Chapter Thirty-Seven: A Closer Look at Pingkangfang

(I thought I could test the water today, but there are too many books in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, so I can only go to the back row, if you have a recommendation vote in your hand, please vote for me, there are not too many votes today, I'm afraid there will be no fifty tomorrow....!)

I ate a meal for nearly an hour, and it cost about ten yuan, and the two pots of wine from the Western Regions alone cost three yuan, so this place in Chang'an is a real gold cave.

After the meal was finished, the next place was Yunxiang Pavilion, where compared with the restaurant, it cost more money.

And this Yunxiang Pavilion is located in Chang'an Pingkangfang, it is said that Chang'an has 108 square markets, merchants from all over the world, travelers, Tang envoys, orchids, Kunlun slaves, as well as a variety of shops and goods, people can live and work here in peace and contentment.

All the squares have their own positioning, among which Pingkangfang is the largest entertainment area in Chang'an.

There is no need to deny that Pingkangfang has the largest green building in Chang'an, but the green building is not only a place to solve people's physiological problems, but the green building here is more important to send people to worry and find love.

First of all, Pingkangfang is divided into three songs, the north song is the lower prostitute residence, the middle song and the south song are inhabited by extremely elegant Qinglou women, their poetry, qin, calligraphy and painting are all fine, and there is a separate attic to live, they are not rich women can be seen, they are more by virtue of skills to survive, they are a rare scenery in the square of Pingkangfang.

The women of Ping Hong Fong will be judged according to the criteria of the superior and inferior.

In the Tang Dynasty, the society paid the most attention to the skills of the women in the Qinglou, and those who could sing and dance were the first, the witty speech was secondary, the rhythm was again, and the residence and diet were the last.

In addition to this standard, the other is based on skill, color is secondary, and identity is again.

There are also two ways to serve the women of Pingkang Fong. The first is to welcome guests in the house, which is to wait for guests to come to the door; The second way, call out, this way was very popular at the time, young talents, dignitaries and nobles will go to Pingkangfang early to invite women when they go out to enjoy the spring or the Shangyuan Festival, if they go out to play without a female companion, it will be a very rude and shameful thing.

Mengjiao's "spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day", this flower is not the other flower, it is the beautiful flower of Pingkangfang.

There are three types of girls in the Pingkang room, one is a relatively high status and a type of woman who specializes in receiving literati. Such women are generally well-educated, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and 100% pure talents.

Most of them are gentle, kind, and empathetic, and they are famous, and they also like to communicate with talented people. This kind of woman is like today's artists, if any celebrity is willing to spend a lot of money for her, then she will definitely increase her fame and value, and live a carefree life before she is old and decrepit.

The Qinglou women in Pingkangfang are like entertainers, and their talents are the source of income. They are like a large entertainment company, according to their own conditions and talents, according to their own division of labor, to maintain their lives and realize their own value.

In some banquets full of intellectuals, they hosted most of the entertainment of the banquet and fully interacted with the guests in the banquet. Some girls play musical instruments, some sing songs, some dance, and some write poems and chat with guests. But this division of labor alone is not enough, because the host is indispensable in the party.

And the Qinglou woman who acted as the host at the Datang banquet was better than the talented woman. They are not only knowledgeable and good at singing and dancing, but also want to be a well-spoken girl without being offensive.

They control and host all the programs of the whole banquet, so that all the guests can drink, watch the show, and have fun in an orderly manner. If they encounter some complex problems, such as someone coming to smash the field, they must also deal with it properly as soon as possible, and they cannot let the guests come in and return disappointed.

As a result, they were under a lot of pressure to make sure that the banquet could be carried out in an orderly manner. In addition, Pingkangfang has a special title for the host of these Qinglou women, called "Duzhi".

At that time, when the cocktail party was particularly popular, Zheng Juju, Xue Chuer and Yan Lingbin were all famous hosts. Although these three did not leave their own works like Xue Tao, nor did they have the experience of entering the palace like Du Qiuniang, they are still remembered by history.

And the reason why they are remembered is probably because of their admirable manners and personal charm that cannot be ignored.

The Tang Dynasty is civilized, the literary style is still prostitutes, and people take visiting the Qinglou as a romantic affair, so Pingkangfang is famous, and it takes a lot of effort to enter Pingkangfang Zhongqu and Nanqu.

Rules for entering Pingkangfang: Pingsuri, even if it is not the top brand, even if it is a slightly famous girl, they all have their own rules, and they are not rich and powerful to see casually. The most important thing is that the literary style of the Tang Dynasty is extremely prosperous, and many famous singers in Chang'an have the elegance of exploring flowers with poetry.

a. The rule of Pingkang Fang is "the bridegroom and the gentleman will double the prostitution".

b. Drink wine at the beginning, pay 300 yuan for the banquet, and invite a famous prostitute to come out when you enter the band and play music and drink and food.

c. The prostitutes of Pingkangfang can go to the Baotang Temple in the square on the eighth day of every month to listen to the nuns' lectures and stories, which is also an opportunity for the literati to enjoy spring for free.

d. Pingkangfang is dominated by Han prostitutes. Most of the orchids are concentrated in the western Li Fang such as Xishi, Yiningfang, and Gudefang.

e. The top famous prostitutes in the Tang Dynasty were called "Duzhi", and they were judged according to their ability to do "Xi Jiao" and compose poems.

f. Famous prostitutes must take the initiative to give poems and a poem.

Yan Xiaoxiao is in Nanqu... It is one of the most famous girls in Nanqu, known as the green-waisted Rou Niang Yan Xiaoxiao, and the talented man who wants to see this Yan Xiaoxiao is in the sea.

Li Zhan also followed Cheng Chumo and the others this time to be fortunate enough to walk in without hindrance, if Li Zhan came alone and said his identity, he was a seller of ice in the township, and no matter how much money he had, he would also drive you out.

Meet Yunxiang Pavilion... The first word that came to Li Zhan's mind was luxury... The splendid hall has its own structure everywhere, and there is no dirty atmosphere in it at all, but it is very much like a high-end clubhouse, revealing elegance and generosity everywhere!

As soon as the group entered, they were immediately led to the second floor, Niu Qian was carried by Yu Chi Baolin, and the car was carried by Yu Chi Baoqing, and went up to the second floor and directly entered the box.

Soon... And the maids brought them to eat.

Four plates of pastry, peach slices... Horseshoe cake... Peach Blossom Crisp... Flower cake... This is followed by sweets..."Gyokuro Ball" creamy ice cream dessert and translucent "Flower Ball",

The most powerful is Sushan.

What is Crisp Mountain? Amazingly, the process of making it is called "dripping pastry", which is quite similar to today's method of squeezing cream on cakes and decorating: the pastry is slightly heated until it almost melts, mixed with cane syrup or honey, and then the women hold it in their hands and drizzle it onto a dish or other utensils, making a shape as they drizzle. After the sweet cake is "drizzled" into the shape of the mountains, it is frozen and set, and then it will be firmly frozen and stuck to the plate. Before the banquet is served, some artificially made colored trees and fake flowers will be inserted as decorations.

Li Zhan really knows the luxury of Chang'an....!
