Chapter 61 Commerce

It's a pity that no matter how beautiful the shopkeeper sings, for Hong Tao and Carl, he plays the piano to the cow, one of them can't understand the southern dialect, and the other can't even understand Chinese, so in the end they can only ask Xiaoer to help order a breakfast to eat. Xiao Er ordered roasted wheat and noodles for Hong Tao and Carl, but these two things were called differently in the Song Dynasty. The roasted wheat is called a pocket, and the noodles are called soup cakes, and they all taste good, but Hong Tao didn't figure out what the sour thing in the roasted wheat was, so let's call it sauerkraut for the time being.

"Dude, you stepped on my foot, didn't you stumble?" After eating and drinking, Hong Tao was looking out the window and wondering where to go next, when a sudden pain came from his feet. Turning his head, he saw that three men with their hair wrapped in silk cloth on top of their heads, wearing slanted robes, and a very thin gauze coat over them, were turning their backs to them and saying goodbye to each other, and one of them had his heel just stepping on his own foot, and he was wearing shoes, and he was not wearing shoes, so could he not be in pain.

This kind of dress is similar to Luo Youde, the scarf on the head is called the Dongpo scarf, which is the favorite of the literati in the Song Dynasty, the slanted robe on the body is called the skirt, and the unbuttoned robe on the outside is called the cardigan, a standard scholar. If this is the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty, Hong Tao will endure it, step on one foot and step on one foot, but this is the Song Dynasty! Although the Tan family is a pariah, they don't even have a household registration, but the class oppression in this era is not very powerful, the four people are equal, why are you stepping on me for nothing? Even if I don't apologize, I'm not guilty of shouting two sentences.

"Disappointing the ......" Hong Tao's voice shocked most of the people who were eating in the hall, and the person who stepped on his foot jumped up on the spot.

"Hey! Sun thief! You step on it, and you jump up and stomp on it, this is a heart, right? No, don't go, apologize to me! "Actually, the kick in front of him didn't hurt too much, Hong Tao just had nothing to do, and no one cared about himself and Carl's dress, he wanted to talk to Song Ren a few words, even if it was a quarrel. But the back kick was really painful, so painful that Hong Tao threw out all the tooth incense chips in his hand, and hit the literati who stepped on his foot in the face, and there was Hong Tao's saliva on it, and it was stuck on his face with a snap.

"You...... You ...... you" The literati was grabbed by Hong Tao's neck and collar, almost strangled to death, grabbed Hong Tao's wrists with both hands and struggled like playing a swing, but he couldn't break free.

"Little brother...... Little brother...... Hugh wants to do it, they are scholars......" At this time, the shopkeeper ran over, inserted himself between the two, and pleaded with Hong Tao while glaring at Hong Tao. The meaning is very clear, these scholars can't be messed with, hurry up and let go.

"His uncle, it's amazing to know how to read and read, I'm still a college graduate,!" Hong Tao looked at the shopkeeper's appearance, knew that it was for his own good, scolded and let go of his hand, and walked out of the restaurant with Carl one after the other. The literati in the back also relieved themselves at this time, and the nonsense began to increase again, but fortunately, Hong Tao didn't understand what they said, so he didn't hear it.

"My lord, we should go and buy a pair of shoes, so that if we are barefoot, we will definitely not get the respect of others." Carl only knew that Hong Tao had a conflict with others just now, and he didn't know why, seeing that Hong Tao was angry, he must not have taken advantage of it, so he began to give Hong Tao ideas.

"That's right, let's go over there and see if there are any shoes for sale." Hong Tao is not really angry, he is mainly idle and always wants to cause trouble, but he doesn't dare to be too presumptuous, so he is dissatisfied with himself.

Zhenzhou City is very small, there is only one main street from the wharf to the city gate, which is not more than half a mile long, but today it is very, very lively, almost full of people, and it is a bit of the feeling of Wangfujing in the 90s. This is not like this every day, only holidays, there are many festivals of the Song people, and I heard that most of them are paid holidays. For example, the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is a three-day rest, and usually, it is a day off every ten days, which is called a mid-day break, and a day off in a ten-day holiday, and the concept of weeks and worship did not exist in the Song Dynasty.

The Song people are very persistent in taking a vacation, this vacation is a real vacation, and no one is allowed to work. If you say you're going to work overtime, your boss will scold you, and they think that men who don't take care of their families on their days off are very inhuman, so don't be proud of working overtime in the Song Dynasty, annoying the emperor, maybe they will demote you to Hainan Island. What do you do on vacation, is to eat, drink and have fun, or the emperor takes the lead in playing, he can't run around, so he tosses hard in the capital, in order to set an example, and calls on the people of the whole country to take him as an example, and everyone tosses hard.

Hong Tao very much agrees with the approach of the emperors and ministers of the Song Dynasty, it seems that the emperors and ministers of this country are not very reliable, in fact, this is called stimulating domestic demand. Only by providing more leisure time for the people will more services and entertainment industries be derived from the market, so domestic trading will increase. As soon as there are more buying and selling, the country's tax revenue will increase, and domestic demand will be boosted, and domestic commerce will prosper, and domestic commerce will naturally attract foreigners to come and trade, and import and export trade will also be boosted. This is a very important economic tool, not only not unreliable, but also very reliable.

So what do the Song people play? If he hadn't come to the Song Dynasty, Hong Tao would never have imagined that the Song people would live so comfortably and have a high sense of happiness. Their entertainment industry is really developed, and the three dynasties of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties cannot be compared with the Song Dynasty in this regard, the difference is too far. Even if it is put in China in later generations, these entertainment facilities are not comparable to the general second-tier cities, too much, too complete, and too professional, no wonder they can give birth to the Song Dynasty's Guijie.

This street in Zhenzhou City is roughly divided into two parts, starting from Zhenhai Building, it should be called Commercial Street. All the shops on both sides are open, and there are two rows of stalls, from eating and drinking to wearing and selling. Restaurants and restaurants in the Song Dynasty have a particularly unbelievable habit, they don't care that there are small vendors blocking their doors to set up stalls, as long as they don't block the door, it does not affect the entry and exit of guests, the more stalls at the door, the happier the shopkeeper, which store has more stalls at the door, it means that the business in that store is good. These small vendors can also take the snacks they sell to the store to sell, as long as they don't stick to it, the shopkeeper will not interfere and sell it casually.

So, the restaurants and restaurants of the Song Dynasty not only did not restrict diners from bringing their own drinks, but also encouraged guests to order takeout. This kind of symbiotic relationship Hong Tao has never understood, can it be said that these food stalls can help restaurants attract customers? No, it's not a consumer group at all, it can only be said that the diners of the Song Dynasty had a better appetite and wanted to try the big dishes and snacks.
