When he woke up the next morning, Lu Xihua touched his bald head, this arhat didn't know what he touched when he became a cultivator, his hair never grew again, he was so smooth, did he really want to be a monk?

The big cat didn't come back, and Lu Xihua didn't care about it, and packed up more than a dozen animal skins, including tiger skins, leopard skins, and bear skins of different sizes, all of which were big cats who were idle and hunted in the mountains. The meat naturally entered the stomachs of Lu Xihua and the big cat, and the bones and internal organs were all put into the medicinal herbs, and the remaining fur was only enough for a cart after four months.

Lu Xihua pushed the cart and walked down the mountain. The mountains are all dirt roads, and there are more grass, tree roots, stones and rubble mixed in them, which is very difficult to walk, Lu Xihua thought about coming back and taking the time to repair the road down the mountain, anyway, his own cultivation has no effect, it is better to do something practical for the local people.

Lu Xihua pushed the cart down the mountain, arrived at the official road, and followed the flow of people. The official road is wide and uniform, and the people and vehicles go their own way, leaving people and horses in the middle to rush for something.

Lu Xihua has big steps and fast speed, the sun has just risen at eight or nine o'clock and he has arrived at the town under the mountain, according to his footsteps, he can enter Lin'an before noon.

In the town, there are perennial here to buy mountain medicinal materials and fur merchants, Lu Xihua just pick up the familiar warehouse and go, the sound carved out, there are 860 copper coins in his hand (equivalent to 400,000 Huaxia coins), leave the car in the warehouse, and say that he will come back in two days and then take it. Lu Xihua let go of his steps and strode towards Lin'an City.

Lu Xihua originally thought that Lin'an was the city of Hangzhou, only to know that it was not when he entered the city, but a small city in the south of Hangzhou, and he wanted to come to Jingkang, and Song Gaozong had not come to Lin'an, so he did not have the name of accompanying the capital, although it is a small city now, but it can also see the prosperity of the Song Dynasty.

Lu Xihua entered from the south gate, and was called by the gatekeeper to ask for a degree, Lu Xihua explained that he was not a monk, but was born without hair, and was very ridiculed for a few words, and was forced to pay the entry fee of 5 Wen.

Following the customs of the villagers, the gatekeepers did not make it difficult, Lu Xihua should abide by the laws of the country, paid a lot of money, and followed the flow of people into the county seat of Lin'an.

On the main street, pedestrians are constantly coming and going, and the imperial court allows vendors to set up stalls on the street, and they do not know how to solve the problem of encroaching on the street and occupying the road. Lu Xihua stood at the corner of the street and observed for a long time before finding that there were thin benchmarks at the end of each main street, and there were four at the end of the street on both sides of the street, called table wood, and the vendors served tea and water, set tables to sell food, and shouted to attract customers did not exceed the scope of this table wood. Although Lin'an County is a small city, the streets are still spacious, the middle main road can be parallel to three carriages, upstairs and downstairs flags fluttering, a good prosperity.

Lu Xihua walked around several streets, and found that some poor people at home could not afford to rent and buy street shops, so they opened a window on the wall of their own yard, and also did some small business of food and cloth.

It was just noon, Lu Xihua was a little hungry, wanted to find some food to fill his stomach, asked a few restaurants but there was no food, and then remembered that the people of the Song Dynasty only ate two meals a day, and the officials only ate three meals. Those officials who went to the court had to go to the court at three o'clock in the morning every day, and until eight o'clock in the morning, they still burned firewood at this time, and the problem of starting a fire in the kitchen was an important task, and it was impossible to make a fire just for the sake of being a person's breakfast.

This reminded Lu Xihua of Yang Paifeng in Tianbo Mansion, although he is a character in a novel, but the position of the fire girl is there, don't look at the name is not good, but she is really the head of the kitchen. Since the fire cannot be lit alone at home, the official's breakfast problem can only be on the road.

Some officials got up late, afraid of delaying the court, so they bought it early and turned over on the horse, grabbed the fried cake fritters in one hand and sent them to their mouths, and grabbed the reins in the other hand to rush forward, which can be described as a scene in Bianliang.

Vendors who rush to the morning market must also eat breakfast before dawn. The morning market in the Song Dynasty, like the early dynasty, also started in the early morning, and the merchants who entered the market to sell fish, vegetables, grain and oil went late, and their stalls would be occupied by others. In the Song Dynasty, commerce was prosperous, and the morning market often lasted until noon, and if you didn't make up for your stomach before starting, you would definitely not be able to stand it.

Lu Xihua chatted with the second brother in the store for a while without eating, these are all told to Lu Xihua by the second brother in the shop, and of course, Lu Xihua's reward. The second brother of this shop has seen a lot of people coming and going from the north to the south every day, and there are many people who inquire about the news here, and what Lu Xihua asked is not a confidential matter, but a matter of setting up a stall to do business, and the little second brother picked up some of what he saw and listened to and told Lu Xihua to listen, and he got the fifty wen properly.

Since there is no formal lunch, you can only eat a roadside snack. Lu Xihua walked along the street and found that not all the people got up early. For example, some women in the market, without the control of their in-laws, get up only when the sun is drying their buttocks, and slowly comb their hair, wash their faces, and dress up.

How do you say that Lu Xihua knows that the first floor of the shop on the street is for trading, and there are many people living on the second floor, and the status of men and women in the Great Song Dynasty is equal, and many women do not shy away from suspicion, so they comb their hair in front of the window on the street and make yellow in the mirror. Lu Xihua stood across the street and saw it clearly, vaguely as if he remembered that a bamboo pole should fall at this moment, and when he looked up, he saw a little lady holding a silk and smiling.

But it was the Water Margin, and Lu Xihua was not a big official of Ximen, so I saw in the alley that the married women had finished cleaning up by themselves, and they were hungry, and they wanted to eat breakfast, but they were too lazy to go to the street. The great people of the Song Dynasty had already had a way: find a rope, tie a bucket, and put a few copper coins in the bucket, and when they heard a hawker carrying a burden to sell breakfast shouting and passing downstairs, they opened the window, put the bucket down, and let the hawker fill the bucket with food......

This scene is similar to how similar to modern women who don't go downstairs to receive couriers at home, when Lu Xihua used to be a courier, many consignees (mostly women) did not go downstairs to express delivery in this way. It seems that there are lazy people in ancient and modern times!

Although it was autumn, the autumn tiger was also annoying, Lu Xihua walked around for a while, and found that there was a cold drink shop in this big song.

"Cao's Family" is the name of this shop, the store is quite large, and there are some merchants, officials, and domestic servants sitting in it, and the price is obviously expensive.

Lu Xihua raised his feet and entered, Xiao Er was stunned, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet with a smile, what did the guest officer order?

Lu Xihua looked up and saw that there were wooden signs hanging on the walls, writing the current drinks in the store: ice and snow, cold syrup, licorice soup, medicinal papaya, water papaya, cold water lychee paste, mung bean soup...

Lu Xihua found a table next to him and sat down, and asked about the drink.
