"Ziying, have you run enough? Let's go to Xishi! Xishi has opened now!" Ning Qing was a little confused about Chen Yi who was still very excited and running back and forth on the street. After running for a while, hesitated to make suggestions to Chen Yi.

"Okay, let's go to the West Market!" Seeing that the sun was already in the middle of his head, Chen Yi stopped and Qingning, who was one step behind, followed.

"Come with me," Qingning said, turning his horse around and taking Chen Yi towards the west city southwest of the imperial city.

In just a short while, the two of them came outside the West City, stored the horses, and walked into the West City one by one.

Chen Yi carefully studied the information about Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty in later generations and knew that there were two major markets in Chang'an City, East City and West City. He also knew a lot about the situation of East City and West City. Dong City and West City were separated from the southeast and northwest direction of the imperial city. Due to the different locations of East City and West City, the items sold in it were also different. There are many royal nobles and high-ranking nobles around the East City, and they mainly operate high-quality luxury goods to meet the needs of royal nobles and high-ranking nobles. "The treasures of all directions are collected."

The goods sold in the West City are mostly daily necessities such as clothes, candles, cakes, medicines, etc., which are also called "Jinshi". They attract people from ordinary people to officials and nobles. Many of them are "Hu merchants" from the Western Regions such as Persia and Dashi, as well as merchants from Koryo, Baekje, Silla, Japan, and Tianzhu. These foreign merchants bring spices, ginseng, medicines, blankets and other non-selling goods, and then buy jewelry, silk fabrics and porcelain from Chang'an. Most of them live in some shops near the West City or West City.

There are many shops opened by Hu people in the western city, such as jewelry stores, goods stores, wineries, etc., especially Hu Ji wine shops opened by Hu people. Young women from the Western Regions often perform singing and dancing. The exotic Hu Ji and dance attract many frivolous teenagers to visit.

Chen Yi also knew that there was a legend that the allusion of "buying things" was derived from the name of the East and West Market. People buy items, sometimes go to the East Market, sometimes go to the West Market, and when they speak, they are simply called "buy east, buy west", and later they become "buy things"!

On several streets outside the West City, horses and vehicles were coming and going in all directions. Fortunately, the streets were built very wide, so they would not cause traffic congestion. The crowds in the West City were even more dense, and all kinds of people came one after another. It was very lively and there were so many people that it would swell the West City. Businessmen with different accents shouted and greeted the passersby, selling what they held in their hands or placed in the shops. Business travelers came from all over the world, all kinds of

There are all kinds of people, their skin colors, their clothes are also different, their Chinese voices and tones are different, and the sounds of pedestrians asking for and bargaining prices are mixed together. The entire western market is full of noisy scenes. A little far away, the sounds of shouting loudly between each other can't be heard clearly. There are also many snack bars, and the fragrance of the food is drilled into Chen Yi's nose. He can even tell the taste of tofu and wontons in it, which makes him saliva from time to time.

Chen Family Store, Wu Family Jewelry Store, Wang Family Restaurant, Zhao Family Beef and Mutton Shop... All the way, the embroidered flags at the doors of each store were waving. Chen Yi was a little surprised. From the lively market situation, we can roughly see the economic situation of an era. Now it is the second year of Linde, and the Tang Dynasty has been established for almost fifty years. There are Li Shimin's Zhenguan rule and the subsequent Yonghui rule. After decades of great governance, the world will definitely be prosperous, and the prosperity of the capital Chang'an is even more.

It was already noon, and the Hu Ji restaurants distributed in various places in the city were also opened one after another. The Hu Ji who greeted guests at the door of the restaurant twisted their slender and flexible waists in various postures, greeting passers-by loudly. Many customers also visited them to take a break or fill their stomachs. Of course, some people entered these restaurants just to see the singing and dancing performances of the Hu Ji.

Hu Ji's flexible waist, half-exposed white belly, and towering chest are a great temptation for many people. If you can see it up close or even touch it, it should taste very good. It is precisely because of this reason that many people came to the restaurant, which also makes most Hu Ji's restaurants full of customers and have a great business!

Chen Yi, whose eyes were circling around, stared at Hu Ji, who didn't feel too much surprise in his eyes. After he looked strange, Qingning, who seemed a little unhappy because he looked at Hu Ji, entered the gate of Xishi and entered the city with the flow of people.

It is quite easy to find a gold and silver shop that can be exchanged for copper coins. It is very conspicuous in the shop and the store is also very large. You can see it immediately after entering the shop. After entering the shop, the two of them went straight to the gold and silver shop!

The shopkeeper and waiter in the gold and silver store are both good at observing colors. They have been in the business world for many years and can roughly determine who they are from the clothes and demeanor of the customers. When Ning Qing and Chen Yi just entered the store, the people in the store saw that they were wearing ordinary fabrics and didn’t care about them. In the end, the shopkeeper who was sitting behind the counter saw that Chen Yi was not as handsome as an ordinary person. Although he was wearing average clothes, he might have a bad status. He hurriedly came over and greeted him in person!

Chen Yi immediately explained his purpose and presented a piece of golden leaf to ask the shopkeeper to help exchange some copper coins!

Chen Yi didn't know the conversion between gold, silver and copper coins nowadays, and even Qingning, a "native" contemporary person, was not aware of it. Fortunately, the fat shopkeeper of the inn, gave the two of them a rough idea of ​​the exchange rate. Of course, the gold exchange for copper coins depends on the quality of the gold. The gold leaves left on Chen Yi were very good in color, which surprised the shopkeeper in the gold shop. Seeing that Chen Yi was very demeanor and strong, the shopkeeper did not dare to deceive him, and basically gave the exchange according to the normal cash rate.

A golden leaf with less than two taels of gold can be exchanged for ten jin of copper coins. One jin of copper coins is one thousand jin, and ten jin is ten thousand jin. Ten jin is one thousand jin. Ten jin is a large bag of Kaiyuan Tongbao, ten jin is one jin, and ten jin is ten jin, and ten jin is a full jin. The amount of the cube is not light!

With the smiles of the shopkeeper and the waiter in the store, Chen Yi took a large bag of copper coins to the gold and silver store. The heavy purse in his hand felt very inconvenient. It would be great if there were banknotes, credit cards and so on from later generations! Or if there were a few followers around him to help carry things, that would be great! Thinking of this, Chen Yi immediately thought of the illusions that appeared from time to time when he was sleeping, and guessed where the purse he should have had, he had a little hope to encounter them in Chang'an, or even today in the West Market.

However, when I came to the West Market today, the first task was to buy a few sets of suitable clothes. After leaving the gold and silver store, Chen Yi followed Ning Qing to drill into the cloth store. A large bag of copper coins was a bit eye-catching, but it could also calm the snobbish merchants. The store owners treated them with a smile. In the third cloth store, Chen Yi took a few clothes and immediately ordered the store to take them down and try them on.

Chen Yi was the first to wear a set of narrow-sleeved Hu clothing with a good texture. This outfit seemed to be specially customized for him and fitted very well. After he put it on, he admired it in front of the bronze mirror for a while, and felt quite satisfied.

Ning Qing, who was on the side, stood there in surprise and looked at it for a long time, his eyes widened. Chen Yi, wearing luxurious clothes, really became a handsome man with graceful demeanor, making Ning Qing's heart tremble violently.

"How is it? Is this handsome guy wearing this outfit?" Chen Yi posed proudly in a few positions, deliberately bulging his strong chest muscles.

"Zi Ying, you really wear this outfit..." Qing Ning's eyes were a little unnatural, and hesitated for a few times, not knowing what to say, nor did he understand what it means to be handsome. After hesitating for a while, he continued, "Zi Ying, then buy this set, try the others!"

Chen Yi tried several other sets of strong suits and shirts as he spoke. In Qingning's praise, he bought the clothes he liked, four sets of clothes, as well as croakers and other popular clothing items. It cost a total of three tangs and six hundred cents of copper coins, which was quite expensive, but the money bag was also lighter and the burden was reduced, which was also a good thing. Chen Yi also walked out of the store wearing the set of strong suits he tried on.

Perhaps it was really because of people who were wearing clothes. Chen Yi, who had changed his clothes, felt energetic. Qing Ning on the side also turned his face from time to time to look at him, and the passers-by around him also consciously gave way to him. Chen Yi now felt that he had only one or two followers missing, otherwise he would be like a rich young master. He was wondering if he had to buy a few followers to avoid unnecessary trouble when wearing such clothes.

Chen Yi looked at Ning Qing walking beside him. Well, he felt that this little Taoist nun looked like his maid today... He also suddenly understood why no one was too surprised by his behavior today. Even when buying luxurious clothes, it might be because Ning Qing, a pretty little girl, was by the side. People thought it was really his maid, so they came shopping and buying things.

It is different from later generations and modern times. People with status cannot not bring followers, otherwise they will be suspected of something!

It took nearly an hour to exchange copper coins and buy clothes. Both of them were a little tired. Although they were full of breakfast, they ran for most of the day and were hungry!

"Qing'er, are you hungry? Let's go to the restaurant to drink!" Chen Yi patted his bulging wallet and said proudly: "I am the one who is here today. How about treating you to a big meal?"

Looking at Chen Yi's pretending, Ning Qing burst into laughter: "Okay, I'm really a little hungry, but we can just eat a little, don't waste it. You have to go back early in a while, so as not to let the master send a message to us!"

"Okay!" Chen Yi glanced nearby and saw a restaurant with a very nice decoration not far from where they stood. There were several colorful Hu Ji who were attracting guests at the door. Of course, he wanted to go and observe the scene in the Hu Ji Restaurant. He pointed at the restaurant and said to Ning Qing: "Qing'er, let's go to that restaurant to eat. Hehe, when you get there, you can order whatever you want..."

Of course he wouldn't say that in addition to having a big meal, he also wanted to see what kind of dance the legendary Gu Ji used to please the guests!

Ning Qing looked at the restaurant with a very nice decoration, and then looked at the beautiful Hu girls at the door. She seemed not very interested. After hesitating for a moment, she agreed: "Okay, let's go!" As she said that, she smiled at Chen Yi. She was really hungry. After Chen Yi said a few words to eat, she became even hungry, and her stomach was also protesting, too lazy to tell Chen Yi that she would change to another restaurant!

"Then let's go!" Chen Yi smiled and walked into the restaurant called "Zuixianlou". Together with Qingning, he greeted the smiling face of the Hu girl who couldn't tell which kind of appearance was, and went upstairs.

At this time, the dance music was playing upstairs, and a gangster wearing a small hat was performing a spinning dance quickly!
