Yangcheng

When the two of them transported the wine jar to the entrance of Fangmen, they found that the two streets of Jingyangfang Fangmen had been fully occupied by various merchants.

There are fixed shops in the Daobubi market at the gate of the square, and there are basically mobile hawkers and restaurants here.

On weekdays, everyone has their own positions, and no one will grab another's, so as not to become a quarrel.

But it's different in the first month.

The first month is the time of the year when the traffic is the largest, and there are business opportunities from morning to night, which is a lot of money!This month, no one is humble, and whoever occupies the favorable terrain is his.

Tang Jianwei knew that in places other than the East and West cities of Boling, some people came to grab seats at dawn. She thought that Su County would not be too brutal, but she did not expect that the competition in a small county would be fierce.

Zitan, who came first, occupied a good position, arranged all the high chairs and short tables, and set up four compact tables along the wall of the square, where guests can sit down, drink and eat.

"San Niang, fortunately we came one step ahead of time and grabbed this seat, otherwise there would be only a corner waiting for us."

Zitan pointed to the opposite side, not only the familiar neighbors on weekdays, but also many small merchants and peddlers who had never seen before, carrying burdens, carts, and bamboo baskets, all of them came like going to the market.

Looking at the situation, the passenger flow in Su County during the first month should be above Tang Jianwei's expectations.

In addition to the small stalls selling wine, lacquerware, drinks, flowers and trees, dry goods, and glutinous horns, there are only Hubing, soup cakes, sugar paintings, glutinous rice stuffing, hump roast... all kinds of food and snacks. I can't count my hands.

While setting up their stalls, the sellers were busy with what they were doing, while looking around to see who their competitors are today.

Everyone comes prepared with ruthless eyes!

There must be a fierce battle tonight!

Tang Jianwei asked Zitan to tear off the seal on the wine jar, and prepared spoons and bowls, while she set up the stove, added charcoal, and heated up the temperature.

At this time, the sky is already dark, the lanterns are beginning to appear, and thousands of candles welcome the spring.

Candlelight and lanterns will run through the entire first month together with the night market. The crowds of people gradually increase, and the streets are filled with laughter and laughter.

Tang Jianwei was looking at the stove.

It is not difficult to roast dozens of skewers at the same time in this rectangular stove, but there is one thing, it takes a certain amount of time for the charcoal to be hot enough to be grilled, and the scent of the Hubing on the opposite side has already risen.

Hubing is baked from oblate dough, and the surface of the cake is sprinkled with sesame seeds. When it is first baked, the surface is crispy and oily, very attractive.Moreover, Hu Bing is a food that the people of Dacang are very familiar with, and soon attracted a wave of people to surround it.

Everyone knows that the first lunar month can’t help the night, and there are delicious and interesting things in the streets and alleys. Many people don’t eat dinner. After holding back for a whole year, they can finally have fun and run out to look for delicious food.

Therefore, there is no shortage of customers for such honest pasta as Hubing.

Hu cakes are taken out of the stove one by one and spread in a full layer of bamboo baskets. The cakes that are bigger than the face cost three yuan a piece and five yuan a tael.

This mustard cake is fragrant, but it really swells the stomach.Not to mention that the food intake of people in Su County is generally not as good as that in the north, even the people of Boling are almost full after eating a whole pancake.

Everyone is here to visit the night market. If you want to eat more, you will not fill yourself up with mustard pancakes as soon as they come up.

Therefore, even if it costs five cents or two yuan, no one is willing to buy more. Most couples or friends who travel together buy one piece and tear it into several pieces to eat together.

The sugar painting stalls have attracted quite a few children, and the stalls selling snacks, drinks and fruits are doing very well.

The bosses will shout loudly and know how to make small profits but sell quickly. They all plan to make more money during the first month, and they all work very hard.

"It's a little troublesome."

Tong Shaoxuan watched people coming and going, and no one looked at them, feeling a little anxious.

Tang Jianwei took his time, and asked Tong Shaoxuan to take out the four lanterns in the car and light them up, and hung them on the bamboo poles she set up to illuminate the whole shop.

Tang Jianwei said: "We have to be bright and eye-catching, this is the first step.

Tong Shaoxuan, who had never had a business mind and even despised Tang Jianwei who was selling along the street, was inspired immediately after listening to Tang Jianwei's words, and said to her:

"Don't hang up the gauze lantern, just wait for me, I'll go back and get something, and I'll be right back!"

Tang Jianwei saw her running away in a gust of wind, and came back in a gust of wind less than half a stick of incense away, panting for breath.

"What are you doing? You dare to run away when you are better? You are not afraid of recurring injuries!" Tang Jianwei really couldn't stand Tong Shaoxuan's reckless temper.

During the days when she was helping her to take notes in the academy, Tong Shaoxuan was heard from the window as a person who moved very slowly and was muddled every day. Walking is not called action, but can only be called moving.

Now not only can walk normally, but also started to run?Tang Jianwei is quite satisfied with the effect of his diet.

"What did you bring?" Tang Jianwei watched curiously as Tong Shaoxuan took off the cover of the gauze lamp, and replaced the candlesticks inside with two fist-sized, shiny black oval metal objects.

This ellipse is connected to a base, which seems to be able to press it down.

"What is this?" Tang Jianwei and Zitan were very curious.

"Aren't you trying to attract business? This is much brighter and more eye-catching than a gauze lantern. There is a wonderful book in Changsun's family called

"That's it. As for the magical changes it has, I'll show you it later, and you'll know."

"All-encompassing? Is it all-encompassing?" Tang Jianwei's eyes were rounder than longan's when he heard the name.

"Huh? You actually know?"

Tong Shaoxuan originally wanted to make a fool of himself, but he never expected that the noble lady of Boling even knew everything in "The Collection of Dayan Cranes"?

"Why don't I know? I know too much!" Tang Jianwei was extremely excited,

"Isn't this the plaything Gaozu gave to Empress Zhen when she met her empress back then? It is said that it is all-encompassing and has all kinds of changes. It can change into the sea and the stars! Is it? Is it really possible?"

"...That's true."

Tong Shaoxuan originally wanted to come up with a surprise, to open the eyes of this aristocratic daughter, to experience the all-encompassing wonder.

Unexpectedly... Tang Jianwei not only has a good brain and can make money, but also has knowledge beyond her imagination. She even knows everything.

"How do you know it's all-encompassing? How do you know it's a gift from Gao Zu and Empress Zhen when they first met?"

While Tong Shaoxuan changed all the four gauze lamps, he asked Tang Jianwei curiously. He already had an answer in his heart.

"You didn't see it from those unofficial histories, did you?"

"That's right." Tang Jianwei admitted quite generously: "I just saw it from unofficial history."

"The unofficial history is unbelievable." Tong Shaoxuan said, "Not to mention all of them, at least half of them are made up."

"Perhaps. But even if the unofficial history cannot be fully believed, Gao Zu is still tyrannical and tyrannical in the official history. There are elements of fictitious support, but Gao Zu was able to hold up a brand-new mountain and river in troubled times, which can only be better than the unofficial history. Because of her hard work and courage at the beginning, the people of Dacang live and work in peace and contentment today, and they are blessed forever. .”

Speaking of Gao Zu's deeds, Tang Jianwei was quite moved, wishing to post the best words in the world on Gao Zu.

Tong Shaoxuan said in a muffled voice: "It sounds like you especially worship Gaozu..."

"Is there anyone among the people of Da Cang who doesn't worship her? I have read all the deeds of her old man, whether unofficial or official history, including all the records and daily life notes in the history museum. The records are the records of the emperor's words and deeds. Do not falsify things. The living notes are compiled according to the actual records, each of which is written by the living master. The recording of the emperor's words, laws, edicts, and virtues is a history of facts. .I saw the complete Gaozu in it, and she is indeed a person worthy of my admiration."

Tong Shaoxuan was curious: "Where do you most admire your ancestor? Is it her ability to open up territories and build an empire, or her political skills that know people and use them well?"

"It's all." Tang Jianwei was not joking at all. When it came to the matter of Gaozu, she showed all her sincerity, "I respect everything about her. Even those rumors about her, if they are true , I also don’t think there is any problem. The ants of the previous era didn’t know what kind of new world Gao Zu had to undertake and open up.”

Tang Jianwei became more and more serious as he spoke, as if if someone said a word or a word against Gaozu in front of her at this time, she would argue with that person to the end.

Oops.

Tong Shaoxuan suddenly realized something that concerned her.

Gao Zu's founding of the country is basically familiar to all the people in Da Cang from old to young, and she is no exception. She even looked through those unofficial histories out of curiosity.

There are many stories about the cruelty of Gaozu. At the beginning, the queen was used in every possible way, and the two were incompatible for a long time, so that the queen didn't want to be her caged bird, and established her own empire with the water as the boundary— —Long Song Country.

When reading this unofficial history at that time, Tong Shaoxuan felt that Gaozu's methods made her shudder.

If it were her, it would definitely be impossible...

Then the problem is coming.

Tong Shaoxuan said in his heart: With Tang Jianwei's personality, it is understandable that he would worship Gaozu.But Gaozu and I have completely different temperaments... Would Tang Jianwei think that I was too weak and useless?

After all, Gaozu was paralyzed from the lower body when he was young, and he could stand up again by his own will while sitting on a four-wheeled vehicle.

and I?

Without Tang Jianwei's decoction, I'm afraid he would have fallen apart after the meal just now?

The more Tong Shaoxuan thought about it, the more he felt that he had no chance of winning, that he was no match for Gao Zu, and his movements slowed down...

"What the hell are you thinking about?"

Noticing that Tong Shaoxuan's eyes were straight, Tang Jianwei turned slightly to one side, stared at her face and asked.

Tong Shaoxuan raised his hand and waved: "Don't get so close. I'm wondering how much money you can make this night."

"You waved me? Tsk, you're definitely not thinking about such things. How can you care about money or not, you clever child prodigy? If you were willing, the whole Su County would have been bald by you long ago."

Tong Shaoxuan was amused by her: "You northerners have a really funny way of speaking."

"You southerners really don't understand your tone of voice."

Tong Shaoxuan: "Huh? Why don't you understand? Don't you communicate well?"

"Okay, I understand. In fact, what I want to say is that you southerners speak softly, and quarrels are like talking about love."

"...Who quarreled with you?"

"I didn't say you were talking about love."

Tang Jianwei made up these sentences very quickly. The two of you may not know what you are talking about when you talk to each other. Next, it doesn't seem to matter that the words are out of tune.

Zitan at the side said with a dark face: "You two ladies, the other house has been sold for several rounds. Are we here to flirt or do business tonight? It's still open..."

The small merchants and hawkers on both sides of the road are already selling like a raging fire, and they are silently looking at Tang Jianwei, wanting to see what new tricks the fried dough stick Xishi has.

Unexpectedly, after looking at it for a long time, Youtiao Xishi didn't know what she was busy with. She just set up the stove and fiddled with the gauze lanterns, but she didn't move yet.

The longer the Fried Tiao Xi Tzu did not make a move, the less at ease they felt, as if they were cutting flesh with a blunt knife, anxious and painful.

But think about it, whether it is fried dough sticks or pancakes, the people in Su County must be familiar with it.

In everyone's eyes, Tang's sells breakfast, and her appearance at the night market will indeed attract a wave of attention.

But what she sells are staple foods that are full of food, and the places that sell Hubing and stuffed stuffing are better than hers, forming a front and back attack, visitors will definitely pass through these two shops first no matter whether they are in the past or in the future. It is very likely that the family will be the first to buy Hu Bing and Bi stuffing.

These two things are a first-class food. When the customers flow to Tang's side, I am afraid that people will be full when they see that the fried dough sticks and pancakes are full. Who will spend money on her?

It has long been heard that Tang's daily income is counted as two taels of silver, and the maid next to Tang's often goes to exchange silver for bank notes, which is very enviable.

According to her current earning rate, I am afraid that by this time next year, Tong's Mansion should be refurbished and expanded.

The peddlers looked at each other, but they never dared to lay hands on Tang Corporation.Her toughness is well-known throughout Su County, and no one wants to be the next sixth sister-in-law.

"Are you ready?" Tang Jianwei asked Tong Shaoxuan.

"Okay, okay. Look, just press here, and it will emit colorful light immediately! It has three gears, the first gear is the weakest light, and the third gear is the strongest. Which gear do you want to turn on?"

Tang Jianwei said: "Of course it's the strongest gear! It's as strong as it is, and it's best to be the one that can blind people's eyes!"

"...Okay, let me try."

Suddenly, in the already bustling night market, a colorful light washed away all the lights, spinning and flickering, lighting up the entire night sky.

The crowd wandering in the street was immediately attracted by the weird and intense light.

"What is that? What is flashing?"

"So bright! Could it be a newly developed lantern this year?"

"Isn't it? How can the lantern have such brightness? And it will change?"

"What the hell—quick, let's go and have a look!"

Not to mention the entrance of Jingyangfang, even people who are two or three away from the square have seen this epoch-making splendor.

Originally, I came out to play and watch the excitement. Who would not want to watch when there is excitement?A large group of people have come to all-inclusive here.

The small vendors around looked dumbfounded—where did this magic weapon come from?

Not only are they flashing, but they are also very dazzling, and they even change into flowers and spread out various colors. The four gauze lanterns are lit together, not to mention the little lights brought by the small vendors themselves, even the hanging lights in the neighborhood are very pale in comparison.

Originally, there were all kinds of sounds of blowing, blowing and beating on the first day, plus the all-encompassing devil-like light, people who saw it couldn't help but want to dance to the music and lights!

Tang Jianwei, who personally asked to drive to the maximum gear, couldn't bear it...

Originally, she wanted to blind other people's eyes, but she didn't expect to be blinded first, so she quickly asked Tong Shaoxuan to turn it down a notch.

"Really? Don't you have to be as strong as you are? It seems that your endurance is quite average." Tong Shaoxuan shrugged, "It's so easy to be scared."

"...Don't be naughty, hurry up! I'm going blind!" Tang Jianwei and Zitan could only cover their eyes at close range, unable to see the scene in front of them clearly.

Although Tong Shaoxuan got the "Dayan Crane Collection" written by his ancestor, grandson Ran, and is also concentrating on studying all the ingenuity recorded in this strange book, but it is not exactly the same.

For example, this is all-encompassing. The original records in "Da Yan He Ji" did not divide into files. Tong Shaoxuan improved on the original basis.

Tang Jianwei didn't know about it, and was still thinking while covering his stinging eyes. After all, Empress Zhen was also a generation of monarch, so she was still very happy to receive such a manic token of love, and accepted it with pleasure?

Sure enough, he is so talented that people can't help admiring him.

Tong Shaoxuan adjusted the all-encompassing to the lowest level, and it lost the vigour, which just wanted to make people dance, and turned into a softness like starlight.

This is soft yet bright, still the most eye-catching light on the whole street, but less exciting and more romantic.

Tang Jianwei was immediately attracted by the beautiful scenery, as if he had flown into the stars, surrounded by countless stars...

This experience is unique.

This is the brilliance that Empress Zhen saw back then, right?

In this heart-stirring brilliance, Tong Shaoxuan tilted his head in and smiled at her:

"Is it acceptable now?"

Tang Jianwei nodded quickly.

"Sanniang, madam, there are guests coming!" Zitan had already put twenty skewers on the stove and was getting ready.

Tang Jianwei taught her how to bake before opening the stall. If there are too many customers, they will not be in a hurry.

Zitan saw a group of people attracted by everything, approaching while discussing.After following Tang Jianwei for many years, Zitan, who had gained some experience, immediately knew that the business was coming. If he didn't roast the meat at this time, he would let out a wave of incense. When would he wait?

Zitan immediately grabbed a handful of skewers and put them on the stove, the sizzling smell of barbecue soon filled the air.

"Good time!" Tang Jianwei slapped a cattail fan in Tong Shaoxuan's arms, "I give you a difficult task that can exude your personal charm."

Tong Shaoxuan looked at the objects held by the old men and women in their hands to cool off: "...Are you sure this thing can make me exude personal charm?"

"Really, come on." Tang Jianwei led her to the stove and asked her to fan the stove with her back to the direction of the wind.

Tong Shaoxuan: "That's it?!"

"Is it easy? It's not easy. It not only tests your patience and arm strength, but most importantly, it tests your perseverance!"

Tang Jianwei was still waiting for Tong Shaoxuan to ask "what kind of perseverance", and she would answer "the perseverance to hold back the delicious skewers while looking at them".

Unexpectedly, Tong Shaoxuan's attention was not on perseverance at all, and his ears became hot when he heard the word "arm strength".

"I just want to know when you can say something serious!"

Tang Jianwei: "??"

Where am I being dishonest?

Who is it? !

Tong Shaoxuan is fanning the wind, the stove is getting more and more hot, and the smoke is also blazing into the sky. Combined with the all-encompassing and romantic light, this scene is so weird that people can't figure it out.

Tong Shaoxuan understood, she was tricked by Tang Jian again.

The charm is not exuded, but it is almost blinded by the exhaled smoke.

However, the fanned smoke still has the effect of attracting customers. Pedestrians who hadn't noticed the lights just now were startled by the thick smoke.

"What's the matter? It's not water, is it?"

A group of people hurried to take a closer look, but there was no water. The smoke came from Tang's night food stall.

"Grilled lamb kebabs - kebabs! Authentic lamb meat, fat and not stinky, five cents a bunch! No money if it's not delicious!"

Some people are already interested in grilled skewers, and they ordered two skewers to try first. Tang Jianwei took over the job of roasting red sandalwood, and red sandalwood began to yell.

The red sandalwood yelled without burden, and the voice was loud and penetrating, so that passers-by who were attracted by the lights and fireworks could immediately understand what they were selling.

"Grilled lamb, skewered? How to skewer it?"

"Roast mutton is very common, but it's the first time I've seen it sliced ​​and skewered one by one."

"But it seems to be quite convenient to eat."

The onlookers looked at the stove and talked about it.

"The fragrance is really fragrant...why is it so fragrant."

"Look at that sizzling oil—"

Just as he was speaking, the oil dripped into the charcoal pile, and a string of flames burst out, causing the surrounding people to scream.

Tang Jianwei was not afraid of fire in the kitchen all year round, but Tong Shaoxuan who was holding a cattail fan was startled.But in order to protect her face, she was still in a panic, so she came over and asked Tang Jianwei:

"Did you get burned?"

Tang Jian shook his head slightly: "No, I'm not afraid of fire."

Pedestrians were a bit greedy looking at the skewers, but most of them came out tonight to meet and drink, and they didn't go home until they were drunk.While discussing and hesitating, Tang Jianwei heard their conversation and immediately added:

"Grilled lamb kebabs, buy ten skewers and get one free! Sell twenty skewers and get free wine! Boss Xu's special wine! The taste is strong and sweet! Guest officer, why don't you have a bowl?"

Tang Jianwei knew that Xu Dalang's wine was very famous in Su County and even the whole Angzhou, and most wine lovers had heard of his reputation.

Sure enough, Tang Jianwei's words immediately aroused the interest of a group of adults:

"The wine you sell here is really Boss Xu's wine?"

Tang Jianwei said, "No."

Everyone: "??"

"I'll give you wine, I don't sell wine. If you buy twenty skewers, I'll give you a bowl of wine."

Someone said: "Buy [-] skewers and get a bowl for free. Isn't that too stingy, Boss Tang?"

Tang Jianwei said, "I'll give you a bowl, but I can't just drink one bowl."

"how do I say this?"

Tang Jianwei picked up the empty bowl at hand: "I will drink as much as you can within the time of a stick of incense."

"Is that true?!" The old drunkards became excited when they heard that there was such a good thing.

"Of course it's true. It's not the first day that I, Tang Jianwei, have been doing business in Suxian County. When did I deceive people?" She cupped her hands and saluted the neighbors around her.

"I would also like to ask you to stay here to testify. The little girl said that if you buy twenty skewers, you will get a bowl of wine. You can drink as much as you can within the time you take this bowl of skewers. It is best to come here for a while." A strong man drank his daughter to nothing!"

"Okay! That's what you said! Give me twenty skewers!" Zeng Erlang, a strong man who had been talking to her, immediately made a decision and ordered twenty skewers.

There are more and more onlookers, all watching the excitement.

At the same time, the aroma of meat on skewers and the smell of spices and peppers stimulate the senses and make people drool.

A pair of lovers who just ate two skewers were not satisfied and wanted to eat again, so they asked Tang Jianwei:

"Boss Tang, we have already eaten two skewers just now, if we come to eight skewers again, can we count ten skewers and give away one skewer?"

Tang Jianwei agreed very boldly: "No problem! But you have to wait, the master just ordered twenty skewers."

"Okay! Don't worry!"

The two of them were waiting in front of the stall, still sucking in breath.

The people next to them asked them curiously: "Is it delicious? Why are your mouths so red?"

"It's delicious, the spicy taste is really enjoyable, more exciting than cornel."

"Really or not?" Hearing the word spicy, the spicy-loving people from Suxian want to move.

"Really, it's delicious and the meat is tender, otherwise we wouldn't have asked for eight skewers!"

Someone voluntarily yelled to help, and those who watched the excitement and waited to see Zeng Erlang overthrow Boss Tang also became excited, wanting to get up one after another.

Tang Jianwei has a particularly good memory, whoever ordered how many skewers, who asked for heavy spicy and who wanted mild spicy, she remembered everything.

"Okay, okay, right away!"

But in the blink of an eye, there was a huge crowd in front of Tang's supper booth, and the entire Jingyang Lane's guests were sucked out by her.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Tang Jianwei: You have a pretty good dance.

Tong Shaoxuan: You DJ is also very slippery.

[True. Disco scene]
