206 [Tour Chang'an]

When you come to Chang'an City, if you don't appreciate the original scenery of Chang'an, it will really be in vain.

The city of Chang'an is divided into more than 100 residential areas by 38 vertical streets, each of which is surrounded by a square wall and a square gate, just like a modern large residential area.

Walking on the main street, you can see the loess compacted road under your feet, the elm and locust trees on both sides of the road in the shade, and there are deep drainage ditches on both sides of the road, and outside the ditch are the walls of each square.

Of course, unlike the current community full of shops, shops are not allowed to open on the street, and those who can open doors on the wall of the square are the homes of princes and nobles and officials above the third grade, and are guarded by Jiashihao slaves.

If you want to go shopping, you have to go to the East and West Markets mentioned in Mulan's words, which are the two most prosperous business districts in Chang'an City.

Moreover, the store is not open all day, and if you go early, you can only do it and watch, and every day at noon, the two cities beat the drum 300 times, and each store starts to open.

Seven minutes before sunset, the gong is struck 300 times, the shop is closed, the customers go home, and the night market is not allowed to open all night.

When you come here, you can see the prosperity of Datang.

There are satin coat shops, jewelry shops, and rouge pollen shops that ladies like to visit; The gentlemen went straight to the horse shop, the knife and gun store, and the saddle bridle shop; Talents can go to the Tomb Book Store.

The farmer brought fruits, vegetables, rice and wheat into the market to sell, and then bought the iron hoe and pottery bowl; The merchant took the money ticket to the counter to deposit and withdraw......

I like to see the liveliness, there are acrobatic pianos on the street, selling fortune tellers and divination, walking thirsty and hungry, there are restaurants, restaurants, fruit shops, pancake dumpling shops and other foodie places.

If you don't want to eat out, you can go to the fish shop butcher shop to buy raw materials and cook your own home, there is a medicine store when you are sick, and there is a reverse travel Qiu She for accommodation at night, and there is a coffin shop when you can't sleep.

In short, clothing, food, housing, transportation, birth, old age, sickness and death, everything that mortals can use, there is everything here.

Moreover, the modern use of the word "thing" to refer to everything in the world is likely to refer to the east and west markets of Tang Chang'an, and the two cities include all things, so everything you buy is to buy things.

Traveling through the scenery of Chang'an, it can be regarded as a long insight, and the modern antique cottage cannot be compared with others. The only pity is that it was a man who accompanied him shopping, not a beauty.

"Let's go, let's go to the restaurant for some food."

Yuan Pengfei walked towards a restaurant, and there was no menu in the restaurant, but a water sign was hung on the counter to indicate today's special offer.

Fortunately, his brain was not yet funny, so he put the score of the heroes of Liangshan and shouted: "Xiao Er, five catties of beef, ten bowls of good wine." ”

If you really dare to do that, you have to let the store type out.

Because Tang Law "The Lord commits suicide against horses and cattle, and he will be imprisoned for one year".

The state prohibits the killing of these two large livestock, and of course prohibits the eating of beef. If you really want to serve five catties of beef, you can't run away from hard labor for a year.

Of course, there are policies and countermeasures, Cheng Sanaxe, Cheng Guogong's cattle are always accidentally killed, so naturally there is beef to eat.

If you want to ask why, Tang Law clearly stipulates that killing one's own cattle and horses for one year will be killed by mistake, and he will not sit. How to prove that it is manslaughter, not intentional homicide, it depends on whether your emotional intelligence is online or not.

If you put a plate of boiled beef and give it to a neighbor, it must be a mistake...

So he doesn't think about beef here for the time being, but the most popular mutton in the Tang Dynasty.

炙 (zhì) mutton, that is, roast mutton. Served with a jar of sake, it's like a summer kebab with beer.

Mutton noodles and hu cakes, he didn't choose either. In fact, the Hu cake is directly broken and boiled with mutton soup, which is the most famous mutton steamed bun.

Yuan Pengfei and his little brother were chatting while drinking sake, and Xiao Er brought out a plate of white and thin things.

He fixed his eyes and saw that most of the food on the plate was filamentous, and some were small flakes. The flakes are translucent white, very light and delicate, and there are tender green onions on the edge of the plate. There are also seasonings such as mustard, bean drum, Xiao mud, orange shreds, etc.

Take the chopsticks and pick up the white silk, and put the green onion mustard into your mouth to taste, it is smooth and cool, fresh and greasy with sweetness.

This kind of food, which he had never eaten before, that is, he had seen it on TV, was sashimi with a price tag that was to death expensive.

"Brother Yuan, this cut 鲙 (kuài) is well done, the fish is fresh enough!" Li Feiying said with a smile.

Yuan Pengfei nodded and gave a good evaluation. Sashimi was very common in the recipes of the Tang Dynasty.

The aristocratic men of the Tang Dynasty generally looked down on cooking, but they felt that it was fashionable to perform the art of cutting fish in front of others.

As for the Japanese-style sashimi hyped up by the grandchildren, it is not qualified to show off in front of the Tang Dynasty people at all.

There was a guest at the next table, chewing on the silk, and innocently asked, "What kind of fish is this?"

When they heard this, they all glanced at him and ignored him.

Yuan Pengfei didn't taste it, his heart was curious, and he asked inquiringly: "Feiying, what kind of fish is this?" ”

"Brother Yuan, this is the fish I just caught today, and I am the same family." Li Feiying raised her eyebrows and said vaguely.

There are some things that can't be said explicitly, plum fish, carp.

You must know that this is in the Li Tang Dynasty, the government has ordered several times to ban the eating of fish with the surname of the country, of course, most of the people still catch it according to the food, but it is better to give the government some face, don't mention it in public.

Isn't it a waste of time to go home and rest?

On the west side of the East Market, next to it is Pingkangfang, which is the most famous red-light district in Chang'an City, where the legendary top flowers live.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was no rule that officials were not allowed to engage in prostitution, and for scholars who came to take the imperial examination, visiting confidants in Pingkangfang was a semi-official activity. If you don't go, it's not called self-cleansing, it's called a local village. (╥_╥) (Uh-huh)

Feel the ancient entertainment venues, the red candles of the Qinlou Chu Pavilion are shining, singing and dancing, entering and exiting pairs, and singing in a low voice......

Specifically, there are several orchids playing instruments such as pipa and zither, and a beautiful Persian dancer dancing belly dance.

The dance is simply indescribable, suddenly twisting the waist like a snake, suddenly swinging the chest span exaggeratedly, in the exotic music, the hot dance posture ignites the unrestrained passion.

The little brothers all looked up.

Halfway through the wine, Li Feiying hugged Hu Ji and wanted to stop talking: "Brother Yuan, I ......"

Yuan Pengfei smiled knowingly, "Go ahead and experience the exotic customs." ”

Man, who doesn't know anyone about this!

However, it is not without benefit that Li Feiying is gone. The Persian dancer danced more openly, and surrounded him like a beautiful snake entangled around him.

He's almost drunk, and he's going to open the meat today.

And this is also part of appreciating the Tang Dynasty style! It has to be experienced.
