The city of Hanjing actually resembles a pyramid structure. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

There are three palace cities in the north, and the imperial city is in the south of the palace city, and the three provinces, six departments, five temples, nine prisons, and the north and south yamen in the imperial city are all gathered here. To the south of the imperial city is the city of Hanjing, also known as the inner city. The imperial city is larger than the palace city, while the inner city is larger than the imperial city.

And to the south of Hanjing City, there is also a Luo City, also known as the Outer City. This outer city does not enclose the entire Hanjing Inner Package, but only covers the southern half, and the east and west sides cover half of each side.

Therefore, the upper part of the inner city, also known as the Upper East Side and the Upper West City, these two areas are rich in the east and rich in the west, and they are all places where the nobles and magnates gathered.

And in the lower part of the inner city, there is the commercial street market area.

As for the outer city, it is more of a residential area for ordinary people and a workshop area, as well as some warehouses and wholesale markets.

Today's Hanjing City has no longer the pattern of Chang'an City, the closure and isolation of Fang City has been canceled, and the streets have become the most lively places, especially the streets, which have become commercial centers. However, when you go to the outer city, it will inevitably be more remote and deserted.

It is about to enter Layue, the rebellion has ended, and nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses from all over the country are stationed on the edge of Hanjing. The imperial court issued a decree prohibiting these soldiers from entering the inner city. However, they are allowed to go shopping and play outside the city when they are on vacation.

Many soldiers of the Qinwang Army came to Hanjing for the first time, and they were amazed when they looked at the majestic Hanjing City. They came to the city in groups of threes and twos, asking for leave, strolling around the lively streets, and some also used their bounty money to buy some of the various goods in the city, or taste the delicacies of the capital.

One of the most popular is naturally the tavern.

The taverns in the outer city are no better than the restaurants and restaurants in the inner city, and those restaurants and restaurants are luxuriously decorated, the service is considerate, the dishes are exquisite, and the wine is even better, but the price is also amazingly expensive.

In the outer city, there are very few such big restaurants, and here are mainly taverns and taverns.

Especially concentrated in the grain wharf, there are taverns, small restaurants, and small hotels on the street. The grain wharf is located at the East Second Gate of the outer city, where there is a water gate, and boats can go straight up the Tang River on the Han River and then reach the water gate of Hanjing City, and enter the canal in the capital city.

Inside the second gate of the east of the outer city, there is a wharf, which supplies the grain of Hanjing, which is basically transported by ship, where the grain is unloaded, and then sent to the nearby granary.

Because of this wharf and the nearby granary, a large number of laborers are also concentrated here. They specialize in loading and unloading ships and transporting grain to warehouses.

The laborers are all young and strong men, and they earn hard work. Working here, the daily income is still more than enough for the family, but it is not wealthy.

After a busy day, many people like to go to the nearby pub for a drink.

The tavern is all about the laborers, the crew, and the shopkeepers and guys in the neighborhood, and it's affordable.

Those who come to drink in the tavern basically drink some bashang, or Bailu Lao Baigan, or drink some Li Ji Erguotou.

When he came in, he shouted how much wine he had to drink, and the shopkeeper scooped it out of the jar with a long wooden spoon. These wooden spoons are regulated, and one spoon is exactly one or two. Guests can check whether the spoon is full.

The wine is poured into the bowl, the money is paid and the person leaves.

Sometimes there are people who just don't have money, but as long as they come often, they can be directly recorded in the account and paid back together next time.

"Shopkeeper, come with half a catty of winter wine."

Li Chao walked into this tavern and found that there were a lot of people inside. Three small restaurants, one bright and two dark. A large counter, with many wine jars and wine barrels behind it, and many tables in the room, and no private rooms or anything, all of them are tables, and there are several people seated at one table.

I don't know anyone who sits at the table, and there is nothing quiet about it, everyone talks loudly, and someone slaps the table from time to time.

Li Chao said that he was beating half a catty of winter wine, and someone immediately looked at it, and some people said loudly, "It must be another Qinwang army." ”

Although Hanjing is said to be in the center of the world, and it is okay to say that this place is also north, it is customary to regard this place as the north, especially since many people from Hanjing have moved from Chang'an and other northern.

They are more accustomed to drinking liquor, especially these hard work, liquor is more energetic to drink, and one or two can be satisfied. It's not like rice wine, I didn't feel it at first, but the momentum behind it was great.

As for the people who call rice wine winter wine, almost all of them are Jiangnan people.

The shopkeeper picked up a small gourd and gave Li Chao half a catty of winter wine. He put a funnel on the gourd, and also put a strainer on it, and then beat eight spoons with a spoon or two.

When he took off the filter, Li Chao saw that there were some scum and even some wine mosquitoes on it. This situation shows that this rice wine is very cheap.

But Li Chao doesn't dislike it, in fact, when he drinks, sometimes he drinks in an atmosphere.

"Does this guest officer want rice wine too?"

Cheng Qian, who was behind Li Chao, shook his head, "Bring me half a catty of beer." ”

"Half a pound of ale, good le."

Someone over there shouted, "Hey, these are still a few rich Qin Wangjun brothers." ”

Although the beer and rice wine in this tavern are of average quality, they are still more expensive than the old white gan, erguotou, and shochu that the laborers often drink. In particular, beer is like drinking water, but it is not cheap, and most people are reluctant to drink it.

Li Chao and his entourage of four people asked for half a catty of rice wine and beer each, so they took the wine and found an empty table to sit down.

A woman of about thirty or so walked over and said, "Do you want any snacks for the guests?" ”

Cheng Qian was a little surprised, "Is there still a woman doing business in the tavern?" ”

Li Chao said with a smile, "Who said that women are inferior to men, women can also support their families by themselves." Didn't there be a lot of orchids in Chang'an in the past to sell wine? ”

The woman was dressed in a very simple cloth robe, but she was very generous, and she told Li Chao that her husband worked on the docks, and that there were many children in the family, and there were parents to support, and life was very hard, so she worked in this tavern, and the eldest children in the family also worked in the workshop, and now there were five people in the family who made money, and their lives were much better.

In the words, she didn't care too much about coming out and showing up. Maybe that's the way it is now, everyone is thinking about earning money and living a better life, young girls are also working in the workshops early, and women are used to coming out to set up stalls or doing things in shops.

"What's the appetizer?" Li Chao was in a good mood after listening to the woman's words, and this kind of openness is a rare progress.

"There are a lot of appetizers in our tavern, such as pork skin jelly, boiled broad beans, fried beans, pickled radish skins, salted duck eggs, dried tofu, etc. There are also hard dishes, such as fried small fish, donkey meat in sauce, pig's head, pig's ears, braised chicken feet, etc., as well as melon seeds, hazelnuts, etc., which are quite cheap. ”

The laborers on the docks near here, tired for a day, buy a tael or two of wine, make a joke, talk about it, and then go home satisfied.

Li Chao ordered a few things.

"Two more pounds of pancakes, a few green onions, and a bowl of sauce."

Before the appetizers came up, Li Chao and Cheng Qian, as well as Ke Qing and one of Cheng Qian's guards, drank together. The tavern was noisy, but it also smelled good.

But in the blink of an eye, the table suddenly opened in the corner of the other side, and a group of people began to fight.

A laborer shouted, "Fuck these red guys dare to bully our family, fuck it, let's go together!" ”

Then hulala, a group of big men rushed over excitedly to join the battle group.

"It seems that a soldier just slapped the woman who just ordered us on the buttocks, and the crowd was angry." Ke Qing is sharp-eyed.

Because most of the soldiers of King Qin's army wore the red uniforms of the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, they were called red guys by the people in the tavern. Cheng Qian's guards wanted to scold these guys for being bold, but they saw that they had been surrounded by a group of laborers.

"There are a few red guys here, let's beat them together!"
