If you want to say that the most impressive thing about the big pearl, you can see it from the TV series with thousands of empty alleys.

The most famous of these is none other than Paramount.

But Li Zitao didn't know until he arrived in Mingzhu that there was not even a shadow of Paramount now.

"What's the matter, there isn't even a big dance hall in the public concession, and the only Majestic Hotel closed down in 29?" Li Zitao looked confused.

The sound of Feifei, which is good, what about the city that never sleeps?

In addition to the bright lights in the concessions of various countries, the public concessions seem to be a little depressed at night, and there is no atmosphere of a big pearl at all.

Known as the top 'aristocratic district', the Pearl West District, that is, the West Public Concession, is also full of streets and there are few figures.

"Sir, are you looking for some fun?" Seeing Li Zitao looking at the map of the big pearl there, the welcome boy at the door came over.

"Yes, you know?" Li Zitao nodded, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out a cigarette and handed it to the other party.

"Oh, foreign thing, I haven't seen it. The little guy looked at the sign, didn't know it, pinned it to his ear, and smiled mysteriously: "Then you are asking the right person." ”

"If you want to have fun, your eyes have to look here. The little guy pointed his finger on the map, from the West Public Concession, all the way to Mingzhu County.

"The most lively county?" Li Zitao was a little surprised, it wasn't like this on TV.

"No, look here. The little guy pointed to the section marked 'Nanjing Road-Tibet Road', and said happily: "As long as you have been to Mingzhu, you are familiar with the place, but if you ask him to say his name, what he hears is definitely not Nanjing Road or Tibet Road.

People call this place the dance field road, all the way on both sides of the dazzling, all of them are big dance halls, peak, Far East, MGM, Vienna, Juelu, Daxin,

And the Paramount that our richest man in the pearl is planning to build, it's all here. ”

"Paramount?" Li Zitao was excited when he heard it, and he could be regarded as having found a place.

"Yes, I heard that after the place was built, it was definitely the best big dance hall in our pearl, and it was also installed with a spring floor, and when people danced on it, the ground moved with it, which was interesting."

The little girl's mouth was as if there was a smallpox, and what he said was called a painting and color, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

"Okay, thank you. He stuffed the camel cigarette in his pocket into his hand, and there was a tip of 10 US dollars in it, which was broken for the little coke.

"Hey, what did you say to that fake foreign devil just now?" When the little guy returned, his companion asked with some curiosity.

"Go, what are you talking about, why don't you look at people?" the little guy said unhappily, then raised his head, and took out the cigarette in his pocket proudly.

"Look, there is no brand in the pearl, smell this tobacco, smoke the real fragrance, just gave it. "The little guy cleverly covered up the matter of 10 US dollars.

If people know that he has 10 US dollars in his hand, then something will happen, and 1 dollar can be robbed this year, let alone 10 US dollars.

......

......

I went straight to Mingzhu County, and it was 2 o'clock in the afternoon when I arrived at the place.

The rickshaw just turned into the alley, and oh!

Li Zitao's eyes were almost dazzled, and there were big dance halls with bright lights on both sides.

Dressed in cheongsam, foundation, blush, and fancy women, leaning lazily against the door, or sitting on chairs chatting.

As soon as they saw that a car was coming, everyone stood up excitedly, waved the handkerchief in their hands, and pinched their throats to greet;

"......" is really exciting.

extravagant, too extravagant, more than foreigners can play.

"Sir, the best ballroom in this area is Vienna, why don't you go and take a look?" the coachman began to solicit customers, and as soon as he heard it, he knew that there was a kickback.

"Okay, let's see. Li Zitao doesn't mind, anyway, he's just here to have fun, it's the same everywhere.

But Tulezi has to be pleasing to the eye first, and this will be a vulgar fan on the street.

Vulgar, vulgar unbearable!

The rickshaw finally stopped near the end of the street, and on the right was the Vienna that the driver said, and the neon lights were bright in the daytime, and there were no dancing girls standing at the door.

On the left is the welcome desk, in which stands a foreigner, wearing a suit and leather shoes and a bow tie.

On the right is the parking boy, who also helps guests with luggage, opens doors, runs errands and the like.

"Welcome to Vienna" The foreigner's welcoming words were slippery, although he still had an accent, but the words were very clear.

Whether a dance hall is popular or not depends on whether you have a well-known band, and the Philippines dominates the huge ballroom jazz team.

They are numerous, skilled, funny, and always have some new tricks that make people laugh, so they are sought after by major dance halls.

Secondly, it depends on whether you have a popular dancer, if a dance hall does not even have a popular pillar, it is not far from going out of business.

When you enter the gate, there is a cloakroom on the right, and on the left is a waiting waiter in the inner hall, who takes off his hat and hands over his coat to each other.

"Is anyone here today?" Although it was the first time to come, Li Zitao behaved like a veteran of the flowers.

"Sir, it's time for the ballroom tea dance until 5 o'clock, you have to wait if you want to have fun, but today is the adopted daughter of the president of the flower country, Kobayashi Daiyu will come,

This is her first appearance, and you're in good luck. ”

The sky thundered, and Li Zitao felt as if he had been struck by thunder, feeling scorched from the inside out.

President of the Flower Country, Lin Daiyu?

Sitting in the seat and listening to the waiter, Li Zitao knew that this was the name of the flower, and she was not the first to take this name.

Between him, at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, the most popular dancer in Mingzhu was also called Lin Daiyu, so people like to call this new name 'Xiaolin Daiyu'. ’

"I feel that Jia Baoyu's coffin board is almost unpressable. Li Zitao couldn't help but laugh and asked the waiter to prepare the drink, and looked around casually.

The ballroom is brightly lit, and three or five sofas are gathered in a circle to form a booth.

There are small clerks, ordinary dancers, students, workers, drinking tea, chatting, and occasionally dancing a tune, which looks quite lively.

The most lively song hall is at night, but there is no business during the day, and it is not profitable!

Therefore, the major song halls changed from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. to tea parties, where students and staff all came to drink tea, chat, and have a party.

The ordinary dancers who look stumbling also take advantage of this to make some money.

After all, when it comes to night, they are basically sitting on a cold bench, and they have to find a way to live.

"Sir, how many tickets do you want?" Before the drinks came up, someone came over with a dance ticket first.

Dance tickets, one dollar, 5 tickets.

If you want to dance with a dancer, one is a ticket, 5 dances for one yuan, and if you want to continue after dancing, then you have to buy a ticket.

Buying more and buying less is all voluntary, like some small rich middle-class people, they will buy a few more copies when they come, and when they meet a favorite dancer, they will give 2 or 3 for a dance, which is considered a reward.

There are also those who are pleasing to the dancers, and it is not uncommon to give one at a time.

Of course, these are ordinary dancers, who meet a famous pillar and want to dance and drink, that is to talk about gold.

Although it is rare for a master to throw a thousand dollars at the end of this year, it is not nothing, just like the four famous prostitutes that the waiter just said, each of them is covered in gold.
