Chapter 136: The First Arrival in Dadu

Dadu is the capital of Yuan, which is called "Khan Bali" in Turkic language, which means "the residence of the Great Khan". From Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, to the fourth year of the Yuan Dynasty (1267 (Ding Mao year)) to the twenty-eighth year of the Yuan Shun Emperor (1368), it was the capital of the Yuan Dynasty. Its site is today's Yanjing City.

Song Qingshu has never been to Dadu, and he has never been to Yanjing City even in later generations. This is the first time that Song Qingshu has come to the capital of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties of the three generations of feudal dynasties in Chinese history.

Standing outside the capital, looking at the towering city wall, mottled by the wind of the years, witnessing the rise and fall of one dynasty after another, witnessing one heroic martyr after another from the majestic wind to the twilight of heroes, Song Qingshu only felt that his soul seemed to have experienced a thousand years of reincarnation, and a feeling of 'not seeing the ancients before and not seeing the comers, thinking of the world and the world, alone and crying' came spontaneously.

Entering the city, the first impression of Song Qingshu was... The chaos of the outside world, the collapse of the world's rivers and mountains does not seem to be reflected here, and there is a scene of singing and dancing, peace and prosperity.

At this time, it was already evening, the twilight was dim, the remnant sun was like blood, the sky was long and the sunset was far away, the water was clear and cold, and the afterglow of the sunset zuihou shone on the moat, and the breeze blew through, and there were golden ripples at the beginning.

Entering the capital, there are eight streets and nine mo, the widest street, which is more than ten zhang wide! There are also ten miles long street. The traffic is busy, the rows are one after another, and the pedestrians shuttle like weaving, one after another into a curtain, and one after another rubbing shoulders.

There are tea shops, wine shops, and foot shops in the city. butchers, etc.

There is silk and satin in the shop. Specialized in jewelry, spices, incense, paper horses, etc.;

There is also a medical outpatient clinic. Car repair, fortune telling, facelifting, all walks of life, everything.

Bright banners are hung in front of large shops to solicit business, while small vendors spread out a piece of fabric on both sides of the street, unfurling their wares and shouting.

Market pedestrians. There are businessmen, gentry watching the street scene, officials riding horses, hawkers, family members riding sedan chairs, monks carrying baskets, tourists asking for directions, street children listening to books, and children of wealthy families drinking in restaurants. There are disabled old people begging on the edge of the city, men, women and children, farmers and businessmen, three religions and nine streams. Everything. Of course, there are also flower streets and willow lanes, scratching their heads and making gestures. There is even no shortage of Jianghu guests and disciples of the sect. Shuttle walking.

At this time, it was getting late, and Song Qingshu was not in a hurry to do something. So I looked around and came to an inn called "Jun Again".

This shop is not too big. But after picking it up cleanly and handing the reins to Xiao Er, Song Qingshu walked straight in.

When I came to the counter, I saw a round fat man making calculations, as if he felt that the light in front of him was dim, and when he looked up, he found that Song Qingshu had arrived, and his expressionless face was suddenly covered with a smile.

"Guest officer, are you a tip or a stay. ”

"Let's have an upper room. ”

"Okay. The shopkeeper smiled, and handed out another key as he spoke, "This is the key to the Tianzi C room, take it well, guest officer." Go upstairs and turn left. ”

Song Qingshu nodded, took the key, turned around and walked upstairs.

"Guest officer, are you going to eat downstairs tonight or will we send you the meal to your room?" The shopkeeper asked from behind.

"Delivered to the room for you. Song Qing didn't reply, and replied lightly.

After a few days of traveling, Song Qingshu was now exhausted, hurriedly had dinner, and fell asleep.

On the second day, the rooster crowed in the three provinces, and when Song Qingshu got up, it was already three poles in the sun, so he asked the guy to bring hot water, and Song Qingshu took a bath happily, only feeling comfortable.

"Yo, guest officer, you're up, you need something. The shopkeeper saw Song Qingshu walking downstairs at a glance, and said with a smile.

"It's the first time I've come to you, what's delicious, can you introduce it?" Song Qingshu said with a smile.

"Yo, that's a lot. As soon as I heard Song Qingshu say this, the shopkeeper became energetic, and counted it with his hands, "This dish, our store's 'Farewell My Concubine', 'Lovesick Tears', 'Autumn Sand Rolling', 'Xiangzi Blowing Xiao', 'Taoyuan Three Knots', 'Swinging Spirit', 'June Drifting Snow'"

"Yes, yes, yes, I said shopkeeper, okay. Seeing the unfinished shopkeeper, Song Qingshu couldn't help crying and laughing, "Are you a princess selling melons, selling yourself and boasting?"

"What the guest officer said, it's not that I'm a fat man, although our store is not big, but if you want to say that this dish is not comparable to some big restaurants. Hearing Song Qingshu doubt the authenticity of his words, the shopkeeper couldn't help but be anxious, and opened his mouth to defend, "The guest officer can go and inquire, the skills of the chef in our store are well-known, otherwise I wouldn't dare to call the name of the store 'Jun Come Again'." ”

"Okay, okay, that's not what I meant. Seeing the shopkeeper's indignant look, Song Qingshu shook his head with a wry smile and said, "In that case, let's have a copy of 'Farewell My Concubine', 'Autumn Sand Rolling', 'Xiangzi Blowing Xiao', 'Taoyuan Three Knots', and 'June Snow'." ”

"Okay, 'Farewell My Concubine', 'Autumn Sand Rolling', 'Xiangzi Blowing Xiao', 'Taoyuan Three Knots', 'June Drifting Snow' are the same. The shopkeeper's face is really a June day, it will change when it is said, just now he looked indignant, and now he immediately smiled again, heard Song Qingshu's dish, shouted loudly, and said to Song Qingshu with a smile after shouting, "Guest officer, the sword is given to the hero, and the red match is given to the beauty, this good dish is inferior by three points if it lacks good wine." ”

"So what?" Song Qingshu looked at the shopkeeper with a teasing expression, "A pot of good wine too?"

"Exactly, the 'hero's tears' in our store are also a must, can the guest officer try it?" Regarding Song Qingshu's ridicule, the shopkeeper didn't care.

"The name is so sad, and it sounds like a strong wine, but I don't like it. Song Qingshu shook his head.

"Don't like it?" the shopkeeper was stunned, and then began to recommend it again as if nothing happened, "It doesn't matter, the 'Zhu Yeqing', 'Daughter Red', 'Du Kang', and 'Lanling' in our store are all good wines." ”

Looking at the shopkeeper who spared no effort to recommend, Song Qingshu couldn't help but smile and said, "Shopkeeper, you are really good at business." Well, come to a pot of Lanling Beauty Bar, and let me feel what the ancients said, 'Lanling wine tulips, jade bowls hold amber light'. ”

"Hehe, it's all for life, it's all for life. The shopkeeper smiled with squinted eyes. Then he shouted loudly, "A pot of Lanling wine." ”

For the shopkeeper's words, Song Qingshu smiled, but he didn't say anything more, yes, everything is for life, if he didn't have this extraordinary experience, I'm afraid he would also be one of the people who is running around for life. (To be continued......)
