Volume 1: Heroes Gather Chapter 231: Ouchi Master (3)
Sister-in-law Hong listened to Zheng Shuang's question, put a mallet in her hand and turned it around, and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of little brother's jokes, the women have been in Tokyo for so many years, and they have to kill pigs and sheep every morning; If you kill pigs and sheep, you have to buy them everywhere, and it is commonplace to go through the streets and alleys; That's why I know the situation in the capital well! β
Zheng Shuang laughed and said: "It's really 36 lines, and the line is the champion; Sister Leng killed pigs and sheep and became a geographical ghost! β
Sister-in-law Hong smiled and said: "When the old lady of the people's wife was in the Tang Dynasty, the residents lived in a neatly planned workshop; Commercial activities were confined to the eastern and western cities, and the Great Song Dynasty no longer had a strict distinction between fang and city; In 965, Song Taizu ordered the night market before the three drums of Kaifeng Mansion to be banned; Time restrictions have also been relaxed for commercial trade activities! β
Zhang Huan listened to what Sister-in-law Hong said, and couldn't help but say: "It turns out that Sister Leng is so familiar with Bianliang City, but Zhang Huan is even more powerful to you!" β
Zhang Huan said and danced the tiger head chisel golden gun in his hand and said: "Most of the shops in the same industry in Tokyo are concentrated in the vicinity, such as the south of Panlou Street, which is mostly a real pearl and silk incense medicine shop; Jieshen Lane is a place for gold and silver silk trading, and the houses are majestic and have a wide faΓ§ade. Pan Lou Hotel buys and sells clothes, calligraphy and paintings. To the east, there is a bamboo pole market on the cross street, and there are many medical and official pharmacies in the north of Mahang Street; The east and west lanes are large and small goods stores and handicraft workshops; The cross street is lit up every five watches and disperses at dawn, which is called a ghost market. Mahang Street north to Xinfengqiumen Street on both sides of the households, shop mats, and Zhuban direct military camps are opposite. In the evening, there is a night market to the third watch, and it will open again on the fifth watch. Where to go, know endlessly! β
Zheng Shuang listened to it, and couldn't help asking: "Then where is the Yishu Garden of the Sour Jujube Gate that we are going to now!" β
"Due north!" Chun Yu Wanyun said happily: "We are now in the Vermilion Bird Gate, and it will take a while to get to the Suzao Gate!" β
Sister-in-law Hong picked up Chun Yu Wanyun's words and said: "There are so many outer gates in Tokyo that I can't remember them all, but the folk women still wrote them down with a lot of effort; Now tell the little brother to listen: Chenhui Gate, Donghua Gate, Right Ye Gate, Xuande Gate, Left Ye Gate, Xihua Gate, Tianbo Gate, Huitong Gate, Xuanyou Gate, Left Jiasu Gate, Right Jiasu Gate, Left Yintai Gate, Right Yintai Gate, Left Changqing Gate, Right Changqing Gate! β
"Sister Leng has a good memory, you have memorized so many doors, you can admire it!" Zheng Shuang smiled and shook his fists with both hands.
Sister-in-law Hong was embarrassed to get up, Zhang Huan smiled and said: "Sister Leng said the door, the villain reads the palace!" β
After a pause, he swallowed his throat and said: "The palaces in the capital are: Baozhen Palace, Zichen Palace, Wende Palace, Vertical Arch Palace, Huangyi Palace, Jiying Palace, Ninghui Palace, Daqing Palace, East Palace, Xuande Building, as well as the institutions of officials who are diligent in government: Banzhong, Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, Privy Council, Secretary Province, Mingtang, Taishi Bureau, Jixian Yuan, Secret Pavilion, Longtu Pavilion, Tianzhang Pavilion, Baowen Pavilion, Xianmo Pavilion, Huiyou Pavilion, Fuwen Pavilion, Huanzhang Pavilion, Huawen Pavilion, Baomo Pavilion, Baozhang Pavilion, Xianwen Pavilion! β
"Awesome!" Zheng Shuang was full of praise and said: "Brother Zhang is a geographical ghost like Sister Leng, but what you two are talking about seems to be the palace and palace gate of the inner city, so where is the gate of the outer city?" β
"The outer city gates include Weizhou Gate, Fengqiu Gate, Chenqiao Gate, Xincao Gate, New Song Gate, and Sujube Gate, which is where we are going!" Sister-in-law Hong picked up Zheng Shuang's eloquence and said: "There are also Chenzhou Gate, Nanxun Gate, Dailou Gate, Xinzheng Gate, Wansheng Gate, and Guzi Gate." Water Gate has East Water Gate, West Water Gate, Northwest Water Gate, Northeast Water Gate, and Chenzhou Water Gate! β
"Well spoken!" Zheng Shuang put the Qilin Fang Tianhalberd on the saddle, took out the Chengying Sword from his waist and danced it in his hand, and said happily: "Xiao Ke has long heard that Bianliang Tokyo Wuhua Tianbao is prosperous; The grand occasion has passed the Tang Dynasty, and now it seems that this is not fiction! β
"Of course, Brother Zheng, don't take a little bit for nothing! The slave family will tell you about the wine shop and waiting for recruitment in Bianjing? Sister-in-law Hong glanced at Zheng Shuang, and without waiting for him to speak, she talked about the hotel and the process of entertaining guests in the hotel.
Whether it is a government-run hotel or a private restaurant in Tokyo City, as long as it is high-end, there are singers to welcome guests.
Tokyo's big restaurant enters its door, the main corridor is about more than 100 steps, there are small pavilions in the two corridors of the north and south patios, the evening lights and candles are bright, the top and bottom are photographed, hundreds of women with heavy makeup gather on the main corridor on the surface, in order to wait for the wine guests to call, look at it like a fairy.
As long as the guests pay money, they can invite a beautiful girl to accompany the wine; At the door of some big hotels, there are also women in red and green gowns to welcome guests, and the figure of the singer accompanying the wine can be vaguely seen upstairs; The singer not only accompanies the wine, but also plays and sings to please the guests; As soon as the guests are happy, they will have a lot of coins in their hands.
Zheng Shuang was already shocked when he heard Sister-in-law Hong say this: Isn't this the same as the singing and dancing restaurants in later generations? Zheng Shuang was invited by friends to go to the singing and dancing restaurant several times in his later life, and he was shocked as soon as he came into contact; It turns out that the singing and dancing restaurants of later generations already existed in the Song Dynasty a thousand years ago.
After thinking about it in my heart, I couldn't help but ask: "Sister Leng, you said that other people's restaurants have beautiful girls to accompany you, so is there any biangbiang restaurant in you?" β
Sister-in-law Hong was stunned and couldn't help laughing; He turned the whirlwind mallet in his hand and said, "It's not just the little brother who asks this, there are already a lot of people who ask this!" β
Ding Ding cleared his throat and said: "The slave family is a noodle restaurant and does not need to accompany the wine girl, and the merchants who come to the noodle restaurant to consume are of relatively low grade; Most of them come for the pasta like biangbiang noodles, and the slave family can entertain them themselves! β
Zheng Shuang said "oh" and said no more, and Sister-in-law Hong continued with the previous words.
The high-end restaurants in Tokyo City use precious silverware to give guests a distinguished treatment.
Most of the people in Bianjing have extravagant customs and a slightly wider measure; Where the hotel does not ask who to stop two people sitting and drinking, they must also use a pair of bowls, two plates, five pieces of fruit and vegetable plates, and three or five bowls of water vegetables, that is, nearly 100 taels of silver, even if one person drinks alone The hairpin also uses a silver bowl; Some people went into the store to buy fifty-two dollars of wine, and they also used two silver cups, and there were also several dishes.
As soon as the guests step into the hotel, they will immediately be greeted by Xiao Er to greet the seat, write the dishes, whatever you want to eat, order whatever you want; Where the wine soup is served, it is arbitrarily called, although the ten guests have their own desires, they may as well be.
The hotel chef must memorize dozens of recipes, and make and serve them without working hard and passing them on like a stream, and no small mistakes are allowed.
If the customer complains about poor service, he will be reprimanded by the store owner; Or be deducted from wages and fired squid.
Zheng Shuang thought to himself: The development of Tokyo's liquor industry just reflects the prosperity of commerce and the freedom of life in this era.
Wine is a non-rigid consumer product made from grain, if the productivity is low and the economy is backward; People would not waste food to make commercial liquor, and naturally there would be no developed liquor industry.
Wine is also a drink that can release passion and create excitement after drinking, and people are very easy to lose their words after drinking; If the state tightens its control over society, it will tend to ban alcohol; Or citizens consciously dare not drink together. This was the case in the early years of the Ming Dynasty: the social atmosphere was lifeless, and there were no liquor shops or homeless people in the villages.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the historian Tan Qian said: "Hearing that the country was strict at the beginning, there was no group drinking at night, there was no night trip in the village, and all the drinks would be spoken carefully, and they would be in exile, that is, Wuyi was full of troops in all directions, to more than 6,000 people, which made people dignified, and the heart palpitations have been said so far." β
Since drinking has become a high-risk thing, it is no wonder that there are no liquor stores in the villages.
The Song Dynasty showed such freedom, even though the Liao army was overwhelmed; The city of Tokyo is still bustling and peaceful.
Zheng Shuang thought about it in his heart, raised his arm and said, "Sister Leng, let's talk about the streets and shops in Tokyo!" β
Chun Yu Wanyun put his hand on the bridle and said: "The east-west streets in Tokyo are: Qishengyuan Street, Tsuro Street, East Cross Street, Xiaoyu Street, Nanmen Street, Jiebei Lane, North and South Lecture Hall Lane, Mahang Street, Yanglou Street, East Ji'er Lane, West Ji'er Lane, Embroidery Lane, Old Caomen Street, Da Cargo Street, Small Goods Street, Taimiao Street, Pig Killing Lane, Wheat Straw Lane, and Record Lane!" β
He cleared his throat and raised his voice: "The streets and alleys in the north-south direction are: Xijiaolou Street, Junyiqiao Street, Baocisi Street, Yu Street, Taxation Street, Gaotou Street, Xiao Tianshui Lane, Jieshen Lane, Third Sweet Water Lane, Da Liao People's Envoy Road, Second Sweet Water Lane, First Sweet Water Lane, Zhao Shiwanzhai Road, East Yulin Lane, Zaojiazi Lane, and Socks Lane!" β
After Chun Yu Wanyun finished talking about the streets and alleys, Sister-in-law Hong went on to say the merchants: "Tokyo restaurants are: Hong Huang biangbiang noodle restaurant, Cao Po Po meatloaf, Yulou buns, Gaoyang Zhengdian, Ren Dian, Zhuangyuan Building, Qingfeng Building, Panlou Hotel, Sun Haoshou Steamed Bun Jia Jia Soup!" East and West Teaching Workshop, Dice Li Family, Wren City, Wan Surname Trading, Bathroom Yard, Che Courtyard Yard, Wenzhou Lacquerware, Incense Medicine Shop, Ghost Market, Zhang Daihua Face Wash, Qingyu Market, Qiu Defense Pharmacy, Sun Diancheng Pharmacy, Children's Pharmacy......"
Before he could say anything, he shouted: "There are assassins!" As soon as the words fell, I saw a money dart strike......
