The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 79 First Arrival in Chang'an
After more than ten days of trekking, everyone arrived in Chang'an.

At this time, a heavy snowfall came, turning Xi'an into Chang'an at once.

Everyone reined in their horses and stood on Leyou Plain, overlooking this great and magnificent capital.Chang'an is like a scroll, unfolding slowly.

In the snowflakes, the majestic and magnificent Chang'an City stands quietly on the bank of the Wei River.The archery tower is tall and majestic, with a magnificent momentum, like the gods guarding Chang'an, solemn and solemn, looking down on the world.The city walls made of granite and blue bricks are simple and thick, like cliffs and red walls, standing thousands of feet high, precipitous and strong.You can only look up to, not offend.

The entire capital city is covered in plain silver and covered in ice for thousands of miles. In the distance, Taiji Palace and Daming Palace, with red walls and golden tiles, carved beams and painted buildings, are particularly eye-catching and shining in the snow all over the sky, like a palace in the sky. The boundary of the world reminds every worshiper of the smallness and humbleness.

This is Chang'an, the capital of Tang Dynasty, the center of the world!Unique and incomparable, it is the pride of every Datang people and the holy land of every Datang people!
Recalling the heyday of Kaiyuan, Xiaoyi still hides thousands of families.

The rice is fat-liquid and the corn is white, and the public and private warehouses are rich and fruitful.

There are no jackals and tigers on the roads of Kyushu, and the sunrise will not be auspicious when traveling far.

Qiwan, Luxuan, and the trains are in frequent shifts, and men and women who farm and mulberry do not lose each other.

The sages in the palace played Cloud Gate, and friends all over the world were glued to each other.

There has been no catastrophe for more than a hundred years, and the rituals and music of uncles and grandchildren are Xiao Helu.

Chang'an City is divided into Miyagi, Imperial City and Outer City.Miyagi is located in the northern center of Chang'an City and is the residence of the real dragon emperor.It is mainly composed of Taiji Palace, Daming Palace, West Neiyuan, East Palace, Taicang and Yeyouting.The imperial city is in the south of the palace city and is the administrative center of the imperial court.The outer city is centered on the palace city and the imperial city, and spreads out to the east, west and south, with Zhuque Street as the central axis, and is divided into two cities with [-] squares, which are respectively under the jurisdiction of Chang'an County and Wannian County.

Chang'an has a population of one million, three religions and nine streams gathered together, gatherings from all corners of the country, foreign barbarians came to court, merchants communicated, and elites from all over the world gathered.Well-ordered, peaceful and peaceful, rich in culture, Wuwei spread far and wide, open and diverse, it is the most prosperous and prosperous city in the world, as evidenced by poems:

Chang'an Avenue is narrow and slanted, with green cattle, white horses and seven fragrant chariots.The jade chariot criss-crossed the main building, and the golden whips flowed towards the Hou family.

Everyone walked along Zhuque Street, and after a while, they saw the gold-lettered signboard of "Bashu Guild Hall" in Chongrenfang.When the children of Bashu arrived in Chang'an, most of them had board and lodging here. "Bashu Guild Hall" has more than [-] guest rooms, which are managed by disciples of Chuanbang.

Shopkeeper Huang received the letter from Fei Ge earlier, and arranged everything two days in advance. When they walked into the alley, he warmly greeted them.

"Guest officers, you've worked hard all the way. The food and hot water are ready. Have a hot meal first, and then take a comfortable bath. When you wake up tomorrow, I guarantee that you will all be strong and vigorous."

Zhang Fen, Taoist Qing Chi and others hurriedly expressed their thanks.

The guys have an orderly division of labor, with quick hands and feet, those who lead the horses, those who carry the luggage, and quickly help everyone settle down.

Sauce beef, smoked chicken, sausage, fried bacon with garlic sprouts, double-cooked pork, salt-fried pork, mapo tofu, a large pot of vinegar soup, a large pot of kimchi... eight meat and eight vegetables, all served steaming one by one.The air is filled with the aroma of prickly ash, chili, onion, ginger and garlic being fried in a hot oil pan, which immediately aroused everyone's appetite.

After drinking and eating, take a hot bath, and the tiredness will be swept away.

……

Bai Fu tidied up, talked to Yichan for a while, saw that it was getting late, and then went back to the house.

There were three beds in the room, and Bai Fu and Fengdu Qingniu sent Liao Muye to one room, and the other was said to be the son of shopkeeper Huang, who helped his father manage the business here.

Bai Fu and Liao Muye were chatting when the door opened and a boy dressed as a clerk walked in.This young man should be only a few years older than the two of them, but he speaks a charlatan and has a fierce appearance. On his thin face, a pair of triangular eyes shine brightly, revealing a capable and ruthless personality.At a glance, they are not the same as the two of them.

When Liao Muye saw this person, he felt somewhat disgusted.Answer a few words, even less speculative.She simply ignored him, chatted with Bai Fu, yawned profusely, and then fell asleep.

Bai Fu was very interested in this person.When he was cooking just now, Bai Fu noticed him.The cauldron weighing more than ten kilograms was light and nimble in his hands.I saw him holding the handle of the pot with his left hand, using his wrist as a fulcrum, and pulling the frying pan from the stove to his side along the edge of the stove.At the same time, tilt the wok slightly forward to transport the dishes to the front half of the wok.At the same time, raise your wrist and hook it back.Then, turn the dishes in the wok upside down, so that the dishes can be turned 180 degrees along the arc of the wok.At the same time, gently and firmly pull and press the pan down to catch the dish, then continue to pull the pan back.Repeat the above actions constantly to make the dishes roll evenly in the wok.

When making the dish of fried kidneys, he shook the pot with his hand and turned up the soup. As soon as the "oil mist" in the soup came into contact with the flame, it quickly ignited the fire and poured it into the spoon.This hand "cooking the fire" caused the fire in the pot to flourish, which was really beautiful, a burst of stir-fry aroma exploded, the dishes were rich but not burnt, and the index finger moved when it smelled it.

Bai Fu thought to himself, watching this person cook, his strength, speed, rhythm, and balance are all masterful, but I don't know whether he is good at using a knife or a sword?

At this moment, he had already untied the towel that tied his head while cooking, and his temples were raised high.Sure enough, he is a master!

　　Unexpectedly, a piece of silk is worth tens of thousands of dollars, and there are fields and valleys that are bleeding now.

　　The Luoyang palace was burned to the ground, and the ancestral temple was newly removed from the fox and rabbit hole.

　　Sad and can't bear to ask the old man, he said that he would be free from chaos in the beginning.

　　The little minister is dull and incompetent, and the imperial court remembers Meng Luzhi.

　　3. The second poem
　　Chang'an Avenue is narrow and slanted, with green cattle, white horses and seven fragrant chariots.The jade chariot criss-crossed the main building, and the golden whips flowed towards the Hou family.

　　The dragon titled the treasure cover bears the morning sun, and the phoenix spits out tassels to bring the sunset glow.A hundred feet of gossamer scrambles around the tree, and a group of delicate birds sing flowers together.

　　There are thousands of gates where bees and butterflies play, green trees and silver terraces with thousands of colors.The road crosses the window to make acacia, and the double ques hang down with phoenix wings.
