The first legitimate son of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 51 Dongshi Shop
The East Market of the Tang Dynasty is now open. There are carriages on both sides of the East Market. They are no less than the cars around some modern large shopping malls. Ordinary carriages cannot enter the East Market.

Basically, when the goods arrive at the entrance of Dongshi, you can only rely on your feet to carry them. Of course, if you have a clerk in your store, you can also ask the clerk to carry it. If there are few things, you can carry them in yourself.

This is the rule of the East Market, because the East Market is so big, and any carriage can go in, so what kind of transportation is there? Therefore, there is another business in the East Market, and that is walking on foot.

Group after group of shirtless big men with muscles all over their bodies are the foot power here, a bit like Bangbang. How much does it cost to help merchants load and move goods? You can also make a good income in a day.

But not just anyone can come here to get work. You have to join in and pay a monthly fee to get work. Every place in Chang'an City has its own rules, and it's not okay to not follow the rules.

"Boom. Boom.!"

When the opening drum of the East Market ends, the doors of the East Market will open wide. At this time, all the shops are ready, with their doors clean and ready to welcome customers.

Li An got off a carriage at this time, followed by Li Duoduo, Liu Yiyi and Liu Huzi. It was the first time for the three of them to come to Chang'an East City. The scenes along the way almost overwhelmed these three little ones. The guy looked stupid, especially when he saw some foreigners, and almost scared Liu Huzi to death.

Fortunately, Li Duoduo had seen the market and told Liu Huzi not to be afraid. They were foreigners. This made Liu Huzi less panicked. After Li An and the others came down, Liu Fangzi immediately shouted: "Liu Yi." .We are unloading goods here. Each person carries a basket, and the other carries a basket of fifty kilograms of rock candy. A total of ten baskets of five hundred kilograms. Everyone is following me. Wait a minute, there will be a lot of people. Don’t get lost. Our store is just in front. Next to the Persian mansion.

Do you understand? "

"Got it!" The men in Lijiacun responded immediately.

Afterwards, when the shopkeeper pushed open the shop door and everyone entered the East Market, Li An directly picked up Li Duoduo. Liu Huzi and Liu Yiyi followed Li An on both sides, and walked with a large group of people. Entered Dongshi.

The people who are going in now are the people who are buying things. The footworkers and the guys who move the goods in the store will wait later. After the crowd in front becomes smaller, the footworkers will also start their work at this time.

The east city is about 1000 meters, which is about one kilometer. There are two gates on each side of the city, a total of eight gates. There are 220 lines of merchandise sold in the east city. "The treasures from all directions are collected."

During the reign of Emperor Wuzong of the Tang Dynasty, a fire broke out in the East Market in the middle of the night, burning down more than 12 shops in 400 rows west of Caomen. From this, it is estimated that there are more than 30 shops in one row and 220 shops in the East Market. The total number of shops is estimated to be thousands. Imagine the prosperity of East Market at that time.

The east and west markets of Chang'an sell a wide range of things: such as grains, textiles, food, clothes, shoes and hats, leather, vegetables, fruits, aquatic products, seasonings, beverages, fuel, and meat. Category, daily necessities, production equipment, livestock and poultry, cultural supplies, transportation, building materials, furniture, medical supplies, funeral supplies, other groceries, luxury goods, special goods, etc. That's everything.

We must know that nearly half of the population of Chang'an relies on the two cities for a living, forming a complete industrial chain.

The most popular industries in the East Market are the catering industry, entertainment industry, jewelry industry, and brothel industry. Emerging industries such as pen shops, printing industries, and piano shops are also beginning to flourish. Chongrenfang has spawned the largest hotel street in Chang'an City.

Compared with the West Market, those who come to the East Market basically have to be of a lower status. The West Market is a gathering place for traffickers and lackeys. However, the East Market is different. The people who come here have a certain status, regardless of their status. Higher than West Market.

"Master Li!"

I had just arrived at Lao Jin's Persian residence. What I didn't expect was that Lao Jin was already waiting for Li An at the door.

"Mr. Jin!" Li An put down Li Duoduo and returned a cross-hand gesture to Lao Jin: "This time I would like to thank Mr. Jin for finding a good shop in our Lijia Village." "Haha. Easy to say, easy to say. I Lao Jin and Mr. Li are destined to be friends, and they will be friends from now on. As long as Mr. Li gives instructions, Lao Jin will spare no effort." When Lao Jin heard Li An's thanks, the corners of his mouth also turned up happily.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey. Li An would like to thank Mr. Jin." Li An saluted again.

"No, no need." Lao Jin looked at Li Duoduo at this time and asked, "Is this the young lady of Mr. Li's family? Oh, she is so lovable."

As he said that, Lao Jin took out a gold bracelet from his arms, which was inlaid with a red gem. Li An didn't know what kind of gem it was, and then he saw Lao Jin put the gold bracelet on Li Duo. Duo said on his hand: "This is the first time I meet the young lady. Lao Jin is giving me a small gift. Mr. Li and the young lady should not dislike it."

"Thank you, Uncle Jin." Li An was not polite and accepted it directly, because Li An had a good impression of the Persian Lao Jin, and he also helped him a lot. When he was in the most difficult time, he did not do anything to him. Bad thoughts are rare.

So Ang Lee is willing to make friends with Lao Jin.

Li Duoduo shouted happily: "Thank you, Uncle Jin."

A word of thanks made Lao Jin burst into laughter, and he nodded quickly: "No, no, let's go. I'll take Mr. Li and the young lady to your shop."

Lao Jin walked in front, and Li An picked Li Duoduo up again. About 100 meters away, Lao Jin pointed to a shop in front and said to Li An: "Mr. Li, what do you think?"

A two-story brick and wood structure building, with an area of ​​about ten meters by eight meters. There is a store door in the middle, six large windows on both sides, a counter inside, and a wooden staircase behind it that goes up to the second floor. It has been The planning was very clean.

As soon as Li An arrived, someone walked out immediately. It was none other than Qin Ying. This store was directly assigned by Li An and asked Qin Ying to come here to take care of it. The Tang Dynasty was a very tolerant period, and it was normal for women to be bosses. of.

"Lang Jun, you are here." Qin Ying walked out happily.

"Mom!" Liu Huzi stepped forward and shouted affectionately, and then Li Duoduo opened his hands to Qin Ying: "Aunt Qin, hug...!"

"Hey." Qin Ying hugged Li Duoduo happily.

At the same time, Liu Fangzi and others came here with backpacks on their backs. When Li An saw everyone arrived, he smiled and said: "We are all here, then quickly put the rock candy up. After it is set up, Light up the firecrackers and make some noise, we have two bosses coming soon."

As soon as these words came out, Lao Jin quickly came up and asked happily: "Wait a minute, His Royal Highness King Jin and His Highness Princess Jinyang will come too?"

"Yes!" Li An nodded slightly and smiled: "I heard that His Majesty likes the rock candy made by our Lijiacun, and specially wrote four words for our rock candy. King Jin and Princess Jin will send these four words over together."

"Oh, that's really great." Lao Jin was pleasantly surprised.
