Great Song

Early the next morning, the group left the Han Mansion and headed for Anyang City.Naturally, Han Miao was still riding a horse, while Zhen Qiong could only sit in the car and watch helplessly.It wasn't that he didn't want to ride, it was because he couldn't get on the horse, and was forced to climb up, and his legs were so weak that he had no choice but to ride in a miserable state.

The Han family's carriage is not luxurious, but a light carriage for long-distance travel.Although the shockproof is simple, it is better because the road is flat and it is relatively stable to sit up.It didn't take long for the group to arrive at the East Street where there are many shops.

Riding his horse to the window, Han Miao said with a smile to Zhen Qiong: "The seasoning shop in front is my family's. Recently, new sugar has just been put on the market. Brother, can you go and have a look?"

Ningbing and Baishuang have been sold for a while, but the business in the shop is still booming.On the one hand, this is the result of Sanfang's panic buying, and on the other hand, it benefits from the spread of the two "famous dishes" of "Carp Leaping over the Dragon's Gate" and "Double Champion".In addition to the common people in Anyang, major restaurants have also started to buy new sugar one after another, making this unique business even more prosperous.And the people he sent to Tokyo also established a relationship with Fan Lou. As long as Fan Lou launched the corresponding dishes, Xin Tang would be able to open up the situation in Tokyo.

Wait for the sugarcane gardens on Fujian Road to settle down, and the new season of sugarcane will be harvested.Directly adopting the method taught by Zhen Qiong to make sugar will inevitably cost less, speed up, and the income will also increase to a higher level.

Each pile of piles is his own proud work, even Han Miao can't help but want others to see it.

"What's so good about sugar? Don't go!" Zhen Qiong answered simply.

Han Miao: "..."

Shaking his head helplessly, he said with a smile: "Then let's go to Liuli Shop first, and you can go to Washe after shopping."

Zhen Qiong was not interested in what Washe was at all, all she wanted was to see how many glass wares she could see, and whether she should take the opportunity to buy a set back.However, when he arrived at the place, Zhen Qiong was completely dumbfounded when he saw the exquisite and gorgeous utensils in the room.Why is the shop full of hairpins and accessories that are as opaque as jade, as well as particularly gorgeous large pots and bottles, not to mention their shapes, they are all colored glass!

After picking left and right for a long time, Zhen Qiong finally found a more transparent one, picked it up and knocked, but the sound was not quite right.Could it be made of lead?This is not resistant to high temperature, so it can't be used for alchemy!

"Why, no one you like?" Han Miao asked curiously as he saw Zhen Qiong running around like a headless chicken.

"The color is impure, and it's not heat-resistant. Isn't there glass like that rose water bottle?" Zhen Qiong was speechless. Didn't it mean that this is the largest glass shop in Xiangzhou?Only this kind of stuff?

Han Miao immediately understood that what Zhen Qiong wanted was actually glass.Turning his head, he said to the shopkeeper who was standing beside him: "Does your store have glass bottles from Dashi? It doesn't need to be too big, just a little more transparent."

The shopkeeper recognized Han Miao, and immediately said: "It turns out that what the official Han wants is a large food glass. The shop just entered a clever one, so I brought it to the official."

After saying that, he went to the back hall in person, and came back with an exquisite brocade box after a while.Putting the box on the table, the shopkeeper opened it respectfully, and said with a smile: "Two distinguished guests, take a look, I wonder if this gourd bottle is acceptable?"

Zhen Qiong's eyes lit up. The bottle in the box was only a foot high, and the transparency was quite good. It had a big belly and a long neck. It seemed to be usable?He immediately took it out, looked it up and down, stretched out his hand to flick it, and nodded in satisfaction: "How did you sell this bottle?"

The shopkeeper had a smile on his face, and boasted quite proudly: "This bottle is really a big food product. Dare I say, even in the capital, I can't find a second one! Because the Taoist priest was brought by Han Daguan. It’s cheaper for distinguished guests, only 86 taels of silver.”

He said "silver," not "money."Nowadays, all the coins used in the market are discounted coins, usually no more than [-] Wen, while the exchange rate of silver is about [-] Wen for one tael, which is almost equal to two Tongs.It is indeed a product from Dashi, and the price is indeed more expensive than ordinary glassware, Han Miao nodded secretly.

Zhen Qiong was a little confused: "Wait, one bottle costs 86 sticks?"

Is this burnt with gold? 86 passes!It is more expensive than the alchemy stove!

The shopkeeper's face froze, and he apologized with a smile: "The guest officer may have heard it wrong. It's not 86 guan, it's 86 taels of silver, and the discount is 160 guan..."

Zhen Qiong almost threw the bottle out of her hand, how much?

Seeing his trembling hands, Han Miao knew that Xiaodao was shocked by the price, so he took the bottle and took a closer look: "It really is a high-quality product."

The bottle is bright and clean, not to mention, there are silk-wrapped lines and two grape vines on it, which is extremely exquisite.

The shopkeeper immediately laughed and said: "Mr. Han really has good eyesight! This small shop is absolutely innocent, and such a clear bottle is rare!"

"No! Too expensive, too expensive!" Zhen Qiong shook her head repeatedly, stood up and left.

Seeing his distraught appearance, Han Miao smiled, put the bottle back in the box, charged the shopkeeper, and chased him out.When I went out, I saw Zhen Qiong standing in front of the gate, muttering with straight eyes: "Isn't it an obvious robbery?"

Stone?Han Miao narrowed his eyes, and asked with a smile, "Could it be that my brother also knows how to burn glass?"

"I haven't tried it. The required furnace temperature is too high, and the small furnace in the temple can't reach it." Zhen Qiong hadn't come back to her soul, and only groaned twice in grief.He knew that glassware was quite expensive, and there were several sets in the temple back then. Master's precious ones were like lifeblood, and they had to be cleaned by the two senior brothers together, and they must not be damaged.But the glass of this Song Dynasty is too dark, right? 160 runs!You might as well sell him!

What he said was "I haven't tried it", not "I don't understand", and Han Miao suddenly became concerned.But this is not the place to ask in detail, he changed the subject with a smile: "Since we don't buy glass anymore, let's go to Washe for a while. Watch a puppet show, have some refreshments, and then find a restaurant for dinner."

Zhen Qiong was in a daze at the moment, so she didn't have the mood to ask what Washe was, and when she heard the word "tea point", she followed Han Miao in a daze.As a result, when he passed through the tall gate building and entered the so-called "wazi", he was stunned and stopped.

Isn't it just to eat a snack? How did you go to the temple fair?In the huge courtyard wall, several small buildings are crowded together, and there are many sheds built in the open air. There are vendors setting up stalls everywhere, selling snacks, fruits, drinks and tea, and selling toys of all kinds. You can even see stalls selling haircuts and selling medicine!As far as I can see, there are crowds of people, gongs and drums are shaking the sky, and there are many colorful tricks, so dense that it makes people dizzy!

What holiday is it today?Could it be that all the people in Anyang have come here?What should I do if I get lost while wandering around this kind of place?Zhen Qiong, who is a straight-forward official way, dares to go, but if he goes the other way, he will be turned back at worst.However, he doesn't want to get involved in this kind of complicated terrain with twists and turns!

Xu Shi noticed Zhen Qiong's bewilderment, and Han Miao smiled and took his arm: "Your brother, go this way."

"!!!" Suddenly being grabbed by the hand, Zhen Qiong wanted to make money, but was afraid of being scattered by the crowd, so she could only follow Han Miao closely, and walked into a small building after a while.

This building is divided into upper and lower floors. On the stage below, there is a well-dressed woman standing at the moment, babbling and singing something.Han Miao took Zhen Qiong up to the second floor without even looking at her.He had already decided on Qinglongtou, but it was a good location facing the stage, and there were no busy people waiting at the moment, so it was the most suitable for watching a show and drinking tea.

After being sent to the seat by Han Miao, Zhen Qiong regained consciousness in a daze.Looking down at the downstairs, he found that the building seemed to be quieter than the outside. Although there were applause, it was not so noisy.

Seeing him looking around, Han Miao explained with a smile: "Today, this booth is playing the hanging silk puppet, and when the girl finishes singing this song, it's time for the show."

Han Miao had carefully selected this fence.With Zhen Qiong's personality, she might not be interested in storytelling, playing and singing, Zhugong tunes and so on.The sumo wrestling and acrobatics are too intense, but the puppet show is still lively, suitable for those who are new to Wazi to relax and rest.

After speaking, he asked the boy to order some refreshments.Not long after, a pile of food was put on the table, not only chestnut cake, crystal soap, seven treasure buns, etc., but also famous snacks such as ten-color sugar, plum ginger, etc., colorful and dazzling. It looks very attractive.

Seeing the food, Zhen Qiong immediately raised her chopsticks, wanting to put some delicious food first to calm the shock.Seeing him eating quickly, Han Miao couldn't help laughing and said: "Don't eat too much, after the puppet show is over, you have to go to the restaurant."

Hearing that there was still a pause, Zhen Qiong really slowed down and focused on the stage.The girl who sang the song left the stage after a while, and a few puppets turned to the front stage and started dancing.It's all controlled by hanging wires, and occasionally there are no people, singing and fighting, and occasionally some thunder and smoke float out, it's really lively.Zhen Qiong also gradually became interested, and even stopped her chopsticks when she saw something interesting.

This appearance really looks like a squirrel stuffing something into its mouth while distracted.Han Miao couldn't stop laughing, and poured a glass of lychee cream for him with a smile, and introduced: "This Sun Er's giant spirit is the most interesting, and there will be a trick later..."

Han Miao hadn't finished speaking when a shrill, piercing laugh suddenly came from the side: "Who am I to tell you? It turns out that Dalang from Xihan!"

This greeting was extremely rude, Han Miao turned his head and looked at the speaker.I saw a young man of modest stature walking up to him arrogantly.Not far away, there are a few boys of similar age, who are looking at this side with great interest.

These provocative words did not anger Han Miao, but instead he smiled apologetically, "I'm really sorry, may I ask who is your lord?"

These words immediately made the other party look like a pig's liver, and the boy clenched his fists and said angrily: "I am Han Lianqian from the third room! Didn't you also study in ethnology at the beginning? Now you are pretending not to know!"

Han Miao pretended to be stunned: "So it's the sixth younger brother. I thought it was a bastard from some family. Why, you don't need to prepare for the exam this year?"

Han Lianqian gritted his teeth.What do you mean by that?Is it to laugh at him for failing to pass the test repeatedly, or to show off his luck that he passed the test in the first place?

However, there were many classmates standing behind him, Han Lianqian didn't want to lose face at this moment, he gritted his teeth reluctantly, and squeezed out a sentence: "What's so interesting about the exam, it's better to do business. My lord is now in charge of the tea shop, so naturally I have to learn from my father and brother about business management!"

Didn't his family's tea shop be taken from Xi Han?So what if you're smart, if you're not a direct descendant, you'll still have to give up your foundation if you don't have anyone to support you!When Han Lianqian said the words, he also regained his original confidence, and immediately turned his face up high, and his arrogance also became arrogant.

Han Miao was unmoved, and only sighed softly: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate to learn from your father and brother. Forget it, poverty can cultivate ambition."

Han Lianqian couldn't catch his breath, his lungs were about to explode, and he said angrily, "What do you mean by that? Are you jealous that the tea shop is in my third room's hands?!"

Han Miao raised his eyebrows: "Don't you know the current situation of the tea shop?"

Han Lianqian was dumbfounded, he really didn't know.What happened to the tea shop?It's only been two months, what can happen?Could it be that father and brother are really bad at business...

Seeing that bastard was choking on him, Han Miao stopped talking nonsense and smiled slightly: "I still have guests, so I won't accompany you. Sixth brother, please go ahead."

Han Lianqian was so angry that he held back his words, but left them in the empty space. He groaned angrily, "Young Master, I won't argue with you! People like you deserve to be accompanied by a child prostitute." Flower wine. When my lord takes charge of the business, I will let you know who is..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhen Qiong spat out with a "poof", and the snack crumbs rushed into his throat, which made him cough involuntarily.Han Miao immediately started to pat him on the back, and looked at Han Lianqian with a cold gaze: "The Taoist priest is a distinguished guest of my family, Liu Lang is careful."

Han Lianqian had never seen such a gloomy expression on Han Miao's face, so he stopped talking in fright.What's going on?Han Miao brought a boy with such a figure and figure to visit the tiles, and poured tea and vegetables with incomparable hospitality. He looked like a close friend, what kind of distinguished guest could he be?

Han Miao didn't let him go, and said coldly, "It's not the son's fault to teach the father. Since your parents can't control your mouth, brother, you can ask someone to help you."

As he spoke, he raised his chin to the people around him, and Anping immediately surrounded him with his servants.Han Lianqian didn't expect that Han Miao would look like this when he was angry. He was so frightened that he didn't dare to say a word, and fled downstairs with his tail between his legs.

Seeing that idiot left, Han Miao lowered his head and asked apologetically, "Is my brother all right?"

The author has something to say: Han Miao: Do ​​you really want to buy it?

Daoist Zhen: Don't burn money even if you have money! !

Ahem, I found that some people are a little uncertain about the value of money. The purchasing power of money in the Song Dynasty was still very strong. The monthly salary of the county magistrate was only 15 guan (equivalent to about 4500 RMB, not counting benefits), and more than 100 guan was equal to 3 to 4 one The glass bottle, Qiongqiong thinks it is expensive and there is nothing wrong with it XD
