Chapter 4: Settlement in Chang'an

Chang'an County yamen.

"Name? ancestral home?" An official in charge of Chang'an County asked Yi Fan in front of him.

"Yi Fan, ancestral home is Chang'an." Yi Fan was very nervous. Don't make yourself a slave or something, that would be a tragedy.

The official recorded Yi Fan's basic information and looked up and said, "Little kid, I'll tell you, you should go to other counties outside Chang'an City to settle down!"

"Why?" Yi Fan was very puzzled.

"Let me tell you this. Our Chang'an County and Wannian County belong to Cheng'an County and have no land for you. If you settle in another county and the court will give you some land, but you may need to open up the land by yourself."

Yi Fan shook his head decisively, saying, "What a joke, how could he do things like land cultivation, as a modern person? The most important thing is that he can't do anything."

Seeing Yi Fan shook his head, the officials stopped persuading him. Due to the wars in the past few years, the population had sharp declines, and the court had various policies to increase the population.

For example, if a man and a woman are not married when she is a certain age, the court will force sexual marriage. As a single dog, she envies the Tang Dynasty's policy. No wonder so many people want to dream of returning to the Tang Dynasty.

In recent years, those who fled into the mountains to avoid war have begun to come out one after another when they saw that the world was peaceful. So officials who came to register their household registration like Yi Fan were not surprised, but most of them would choose counties with land to divide. It is rare for Yi Fan to do this.

Yi Fan was unwilling to go to other counties, so the officials naturally would not persuade him. The increase in the population under his rule was a political achievement, although there was only one person.

After leaving the county government office, Yi Fan looked at the household registration document he had just completed, which read: (Yi Fan, a Chang'an native, settled in Chang'an County on April 25, 10th year of Zhenguan.) Finally, he knew the specific year and month. He didn't expect that he had arrived in the Zhenguan period, and he didn't know what the emperor Li Shimin looked like. This was an era where many great people were as numerous as dogs and famous officials walked all over the ground.

Shaking your head makes you no longer think about what you have. The most important thing now is to find a place to live and fill your already shriveled belly.

I just found an inn, learned from the TV series, and threw a few copper coins to the waiter, asking him to take good care of Daqingniu.

Entering the inn hall is completely different from the inn in the TV series I imagined. There are no square tables or high stools inside.

Some of them only have low tables, or one person. People kneel and sit at the low table to eat and drink.

I found a low table without anyone, and I was very uncomfortable with it and couldn't stand it after a while, so I had to sit cross-legged, which made me much more comfortable, although it was not as comfortable as a modern sofa.

A waiter came over and saw Yi Fan's sitting posture, a hint of contempt flashed in his eyes, because kneeling in ancient times was a kind of etiquette. Yi Fan was a purely humiliating and rude person, and people around him also looked at him strangely.

I didn't care about other people's opinions, as long as I felt comfortable, I said to the waiter: "Give me a set of heroes."

The waiter was stunned for a moment. What's the thing? The hero's package?

"This guest official, that, I don't know what the hero's package is?" The waiter obviously lacked confidence and said.

He responded to the waiter's contempt look, cleared his throat and said, "What the heroes do is set, the heroes travel around the world, and they must order food whenever they go."

The waiter bent down to salute and humbly asked, "I wonder how much this hero's set meal is?"

"One pound of beef, two ounces of peanuts, and a jar of daughter-red, just serve the remaining good wine and good dishes."

The waiter started to get messy again. He knew about the beef and his daughter Hong, but what kind of rice is this peanut?

"Well, this guest official, what you said is that the only daughter-in-law is the one you said. There is only the word "good wine and good dishes" in the next sentence. There is no beef shop, and I dare not have it. As for the peanuts, the little one has never even heard of it."

"Forehead"

Yi Fan was a little embarrassed, and then he remembered that it seemed that peanuts were still in the American continent.

Of course, he would not admit that it was his own mistake. He shook his head and sighed: "Oh, a small place is a small place, and there is not even peanuts. I can understand that there is no peanuts, why don't there even beef?"

The waiter was completely speechless. A small place? Damn, if the Chang'an place is a small place, then what kind of place should be the big place? Although the inn where he works is not a big inn, he is quite well-informed in Chang'an City. If other big restaurants have peanuts, he would not have known it.

Also, this person didn't know where he came from, but he didn't even know that he killed the cows privately and ate meat was illegal. Every cow in the Tang Dynasty was registered in the government.

"Kei Guan, beef is not something you can eat casually. Even if a cow from someone accidentally dies or is injured, it will be reported to the government."

Yi Fan thought to himself, your sister, TV series are all lies.

"This is not, that is not, then what are you all?"

‘Single cage of golden milk crispy, onion and vinegar chicken, warm and cold flower stuffed donkey steamed, steamed cakes, pancakes, Hu cakes, soup cakes, cut thorns, astragalus mutton….”

The waiter opened his mouth and saw a long list of dishes. Yi Fan was stunned and said in his heart: "Talent! In modern times, there shouldn't be many waiters who can recite the dishes in their own shop!"

Finally, Yi Fan ordered one, cut the thorn, Persian cuisine, and a bowl of soup cakes.

Soon the meal was served and I looked closely and said, "Cutting the scoundrel" was just sashimi. It was a relatively elegant food when put on modern times. Generally speaking, people don't eat much.

‘Persian cuisine’ is a dish of boiled spinach.

‘Soup cake’ is a bowl of gnocchi soup.

I picked up the chopsticks and prepared to taste the Tang Dynasty food. I just picked up a piece of fish and was about to put it in my mouth, but I was interrupted by a diner beside me.

"Little kid, this 'cutting shit' is not eaten like this."

Yi Fan turned his head and saw that he was an old man in his fifties. His face was withered, thin as a girl, and a very big belly. How could such a thin person have such a big belly, like a pregnant woman who was seven or eight months pregnant?

Seeing Yi Fan looking at him in confusion, the old man picked up a piece of fish and dipped it in a bowl containing sauce. He slowly put it in his mouth, closed his eyes, and looked enjoyed.

"Little kid, have you seen it? The '黑花' should be eaten with the sauce."

Yi Fan looked at the old man's belly, then looked at the sashimi on the table, and suddenly put the sashimi in his hand back into the bowl.

Then I started to eat boiled spinach and the bowl of dumpling soup, and I stopped moving the sashimi.

Because Yi Fan thought of "schistosomiasis", this terrible creature that parasitizes fish and shrimps.

The taste of the dumpling soup is no different from that of modern times, but the boiled spinach is difficult to swallow. It is light and tasteless, lacks oil and salt. I didn’t expect that the diet of the Tang Dynasty was so backward.

Not long after, the old man next to him stood up and walked out the door. Yi Fan hurriedly threw down his chopsticks and followed him out.

"Old man, please stay."

The old man turned around and saw that it was Yi Fan, he frowned in confusion and said, "Little kid, what's the matter?"

Yi Fan stood two meters away from the old man, stopped moving forward, bowed and said, "Thank you, the old man just reminded you, for avoiding you from disaster."

The old man frowned even deeper. Before the old man could ask questions, Yi Fan pointed to the old man's stomach and said, "I'm afraid this old man has been sick for a long time, right?"

Although the old man was puzzled, Ren Shi replied: "I'm over a year."

"My uncle should not eat the sashimi again in the future. When you go home, take a small amount of croton and some things with mild toxins every day, which may be cured."

Unexpectedly, after hearing Yi Fan's words, the old man was furious, trembling with his hands, and pointed at Yi Fan and said, "What a vicious child, why do you want to die? If you don't tell me why, I will not give you a break."

Yi Fan was confused and kindly reminded him that this late-stage patient of schistosomiasis had become a person who harmed him? Did people in ancient times be so ungrateful?
