paws.

After walking around the street, passing by more than a dozen restaurants, all of them were filtered out by Luo Yi one by one, judging from the specifications of those restaurants, it doesn't look like they are rich, and the most important thing is that the people who enter the restaurant to eat are all dressed in relatively ordinary clothes, can such people afford to eat bear paws?

It wasn't until the evening that Luo Yi finally found the target, a very magnificent restaurant called Sihai Restaurant!

Parking the cart outside the Sihai Restaurant, Luo Yi poked his head and looked inside, there were a lot of people, coming and going, all with their heads held high, and they knew at a glance that they were rich people, and those personable sons and brothers were walking upstairs, holding a folding fan in their hands, and they were extraordinary at a glance.

The most important thing is the style of the restaurant, only such a restaurant can afford to buy expensive food treasures.

"Alright, that's it."

Beckoning Lanny to get out of the car, and calling the second fat and the fourth dog to the front, Luo Yi said, "You guys are waiting here, I'll go in and ask." ”

"Okay."

The two wiped the hot sweat from their foreheads and agreed.

Luo Yi turned around, and just as he was about to enter the Four Seas Restaurant, a person ran out of it quickly, not very old, with a haughty expression, first looked at Luo Yi and the others, and then shouted: "Where are you from called Huazi, go away, is this also where you can come." ”

Don't look at him wearing a brocade robe and a jade belt around his waist, in fact, he is just a young man from the Four Seas Restaurant, he was still serving food in it just now, and now he is facing a countryman like Luo Yi, pretending to be an uncle.

The young men of the Four Seas Restaurant are different from those in other places, in order to decorate the façade, even the young men wear the best fabrics, so as to show the extraordinaryness of the restaurant and brew a noble feeling.

Luo Yi looked inside, and when he saw that the little guys serving the dishes were also dressed like the people in front of him, he understood the identity of the other party.

was regarded as called Hanako, the second fat face twitched, and said unconvinced: "What is Huazi, we are here to sell vegetables, there are four bear paws, do you want it?" ”

As he spoke, he lifted the straw.

Luo Yi hurriedly turned around and squeezed his eyes at Er Fat, signaling him to shut up, he finally found a restaurant, if he offended someone, then he had to continue to look for it, even if he was a vegetable seller, he didn't have to be too reasonable, compared with other people's big restaurants, it was called Huazi, but it was actually about the same.

However, what Luo Yi didn't expect was that the young man didn't get angry, nor did he say whether he wanted bear paws, but stared at Luo Yi with a frown, as if he was thinking about something.

The contrast between the young man and the front and back is too great, and he was angry and fierce at the last moment, but now he has relaxed.

Luo Yi also noticed it, waited for a while and asked, "Boss, do you want a bear's paw?" ”

The young man came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "If you want it, you want as much as you want, come with me." ”

"There are four."

Luo Yi walked to the cart, picked up four bear paws, followed the young man, and entered the restaurant.

Two Fat, Four Dogs, and Lannie stayed outside, pushing the carriage aside and waiting.

In the restaurant, the young man took Luo Yi to the warehouse, weighed the bear's paw with a scale, and gave a price, twenty taels of silver!

Luo Yi thought about it, in the early Tang Dynasty, silver was very valuable, five cents could buy a bucket of rice, one tael of silver counted as a thousand wen, you could buy two hundred buckets of rice, and ten buckets were one stone, which was twenty stones.

Good girl, I'm really rich...

Although he was happy in his heart, he didn't show joy on his face, but asked lightly: "Boss, four bear paws are twenty taels of silver, you won't be blinding me, right?" ”

"Hehe... No, no, that's the price. ”

The young man replied with a smile.

Luo Yi felt a little strange, since entering the restaurant, the young man seemed to have changed as if he had changed a person, speaking politely, and smiling from time to time.

Is this dazzling yourself? Luo Yi couldn't help but think so in his heart.

Generally like a young man in a big restaurant, if he is a dignitary, he will definitely please him in every possible way, and he can kneel down, but for a countryman like Luo Yi, there is no need for that at all, and they will not let go of an opportunity to pretend to be forced when they finally catch it.

But that's the case, the young guy seems to treat Luo Yi as the uncles who are eating in the restaurant, and the contrast between before and after is really the difference between heaven and earth.

Although he was puzzled, Luo Yi didn't ask, now he was talking about the price of the bear's paw, he thought about it, and made a bid: "That's it, brother, if you give me thirty taels of silver, I will give you these four bear's paws." ”

"Thirty taels... I'll have to think about it. ”

The young man seemed to be a little embarrassed, but he only hesitated for a while, and then agreed: "Okay, thirty taels is thirty taels." ”

took the money from the counter, handed it to Luo Yi very happily, and said: "Then our deal is reached, the cooperation is pleasant, if there is still in the future, you can bring it to me." ”

"Thank you."

Hugging his fists, Luo Yi turned around and hurried away.

After selling thirty taels of silver, he was already very satisfied, as for why the young man agreed so quickly, and why his attitude suddenly became ambiguous, he no longer thought about it, anyway, the silver was in hand, and it was better to go.

Soon after he left, the man in charge of bookkeeping entered the warehouse and asked the young man, "How much did you get for four bear paws?" ”

He was holding a pen and paper in his hand, ready to register.

The young man poked his head and stared at the back of Luo Yi leaving, and seeing Luo Yi pushing the cart away, he came back to his senses and said, "Oh... It's not expensive, it's only thirty taels of silver. ”

The bookkeeper almost fell to the ground with a book: "What did you say? Thirty taels? Crazy you. ”

In fact, the real price of the bear's paw is four taels of silver, Luo Yi's four are young black and blind, and they are worth fifteen taels at most, and the young man can give a price of twenty taels at the beginning, which is already a big discount.

However, what the bookkeeper didn't expect was that these four little bear paws cost thirty taels of silver to receive, which is enough to collect eight.

The young man hurriedly said: "Don't worry, listen to what I said, do you think that this bear's paw seller just now looks like a person?" ”

"Like whom?" The bookkeeper asked impatiently.

The young man said: "Luo Yi! ”

"Luo Yi? Isn't he dead, I heard that he jumped off a cliff and died, and Luo Fu has been looking for half a month. ”

The bookkeeper frowned, thought about it carefully, and nodded, "Hmm... When you say this, it's really, it's a bit similar, but since he didn't die, why didn't he go back to Luofu, and he even sold bear paws in a beggar's suit, strange. ”

"That's the problem."

The young man said excitedly: "I guess he must have broken his head and couldn't find his way home, let's hurry to Luofu to report, and say that we found Luo Yi's traces; You can follow me to get rich, Luo Fu is now offering a reward of 1,000 taels of silver to find him, let's tell Luo Fu the news, and at least 500 taels can be obtained. ”

"Can you be sure that he is Luo Yi from Luo Mansion?"

"This... I can't say for sure, but.... Speaking of this, the young man slapped his head and exclaimed, "Oops... I forgot to ask him what his name was. ”

"You... You... There is no hair on the mouth, and the work is not firm. ”

The guy in the tent glared at him fiercely, then put the pen and paper in his hand on the counter, and said, "Let's go, let's go and find it quickly, maybe we can catch up now, we must find out if he is Luo Yi of Luofu." ”

The two hit it off, hurriedly rushed out of the restaurant, and ran towards the street, as for the matter of the thirty taels of silver, it has been left behind by the two, and now there are more important things to do, compared with a thousand taels of silver, a few dozen taels of silver is nothing, nine cows and a hair, the sea is a scoop, and there is only an autumn leaf between heaven and earth, which is not proportional.
