Chapter 39 Encounter in the West City
Since the emperor has taken the initiative to approve the fake, it can't be said without ungry. In addition, Qin Mubai also wants to go home to get some laundry and daily necessities. So he got on the fire cloud horse and left the palace.
Chang'an City is too big. It takes an hour or two to walk back on foot. The fire cloud was fast, and it didn't take long to get to the West City.
West City is the largest market in the world today, and it is less fearing than the commercial pedestrian street of the 21st century metropolis. After Qin Mubai came to the Tang Dynasty, he had not visited the West City carefully. Today, he stole half a day's free time on the way, so he got off the horse and walked all the way.
Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty is no exaggeration to say that it is the world's first international metropolis today. In the Central Plains of a large agricultural country, Chang'an has a strong atmosphere of commercial cities. This smell is particularly strong in the West City.
Many foreign merchants came from the Silk Road with rare treasures, aiming straight at Chang'an. I hope to find Tang's tea, satin, ceramics and other specialty goods to be trafficked in the country. Many barbis don't want to leave when they come to Chang'an. The goal of graduation is to settle here and take root, which is quite similar to that of many people fighting for the American green card in the 21st century.
In foreign countries, the status of Tang people has always been the highest. It's like a foreign envoy came to the Tang Dynasty and treated the ordinary people of the Tang Dynasty with humility. Our Han and Tang Chinese clothes are not what Hu people can wear. Unless you get permanent residence, you dare to change into a gorgeous silk Tang suit and be proud of it. When foreign envoys came to the Tang Dynasty to visit Li Shimin, the precious beauty who was rewarded did not receive a set of Tang clothes and were happy - just like getting the Green Card of the Tang Dynasty, they had the residential rights of the Heavenly Kingdom. Therefore, many envoys, students and businessmen who came to the Tang Dynasty did not want to leave after coming to the Tang Dynasty. Marry a wife and have children here to reproduce. What attracts them is not only the prosperity and splendid culture of the Tang Dynasty. The open mind of this empire is the core driving force of the sea.
Because of this, many talented people from foreign countries stayed in the Tang Dynasty. While enjoying the life of the Tang Dynasty, they also promoted their talents and their own culture here. On the basis of the Central Plains civilization, the Tang Dynasty has integrated many of the most colorful exotic cultures, which are as colorful as the competition. At the same time, it has also driven the prosperity of production and science and technology. Such a virtuous circle is the real reason why the Tang Dynasty is now at the top of the nation and the country. The Tang Dynasty and the Chinese nation, like the leader, have been leading the progress of the whole era since then.
People in the 21st century know that openness and tolerance can keep pace with the times, or why should we reform and open up? Tang people for more than a thousand years understand this truth, but the Manchu people of the Qing Dynasty more than a thousand years later do not understand this truth. So now there are only Chinatowns in the United States, and there is no 'Qingren Street', but only a museum for displaying treasures stolen from the Qing court.
Compare with the two, Qin Mubai thinks it's better to be a Tang Dynasty. Manqing, that's for hatred and overthrow.
The foreign population in the West City is the largest, and more than 90% of the Hu people still retain their own clothing. At first glance, it's like a hundred flowers competing for beauty. The plaques of a forest of merchants are dazzling, and there is an endless stream of chariots and horses on the streets with a width of 40 or 50 meters. The wine in the wine shop is fragrant and wonderful. Some gorgeous Hu Ji wears a veil and exposed Hu clothes, and dances the Hu dance of ** and ** to attract diners.
Walking on the west city, Qin Mubai felt that he was so inconspicuous like a drop of the sea, but he smelled the strong smell of this prosperous era, which was really heartbreaking. What a proud thing it is for him to enjoy himself as a Tang Dynasty.
After wandering for a while, Qin Mubai was greedily appreciating the lively market and inadvertently glanced at a quite a bold wine shop. The restaurant is taller and more gorgeous than any house next to it, and it is very new, as if it were a newly opened store.
The name of the restaurant is also a little scary - the first wine in the world.
It is rare to have a shop named after a shop, a shop, a home, a warehouse, but a wine.
The door of the store is large enough to drive into three or four carriages side by side. At this moment, a large number of people are coming in and out. An obvious phenomenon - the people who walk in are red and excited, and from the perspective of dressing temperament, they are either rich or noble, officials, or talented and beautiful. When they came out, most of them staggered to help each other, and they were still shouting 'good wine, good wine' in their mouths. The promiscuous posture and the dignified elegance when they first entered, forming a very strong contrast.
"The first wine in the world... This store is a little interesting." Qin Mubai looked at it twice and didn't think about it. He was about to pass by with the horse. I couldn't take it to hear a shout from the building: "Hey - Third Brother Qin!"
"Who called me?" Qin Mubai looked up and saw a big black head in an elegant pavilion on the second floor, and he was grinning at him: "It's me! Yuwen Hongtai! Third Brother Qin, what a coincidence. Why don't you come up and have two drinks? Ah, no, I'll go down and welcome you!"
"What a coincidence. I'll come up by myself." I haven't seen Yuwen Hongtai for many days. Qin Mubai was also very happy to meet him by chance, so he took the horse to the store. A second child in the store immediately took over the reins, and he was stunned: "Peerless treasure! Dare to ask the guest, what kind of horse food should be used to feed?
"The best." Qin Mubai threw the horse whip with a stack of copper coins to the little two and strode into the store.
As soon as I stepped into the hotel, I smelled a faint fragrance on my face. A woman with a good figure with a pink face stood in front of Qin Mubai in a bearded men's clothing. Looking at him up and down, the woman hugged her fist and said, "Do you want to drink or listen to music?"
"Are you... the second child in the store?" Qin Mubai couldn't help but be a little surprised. I have never seen such a dressed second child even on TV.
The woman in men's clothing smiled and showed her teeth slightly: "It's the second child in this store. The shop's 'the first wine in the world' from the shop owner to the cook's chores, except for the servants who attract guests and lead horses, they are all women.
Qin Mubai looked around the store. The counter shopkeeper and the second child who shuttled back and forth in the store were all wearing a unified style of tight men's clothing like cheongsam, black gauze head and golden silk cloud boots, with a soap leather waist to promote green jade... Although there is no trace of exposure, it makes people feel amazingly sexy, as if they are in a flower. In the middle.
What's more rare is that it seems difficult for Qin Mubai to pick out a slightly ugly character from these women.
"Your store owner is really a business genius." Qin Mubai smiled slightly, gave her some copper coins casually, and said, "Insue me to the Accord on the second floor. I have a friend who has opened a wine party there."
"Brother, please." The woman's spotless jade hand raised, and her charming but not vulgar jade face led the way forward with a smile. The gently twisted waist is as flexible as a water snake, and the light swing of the delicate buttocks wrapped in a tight beard is eye-catching like a magnet.
Qin Mubai couldn't help shaking his head and smiling: The owner of this store is undoubtedly a genius in business, and he knows what men think best. Most of the men in the Tang Dynasty are romantic and lustful, but men have always thought that it is better to steal than a wife than a concubine, and it is better to steal than to steal. Just say that these waiter girls are all dressed tightly, but they are amorous and sexy in their bones. Although it is seductive, it is not **; although it is enthusiastic, it is not sticky. Such a woman is much more attractive than Sister Yao, who cheats with money in the kiln.
Whether there is flower wine or not, whether there is erotic service or not. Such a ** atmosphere is enough to make more than 90% of men want to stay.
Walking up the stairs, the tall Yuwen Hongtai bumped into him head-on and laughed when he met him: "Great! I haven't seen Qin Sange for a long time. Please come in and sit down!"
Qin Mubai greeted him with a smile and said, "Who are there?"
"Yin Yang is in. The rest are all some brothers in Wu Wangfu. You know all the third brother!" Yuwen Hongtai laughed like a bell, "Come on, come on! I haven't seen you for many days. My brothers all want to be the third brother of Qin!"
The two of them just walked into the Accord, and a string of people stood up and hugged their fists and worshiped: "I've seen Third Brother Qin!"
"Oh, what brothers!" Qin Mubai laughed and saluted, "It's really predestined! Everyone sit down, you're welcome!"
The Accord is very large, leaving a large area in the middle, and everyone sits around the wall. Qin Mubai was rudely pushed to the top seat by everyone. When the wine is put on, the pot is unusually fragrant. Qin Mubai smelled it a little and knew it in his heart: This is a high degree of white wine!
Does the so-called world's first liquor refer to this high level of liquor? Isn't this method of brewing only known to me and Mei Niang, Zheng Fengchi and others? Did they open this restaurant?
"Haha, Qin Sange, we meet again after a long separation. If you don't get drunk today, you won't come back! This wine is really powerful. It is known as the first wine in the world. It is really not covered! Come on, let's go to Qin Sange first!" Yuwen Hongtai laughed and raised the wine cup.
"One? I dare not. I don't have much time today, and I have to go back to the palace later. It's better to have a light drink." Qin Mubai naturally knows more about the power of this wine than anyone else. If Yuwen Hongtai and others heard that the name of this wine is 'Qin Xianjiu', they would be even more surprised. However, this restaurant still seems to be a little taboo and does not dare to advertise the name of the imperial wine given by the emperor.
"Oi, okay, then take a light drink. Since it's inconvenient for Third Brother Qin to get drunk, the brothers will come to respect you together!" Yuwen Hongtai roared, and Yin Yang and more than a dozen soldiers raised their glasses together to salute.
Everyone talked and laughed happily, drank wine and ate some dishes, and three music tricks came into the cabinet. One holds a pipa, one holds a flute, and the other holds a flute.
The three beautiful girls, all like immortals, looked green in the eyes of Yuwen Hongtai and others. But to everyone's surprise, the beautiful girl holding the pipa was groping in - although her eyes were big, beautiful and watery, she seemed to see nothing. She was a blind woman.
