"This place looks more orderly than the East Market. Is this the Li Family Zhuangzi's place?"
The Japanese Empire's envoys strolled from the East Market to the Chengnan Market. It was already noon, and they were looking for a place to eat.
They returned to the Four Quarters Embassy to eat. Naturally, it was free of charge since the Tang dynasty's imperial court provided it.
They came out on their own. Last time, they were accompanied by people from the Honglu Temple, and the imperial court paid for whatever they wanted to buy.
This time, the Honglu Temple's officials accompanied them, and they had no intention of paying at all.
You can spend your own money outside.
There were still many empty places in the Chengnan Market that were ready to be rented out.
Most of the existing places were operated by the Li Family Zhuangzi, and there were many restaurants.
The group of more than 500 people was huge. As soon as they entered the market, the people all looked at them. They recognized that they were the Japanese Empire's envoys, but they didn't care.
The people of the Tang dynasty had a kind of pride that came from the depths of their souls toward outsiders. The Tang dynasty was the strongest.
All of their confidence came from fighting. If Li Yi was here, he would say that he understood.
Just like his own countrymen, the people of other countries were afraid when they mentioned the militarily powerful countries on Earth.
Many of his countrymen were not afraid, especially when it came to fighting. They dared to fight with all their might.
The source of their confidence was that they had helped a peninsular country in a war, and another was that they had helped a country next to Shannan in a war.
In both wars, the army of Li Yi's country had paid a heavy price, but they had won both times and achieved their strategic goals.
If it weren't for the blood and sacrifice of the soldiers in both wars, the people of his country wouldn't have dared to fight against other countries.
The current Tang dynasty was like this. They had always been fighting, and they had won against anyone. Why would they care about the Japanese Empire?
The Japanese Empire's envoys didn't care about how others looked at them. Their purpose in coming to the Tang dynasty was clear: to learn advanced technology, culture, and political experience.
Then, they walked to an area with many small tables and chairs. This was the dining area.
No matter where they bought their food, they could eat here. This place didn't belong to any shop.
There was a window selling fried chicken legs, chicken breast, and chicken breast wrapped in bread crumbs to be fried.
In addition, there was also soda with ice, which was delivered from the Drunken Immortal House. The soda was sealed in a sealed jar.
There was a tap below, and some sugar and fruits would be placed in the bamboo cups to make fructose powder.
If someone wants to drink, add two ice cubes and fill half the container.
It was carbonated drinks, but the carbonation was not as strong as Li Yi's.
Li Yi could have mixed his own carbonated water, but he didn't want to. He just wanted to drink some hot spring water.
There were also sausages in bread, vegetable leaves, and jam.
There were also people who wanted to eat fried rice, but it wasn't really fried.
He fried the eggs with oil and mixed them with other ingredients. Then, he poured the steamed rice into it and stirred it with his hands.
After stirring, it looked like one grain after another.
Li Yi's fast-food restaurants also did this. No one really put in the effort to cook that kind of golden fried rice.
However, the stir-fried noodles were really stir-fried. After the noodles were cooked, they were placed in a large spoon and stir-fried with supplementary ingredients.
He asked the customers if they wanted to add vinegar or soy sauce.
The envoy from the Japanese Empire had never eaten such bread, fried chicken, and drinks before, so he chose to eat them for lunch today.
Fujiwara Ma Yang took a bag from his subordinate and took out the silver coins.
It was made of silver, which was no longer cast in the Japanese Empire.
"Do you accept it?" Fujiwara Ma Yang asked the person who seemed to be the leader of the bomb shop.
"Yes, how much silver? One tael of silver can be exchanged for 1,130 copper coins now. If it's 90% silver, it's 1,000 and 17 copper coins. "
The person in charge was the Li Family Zhuangzi's landlord. He gave the exchange rate.
The copper in a copper coin definitely couldn't reach 100% purity, but one copper coin was calculated in terms of pure copper.
Silver was currently in short supply in the Tang Dynasty, but it wasn't in circulation, so the price fluctuated.
Recently, the current technology was able to achieve a purity of 1,130 copper coins.
The price set by the gold and silver shop was not set by the Li Family Zhuangzi.
"It's a little higher than 90% silver. 1,000 and 80 copper coins." Fujiwara Ma Yang bargained.
"Deal!" The Li Family Zhuangzi weighed the silver a few times. It was about enough.
So some of the Japanese Empire's envoys ate this, and Fujiwara Ma Yang continued to go to other places to buy things with the silver.
Other places didn't accept the silver. First, they couldn't tell if it was real or fake, and second, they weren't familiar with the price.
Moreover, once the silver was out, it involved a lot of money, so the stalls didn't dare to accept it.
The market in the south of the city belonged to the Li Family Zhuangzi. Not to mention dozens of taels of silver, they could accept tens of thousands of taels of silver.
After walking around, Fujiwara Ma Yang chose the food and waited for others to deliver it one after another.
He asked people to gather the small bags and found the place where bread was sold. "There's about 100 taels of silver here. Can I exchange it for a certificate?"
"Yes, as long as it's real, whether it's gold, silver, or copper, we can exchange it for anything."
The person in charge didn't care about the amount and wasn't afraid of the other party faking it either.
After receiving the silver, he looked at the quality and weighed it. He wrote a note and sent someone to bring the silver back to the Li Family Zhuangzi to withdraw the money.
The Japanese Empire's envoys sat down to eat after the food was delivered one after another. The people from the Honglu Temple refused to be invited.
He paid for it himself. "Give me a big chicken drumstick."
"Okay, take the money back." The person in charge agreed, but he didn't accept the money.
The officials of the Tang Dynasty didn't accept the Japanese Empire's invitation to eat, which meant that they were honest to outsiders.
The officials paid for it, so they couldn't accept it. The Li Family Zhuangzi lacked this kind of thing?
The official smiled and put the money away. He didn't give it back and asked, "Do you have mustard and pickled vegetables? I'm not used to that jam. "
"Go to the other side. There's pickled vegetables there, but I don't have any here. Hey! Old Seven, get some pickled vegetables. The people from the Honglu Temple want to eat them. "
The person in charge shouted to the other side, who was 30 meters away.
"Got it. I'll send it over now." The other side shouted back.
The official from the Honglu Temple felt very proud at this moment. The next time the Li Dongzhu wanted to cheat someone, he had to continue to help and do it properly.
A woman came over with two children. The older one was seven or eight years old, and the younger one was four or five years old. The older one was a girl, and the younger one was a boy.
She smiled and said to the person in charge, "The girl has good grades in school. She wants to eat chicken necks. How much can I exchange for? Give some to the boy in the family too. He owes his sister a favor. "
"Madam, you look familiar." The person in charge frowned as if he couldn't remember.
"My son's father is a clerk in Wannian County. I'm going to Zhuangzi to get something." The woman smiled and replied.
"Then what's the point of talking about grades? Just keep it. You can choose what you want to eat. Don't leave anything behind. I'll make the decision."
The person in charge knew that it was the official's family, so he smiled.
If the official came in person, he could get a discount. If the official's immediate family came, he couldn't accept the money.
Giving the official a discount proved that the official was honest and paid for the meal.
If the official's family came, it was considered a subsidy. How could the official's family not eat well?
If the official's family ate free food today, he would definitely tell the official when he returned home.
The official understood that he was still an official. If he made a mistake and was punished, he would lose his benefits.
