The next day, after a good sleep, Liu Jin came back to life full of blood and blue. He pulled Zhao Erhu up early in the morning and prepared to take a tour of the largest, most prosperous city in this era.
At this time, after more than 100 years of development in the Ming Dynasty, Beijing was already very prosperous, with a population of more than 1 million. Looking at the earth at the same time, it was definitely the first city on earth.
"The population is increasing day by day, and the goods are abundant!"
At this time, the population of Beijing was so large that even the traditional urban areas could no longer accommodate the growing population. They could only continue to expand outwards, slowly forming a huge "outer city".
The ¡®outer city¡¯ is an area where business people from outside the capital gather. There are a large number of commercial stores and shacks next to each other, and they live in them. The commerce is very developed, the population is large, and it is also very lively.
Liu Jin and Zhao Erhu walked into the Grand View Garden like Grandma Liu, looking around the streets very curiously. From time to time, they would go to stalls and shops to have a look and ask questions, as if they had never seen the world before. He looks like a bumpkin from the countryside.
Especially Zhao Erhu, his eyesight was almost blurry, he didn't understand many things, and he would ask every one he saw, which made Liu Jin feel a little annoyed. He felt like a child, with a hundred thousand whys and whys. The deputy will ask you until you are unable to answer.
¡°Capitalism has already sprouted, but unfortunately, in the end, it did not give birth to the powerful monster of capital, and it continues to repeat everything in the past.¡±
Throughout the morning, Liu Jin observed the entire prosperous city very carefully, walking through each market, seeing many shops, and witnessing the prosperity of this ancient city.
The entire capital is very prosperous in commerce. It is said that there are more than 100 handicraft trades alone, and the functions of each market are also very detailed.
Chongnanfang in Langdong specializes in rice, flour, grain, firewood, firewood, and charcoal; Zhengxifang in Langxi specializes in mules and horses; Zhengdongfang in Langdong specializes in chickens, ducks, geese, fish, etc. A place for poultry business, and so on.
The division of labor is very detailed. Different markets specialize in different businesses. Even the places where craftsmen gather are also divided in detail. The gathering of carpenters forms carpentry alleys, and the blacksmiths also form alleys dedicated to blacksmithing. Julien's rope maker also has his own alley, and each of these alleys can be regarded as a professional community.
All this is enough to show that capital has begun to sprout.
"Brother Jin, the girls in this city are so beautiful, they all look like fairies."
Liu Jin was thinking about some high-level things, but Zhao Erhu's eyes were staring at the people on the street. When he saw the beautiful girl, he couldn't help but say to Liu Jin.
"Do you know what a fairy looks like?"
Liu Jin gave Zhao Erhu a hard knock. It seemed that it was time for this boy to marry his mother-in-law.
"I don't know~"
Zhao Erhu touched the place where Liu Jin knocked him on his head and replied weakly.
"That's it, don't look like a country bumpkin, keep your eyes honest, don't look around, or someone will dig out your eyes."
Liu Jin glared at Zhao Erhu and warned him sternly. This is the capital city. Just throwing a brick at it can knock out several fourth-grade officials. If you get into trouble here, it will really happen. I don¡¯t know how he died.
"Yes~"
Hearing Liu Jin's words, Zhao Erhu lowered his head, drooped his ears, and looked honest.
"Let's go and eat. We're hungry too. Let's be extravagant today and go to a restaurant to have a good meal."
After looking at Zhao Erhu, Liu Jin looked at a restaurant not far away - Wangyue Tower, ready to taste the delicacies of this era.
When Zhao Erhu behind him heard this, he immediately became energetic. When it comes to eating, he is always full of motivation.
It was lunchtime at this time, and the business at Wangyue Tower was quite good. When Liu Jin went there, there were no seats on the first floor, so he went up to the second floor. There were only a few tables left on the second floor.
"Sir, what do you want?"
Like the children on TV, the children in Wangyue Tower also come over to pour tea for Liu Jin.
"What's your specialty?"
Liu Jin took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and said.
"Our eight-treasure phoenix bird, Buddha's hand golden scroll, mushroom duck paw, colorful beef tenderloin, carp dragon's door, Ruyi lamb chops, spring bamboo shoots after rain, and buckle three silk??Not bad. "
The child was very skillful in naming some of the specialty dishes in the store, and the names sounded very high-end.
"Then let's all have one."
Liu Jin nodded and said, since this time he was going to be extravagant, Liu Jin didn't plan to save money, so he ordered everything.
"Okay~"
"Sir, what would you like to drink? Our store has fine aged Nuerhong, Zhuyeqing, Fenjiu from Shanxi, and wine from the Western Regions."
When the waiter heard that Liu Jin wanted it, he immediately became happy and quickly started selling the drinks in his store.
"Then let's have some daughter-in-law."
Liu Jin thought for a while and said, I used to watch too much about Nuerhong wine on TV. Now that I have the opportunity, I naturally want to try it.
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment, I'll be here soon."
The waiter happily went to prepare food and drinks for Liu Jin.
Soon, in about ten minutes, all the dishes and wine Liu Jin ordered were served, and Liu Jin also began to slowly taste the delicacies of this era.
"The taste is not bad, but it is still far behind compared to later generations. The advantage is that the ingredients are natural, there are very few flavorings, and the original flavor is not bad."
"This wine is indeed good, very mellow and fragrant, but the alcohol content is relatively low. It should not be distilled wine yet, but I remember reading a historical time travel novel before, saying that this distilled wine had been introduced from abroad during the Yuan Dynasty. Could it be that it has not become popular yet?¡±
"Maybe I can start a distilled liquor business in the future and make a lot of money."
After tasting it carefully, Liu Jin also gained some knowledge about wine and food, and at the same time, he also locked in a new way to make money.
While Liu Jin was enjoying the food and wine, two groups of people also went up to the second floor. One group was a few young people dressed as scholars, all of them high-spirited and aloof.
As for the other group of people, it seems a bit special. The leader is a middle-aged man with extraordinary appearance and majestic bearing. He is followed by a boy about eleven or twelve years old. This boy has red lips, white teeth, and handsome eyebrows, but there is always a trace of of rebellion.
Behind the two of them was a fair-faced, beardless middle-aged man who looked like a butler, carefully serving the two masters in front of him. At the same time, there were also four or five well-dressed men behind him, who should be bodyguards or the like.
The two groups came up one after another, each found a table and sat down, chatting and laughing with each other. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
