Chapter 81: Tea Wai
One evening in late autumn, stepping on the drizzle, a personable boy and brother walked through Shaanxi Lane with his entourage. The age of the entourage is about thirty years, and the body is strong and straight, and the facial features are upright and outstanding. The younger one is only ten years old, although his face is handsome and extraordinary, but he can't stop looking around, but he betrays his heart. The eldest of the two was dressed as an ordinary businessman, and the young man was dressed up in a modern way.
It looks like the eldest and youngest of a big family with their followers, and the brothel companion is also a knowledgeable person, so he didn't dare to slack off, so he stepped forward, grabbed the little brother's sleeve and left: "This little brother is really a dragon and phoenix among people, my girls must like it." I don't know which girl I like? The old slave is not talented, he is in charge today and will give you a preferential price. ”
Cream Xiaosheng flicked his sleeves: "Pulling and pulling in broad daylight, what kind of system!" ”
The companions are all dogs, and they bite and don't let go. The older one was caught off guard and was firmly held by him: "This son-in-law, my Xiaocui has been waiting for you for a long time." ”
Cream Xiaosheng had a chill: "Where is this, where is this, there is really Xiaocui who said this." If it's in the Northeast, isn't it just sauerkraut on the emerald flowers? ”
The soliciting scenes in movies and television flickered in my mind one by one, and the teenager nodded and smiled lewdly, which seemed to have endless aftertaste.
When the companions see that the business can be successful, isn't that chasing snakes and shadowing? Immediately push and hug. You must know that these companions, commonly known as "turtle gong", rely on this to make a living, and the young people are still young, and they can't resist the wolf-like figure of the companions. But the middle-aged man was very good, and the two companions were close, but they were grabbed by him and put aside.
However, when he looked back, he saw the boy pouting at him, suggesting that someone was watching from a distance, and immediately realized that this was a good opportunity for self-defilement. At that moment, he naturally flattened the torn coat, shook his sleeves, and walked towards the alley. With this, the boy has been half-attached and half-led into a courtyard in the alley. Between pushing and shoving, it seems to see the word "cloud" and "auspicious" on the side of the main entrance of the courtyard.
A middle-aged woman who was plopping on **, wearing lipstick, and not knowing her age of thirty or forty greeted her, and opened her mouth to say: "My eldest son, I can look forward to you." The smell of cheap incense powder made the young man want to gause.
Needless to say, this cream boy is our Zhang Shaoshuai, and the follower is General Cai, who is in the same stream. In line with the mentality of experiencing life and increasing knowledge, Zhang Hanqing does not have prejudices about entering these places, although he has no opportunities and ideas to really invest in his previous life and the first half of this life, but it is nothing to get in touch with the lives of the people at the bottom? The heart is selfless, and the four are empty.
He pretended to be very familiar and pointed to his accomplices: "Introduce the beautiful girl in your courtyard, and by the way, let this master also find a companion." ”
The old bustard was overjoyed: "Sure enough, it's a good business, even the followers have benefited, it seems that it is a fat sheep." At the moment, he was more attentive, and brought the two into a clean room, and when the companions served tea, the old bustard roared and beckoned the girls to come out to meet.
In a few moments, two young girls dressed unusually well-dressed approached Nana. Zhang Hanqing fixed his eyes, wow, they are all beauties! Definitely not lose to heaven and earth. Take another look down and wow, little feet!
It's not Zhang Hanqing's fraternity, but it's really good. Now that the outside world is so chaotic, as President Yuan Da's desire to become emperor is getting heavier and heavier, the political atmosphere in Beijing is not very good, and it is not easy to even do business. Otherwise, the old bustard would not have moved the pillars out directly in peacetime.
Another reason is that Zhang Hanqing is a rich lord at first glance, and the old bustard made up his mind to kill this fat sheep at the first time he saw him.
If Zhang Hanqing and Cai Ye were veterans in this field, they would know that the old bustard's approach was wrong: when the customers first arrived, the turtle slave called the guests to come, and all the prostitutes who were not picking up the customers ran out, crowded and let the guests pick and choose. The meeting there is called "Shifting Tea" and takes place in a lower-grade brothel.
And slightly more upscale brothels, such as the Changsan brothel, have a rule of tea and tea circles, indicating that customers must constantly fight for their status. First-time customers don't just order whoever they want, the kind of prostitute waiting to be ordered is just a rendering in film and television dramas.
And the only way for guests to strive for status is to "play tea around".
At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, there was also a set of rules for visiting kilns. A more upscale brothel is not as cash as modern people think, but it takes a process. The first step in this process is to go to the brothel where she works to drink, smoke, eat snacks, and make small talk. This way of communication is "playing tea around". Raw guests to the small class to play tea around the room should be introduced by regular customers. When he saw that it was a guest, he served tea with a small tea bowl with a round head, which was placed in front of Zhang Hanqing and General Cai.
A guide book explains: "When it comes to the fun of playing tea circles, it is a step further than calling the hall, because the calling of the hall is often easy to be restrained in the places where everyone is in the limelight. After the guests were ushered into the prostitute's room, the curtain was lowered, and the electric lights were turned on, making the elegant furnishings stand out, and also signaling the other guests to avoid.
When strangers came to the brothel that no one recognized, they served tea only in small or old tea bowls; When a favored guest came, an additional bowl was added, a larger bowl taken from the prostitute's own tea set. Policemen, petty officials, or new customers who have had a previous relationship with a prostitute or bustard will also be extra helpful.
Of course, there is usually a two-way choice. If the prostitute is unwilling to associate with the client, the client must find another prostitute, and the prostitute must choose to trade fairly. If the prostitute is also willing, she will signal her aunt to change another exquisite tea bowl, make tea and hold it to the guest herself, commonly known as "adding a tea bowl and climbing a good look". After playing the tea circle, with a good relationship, the prostitute can visit the brothel at any time in the future, and the raw customer will become a regular customer. As for whether the transaction can be successful on the day, the next thing depends on whether the two sides can see each other.
The two girls are quite good-looking, one is tall and thin, and looks gentle and gentle, and some of them are not too tall; The other, medium-sized, plumper, was a little reluctant. Naturally, Xiao Zhang's sixth son took pity on the fragrance and cherished the jade, and first pulled the gentle and towering girl by his side, leaving hard bones for General Cai to gnaw.
Cai Ye was just bored in his heart, and he went out for a walk casually, not as a prostitute, so he pretended not to know about Zhang Hanqing's thief.
The girls in the brothel are well trained, and it is the rule that the first thing to do is to pour tea for the guests. If the guest is a chick, the girls need to take the initiative. While Xiao Zhang Liugongzi enjoyed this kind of etiquette, he found that the girl was just standing motionless next to her, and General Cai had to take the lamp himself.
In contrast, Zhang Hanqing's treatment is much more feminine than that of General Cai of Zhimune, although he is not a master of this way at present, but after all, he used someone's body, and the innate hormones in the body made him quickly adapt to the environment, and began to scream "sister and sister" indiscriminately, which made the gentle woman feel quite warm. The girl not only made the tea by herself, but also asked her to bring her own tea bowl to use, and it was a large bowl.
