Qin Shihuang actually sleeps powder

Based on the Chinese principle of shopping around, Liu Ji took Xiao He and Cao Shen around the entire west of the city, and finally settled in a mansion called "Ke Lai".

It was just after noon at this time, and the three of them planned to taste the delicacies of Luoyang, so they went to a Chuanshe (restaurant) with a lot of customers.

As soon as he entered the door, a young man greeted him. He was holding a tray with several signs in it. Liu Ji looked curiously, and it turned out that it was a wooden sign with the names of various countries!

The boy smiled and motioned the guests to choose the wooden sign.

Liu Ji took the wooden sign that said Wei Guo, and the boy called out: "Xiao Wu, come to receive the guests! Three guests, please wait a moment." After speaking, he nodded and smiled at them, and then went to entertain other guests.

Afterwards, a very smooth young man from the state of Wei came to introduce them. Liu Ji felt that he would have a good time eating out, so he ordered three meat dishes, two vegetarian dishes, and a jug of wine!

As soon as the wine was served, Liu Ji was disappointed, it smelled very weak, not as mellow as his own brew.

Seeing his disappointment, Xiao He remembered that when Liu Ji took them to the mountain to find fruit and said he wanted to make wine, he didn't believe Liu Ji could make wine at that time, because wine was made from grain, how could he use food from the mountain? Those wild fruits?And many wild fruits don't even eat animals!

But after three months, they drank the incomparably mellow fruit wine!

Although this wine is available in almost every household in Zhongyangli, it has disappeared since leaving Zhongyangli. It seems that the villagers have done a good job of keeping it secret!

Xiao He smiled as he thought about it, Liu Ji thought Xiao He was laughing at him for spending money without thinking when he saw it, he was a little embarrassed, and said repeatedly: "Come and taste these dishes, they still look delicious!"

While talking, he put a piece of duck meat into his mouth and chewed it twice. Liu Ji felt that he was going to cry. What does it taste like!

There was no duck flavor at all, just ginger and an indescribable oily taste, almost no salt, and the chew was like wood residue.

Liu Ji spat it out directly, with a "disgusting! What the hell?" expression on his face.

Xiao He was startled, and quickly handed him water, Liu Ji took it, rinsed his mouth, and then looked like he had suffered [-] points of damage, and said weakly, "Taste it yourself!"

Seeing Liu Ji like this, Cao also had some doubts about the food on the table.

He carefully picked up a chopstick of celery, put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, his face changed slightly, but he swallowed it, and then commented: "There is no salt, boiled in plain water, I don't know what was added, it has a strange smell, it's hard to eat." eat."

Xiao He also tasted a plate of stir-fried vegetables that looked very good. They were so green and oily that he looked very appetizing. Xiao He put them in his mouth with great confidence, and then he also vomited!

Liu Ji looked at Xiao He with disbelief, after all, this dish was the most eye-catching dish on the table.

"How could this be?"

Cao Shen then said: "Even the food in the village is better than this, let alone Jidi's cooking."

The three looked at each other in blank dismay, Liu Ji felt that this was normal, there were two reasons for whether the food tasted good or not, one was whether there was salt and other seasonings, and the other was whether the ingredients were fresh or not.

You can see meat every five days in Zhongyang, and you can eat salt almost casually. In addition, Liu Ji often donates some recipes for free, so the housewives in the whole village have good cooking skills.

But Liu Ji didn't expect that even the dishes in Chuanshe, a big city like Luoyang, have this kind of taste!But the diners around are still eating with gusto!

The movement on their side has attracted the attention of others. After all, it is so "delicious" that two people vomited in a row!What a waste of money!

Liu Jihun didn't care about those prying eyes, he felt that the food on this table should not be spent in vain!

He called the waiter and asked if he could meet the cook.

Although the money cannot be refunded, the chef must understand that the dishes he cooks are unpalatable!

The waiter saw the untouched dishes on the table and what Xiao He and Liu Ji had spit on the plate, thought it was something wrong with the food, turned around and ran to find a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man had a beard and was slightly fat. He looked like a friendly person. He saluted Liu Ji and the others, looked at the situation on the table, and asked in Wei Guoguan's words: "The three guests are polite, my lord. My surname is Li, and I'm the shopkeeper of this Chuanshe, what do you need?"

Liu Ji asked him: "We want to meet the master."

Shopkeeper Li's face stiffened for a moment, and immediately sank, no longer gentle.

Liu Ji was waiting for his answer, and he was very surprised to see his face change. What's there to be angry about?

"Just to see and ask why these dishes are so unpalatable!"

Cao Shen could tell at a glance that the shopkeeper thought they were here to poach people, and he didn't even think about whether he had that strength!

Shopkeeper Li's complexion is even worse this time, someone even said that these dishes are not tasty!It seems that these few are not here to poach people, but to find fault!

"You need to think carefully about what you say. Our 'Yuanlai' is the best restaurant in Luoyang. Every dish is carefully cooked by our master chef. Don't talk nonsense and slander!"

Shopkeeper Li's voice was very loud, and all the people in Chuanshe paid attention to them.

A few impatient customers also chimed in: "Yes, these dishes are so delicious, what are you talking about? Don't you want to pay?"

As soon as this sentence came out, it seemed to remind the shopkeeper Li who was angry, he immediately turned his head, motioned for a few strong men standing in the corner to come forward, and said to them: "Three, why don't you settle the money first? "

Cao Shen immediately stood up, and shopkeeper Li took a step back in fright.

Xiao He also stood up, clapped his hands lightly, and said, "Okay, we really don't think these dishes taste good. I hope you can tell the master chef in your shop to improve them. How much is it?"

Liu Ji also stood up, with an expression of ready to pay and leave, unable to stay any longer.

Shopkeeper Li gritted his teeth and spit out "one hundred cloth coins", and then stared at Xiao He, because Xiao He couldn't see that he had brought money from his whole body.

Then Cao Shen took out the money bag from his arms, and the sound of "crashing" cloth coins immediately attracted the attention of the people around him. leave directly.

Liu Ji quickly followed, wanting to look back at the expressions of those people, but Cao Shen went straight out with the momentum of "a real man never looks back".

Xiao He also had a calm face, which made Liu Ji try his best to pretend to be domineering.

After leaving the door, Liu Ji quickly walked a few steps to Xiao He's side, and asked him in a low voice, "Isn't this too ostentatious? Will someone be watching?"

Xiao He kept walking, and replied calmly: "It's okay, fortunately, there is a kitchen in the house where you live, you can make something to eat later, and you have to go to the north of the city to have a look in the afternoon."

Liu Ji was also hungry, so he quickly made a clay pot version of fried rice with eggs. After eating, several people went straight to the north of the city. Liu Ji still remembered the Chengbei Xu Gong who advertised!

From a distance, you can see banners flying and people's heads surging. When you get closer, you can hear people's voices mixed with various languages. People with thick necks are everywhere when they haggle. Yes, there are all kinds of yelling, just looking at it makes me feel like I'm sweating from the heat.

It was the first time in Liu Ji's life that he came to such a lively place, and he kept looking around.

Seeing that he was so childish, Xiao He shook his head and left him alone, instead chatting with some traders.

Cao Shen looked around very purposefully, he was looking forward to having a weapon suitable for him.

At the end of Shenshi, the three met at the intersection.

Liu Ji has lost interest, wandering around for hours, covered in sweat.

Cao Shen also came here in high spirits, but came back disappointed. There is no one here to buy weapons!

Xiao He saw that both of them were in a slump, and it was getting late, and these shops would also be closed, so he proposed to go back to the residence first.

After eating and taking a shower, the three of them sat around to exchange information.

Liu Ji opened his mouth first, because he felt that he had seen more and mixed things.

"I checked the whole street. The people in Qin State are almost all wine sellers, and the business is very good. The people in Qi State sell a lot of miscellaneous things. The people in Zhao State sell mostly handicrafts, the price is low, and the business is very good. Human fur sells well, and there are many handicrafts, but the price is a bit expensive. Yan people sell almost all food. Koreans sell a lot of miscellaneous things, almost all of them, but I don’t think they can compare to things from other countries. , business is not good."

Liu Ji drank his saliva and continued: "There are some other small countries, I don't know about these, but I found that there seems to be no place to sell books? There is also the Xu Gong in the north of the city, I can't find it at all!"

Cao Shen immediately followed up and said: "There is no place to sell weapons, not a single one!"

When Liu Ji heard this, he knew that Cao Shen was probably only looking for weapons, but luckily there was Xiao He!

Xiao He opened his mouth to talk about his experience: "The goods outside are all general goods, and the really good ones are behind the shop or directly in the mansion shop, and I found out that there is a large-scale trade fair every month on No. 15, but you have to Everyone pays a cloth coin to participate"

NO.15? "Isn't it tomorrow?"

"Yes, and I also found out that there will be good things this time. The big shots in Luoyang City will go, and even the other six countries have sent people here. Otherwise, why do you think there are so many people here? Usually there are only half of the current people. "

Liu Ji was a little worried about not having enough money, so he asked Cao Shen, "How many cloth coins do we have left?"

Cao Shen smiled at him: "It's enough, don't worry!"

Liu Ji felt panicked: Could it be that Zhongyangli still minted coins privately? !

Xiao He knocked him on the head very speechlessly: "Have you forgotten the bag of silver that Yong Chi gave?"

Liu Ji whispered "Oh", "Then remember to buy tickets for us."

"Don't worry, I've already bought it, and I added ten cloth coins to book a box on the second floor."

Liu Ji: Oh!Got it, it turned out to be an ancient "auction"!

The next day, the three of them were fully dressed, and Xiao He led the way into a large courtyard on the east street of the city.

It is about the size of a football field. It is a two-story building with an empty space in the middle. There are several chairs and tables on the first floor, facing a table about one meter high.

The second floor is a room, covered with more expensive fine gauze.

Liu Ji felt that this was not very good at covering people's faces, but there was no modern glass-making technology in ancient times, so he could only make do with it.

At the end of the hour, a middle-aged man walked to the center of the stage, picked up a small gong and tapped it lightly, which was very melodious and could attract people's attention, and then he said loudly: "Everyone is coming to my Wang's trade fair, it is really fluffy!" Shenghui! I don’t want to say much, just go straight to the good things!”

As soon as the words fell, a strong man with a big arm and a round waist walked up to the stage holding a small box, put the things down and stood quietly aside.

"This is the legacy of the Empress Dowager Xuan of the Qin Dynasty. According to rumors, the Empress Dowager Xuan took this crown to Yiqu to meet the then king of Yiqu!"

Liu Ji didn't understand how to explain this?

When I asked Xiao He, Xiao He had no choice but to give him popular science. According to folk rumors, the Empress Dowager Xuan and King Yiqu were a little unclear.

Liu Ji still didn't understand, Xiao He said in a low voice: "How can the relationship between men and women be unclear?!"

Liu Ji: ...

Did the ancient people gossip like this?It's been so many years that people still gossip!
