The first legitimate son of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 5 Asking Chang'an City

"Bastard, what are you talking about? This gentleman saved your son's life, and you want to let him go with just a thank you. Although my Liu family is not from a scholarly family, this is not how I taught you?"

Liu Fangzi's words suddenly made Liu Xiatian on the side look unhappy.

After being scolded by his father, Liu Fangzi was obviously unconvinced, but at this time, Li An quickly comforted him: "Dad, Brother Fangzi didn't target me like this on purpose.

The main reason is that I don't have a Talisman on me. The last time I was robbed by bandits, I dropped the Talisman when I escaped. Brother Fang Zi might be worried that I was a bad person, so he asked me to leave.

I think the child should be fine now, so I will leave first. "

With that said, Li An strode out the door. However, Li An was very sure that he would be stopped. Why... because the child in the room at this time was not completely out of danger.

The child's father Liu Fangzi is an upright man. In order to maintain the safety of the village, he will drive away the stranger Li An, but the child's grandfather Liu Xiatian will definitely not do it. The old man is getting old, not only is he getting older, but their city is also... Their thoughts are also accumulated bit by bit.

Liu Xiatian will definitely not let Li An leave until his grandson is out of danger.

Sure enough, before Li An reached the door, Liu Xiatian immediately spoke out to persuade him to stay: "Sir, don't leave, you are rude. Although our Liu family is not a scholarly family, we also know how to be grateful. You will give the old man's grandson If my son is saved, he will be the benefactor of my Liu family.

You are not going anywhere today, just rest at my Liu family and give my Liu family a chance to repay your kindness. "

"Dad, he doesn't have a talisman. He is probably a gangster." Liu Fangzi reminded loudly and anxiously.

However, Liu Xiatian snorted and scolded him: "Stupid, if this gentleman was a gangster, would he still save your son's life?
This gentleman saved your dying son with unparalleled medical skills. Does such medical skills require him to become a gangster? "

After Liu Xiatian finished speaking, Liu Fangzi's mother and wife also agreed, and some villagers standing outside also nodded. You must know that Huzi was about to die just now, and he was about to set off to Chang'an City to find a doctor, but when he waited As soon as Li An came, he was cured with one pill. With such medical skills, there is no need to be a gangster.

Moreover, many people do not have the Talisman Chuan. It is too troublesome to apply for it. In fact, most people do not have Talisman Chuan, so most people do not have Talisman Chuan in their hands.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Liu Fangzi was speechless. Then Liu Xiatian invited Li An into his home again, apologized politely to Li An, and asked Li An to rest at home.

Li An half-heartedly agreed to stay. About half an hour later, the Liu family's tiger's fever finally subsided and he no longer twitched. His originally flaming little face gradually became normal. .

At this time, the Liu family finally felt relieved and became even more grateful to Li An. They were extremely respectful to Li An. At this time, Li An began to ask about some situations here and in Chang'an City.

This is Huatian Village, about thirty miles west of Chang'an City, and is under the management of Chang'an County. Chang'an City has two county offices, the west side belongs to Chang'an County, and the east side belongs to Wannian County.

If you want to sell things, go to the East Market and West Market in Chang'an. The East Market is where more expensive things are sold, while the West Market is where groceries are sold. Of course, the West Market also has good things, but... The things sold in the West Market are more miscellaneous.

The West Market is also much more lively than the East Market, but the people in the West Market are very mixed. If you want to sell expensive things, you should go to the East Market. The security there is much better, because the East Market is close to the houses of the powerful, and there will be the Twelve Hours of Jinwu Guard there. patrol.

However, the opening hours of the East Market and West Market are very short, only six hours. They basically open at 11 o'clock and close at 17 o'clock, so when you go to sell things there, you must be careful about the time.

When night comes, a small oil lamp is lit on the Liu family's table. This small oil lamp is very interesting. It is made of pottery and is green in color. Why is this small oil lamp interesting? Because it is an oil-saving lamp.Some people don’t understand what a fuel-saving lamp is.

To put it simply, after the oil lamp is lit, the heat will be transferred from the lamp to increase the internal energy of the oil, increase the temperature, accelerate the evaporation of the oil, and increase fuel consumption.But the small oil lamp in front of Li An adds an interlayer to the oil lamp. Adding water to the interlayer can lower the oil temperature and save fuel.

It's just a pity that this is pottery. If it were porcelain, it would be valuable, but this pottery is really worthless.

"Sir.!" Liu Xiatian put a bowl of chicken on the table and said with a smile: "There is nothing to entertain you, sir. Fortunately, there is an egg-laying hen at home. If you kill it, you can give it to your husband as a toothpaste."

Li An frowned slightly. He felt something was wrong with the family just now. They kept muttering beside him. Li An thought they were worried about the child's condition. Now that he thought about it, they were probably discussing killing their own hens. You know, this hen Chickens, especially hens that can lay eggs, are definitely the treasures of common people.

Now that the Liu family is actually willing to kill their treasure, Li An is really moved.

"Uncle Liu. There's no need to kill the chicken!" Li An looked at Liu Xiatian apologetically, but Liu Xiatian showed a warm smile: "Sir, you saved my grandson's life, and you didn't receive any money. , I’m already very sorry for you if I kill a chicken for you to eat, so please don’t be polite, sir.”

After saying that, Liu Xiatian put a chicken leg into Li An's bowl, and the food was also brought up. To be honest, Li An had never seen this thing before. It was a kind of black rice. , Li An took a bite, it was delicious, it was fragrant, soft and smooth!

In fact, this is Diaohu, also called wild rice. It is a herbaceous plant that grows in shallow water. Its seeds are actually called wild rice.

Wild rice is easy to fall off, so it cannot be planted artificially. However, in the Tang Dynasty, people often picked it up and collected it. It can be made into carved rice, which is a top quality for entertaining guests.However, after the Song Dynasty, wild rice gradually disappeared, and after the Ming Dynasty, "diaohu rice" was no longer seen.

"It's delicious!" Li An exclaimed, and after seeing Li An say it was delicious, the Liu family also expressed relief.

Li An ate carved Hu rice, and the Liu family ate Hu pancakes. After Hu pancakes were introduced in the Han Dynasty, they gradually became popular among the people of the Tang Dynasty. They basically ate Hu pancakes for two meals a day, because Hu pancakes made people hungry, and It can be stored and carried as dry food. Scooping a bowl of stream water from the field and taking out the biscuits is a lunch.

After a bowl of rice, Li An only ate a chicken leg. When Liu Xiatian picked up the chicken for himself, Li An blocked Liu Xiatian and said: "Uncle Liu, it doesn't matter whether I eat or not. Huzi has just been seriously ill. Market, you need to eat more meat to replenish yourself, and leave these to the tigers. I only have one request, that is, I hope you can accompany me to Chang'an City East Market tomorrow. I want to sell something, and my daughter is also sick. She is much sicker than Huzi and is anxiously waiting for me to raise money for her to go back.

So I ask Uncle Liu to help me with this. "

"Sir, your daughter is also sick?" Madam Fang Zi on the side looked at Li An in surprise and asked.

"It's a very serious illness. I've been running around just to collect money for my daughter's treatment. This time I came to Chang'an alone for my daughter. My biggest regret is that I picked up my daughter. It's not my biological child. If it were my biological child, I can use my own blood to save my daughter!" At this point, Li An couldn't hold back the tears for a moment.

This scene also moved the Liu family. Li An's spirit of raising money for his daughter who has no blood relationship with him is really touching.

"Everything will be fine, Mr. Li." Liu Fangzi patted Li An on the back and said, "Tomorrow, I will drive you to Chang'an East City."

"Thank you...!" Li An quickly expressed his thanks. At this time, Liu Fangzi also looked at Li An and smiled and nodded. Liu Fangzi, who was still a little wary of Li An, truly accepted Li An.
