Chapter 55: Buying horses in the east market and saddles in the west market
That night, the group was invited to stay at Wu Mei's natal home. Zheng Lang still wanted to sleep in the harem, but how could Li Shimin dare to keep the women of Shangxian in the harem overnight.
Early in the morning, Si Zi knocked on the door. In the morning, Yue Zihuang and Jiu Qian were invited into the palace early. It is said that the main topics of the morning session were: Di Wenming's military aid plan to the Tang Dynasty and the discussion of white people.
Which one is more suitable for interstellar pioneering, humans or red people?
Zheng Lang was more worried that if Jiuqian went to the palace, he would become Jiuqian again when he came back.
The strange object Li Shimin mentioned yesterday was not expected to arrive until the evening, so the few people who had nothing to do made an appointment to go shopping together today. There was Zheng Lang, an otaku, Zhao Yaoyou, and Sizi Lolita. In view of Princess Sizi,
Due to her identity, Wu Meiniang took on the role of a tour guide.
The goals of several people are the famous East Market and West Market.
Chang'an city is divided into the left and right, with a symmetrical layout. A Zhuque Street cuts the entire city in half accurately, forming a market on both sides of the city, which is the east market where you can buy horses, and the west market where you can buy saddles and saddles.
Market. It is said that this is also the origin of buying "things" in later generations.
The whole city is divided into small squares by criss-crossing roads, but please believe that the squares you see here must be exactly the same opposite Zhuque Street. The urban designers of that year were said to be in the late stages of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
player.
Since most of Chang'an's dignitaries live in the east of the city, the products in the East Market are relatively high-end, such as the horses Mulan bought, while the West Market is close to the lives of ordinary people and is suitable for low-end consumption, such as saddles and other accessories.
But because of the existence of the Silk Road, foreign merchants can often be seen in the West Market, which is relatively close to the West Gate. Among them, most of them are red people who are currently being discussed in the morning...
Several people followed the local customs and changed into the clothes of the dynasty. Wu Meiniang took the lead and went to Dongshi first.
The last time Zheng Lang came to the Tang Dynasty, he only walked around the palace for less than a day. This was also the first time he really entered the life of the Tang Dynasty.
As the capital of the most powerful country at that time, the urban appearance of the Tang Dynasty was quite good. The main roads were paved with gravel slabs, and street trees were planted on the roadside. The breeze provided warmth and there was a steady flow of people. Except that the buildings on the roadside were not so bright.
Everything feels like arriving in a modern film and television town.
Zheng Lang and Zhao Yao didn't have the restraint of modern people at all. They were curious about everything. Even the dandy teasing a good woman on the roadside could keep the two of them watching for a long time. On the contrary, Wu Meiniang put her hand on her forehead, as if she was carrying two
A modern country bumpkin shopping.
Sizi had as much energy as ever and could be said to have given up. Because when she went out with Zheng Lang, Li Shimin felt relieved and did not arrange any escorts, so the little girl was even more excited.
The East Market consists of four main streets. Each street sells different main products. There are also many restaurants, teahouses, and popular brothels interspersed among them. Zheng Lang glanced at it, and there were people walking around. It was very lively. Based on his impression of the home he often visited
Compared with the city, the area of the East Market is about three times more, which is more than 30,000 square meters of commercial area. In an agricultural society, this area of commercial market is the only one in the world.
Don't think that modern people are well-informed. There are many products on the East Market that Zheng Lang can't judge the use of. On the contrary, Zhao Yao, because he was born professionally, can name most of the items.
Zhao Yao, who was hit by Zheng Lang yesterday and gave up her thoughts on selling cultural relics, is now full of confidence because she has discovered a new way to make money!
It is true that products from the Tang Dynasty would be identified as new after being shipped back, but there were also antique shops in the Tang Dynasty! The items in the antique shops of the Tang Dynasty were even more impressive. There were many items from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, and even items from the Shang and Zhou dynasties.
, Zhao Yao was immersed in it all at once. Taking these things back would not only have huge economic value, but also have huge academic value.
"But." Zheng Lang organized his language and said with his shallow common sense: "Even a layman like me knows that antiques are all used for age identification? The most common one is the carbon 12 method. In other words, your batch
If the things are taken back, there is a high probability that they will be judged as cultural relics of the Warring States Period imitated by later generations, rather than genuine cultural relics of the Warring States Period. This will only twist the academic world into a knot."
Zhao Yao was stunned for a moment and looked at Zheng Lang with resentment. His lover came to stand in for him. Zheng Lang suddenly realized that his life was meaningless and he might as well find a place to spend his miserable life...
The previous estimate was too optimistic. If this ability is used well, it can indeed make people feel ecstasy, but if it is used abnormally and the battle is ended hastily, the other party will be dissatisfied, which is enough for Zheng Lang to commit suicide on the spot in shame. Hold on still.
Develop, continue to learn more from all the teachers, Brother Lang, don’t be lazy yet!
Although Sizi has given up, her whereabouts are easy to grasp. She can always be found at the food stalls along the way. Thanks to her, Zheng Lang also mixed in a lot of snacks, and by the way ended a famous food stall on the earth.
Religious disputes.
The Sweet Soy Milk Cult is a cult! All soy milk in the Tang Dynasty was salty, and all other drinking methods in later generations were misguided.
Unfortunately, there were no deep-fried dough sticks in the Tang Dynasty, so they had to be paired with flatbread. After all, Qin Hui and his eighteenth-generation grandfather were still tadpoles at this time.
Not long after, Zhao Yao was resurrected with full health. After all, she was still a young girl, chasing Si Zi everywhere to join in the fun.
"Wow!" Zhao Yao shouted excitedly: "Zheng Lang, look, there are watermelons. There were watermelons in the Tang Dynasty." As he said this, he stepped forward and patted the watermelon.
That one, I took pictures of it all in a while.
The fruit stall owner couldn't stand it any longer, so he came out and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
…
Li Shimin gave him a lot of silver. After all, when he was in the upper world, Zheng Lang gave him a lot of soft girl coins. It is said that after Li Shimin returned from the upper world, he was planning to issue silver coins, and he also wanted to use his own avatar like Taizu in the upper world.
Engraved silver coins.
After a lot of fuss, Zheng Lang bought all the gifts for other people.
I bought a bracelet for Le Zihuang. The material is ruby. It comes from the great food country in the far west, that is, the Arabian Empire. I wonder if this gift will change her planned marching direction.
Wu Meiniang received a hairpin, made of sterling silver, in the shape of a magpie, with a pearl in its beak. Wu Meiniang happily took it and inserted it into her hair immediately, which made her face look a little brighter.
Sizi didn't want a gift, but got an application in exchange for an application. Next time Zheng Lang would use her space to transport potato chips in the warehouse.
Jiu Qian's gift was a few Yellow River saury fish, which have long been extinct in later generations. But now that the Yellow River has not turned yellow, it is not uncommon.
Finally, it was Zhao Yao. After paying for the above gifts, Zhao Yao took away all the remaining silver from Zheng Lang...
A few people finished shopping all morning and planned to find a place to have lunch. Under Wu Meiniang's introduction, they came to a restaurant called Yuemanlou.
Chapter completed!
