The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty Chapter 82: Daliao Shopping Group

The ceremonial room of the Privy Council was already very busy with the reception of embassies from various countries. At this time, it actually received an application from the Liao embassy, ​​that is, to borrow the cooks from Duting Xiyi to them. ...

According to reliable information, this is because, on the first day of the royal banquet, they felt that they did not have a good meal for the reception banquet of the Western Xia embassy!

The people in the ceremonial room suddenly exploded. They were all careful and careful, but why did the Liao people think so? It's a real hit, those royal chefs!

Fortunately, the Liao Kingdom is not protesting yet. If it is a protest, then this is a very big thing. It will be thought that the Liao Kingdom's embassy is deliberately slow to be treated.

The ceremonial room patted the face, hurry up, if they want the cook, they will send it quickly, it doesn't matter if it must be the one from Xixia, anyway, everyone knows that it is the cook of Kaifeng House.

The ceremonial room doesn't know. This is also because the envoys did not eat the dishes brought by the Western Xia mission that day. It just suits their taste, so I just applied casually to satisfy my subordinates.

In any case, the cooks of Kaifeng Prefecture were urgently sent to Dutingyi, where the Liaoning mission was staying. However, they would not cook the dishes on the reception banquet. They would cook the classic dishes of Kaifeng Prefecture cafeterias. .

However, the people in the Liao mission were also very satisfied, especially Yelu Yilu, who once again ate the Eight Treasures Rice, and felt that his homesickness was relieved a lot.

……

The Liao Kingdom highly advocated Buddhism, and the emperor also greatly admired it, which made Buddhist culture penetrate into every detail of life. As a painter, Yelu also painted murals in various monasteries at the beginning.

When I came to Bianjing, Yelu had no choice but to visit the Daxiangguo Temple.

In addition to appreciating the Buddhist culture there, Yelu Coil has a very important purpose, that is, purchasing!

In addition to carrying official gifts, the envoys between Song and Liao often do private trade to earn extra money, or to facilitate relatives and friends. Yelu did not bring any goods, but was entrusted by others and needed to buy some Ru porcelain and tea to go back.

In this way, Daxiangguo Temple is more able to meet his needs.

Yelü walked to the Daxiangguo Temple, swaying around the temple, swaying, and even saw the Song Dynasty boy named Yun Yanhui, so he happily extended his hand to say hello.

"What a coincidence!" Yelu said.

"Yeah, huh." Yun Yan said back to her heart that it was not a coincidence at all. Although he came here today to handle official business, he was stopped just as he was about to leave.

As soon as Yelu walked out of the inn, he was followed by the people from Kaifeng Prefecture, but today the Daxiangguo Temple opened the market, there were too many people, and the people who followed them felt it was a little difficult. They found that Yunyan was back here. turned to him for help.

Yun Yanhui had no choice but to run over to Yelu's shoes, ready to supervise in an open and fair manner.

Sure enough, Yelu Yaolu greeted him excitedly when he saw him--if he didn't say hello when he saw him, it would be really doubtful.

"Yelü Tongzhi, what are you doing here?" Yun Yanhui asked seemingly casually.

The information of these Liao envoys has long been ascertained by the imperial court. Yun Yan went back and asked Bao Zheng. After checking the archives, he knew that this official was a Liao native who knew the same thing about Xuanhui in the Southern Academy, and he was still a legend. figure.

He once committed a crime for murder in Liao Kingdom, but he painted a portrait of Liao Shengzong Yelu Longxu, and was pardoned. Because the painting was so good, this time he was in the embassy to paint a portrait of Renzong. Yes, after finishing the painting, I will take it back to the current Liao Emperor Xingzong to collect it.

Just looking at the bright sun now, I can't imagine that this person has such an experience. Zhao Yunchu is really stupid and sweet, he is just a bean paste bag, cut black.

"Brother Yun, you can just call me Hailin, which is my name." Yelu said with a smile, "Before I set off, some relatives and friends asked me to bring back some Ru kiln porcelain and tea, and I'll come and buy them."

Where did Yun Yan know about the mission, she couldn't help widening her eyes, "It's amazing, do you still allow purchasing?"

"Purchasing? Well, it's purchasing." Yelu said, "It's just that I don't know much about porcelain and tea, can you help me?"

"Oh, okay... I'll introduce you to buy things." Yun Yan recalled, we welcome this, and we welcome Liao's purchasing agents to come to purchase goods, which can be regarded as a contribution to the economy of Bianjing.

"Well, by the way, are you interested in bringing some special items back to your relatives and friends, or buying them back for sale?" Yun Yan asked, rolling her eyes.

Yelü's shoes are really tempting, "What kind of special items?"

"There is absolutely nothing in the Liao Kingdom... We are in short supply in the Song Dynasty. Let me show you this. We have this blue paper and Kaifeng lamps." Yun Yan introduced these things closely.

Yelü Yalu was very excited to hear this, and felt that the people of Tokyo lived too delicately. Although there were many Han people living in the Liao Kingdom, they also bought a lot of Song people's goods, but it was still different from the Tokyo People's Congress. The capital of the Song Dynasty.

"Wait, Brother Yun, wait a second, I think my comrades will like these things very much, I'll go and call them too." Yelu's blood is boiling, feeling that good things can't be enjoyed by himself. , so he forcibly pulled Yunyan back to Dutingyi, climbed up and shouted, and asked who was going to go shopping.

Who came to the Song Dynasty and hasn't ordered a purchasing task, and I heard that Yelu's shoes were brought by Tokyo natives, and they were able to introduce local specialties, and they immediately responded.

Yunyan replied: "..."

Damn it, it's just inexplicable, why did you let me lead the group all of a sudden? And with so many people going out together, do you want the supervisors of Kaifeng House to vomit blood?

Yun Yanhui glanced at the plainclothes man in Kaifeng Mansion who was in the corner who was in charge of stalking, and saw that the other party was also sweating, and he nodded to himself, so he had to twitch the corner of his mouth and folded a stick on the side of the courtyard wall Thin bamboo, wrapped in a red cloth, and swayed.

"Please look at this little flag, follow me, and don't fall behind..."

……

Yun Yanhui was carrying a small flag and led a group of Liao people to shuttle in Bianjing.

Today is December 28th, and it will be Zhengdan soon. Every day, people from Honglu Temple come to bring these Liao embassies to practice the etiquette of Asuka, but other times are their free activities It's time.

And now, they choose to go shopping with Yunyan.

There are also many people who have been envoys to the Song Dynasty, but they all believe that there has never been a person as professional as Yun Yanhui, not only seems to be familiar with every shop in the streets, but also each of them Questions can be answered perfectly, from where can I buy the most cost-effective porcelain to what to buy if I want to bring some special products to my older aunt...

It is more comprehensive than the embassy ambassador!

——It can only be said that even if the embassy ambassador is very enthusiastic, not every embassy ambassador is a native of Tokyo.

"Brother Yun, can we bring this Hehua fish back?" Someone else asked.

Yun Yanhui came through carrying the flag, "Fresh fish? No, it will die very quickly outside this environment, and once the fish dies, the taste will be much worse. You can buy prepared dried fish. , there are also other flavors, but it will be slightly more expensive."

Look, he has another great solution.

Yunyan led them back into a shop that Kaifeng government cooperated with. The lights were sold here. There were Kaifeng lights of various sizes, and dozens of Liao people came in and filled the shop at once.

Yunyan leaned back against the door and asked the shopkeeper to introduce them to them.

Yun Yan Hui silently counts, counts the heads, can't miss one...

Liao people buy and buy without hesitation, and then urge Yunyan to go back to the next shopping spot.

Yunyan is going to cry when she returns, this shopping group is so good, everyone is in a hurry, and they are very rich.

Indeed, many embassies these days are filled with royal relatives and relatives. That is to say, many of the Liao people in these embassies are actually purchasing for the princes, nobles, princes and princesses of the Liao Kingdom...

Not bad money, not bad money!

Under the strong promotion of Yunyan Huidi and the cooperation of all shopkeepers, these Liao (gou) envoys (wu) regiment members bought a lot of items with blood. This atmosphere is really touching. There are many companions around, especially when Yun Yan Huilao is talking next to him, "Now you only need 998 for shopping, you will earn if you buy it, and you will lose money a day later..." "This is basically a jump in the property price!", even more so. Let them do it without knowing it.

That's it, I'm very happy. It's the first time I've been here. I've been here many times.

Of course, Yun Yanhui was also very careful not to take them to buy books. Although some important materials are not allowed to be printed and published these days, they are not afraid of ten thousand just in case.

It was just such a shopping spree that at night, many stores were closed, so I went back with no end in sight.

What surprised Yun Yanhui was that some envoys from other countries found this scene and asked the envoys to provide such services. How can these people have this kind of awareness, and it is impossible to give you a map for you to find by yourself, or Yunyan will go back and write them a shopping route. Buy one by one!

Both the Privy Council and the Honglu Temple ended up feeling very happy, not only because of the promotion of the economy. These envoys, every time they come, they not only do some private trade, but they also like to exchange cultures.

No matter if they came or were sent to the Liao Kingdom by the Song Dynasty, they would always drag the Song Dynasty officials to write articles and poems, so that every time they chose the embassy envoys and various envoys, they were closely related to the selection of culture. Naturally, I didn't choose the aspect of fun, isn't it just to not capsize in the gutter, as a cultural person, it must be the number one in the Song Dynasty!

So, this time everyone's attention was diverted by the **** shopping, which made the reception staff relieved, great, no need to prepare poems to endorse the pair at any time...

The further development is that Yun Yanhui himself did not expect that this shopping route map was circulated and was pirated by some printing shops. Because the source is a foreign mission, it is particularly valuable. Approved this version.

This map was specially sold to tourists from other places and even foreign countries, and it was very popular. Later, almost every person who came to Bianjing had a copy, and on this basis, it was continuously developed and renovated, and it became a must-have for entering Beijing.
