221. Forces

At the end of this year, Xu Dalang and others finally arrived in Chang'an City. More than a dozen people in their group came here, driving ox carts and donkey carts all the way. They also brought a lot of things from Lishi County, the most important thing was the bean paste in the Luo family yard.

The bean paste sauce was made with Xiamin at that time. At this time, it has been almost half a year. It is basically fully mature and can be used in large quantities.

When this group of people first arrived in Chang'an City, Luo Yong was teaching students at the Imperial Academy. These people first went to the yard in Feng'anfang.

Azhi received them, boiled water and cooked, and fetched the house again to arrange for them to stay. When Luo Yong came back from get off work, Xu Dalang and others had already slept in the yard here.

As soon as Luo Yong entered the yard, he saw that the children in his family were intimate around the five pairs. He hadn't seen the five pairs for a while, and he looked like he had a layer of fat again. I don't know if the food was good or the weather was cold in winter. The hair on his body grew thicker.

"Ann...Ann..."

"puff!"

When the five pairs of this big donkey saw Luo Yong, they shouted and sniffed. I don’t know if they were happy or unhappy.

Luo Yong greeted his disciples, and heard that his brother-in-law Lin Wulang also came with him this time. At this time, he looked around but saw no one.

"Where is my sister-in-law?" Luo Yong asked.

"At noon, everyone was resting after dinner. He couldn't stay here, so he went to Guangdefang to find your sister." Xu Dalang's wife smiled.

"I took him there. I didn't find anyone in Guangdefang, so I took him to Chonghuafang. I found him and found him. Your brother-in-law stayed there to help. I had nothing to do and came back alone." Azhi also said at this time.

"Why don't you go to Guangdefang to see?" Luo Yong asked Xu Dalang and his wife with a smile. This time they came here to visit their son and daughter-in-law.

"I heard that the market opened after noon in the west city, and these few hours in the afternoon are the busiest times of the day, so we couldn't go over and cause trouble and wait for a while before the curfew." Xu Dalang said.

"If you want to take a donkey cart, you will be able to go out at this time." It is not far or near to Feng'anfang to Guangdefang, and the donkey is walking slowly, so it is better to go out earlier.

"No hurry, Master, you just came back, so you should use some food before leaving." They are also quite clear about the curfew in Chang'an City and the distance from here to Guangdefang. It's okay to go out later.

"I won't eat anymore, go to the shop there to eat. The nights in Guangdefang are much more lively than here. Since you have had enough rest during the day, you will go there tonight." Luo Yong said with a smile.

After so long in Chang'an City, Luo Yong has now learned more about this city. When it comes to markets, it mainly consists of the east and west markets. When it comes to nightlife, it mainly concentrates on two places.

One is located on the east side of Chang'an City, from Chunmingmen to Qujiangchi, and the more famous ones are Changlefang and Jiaohuafang. The other is located next to the West City, mainly concentrated in Guangdefang and Yanshoufang.

So when the Ma family bought the Guangdefang guest house, although the price was very high, it was reasonable.

It is close to the West City, the main area of ​​nightlife, and is still close to the palace city. In addition, the location of this guest house is also counted in Guangdefang. If it were later generations, it would have been hyped up to sky-high prices. In this 7th century AD, everyone was still relatively real, and the housing prices and land prices were also relatively real.

Luo Yong and others went to Chonghuafang first, intending to find Aunt Luo and Lin Wulang first, and then go to Guangdefang with them.

Luo Yong, the small courtyard in Chonghuafang, has been to Luo Yong, and now he is familiar with the road. When they passed by this day, they still saw some neighbors fetching water from the pool outside the yard. People are coming and going, and it is also quite lively.

Luo Yong patted the gate of the yard, and soon a young woman came out to open the door. Luo Yong entered the yard and looked up and saw Lin Wulang squatting under the corridor to repair a stone pestle.

My sister's food shop now sells many fish balls and meatballs every day. It's too hard to beat them with a wooden hammer, so Aunt Luo bought a few stone pestles in the yard, which saved a lot of effort. In the past two days, the wooden pole of a stone pestle was loose, and Lin Wulang had nothing to do, so he took it to repair it in the corridor.

"My brother-in-law just arrived today, why did he start working now?" Luo Yong said with a smile.

"He is just a life that cannot be spared." The aunt came out of the room next to her and asked Xu Dalang and others to sit in the hall. Then she asked someone to cook some egg water to come and serve the guests.

"Why didn't Si Niang come here?" Aunt Luo hadn't seen Si Niang for a few days, and then asked.

"I'm staying in the yard there. I said there are many people today, and they all went to Guangdefang, so I couldn't stay there, so I asked them to stay in the yard there to play with the five pairs." Luo Yong replied.

"The five pairs are here too?" the aunt asked with a smile.

"Here you come." Luo Yong also smiled.

"That happens, you can also get a donkey cart in the future. Don't ride the swallow flying all day long. In this cold weather, you will have frostbite on your hands." said the aunt.

"I'm thinking so too." Luo Yong said with a smile.

After eating egg water, the few people warmed their stomachs and it was almost time for a curfew, so they headed to Guangdefang together.

The streets of Chang'an City are so spacious, and the nights in Guangdefang are so lively. Many of Luo Yong's disciples have been here in Chang'an City once before. Now, after a few years, I still feel that it is grand and prosperous.

But this time I came here, I was no longer as dizzy as when I first came, because I was wearing a kang in Chang'an City and walked through many places in the streets and alleys. When it comes to terrain, they may be more familiar with Luo Yong. In addition, they have broadened their horizons in recent years. At this time, I will look at Chang'an City again. It is big and prosperous, but it is no longer a level that makes them feel confused and frightened.

In the evening, Aunt Luo led the eldest daughter of Zheng and replaced the young couple of the Xu family, asking them to talk to their mother.

On the side of Xu Erlang, he did not go out to play like other disciples, but stayed with Luo Yong in a small hut behind the Ma family's guest house. The master and apprentice talked about what happened recently in Lishi County and their plans for this journey.

"...... Since the master left, the business of the Xu family's guest house has been much worse than before. It's enough to see Sanlang at home. When I came here, I wanted to find some other business." Xu Erlang said to Luo Yong.

"Is the business of those shops near the sheep pen okay?" Luo Yong asked him.

"It's not bad." Xu Erlang replied. The shops in the Sheepshe area mainly deal with some porters and peddlers. There are often small vendors who come to them to buy goods. They have accumulated Luo Yong's accumulation, but now those shops are well managed and their sales are relatively stable.

"That's good." Luo Yong nodded. Although he could start a new job, he still didn't want the business that he had been able to cultivate before to decline after he left.

"Have you ever thought about running a grocery store in Chang'an City?" Xu Erlang asked.

"Natural." Luo Yong had thought about this a long time ago.

"Master also thinks this matter is feasible?" Xu Erlang said happily.

"The saint had promised me that as long as it was my goods, I would not have to pay tolls to walk this cement road from Chang'an City, Lishi County Road. "Although the journey is long, it is still much more convenient than before, and there is no toll, and the cost is less than before. In this case, the connection between the two places will naturally be closer, and it should be possible to develop at the same time at both ends.

"So, I've been looking for a shop in Chang'an City these few days?" Xu Erlang asked.

"Serious." Luo Yong nodded.

In the past, Luo Yong failed to make up his mind to open a shop in Chang'an City. First, their place was too far from Chang'an City at that time, and it was inconvenient to get in contact with each other. Second, he was worried that he would be too popular and attracted the emperor's taboo.

In fact, the person sitting in the position of the emperor has to consider more things every day. He is facing an entire country, and there are not only one or two forces that make him afraid of it. There is no longer so much time to stare at his coffin board all day long.

Besides, it is not as long as he looks pure and harmless, he can live in this world safely.

He blindly shows weakness and kindness, acts in a low-key manner, and does not cultivate his own strength in time to make himself stronger. In the end, even if the emperor really doesn't care about him at all, so what if any force is easy to kill him, he can be killed by one finger.

If a person wants to survive better and safely in this world, nothing is more important than being stronger than being stronger.

Luo Yong, who has been a human being for two lifetimes, has just figured out this truth in the past two years.

In the following days, Xu Erlang looked for shops in Chang'an City, and soon there was a rumor among the people that Li Shi Luosanlang and his disciples were coming to Chang'an City to develop.

After the news came out, those who expected it would be there, and those who were afraid of it would be there.

The most obvious change that Luo Yong felt was that the teacher and students of the Imperial Academy treated him slightly differently from before.
