In the blink of an eye, autumn is deeper, Chang'an City is full of autumn, and at this time, Chang'an City is suddenly lively.

Merchants poured into Chang'an City one after another, and in addition to these merchants, there were also many students.

This made Hualang and them very strange, why did Chang'an City suddenly pour into so many people in autumn?

When he met Li Jing'an, Hua Lang consulted Li Jing'an on this issue, Li Jing'an listened to Hua Lang's question, laughed a few times, and then said: "Actually, this is the case, Chang'an City because it was the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and at that time every year in the autumn, there will be a commodity exchange meeting and a poetry conference here, this commodity exchange meeting and the poetry conference are connected, they take what they need from each other, the playboy is well-informed, and he must also know that the businessman is rich, but his knowledge is not very high, and they want to be more elegant in the commodity exchange meeting, It is necessary to rely on those scholars, and these scholars, although they are talented, but there is not a lot of money, if they can get the funding of those businessmen, he will enter Beijing to take the exam one day, and there will be entanglement, and there will be a glimmer of hope for this opportunity, so in the next few days, Chang'an City will be very lively. ”

After Li Jingan finished speaking, Wen Meng's heart was already excited, she usually likes to join in the fun, like this kind of fun, how can she not go?

So at this time, Wen Meng asked, "There is such a grand event in Chang'an City, do the people from your government participate?" ”

"The government people don't attend their kind of meetings, but they will send people to supervise where they are, so that they don't make inappropriate remarks or quarrels, so that they can stop them."

After hearing this, Wen Meng pushed Hualang: "Since the people from the government can go, why don't we go and play with it." ”

Hua Lang naturally had the heart to see it, so he nodded again and again: "Of course, such a grand event, it would be too resentful if you don't go, if Lord Li has nothing to do, let's go together." ”

Li Jingan nodded again and again.

There are still two days before the commodity exchange and poetry conference, and a street in the east of Chang'an City has been contracted by those merchants, who are ready to hold various commodity exhibitions and some business negotiations on that street two days later.

On both sides of the road are stalls, and at the corner of the street, there is a long table, on which there is nothing at this time, but after two days, pen, ink, paper and inkstone will be placed on it for those students to write poems and lyrics.

Hua Lang and Wen Meng walked down this street, and they could almost imagine the bustling scene here two days later.

At the end of this street, there are four or five inns, the inns here are all very large, bigger than Hualang's purple gas from the east, and now because there are only two days left before the commodity exchange conference, the inn is slow to live.

When they saw that they had come, they were going to go in and eat something casually.

Because Hua Lang and others are famous, after the innkeeper saw them, he immediately gave them a good seat by the window on the second floor, and brought the best wine and food in the store, and after bringing the wine and food, the innkeeper had no intention of leaving, which made Hua Lang a little strange and asked, "Is there anything else the boss does?" ”

The innkeeper looked a little embarrassed, but soon, he smiled again and again: "I have a reluctant request, and I ask the playboy to agree." ”

Hanalang shrugged and said, "Oh, what does the boss say." ”

"That's right, after the end of this commodity exchange conference and poetry conference, several inns here will also take advantage of the excitement to hold a food competition, the playboy is the owner of the Purple Qi Donglai Inn, and he must be very good at studying food, so ......"

"So what?"

"Therefore, I want to ask the playboy to take him as an apprentice and teach him some other dishes, as long as the playboy is willing to teach, he will definitely repay the playboy."

Hua Lang glanced at the innkeeper, he was about thirty years old, his face was slightly fat, he was a very typical chef, Hua Lang saw him so earnest, and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Fan Tong!"

"Rice bucket?"

"No, it's Fan Tong?"

Wen Meng smiled: "I know it's Fan Tong, I'm joking with you." ”

Fan Tong was a little embarrassed, and then looked at Hua Lang again, he wanted to know if Hua Lang would accept him.

For the cuisine, Hua Lang is just a little interested, plus he has thousands of years of experience than the people here, so the things he makes are more delicious and fresher, if he talks about the knife skills in the kitchen or something, he really doesn't dare to compliment, but this Fan Tong was a chef before, as long as he teaches him some concepts, and others let him slowly understand, maybe he can also have a lot of results.

Thinking like this, Hua Lang nodded: "I'm not qualified enough to accept apprentices, but I can give you some advice." ”

Fan Tong was overjoyed when he saw that Hua Lang agreed to give him advice, so he hurriedly ordered someone to bring them some good wine and good food to Hua Lang again, and the whole table was free, and in the future, Hua Lang and they came here to eat, all for free.

After Fan Tong left, Hua Lang and the others began to eat, and just when they were about to eat, there was a sudden sound of quarrel outside the street, Hua Lang got up and pushed open the window to look out, only to see where a few scholars were arguing on the street outside, but because of some distance, they could only hear the sound, and what they were arguing about, but it was not clear.

Because the meal was not finished yet, Hua Lang didn't want to pursue it too much, so he sat down and ate again, but gradually, the voice became louder and louder, and even had the intention of making a move, and no one on the street stepped forward to persuade him, which made Hua Lang a little unbearable, and put down his chopsticks: "I'll go down and have a look!" ”

Wen Meng had already eaten almost, so he hurriedly took Hua Lang's hand: "I'll go too!" ”

The two got off the inn and came outside, and the scholars quarreled even more, and after Hua Lang stepped forward, he didn't stop it immediately, he listened for a while, and after listening for a while, he didn't know how to stop it.

It turned out that these people were discussing some academic issues, Hua Lang listened carefully, but also understood a little, it turned out that they were discussing the destruction of the Six Kingdoms, Qin annihilated the Six Kingdoms, the general trend, throughout the ages, everyone has their own views on this period of history, some people say that the collapse of the Six Kingdoms is because of the strength of the Qin State, and some think that there are various other reasons.

These students are talking about it, it can really be said that the discussion is inseparable, Hua Lang listened to it on the side, and he was a little confused, after all, the things they said were too academic, how could people like Hua Lang understand, and at this time, Wen Meng couldn't listen to it anymore, and took Hua Lang's hand, and he was about to leave.

But at this moment, a person suddenly stood up.
