Chapter 21 Old Daoists and Children

The most prosperous places in Chang'an are the East City and the West City.

Because the East City is close to the three royal residences of Tai Chi Palace, Daming Palace and Xingqing Palace, there are many houses of princes, nobles and nobles in the surrounding yards, and most of them are rare and luxurious goods in all directions. The West City is the real daily commodity trading club, especially it is close to Kaiyuanmen on the Chang'an Silk Road. There are many foreign merchants living in the surrounding yards, which is an international trade market. There are merchants from Central Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Koryo, Baekje, Silla, Japan and other countries and regions, among which the Hu merchants are the most.

As soon as Pei Min entered the western market, he was fascinated by the prosperity of the street market.

Vendors from all over the world, foreign traders and foreign residents: people come and go, and they gather in a long queue, and on these ordinary days they are as lively as the New Year and the Festival.

Pei Min was worried that Xiaolimao was crowded and had already dismounted and led her to walk.

After visiting several shops, most of the teas in the Tang Dynasty are divided into four types: coarse tea, loose tea, powder tea, and cake tea. The production process is completely different from the green tea he often drank in later generations. Pei Min asked a lot, was there any tea that could be brewed directly and drunk directly. As a result, the shopkeeper looked at Pei Min with a look of the country bumpkin and said, "Can you put on the tea without the onions, ginger, and pepper?"

After asking for advice, Pei Min learned that the tea in the Tang Dynasty was for seasonings: if you like spicy flavor, add onions, ginger, peppercorns, sweet flavor, add jujube, mint, ornamental peel, or mint, or milky flavor, or you can make crispy cheese, etc. The most unacceptable thing is that you make butter, lard, and mutton oil. It is also a way to drink it.

Pei Min really couldn't imagine what the scene of a cup of oily tea is

The tea here cannot be brewed directly. Most people who brew tea directly are sick, because before tea is popular, tea is a kind of medicine, and only patients will drink it. By the way, they will chew the tea leaves and take it.

Pei Min didn't want to be an alternative in the eyes of others. She bought some of the four kinds of teas to see which types are similar to the green tea in later generations. In addition, she bought some mint. Compared with teas with spicy, sweet, milky and cool taste, it is easier to accept some.

After buying the items you need, Pei Min didn't plan to go back like this. Since he came to the most prosperous street market in the world, wouldn't it be a loss if he didn't take a good look at it?

He held Xiaolimao and looked around, looking at the fresh things that were not available in later generations, went up to touch and play, and didn't spend money to buy them, just for fun.

Suddenly, an old Taoist priest with a young face rushed out of the corner of the street and alley in panic. The old Taoist priest's beards were all silver-white, but his face was flushed and he ran like flying. He could not tell his age at all. He rushed out of the alley and avoided the crowd on the street, but he ran away in just a few breaths. Then, another group of ferocious monks rushed out of the corner of the street. Seven of them were young and strong, and they were like old dogs in summer. They stuck their tongues and panted in anger. Some of them shouted: "Where is the stinky Taoist priest, where did the stinky Taoist priest die?"

They looked around and saw that there were still figures of old Taoist priests.

The monks were particularly domineering. They grabbed the pedestrian and asked if they saw an old Taoist priest. They had a bad attitude and were very cruel.

Pei Min deliberately walked past them.

A monk stood in front of him and said sternly: "Did you see an old Taoist priest wearing Taoist uniforms and running like an old dog."

Pei Min thought to himself, you are the old dogs, and pointed to the opposite direction and said, "I just ran over there in a Taoist uniform. I don't know if it's the old Taoist priest you are looking for."

The evil monks looked at each other and chased each other in the direction Pei Min said.

People around them were disgusted with the evil monk's barbarity, and even if anyone saw the whereabouts of the old Taoist priests, they would not tell them.

Pei Min did not care about this and continued to travel to his western market.

After walking in more than ten stores, Pei Min was also very eye-opening. There were no fewer rare things in this era than in later generations. There were many new and strange things, and he didn't even know what they used.

Before he knew it, he came to the food and accommodation street, surrounded by restaurants and hotels. Pei Min didn't feel hungry yet, thinking of walking across this street and seeing what else was fun. Suddenly, the street was clamoring, and a horrifying cry came from the top.

Pei Min felt a little surprised and looked up and saw that outside the window of the three-story restaurant next to him, a year-old child grabbed the window eaves with his hands and kicked his legs, and there was a risk of falling off at any time.

There was a woman in front of the window who wanted to pull the child, but the child had a free hand to pick up the woman's hand.

Pei Minxin complained that the child's strength was limited, so it was not easy for him to hold the window eaves with both hands. But he was empty, and his whole body was hung on his hand, so he could not support him.

Sure enough! The child had a blank hand and fell down from the thorn. He just hung it with his hand, and there was a possibility of falling off at any time.

"The child is strong, and he may not be able to catch him if he really falls down. He is injured by a small amount. It will be a bad thing if he breaks the child's hands and feet or hurts his life."

Seeing that there was a protruding sunshade on the right, Pei Min didn't care about anything else, he stepped on Xiaolimao's horse's back and jumped onto the sunshade, and was about to climb up the second floor along the sunshade to pick up the child.

But the child could no longer hold on and fell down.

Pei Min immediately made a decision to use force under his feet, rushed forward with the elastic force of the awning, intercepted him in the air, twisted his body to protect the child in his arms, and then knocked his back into the window on the second floor.

Pei Min only felt the vest was so hot that it hurt. He looked at the almost scared child in his arms and smiled slightly, "Is it okay?"

The child had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and big ears, and looked mature, but he seemed a little scared. He was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses and cried loudly.

Pei Min smiled relievedly, held him in his arms and walked upstairs.

There was a group of people upstairs, and the beautiful woman fell to the ground for some reason, constantly moving.

The child cried and struggled down, ran towards the beautiful woman, shouting: "Mom, mom!"

The beautiful woman had no response.

The child looked at Pei Min with a sad face and begged, "Save my mother, save my mother!" But because Pei Min saved him like a hero, he regarded him as omnipotent.

The child looked extremely pitiful, Pei Minyi looked embarrassed, he was not a doctor, he was really helpless in this regard, thinking about whether he wanted to carry the woman to the clinic
