Chapter 948: Midstream of the City
Because of the businessman's intuition and the "inside information", Cai Boyu purchased a large number of properties in Beijing before Zhao Zhen moved the capital, especially in the east of Beijing, which is almost a gathering place for high-ranking officials and dignitaries.
Cai Boli is very cunning, before moving the capital, he has begun to set up Cai Ji's industry in Dongcheng, restaurants, tea shops, shops, all of them, eating, drinking and having fun, so the land price in Dongcheng soared rapidly, so that the families of the powerful and rich later all tried to place their houses in Dongcheng.
As a result, Dongcheng became a rich and noble place in Beijing, from the Xianggong Shangshu to the wealthy merchants, even the clans who were placed in Nancheng wanted to get a mansion in Dongcheng.
The rising land prices here have also driven the housing prices of the entire Beijing city, and the people in the city can feel at ease as long as they have a house in Beijing. If you have an urgent need at home, even if you sell your house and move outside the city, you can make a lot of money.
But basically no one does this, they all regard real estate as more important than life, even if the home is broken, they will never sell the property, so the housing prices in Beijing are extremely high, and at the same time, the household registration in Beijing has become more and more difficult to obtain.
The relative Beiping Mansion is much better, at least the land boundary of Beiping Mansion is very large, and some places are to build houses, but there are very few fields, most of them are already the land of the owner, where to find a piece of it?
Farmers can't get along in Beijing, but as long as there is land in Beiping Mansion, the price of goods in Beijing is much higher than in other places, but this is not a problem, because the wages in Beijing are also high, even a restaurant guy can get a monthly income of ten yuan, which is unthinkable in other places.
Some people say that the reason why Beijing is like this is Cai Boyu's fault, the price of goods is very good, people need to work hard, once they lose their work, even making a living is a problem, but Cai Boyu said: "The world should work hard, if you live every day, there is no proper and stable work, then what is the point of living?" ”
As the pressure of people's lives has become greater, the other extreme has emerged, that is, the increase of entertainment activities, there are not only football arenas in Beijing, but also the large elephant sheds are countless, and there are no less than six or seven in the east city alone, and there are even more small venues.
It is said that the most popular red officials can have tens of thousands of heads in one day, and the competition between the Oiran is even more beautiful.
If there are two brothels fighting for beauty, and even need to be sent by the Beiping Prefecture to maintain order with the Marquis of Beijing, this is far beyond the grand occasion of Tokyo City. And once she becomes an Oiran, it is the talk of the people of Tokyo after tea and dinner, and everyone can say one, two, or three, just like a female official.
Of course, Zhao Zhen has no interest in sneaking away to the brothel to watch, he has passed the age of his free and easy personality, and he has already entered the age of standing and has exhausted half of his energy every day.
Besides, if you bump into the courtiers in the court, wouldn't it be embarrassing?
When Zhao Zhen was passing by Sweetwater Alley, Sancai made those solicitors retreat with a cold look, and secretly said that the eyes of this killer were terrifying.
Zhao Zhen went out of the palace alone, and the guards could also breathe a sigh of relief, if the imperial heir was added in the past, it would be busy.
Although it is already past noon, the roadside snack vendors are still soliciting customers, saying that their soup cakes taste good, or that their hot drinks can ward off the cold, and the liveliness is not inferior to that of Beijing City, which has just woken up in the morning.
It should be almost the end of the year, there are more colorful building floats and the like, the young woman standing on it played the goods with the ribbon written on the business, and spilled the candy and cakes in small paper bags by the way, attracting passers-by to watch, it is said that this is also the first method that Cai Ji came up with, Zhao Zhen was ready to approach but was taken by Shangsancai first, and quickly stuffed it into his mouth and tasted it: "Official, don't say, these candies taste very good!" ”
Zhao Zhen rolled his eyes: "Nonsense, if it's unpalatable, who will go to the merchant to buy it?" After speaking, he stuffed one into his mouth and chewed it carefully, this is halva, the entrance is crispy, sweet but not greasy, the end is a good snack, I don't know why almost all Song people love sweets.
There was no meal at noon, Zhao Zhen was hungry after eating a piece of sugar, and there happened to be a roadside stall selling wontons, which even used pork bones to make soup, and the fragrant smell could be smelled all over the street, and he pointed to the stall and said: "I went there to eat, I smell this is very good!" ”
Sancai looked at the stall where he bought wontons, and the tables and chairs were wiped quickly, but there were a little more people, and there were no free tables, so he hesitated a little and said, "Official, this place is full, let's eat elsewhere, right?" ”
After Sancai finished speaking, Zhao Zhen had already left, so many vacant seats, how could it be said that there was no place? The roadside stall was his favorite back then, as long as he was comfortable in life, what was the use of caring about so many rules? Zhao Zhen didn't believe that someone would assassinate him at this time, and he didn't believe that there were guards around him who couldn't solve the "trouble".
There is a layer of oil flowers floating on the fragrant, clear big bone broth, and the thin wontons like clouds float on it, plus a little green onion and a little pepper on it, Zhao Zhen's appetite is opened, and he always feels that these roadside stalls are a good medicine for anorexia.
Although there is no chili, but adding a little pickle is excellent, pickles with a unique fermented aroma, with a small wonton with fresh meat, a mouthful of fragrant, what surprised Zhao Zhen even more is that this small wonton filling also has chopped shrimp skin.
It's not surprising that Shopee is a seaside delicacy in the city of Tokyo, but it's a small wonton dish that is not just a palatial restaurant, but a street snack.
A bowl of wontons is only fifteen or thirty, so the price is not expensive in Beijing, the most important thing is that this wonton stall is sold by one, Zhao Zhen ate a big bowl, and added ten more to only twenty wen.
"Looking at a big bowl of wontons, you can eat three or five in one bite, the official family is not real!"
Zhao Zhen glanced at Sancai, and after the goods came back after paying for the goods, he said this, knocking on his head, Zhao Zhen smiled: "If your words of killing talent are heard by the shopkeeper of the wonton stall, I am afraid that you will be in a hurry to use your fists and feet." ”
In Sancai's eyes, the vendor just now must be a profiteer, and the wonton thing does not exceed ten yuan in Tokyo, but in Beijing City, it has risen to twenty yuan, and the skin is thin and the filling is less, what is it that is not a profiteer?
"Sancai's words are wrong, the wonton soup is made of the best pork bones, and the boiling time alone has a full night's effort, and each of his small wontons is fresh meat, and there is also a delicious shrimp skin added to it, fifteen and thirty, and one is only half a penny, which is also expensive? The price of goods in our Beijing city is so high that it is scary! ”
Cai Boyu walked to Sancai's side and shook his head and calculated the economic accounts, which made Sancai stunned, it turned out that there were so many Taos in this small bowl of wontons......
