In his previous life, Xu Yang once had a brother who was in Huainan, and his father opened a mutton noodle soup restaurant in the local area, selling the world-famous Huainan mutton soup.

Huainan mutton soup, the soup is spicy, the meat is delicate, the top lamb is the raw material, supplemented by precious, Huainan special spices, the fragrance is overflowing when the pot is opened, and the tongue of the food is fragrant. The mutton soup is also based on soup, which is mellow and delicious. It is a double unique in Huainan with beef soup.

The taste of mutton is very good, it is a kind of food that is warm in winter and cool in summer, recently the Tang Dynasty got a lot of lambs from the Western Turks, I heard that the people over there like to exchange livestock for the glass containers and tea made by the Tang people, so even once the livestock of the Tang Dynasty was a little excessive.

Xujiazhuang has recently also brought in a batch of quite good tender lambs, which were originally intended to be free-range and left for the owner to eat.

Xu Yang chose a fat tender sheep and ordered someone to kill it, so he used it for today's dinner.

The two souls of mutton soup, one is sheep, and the other is spices and spicy, and mutton soup without spicy is not worthy of the authentic title at all.

Xujiazhuang's peppers have been harvested for two seasons, and this thing grows quickly, as long as the water and soil are abundant, they will grow like weeds, which is not only enough for Xuyang's family to eat, but also for some relatives and friends.

Cut the mutton into pieces, cut the shallots into shreds, add lard and fry until slightly yellow, add mutton, minced garlic, chili powder, fennel seeds, and then order a large person to burn a small half column of incense, and then boil with water over medium heat. Add the noodles and bring to a boil. It doesn't take long. After the water is boiled, add salt, and a large pot of mutton soup is ready.

The aroma of the boiling pot is overflowing, and the spicy flavor masks the smell of the mutton, enhancing the delicious taste and making people salivate.

Sure enough, when the whole family sat down and Xu Yang ordered someone to bring the mutton soup up, everyone smelled the fragrance. The little disciple named Dao Xin brought by Sun Simiao was already swallowing his saliva violently.

The food of later generations is simply unimaginable food in this era, in the era when people's living standards are still generally eating pot helmets, and occasionally eating one or two dry rice, food only exists in the dignitaries, and those ordinary people may be worried about eating enough all their lives, let alone any food.

Sure enough, this meal was everyone's appetite, and Sun Simiao ate people in their fifties. Eating the spicy and thick mutton soup, I couldn't stop sucking my mouth, like a child. It's not inhibitive at all.

Under the influence of Sun Simiao, the Liu family ate very casually, and did not treat Lao Sun as an outsider at all.

The meal was finished in such a harmonious atmosphere, under the archway of Xujiazhuang, Sun Simiao took the white silk and inserted it into his mouth, feeling that his mouth was still a little numb and said: "Okay, just send it here, this dinner almost let the old man eat all his tongue, the ghost valley is worthy of being the ghost valley, although there is no brocade clothes and jade food, just use some rough farm materials, you can make such a delicious taste in the world, the old man can be regarded as a long insight today." ”

Xu Yang also smiled slightly, "It is also a blessing for a kid to be praised by your old age, and you can come to Xujiazhuang to dine at any time in the future." ”

When Sun Simiao heard this, he raised his eyebrows, and said a little jokingly: "Don't make promises lightly, be careful that the old man will come to your house every day in the future, and you don't cry when you are poor." ”

Xu Yang laughed when he heard this, "If you can come every day, the kid will put up a signboard in Xujiazhuang, 'Datang Doctor Saint Sun Daochang's designated dining place' and then open hundreds and eighty restaurants in Xujiazhuang, presumably the business must be excellent." ”

"Ha, you kid is really shrewd~!" Sun Simiao laughed and snorted, but with a smile and a smile, his face gradually became stern, his expression was solemn, and he said in a serious tone: "The wind is strong, the wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it, your current position has been vigilant by His Majesty, the old man advises you, stay away from the court, and maintain your identity as a disciple of the Guigu, you don't need to be friendly with everyone in the court, you only need to interact with those few generals and prime ministers of the current dynasty, they are all people who can save you with their lives, you take care of yourself." ”

Sun Simiao held Xu Yang's hand with his somewhat old hand, with love in his eyes, as if he was looking at a very dear junior.

"Thank you for the teachings of Daoist Sun, the kid is taught, the kid is very good, and the kid should keep it in mind............

The next day, another sensational event occurred in Chang'an, and the "Datang News" openly announced that Guigu Xuyang would sell the shares of Chang'an's cement factory, glass factory and brick factory this time, and formally set up the Chang'an Merchants Association, under the auspices of Gewuyuan, to standardize the prices of cement, glass, and masonry in the entire Datang.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves, and the merchants of Datang are the least ignorant group of people in the world, their noses are more sensitive than sharks, and their pursuit of capital is thousands of times higher than the pursuit of blood.

In the past two years, the status of merchants in the Tang Dynasty has surged, before, merchants earned a lot of silver, bought a silk satin, but they couldn't wear it on the street at all, once they were denounced on the street, they were all dragged to the yamen to be boarded, because it was called over, so they could only be worn at home, and they showed off and enjoyed themselves. But now, it is your freedom to wear what merchants wear to the streets, and one by one they even compete to see who wears more expensive.

In the past, the merchants of Chang'an only dared to do business in the eastern and western cities, and they did not dare to set up stalls on the main roads of Chang'an.

But now, the streets of Zhuque Street are full of shops on both sides, and they are all shops with facades, rice shops, vinegar shops, iron shops, tea shops, wine shops, glass shops, it can be said that as long as you can think of it, there is nothing that you can't buy in this Chang'an City, one day from morning to night, Zhuque Street is lively, and the voices are boiling, as if you can overturn the entire Chang'an City.

At night, the transactions in Chang'an City show their surging vitality, restaurants and teahouses are full of people, and there are rangers on the streets who buy swords and swords in various ironware shops.

There are two huge red lanterns hanging in front of each shop, which can illuminate their own shops, and at night, even the shops that are ten miles across are like a fire dragon, hovering in Chang'an City, you know, before the curfew is abolished, the streets of Chang'an at night are as clear as ghosts, and there are only one or two Jinwu patrolling Chang'an.

All of these are to spread such a signal to people again, Datang has ushered in an era of businessmen, last year's treasury taxes, businessmen paid an unprecedented amount of taxes reached three times that of farmers, you know, in the past, Datang's taxes mainly relied on the taxes paid by farmers.

The chests of the businessmen were raised, and in the face of the improvement of their social status, they had a very strong desire to gain the right to speak in politics, but they could not form an effective organization, and the businessmen who could not unite were just a plate of scattered sand, so the businessmen had to make money first, and the matter of seeking the right to speak would be discussed later.

Xu Yang's decision this time is very attractive, at least for those powerful businessmen have a huge attraction, overseas exploration is too powerful now, Li Er began to slowly adjust the policy to only allow the official to exploit those island resources overseas, and private people are not, which directly cut off the overseas smuggling road that many businessmen rely on for survival.

The Silk Road business is now becoming more and more popular, tea, porcelain, glass products, such small things can be exchanged for the same weight of gold when they are brought back, but now the Silk Road is also mostly monopolized, and the rest of the merchants have no room to meddle.

Now the only place that can develop is Lingnan, but it is located in a remote area and the roads are impassable, which is also a great obstacle to the businessmen.

Now Xu Yang suddenly proposed to share such a lucrative industry of Datang with the world's businessmen, which flattered the businessmen for a while, but no one knew Xu Yang's plan......

When the capital grows to a certain extent, the imperial power will be compromised, which is called in history: constitutional monarchy...... (To be continued......)
