Chapter 499: Shopping

If it weren't for the fact that there were too many children around and couldn't do things that were inappropriate for children, I'm afraid the two of them would start to talk to me in the small garden. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Just after the lips met for a short while, Zhou Zhiruo was already red at the base of her ears. Afraid that someone would see it, he hurriedly pushed Lu Chengqi away and said, "You person! ”

Lu Chengqi quipped: "What's the matter, if you eat cleanly, you wipe your mouth and don't recognize people?" ”

Zhou Zhiruo said angrily: "Be serious! ”

Lu Chengqi laughed, grabbed her soft, and stopped talking. The two of them remained silent for a long time before Gao Hao whispered outside the small garden: "Childe, they are all asleep!" ”

Zhou Zhiruo said in a low voice: "These little ghosts have been making trouble for a day, and they are also tired. Let's go, with Mrs. Wu watching, there shouldn't be anything. ”

Wu Niangzi is the family that Lu Chengqi brought back from the broken temple outside Chang'an City, and Wu's two children were merged into the welfare home and lived with those orphans. And Old Man Wu and the Wu family naturally settled in the welfare home. I have to say that at this time, the people were simple, and Lu Chengqi did a good deed, so that the family worked hard for him and stayed in the welfare home, without even mentioning the remuneration. Of course, Zhou Zhiruo still pays them, after all, they can't let people work in vain, right?

When the two of them left the welfare home, Lu Chengqi's interest was high, and he said, "Why don't you go back later?" I want to see what fun is going on in the folk on New Year's Day. ”

No matter how mature Zhou Zhiruo is, she is just a seventeen-year-old girl. Naturally, she was happy to agree with the proposal, saying, "I know where to have fun!" After that, he took Lu Chengqi's big hand and came to the west of the city. I saw a large open space in the west of the city, and actually set up hundreds of color sheds, selling crown combs, pearl emeralds, head faces, clothes, flowers, collar wipes, boots and shoes, paper-cutting and all kinds of fun small commodities, even if it is night, it is also brightly lit, and visitors are endless.

No wonder Zhou Zhiruo is so excited, no matter what time and space, women can't resist the temptation of shopping, especially rich women. I still remember the last time I visited the temple fair, Zhou Zhiruo hung all the imperial guards on her body, like a little follower. If someone has bad intentions and carries out assassination at this moment, these imperial guards will not be able to protect them!

It's just that Zhou Zhiruo didn't take these into account, and only walked around for a quarter of an hour, and Gao Ho behind him was already full of small objects. If this momentum continues, then will it be okay?

Seeing this, Lu Chengqi hurriedly grabbed Zhou Zhiruo and said, "It's getting late, it's better to find a restaurant to eat something." You haven't even eaten dinner, you're afraid you're hungry, aren't you? ”

Zhou Zhiruo is no longer able to speak at the moment: "I'm not hungry?" ”

Lu Chengqi said angrily and funny: "But I'm hungry!" ”

Zhou Zhiruo took her eyes off those gadgets with "difficulty" and returned to her well-behaved appearance: "Are you hungry?" Look, there's a vegetarian cake seller there! I've eaten it a few times, it's so delicious, you can try it too! ”

Lu Chengqi will be suspicious, a few cakes are just some snacks, how can you resist your stomach? was half-pushed by Zhou Zhiruo and came to the stall. Lu Chengqi couldn't help but have some absurd thoughts: "These ghost stalls, if they are in the future world and the dynasty, I am afraid that they will be driven out by the city management every day, right?" Seriously, it's just that those high-ranking officials in the later generations and dynasties don't know how to manage, if a commercial street is formed like this, and ghost stalls are allowed to set up stalls, why bother to pay so many chengguan salaries? Hmph, what a system that I came up with my ass! ”

Lu Chengqi is now the ruler and has a clear view of the gains and losses of the system. Some people may say that the things on the ghost stalls are unhygienic and unclean. Lu Chengqi just wants to say that everyone has a conscience, and the small vendors who make money by getting up early and working in the dark have to be a head shorter than the quality of sitting in the office and enjoying the air-conditioned soft stool? Lu Chengqi believes that most of these small vendors are good citizens who want to make their lives better. If the imperial court is willing to give them a place to gather and set up stalls to attract more customers, why not? No, small vendors will use expired food, poisonous and unclean food to harm people. It's a question of repeat customers, and if he does, how many customers will he lose? Small vendors also have the wisdom of small vendors, and they will not do such a thing that encourages seedlings.

Seeing Lu Chengqi looking at this small vendor blankly, Zhou Zhiruo pushed him with his elbow, and Lu Chengqi came back to his senses: "Twenty vegetarian cakes!" ”

The vendor was a young man in his twenties, and the one who lit the fire at the bottom should be his Hun family, who was born round and jade. At this time, all the women showed up to do business. As long as they can help the family, they are willing to work, which is very different from the Ming and Qing dynasties in the official history.

This vegetarian cake is a crispy and rich round cake baked yellow or light yellow, divided into three layers: puff pastry, puff pastry, and invaginal, and the inner line is made of ghee, walnut kernels, preserved fruits, refined salt, etc. After baking, the aroma is attractive, only a penny.

In addition to vegetarian cakes, there are also fruit cakes. It is a flatbread made of a cypress, a persimmon, and an orange, and it is broken in the middle, and everyone eats it, and the Han people take it as a good omen for a year-old at this time. In addition to eating bread, the common people will also decoction soup for drinking, and burn atractylodes, believing that this can ward off the gas of epidemics. Of course, on the first day of the new year, the people will get up early to freshen up, dress up, put on new clothes, visit relatives and friends, give blessings, and drink and talk happily. The imperial court also approved that during the three days, you can participate in the game of Guan Bao - that is, a game with a slightly gambling nature, Guan Bao can gamble very large, and the house, the singer, and the chariot and horse can all become a blockage. Habitual habits, don't laugh at each other. Of course, the court will also take care of the poor: the rent of the public rent will be waived for one month. Previously, it was free for three days, because at this time, the public rental housing was five cents a day, calculated on a daily basis. Only Lu Chengqi is so generous, and with a wave of his hand, he is exempted from rent for January.

At night, outside the dance hall and song hall, cars and horses gallop, so lively. Lu Chengqi really wanted to see it, but unfortunately it was inconvenient to go to those "dirty" places with Zhou Zhiruo. At that time, the customs were open, and the viewing of the dance was just elegant. It's just a talented person with a career in office, so don't be caught.

After paying for the cake, Lu Chengqi carefully ate a bite of this vegetarian cake, and the aroma was full of heart, and he actually felt like eating Mid-Autumn Festival moon cakes. Fragrant and crispy vegetarian cakes, Lu Chengqi actually ate several in one go. I never thought that the vegetarian cake was a cake, it was too dry, and Lu Chengqi choked a little. Frightened, Gao Ho had no owner, ran to a wine seller, made a pot of wine, and asked Lu Chengqi to drink it and smooth his throat.

Lu Chengqi drank it all, and he didn't care about the degree. With his throat smoothed, Lu Chengqi began to taste this wine carefully, only to feel that his mouth was full of the smell of Chinese medicine, as if he had drunk it before, and couldn't help frowning and asked, "What kind of wine is this?" ”

Gao Hao hurriedly said: "Childe, this is Tusu wine." ”

Lu Chengqi also knew that Tu Su wine had some effects, and said to himself: "It turned out to be Tu Su wine ......" (to be continued.) )
