Chapter 38 The Only Era

In the evening, the store began to clean up the goods and prepare to close the door, while Li Cangyu began to register the accounts.

Everything was like yesterday, as if nothing had happened. But Li Cangyu felt that he had experienced the first "ups and downs" after coming to the Tang Dynasty.

Just today, he truly has his own life positioning and has an unstoppable pursuit of his goal even in the name of love.

He didn't want to be a salted fish anymore. He decided to be determined.

This kind of day should be revealed!

So when Li Cangyu was doing the tent, he called Gao Ju to his side so that he would not have to eat in the store today. No matter whether the drunken and wretched man came or not, the two brothers had to go out for a luxury today and have a drink!

Before the account was finished, the wretched came indeed and kept smashing the store door there, "Open the door, open the door! I am your shopkeeper's friend!"

Li Cangyu kept getting funny. Do you know what the shopkeeper’s surname is?

The guy hurriedly opened the door and invited the "big shopkeeper's friend" who could not afford to offend.

Li Cangyu asked Gao Ju to make a cup of tea for him, "Sit down for a while, I still have some things to do."

"It's easy to say." The wretched man smiled and took a sip of the tea, "Hey, this tea is so special!"

"Hey, you're writing this well!"

"You really shouldn't behave like a person, hahaha!"

Li Cangyu grinned, this guy was so annoying!

Even Gao Zhen couldn't stand it, "My brother is taking the account, please be quiet."

"Little brother, don't be so fierce!" said the despicable man with a smile, "I am your brother's friend, do you know?"

"My friend is a big deal!" Gao Jue is straightforward, "My brother doesn't know you!"

The vulgar man was anxious, "Oh! Who said he didn't know him?"

"Then, what's my brother's name? Whose person?"

The vulgar man smiled, "Let me, Hao Ren, what's your name, little brother? And brother Ling, is the big name of Gao?"

"Good person? Hahaha!" Gao Bai laughed, "You are not a good person at first glance!"

Li Cangyu couldn't bear it anymore, "You two, go out for me!"

These two guys went out in shame, and Li Cangyu finally got to a clean end. She took some time to get the account done, and then walked out of the study room.

Gao Ju and that "Hao Ren" were actually chatting with each other with their arms around each other.

"Brother Ye, we must have a great drink tonight!" Hao Ren laughed loudly, "Oh, your brother is here."

Brother? He screamed so affectionately...

Li Cangyu was a little speechless. Why did these two people look like they met too late?

"Brother Alang, Brother Hao is very good!" Gao Bai came forward and said with a smile, "He said he would invite us to Hu Ji's wine shop, and there is enough wine and meat!"

Li Cangyu smiled, so you decisively defected to him?

"Let's go!"

The three of them went out together.

The guys in the store were envious, jealous and hated. Look at our shopkeeper. Every now and then, some people invite him to drink and meat, some give him gold coins, and some beauties come to pay homage to him! - He has only been here in Chang'an for a few days? It's so annoying!

After all kinds of entanglements and depressions, they began to wait for the shopkeeper to come back with anticipation - they might pack good wine and meat for us like that day!

According to Li Cangyu’s understanding over the past few days, Dongshi is a high-end commercial district in Chang'an, and the passenger flow is not as fierce as the West City. Looking at the entire Dongshi, the most popular one is Hu Ji Restaurant.

Once the market opened in the afternoon, those beautiful and unrestrained beards, wearing hot and sexy interracial costumes, played wonderful music at the door of their own restaurant and danced intrigue, attracting and attracting guests to enter the store to consume. But they just danced and sold wine, and at most drank a glass or two from familiar drinkers. This is completely different from the women in Pingkangfang.

At night, the door of Dongshi is closed, and Hu Ji’s Restaurant is the most lively place in the entire Dongshi. In addition to the merchants living in Dongshi, there are also many talented men, famous officials and nobles.

The three of them walked together to the northwest corner of the East City, where the restaurants were connected.

"Which one?" Li Cangyu asked Hao Ren. This guy was obviously a regular visitor here.

"Come with me."

Hao Ren also kept a close call, walked forward with his hands cut, and finally stopped in front of a shop with a "Sanle" plaque.

"Two little brothers, have you ever known what Sanle is?" Hao Ren asked.

Gao Ju's first reaction was to look up at his cousin.

Li Cangyu smiled, "I have heard that Sanle refers to Mole, Vili, and Helile. These are the fruits of three plants, which can be eaten and used as medicine. The fruit wine made from these three fruits is particularly delicious, and is called Sanle. This should be the method of brewing wine introduced from Persia."

"I am worthy of being the shopkeeper of the East City. I am indeed well-known." Hao Ren laughed and said with a smile, "In fact, after the Persian Sanle wine brewing was introduced into the Central Plains, we Tang people created many kinds of Sanle pulp according to this method. But no matter how we imitate or improve it, we can never surpass the authentic Sanle pulp transported from the far Western Regions and thousands of miles away."

"Is this store authentic?" Li Cangyu looked at the "Sanle" brand and thought that the wine shipped from such a distance must be super expensive!

Hao Ren smiled arrogantly and stepped forward and knocked on the door.

After the door of the house is half closed, the whole city is covered by curfew, and Hu Ji’s wine shop and Pingkangfang are closed for business. These are the rules and unspoken rules that all people in Chang'an know.

The door opened, and a woman in red dressed bearded with a body wrapped in flames came out, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, deep frame, green eyes, and long eyelashes curled up, and she was charming and wild, and extremely beautiful.

"Hao Ren, you are here!" Hu Nv opened her arms, gave Hao Ren some extremely warm hugs, and kissed him on the face.

Li Cangyu was stunned on the spot. I always thought that the flavor of Hu Ji Restaurant would be much lighter than Pingkangfang... This girl is more flaming than charcoal!

Gao Ju was very nervous, and he wanted to hide behind Li Cangyu when he looked like that.

"Haha, let go, let go!" Hao Ren laughed and said to Li Cangyu, "Don't be surprised, this is my love. Kang Naji, come and meet my two friends. Li Cangyu, Gao Ju."

Li Cangyu and Gao Ju were relieved and had seen Kang Naji.

"Naji" is a commonly used name for Hu women in the Tang Dynasty, and its meaning is roughly equivalent to "beautiful woman".

Kang Naji led the three of them into the restaurant. There were more than ten drinkers in the store, sitting in a small room separated by a small fence and drinking. In the main hall, there were two men with curly beards and big beards playing music. Hao Ren said that they were Kang Naji's father and uncle.

"Are they from Kang Guo from the Western Regions?" Li Cangyu asked.

"Yes." Hao Ren said, "I have been to Chang'an for more than ten years and have never been back."

Li Cangyu nodded. The surname "Kang" is a relatively common surname among the Hu people in Chang'an. It comes from the Kang State of the Western Regions and belongs to one of the nine surnames of Zhaowu.

Kang Naji took the three of them to a small room and sat down. Someone in the adjacent room set up a screen, but no one could be seen. So Kang Naji also asked them if they wanted to set up a screen.

Hao Ren waved his hand carelessly, "You shouldn't have asked this. I never put any screens on it. It's the main thing to serve us wine and meat!"

"I know!" Kang Naji kissed him on the face again, sang and danced, and left like a dancing flame elf.

Li Cangyu seemed to understand why the business of Hu Ji’s wine shop was so good. With such a cheerful and enthusiastic Hu Ji, it was easy to infect every drinker in the store, making them forget their sorrows and drink happily. No wonder Li Bai spent most of his time in Chang'an in the Hu Ji’s wine shop.

"They, and Kang Naji," Hao Ren pointed to the two Hu men playing music in the hall, and said, "I dreamed of becoming a real Tang man."

"They have been here for so many years, but have no household registration?" Li Cangyu asked.

"That doesn't matter." Hao Ren smiled and shook his head, "Household registration is not a problem for them. As long as they have not committed crimes, they can easily apply for a merchant's household registration after operating a restaurant in Chang'an for a period of time."

Li Cangyu couldn't help but ask curiously: "So any other request?"

Hao Ren smiled and pointed to his chest, "Only when a complete change occurs here can they become a real Tang people!"

Li Cangyu was slightly stunned, and a huge amount of information suddenly surged in his mind. At the same time, he also understood what Hao Ren meant with his fingers.

There were many Hu people in the Tang Dynasty, and there was no less than one-tenth of the population in Chang'an City, and they were Hu people. The biggest goal of most of them was to become a real "Tang people".

But what they long for is definitely not a "household registration".

Be able to speak Chinese and know Chinese characters, accept the customs of the Tang Dynasty, understand the culture of the Tang Dynasty, and regard yourself as a Tang Dynasty person from the bottom of your heart. Such a person, as long as you say you are a "Tang Dynasty person", then you are.

Whether or not you have a household registration does not matter at all.

Race is not distinguished by appearance, race and blood, but judged from the "cultural" level. This is the unique ethnic policy and national concept of the Tang Dynasty.

It is precisely because the Tang Dynasty had such an open national policy and inclusive social atmosphere that countless Hu people were integrated into the Chinese nation. Among them, there were many heroes and generals, celebrities and talents who left their names in history. In addition to bringing wealth and wisdom from all over the world to the Tang Dynasty, they are also constantly expanding the Tang Dynasty's mind and vision.

Now, gold coins from the Roman Empire, glass from Venetian, scimitar from the Grand Swordscus, fine wine from Persian, monks from India, painters from Khotan, musicians from Kucha, Japanese students, Silla maid Kunlun slaves... Yun Jiyuan was used by the Tang Dynasty!

The Tang Dynasty, which opens its heart to embrace the world, is also laughing and proud in the world. The Tang Dynasty's civilization has spread all over the world. Many "Chinatowns" will be passed down for thousands of years from now on and will never be erased.

Now is the only glorious era in China that was ahead of the world in all aspects and overall.

only.

But this glorious era will soon be heading towards a complete end because of the "Anshi Rebellion"!

Thinking of this, Li Cangyu couldn't help but groan.

"Where is the wine?!"
