Chu Tang: Tell Li Er at the beginning that I am a time traveler

Chapter 556 See you for the first time
For Li Chong, not being able to sleep with a woman in his arms for ten days and a half months is really a kind of torture for him.

but……

Taking this opportunity, Li Chong could learn about the various customs and customs of Datang along the way.

His teacher, Liu Gongquan, to be honest, Li Chong didn't want to take him with him.

only……

It seems that if he doesn't take it with him, it seems unreasonable for him to go out on his own as a child.

then……

This time, it was Liu Gongquan, Li Zixing, and the guards arranged for him by Aye.

The first half of the road is easy to walk, just go directly to the steam locomotive.

In the second half of the road, we will go out on horseback.

At first Liu Gongquan told the truth, he was a little worried, after all, Li Chong had never ridden a horse before.

But seeing Li Chong sitting on the saddle, to be honest, Liu Gongquan seemed to feel that his worries were a bit unnecessary.

because……

It doesn't even look like you haven't ridden a horse, Your Highness.

possible……

Even more proficient than Li Zixing.

From the station to the summer resort of his imperial grandfather, there are only a few tens of miles in total. If it is fast, it will take half a day at most.

but……

After all, it was the first time to travel far away, so Li Chong dawdled the whole way.

because……

He also wanted to see how the people were doing after leaving Luoyang.

Be reasonable!
Today's Chang'an is not what it was 100 years ago.

Chang'an 100 years ago may have a large population and prosperity, and even the business was not bad at all.

Now...

Chang'an has no way to compare with Luoyang.

can only say……

When he went to the Second City of East and West, he felt much more depressed than what he saw 100 years ago.

Of course!
It doesn't mean that there is no one left.

It's the business in Luoyang, just like the New Year's time in the market, and Chang'an, it's normal, even at noon.

I casually went to West Market for a while.

It can only be said that there are all kinds of things for sale.

For example, those who sell birds, those who sell puppies.

For example, selling dogs of the same breed as Xiaotian dogs.

This kind of dog was often used by the nobles of the Tang Dynasty for hunting.

Then chickens, ducklings, and some rough cloth, the cloth is so poor, and it is still sold on the street stalls, so I guess it can only be used as a rag when I buy it back.

And dog skin plaster.

And all kinds of dried goods after drying.

There are even silkworm baby sellers.

can only say……

It's really only you can't think of it, and you can't buy it without it.

But generally speaking, Li Chong felt that he was more inclined towards Hu Feng.

although……

Now it seems that the camels are hardly seen anymore.

Instead, each person has a cart.

But there seems to be a lot of all kinds of utensils from the Western Regions.

Like some blankets full of exotic styles, as well as wreaths, beads and accessories full of barbarians.

And cheese, dried lamb, beef.

This beef is no longer considered a forbidden meat in Datang.

This is especially true if the yak meat is transported from Tubo or Tuyuhun.

"Teacher is in Chang'an, do you have property?"

Li Chong asked Liu Gongquan this way.

Liu Gongquan also replied: "Why do you ask such a question, Your Highness?"

Li Chong said: "If there is, then I can get credit from you first. I have taken a fancy to a few beads, and I think they are very beautiful."

Liu Gongquan: "..."

Li Zhong: "There are also blankets. Although I definitely don't need them now, it will soon be autumn and then winter. It is relatively cheap to buy now."

Li Zixing also said: "If Your Highness wants to buy it, then I have the money."

Li Chong: "I forgot about you!"

To say rich.

Who could be richer than Li Zixing?

Every state in the Tang Dynasty has the Li family's property.

Seeing Li Chong's various purchases, Liu Gongquan didn't say anything.

As for the reason why you don't speak...

Probably also saw that Li Chong didn't seem like the kind of person who would be slaughtered casually.

and……

The things that Li Chong usually likes, to be honest, can't be said to be very valuable.

For example:

Just buy a silkworm baby to observe and observe, which can cost a few dollars.

There are falcons for sale, but they are quite expensive.

But Li Zhong just watched but didn't buy.

From this, Liu Gongquan can also see that regarding the spending of money, I don't know if His Highness is doing it on purpose, or if he likes something special.

Anyway...

He always seems to pick the less expensive ones.

When he arrived at the place where pens, inks, papers and inkstones were sold, Li Chong took a second look aggressively.

Maybe the quality is not good enough.

after all……

It's too far behind the one who came up with the tribute.

and so……

After just two glances, Li Chong left silently.

period……

Li Chong also saw that there were tofu nao for sale, but after tasting it, it turned out to be salty. Li Chong tasted it twice, then gave it to Li Zixing, and said, "Don't waste it!"

Liu Gongquan couldn't help thinking, if you don't like it, don't buy it.

This is good, Li Zixing has become a big grievance.

The essential……

Li Zixing didn't dare to say it yet, I won't drink it.

It was just one person who drank for two people.

Fortunately, I didn't eat too much before.

But during this period, what made Liu Gongquan feel rare was...

Your Highness actually knows 'don't waste'.

although……

His Highness's phrase 'don't waste' seems somewhat hypocritical.

If you don't want to waste, then you can lead by example.

Letting someone else drink it for you is nothing.

If he finishes saying 'don't waste it' and drinks it with his own nose.

Then Liu Gongquan's evaluation of him will definitely be a little higher.

after that……

Let Li Chong see that there is a caramel seller.

to be frank!
You can put the caramel in the tofu brain and try it.

only……

If you miss it, you will miss it!
Then there is no way!
When he came to a place that sold vegetables, melons and fruits, Li Chong would always ask the price of everything.

can only say……

I feel that the price seems to be okay, except for a few rare vegetables and melons and fruits, which may indeed be a bit more expensive, but most of them are still within the acceptable range.

of course!

In fact, the price is not the most important thing.

The most important thing is that there are no 'urban management' to squeeze the people.

This is not!

When Li Chong was buying watermelons, he saw some bullying the market, eating melons without giving money.

it's over...

The boss had to please the other party and pay the other party protection fees.

Li Chong looked at it, and the other party seemed to be just a petty official.

That is to say, the melon is selling well, so the protection fee will be paid as soon as it is paid.

But what if one day, this melon can't be sold?

So what do you use to feed these moths?
Li Zhong gnawed on the melon, and he was very calm.

Liu Gongquan also looked at Li Chong's reaction.

Be reasonable!
This is the first time he has seen such a thing.

after all……

He never went out to buy by himself before.
