Where do children know the market prices in Xi'an during the Tang Dynasty? Don't children with such knowledge know that although China's sugar industry was ahead of other regions at that time, it did not yet have the ability to produce "white sugar" and "soft white sugar"; that is to say, in the Tang Dynasty, Xi'an and even the whole world were There is no "soft white sugar" product yet, and you can't buy it even if you have money. It's not just a matter of "how much more expensive". Wouldn't adults know?
