In the seventh year of Zhenguan, the weather was bright and clear in autumn.
Li Shimin's mood also became cheerful.
He released a group of prisoners before the New Year last year and agreed with them to come back and execute them this autumn. After more than half a year, all the more than 300 prisoners returned a few days ago, and none of them escaped. He had the illusion that the Tang Dynasty was peaceful and prosperous. Today, he made an appointment with Cheng Yaojin, the most idle person in the court, to take him to stroll around Chang'an City and see the prosperous scene of the Tang Dynasty. "Erlang, this is the East Market." Cheng Yaojin walked half a step in front of Li Shimin and introduced, "There are many merchants coming and going, but the West Market..."
He hadn't finished his words. There was a "crackling" sound not far ahead. The crowd was attracted by the strange noise, and Li Shimin and his companions were no exception. They followed the sound and squeezed into the innermost circle with the help of the Jinwu Guards disguised as civilians. The one who made the noise was a shop. On the plaque, a few skinny, knife-like thin gold characters showed the name of the shop: "Datang Supermarket". "Good words!" Seeing these four words, Li Shimin's eyes lit up. The natural bones are beautiful, and the interest is gentle. At first glance, he liked this word too much. Then, he noticed the owner of the shop. A handsome young man. He was about twenty years old, with his hair tied up and a crown. He had a bookish scent that ordinary people did not have, and... an independent and worldly feeling. How could such a good young man become a businessman? Xu Mo ignored the crowd, put a display stand on the store door, and shouted: "Come, take a walk and have a look, Datang Supermarket is having a big opening sale, 95% off everything." "Only for this day, don't miss it if you pass by." Opening discount!
The crowd cast a surprised look.
Xu Mo was also a little helpless. He stayed up all night to read the thesis yesterday. As a result, when he woke up, he found that he had come to the Tang Dynasty and replaced a person with the same name and surname as himself.
His parents are gone. Although he has some spare money, he is not a noble family, but just an ordinary merchant. He left a shop in the East Market and a small house in Yiyangfang.
By the way, there is an unexpected product-a system called "The Strongest Supermarket".
In fact, it is a supply source.
Each level unlocks certain goods, and you have to purchase them from here and then sell them.
For example, at level one, four goods are unlocked: spicy strips, facial masks, bread, and edible salt.
Of course...
Although the Tang Dynasty is strong, it is ancient after all. It is not as peaceful and tranquil as in later generations. In the opening gift package, Xu Mo opened a special skill: "Martial Arts Master". The body and bones have evolved to the most extreme state of human beings, and even the brain has many more fighting and fighting skills.
As well as a string of firecrackers and a signboard.
The signboard with the thin gold font is the product of the system.
The sound just now was made by the firecrackers.
"Shall we go in and take a look?" Li Shimin turned to look at Cheng Yaojin.
Cheng Yaojin nodded, but his face was not very excited. He was not very interested in the East Market. Pingkangfang was just next door. It would be great to go to Pingkangfang.
But... he didn't dare to take His Majesty to that kind of place.
Many people were attracted, but not many came in. Only two or three followed Li Shimin and the others in.
The decoration and furnishings in the room were somewhat beyond Li Shimin's expectations. There
was a shelf in the center, with four areas on it, and four kinds of goods were placed.
"Shopkeeper." Li Shimin walked to a shelf casually, picked up the goods, looked at it, and there was some surprise in his eyes, "What is this?"
It was soft to the touch, but a little tough, like a special kind of fabric.
The most important thing is...
this thing that looks like fabric is completely transparent, showing what is wrapped inside it, a strip of bright red stuff.
Xu Mo came over, took a look, and introduced: "This is spicy strips."
"Spicy strips?" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows.
The word spicy reminded him of pepper and garlic, which are his favorite spices.
"Is this food?" he asked again.
Xu Mo nodded: "Yes, it tastes very good, I highly recommend it."
After saying that, he paused: "This thing is now the top brand in my store." Top brand?
This word is used.
Cheng Yaojin looked at Xu Mo with some appreciation in his eyes, it seems that they are kindred spirits!
Li Shimin pondered over it, and soon he saw the grooves on the package. He immediately knew that he had to open the package. He was about to tear it open. He was naturally very interested in the food he had never seen before.
Xu Mo raised his hand and pressed it on his hand: "Wait a minute, the store is small and the profit is thin. We will not taste anything. If you want to eat, you have to pay."
"How much?" Li Shimin asked, waving his hand, Cheng Yaojin took out his purse.
Xu Mo stretched out three fingers: "Three cents, or the equivalent of grain or cloth."
Cheng Yaojin paid neatly. It was only three cents, not even enough for a glass of Pingkangfang wine.
Xu Mo took it and asked the system to check the content of these copper coins. After confirming that they were not counterfeit coins mixed with lead, he put them away and nodded to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin's eyelids jumped.
Although...
There are indeed counterfeit money rampant in the market now. It is right to prevent some of it, but seeing the people doing this with his own eyes still makes him feel a little embarrassed.
Li Shimin simply pretended that he had not seen it, and directly tore open the package, and a pungent aroma came out.
There was a faint aroma of pepper.
But more, there were other aromas that Li Shimin could not name.
This aroma made his mouth water.
Xu Mo watched expectantly on the side. The people of the Tang Dynasty had never really eaten spicy food, and this kind of spicy strips... even when he ate it for the first time, he felt spicy.
I don't know what the reaction of the people of the Tang Dynasty would be when eating this kind of spicy strips.
The red oil was spreading, and Li Shimin pushed out one and took a careful bite.
Capsaicin immediately spread in his mouth, and a faint burning sensation went along his tongue and infected the jaw. In the blink of an eye, Li Shimin's cheeks and ears were filled with a deep red. It also rushed up along the nasopharyngeal tube and nasolacrimal duct.
Li Shimin could not help shedding tears, which mixed with his snot and kept falling down.
Xu Mo raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.
Good boy...
He actually cried because of the spiciness?
Li Shimin couldn't stop crying.
But... Cheng Yaojin and Jinwuwei on the side didn't know about "chili pepper". Seeing Li Shimin's appearance, they only had a bad premonition in their hearts.
It's over!
His Majesty has been poisoned!
The surrounding Jinwuwei immediately took action and rushed towards Xu Mo. They wanted to immediately catch the "murderer" who poisoned His Majesty and catch all the people behind him!
