The Song people have always attached great importance to festivals.

Especially since the official family of Qiande issued an edict in the third year of Qiande to "order the night market in the capital to be banned from the three drums" to abolish the curfew in Bianliang City, the changes in Bianliang City can be said to be day and night.

Southern food, noodle shops, cake shops, tea, Sichuan rice, and wine shops have sprung up, and there is an endless stream of scholars coming and going in Jiangnan and Sichuan.

Even if the forbidden army entered the city and the king of Jin became crazy a few years ago, it was just a few more conversations for the Bianliang people.

Even because the official family issued an edict, saying that although the king of Jin was crazy, he was still a brother, so he built a courtyard in the southeast of the inner palace for the king of Jin to live.

After all, seriously speaking, since the destruction of the former Tang Dynasty, the Liang, Jin, Han and Zhou dynasties all used Kaifeng as Kyoto.

In the past few decades, the nobles in the palace in the center of Bianliang City have changed like marquees, and it is not uncommon for fathers, sons, brothers, uncles and nephews to kill each other.

For the old people in Bianliang, whether it is the stable and prosperous life in the past ten years, or the harmony and beauty of the official court, it is a rare thing and is inevitably praised.

Therefore, even if the well-known official army is still at war with the Southern Tang Dynasty, it still does not damage the slightest bit of the people of Bianliang to celebrate the festival, even including the Zhao Song official family himself.

After surviving the big court meeting on New Year's Day and the banquet envoy the next day, Zhao Kuangyin chose to go out of the palace to breathe.

Roll call for Zhao Pu to accompany him, and the two ordered five or six personal guards at dusk and went out of the palace from Xihuamen.

Out of the west gate, you can see at a glance the Jin Palace's northwest of the palace, the once busy palace is now a state of neglect, in the case of the backbone Zhao Guangyi is controlled, the speed of the collapse of the Jin King's henchmen is beyond everyone's expectations.

Now most of the slaves in the house have been dispersed, and this mansion is only used as the mansion of Zhao Guangyi's wife and concubines.

Glancing at Yaoyao, the two of them chose to walk along the palace city to the south, but they could see Junyi Bridge Street in the distance in five or six hundred steps.

"Zhangjia Hotel or Wanglou Cave Plum Buns? Or look at the Cao Po meatloaf, or Li Sifen tea? ”

It is not the first time that Weifu travels, Zhao Pu is also quite familiar with Bianliang, and directly reported a long list of store names, all of which are more famous near Junyi Bridge Royal Street.

Throwing himself into the market made Zhao Kuangyin feel a lot happier, laughed and shook his head:

"Zhao Gong, this street is full of people, and I'm afraid that Zhang's hotel is already full."

"We look at the past as a family, and sit wherever there is leisure."

What Zhao Kuangyin said was true, just when the two of them were talking, they had already arrived at Junyi Bridge Street.

In front of the shops, there are badgers, foxes, rabbits, deer, and domesticated geese, ducks, chickens, and sheep.

In addition, there are many stalls selling all kinds of buns on the street, chicken skin, waist and kidney, chicken offal, belly and lungs, etc. as fillings, and there are guys shouting that each is only fifteen yuan.

Further inside, there are fried sheep, white intestines, pork offal soup, etc., Zhao Kuangyin even saw a shop set up a stall on the spot to sell:

"Longxuqiao's brains are nineteen dollars a catty."

Just hearing the name made Zhao Kuangyin very interested, but he was immediately stopped by Zhao Pu next to him:

"There are still three more chews on these miscellaneous foods, and if you are not full of food, you can just come out and eat some more to fill your stomach."

After thinking about it, Zhao Kuangyin nodded in agreement, and took a few guards to follow the big shops on the street and ask one by one.

But today is only the third day of the first lunar month, those famous restaurants are either too prosperous in business and have already been full, or they are not sitting much, only scattered seats and no big tables, until Li Sifen Tea just happened to have a table of guests got up and left the vacant place, just enough to sit down the main minister, personal guards and other seven people.

This Li Sifen tea is quite large, the east and west corridors of the hall and courtyard, the price is completely different, Zhao Kuangyin went out of the palace and walked for a long time to find a seat, and he was hungry and too lazy to care a lot, so he sat directly on the big table in the courtyard.

Seeing the guests sit down, a guy came over with a paper flower and wiped the chopsticks in turn, then wrapped his head, put it in front of everyone and asked:

"There is soup, rice, kidneys, meat and vegetables in the store, what do customers eat?"

Zhao Kuangyin was suddenly a little curious:

"This tea shop is quite big, how can there be only these dishes?"

Zhao Pu laughed, and the guy over there also laughed:

"This guest officer should be here for the first time, and I said that there is more soup in the store, but there is not only one soup."

"Four soft soups, chalcedony soups, mixed color soups, stone belly soups, miscellaneous spicy soups, colorful fish soups, large and small chicken soups, meat powder soups, mixed vegetable and fruit soups are all soups, and such as fish soup and chicken soup according to the different categories used, can also be divided into fine and re-divided."

Zhao Kuangyin realized that it was a joke, and he didn't care about it at the moment, but just invited Zhao Pu to eat.

And just when Zhao Pu whispered to the guy, a person with a paper flower in his heart and ear came over and spread his hands and said:

"The official burns two pillars of prayer incense, right?"

Seeing that Zhao Kuangyin looked like he didn't know why, the cheeky hairpin with a bare chest and a hairpin smiled and said:

"The official is so old, I want to come to both parents are mourned, and the contemptible people have some friendship with the master Zen master of the Great Xiangguo Temple, and the official gives me a few pieces of money, so the Great Xiangguo Temple can add a few pillars of blessing incense, isn't it beautiful?"

At this time, Zhao Kuangyin could not understand what was going on.

Several guards were furious, and they were about to get up and beat such a ghostly person half to death, but they were pressed by Zhao Kuangyin with a wave of his hand, but they were a little curious:

"Are you really doing an errand for Xiangguo Temple?"

It's just that before this splash could answer, someone over there scolded:

"Wang Qiao'er, you son of a, are you earning these shameless money to treat your soft and collapsed prison roots?"

This puffy was immediately furious:

"Niu Arrow! You depraved beast, you want to come and beg for food with Naitagong? ”

A sturdy man at the table next to him stood up, clenched his fists and didn't talk nonsense:

"Go out if you have the courage, and let me see where your foundation is."

Wang Qiao's face was blue and white for a while, and finally he hid his face and left, and Niu Aluo sat down and warned Zhao Kuangyin by the way:

"This official, if you want to pray for blessings, you can go to Xiangguo Temple by yourself, don't believe in such a splash of skin stained with flowers and willows."

"Is this splash really doing a bad job for Xiangguo Temple?" Zhao Kuangyin was only curious about this.

Niu Aluo nodded in confirmation, but he didn't want to talk about it, Zhao Kuangyin also understood, so he immediately asked:

"Listening to a good Han accent, it's not like a Kaifeng person."

The tables on both sides have not been served yet, and Niu Aroxu over there is looking at Zhao Kuangyin's good face, so he also said more:

"My ancestral home is Zhuozhou, and the officials in Zhuozhou know that General Zhang Fei of the former Han Dynasty is the same villager as me."

Zhao Kuangyin nodded silently, not only did he know that he had even been scolded by this Zhang Fei three months ago.

As for why Niu Aluo is here, it couldn't be simpler, and the word troubled times was exhausted, so he also asked:

"That good man should want to go home."

Niu Aluo asked rhetorically:

"Who doesn't want to go home?"

Zhao Kuangyin was silent.

Then the meals on both sides were served in turn, and he stopped talking, but when he left, Zhao Kuangyin said that he was on duty in the palace, and if Niu Aluo had any trouble, he could go to Xihuamen to find the forbidden army and say that he was looking for Zhao Zeping, which made Zhao Pu laugh.

After eating, the group also went to see the mountain shed opposite Xuande Building, and saw the iron sword, spitting five-color fire, spinning mud pills, dramatist, and playing miscellaneous clothes in the middle of the night.

After finally returning to the palace, Zhao Kuang pulled Zhao Pu and explained:

"Tomorrow's light curtain, Qing should come early."
