Chapter 273 The Little Lady Selling Oranges

Pingkang Square.

As night fell, the drums on Chang'an Sixth Street hadn't stopped, and the streets were already sparsely populated.

But in front of Pingkang Fang, it was a lively scene, many horses and horses were queuing up to enter the workshop.These people are not all residents of Pingkangfang. In fact, there are very few real residents of Pingkangfang now. , or the temporary rental place for the scholars who came to Beijing.

Of course, Pingkangfang is still the largest commercial area in Chang'an. Apart from many shops, the most famous one here is the night market.

Chang'an's East and West Markets only open in the afternoon and close at dusk.

In the entire Chang'an City, only Pingkang Square is open at night and still brightly lit. All these are the new policies of Qin Lang, the young prime minister.

It was dark, the door of the workshop was closed, but the area of ​​hundreds of mu in the workshop had just become lively.

People who have been busy during the day, especially the officials in the capital, like to come to the workshop to relax, drink tea, taste wine, listen to music, watch dances, and watch wrestling and cockfighting.

Pingkangfang is also the only place where rush buying is allowed.

From small clothes and dolls to large chariots and horses, you can buy everything here. The so-called selling is a kind of gambling behavior.In addition, there is Pumai, which is a tax package system. Shops such as restaurants in the square implement a tax package system. The transshipment department directly sets a tax amount according to the size of the store and the scale of operation, and taxes are collected according to the amount.

After returning to Beijing from Sanyuan, he took a shower at home and changed into a white robe, and Qin Lang also walked out of the house in the dark.

At the door, Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baoqi and other brothers have been waiting for a long time. These are all good friends from the past. Although Qin Lang has been promoted to be the prime minister now, he is not born with them and will often meet with them. Drinking or hunting together.

Ah Huang and Qin Yong also changed into plain clothes to accompany them.

Originally, the imperial court ruled that officials of rank five or above were prohibited from entering the market. Qin Lang raised objections to the emperor, thinking that as long as officials did not put on a guard of honor to clear the market, and did not engage in forced buying and selling, then it should not be prohibited.

After some debate, Li Shimin also canceled the ban.

Fifth-rank officials can enter the market, but guards of honor are not allowed to clear the market.

After Qin Lang was assassinated last time, the emperor specially issued an edict that the prime ministers go out, and the Jinwu guards are responsible for clearing the area, and everyone on the street must avoid them. Moreover, the emperor specially pulled out soldiers from the left and right Qianniu guards, and each prime minister sent a hundred thousand Niu Wei's guard guards the entourage.

In addition to the original defense attendants of the prime ministers, the security of the prime ministers has been greatly increased. Even the other officials of the third rank and above, the emperor will also send additional guards of thousands of cattle to enjoy the corresponding number of guards.

Those who dare to bump into the prime minister's guard of honor and block the prime minister's way, the Qianniu guard can even be killed as a street stick.

"Without Qianniuwei?"

Seeing that Qin Lang actually let Qian Niuwei stay, Cheng Chumo asked in surprise.

"We're going to the night market to drink and go shopping. You asked me to bring a hundred thousand cow guards. What kind of wine are you drinking here? Besides, look at our group, which one can be a hero with one as ten? We are such people, who Who will deliver it?"

Although Qin Lang didn't bring Qianniuwei with him, Qin Yong, Qin Yong, Huang and the old iron gun, Dugu Yanyun, were all good fighters, and Cheng Chumo, the disciples of his relatives, also practiced martial arts at a young age.

Qianniuwei's brigade commander dared not refuse to listen, but in the end he personally led a team to follow the guards.

Although everyone travels in plain clothes, they all have swords hanging from their waists.

These days, people in Tang Dynasty are martial arts.

Scholars had to hang a sword when they went out, and it was standard for officials and soldiers to wear a knife. As long as you didn't wear armor, didn't hold a crossbow, or held a spear or a big knife, no one would care.

A group of people didn't ride horses, they just strolled around the workshop anyway, it was very lively.

All the streets and alleys in the square are equipped with street lamps. When it gets dark, someone will light the lanterns.

"Let's watch the wrestling first. Recently, I heard that a group of female wrestlers came to Yuxianlou. Tonight, the newcomers will perform. You can't miss it." Cheng Chumo was almost drooling.

Qin Lang promoted the pilot project of Pingkangfang, building a business district, building a city that never sleeps, and the merchants below immediately followed up. As long as the government does not prohibit it, the merchants will be extremely keen to find business opportunities and follow up.

Yuxianlou is a restaurant, the restaurant is naturally for drinking, but in order to attract business, so the restaurant is not just for drinking, the businessmen who run it also come up with many interesting things.

For example, Yuxian Building is very big, with three floors inside, and there is a wrestling ring in the middle of the lobby on the first floor, but this businessman is a ghost, he did not invite a group of strong men to perform wrestling, but trained a group of female wrestlers Performance.

Under the watchful eyes of the public, the female wrestlers were only wearing obscene underwear, ninety-nine percent of their bodies were exposed, and then the two women were wrestling and hugging each other on the stage. The scene naturally made the guests drunk.

By the way, you can also place a bet to guess the winner or loser, which is just for fun.

"Where are the wrestlers coming from? Don't be like the last time at the Zouzijiao teahouse. Those wrestling women are stronger than men. They are really not interesting."

"Don't mention that family, just thinking about it now makes me sick." Yuchi Baoqi hurriedly shouted, he himself was dark and ugly, but in the end he thought other wrestling women were also dark.

"It's different this time. I heard it's a woman from Japan. They are all small and exquisite, but they are also bumpy. They must be very interesting."

Qin Lang didn't care, the so-called watching wrestling, in fact, these animals were just watching women fight naked, after all, it was not for sex, just like watching WWE women's wrestling in later generations, the men's fights are routines, exciting.As for women, the excitement of fighting is much less, but it is better because they are all beautiful, King Kong Barbie, infinitely sexy.

So everyone went directly to Yuxian Tower.

The signboard of Yuxian Building is extremely bright. Their family specially built a lantern building as a signboard. At night, the strangely shaped lights are lit up and can be seen from a distance. Their signboard is very distinctive, with a white beard fluttering in the middle The old fairy is holding a wine gourd, and there are two naked female wrestlers on the left and right. Anyone who sees it wants to come in and take a look.

At the door, there are young men in Tsing Yi who are in charge of parking the horses for the guests. They lead the guests' horses to the stables at the back, and they will also carefully help the guests brush and feed the horses. The service is very thoughtful.

By the door, there are a few fruit sellers sitting squatting. These are small itinerant vendors, and they don’t need any capital. In Kangfang, you only need to pay a very small market entry tax.

"Grand officials, oranges, Jiangnan tribute oranges, Jizhou tangerines, big and sweet!"

A girl about ten years old, dressed in floral cloth, put a bamboo basket of tangerines on the ground in front of her, and greeted them warmly as they passed by.

"Oh, it's such a cold day, the girl wears so little, brother will take care of your business." Cheng Chumo walked over immediately.

"Buy it?"

Although the little girl is small, she is very generous. It seems that she has been a peddler in the night market for a while.

She took out a handful of copper coins.

"flutter!"

Cheng Chu silently squatted down.

"How many toss?"

Merchants in Pingkang Square buy by throwing copper coins, which is also an activity to increase their attractiveness. The copper coins thrown are called head coins.

Three tosses are called three stars, four toss is called four stalls, six toss is called Liucheng, and eight toss is called eighty-seven.

If all the throws are heads or all tails, it is called Huncheng, and if there are both heads and tails, it is called back. Generally, Hun wins, and Back loses.

According to the number of coins tossed, merchants will have different discounts. The higher the difficulty, the bigger the discount.

Of course, there are also ways to buy by drawing lots and throwing darts.

The first deposit is free.

Cheng Chumo directly asked for eight yuan, "I want to eat a basket of free oranges today."

However, eight coins were tossed at the same time, and it was obviously difficult to figure it out. Sure enough, Cheng Chumo threw the money to the ground, and the result was three positives and five negatives, which was naturally the back.

Original price.

Old Cheng refused to accept, "Come again."

"Come again, a penny." The little girl picked up the money and said with a smile.

Then Lao Cheng took off the money bag with a belt around his waist, and took out a copper coin. The girl took it with a smile, and handed the cash to Lao Cheng.Old Cheng held it in his hand, and pretended to shake it a few times, and finally sent it to the girl, "Little lady, give me a breath."

"open!"

Lao Cheng tossed money, but this time he had four positives and four negatives, and he still lost.

"Come again."

So Lao Cheng squatted there and made ten blows in a row, spending ten Wen, but failed once.

Even the little girl persuaded him, why don't you spend less money and try it?

Lao Cheng stood up and clapped his hands, "Forget it, don't rush, how much is this basket of oranges, brother bought it at the original price."

The little girl was overjoyed when she heard it, and she could go home earlier if it was sold out.

Tangerines from Jiangnan are not cheap, but for Lao Cheng, drizzle is not even a drizzle.

Although he paid an extra ten cents, Lao Cheng was very satisfied and enjoyed helping others.

There are two oranges for each person, and they are all divided up at once.

"Next time brother will come!"

Lao Cheng returned the basket to the little girl, waved his hand, and was dragged away by Yuchi Baoqi who was waiting impatiently.

The servants at the gate of Yuxian Tower were not bad, none of them drove away the small vendors at the gate, and they were all very enthusiastic about the guests who came.

Seeing the oranges, wine and other belongings in Qin Lang's hands, he didn't stop them either.

Pushing open the curtain, a wave of heat rushed over.

"Hey, it's so lively!"

Cheng Chumo shouted while peeling the oranges.

Although it was just dark, more than half of the people in Yuxian Tower were already seated. On the wrestling field in the middle, there was a young girl brandishing a sword. This was the hot spot for sword dancing.

"Hello, gentlemen!"

Cheng Chumo said boldly and directly, "I booked a private room at Tianzi on the second floor earlier."

Yuxian Tower not only has female wrestlers, good wine, but also prostitutes. The first floor is scattered seats, and there are low-level prostitutes from Beiqu. As long as you pay a little money, they will accompany you to drink, cuddle and touch OK.

Of course, people with status look down on women in Beili. Even if the top female prostitutes in Pingkangfang and Nanqu don't come to these tea houses and restaurants, some restaurants will bring a group of young, beautiful and high-end women. There will be female prostitutes in the middle tune.

"It turned out to be Master Cheng. The box has already been prepared. In addition, Miss Shishi from Tianxian Pavilion has arrived with her sisters. She is waiting in the room now."

After Xiao Er saw the appointment card, her smile went up a step, and her bending down became even lower.

"Miss Shishi has arrived?" Lao Cheng immediately laughed and led the way upstairs.

This guy looks like a dandy.

Everyone is just like each other.

Qin Lang smiled, and went upstairs with him. Come out to play, you have to get along with others.
