The illiterate life in the Northern Song Dynasty

In the early morning, Uncle Li's palms were sweating, he looked at the Misses Washer who were holding the dishes in the lobby, and asked Wei Shiyi uncertainly, "Brother Shi, is this really a good idea?"

Washe is the brothel of this era, also known as Goulan, and the employees in it are called young ladies.From ancient times to the present, ladies have had a bad reputation, so Li Sanshu was very worried about failure.

But Wei Shiyi can't find a celebrity or model now. Speaking of which, the nature of the work of modern celebrity models is similar to that of young ladies, so it doesn't matter.

Wei Shiyi ordered the staff to move the iron pot of the stove outside, and then comforted him with a smile: "Third Uncle, don't worry, it will definitely work."

"Ladies and sisters, it's up to you next." After Wei Shiyi and Li Sanshu finished speaking, they turned around and shouted to the beauties in the lobby with a smile.

The ladies all covered their lips with silk, and replied with a smile, "Don't worry, little brother."

There was no curfew in the Northern Song Dynasty, and there were day markets, evening markets, and night markets, which broke the traditional boundaries of the market and brought unprecedented prosperity to the Northern Song Dynasty.As the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, Bianliang was even more prosperous. For example, the most lively Zhouqiao Night Market was often noisy until midnight.

The Northern Song Dynasty was rich, and the people of Bianliang were also rich, and most of the prosperity of Bianliang was contributed by them.At the same time, they are also the most leisurely, with a very slow pace of life. Those with spare money at home play during the day and rest at night, which is very leisurely.

But because of this leisure, the daily life of the people in Bianjing is less turbulent, and the only thing that can arouse their emotional changes is a new song in the house, a new lady, or a restaurant There are new dishes.

So when a strange event was held in front of a restaurant on Nanxing Street, and there was something new to eat, the people of Bianjing suddenly became excited, and everyone who had something to do and nothing to do went there to watch the excitement.

The Yun family is a resident in Nanhang Street, and there is only one person in the family, Yun San.Yun San had some spare money, so he played around all day and all night. He also came back late last night. Usually he would sleep until the sun was high before getting up, but this morning, he was woken up by the noise from the street below.

He went to the window and took a look out, only to see the noisy restaurant opposite, a group of people surrounded there didn't know what to do, only faintly heard some beauties and delicacies.

Heck, what kind of beauties and delicacies could there be?

Yun San was woken up with a very bad temper, he directly denied the activities below, and went back to bed and fell asleep, but the noise from below was getting louder and louder, which gave him a headache.With a loud shout, Yun San stood up again with a chicken coop on his head, his face gloomy.

Well, he wants to see why it's so lively below!

Yun San went downstairs and out of the room all the way, and walked straight towards the opposite restaurant. He was aggressive and wanted to settle the score with the shopkeeper, but he didn't expect that the restaurant was full of people and he couldn't squeeze in.

With a sigh of relief, Yun San squeezed into the crowd with all his strength, and he really squeezed in, but the squeeze was terrible, and all the people around him made a fuss.

"Hey! What are you doing, little brother? Didn't you see us at the front?"

"Go to the back, watching beauties eating delicious food is not your way of eating."

"Who did I say, it turned out to be you Yun Saburo! Go to the back for me quickly."

Yun San was pushed out just as soon as he entered, but this time he returned to the outside of the crowd, his expression was not so gloomy as before, but shocked.

He took a cursory look inside just now, and there were actually several ladies from Vachery standing together, holding a plate in their hands, with red, green and green food on the plate, not much food, only a small plate, but The scent was unusually tangy, and it was amazing.

Not only that, there was a small pot full of food beside it, and there was a small stove burning under the pot, simmering the food in the pot.

Free!

All the people in the queue came for the food and beauties, the people in front could see the food, but the people behind couldn't, and they started discussing while waiting anxiously.

"It's been a long time since Li's Restaurant has any new food. I've been tired of eating the few kinds of food every day, and now I finally got a new food."

"Don't tell me, I'm like you. I haven't eaten here for a long time. I didn't expect a new food to be released today. They even let us try the food for free."

"It seems that Li's Restaurant is waiting for this day! Look at that pot, that dish, who of you has seen it?"

"That's right, today I heard that there is excitement here, and I wondered who it was, but it turned out to be the restaurant of Li Sanlang's family!"

Yun San still felt a little bit uncomfortable, so he interjected, "Hey! You guys have said it before, isn't that pot just like hot pot, so there's nothing to make a fuss about."

Those people were discussing happily, Yun San stepped in, glared at the disappointed Yun San, scolded Yun San a few words and stopped discussing.Yun San stopped talking, and lined up quietly, thinking that after eating that thing, he must find out the problem.

It didn't take long to arrive at Yun San.Yun San took a wooden stick from the young lady, inserted a piece of vegetable from the plate and ate it. In an instant, the delicious and spicy taste immediately occupied his taste buds. When he swallowed the meat, the taste slid from his throat to his stomach.

He thought that if he swallowed the meat, it would lose its taste, but he didn't expect that the taste would be more lingering and strong, fresh, fragrant, numbing and spicy.

"Brother, do you want to come together again? Eat a few more pieces to taste the taste better." The young lady in front of her asked softly, and the jade-like hand even brought the plate to her face, and Yun San's face suddenly It's red.

Those girls, Yun San, all recognized them, and they were not very popular in Washeri. They all thought that these girls might lose their jobs, but they didn't expect them to find jobs here.

At this time, the young lady has a delicate face, without the heavy make-up that she had when she was in Washe, she is actually quite beautiful.

The food is delicious, the people are good-looking, it is really a beautiful food, well deserved!

"Brother, the dishes on the plate are a bit cold, do you want to try some hotter ones?" Just when Yun San was ashamed, a young boy next to the lady asked with a smile.

Wei Shiyi took a small dish of freshly cooked vegetables from the pot next to him and brought it to Yun San, asking him to taste more.As a result, as soon as he was brought in front of Yun San, he saw Yun San push away the crowd and run away.

Wei Shiyi is speechless, isn't he... Although he is a man and not as good-looking as a woman, he is not so disgusted by others.It's okay to dislike people, but why do you still dislike food?

Wei Shiyi, who was severely hit, stopped being a welcome guest at the front, and left all the important matters to the beautiful young lady, and went back to the restaurant and entered the kitchen.

Uncle Li was also in the kitchen, and when he saw Wei Shiyi came back, he asked why he wasn't in front.Wei Shiyi couldn't say that he was rejected by others in front, so he asked Li Sanshu if he could help.

"You are in good health, and you have been tired for so many days. Go and rest." Uncle Li waved his hands quickly, and said with a smile: "I don't know where you read the recipes, but the dishes you make are so delicious."

He laughed while talking, the restaurant hadn't had such a good business for several days, all the customers were snatched away by the newly opened restaurant next door, but now all the customers were brought back by Wei Shiyi's spicy hotpot.

Uncle Li was in a good mood, he pulled Wei Shiyi out of the kitchen and took him to his room to rest. Walking in the corridor, he laughed again when he saw the commotion below.

"Xiaoer, I'll add more vegetables here! I want sheep and scorpions!"

"Xiao Er, I haven't served here yet, how can there be more dishes on that table?"

"It's time for Li Sanlang to recruit more buddies, you guys are too slow!"

The restaurant was so busy, Wei Shiyi immediately asked Li Sanshu to go back, and he rested by himself.The shop was really busy, so Uncle Li gave Wei Shiyi a few words and went back to the kitchen.

When introducing new dishes, the taste of the dishes on the first day must not be faulty, and the quantity must not be small. They prepared so many ingredients yesterday, and they don't know if they are enough.

Wei Shiyi knew where the rest room was, so he walked there.He was not in a hurry, he looked at the excitement downstairs while walking, he looked down, and saw an acquaintance.

The guest who had disliked him just now was sitting in the corner eating vegetables, and what he ate was spicy hot pot.He ate fast, and after he finished eating, he raised his head and shouted, "Xiaoer, I need more food!"

"More food!" Yun San added, the soup in this spicy hot pot is also very good for rice.

Wei Shiyi thought about it silently, although he was rejected as a person, Cai was not rejected after all.

He had no idea that Yun San was not disgusted, but ashamed...

Knowing that today's business is stable, Wei Shiyi ignored it and went to bed.He slept until the afternoon, and then Wei Shiyi found that it was still very lively outside.

He looked down and saw that all the young ladies who were outside the store before had entered the store and helped serve the food in the store. The guests at the table served by the young ladies were even more happy.

Playing, playing and singing fairy-like young lady serving dishes?Wei Shiyi was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed. Uncle Li really drew inferences from one instance.

So far, the spicy hot pot has become an instant hit.

The liveliness in the hotel didn't end until the evening. The ladies paid their money and left, and the guests dispersed. The Li's restaurant was closed for business. It was already twelve o'clock in the evening.

Before leaving, those ladies actually teased Wei Shiyi, asking him to go to Washe to take care of their business when he had time. The ladies had gentle voices, but Wei Shiyi had goosebumps all over his body. The little sister will touch his face.

After coaxing them to send them away, they calculated today's income in the lobby, and everyone was shocked by this calculation.

In just one day, they actually made more than 200 taels.Mala Xiangguo is one tael, that is to say, they sold 200 copies a day today, and more than [-] people paid one or two taels of money for Mala Xiangguo.

The Northern Song Dynasty was very rich, and the purchasing power of the people was also very strong, but Wei Shiyi never thought that it would be so strong.The Li Family Restaurant is just a small restaurant. If the Li Family Restaurant is bigger, wouldn't they make more money.

At this time, the cook in the kitchen ran out and shouted in panic, "Boss, there are thieves, and all the food in the store is gone!"

Uncle Li wiped his face and said as calmly as possible: "No thief, you can go back and come back tomorrow."

The cook was stunned, and his dizzy head also reacted. He rubbed his head and laughed twice, took Li Sanshu's reward and went back.

Without outsiders, the crowd spoke again.In addition to the two daughters who were married far away, Li Sanjie, the third daughter of the Li family who married off, and her husband also came.

Sanjie Li is a pregnant woman who is about to give birth, and she said while eating at this time: "Daddy, this spicy hot pot is too delicious, no wonder you can earn so much money."

After she got pregnant, her appetite was very strange. She wanted to eat this and that for a while, but occasionally she didn't have an appetite.She has no appetite these days, but she finds it very appetizing to eat spicy hot pot, which is spicy and delicious.

Uncle Li said: "Haha, if it's delicious, eat more!"

Li Sanjie has a good appetite, and her husband is carefully feeding her food. When Li Sanjie is full, she doesn't want to eat anymore, and her husband tells her to eat more, saying that the baby will grow strong after birth.

Wei Shiyi held Xiao Shihuan in his arms, looked at Sanjie Li's big belly, and felt a little worried, so he couldn't help but said: "Brother Chen, Sanjie is already full, eating any more will be bad for her stomach."

More importantly, if you keep eating like this, what should you do if the baby in your stomach grows too big and it is difficult to give birth?In ancient times, there was no caesarean section, and giving birth to a woman was like walking through the gate of hell.

But no one listened to what Wei Shiyi said, instead they said to him: "Brother Shi, third sister is in good health, she's fine, don't worry."

No matter how good this woman is, she was very weak when she gave birth.

Helpless, no one understood Wei Shiyi's worries, and all of them were there to make Sanjie eat more, and Sanniang even offered to make up for Sanjie's body.

Going home at night, Wei Shiyi didn't let Uncle Li enter the house, and pulled him aside to talk, "Uncle San, can I take away today's bonus?"

Uncle Li paused for a moment, and asked, "What do you want so much money for? You already found the doctor?"

"Not yet." Wei Shiyi said, "Third Uncle, I want to use the money to build a set of tools. The little money I have may not be enough."

Well, knowing the reason, Uncle Li quickly took out a bag of silver from his pocket, "There are 200 taels in it, you use it first, and if you don't have enough, you can ask Uncle Third for it."

Wei Shiyi caught the bag and replied with a smile, "Okay!"

"Hey, Brother Shi, let me ask you, why did you think of asking Miss Washer to... sell this dish?" Uncle Li finally found a chance to ask.

Wei Shiyi thought for a while, and said deeply: "Since ancient times, affection cannot be retained, only routines can win people's hearts."

Uncle Li: "?"

Since ancient times, no matter men or women, beauty and food can not be disappointed.

The author has something to say:

Wei Shiyi (sorrowful and angry): Just because I am a man, I was rejected!

Zhou Yun: Who dares? !
