The Hanjing City is actually somewhat similar to the structure of a pyramid.

There are three palace cities in the north, and the south of the palace city is the imperial city. The three provinces, six ministries, five temples, nine prisons, north and south yamen, etc. in the imperial city are all gathered here. The south of the imperial city is the Han Jing City, also known as the inner city. The imperial city is larger than the palace city, and the inner city is larger than the imperial city.

On the south of Hanjing City, there is a Luo City, also known as the outer city. This outer city does not enclose the entire inner city of Hanjing, but only covers the southern half, with half of each side of the east and west.

Therefore, the upper half of the inner city is also called Shangdongcheng and Shangxicheng. These two areas are rich in the east and rich in the west, and are both places where great and powerful people gather.

In the lower city of the inner city, there is the commercial street market area.

As for the outer city, there are more residential areas and workshop areas for ordinary people, as well as some warehouses and commodity wholesale markets.

Today, Hanjing City is no longer the pattern of Chang'an City. The closure and isolation of the market has been abolished, and the streets have become the most lively place, especially the streets, which have become commercial centers. However, when it comes to the outer city, it will inevitably be more remote and deserted.

The twelfth lunar month is about to enter, and the rebellion has ended. Nearly 200,000 soldiers from all over the country were stationed next to Hanjing. The court issued an order to prohibit these soldiers from entering the inner city. However, they were allowed to go shopping and play in the outer city during vacation.

Many soldiers of the kings came to Hanjing for the first time, and they were extremely amazed when they looked at the majestic Hanjing. They took leave in groups in groups to come to the city, strolling around the bustling streets, and some also used their rewards to buy some varied goods in the city, or try the food in the capital.

The most popular one is naturally the tavern.

The taverns in the outer city are no more luxurious than those in the inner city’s restaurants and hotels, with thoughtful service, exquisite dishes and excellent wine, but the prices are also amazingly expensive.

In the outer city, there are few such big restaurants, and here they are mainly taverns and restaurants.

Especially in the grain dock, there is a small tavern, small hotel and a street. The grain dock is located at the east second gate of the outer city, and there is a water gate here. The boat can go straight to the Tang River on the Han River and then reach the water gate of the Hanjing City, and enter the canal in the capital city.

Inside the second gate of the outer city, there is a dock that supplies grain from Hanjing. It is basically transported by ship, unloading the grain here, and then sending it to a nearby granary.

It is precisely because of this pier and the nearby granary that a large number of laborers are also concentrated here. They are specially designed to load and unload ships and transport grain to warehouses.

Workers are all young and strong men, and they earn hard work and hard money. Working here, they still have enough money to earn enough money for family members every day, but they are not rich.

After being busy for a day, many people like to go to nearby taverns to make some wine and drink some.

The business of these laborers, crew members, shopkeepers and shopkeepers of nearby shops and guys is affordable.

Those who come to the tavern to drink alcohol basically drink some Bashangjiu, or Bailu Laobaigan, or Li Ji Erguotou.

When you came in, you shouted how much wine you wanted, and the shopkeeper scooped it from the wine jar with a long wooden spoon. These wooden spoons were all regulated, one spoon was exactly one or two. Guests could see if the spoon was full, so that the old man would be fine.

Pour the wine into the bowl and leave.

Sometimes there are people who just don’t have money, but as long as they come often, they can be directly kept in the account and paid back together next time.

"Shopkeeper, come half a pound of winter wine."

Li Chao walked into the tavern and found that there were many people inside. Three small restaurants, one bright and two dark. There were a large counter with many wine jars and barrels behind them. There were many tables in the room, and there were no private rooms and elegant seats or anything else. They were all tables, and there were several people who could sit at each table.

I sat on the table without knowing each other, and there was no peace and quiet. Everyone spoke loudly, and people slapped the table from time to time.

Li Chao said he would make half a pound of winter wine, and someone immediately came over, and someone shouted, "I'm sure I'm a royal army again."

Although Hanjing is at the center of the world, this place is good to say that it is north, it is customary to regard it as the north, especially many people from Hanjing moved from Chang'an and other north.

What they are more accustomed to is drinking white wine, especially those who work hard. The white wine is more vigorous and can be satisfied with one or two taels. It is not as good as rice wine. It doesn’t feel like drinking it at first, but it’s very energetic afterwards.

As for those who call rice wine winter wine, almost all of them are from Jiangnan.

The shopkeeper picked up a small gourd and gave Li Chao half a pound of winter wine. He put a funnel on the gourd, a filter on it, and then used a spoon of one or two to beat eight spoons.

When removing the filter, Li Chao saw some slags on it and even some wine and mosquitoes. This situation shows that the rice wine is very cheap.

However, Li Chao didn't dislike it. In fact, drinking alcohol sometimes makes people feel a sense of atmosphere.

"Does this guest want rice wine too?"

Cheng Qian behind Li Chao shook his head, "Give me half a pound of beer."

"Half a pound of ale, it's so good."

After hearing this, someone shouted, "Hey, these are still a few rich brothers from the King of Kings."

Although the beer and rice wine in this tavern are of average quality, they are still more expensive than the old dried, Erguotou and soju that the laborers often drink. Especially beer, which is like drinking water, is not cheap and most people are unwilling to drink.

Li Chao and his fours each ordered half a pound of rice wine and beer, so they took the wine and found an empty table to sit down.

A woman in her thirties came over, "Do you want some guests to serve wine?"

Cheng Qian was a little surprised, "Is there any woman doing business in the tavern?"

Li Chao smiled and said, "Who said women are inferior to men? Women can support their families by themselves? In the past, weren't there many rude girls who sold wine in Chang'an as trunks?"

The woman was wearing a simple cloth robe, but she was generous. She told Li Chao and the others that her husband worked at the wharf, and there were many children in the family, and there were parents to support her. Life was quite hard, so she worked in this tavern, and the older children at the family also worked in workshops. Now there are five people in the family making money, and their lives are much better.

In her words, she didn't care much about showing up in public. Perhaps this is the current trend. Everyone is thinking about making money and living a better life. Young girls often go to the workshop to work early, and women come out to set up stalls or shops to do things, which is accustomed to.

"What are some foods to eat?" Li Chao was in a good mood after hearing the woman's words. This kind of open atmosphere is a rare progress.

"Our tavern has a lot of dishes, including meat-skin jelly, boiled broad beans, fried beans, pickled radish skin, salted duck eggs, dried tofu, etc. There are also hard dishes, such as fried fish, donkey meat, pork head meat, pig ears, braised chicken claws, etc., as well as melon seeds, hazelnuts, etc., which are quite cheap."

The laborers on the docks nearby were tired for a day, so they bought one or two taels of wine, made up a chat, and chatted around, and then went home with satisfaction.

Li Chao ordered a few.

"Another two pounds of pancakes, a few green onions, and a bowl of sauce."

Before the meal was served, Li Chao, Chengqian, Ke Qing and Chengqian's guards started drinking together. The tavern was noisy, but it was quite delicious.

But in a blink of an eye, the table suddenly rose in a corner and a group of people began to fight.

A hard worker shouted, "Damn these red guys dare to bully our Yunniang, fuck him, let's go together!"

Then, a group of big men rushed over and joined the battle group excitedly.

"It seems that a soldier just patted the butt of the woman who ordered the food for us just now, which made the public angry." Ke Qing's eyes were sharp-eyed.

Because most of the soldiers of the royal army were wearing the red uniforms of the imperial officers and soldiers, they were called the Red Lady by the people in the tavern. Chengqian's guards wanted to scold these guys for being brave, but they saw that they had been surrounded by a group of force workers.
