Finally, when all these people left the seat, the dishes in the entire buffet restaurant were almost emptied.

The poems written by these people that night soon spread in Chang'an City.

It’s not because these people are very literary, but every poem is written so well. It’s because this legendary Mid-Autumn Festival banquet made many people who were unable to attend the banquet curious and yearn for it.

Those unheard of dishes, as well as the canned lychees from Lingnan, what a delicate and rare feast it was.

There are also many restaurants and restaurants imitate the dishes described in the poems, but the things they make in the end are often far from the dishes that night.

Just steamed eggs with clams and stuffed tofu, these simple dishes can still look a bit like. Dishes like sweet and sour pork ribs and hibiscus chicken slices are something that chefs can’t even think of, let alone make them.

"Look at me, how many men, can you tell me that this steamed egg in the small shop is authentic?"

A few days later, in a famous wine shop in Chang'an City, the store owner heard that Yao Langzhong from the Ministry of Revenue was drinking with his friends upstairs, so he personally delivered a pot of good wine and chatted with them for a few words.

"It's better than the one we ate yesterday."

"The egg is steamed tenderly, and the taste is delicious, and it is indeed better than the one yesterday."

"What do you think Yao Dalang?"

"It's probably pretty good. Compared with the one at Assistant Luo's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, the toppings taste a little worse."

Since attending that Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, no matter where Yao Jie has gone to have dinner these days, someone has asked him such questions.

But in his opinion, the dishes at the banquet that day were not simple dishes that could be figured out in three to five days. If no one advised me, even if I spent three to five to seven years, I might not be able to understand them thoroughly.

I heard that one bamboo stick for attending the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet costs three jin of money. After the news came out, it would be better to sell it out in half a day.

Most of the people who attended the banquet that night had relatively high status, probably either bamboo sticks given by others or bought them at a high price.

On the 145th day, someone also found Yao Zhen. Yan wanted to buy the two bamboo sticks he had at the price of ten cents of a bamboo stick.

Although the Yao family is not a wealthy family, their ancestors have some accumulations. They have houses and land in Chang'an City, and there are other villages in the suburbs. They do not take the twenty-stop money seriously, so they naturally refuse to sell it.

If he sold it at that time, he would regret it so much that his intestines were even green.

If the other party could know in advance that this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was at this level, let alone twenty cents, I would probably be willing to give out even two hundred cents.

As the saying goes, it’s hard to buy a fortune, but I didn’t see how many big men in Chang’an City sighed.

By the early morning of August 20, as soon as the gates of the Fangfangmen in Chang'an City opened, many children rushed to the streets and shouted loudly:

"Good news! Good news! New goods are added to the north and south!"

"Boiled fish soup ingredients! If you want it, go and buy it!"

"As long as you have that soup, every household can make boiled fish!"

"The method is written on the paper in my hand. Everyone wants it and get one!"

"No money! No money! Free gift!"

"Hey! Give me one! Give me one!"

"This side! Get me one too!"

"Don't rob, don't rob!"

"You rude guys! Don't hurt your baby!"

"Don't squeeze any of them!"

"Why is it gone?"

"There are still more! There are many groceries in the north and south."

"Luo Sanlang printed tens of thousands of copies with people, and every household in Chang'an City has more copies."

"Don't worry, don't worry, there are still groceries in the north and south!"

There are not only recipes for boiled fish in the north and south groceries, but also booklets full of shelves, called "Chi Pepper Edible Manual". Each book costs only three cents. If you buy it in a big deal, you will only charge thirty cents for a dozen or twelve books, and you can also buy it in a box. In short, the more you buy it, the lower the unit price.

Because of the fried snails as a prelude, Chang'an people are very confident in the recipes made by groceries from north and south. This time, many shops buy this boiled fish soup stock from dozens or hundreds of kilograms.

I won’t talk about the recipe for boiled fish that is not expensive. Many people are rushing to buy the “Chi Pepper Manual” on the shelves.

Ordinary people usually buy one or two books. If the family is richer, they can buy one or two, and if they get back, they will get one or two relatives and friends, as well as family members of the aristocratic family, they will move goods in boxes and boxes, and most of them will be sent to their rich hometowns or local businesses.

The pepper seeds that were released on the same day as these things are also used by Luo.

In contrast to the generosity of giving away free recipes, the price of these pepper seeds is so black that it can drip out of ink. One pepper seed costs one cent, and there is no discount for buying more. If you buy one hundred cents, you can only give two or three more pieces as a bonus.

Even so, the pepper seeds in the shop still sold very quickly. Luo Yong asked their disciples to count out a thousand seeds first and weigh them. Then if someone wants to buy more than one thousand seeds, they can weigh them with a scale.

The same is true when paying. A copper coin weighs one ounce, ten ounces are one ounce, and sixteen ounces are one pound, so the weight of a thousand copper plates is six pounds and four ounces. You can save a lot of money by weighing it directly with a scale.

At the end of August, the copper coins earned every day can be piled up into small hills, and after deducting part of the salary, they are actually only one person.

After earning so much money, the next thing to consider is how to spend them. This problem has never been difficult for Luo Yong.

In recent days, Luo had to drive a donkey cart to the city when he was free, especially those neighbors near the canal.

The autumn is clear and refreshing, and it is a good time to travel. Luo Yong wanders around Chang'an City every day. The more places he walks, the more he feels about the vastness and regularity of this city.

Even in the 21st century more than a thousand years later, Chinatown existed in many countries around the world, which shows how great the influence of the Tang Dynasty was.

It was only after Luo Yong came here that he had a deeper understanding of the history of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

The so-called Tang inherited the Sui system. The Tang Dynasty had the shadow of the Sui Dynasty in terms of laws, buildings and regime structures. For example, this Chang'an City was actually the new capital Daxing City built by Emperor Wen of Sui in the southeast of the original Chang'an.

The Sui Dynasty was also an amazing dynasty. Although he was short-lived, it cannot be denied that both the Sui Dynasty monarchs had great achievements.

Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was the last king of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang, and his aunt's cousin. Their mothers were sisters. The Sui and Tang dynasties were inseparable from each other.

At this time, Li Shimin's harem not only had a concubine Yang, but also many women with the surname Yang. Many famous scholars and officials in contemporary times also took the women with the surname Yang. Decades later, the only female emperor in history, Wu Zetian, was the only female emperor in history. Her mother was also a member of the Yang family, as well as Yang Guifei from the Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, who were also a member of the Yang family.

In this era, there is such a complex network of relationships between the gentry and the gentry.

The more clearly he saw these relationships, the more Luo Yong understood how difficult it would be for poor families to make a comeback under such a general background.

That boy Qiao Junlin worked hard every day.

It’s not that he couldn’t see the situation clearly, but for the young people in this era, they had no other way except to seize the only hope.

Throughout history, how many passionate young people have been fighting and burning on this land, and finally turned into ashes and drifted away with the wind. Luo Yong didn't know that he just hoped that Qiao Junlin would not take such a sad path.

But with that boy's stubbornness, I'm afraid even nine cows can't get it back...

Luo Yong is unable to promise him yet, saying that he can change the world and open up a new path for him.

Not only for Qiao Junlin, but also for others, but this is also what Luo really wants to do in his heart. But with his meager strength, who can know how far he can go on this road in just a few decades of life?

...

The donkey cart walked along the streets and alleys of Chang'an City for more than half a day, and finally went to Fenglefang, where the north and south groceries were located.

Luo Yong has been looking for a place suitable for building ice cellars in the past two days. After searching for it, he finally decided to set the place in Fenglefang, which is not far from Guangdefang. If an ice cellar is built here, it will be more convenient for Aunt Luo to use ice cubes in the shop in the future, and it is also in the same shop as groceries in the north and south, so there are many conveniences to manage.

However, with the rise of their north-south groceries, the housing prices in Fenglefang have increased by at least half compared with the beginning of the year. Compared with the few nearby shops, the prices are really inflated.

Luo Yong had not considered building an ice cellar in Guangdefang, but the housing prices in Guangdefang were higher than Fenglefang. The area originally belonged to the West City business district, but now Aunt Luo’s business is so popular, which makes their entire street like a night market pedestrian street. Recently, many shops selling various food have been opened, and the surrounding housing prices are also rising steadily.
