Chapter 458: Night Market

The Song Dynasty was different from the Tang Dynasty, the boundaries of the fang market in Bianliang City were abolished, there was no curfew, and the business hours of merchants were not limited by time and place, even on rainy days, thousands of homes were brightly lit. When you leave the Pig Killing Alley, you can see food stalls selling rice, boiling broth, and dry goods scattered on the roadside, as well as hawkers carrying baskets selling minced chicken with kidney kidneys, and fine powder with hemp curd.

Killing Pig Lane is not as good as the state bridge, only see two jugglers, the state bridge there is a stall selling fine painting silk fans, gold skirts, vest towels, and toys at four o'clock at night, attracting a large number of beauties to go shopping, and at the same time attracting a large number of free boys and idlers to watch the excitement. Mi Youren lives in East Yulin Lane, seems to be familiar with this place, and takes Yang Zhi through the alley to a small shop in the middle of nowhere, where there are many customers, and there are five or six horse-drawn carriages parked in the open space outside the store, and a signboard at the door, Fairy Noodle Restaurant.

Yang Zhi actually knew this place, after all, it was a storefront in front of his house, but he really hadn't been to this noodle restaurant, and the fairy noodle restaurant was said to have only three kinds of meat inside, donkey meat, beef, sika venison, and the meat of the three livestock was hung on the board. Donkey meat is fragrant, commonly known as dragon meat; the Great Song Dynasty does not allow cattle to be killed, but the fairy noodle restaurant has never lacked beef, which can make people feast every day; sika deer is even more game, which is the most tender meat among all the deer elk.

Yang Zhi didn't have money when he wanted to eat, but later the conditions improved, and he rarely walked here, and if he wanted to eat noodles, he also went to Ji Wuliu's noodle restaurant. There is a shopkeeper and two guys in the store, and the clothes are no different from those in ordinary stores, but the customers who eat noodles here are completely different from other small noodle restaurants, some of them walk at night in brocade clothes, and some of them wear ordinary clothes but have a superhuman momentum; Yang Zhi looked at the price on the wall, a bowl of noodles and eight coins of silver.

Mi Youren directly ordered three bowls of beef noodles, and asked for a pot of wine, a plate of peanuts, a plate of beef offal, a plate of donkey meat in sauce, and a plate of beef tongue. Yang Zhi felt a little rare, what kind of condiment is this, it can actually be fresh; Yang Zhi stood still in front of the counter, and suddenly saw the poppy seeds in the bamboo basket, and immediately understood that it was poppy water.

The poppy was introduced into China as early as the Six Dynasties, and there is planting, purely for ornamentation, the poppy is a precious and rare flower and famous tree, Li Taibai poem said: "In the past, it was a hibiscus flower, and now it is a broken intestine grass." How long can you get good things for others? ”

Traditional Chinese medicine in the Song Dynasty had already discovered the medicinal effects of opium poppy, which was regarded as a good medicine for dysentery and other diseases, and even as a good medicine for nourishment, but Yang Zhi understood that this thing would be addictive, and it was probably the reason for the good business of the fairy noodle restaurant. However, Yang Zhi didn't touch this mold, but just said to the shopkeeper: "We don't want that seasoning in our noodles." ”

The shopkeeper looked at Yang Zhi and nodded with surprise, but Yang Zhi saw a look of excitement in that surprised look, like a master duel, seeing an opponent of equal strength; Yang Zhi was a little stunned, but he would never say more here, just stared at the actions of the shopkeeper and the guy, and did not let the poppy water pour into his bowl. The effect is obvious, Yang Zhi and Liu Qi still feel the deliciousness of the beef noodles, and Mi Youren smacked his mouth twice, as if he felt that the taste was wrong.

As soon as the noodles were finished, Yang Zhi immediately paid the bill, packed the wine and food, and led the two to the Bianhe River not far away; Mi Youren saw Yang Zhi sitting down next to a stone pier, putting the wine and food on the table, and said with a smile: "Big brother, do you still have this hobby?"

Yang Zhi motioned for the two to sit down and said, "It's not that I have this hobby, but that there is a problem with the noodles in this noodle restaurant, and I don't know if poppy water is added to these drinks and dishes as a seasoning." Although food with poppy water is delicious and pleasant, if you eat it for a long time, you will become addicted and have side effects, and you will feel sad all over your body if you don't eat it for a day. ”

Mi Youren was stunned for a while, and after a while he said: "Big brother, what you said is really a bit reasonable, Kou Zongzao of Deshengqiao and my father are friends, he likes to use poppy water and honey as a prescription for treating dysentery, many patients have a long treatment cycle, there is this symptom you said, the medicine stops feeling uncomfortable, and I always feel that there is a sequelae, Kou's pharmacy has smashed it several times for this matter, I will go and talk to him tomorrow." ”

Yang Zhiwang looked at Mi Youren and asked, "Do you dare to go to Suzhou and Hangzhou now?"

Suzhou and Hangzhou, is there a big business there, but Mi Youren is free and easy by nature, and said indifferently: "What is there to dare to do, Suzhou has been recovered by the official army, and now the front is deadlocked in Hangzhou." ”

Yang Zhi said in a low voice: "Antiques in troubled times are not valuable, you go over there now, don't take risks, let Uncle Liu write you a letter, and collect calligraphy and painting antiques from the hands of the Western Army, those good things can't be wasted." ”

Liu Qi and Mi Youren understood as soon as they heard it, this time they went to Jiangnan, I was afraid that people like Liu Qi would not be ruthless to the rebels and ordinary people, most of the generals dispatched by Tong Guan were generals and reckless men who did not know a few big characters, even if they seized antiques from the rebels, it was impossible to know anything, not to mention calligraphy and painting. Liu Qi smiled and said: "Isn't it just to pick up leaks, I have nothing to do in Bianliang anyway, I'll go with Lao Qi." ”

When Liu Qi arrived in Bianliang, he specifically inquired about Mi Youren, and knew that his seventh brother had a notoriety, he was a prodigy in the imitation painting circle, and his vision was not ordinary and vicious, and the imitation was something that those old gentlemen in the painting and calligraphy academy couldn't see; Mi Youren smiled and said: "Big brother, this is not a business, even if we pick up good things, we can't give them to you, you say, what do you want us to bring for you from Jiangnan?"

"You don't have to help me bring things, help me buy a house in Hangzhou and buy 50 acres of tea forest. Yang Zhi said very simply, if history does not change because of his own crossing, the final place of the Southern Song Dynasty must be Hangzhou, now is the end of the sword soldiers, Hangzhou land price is the lowest, if it is not for fear of attracting the attention of others, Yang Zhi is eager to buy hundreds of acres of mountains and forests. Mi Youren nodded and said, "Big brother, it's better to do this, the three of us will buy three courtyards connected together in the city, and another 150 acres of tea forests connected together, and we will take care of anything in the future." ”

Liu Qi has no opinion, he is young and old at home, and it is not a bad thing to buy an industry in Jiangnan; Liu Qi directly stopped Yang Zhi's hand in taking out the silver ticket and said: "I can't buy iron now, the 1,000 taels of silver will be used in Hangzhou, and it will not be enough to get it with you when I come back."
