"Chang'an Everything House" is hidden in the shabbiest alley in Pingkangfang. The crooked wooden signboard reads "Everything House" with small words next to it: "Does everything except serious things."
The shop owner Li Yin is a drunkard who always holds a wine flask. The Tang knife wrapped around his waist is said to contain the secrets of the previous dynasty, but it is often used by him to chop firewood in exchange for wine; the accountant Du Zimei is a loser, and the iron pen can write poems and expose the dirty things; the handyman Aman is a Turkic girl, her appetite is as big as that of a camel, and there is a sharp knife hidden in her Hu Xuanwu.
The jobs they took on were more complicated than those of the Hu merchants in the West City: finding parrots who could write poetry, telling lies for bachelors, and writing love letters to the captain of the school... But who would have expected that there were secret messages under the wings of the parrots, evidence of fraud hidden in the poem manuscripts, and even the broken knives of drunkards. What they were cutting were the undercurrents of the prosperous Kaiyuan era - palace strife, market intrigues, and the secrets of the Western Regions, all entangled with this group of guys who wanted to make a living.
When the Tang sword slashed towards the steam fortress, the poem turned into a sharp blade, and Hu Xuanwu swept up the flying sand, these three bastards understood: the so-called prosperous age, but there is someone to block the knife for you. And they, in the end, will use the most unorthodox attitude to guard Chang'an, a place where flowers and undercurrents are intertwined. (The novel is based on "Gintama", if there is any similarity, I kneel down and apologize🧎🏻♂️)
