The largest land-based son-in-law's mansion in Beijing is naturally owned by Cai Boqin's family. Because of the intuition of merchants and the "internal information", Cai Boqin purchased a large amount of real estate in Beijing before Zhao Zhen moved the capital, especially the east city of Beijing, which is almost a place where high-ranking officials and nobles live.

Cai Boyi was very cunning. Before he moved the capital, he had already set up Cai Ji's industries, restaurants, tea shops, and shops in Dongcheng, and had all kinds of food, drinks, and fun. Therefore, the land prices in Dongcheng soared rapidly, so that later powerful and wealthy families all tried to resettle their houses in Dongcheng.

So Dongcheng became a wealthy place in Beijing, from the ministers of the husband and the wealthy businessmen, even the royal family who were placed in the south city wanted to set up a house in Dongcheng.

The rising land prices here have also driven housing prices in the entire city of Beijing. As long as the people in the city have a house in Beijing, they can feel at ease. If there is an urgent need at home, even if they sell the house, they can make a lot of money when they move outside the city.

But basically no one does this. They regard real estate as more important than life. Even if their family is in ruins, they will never sell real estate. As a result, housing prices in Beijing are extremely high, and at the same time, household registration in Beijing has become increasingly difficult to deal with.

Compared with Peking Prefecture, it is much better. At least the territory of Peking Prefecture is very large. Some places build houses, but there are very few fields. Most of them are land with the owner. Where can I find another piece of land?

Farmers can't live in Beijing, but as long as they have land in Peking, they still live well. The prices in Beijing are much higher than other places, but this is not a big deal, because the wages in Beijing are also high, and even a restaurant can earn ten cents of money per month, which is something that I can't even imagine in other places.

Some people say that the reason why Beijing is like this is Cai Boyi’s fault. The prices are very good, and people need to work hard. Once they lose their jobs, they will even make a living. However, Cai Boyi said: "The world should have the income from work. If you live in a daze every day and don’t have a proper and stable job, what’s the point of living?"

As people's life pressure increases, another extreme emerges, which is the increase in entertainment activities. Not only does Beijing have football arenas, but there are countless large elephant sheds in the warehouse. There are no less than six or seven places in the East City alone, and there are even more small venues.

The brothels like Tianshui Lane are even more like a street, and the literati and poets lingered here have gone. It is said that the most popular red official can have tens of thousands of heads in one day, and the competition between courtesans is even more competitive.

If there are two brothels fighting for beauty, and even if the Peking Mansion needs to send yamen runners to maintain order with the patrol of Beijing City, this is a grand occasion far beyond Tokyo City. Once they become courtesans, they will be the topic of conversation for the people of Tokyo City after dinner, and everyone can say one, two or three, just like a female official.

Of course, Zhao Zhen no longer had the interest in escorting to the brothel. He had passed the age of free and easy personality. He had already entered his thirties and had half of his energy spent on his memorials every day. He had no energy to spend on these innocent men. The beauties in the harem could not "work hard".

Besides, if you run into a minister in the court, wouldn’t it be embarrassing?

When Zhao Zhen was passing by Tianshui Lane, Sancai let the flatterers who were attracting guests retreat and said intimately that the look of killing talent was so terrifying.

Zhao Zhen left the palace alone, so the guards could breathe a sigh of relief. If the royal heir was added in the past, they would have been busy.

Although it was already noon, the street vendors selling snacks on the roadside were still trying hard to attract customers. Or the soup cakes tasted good, or the hot drinks in their homes could drive away the cold, and the lively level was not inferior to that of Beijing, which had just woken up in the morning.

It should be almost the end of the New Year, and there were more colorful floats and other things. The young woman standing on it made a colorful ribbon and the goods written on the business name, and sprinkled small paper bags of candies and cakes, which attracted passers-by to watch. It is said that this was also the first method Cai Ji came up with. Zhao Zhen was about to get close, but was taken by Shang San and took one first, stuffed it into his mouth and tasted it: "Officials, let alone, these candies taste very good!"

Zhao Zhen rolled his eyes: "Nonsense, if it's bad, who would buy it at the merchant?" After that, he stuffed one into his mouth and chewed it carefully. It was crispy, crispy in the mouth, sweet but not greasy, and served with the best snacks. For some reason, almost all the people of Song like to eat sweets.

There was no meal at noon. After eating a piece of candy, Zhao Zhen was hungry. There were wontons sold at the street stall. The wontons were even made of pork bone soup. The strong smell could be smelled all over the street. He pointed to the stall and said, "Let's go there and eat it. I smell this very good!"

Sancai looked at the stalls where he bought wontons, and the tables and chairs were wiped quickly, but there were a little more people and there were no free tables. He hesitated and said: "Official family, this place is full, let's eat elsewhere?"

After the third sentence finished, Zhao Zhen had already left. With so many empty seats, how could he say he had no place? Roadside stalls were his favorite back then. Just live comfortably. What's the use of caring about so many rules? Zhao Zhen didn't believe that someone would assassinate him at this time, let alone that there were personal guards around him that would not be able to solve the "trouble".

The fragrant and clear bone soup was filled with oil flowers. Wontons as thin as clouds floated on it, adding a little green onion and a little pepper. Zhao Zhen's appetite opened, and he always felt that these roadside stalls were good medicines to cure anorexia.

Although there are no chili peppers, it is excellent to add a little pickle. The pickle with a unique fermented aroma and the wontons with fresh meat are full of fragrance. What surprised Zhao Zhen even more was that the small wonton filling also contained chopped shrimp skin.

Shrimp skin is a delicacy by the sea. It is not surprising that it appears in Tokyo, but it is extremely valuable to appear in small wontons. Moreover, this is not a magnificent restaurant, but a snack on the street.

A bowl of wontons is only 150 cents. The price is not expensive in Beijing. The most important thing is that this wonton stall is sold as a single one. Zhao Zhen ate a big bowl and added ten more to only 20 cents.

"Looking at a big bowl of wontons, you can eat three or five in one bite. This is not true for the official family!"

Zhao Zhen glanced at Sancai. After paying the money, he said this and knocked his head. Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "If you kill the talent, if the shopkeeper of the wonton stall hears you, you will be anxious to use your fists and feet."

In Sancai's eyes, the vendor just now must be a profiteer. Wontons are not worth more than ten cents in Tokyo, but they suddenly rose to twenty cents in Beijing, and they have thin skin and little filling. What is it that they are not a profiteer?

"The three-talented official said this badly. The wonton soup uses the best pork bones. It takes a full night to cook it alone. Moreover, each of his small wontons is fresh meat, and it also has delicious shrimp skins, fifteen cents and thirty cents, only half a cent. This is also expensive? The prices in our Beijing city are so high that they are scary!"
