    When I invited Xu Shuangyi to visit Chang'an, she happily agreed. It seems to be a woman's nature to like shopping. The reason why women like shopping can be traced back to their origins because they are curious. Women's shopping and men's adventures are actually both curiosity.  cause trouble

    Chang'an is the national capital. Years of construction and recuperation have made Chang'an extremely prosperous. When we walked to the street, it was noon. The snow on the street had already been cleared away. Although the road was still a little slippery, it did not affect the opening of businesses.  Choi and the hawkers walked through the streets shouting and selling goods.

    If I were in modern times, I would take Xu Shuangyi to the mall to buy clothes immediately. But at this time, there are no shops selling ready-made clothes on the street. They only sell clothing materials. Naturally, the clothing materials at this time will not have any chemical composite materials. The clothing materials at this time are roughly divided.  The most expensive of the three categories is silk products, which are soft and luxurious silk fabrics that are the main clothing materials of famous aristocrats. Secondly, cotton fabrics are not cheap because cotton was just cultivated in the border areas of China at this time and the yield was very low. Cotton absorbs water.  It has good sex and does not irritate the skin. It is mainly used to make underwear, that is, underwear. The most common fabric is linen. This kind of fabric is rough and durable and is the main material for making clothes. Pure linen is not common among the public, but most people have seen sacks. Linen is similar to sacks.  The material is fabric, but it's a little thinner than that.

    Xu Shuangyi lingered in the cloth shop for a long time and finally chose a piece of cotton and a piece of linen silk. She didn't like it. In her opinion, it was flashy and easy to scratch. It was not suitable for people like her who lived in wild areas all year round.  If she likes it, I will buy it for her. In fact, these things are not of high quality. I can allocate tribute cloths for her now, but the fun of shopping lies in buying things. After the war, I will give her some more royal tributes.

    There are ready-made boots, but those boots are not high-end boots worn by people at the bottom of society. The reason why this happens is because when buying boots, you need to measure your feet, and women from wealthy families would not take off their shoes casually to measure their feet before buying them.  At that time, a woman's feet were the most intimate parts next to her chest and buttocks and were not easily visible to others.

    Hairpin jewelry and other women's items are also sold on the street. Xu Shuangyi doesn't wear makeup and doesn't like useless jewelry. However, driven by a woman's psychology of pleasing her own appearance, she still tried a few pieces of jewelry. After I praised them, she took them off.  When she got down, she just wanted me to see her wearing jewelry. In fact, she didn¡¯t like these things.

    In fact, there is no direct relationship between a person's psychological age and her physical age. Although Xu Shuangyi is still in her forties, because she lives in the wilderness all year round and has little contact with outsiders, and she is untouched, the girl's temperament is still there.  It remained in her body that she was very curious about the dazzling array of strange things in Chang'an. Any shop would make her stay for a long time, and the melancholy on her face was swept away and replaced by joy and curiosity.

    Xu Shuangyi has an elegant appearance. Walking on the street will inevitably attract a lot of side glances and peeps. This scene makes me very funny. If those scumbags know that this woman can fly thousands of miles in a day, draw a bow and kill enemies in anger.  Do Qianbu and the others still dare to look at her with such obscene eyes?

    What Xu Shuangyi is most interested in are the jade antiques placed for sale on the street. These historical items carry a strong cultural atmosphere. Since wartime is approaching, everyone wants to collect gold and silver to prepare for famines, so these jade antiques are very cheap.  Since Shuang Yi likes it, he will buy all the antiques and jades at this time. There are very few fakes. Unlike today¡¯s society where fakes are everywhere. Go to Panjiayuan and take a look around all the antiques. You can find the faces of sisters. I and King Kong Cannon once made a bet in modern times.  I don¡¯t need to use Qi-watching techniques to distinguish between genuine and fake ones by just my eyesight. As a result, I bought a bronze sword that was stained by people¡¯s urine and a diamond gun that was made of blue and white porcelain with 502 adhesion.

    Women go shopping tirelessly. From noon to evening, they buy so many things that I can only use magic to carry them.

    "I'll take you to dinner." I looked up at the sky to confirm the time. It was too late for the curfew in Chang'an, so the merchants closed their stalls.

    Hearing this, Xu Shuangyi showed her face and promised me, so I took her to the most luxurious restaurant in Chang'an. Xu Shuangyi walked to the door and backed down. She didn't like this kind of occasion. She wanted to see what ordinary people eat.

    Naturally, I wanted to help Xu Shuangyi fulfill her wish, so I took her to a lantern food street in Dongcheng.

    In this era, people's diets vary greatly, not only in terms of quality but also in frequency. The emperor and his ministers generally eat four meals a day, breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper. Ordinary ministers and everyone else eat three meals a day. Peasants and commoners only have two meals a day.  The idiom "two meals and one night" describes the poverty of the ancient people's life. In ancient times, this was a system. Of course, people could eat secretly behind closed doors. The premise was that they could afford it.

    During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, almost all basic cooking methods were fried, fried, fried, braised, roasted and steamed. People living in the upper echelons of society did not like to eat meat. The reason why they did not like it was not because they did not want to eat it, but because they thought meat would  The body of a decaying human being, and those living at the bottom of society are very eager to eat meat. Unfortunately, they cannot afford it and can only eat the waste of six animals. The so-called six animals refer to horses, cows, sheep, pigs, dogs, and chickens.?Animals had vegetables during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, mainly cabbage, spinach, taro, radish, leek, cucumber, gourd, lotus root, and beans. Many modern vegetables had not yet appeared at this time.

    Modern women like to pretend that they are vegetarians, pretending to be "I don't eat meat" in front of others, and secretly nibbling pig trotters behind their backs. In fact, they do this to show their elegance. Unfortunately, elegance is not shown.  The falseness is revealed. In fact, the natural one is the best and the most beautiful. I don't feel at all that there is anything indecent about Xu Shuangyi's image of eating a big piece of meat and drinking porridge. On the contrary, I feel that she is very real. It is a matter for monastics to abstain from pornography.  Mortals, don¡¯t join in the fun. People who don¡¯t eat meat not only have no strength, but also lack energy and spirit.

    In the popular impression, sashimi is the food of Japanese devils. In fact, its origin is China, but at this time, there was no wasabi condiment, mainly ginger.

    Since it is winter, shellfish from coastal areas can also be transported. However, people at this time are not good at eating this seafood. It is mainly delicious, and people at this time have a special liking for the fragrance.

    The Korean barbecue is also passed down from China. However, the current barbecue is a bit like a meat bun with pickles, lettuce and fatty meat between the pancakes. At this time, this food was a delicacy of poor people and high-end people did not bother to eat it.

    Caviar is also available at this time, but it is not the roe of sturgeon but the roe of ordinary freshwater fish. It is a kind of food accompaniment. In addition, the condiments and seasonings at this time are mainly salt, vinegar, sauce, candied scallions.  , ginger and pepper meat sauce, garlic sugar were passed down from the place where Asan lived. At that time, it was a precious seasoning. As for chili, a slightly masochistic seasoning, it did not appear in China at this time.

    Xu Shuangyi's favorite is sweet rice. At this time, people like to eat sticky rice. Yellow rice in the north and glutinous rice in the south are both of this kind. After the food is cooked, red dates are put on it. This situation is consistent with the current Hui people in China.  Eating habits are somewhat similar

    The curfew started at midnight in the evening. The two of them walked back to the camp. After returning to the camp, Xu Shuangyi happily sorted out the things she bought during the day, while I looked at her with interest. Today can be said to be the happiest day for her since we met.  Already
