(Thank you jjs45 for the tip!) Today's five watches, this is the first watch)

After shopping for more than an hour, the imperial guards behind him were already full of things, as small as a handkerchief, as large as a basket of fruits, preserved fruits, food, etc., and even Lu Chengqi had a lot of rouge gouache on his body, and he couldn't even mention it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Wang Yanchen looked at Zhou Zhiruo, who was still in the mood, with a sad face, quietly approached Lu Chengqi, lowered his voice and said, "Master, you can spare the small one, the small purse is already empty...... When I go back, I will definitely be scolded by the mother-in-law for being this big-headed ghost. Master, let's see if you can advance two months' worth of money first, or there is really no rice to cook......"

Lu Chengqi scolded with a smile: "You slippery head, come around the bush to remind my son to pay you back." You're also cheap, before Ben Gongzi said to return the money to you, you don't want it, now it's okay, I don't have money and ask Ben Gongzi again! Okay, okay, as soon as I go back, I'll pull out the money and silver from the inner treasury and pay you back, okay? ”

Hearing this, Wang Yanchen smiled and said, "It is a small blessing to be able to serve the master!" ”

Lu Chengqi was angry and funny, and said: "Virtue! You have contributed money to increase consumption for Dashun's economy, which is a credit, why is your consciousness so low? ”

Wang Yanchen muttered in a low voice: "It's not that your consciousness is low, it's that your consciousness is too high......"

Fortunately, there were many people at this time, and Lu Chengqi couldn't hear his words.

After dusk, night began to fall, and the temple had closed all the doors except the mountain gate. At this time, there are already stall owners who use some porcelain lamp tung oil. At this time, the ceramics of the Dashun Dynasty have made great progress, all kinds of ceramics, such as Ru kiln, Ge kiln, Jun kiln, Ding kiln, official kiln and other large official kilns, as well as Raozhou kiln, Longquan kiln, Jianyang kiln, Jizhou kiln and other large kilns, and the rest of the small kilns are countless. Because porcelain lamps are more fuel-efficient than metal lamps such as copper lamps, these vendors have always used porcelain lamps. Sichuan has a porcelain lamp, and water is poured into the edge of the lamp, which can save half of the oil. The wall of this oil lamp is a hollow interlayer. There is a small hole on the side, from which water can be injected into the wall of the lamp. Clean water can reduce the temperature of the oil lamp and reduce the volatilization of oil when the oil lamp is ignited, so as to achieve the purpose of fuel saving. This oil lamp. Soon it swept the entire territory of Dashun and was loved by the poor people.

It's not that there are no candles at this time, it's just that the price of candles is too high, and ordinary people are discouraged. Candles have less black smoke than oil lamps and illuminate a wider range. It is mostly used by dignitaries.

Due to the simple production and low price, oil lamps are mostly used by ordinary people and poor students. Although the oil lamp is good, because of the quality of the oil and the material of the lamp rope of the oil lamp, the smoke produced is generally very large, which is disgusted by the nobles and the upper class.

At this moment, Dashun already has some public welfare lamps and candles used for public lighting, which are set up for the yamen who work at night and the officials who return at night. These public lighting lamps and candles should be the prototype of street lights.

The development of the lights. It enriches the nightlife of Dashun. Since Lu Chengqi ordered the whole country to cancel the curfew, and there are no curfews without special circumstances, the night of Dashun is even brighter. Nowadays, there are people who calmly eat at night and then go home, and these people indirectly make the night catering industry prosperous.

These people have a nickname, called "Proud People with Sleeves", and they even have to buy and use their face and mouthwash in the morning, let alone make a fire (cooking) at home. I don't even have a stove in an ordinary house. These residents of Chang'an City, after waking up to the clear voice of the timekeeper every day, now go to work after eating breakfast. Before eating breakfast, buy some toiletry water at the breakfast stall to wash your face.

Residents of Chang'an City after breakfast. What to do and what to do, on the way I saw a monk turning into a fate, and occasionally threw them a few pennies casually. If you have nothing else to do in the afternoon, you can ask your friends to go to the playground and watch theatrical performances. The amusement places of Dashun are called "Wazi", "Washe", "Goolan" and so on. "Wazi" and "Washe" are relatively large comprehensive theatrical performance venues in the city. Most of the performers are also some professional artists, compared to the hook bar, it is much more high-end, and the "hook bar" is only separated by railings, ropes, and curtains, and is divided into small venues.

But whether it is "Vasher" or "Hook Column", the program is extremely rich. There are all kinds of performances such as sumo wrestling, puppetry, shadow plays, miscellaneous plays, business riddles, and local talks.

The nightlife of the people of Chang'an City is extremely rich, every night, Chang'an City is brightly lit, crowds of people, red lights are hung high. From time to time, there are various voices of artists and citizens in restaurants and teahouses.

Especially the money supervisor opposite the Dashun Palace, which is the banknote printing factory in Dashun, there are hundreds of officials in it. These people are the main body of high consumption. After work, these people go down to the restaurant with their shoulders on their backs and never eat at home. After eating, you can also go to the bathhouse to take a bath, and then go shopping until it is time to go to bed.

In Chang'an City, there are also many restaurants, in addition to the most famous welcome building, there are more than 100 restaurants such as Hele Building, Hefeng Building, Zhonghe Building, Chunfeng Building, Taihe Building (, West Building, Taiping Building, Fengle Building, Xichun Building, Sanyuan Building, Wujian Building, Appreciation Building, Huayue Building, Rixin Building, etc., and the rest are called "foot shops", which are not very famous. If you are drunk, there is a carriage to take you home, which can be described as a good service. The price is also very expensive, and Lu Chengqi learned through the investigation of the Supervision Department that each person's daily consumption in the restaurant and teahouse is not less than the money. More than one-fifth of Jingzhao Mansion's commercial tax is obtained from these restaurants.

After visiting the temple fair, not to mention the imperial guards carrying many things, even Lu Chengqi and Zhou Zhiruo were also a little hungry. I found a restaurant called Hefeng Building, went up to the second floor, and ate and drank.

The imperial guards went to buy some cooked food from the stall to deal with it, after all, they were still at work, and they didn't dare to slack off too much. Don't underestimate the cooked food on these stalls, the variety is as rich as the restaurant feasts of later generations. For example, rice, pork, dried meat, Wang Louqian Yu'er, wild fox, preserved meat, chicken, goose, duck, rabbit, pork belly lung, eel, steamed buns, chicken skin, kidney kidney, chicken minced (chicken offal), etc., each only 15 yuan. There are also those who sell wine soaked in the river, Zhangju oyster meat, turtle feet, lock pipes, dense dings, crispy snails, horseshoe crab sauce, law, subfish, fish and many other seafoods, and the money is only about 50 yuan. The so-called good quality and low price, nothing more than this.

Most of these small vendors are attached to large restaurants and sell food other than soup. If you go all the way from Suzaku Gate to the sides of the royal street, there is more food sold, and there are countless foot shops. There are: rotary frying, white intestine. Dried porcelain, frozen fish head, ginger soy sauce, sliced sheep's head, spicy feet, ginger spicy radish, summer moon hemp curd chicken skin, sesame drink fine powder, vegetarian sand sugar, ice and snow cold yuanzi, crystal soap, raw flooded papaya, medicine not melon, chicken head sand sugar, beans, licorice ice and snow cold water and other food desserts. And some dried fruits such as lychee paste, mustard melon, pickles, apricot slices, plum ginger, lettuce shoots, mustard melon, fine material dumplings, fragrant candy seeds, inter-dao sugar lychee, Yue Mei, knife perilla paste, golden silk party plum, fragrant yuan, etc., are all stored in plum red boxes.

Some big foot shops will offer things like Dongyue Pantu, Pork Rind Meat, Wild Duck Meat, Crispy Crystal Belly, Pan-fried Clips, Pork Offal and so on. The aroma of food, even if the stomach is full and round, will move the index finger again.

After watching the play and tasting the fragrant tea, these arrogant people bought some cooked food on the street to fill their stomachs. From the street to the end of the street, until the third watch, I didn't go home late at night. A beautiful night has come to an end.

Lu Chengqi and Zhou Zhiruo also had a good time before slowly walking back to the palace. Since the inner library allocated the money and silver advanced by Wang Yanchen and other guards today, he has also rewarded a lot. At this moment, the lights in the Renming Hall are always bright, and Lu Chengqi secretly sighed that the life of the people of Dashun is extremely happy, and it is not much better than that of later generations.
