Chapter 834 The bustling night market, the princess wants to create a small society
The restoration and implementation of night markets have given the middle class an opportunity to spend money and more citizens to make money.
Every time around Shen, the night markets of all sizes in the southeast, west and northeast of the capital are bustling and lively. The residential shops on both sides of the street are also brightly lit. Citizens, with their old and young, walked out of their homes and began to enjoy this rare prosperous scene.
In the night market, vendors’ hawking, students’ recitation and singing of singers are mixed together. People stroll in the lively night market, shopping and consumption, and eliminating loneliness.
The market is full of goods and various department stores are of various types, especially the most colorful snacks.
The night market is open in the middle of the hut weather. In the hot summer months, the fine powder of the hemp drink, vegetarian sand sugar, ice and snow cold Yuanzi, crystal horns, raw water papaya, medicinal papaya, chicken head sand sugar, licorice ice and snow cold water, lychee paste... are all stored in a plum red box, and they feel cool and refreshing when they are eaten.
The prosperity of the night market has also made the citizens' spiritual and cultural life increasingly rich. Every evening, men, women, young and old go to restaurants and teahouses to enjoy music and dance. The wealthy merchants also seize this favorable opportunity and launch various new ways to attract citizens to stop and consume.
The front door of the Jingshi Hotel is tied to the colorful building and the doors are brightly lit and candles are shining towards the evening lights and candles, and hundreds of singers with heavy makeup gathered on the main corridor, attracting moving purses on the street in various ways.
These singers are known as music and are different from prostitutes in later generations. Their singing is both an entertaining and an artistic performance for people to appreciate. In fact, these singers are extremely similar in nature to later literary and artistic groups, but they are just different in terms of title.
Artists also quickly brought many innovative performances such as novels, Tao Zhen, Zhugong Tune, Fruit, and movies to the stage of performances in restaurants and teahouses. In addition, selling hexagrams, drinking old clothes, exploring, shaving, paper paintings, tuning songs, and history. In short, everyone who comes to the night market can find activities that suit their interests and enjoy the excitement of this "city that never sleeps".
It was already night, and the Huangming Weekly Public House was still brightly lit. Wu Weiye, who had just returned from the night market, was writing in his public house, turning the prosperous scenery he had witnessed into exquisite articles for the clerks to verify whether there were any typos and print them so that they could publish the new weekly publication tomorrow morning.
The night market brought a fresh wind to the calm but dull Ming Dynasty, especially those literati and scholars who are accustomed to being romantic. Many people lingered in various markets every night at the beginning of the night market opening, tasting delicious food, drinking wine, and enjoying beautiful maids. Many people have gathered together to talk about it, compared the current market situation with the previous Song Dynasty. It has become the consensus of most people.
Of course, if there is no factory guard, the literati would not mind publishing articles in the Huangming Weekly newspaper with a brilliant pen, praising Zhu Youjian as a famous king for all time. Now, forget it, after all, the court's eagle claws are everywhere, which still makes people feel very uncomfortable.
"Sister Niu Niu, there are too few yogurts available today, and there is not much left now. You can continue to make more tomorrow. After noon, you will start making more. Many people are thinking about buying it!
Sister Rong, I’ll give this guy a penny! This fish soup is delicious!”
Behind a stall in the night market outside the Xizhimen in Beijing, Zhu Niu, wearing a light yellow skirt, sat on the brocade, enjoying a bowl of "Grandma Li fish soup", while giving a few words to Niu Niu who was busy ordering money, then turned to an older palace servant who was serving him.
The palace maid named Sister Rong immediately took out a corner of silver from a purse and handed it to the young man who was delivering the fish soup. The young man in green clothes took the silver reward with a smile, then bowed and shouted loudly: "Thank you, Miss, to reward the silver reward! In fifty years, Miss Zhu will still be as beautiful as she is now!"
"Okay, okay! I'll just wipe my honey mouth to you, and send you ten bowls of fish soup at this hour tomorrow night. I... I will give you some rewards! Don't forget!"
Zhu Meiyu's auspicious words from the food delivery guy made him very enjoyable, and then stopped and smiled and joked.
"Okay! I will definitely deliver it to you at this time tomorrow!"
"Miss, we have made a fortune today! I just counted it. From the hour of You to now, we have collected more than 8,000 copper coins and more than a dozen silver coins! If we continue to do so, we can sell more than 1,000 silver coins in one month!"
Li Xiaohua, who had taken someone to count today's turnover, happily carried the hem of her skirt and moved to Zhu Niu's side with a few steps, with excitement on her face.
Li Xiaohua is Niu Niu who died on the streets of Ji County, Henan in the eighth year of Chongzhen. After Zhu Mei opened the dairy farm the year before yesterday, she picked her from the imperial village to help manage the daily affairs of the dairy farm.
Niu Niu, who is twenty years old this year, is only one year older than Zhu Mom, but she is already the mother of two children. Her husband also works in the dairy farm with her. Both young children are studying and going to school in the school run by the palace servants.
Shengyuan Dairy is now also transforming into a small social group model. Under Zhu Youjian's special care, the dairy farm introduced more than 200 European dairy cows from the Netherlands last year. The milk production also increased significantly, and its turnover was far ahead of the other three dairy farms in the capital.
In order to facilitate workers to get to get off work, Zhu Meishi took out some of the profits earned in recent years, repaired houses near the dairy farm and distributed them to the workers to live in. Then he called experts from the Ministry of Works and made detailed plans for the entire dairy farm. Since last year, many supporting facilities have been invested one after another. Among them, the two most important auxiliary facilities of Xuetang Hospital are also the earliest and best.
Except for some of the couples who have families working together, the rest are orphans selected by Zhu Meishi from the Yangyuan Academy. Among them, 70% of the girls are between eight and twelve years old.
When building houses for these orphans, Zhu Mai did not build a collective dormitory like the one in the imperial village, but insisted on building them in accordance with the model of the people in the capital.
She plans to let these orphans get married and settle down here when they grow up in the future. She will try her best to ensure that these poor people and their descendants have no worries about food and clothing. Zhu Mai has full confidence in this.
