Chapter 167: Golden Wind and Jade Dew, First Encounter with Master Li

The sky has just revealed the white of the fish's belly, after the hustle and bustle of the night market for half a night, the streets of Bianliang City are still very quiet in the early morning, and you can only hear the sound of the monks in the city playing iron signs and following the door to announce the dawn. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The guys from the shops on the West Street of Info got up when they heard the bell, and they yawned and prepared to sell fried white sausages, blood viscera soup, rice porridge, baked cakes and other morning market dim sum.

Xiao Tang had already gotten up early, and walked to the front yard with the first rays of morning light falling from the sky, he took a deep breath, his fists suddenly came out, and he practiced Zhou Dong's red fist. I saw that Xiao Tang's body was sharp, and his fists and kicks were all loud, and the strength of his fists and feet was rigid and soft, and soft and rigid. Xiao Tang suddenly made a mistake in his legs, his fists were like meteors, his arms were like whips, and his waist was like electricity, and his eyes were like electricity, and his moves seemed to be mixed with the power of opening the stele and cracking the stone.

"Young master, good boxing skills!" Xiao Tang heard someone's words, he put away his fist, and smiled at the man: "Brother Yang Xu, you also get up early." ”

Yang Xu looked at Xiao Tang fixedly, sighed, but said another: "Back then, what I did was to make a living every day, and I lived a life of spending a lot of money, but I didn't want to be framed by the nine-headed worm......

I have experienced all the ups and downs in the world, and the success or failure of life and death is much more downplayed. Now I just want to use my ability to choose the opportunity to make money to assist the young master to achieve a great cause, even if the future is dangerous, I just regard it as idle. But...... What you want to do, young master, is it really imperative, do you have to do it? ”

Of course, Xiao Tang knew what Yang Xu was referring to, and he also understood why all his henchmen who knew what he had conceived had such a skeptical attitude. He still nodded to Yang Xu firmly and said, "Yes, that matter is imperative." ”

"Good! I know. Now that the young master has made a decision, if the young master needs me to mobilize money, food, and materials, I will find a way to inform my cronies to do it. Yang Xu also replied simply, what he wanted was just to get a clear answer from Xiao Tang, and now that Xiao Tang had given him an answer, Yang Xu returned to his previous shrewd and capable appearance, and said: "Young master, the opening of the new site of Jinfeng Yulu Building in Bianliang, Tokyo is imminent, and it involves a private visit to the official family. ”

Xiao Tang patted Yang Xu's shoulder angrily and said, "Okay, when Xiao Yi and Guan Zhong are ready, let's go together." ”

"Two brothers, we know that we are going to the new building today to check the spot, and we have already prepared." As he was talking, he saw Yan Qing and Xu Guanzhong already laughing and groaning......

Jinfeng Yulu Building, that is, the original Bailu Building, is located at the north end of Bianliang Royal Street in Tokyo, and the building is composed of five buildings: east, west, south, north and middle. Three storeys high, five spectacular and gorgeous, beautiful buildings have flybridge railings in the middle of the light and dark, arranged high and low, staggered, the end is magnificent.

This building not only used to make a living as a restaurant, but also an important liquor workshop, in the Song Dynasty, Tokyo large and small liquor restaurants, roughly divided into main stores, foot shops, large scale and the right to self-brew wine sales called the main store, must be purchased from the Beijing liquor (wine store), and then retail sales are foot shops. There are countless small and small foot shops in Bianliang City, Tokyo, but there are only 72 main stores, and the white alum building of that year is the first of the main restaurants.

In the "Wine Names" written by Zhang Cixian, who tasted the name of the world's liquor, the Meishou wine and the liquor produced by Bailulou were listed as the first in the city store category, and Song Renzong issued an edict before the Tiansheng Dynasty who was willing to contract the annual liquor tax of this building, so he allocated 3,000 small hotels in the capital to him (the original edict: the Bailulou Hotel is like a love to buy and buy, and make a profit, so that 3,000 households are allocated in the Jingjiao Dian wine house, and the wine is sold in the store every day), and the merchants who contracted Fan Lou during the Song Huizong period, the lawsuit will also give them generous conditions. When Yang Xu, who had a unique vision, first arrived in Beijing, he fell in love with this restaurant at a glance and bought it with a huge amount of money.

When Xiao Tang, Yang Xu, Yan Qing, and Xu Guanzhong came to Jinfeng Yulu Building (Bailu Building), they saw that the bead curtains in the building were embroidered, and the lights and candles were shining. The second and third floors are mostly for high-rollers and wealthy people to set up banquets, and the spacious hall downstairs has been transformed into a place for musicians to play music.

The entertainment industry in the prosperous Song Dynasty market was highly developed, and the demand of the people in Beijing for recreation and entertainment was also increasing. If you really wait until the day when the Jinfeng Yulu Building opens, it will inevitably attract the literati and elegant guests from all over the world in the Beijing Division, and even the Quartet of the Great Song Dynasty, as well as the princes and grandsons.

At that time, the most prosperous country in the world was the Great Song Dynasty, and the most prosperous city in the Great Song Dynasty was Bianliang, Tokyo. Xiao Tang roughly swept around the magnificent, delicate and elegant scene in the building, nodded with satisfaction, and exclaimed: "I have socialized with people in the Daimyo's Mansion, Goolan Tile House, and Restaurant Teahouse, but how have I ever seen these five magnificent and luxurious mansions?" Brother Yang Xu's good means to take care of this place so exquisitely! ”

Yang Xu shook his head and smiled: "This alum building was originally a prosperous place, not to mention that the world is reading the reputation of Jinfeng Yulu Building, at that time, if it weren't for Xiao Yi, Guan Zhong and Liu Xingshou to make the music fang a blockbuster, just me, a layman with copper stench, would not be of much use." ”

Yan Qing also said after hearing this: "Without Brother Yang Xu's ability to win tricks, what can Guan Zhong and I do?" ”

When Xiao Tang was smiling and looking at Yang Xu, Yan Qing, and Xu Guanzhong pushing Qian, an old woman greeted him with joy on her face, and said with a smile: "This is Xiao Renxia Xiao, a big official of the Daimyo Mansion?" Hey, today's old body is also fortunate to meet a nobleman! This alum building... No, now it can be renamed Jinfeng Yulu Building, and it will all depend on Xiao Daguan to take care of it in the future. ”

Yang Xu introduced to Xiao Tang: "Young master, this is the original owner of this room, Grandma Li. These days are making people pack up their belongings and move to new places. ”

Although Xiao Tang was a little repulsed by the old bustard business done by Grandma Li, Song Shi Qinglou was a legitimate industry, and it was not that the old bustard of a Qinglou was the kind of person who forced a woman from a good family to do the skin and meat trade, so he also said politely to her: "I am so tired of Mama Li's hard work, in the future, you and I will make a living in Bianliang, Tokyo, and we should take care of each other." ”

Hearing Xiao Tang say this, the folds on her face suddenly wrinkled, and she smiled again: "There is just something to ask for to come to Xiao Daguan!" Xiao Daguan, you were born exquisitely, and you have done a lot of popular wonderful songs, and now you have a new root in this Tokyo City, but I am afraid that there is a shortage of manpower, and there are many clever maiko singers over there, do you need to use human hands? ”

Xiao Tang frowned, this Grandma Li said that when she asked her girls to come to Jinfeng Yulu Lou to help, it was indeed to use the name of Jinfeng Yulu Lou to enhance the popularity of her subordinates singing and dancing and Qing Qi Hongqi (Qing Qi people do not sell their art, and Hongqi sells both), just like when Xiao Tang and Cuixiangju Liu Yingyan cooperated in the Daimyo Mansion, as Jinfeng Yulu Lou Le Fang became more and more prosperous, Liu Yingyan was also praised as the first Oiran line on the north and two roads of River 1, so Li Ma did this business, how could she not know such benefits?

Seeing Xiao Tang's hesitant face, Grandma Li hurriedly said: "Xiao Daguan, the girls under the old skills play singing and dancing, all of them are not all good, although they are not as good as Su Xiaoxiao and Qin Cao, but they are also not inferior to Xie Yuying, Su Xiaoqing and other ice and snow smart girls, it is a huge Tokyo City, and there are few who can match the kabuki trained by the old body. The old body also knew that he was touched with the blessings of the big officials Xiao at this time, and he didn't have to ask the big officials to spend any money, but he just asked the old girl to show her face in the building after the opening of the Golden Wind and Jade Dew Building. ”

Yan Qing saw that Xiao Tang was also inconvenient to reject Grandma Li, and was thinking about sharing her eldest brother's worries, when Wen Yan sent the old bustard away, she saw a little girl in her early tens, holding a lyre the size of more than half of her body, and just walked downstairs with difficulty.

The girl's forehead was covered with fine sweat, and she staggered forward with her mouth pursed, and she tripped under her feet, and was about to fall to the ground with a "ahhh Yan Qing saw it flash out like a swallow, and wrapped her arms around the girl's waist with one hand, and clasped the lyre that was about to come out with the other.

Yan Qing gently put the girl down, and couldn't help but be stunned when she saw her appearance clearly, the girl's bright eyes were clear and clear with a spiritual charm, the willow eyebrows were like a crescent moon, and her skin was like snow, she was a complete beauty. Seeing that the beautiful girl was still in a panic, Yan Qing couldn't help but feel pity in his heart, he handed the lyre into the girl's hand, and asked softly, "Are you okay?" ”

The girl saw that Yan Qingsheng's eyes were like paint, and her face was like a pile of Qiong, and when she thought of Fang Cai, a handsome little Langjun hugging her, her face seemed to be burning, and she couldn't help lowering her head and saying, "Thank you for this son......" Although the girl's voice was soft, it was as clear as the first cry of the yellow warbler.

Seeing this scene, Grandma Li frowned and said, "Master, why are you careless?" ”

Teacher? Xiao Tang was shocked in his heart, could it be that the legendary prostitute Li Shishi, who was eye-catching both in the official history and in the Water Margin, and also had an affair with Song Huizong? Xiao Tang hurriedly asked Grandma Li again: "Grandma Li, this little girl is ......?"

Grandma Li replied with a smile: "This Master Li was originally the daughter of a craftsman who ran a dyeing house in Bianjing City, and her father died in prison because of the delay in dyeing cloth from the imperial court, and I took her in when I saw that she was pitiful..."

Sure enough, it was her! Xiao Tang nodded slightly, and then said to Grandma Li: "Mama, this Master Li, I want to accept her from this Golden Wind Jade Dew Building." ”

Grandma Li was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then said happily: "Xiao Daguan has promised the old body?" It's just that although this Master Li has a good voice, she is young and has not mastered her art in elementary school, and there are still many ..... in the old body who knows all kinds of operas, smart and considerate girls."

Without waiting for Grandma Li to finish speaking, Xiao Tang interrupted her with a wave of his hand and said, "Mama Li, I mean, I want to redeem myself for this Master Li." ”
