Chapter 387: The Culprit of Price Gouging
Seeing that these guest officers from Beijing were still circling around the gramophone with a curious expression, the old bustard smiled and said: "A few sons, although the gramophone of this rich emperor is good, how can it compare to the girls' small mouths singing a capella?" โ
"Yes, yes, yes, the girls' little mouths are good, the little mouths are good!"
Tong Zi was the first to react, and said continuously, "But I don't know what kind of girl the old mother has here, we are not peddlers and pawns, those vulgar fans can't look down on them!" โ
The old bustard smiled: "Of course it won't be a vulgar fan, they are all first-class and knowledgeable 'school books' and 'gentlemen', whether it is singing songs or chanting poems, they are all first-class!" โ
Tong Zi leaned over and said, "I wonder if there are any Oriental women?" Ye listened to the people who went to Phi Island in Beijing, and the female waiter is a must, and he was even born in Beijing before, and he said that he was in the East, but he never had the opportunity to try. โ
"Japanese woman?"
The old bustard pursed his lips and said, "Since there are a few Japanese girls, the tea money is cheaper, does the son really want to pick those Japanese girls?" โ
The so-called tea money is the elegant name for prostitution.
The price at which the Ming Dynasty recruited Han Chinese women was twice as high as that of Wadi recruiting and women.
Although the original intention of the Ming Dynasty was to attract more Han women to the Americas and further improve the demographic structure of the Ming Dynasty, it was objectively ......
Daming became the first black hand to coax the price of Shanghai Beach, and roughly demarcated the value range of the Han kiln sister and the Japanese kiln sister.
Of course, this is only a rough range, if the two prostitutes are not much different in all aspects of talent, appearance, temperament, and work, the former is much more expensive than the latter.
Therefore, when the bustard heard that he was going to invite a woman to pick up guests, his enthusiasm naturally faded.
When Jin Qingyi heard that he was cheap, his eyes immediately lit up, and he said: "Go quickly, we are from Beijing, we have never seen any girl from the north and south classes, and today we are here to taste the Oriental flavor!" โ
"Okay, then a few guest officers later, the slave family will invite the girl to come out to meet the guests, if you are satisfied, you can pay for tea and talk to them in detail."
The old bustard shook his head and turned away.
After a while, he walked out with a few women wearing kimonos with pink and white faces.
"ใใใSpring breeze ใซsigh ใใใใใใ~ โฌโญ

It's also a song called "Night Fragrance", but at this time it has become Japanese.
Obviously, these women are not the women of the Daming Island Protectorate, but the wives and daughters of the nobles who fled.
Now a considerable number of them are in Shanghai to use their bodies to raise military funds for Muren's recovery.
Originally, in history, this was also their fate.
After the Meiji Restoration, the first pot of gold for Japan to become an industrial power was to go to Nanyang, Shanghai and other places with his daughters to sell prostitution, and accumulate little by little with his body.
Now it's just a few years ahead of schedule.
And the money obtained is not used to strengthen the country, but to restore the country.
As for the women who have joined the Ming nationality or have the nationality of the Wajima Protectorate, they are far away from such a fate.
The Imperial Protectorate of Wajima is now carrying out a movement to change customs and customs by "speaking the Ming language and being a Ming person".
Although it is not like the "Manchu Revival" in Beijing, everyone can only use sign language, but it is definitely not possible to sing the Japanese version of "Night Fragrance".
"Not bad, not bad, this is a good song!"
Tong Zi's eyes lit up, and he turned his head and said, "Brother Jin, the foolish brother wants this!" โ
"Dark clouds cover snow, she is indeed a beauty, Brother Tong will pick it!"
Jin Qingzhi gave a thumbs up, then turned his head to the old bustard and asked, "These few and the female appearance are acceptable, we have all the covers!" โ
As he spoke, Jin Qingzhi heroically auctioned out three large silver ingots.
The silver ingots that Jin Qingzhi took out were the standard weight of the imperial court's flat treasury silver, but it was not a big ingot of fifty taels.
This time, the boss specially explained that he wanted to travel in a low-key manner, and he could not carry a slave, and one of the big ingots Jinqing could not take it.
All he took out was three small ingots of 10 taels, a total of 30 taels, although it was not much, but it was enough to think about it.
This Oriental girl can't be gold-rimmed.
After all, 30 taels of silver is equivalent to the renminbi of later generations, which is also more than 11,000 yuan, and 2,000 yuan is also a good price.
However......
The old bustard took the silver with a smile, covered his mouth and chuckled: "It is worthy of being the master of Baijing, and the reward alone is so generous!" โ
"Bounty? What bounty? Jin Qing was stunned.
"Look at your politeness, master, the slave family will talk to you about the tea money in the boudoir"
The old bustard scratched his chest coquettishly, and said with a smile: "There are five girls in total, and the tea money is four hundred taels of silver...... I have to pay four hundred and eighty taels! โ
๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ
๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ
Four hundred taels of silver?
Jin Qingzhi jumped up, he couldn't believe his ears, "You shouldn't be mistaken, we are here to take a female ticket, not to take a concubine!" Four hundred taels is enough for me to take two concubines! โ
Jin Qingzhi is telling the truth, now in the territory of Beizhili, four hundred taels, you can indeed ask for two concubines with good looks, if you don't pick a posture, it is not a big problem to take five.
400 taels, this is equivalent to a huge sum of 150,000 in later generations!
There are many homeless people in Hebei, and there are many people who sell their children and daughters, and they are said to be 5, but they may still be conservative, and they can get a lot of yellow flower girls to eat well!
To tell the truth, 400 taels of silver, Jin Qingzhi did bring so many silver tickets on this trip, but if he used this money to get a female ticket, it was not for himself, but for a treat......
This is so bad!
This money, the lord can't get a female ticket out of Mars in Hanjiatan!
However......
"Poof...... This person is so funny, he wants to take a concubine for more than 400 taels of silver, or two rooms......"
It was not the bustard who spoke, nor the Japanese woman who sang the song, but the little maid serving tea.
said that she was a maid, but in fact, she was also a seller.
It's not a boudoir made up by a scholar, how can there be any show in the wind and moon field that doesn't sell his body.
Even if it is a Qing people, it is just a high-end route that was produced because of the increasing frequency of sores in Guangzhou since the late Ming Dynasty, and the nobles had concerns about getting off the birds.
And the so-called little maids in the Qinglou are just prostitutes who are thin and unpopular with guests.
Even if it is a temporary red card, once it is old and decrepit, the benefactor is not there, and the status will immediately decline.
The eldest marrying a businesswoman is already the best destination.
If no one combs it and doesn't save enough money for himself, the former red card will be reduced to an old mother who plays miscellaneous clothes in the green building.
