Just as Luo Ming was thinking about how to attack Zhang Mu'er, he looked ahead and suddenly shouted in the direction of Cao Yan: "Master, the one in front is the Alum Tower." ”

When Luo Ming used to do business at home, every time he came to Beijing, he didn't come here to spend a lot of time.

"Oh!" Hearing this, Cao Yan looked up at the large number of densely lit buildings in front of him, and he had been thinking about this place called Alum Tower for a long time.

Alum Building, the first of the 72 main stores in Bianliang, Tokyo, is also known as the Alum Building. Some people mistakenly take Bai and Fan as their surnames, and the Water Margin writes Alum Lou as Fan Lou,

It is because later generations have been affected by the Water Margin that this name is wrong.

Originally, it specialized in the distribution of alum, hence the name of alum building, and alum was the main raw material for papermaking at this time, which means that this building was originally a papermaking workshop.

When Cao Yan came out to see it in the evening, he mentioned the name, and Luo Ming told him that it was already a large wine-making workshop and a large restaurant at this time.

Up to 25,000 kilograms of koji are sold here every year. In 1027, the Bailulou Hotel made a profit and allocated 3,000 households in the Jingjiaodian liquor store to pick up and sell wine in the store every day, making it the largest liquor wholesaler in Beijing.

The competition of luxury hotels has made the market competition very fierce, and each has strived to win surprisingly in winemaking, so famous wines have come out one after another, Zhang Nengchen wrote a book of wine names, listing more than 210 kinds of famous wines.

Among them, the Meishou and Hezhi brewed by Alum House are particularly famous. I am afraid that it is equivalent to the fame of today's "Moutai" and "Wuliangye", and the drunken dream made by Cao Yan is now only circulating in some rich and noble homes, and has not yet been circulated in a large area, and it still belongs to the level of the younger brother for the time being.

Tokyo Menghualu described the overhauled alum tower "three stories high, five floors facing each other, flying bridge railings, light and shade communication, bead curtain embroidery, lights and candles shining", at that time, "alum tower lights" is a great scene in Tokyo, which means that the alum tower has three floors high, is formed by the intersection of five buildings, this intersection refers to the five buildings are connected to the aisle, can be on the building to walk from this building to other buildings at will.

In addition to the alum building, there are also first-class stores, such as Rendian, Renhedian, Yuxian Building, Gaoyang Zhengdian, Qingfeng Building, Baxian Building, Pan Building, etc., a total of 72, which shows how developed the catering industry in Tokyo was at that time, and the high level of consumption was also staggering.

And as a poem by a person named Liu Zihui said: "Liang Yuan sings and dances, and wine is like a knife to relieve sorrow." I remember how happy the youth was, and the lights were on the alum tower in the middle of the night. “

From this poem reminiscing about the past in Tokyo, it is not difficult to imagine that the people who "go to the alum tower in the middle of the night" are not just for a late night snack and a meal, but for singing and dancing.

Officials, literati, and ink writers in the Great Chu period were common prostitutes, which were not only allowed by policy, but also considered to be elegant.

However, officials are not allowed to engage in prostitution, otherwise they will still be condemned, of course, this is also on the surface.

Therefore, although Alum Tower is only a restaurant, its prosperity mainly depends not on food, but on the people who accompany the waiters to drink, feast, sing and dance.

At the same time, if the scholars of Da Chu want to publish a collection of poems, it is not as convenient as today, the literati wrote poems, filled in the lyrics, and relied on these geisha to sing and become famous, which is a bit of a mutual benefit for both sides, killing two birds with one stone, why not

And at this time, the third floor was already considered a very tall building.

Many people also like to come to such a high place to eat while watching the night view of Jingshi, which can be regarded as an alternative appreciation.

And the operation of Alum House is both elegant and vulgar, open-minded, and has a strong inclusiveness.

The downstairs hall is called "Door Bed Horse Road", which is a bit like the food stalls of later generations, which is for the common people.

Upstairs set up a private room pavilion, can be used for high-end consumption, there are banquet girls in the corridor at any time to listen to the call, commonly known as "point flower card" magnates and local tyrants go upstairs to sing, dance and feast is called "mountaineering", if you point to the music and dance singers to help the fun, the price is naturally higher, and these are facing the dignitaries.

This makes the flow of people in this place more than everybody.

……

Just when Cao Yan looked around and admired the night scene in front of him.

The sound of Xia Haibo arguing with people came from the front.

"Hey, isn't this Xia Yanzi? Healed from the injuries from the fight some time ago? Out for a stroll again? One of the young men in fancy clothes on the opposite side chuckled disdainfully.

As soon as Xia Haibo saw them, he finally put his mind at ease.

I've been looking for them all night, and I thought I wouldn't meet them today! I didn't expect to meet at the door of this Fan Tower, now it's okay, the revenge I was beaten last time can not only be avenged, but I don't have to publicize it myself.

Today, there are fierce people on my side!

"Chen Gou'er, weren't you injured that day?" Xia Haibo definitely didn't hesitate, and hurriedly went back.

"Huh?" The person who was called Chen Gou'er by Xia Haibo, his real name is Chen Bao'er, and his family is also a marquis, but people who know him, including his relatives and friends at home, like to call him Dog'er, which is related to the fact that his humble name is easy to feed in ancient times, Chen Bao'er saw that Xia Haibo was not false today, and hurriedly looked at a few of them, "Why do you want to practice today?" ”

"Haha, that's what I mean, how dare I?" Xia Haibo laughed.

"Okay, let's see how we beat you all over the ground today!" Chen Bao'er must be true, after all, Xia Haibo is still his subordinate and will be defeated.

……

Da Chu is the reason for the high force value here.

In every city, there are rings, which is convenient for some people to solve small personal conflicts, and if they are caught fighting on the street, they will eat the board.

Many of these rings were built by the government, and were usually built in lively locations in the city.

This can satisfy the individual's thoughts, and the second is that it is lively means that there are more people, and more people means that there are many contradictions, so that if there is a contradiction, everyone can solve it on the spot, and be lazy to find a place elsewhere, so as not to wait to find the anger and disappear.

Of course, every time you go up to the ring, you have to pay a certain venue borrowing fee.

And there are just two not far in front of Fan Tower, on both sides of the Royal Street, one on each side, after all, this is also the most prosperous place in Beijing. Mobile phone \ terminal one second remember 『' for you \ for \ wonderful \ reading

These two places can also be said to be the places with the largest number of martial arts competitions in the whole Dachu ring.

Basically, I didn't stop much from morning to night.

Because, this is the place of rest and entertainment where the power and money of the entire Great Chu are most concentrated.

Some people want to be in the limelight in front of the girls in Fan Lou for the sake of sassy bags, some people want to sell themselves for a good price, and of course there are also fights in Fan Lou because of conflicts with girls.

Secondly, there are some other reasons, such as Xia Haibo and Zhang Gouzi, who belong to the camp contradictions, but these are relatively few.

……

"Say, how do you compare?" Xia Haibo and Chen Baoer stood in front of the two teams and discussed.

"Men and women coming?" Chen Baoer looked at the team behind Xia Haibo and asked.

Xia Haibo looked at him with the expression of seeing a ghost, I'm afraid I don't know how to write dead words, right?

"Why don't you dare?" But Chen Bao'er obviously misunderstood Xia Haibo's expression.

Xia Haibo swallowed his saliva, since you want to die, you are not afraid of burying yourself: "Okay, mixed men and women, or male to male, female to female?" ”

"Hehe, just by you people, there are no restrictions on men and women on our side, you are free." Chen Gou'er looked at Xia Haibo and the others, and looked at the extra Cao Yan and Lin Yiru and others behind them, these were like weak chickens when they saw them, and they could blow them all away with a gust of wind, and said casually.

"Okay, we also have a mix of men and women on our side, lest you lose and say that we are bullying you." Xia Haibo saw that they were going to die, and he didn't stop them.

But when everyone over there heard Xia Haibo's answer, they let out a soft laugh: "Haha! It's up to you? No kidding, haha......"

Xia Haibo didn't argue with them, he knew that they would know the mistake later, and he continued to ask, "What format?" ”

After so many years of competition in the ring, we have also come up with a lot of competition systems, such as heads-up, group fighting, two wins in three games, three wins in five games, as long as you don't lose yourself, you can always play a Jiao system, the dragon word is a word that is avoided.

Zhang Bao'er looked at the number of people on both sides, as if there were more people on his side than on the other side: "You have fewer people, it's up to you to decide." ”

"Then a Jiao." There are a few people on the other side, Xia Haibo can't beat him, he doesn't want to go head-to-head and find abuse.

"Okay, we'll grant his wishes, right?" Zhang Baoer shouted to the group of people behind her.

"Yes, don't be too ruthless today, just break one of their legs." A man behind him shouted excitedly.
