Qu Sadana, Chinese translation can be used as 'ground milk'.Master Xuanzang translated Qu Satana as Khotan in the "Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty".On the east wall of Judefang in Chang'an County, there is also a place called Qu Satan Naqu, which can also be translated as Khotanese Qu.The alleys in the Tang Dynasty are called songs.This is a very long alley, and it is also very lively, and you can see blue-eyed and deep-eyed Hu people everywhere.This alley, the history is not long, it does grow with Daxing City, and it is also the favorite place for those Hu people to come to Chang'an.Here, there are the most authentic Western Regions barbecue, the most authentic Western Regions wine, and the most authentic Western Regions orchid.Walking into Qu Satana Qu, you can smell the strong aroma of barbecue permeating the alleys.The Tang people and the Hu people will gather here, sing and dance, experience the most primitive and pure Western Regions, and enjoy the most delicious Western Regions.Su Dawei knew about this place for a long time, but he didn't come to it.The reason is simple!
The consumption here is not cheap.Most of the people who can spend here are small and wealthy.Here, you can see princes and nobles, literati and, as well as large and small merchants, who will also appear here.Of course, there is another type of the most common type of people in Qu Sadannaqu, who are the broken nobles from the Western Regions.Broken nobles can also be called broken settlements.They were originally princes and nobles of a small country in the Western Regions, but due to the collapse of the country, they were exiled in Chang'an.Yes, seek opportunities here; Some are drunk and dreaming of death.With their former identities, they can always find some sense of existence and solace in this alley."
This is it."
Small stopped in front of a liquor store and said with a smile."
Pishan?"
Su Dawei looked at the door plaque of the wine store and read word by word.He pointed to the line of text on top of the three words and said softly, "What kind of text is this?"
”"Tocharian Rowan, Qu Sadana means.""
Isn't this alley called Qu Satana?""
The meaning of writing this text is that his family's barbecue is the most authentic Khotanese barbecue."
After listening to An Wensheng's explanation, Su Dawei suddenly realized.Isn't this the same as the 'Lanzhou ramen' of later generations?"
On this street, there are more than a dozen shops that use the name Qu Sadana.But to be honest, after I ate it, I still think this one tastes the most authentic.The most authentic Western Regions ingredients are used, and the chef is said to have made barbecue meat for the king of Khotan.And his wine, which is also very authentic, after you taste it, you absolutely like it. ”Ha, it's really a routine.Even the gimmick of the imperial kitchen was taken out.Su Dawei has a feeling as if he is in the world of his previous life.He looked at the front of the liquor store and said, "It doesn't look big here." ”"To make such a big deal, there is only one cook here, named Sanghan Upo.From the selection of ingredients to the ingredients to the baking, it is all by himself.If the restaurant is big, he can't be busy at all.But even so, he only receives ten tables of guests a day, and he has to make a reservation in advance, otherwise it is impossible to eat. ”"Is business so good?""
It's not just good, it's hot."
Small said proudly: "People like us who came here temporarily, it's not because I have a good relationship with Monk Wubo, and it's impossible to eat his barbecue."
Let's go, let's go inside.Brother Ami, we must have a good meal today. ”"Why only mention Ami, me?"
Zhou Liang pulled down his face, so he said unpleasantly.Small immediately hugged Zhou Liang's shoulders and said with a smile: "Second brother, didn't Ami just regain his reputation."
Let's not talk about it, didn't I give you a warm welcome when you came?
Hahaha, alright, alright, let's go in. ”Small said, pulling Zhou Liang inside.Su Dawei and An Wensheng glanced at each other, smiled and followed behind Smaller.The area of Pishan is really not large.A courtyard covering an area of about one acre, a main hall, and ten transparent wings on both sides.In the center, there is a large fire pit, the charcoal fire is raging below, and the iron shelves are above the fire.On each iron shelf, there are skewers of meat, under the scorching of the charcoal fire, the oil is bubbling, and on the low charcoal fire, there are puffs of green smoke, and the fragrance is overflowing.A tall man, about the same size as An Wensheng, but much more burly and strong, was shirtless, circling around the fire pit.Looking at his size, his weight is around 300 catties.The tendons and flesh of the grave are shiny with sweat.However, his movements are very agile, not affected by his stature in the slightest, and he is as agile as a monkey.There were more than a dozen iron shelves with barbecue, and I saw him turning the barbecue for a while, oiling it for a while, and sprinkling it for a while.Every movement seems very natural, very relaxed, and there is no panic at all, as if it were natural.Cangchang, the strong man picked up a big knife placed by the fire, brushed and danced.Pieces of roast meat of different sizes and shapes fall onto the plate on the side.Hearing his roar, a few helpers hurriedly ran up, picked up huge plates, and sent them into the rooms.Immediately, another round of barbecue meat was taken out of the main room, and it looked like it was about to be grilled on the fire."
Brother Seng Wubo, are you okay?"
Small hurriedly shouted loudly and walked up quickly.The strong man turned around, and when he saw that it was Small, he immediately grinned, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth."
Brother Small, you're here again?""
Haha, I don't eat the barbecue of the monk Wubo brothers for three days, I feel uncomfortable.However, I brought a few friends with me today.I know you're a little embarrassed, but don't let me lose face. ”The strong man's gaze fell on Su Dawei and the others."
Since it's your friend of Brother Small, that's my friend.Sura, go and vacate my room for my brother Smaller.Brother Small, I just got a batch of wine from your hometown here, would you like to have some?
I've tasted it, and it does taste better than the wines of Broken Leaf City. ”"yes, then I'll have to eat it well."
Small's face lit up, excited.He turned back to Su Dawei and said, "Brother Ami, do you hear that?"
It's a wine from my hometown, and you've come by chance this time. ”A skinny teenager ran out.He said hello to Small, and took Smaller and the others into noon.In the main room, there was a smell of blood.Freshly slaughtered cattle and sheep are processed here.There are more than a dozen small workers busy inside.When Small and the others came in, no one paid attention."
Uncle Small, business is good today, and the guests want a lot, so you may have to wait a little longer.""
No problem, no problem, bring your master's pickled side dishes and milk wine first.Wait a minute, and bring it when his roast comes up. ”Across the main house, there is a small courtyard.A young man named Sula moved a large table out and let the four of them sit in the courtyard.It's almost Mid-Autumn Festival, and the weather is getting cooler.But the yard is still very warm, I don't know if it's because the fire in front of me is too strong, anyway, sitting in it, I don't feel too cold.Sula took some melons and fruits from the Western Regions, then sent another pot of milk wine, and left."
He's not a monk, why is he called Monk Wubo?"
Small poured a bowl of milk wine for several people, glanced at Zhou Liang, and opened his mouth to answer.However, before he could speak, An Wensheng on the side spoke first."
Khotan worships Buddha, and almost all of them are Buddhists.The name is preceded by the word monk, which is actually a status symbol.I guess that this monk Ubo's status in Khotan should not be too low, otherwise he would not have used this name.Monk is the representative of his status, and Ubo is the name. ”"An Jun really knows the Western Regions very well."
Small couldn't help but admire, raised the milk wine, and drank it all.Su Dawei couldn't help but glance at An Wensheng again, and felt that this An Wensheng was indeed a little different.In this era, Datang is the most powerful country in the world.As a Tang person, he has an unparalleled sense of tolerance and pride.But at the same time, a strong sense of pride can also make them overlook many things.For example, the customs and habits of the Western Regions, many people are not very clear.It is true that there are not many people like An Wensheng who knows the Western Regions well and have been to Damascus.It's just that while Su Dawei sighed at An Wensheng's erudition, he didn't know that An Wensheng was also very curious about him."
Su Shuai, how do you still know about Darius?""
What?""
I've been to Persia, and many Persians don't know the story of Darius now.""
This, I saw it in a book.""
What book?""
I can't remember, what is it called?
It was written by a person named Fa Xian in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.You also know that Di Renjie Di Langjun, who used to borrow my house, is a knowledgeable person.He had a lot of books with him, and that was one of them.I also saw it by chance, but then there was an accident at home, and my eldest brother and I had to flee in order to save people, and Jidu Lane, where I lived, was also bulldozed.So I don't know, that book is still there. ”Su Dawei's eyes were rolling, and in the midst of the electric light, he thought of an excuse.It's all to blame on Di Renjie!
Anyway, Di Renjie is not in Chang'an, and An Wensheng has no way to find it.Besides, even if he found Di Renjie, the book was gone......
Di Renjie brought hundreds of books, and it was estimated that he couldn't remember them completely.Anyway, as long as he bites to death and sees it from Di Renjie, no one can do anything."
Really?
It would be a shame if it was destroyed. ”An Wensheng was convinced, and shook his head slightly.He knew about Su Dawei and Di Renjie, so he didn't think there was a problem.As for the author 'Fa Xian' that Su Dawei said, it is not made up, but it is indeed a person.Many people think that Master Xuanzang was the first person to go to Tianzhu to ask for Buddhist scriptures.But in fact, the first person who really traveled west alone and went to Tianzhu to seek Buddhist scriptures was the Eastern Jin Dynasty monk Fa Xian.According to historical records, Fa Xian set out from Chang'an, arrived in Tianzhu through the Western Regions, and then took a ship from the Lion Kingdom, that is, Sri Lanka in later generations, through the Strait of Malacca, all the way to Guangzhou.After Fa Xian, about a hundred years later, Master Xuanzang embarked on the road to the west."
However, I haven't heard of this book, and I'll inquire when I get back.""
An Shuai is interested in Persia?""
Haha, it's not."

An Wensheng laughed and said, "I'm just interested in everything I don't know." ”Su Dawei and An Wensheng talked, and on the side, Small had no chance to interject at all.After An Wensheng finished speaking, he finally couldn't help but say, "Ami, An Jun just called you 'Su Shuai', what do you mean?"
”"Oh, Simoer, you don't know, Ami is not the Ami of the past now, he is now the bad deputy marshal of Chang'an County.""
Huh?"
Small was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed.He hurriedly picked up the wine and said, "Brother Ami, no, it's Su Shuai."
I've long known that you are not an ordinary person, but I didn't expect to be innocent, so you were promoted, congratulations. ”Su Dawei smiled and said: "Smaller, you still call me Brother Ami, I am not used to the words Su Shuai."
This is An Wensheng, and he is also the deputy marshal of the bad people in Chang'an County.However, he is more powerful than me, and he is the son of An Xinggui, the general of the Right Marquis.In the future, if you have any trouble, you can ask him for help, and he will definitely not refuse you. ”General Wuhou of the right?
Small's eyes lit up again.He hurriedly raised his glass and toasted An Wensheng.An Wensheng was not reserved, and after taking a bite, he said: "As long as it is not a violation of the law, I can solve it, and I will definitely help." ”The implication is that if I can't solve it, don't ask me for help.But for Small, An Wensheng's sentence is worth a thousand gold.He is not from the Tang Dynasty, he came to Chang'an from Persia to do business, and of course he knows how important it is to have a backer.Don't underestimate bad people.In the eyes of ordinary people, bad people are not worth mentioning, and it is even difficult to get into the hall of elegance.But for a businessman like Small, bad people are more useful than county orders.In Chang'an, he is not familiar with life, and if he wants to do a good business, he has to face all kinds of difficulties.For a small businessman like him, those big people will not make things difficult.Smaller's biggest trouble is the local scoundrels from Chang'an.These guys, it's hob meat, it's hard to deal with.If you don't give them enough benefits, they will turn against you at every turn.But how much oil and water can a small businessman like Small have?
Once or twice is fine, but after a long time, he really can't stand it.Report to the officer?
Useless.Those martial marquis took people away, and they would come out again in ten days and half a month.At that point, they'll get into trouble even harder.Even, even if you know Pei Xingjian, it may not be of any use.Why is it said that bad people are useful?
The so-called county officials are not as good as the current management.A good bad guy has to be black and white.The bad guys are people in the government, but at the same time they have a close connection with the heads of the various squares.Wuhou can't control those scoundrels, but it's very easy for their group leader to clean them up.Chang'an, surrounded by eight waters.I really want to kill a person, throw it into the water, and I can't even find the body.Su Dawei became a bad deputy marshal, which is definitely a great guarantee for Smaller."
Brother Ami, then we must not get drunk today.""
Okay!"
Of course, Su Dawei would not refuse, so he agreed with a smile.Small was excited, got up and walked out.I don't know what he was doing outside, but after a while, I saw Monk Upo walk in with Sura and a few small workers, holding a plate of barbecue.In an instant, the small courtyard was filled with a strong smell of meat......
