Chapter four hundred and sixty-ninth historic moment

Han Yi spent the next few days busy, and he worked from early morning to midnight every day, especially helping those businessmen who had just moved to the West Market, pricing and tables and chairs. For this reason, he also held a special meeting to tell them some business skills. In addition, Changsun Chong and Cheng Chuliang were also making final efforts for the upcoming night market.

Although trivial matters are complicated, everything is going in an orderly manner.

In a blink of an eye, the arrival of the night market has entered the final countdown.

In the past, people were looking forward to dawn, but today the people of Changan City were looking forward to darkness, whether it was those who supported the relaxation of curfew or those who did not agree.

But for this reason, the daylight today seemed very calm, and everyone seemed to be raising their energy, as if on the eve of a war.

God did not help today. The sky was a little gloomy, but there was no trouble. At least it did not rain, so Han Yi was very satisfied.

The light gradually darkened.

On the main road of Xicheng, a father and son were walking forward quickly. Suddenly, a few acquaintances were walking slowly in front of him, so they chased him and said, "Why are you still so slow? You are about to have a curfew."

"Old Wu, why are you anxious? Isn't the curfew postponed to the third update today?"

"Yes, look at me, I've been thinking about it all day long during the day, and at this time, I've forgotten it."

Everything is so unaccustomed to it, everything is so unnatural.

At this time, the people in Chang'an City were very consciously heading to their homes, but halfway through, they suddenly remembered that there seemed to be no curfew today, and they couldn't help but smile bitterly again.

There were many people gathered next to the drum towers in the two cities, most of whom were young people. They looked at the drums with anticipation, which was a look that yearning for freedom.

The night came to the sky above Chang'an as promised.

"No sound! No sound!"

The crowd gathered around was completely boiling, and the drums that must sound at this moment every day were finally not ringed today.

This is a kind of joy of freedom.

Of course, many people feel very uncomfortable, as if they have lost their goals in life.

But no matter what, this is definitely a historic moment.

Huhu--!

Patrolmen came to the main road one by one, and at the last moment when night fell, they lit the torches that had been arranged on the roadside, and the flames soared into the sky, and the entire Chang'an City was illuminated for a moment.

It is just to save this expense, so only the main roads have torches, and there are some main passages, which are also equipped with torches, but not as dense as the main roads.

The burning flames. Everything in the open door was so unreal. When this moment came, the people of Chang'an realized that they were not prepared and were at a loss.

Of course, there are also many people who come to the streets in groups. They are not for parades. They are very curious about all this. After all, walking on the streets at this moment is really unfamiliar.

However, the most lively one is the two cities Peace Kangli.

Especially in Xishi City, it has become the most lively place in Chang'an at the beginning of nightfall, because many people know that Xishi City will definitely be full today. Otherwise, there will definitely be no seats if you come early, and many people have never tried to have dinner outside. This is really strange.

There were many more people walking on the street than during the day. Originally, they were just here to take a look, but when they were shopping, their hands itched again, and before they knew it, they had already carried a lot of goods on their hands.

What is different from usual is that many restaurants, tea shops, restaurants, restaurants, and many unknown snacks suddenly popped up in the west market like bamboo shoots after the rain. This is definitely a big surprise at the night market, allowing the people of Chang'an to enjoy the benefits. Because they have always been closed-ended management, many good things have been closed in their families. Now, with this relaxation, these beautiful things have immediately emerged.

Almost every wine shop, tea shop, and restaurant are crowded.

There is no doubt that these businessmen who just arrived are happy because everything is difficult at the beginning, but as soon as they open the door, they are crowded and there is not even a process of adapting. Although Han Yi has already reminded them, they are still busy and are in a daze. When they see the strings of copper coins falling into their pockets, they feel as if they are in a dream, and all this seems too unreal.

At the same time, there was also a group of people who were silently dedicating themselves to the officials of the Fire Prevention Department. They were always paying attention to the situation of each store. Whenever they found anything wrong, they would immediately come forward to correct it. They looked at the soldiers on the fire platform standing in the bitter cold wind and conducting regional observations.

"I really didn't expect it to be so lively."

Changsun rushed down the street and looked at the dense figures, feeling a little incredible.

The living habit of working from sunrise to sunset is already deeply rooted. He thought that the night market would definitely be lively, but he thought it was a world of young people. But when he saw that there were men, women, young and old on the street, he was very surprised.

Han Yi smiled and said, "A person's life is so short, you should enjoy it in time. If the officials are not wrong, the prince-consort must often study until midnight. Because the prince-consort thinks reading is a kind of happiness, he cherishes the time of reading very much, but not everyone thinks reading is a kind of happiness."

Changsun nodded and said, "Just like your poem, life must be full of joy, don't let the golden cup face the moon empty."

While the two of them were talking, they suddenly saw Cheng Chuliang, who had always talked a lot, suddenly became silent. At the same time, they turned their heads to look at Cheng Chuliang. Cheng Chuliang looked at the restaurant beside the street, and the restaurant was swallowing heavily.

The two looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh secretly.

Changsun Chong suddenly said, "Cheng Er, why don't we go in and have two drinks."

"Okay! OK!"

Cheng Chuliang nodded subconsciously, and suddenly reacted again. He looked at Changsun Chong and Han Yi in embarrassment. He knew that he had been fooled, so he grabbed his head and said, "It's better to be exempted. We still have a task today."

Han Yi smiled and said, "If the general wants to drink, after the night market is over, let's have a drink together."

Cheng Chuliang was a little dissatisfied and said, "Don't I really want to drink, but drinking is just like gambling, it's interesting to have too many people." As he said that, he glanced at the guests who were drinking and talking to each other. He was the one who liked the most. He couldn't express all his envy.

As soon as he finished speaking, someone suddenly heard someone shouting: "General, general."

Cheng Chuliang looked up and saw several people standing on the balcony waving to him on the second floor of a restaurant next to him.

Cheng Chuliang said aloof and said, "You guys are here too."

One of them said, "Haha, we're on vacation these two days."

Cheng Chuliang suddenly realized and said, "No wonder you bastards refused to take a vacation a few days ago. I still think you have changed your mind. It turns out that they are all here to drink for today!"

"General, come up and have a drink. The upstairs are full of our Sixteen Guards, which is very lively."

When Cheng Chuliang heard this, he was very excited and was about to agree, but suddenly he looked at Changsun Chong and Han Yi again.

Changsun Chong, Han Yi thought to himself, this public security matter is your responsibility, but we are accompanying you on inspection. If you still want to drink, how can such a good thing happen? They all turn their heads aside.

Cheng Chuliang scratched the back of his hand, and a pair of bull's eyes turned quickly.

Just then, I suddenly heard a tiger roar, "Didn't you guys see Liangzi doing official business? They actually asked him to come up and drink. Do you believe it or not, I will deal with you all the military law."

I saw a burly figure appearing in front of the building. Who was not Cheng Yaojin? Those people immediately scattered like birds and beasts.

Cheng Chuliang said in surprise: "Dad, are you here too?"

Cheng Yaojin laughed and said, "You juniors, go and do your business quickly, do it well, don't stand here and smell the wine."

I heard someone upstairs shouting, "Old Cheng, why are you standing there? Come over and drink soon, and wait for you."

"Here, come."

Cheng Yaojin immediately disappeared in front of the guardrail upstairs.

Cheng Chuliang suddenly clenched his fists and shouted on his back, scaring the people around him to dodge and then strode away.

This was his favorite atmosphere, but he could only stand downstairs and smell the wine, which was so annoying.

Han Yi and Changsun were stunned for a while, then laughed and followed quickly.

It turned out that in order to help the night market, Li Zhi had announced the day before yesterday that most officials had a day off tomorrow because they rarely went out during the streets, and had to work during the day and could not go out at night. Although there were many holidays in the Tang Dynasty, during the holidays, they either had to accompany their relatives or their friends could not get together. This night market is so good, everyone is free, and they don’t want to go to work tomorrow, so they quickly invited each other to come to the West Market to have a drink and have fun.

In fact, Cheng Yaojin was lucky. Many officials mistakenly predicted the form. As a result, they came late and were all full. They could only stay in the temporary shed to drink. They said that they were temporarily prepared. In fact, Han Yi had planned it long ago. He set up a row of late-night snack stalls on an open space in the south of the West City, and it was already full at this time.

Everyone gathered together, chatting about the world, drinking and having fun, and it was so happy.

Just as everyone is enjoying the unique happiness brought by the night, some are also thinking about the benefits generated in the night market.

As the number one commercial family in the Tang Dynasty, the Yuan family naturally would not miss this opportunity.

Yuan Mudan stood in the attic of the lady who was undergoing renovation, staring at the bright lights in front of her, with a thoughtful expression.

Dora next to her suddenly said, "Sister Peony, with the emergence of the night market, these shops are very eager for candles. I think our candles are still too cheap. As far as I know, many merchants were planning to make money by using candles, but when our candles were made like this, they could only sell them at the same price as us."

Yuan Mudan said: "We are different from them. They are just specializing in candle trading. Candles are just one of the insignificant transactions for our Yuan family. There is no importance at all. Restaurants and restaurants are our most important transactions. For our Yuan family, candles are just to illuminate rice, vegetables, fruits, sugar, etc.."

Speaking of this, she paused and said, "But I am very interested in candle trading now."

Dora glanced at Yuan Mudan in confusion.

Yuan Mudan smiled and said, "There will be every day in the night. Candles are rice in the night. They are needed at all times, but they are decreasing at all times. This is the most popular business deal for merchants. Judging from the actions of the court, this night market will most likely be held for a long time. I expect the night market will appear more frequently in the future, so candles will be consumed faster and the demand will be greater. If this deal can be done well, we will gain more wealth."

Dora smiled and said, "You can see far if you are sister Mudan. Now we have obtained the secret recipe for new candles from Han Yi. In the future, we will definitely become the largest candle merchants."

Yuan Mudan shook her head and said, "This is not enough. The consumption of candles will far exceed our expectations. We must try our best to obtain candles by using various means. Dora, tomorrow you will gather some people who are very familiar with candles and specifically look for materials that can make candles."
