Chapter 233 Night Market in Eastern Mongolia

Liaoyang, the city lights under the night sky are bright and prosperous. Like Shangjing, Liaoyang City has abolished the curfew after most of its garrisons withdrew. The old market system was immediately broken by the new business system, and merchants' business time was no longer limited to the daytime.

The rules of ordinary people working at sunrise and resting at sunset are also broken, especially in the city. After dinner, you can take your family on the lively streets. Even if you don’t buy anything, it’s a pleasure to join in the fun.

On a summer day with slightly higher temperatures, Liaoyang City only ushered in the busiest and noisiest time of the day in the first midnight after the sun sets. Unlike the rush of people rushing to go to work in the morning, the people on the streets are leisurely and comfortable at night.

Occasionally, when you run into the patrol security army, the people will feel unprecedented peace of mind.

"Cansel haws! Sweet and sour candied haws. They are delicious and not expensive, one copper coin and one string."

"Cooking cakes, cooking cakes, big and round cooking cakes, one copper coin and two pounds!"

"Tea soup! Tea soup! Tea soup that relieves heat!"

"Milk tea! Milk tea from Manzhouli! Milk tea from Dawang!"

"Wool, newly launched yarn. There are many colors, one copper coin and three balls!"

Various hawking sounds filled the streets, and merchants seemed to want to use the yo-heep sound to attract more customers. The people also seemed to enjoy this yo-heep sound. It seemed that for a moment, they were no longer workers who were working in the workshop during the day.

Ulutus was dressed in a regular outfit and the guards he wore were all in ordinary servant outfits. Alahaibeji no longer stubbornly wore a Mongolian robe covered with greasy stains, but instead changed into the latest popular women's windbreaker in Eastern Mongolia.

Compared with men's, women highlight their figure more. They also draw on the elegance of Hanfu, with deep clothes strung at the waist and buttons that bind ribbons between the sleeves. The colors are also more diverse. It is said that it was reported from the palace of Shangjing, so it is more popular among girls. Although the price of one piece is not cheap, many unmarried girls are still willing to save the workplace wages and want to buy one even if they grit their teeth.

In this way, you can have a long face when you get together with your best friend.

"Does third sister want to buy it?" Ulutus saw that Alahaibeji seemed to be very new to everything, so he couldn't help but speak out.

"Does Ninth brother want to give me?" Alahaibeji asked with a smile when he heard this. Today, Alahaibeji's headdress is no longer Mongolian, but a Han daughter who is ordinary. In addition, his outstanding appearance makes him feel like a Han daughter in the North.

"Whatever my third sister wants, just speak!" Wulutus said heartily: "The next day, when I return to the Khan Court, the third sister can also remember my kindness when she sees the items I gave me."

"Haha, I don't lack other items. I wonder if I can give some new things such as cement, fire tubes, etc. you mentioned a while ago?"

Cement is used to build roads! At Ulutus' suggestion, Alahaibeji hoped that after returning to the Khan Court, he could build an official road in the Khan Court to the Zhongdu in the northern part of the desert. Although riding a horse on the grassland is also very convenient, it is still not as convenient as Guan Dao.

Moreover, the official road was built, which also facilitated the Khanate to transport the wealth of the Central Plains back to the grasslands continuously. Ulutus agreed to this. However, the cement production was limited, so the price was relatively high. If Khanate was willing to buy it, Ulutus would not refuse. But if it was given for free, it would be painful.

As for the fire tube, the technical content is not high. When the Khanate has collected so many craftsmen from various countries, it is not difficult to imitate. Although Ulutus also wanted to block the technology and prevent it from spreading to the Khanate, he also knew that this was impossible.

Moreover, the reason why the Khan Court was so generous was that Eastern Mongolia was willing to present the fire tube to the Khan Court as a tribute. Two tributes a year, one hundred at a time. Now Alahaibeji is asking for additional demands, and Ulutus is in a difficult situation.

Zhuo Ya, who was with them, immediately rescued and said, "Princess, I think there is a powder shop here, why not go in and take a look?"

Although he was a woman who grew up on a horse, he still cared about his face. The colorful powder was still very attractive to Alahaibeji. Just as Ulutus seemed to be avoiding her request, he no longer had any difficulties and followed Zhuo Ya into the inner room.

However, in the powder shop, there are not only powders, but also the daughter’s home clothes, pants, perfumes, soaps, etc. Among them, perfumes and soaps are unique products in Eastern Mongolia. They are also widely popular in the Khan Court.

In Liaoyang, there are more types of perfumes and soaps, and their effects are different. In the end, Alahaibeji and Zhuoya both chose a bunch, and Ulutus was the one who paid the bill.

The female shopkeeper of the powder shop also praised the ability to please such rich customers, which allowed Ulutus and others to enjoy "customers are God's services" ahead of time. Especially those female waiters, seeing Ulutus's heroic spirit when checking out, they wished to stick it to Ulutus, so that they could be a beautiful lady with no worries about food and clothing and a rich life.

After leaving the powder shop, they went to the theater again. The latest choreographed drama "Tengzhou", which naturally talked about the popular content that was popular in the Eastern Mongolian region and was popular among the people of Dengzhou.

This is naturally what Ulutus requires, and opera is one of the mediums for spreading the thoughts of the government. Arrange and praise the operas of Eastern Mongolia can also enhance the sense of honor and identity of the Eastern Mongolian people.

Although in terms of "Tengzhou", the portrayal of the Red Coat Army is too stereotyped and blackened, in fact, the local people do not really welcome the Eastern Mongolian army to come to the door. Especially when forced evacuation, there are still many local people who resist. However, in the opera, the Red Coat Army is about to massacre the abandoned Dengzhou, so the Eastern Mongolian soldiers and the Dengzhou people defeated the Red Coat Army's conspiracy and successfully seized Dengzhou, allowing the local people to evacuate safely.

Alahaibeji was also very interested in the content of this drama. After watching it, he said to Ulutus: "You Eastern Mongolia are so talented! If such operas are introduced into the grassland, there will be many followers."

In an era when spiritual entertainment activities are scarce, opera does have unique charm. This can be heard from the applause of the people who watched the audience. I don’t know who followed the actors on the stage and shouted "Long Live the East Mongolia", but the people in the entire theater also shouted.
