"Sir, I haven't eaten this rock sugar persimmon before..."
"Sir, this jade bowl is of the highest quality...it..."
"Okay, okay, stop talking and buy! You can buy anything!"
Li Sheng felt like he was shopping with his two daughters.
But it’s been a long time since I visited a densely populated and bustling place, so it was quite fun to visit the night market this time.
After a while, I bought a lot of things.
Even Li Sheng himself picked a four-stone hard bow, which attracted onlookers to marvel.
But fortunately, Li Sheng was a young master after all, so he didn't have to pay and carry things on his shoulders. The two maids were still not satisfied with their shopping, which was equivalent to ten past eight or nine at night.
On the way, Li Sheng discovered many shops that he had never seen in TV dramas in his previous life, such as one that specialized in selling copperware.
I can't help but sigh, Chang'an is much more prosperous than Youzhou. Generally, copper and ironware are sold together, and there are also shops that specialize in copperware.
After looking around, Li Sheng found a brass lamp, which seemed to be very good.
The workmanship is very exquisite and the shape is special.
Of course, no matter how special the shape is, if it is just for aesthetic value, Li Sheng will not be very interested. But Li Sheng observed this brass lamp...
It seems that you can make an alcohol lamp, and it looks much better than the one at home.
The whole shape is close to the alcohol lamp of the previous life, with the bottle below and the lamp holder above.
This made Li Sheng very nostalgic for a moment, and he also recently made a pot of distilled alcohol with an alcohol content of almost 99.
Now that we have new alcohol, we should also get a new alcohol lamp!
I also bought the brass lamp on the spot, poured alcohol into it, and experimented on the street.
"Sir, is this alcohol lamp any different from the one at home?"
"You will know when you get back... Yes, the temperature is at least three hundred degrees higher."
"Let's go. It's a long way, let's rent some horses and go back!"
"Yes, sir!"
…
This time, it's not too early.
It was about eight o'clock at night, almost nine o'clock.
In Li Sheng's era, nightlife had just begun at this point, but it was no longer possible to wander around in Chang'an because the night curfew had not yet been lifted.
There are horse rental places all over Chang'an. Li Sheng bought a lot of things with his two maids, and naturally rented two horses along the way. Ying'er rode a few times, but Mian'er didn't know how to ride a horse, so Li Sheng naturally took him with him.
It was also the first time that I experienced why people who ride motorcycles like motorcycles so much...
…
Just about to go back to the shop.
Suddenly I passed a shop.
Mian'er stopped and tugged at the corner of Li Sheng's clothes, "Sir, there is a herbal medicine shop here, it seems to be newly opened!"
"Herbal Medicine Shop?"
Li Sheng and Ying'er couldn't help but stop and turned around to see that it was indeed there.
But Li Sheng was a little confused, "Do you want to buy medicine? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, but there is saltpeter sold in the herbal medicine shop. Sir, why don't we buy some and go back?"
Li Sheng reacted immediately.
It really is!
Saltpeter has more than one use here. In all the large and small drug stores in Youzhou, I have almost bought all the saltpeter. Now that I have come across it... I just got it!
After entering, it was done quickly.
But at this time, Li Sheng smelled a strange smell...tea!
What surprised him was that it was not the tea soup that most people drink in this era, but the real aroma of green tea.
Li Sheng couldn't help but think of the legend of Tea Saint Lu Yu... From this point of view, before Lu Yu appeared, there was already ordinary green tea, at least it was the prototype of green tea!
Li Sheng immediately called the shopkeeper, "How much is this tea?"
"Tea? Young master knows the goods! This is the treasure of the shop, dry tea shipped from the south of the Yangtze River! It's just a bit expensive, only five taels per catty..."
Five taels per pound is not cheap, but for Li Sheng who wants to try something new, it is really not a problem.
Pay immediately and get it.
But at this moment, a fiery figure in red clothes walked into the shop.
"Hello, shopkeeper, do you have dry tea...Yes, I'll cover it all!"
As he spoke, a piece of gold was placed on the counter.
Li Sheng frowned and turned around.
…
This person is actually a young girl.
Li Sheng was also stunned for a moment. This little girl was quite beautiful, and she looked like a college belle in his previous life.
"Girl, I already have this tea..."
"You want it? Have you paid?"
The girl said and looked towards the store.
"Not yet..."
"That's right. If you haven't paid yet, the one with the highest price will naturally get it."
As he said that, he picked up the tea tube directly!
Li Sheng was simply stupid. There were many dandies like wdnmd in urban novels of later generations, but what he didn’t expect was that he had never met him in his previous life, but he actually met him in Chang’an of the Tang Dynasty!
Just as he was about to get angry, the girl turned to look at Li Sheng, cupped her hands again and said,
"This little girl with dry tea was bought as a gift for my father. Today I would like to express my gratitude to the young master for generously giving up the little girl!"
A pair of wonderful eyes looked at Li Sheng with a smile, and then said,
"Young Master must be a businessman making a living in Chang'an City. It's not easy to make money, so why pursue such a luxury?"
Then take off your purse,
He put several gold leaves into Li Sheng's hand, looked at it and took away Li Sheng's brass alcohol lamp...
"This money should be used to take care of the young master's business. Please don't argue with the little girl!"
As he spoke, he felt like a gust of wind and left the herbal medicine shop directly.
The confused Li Sheng was left messy in the wind...
Li Sheng was furious. If this was a gender swap, wouldn't it be a joke in a novel about a domineering president?
What is the origin of this little lady, so arrogant... My alcohol lamp!
Although it was not a valuable item, Li Sheng always felt as if he had been teased.
…
The two maids looked at the alcohol lamp in Li Sheng's hand.
Looking at each other, their eyes were a little sour.
"Sir, you must not be deceived by beauty..."
"Sir, this woman is so arrogant and annoying..."
…
The girl in red turned and left, leaving her hearty laughter behind.
Then he quickly left the shop, turned over and rode away on horseback.
But when I saw the brass vessel on the ground that looked like a wine flask, I was suddenly surprised.
"This is...a wine flask?"
Brass hip flasks were really rare in this era.
First of all, metal products are not cheap.
Although brass has a color similar to gold, it does not have that gorgeous temperament.
Therefore, ordinary people cannot afford it, and wealthy people do not want to use it.
The girl was slightly surprised.
Moreover, the internal structure of this wine flask is also very rare and somewhat exquisite.
But the smell...yes, it is indeed wine!
The smell is unmistakable and very strong.
Think about it, the other person said that this wine is worth a hundred coins, but that’s an unknown amount of copper coins...
Out of curiosity, the girl picked up the wine bottle.
The smell of alcohol is very strong and enticing.
took a taste...
"Wow..."
"This wine...why is it so strong? But it is so fragrant and mellow. It seems to be a really good wine."
No matter what flavor or concentration,
In the Tang Dynasty, if the wine pulp was clear, it was the best wine.
The girl looked at the light of the lanterns on the roadside and saw that there were no impurities in the wine. It was indeed the best wine!
With her heart pounding and not stopping, the girl raised her head and drank the entire bottle of alcohol...
