The West Market is an important commercial center of Chang'an City, in terms of prosperity, it is much more than the East City, due to the pattern of Chang'an City's "East Rich and West Rich", the West Market has become a gathering place for all merchants, including businessmen from all over the world.

The West Market is the same as the Li Fang in the pattern, there are tall walls all around, its scale is quite huge, each city accounts for about 2 square areas, there are 4 streets in the city, there are 2 gates on each side of the wall, the West Market is a closed centralized transaction, that is, a number of similar commodities are gathered together, with the unit of 'Want', or the equivalent 'line', 'shop', and there is a special management agency in the city - the Municipal Bureau and the Quasi-Bureau. The trading area is also concentrated in a relatively closed place with walls on all sides and a market gate.

The Maison's Linglong Plaza was built in the central area of the West Market, and the shops of the Business Alliance also had branches in the West Market, but there was no Pearl Plaza, which allowed the Maison to take advantage of it.

Early in the morning, Li Yi took Zhong Yan, Bingyu, and Wu sisters, a group of five people to the West Market, in fact, Li Yi wanted to buy a dog, and it was completely possible for people to "deliver it to the door", but Li Yi wanted to take a look more, so he came directly to the West Market.

Although the goods sold in the West Market are very uniform, there are also some gray areas. These places do not hang signs, do not actively solicit customers, are private places, and only receive special guests.

The Strange Beast Pavilion is such an existence.

Li Yi and his entourage came to the door of a huge mansion, the word "Zhao Mansion" was written on the plaque, and at a cursory glance, those who did not know it must have thought that this was the mansion of the nobleman, but in fact, there was something inside.

"This is the Strange Beast Pavilion?"

Li Yi is dressed in gold-patterned white, with a hand-cranked folding fan, a jade belt around his waist, and cloud boots on his feet, full of luxury.

Everyone looked at the bland mansion in front of them and was a little curious, no matter how they looked at it, it didn't look like a place to do business.

"Yes, young master, this was originally the residence of a nobleman, this nobleman likes to keep rare beasts in captivity, so he specially bought this mansion and kept strange beasts in captivity, but then this nobleman suddenly encountered a big disaster and urgently needed a sum of money, so as a last resort, this nobleman found some friends and sold some strange beasts. Over time, this noble man tasted the sweetness, so he started a special business of buying and selling strange beasts, and named it the Strange Beast Pavilion. It's just that it is limited to a small area, and only if the status is enough, can you become a guest, otherwise other people, even if you know here, you can't enter, and besides, this strange beast pavilion is only circulated in the aristocratic circle, and if it doesn't have a certain status, you don't know about the existence of this place at all. ”

Li Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth smiled. "Interesting, I didn't expect that there is such a place in Chang'an, where things are scarce and expensive, this noble man is quite good at doing business!"

"Young master, not only that, in the aristocratic circle, the strange beasts in captivity of the Strange Beast Pavilion are already a status symbol, if anyone's family is not a pet of the Strange Beast Pavilion, they may also be ridiculed."

"Oh? And what's going on? Haha, even the brand effect is there? Beautiful, this noble man is really a genius! ”

Li Yi found himself more and more interested in the Strange Beast Pavilion.

"No matter how powerful you are, you can't compare to my brother, and my brother's membership card system has overshadowed all business methods."

Wu Meiniang couldn't listen to Li Yi's wisdom to destroy her own prestige. I couldn't help but speak. The expression is very proud, as if there is a pride.

Li Yi gently tapped Wu Meiniang's forehead with a smile, and said: "Little girl, don't be so competitive, everyone has their own strengths, we can't always live in glory!" This is the brain door of the Empress of the Ages, ordinary people can't knock on it, Li Yi thought with a bad taste in his heart.

Wu Meiniang was very disgusted that Li Yi knocked on his head, twitched her little nose, and slapped Li Yi's hand aside.

"My brother knocked me on the forehead again! Brother is nagging again! Brother is so annoying! ”

"Hey! You stinky girl......"

Li Yi's eyes glared fiercely.

Wu Meiniang stuck out her tongue and ran behind Bingyu.

Bing Yu was caught in the middle, and she couldn't laugh or cry.

"Young master, why don't we go in first!"

Li Yi snorted lightly. "Just give Bingyu a face!"

Li Yi is only suitable for Wu Meiniang to play around, but Wu Meiniang's competitiveness is indeed too strong, and Li Yi is trying to help this girl go to the root of the disease.

Several people laughed for a while, and then walked towards the gate of the house, and when they reached the door, they were stopped by the gatekeeper who held the door.

"How many piggybacks, dare to ask a few honorable names? Do you have an invitation? ”

One of the guards stepped forward and asked, his expression neither humble nor arrogant, neither humble nor arrogant, which made people feel very comfortable.

Li Yi couldn't help but sigh, the Internet can't be fully believed, when he came to the Tang Dynasty, Li Yi found that the more the mansion is not simple, the more the concierge will understand the etiquette, like many dogs written in the eyes of people are low, if it is not a case, or it is a nouveau riche, otherwise, the general number of etiquette of large families is very thorough. After all, as a subordinate, no one dares to cause trouble for his master because of himself.

Zhong Yan stepped forward, handed over a gold sticker, and said loudly: "This is my young master, Li Yi, the prince of Weinan County!" ”

When the porter heard this, his face was startled at first, and he hurriedly bowed down and saluted. "It turned out that the grandfather arrived, the kid was clumsy, and he was rude, I hope the grandfather will forgive me!"

Li Yi waved his hand. "Hehe, it's okay, lead the way!"

The porter hurriedly turned to the side and pointed his finger. "Grandpa, please!" After the porter finished speaking, he gave his companion a look, and his companion nodded, and hurriedly ran to the house, probably to invite his master. Li Yi's current identity is not ordinary, except for the emperor's relatives and relatives, Li Yi is the small group of people standing at the top, and this Strange Beast Pavilion naturally does not dare to slack off.

The porter led Li Yi and the others to the main hall, and ordered the subordinates to serve tea and pastries before bowing and retreating.

Li Yi and the three girls sat down separately, while Zhong Yan stood respectfully behind Li Yi. A few people were sipping tea, and as soon as they took a few sips, they heard a rush of footsteps outside the door.

Li Yi raised his head, looked at the door, and saw a slightly chubby middle-aged man trotting here.

"Haha, I don't know if my grandfather is here, I haven't welcomed it from afar, and I hope the industry will forgive me!"

After speaking, the person had already walked into the hall, and then bowed to Li Yi, and then said: "Zhao Han, the shopkeeper of the villain Strange Beast Pavilion, meet my grandfather!" ”

Li Yi didn't get up either, but just held it with his hands. Said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Zhao is polite, I have heard the name of the Strange Beast Pavilion for a long time, and there is a lack of some strange beasts in the backyard of the house today, so I will come to your pavilion to take a look, and I hope that Shopkeeper Zhao will take more care of it!" ”

Shopkeeper Zhao's face was happy. "It is an honor for the grandfather to come here with a face, and the villain will definitely do his best to satisfy the grandfather."

"That's good, well, it's not too early, so let's go?"

Shopkeeper Zhao turned sideways and stretched out his hand to salute.

"Grandpa, please, the villain will show the way for grandpa."

"Okay, then I'll bother Shopkeeper Zhao!"
