Chapter 975 The enemy is in Edo Castle! The attack on the sacred man! Civil war breaks out! [4500](1/3)

The rapid recovery of people's livelihood has rejuvenated Edo, and the lights at night have increased.

In Edo, the group with the most consumption capacity and motivation for consumption is naturally a large number of workers with wages available every day.

As night fell, countless businesses were ready to wait for the workers to go to the store and make a good profit.

Facts have proved that civil engineering operations can indeed effectively drive the local economy.

After a busy day, the hard-working workers finally received the rewards they deserved.

Some workers immediately return to their residence after getting the money, fearing that staying outside for too long will be affected by Edo's sensuality, and will breed the urge to spend money and indulge in the urge to indulge in money.

Most of these people who work hard to save money are from strangers from other places. They come to Edo to work in order to save more money and take it back to their hometown.

If some people save money carefully, they will naturally spend money with great effort.

In fact, this kind of workers who are strong willpower and who can save all their money without spending a copper coin are only a few.

Most workers can’t wait to spend money as soon as they get the money.

Some people have fully utilized the characteristics of "Edo has no overnight money". They will never go home to sleep without spending all their money.

Or go into a casino and have fun, either double the money you have on hand, or lose to the point where you even lose your clothes.

Or you can dive into an izakaya and drink it hard. If you don’t help, you will drink a drink or two and use a little alcohol to reward your tired body.

Or jump on the streets hungryly to find a nightingale with a good appearance and a suitable price.

Some workers have a very good understanding of Edo's "nightlife". They disdained the Nightingale and went straight to the residence hall with Mimori's daughter or Yang Gong shop specializing in "side-in business".

[Note·Fan Shengnniao:.In terms of name, it is a woman who serves rice and sells rice to guests in the cabin. In fact, it provides sexual services to male passengers coming and going.]

[Note·Yanggong Store: An archery game venue that charges customers a fee, usually hires women to pick up the arrows they shoot and secretly engage in prostitution]

At first glance, they seem to be indulging in pleasure, but in fact it is not.

Their work is really hard, and it will be difficult to persevere if they don’t try to gain some comfort.

As both a producer and a consumer... These workers have indeed made indelible contributions to the reconstruction of Edo.

In any case, thanks to the hard work of the workers, Edo at night is no longer as dead as before.

...

...

Just at this moment when Aodo and Katsurara Taro had a secret meeting in Mionomaru Edo Castle, a street in the eastern suburbs of Edo was particularly lively.

Looking up, I saw dozens of nightingales of different ages standing on the streets on both sides, posing in a pose, and showing their charm to the men who came to seek pleasure.

This street is both long and wide, and is adjacent to 4 large construction sites, so countless workers pass by this place every night.

Having such superior "location conditions" naturally attracted a large number of nightingales, which in turn promoted the long-term development of "special transactions".

The men walked back and forth along the street, looking for their favorite targets as if they were selecting products.

"How much?"

"50-civilian copper coins."

"50-cent copper coins? It's too expensive!"

"If you think it's expensive, go find someone else. Have you seen my white and tender skin? Tofu is not as tender as my skin. I only charge you 50 coins, which is already a bargain."

"Well...be less, 30-text copper wire!"

"30-month copper coins can't afford to even 2 bowls of '28 buckwheat'. 45-month copper coins."

[Note: Edo's soba noodles are usually sold for 16 min. copper coins, so they are commonly called "28 buckwheat"]

"Um...40-liter copper coins!"

"Tsk... OK, deal. Come with me."

After saying that, Nightingale leaned over, held the customer's arm, and walked slowly to the alley not far away.

Similar conversations and similar scenes appear on this street from time to time.

At this time, another young man walked into the street.

Judging from his appearance, he should be a worker at a nearby construction site.

As soon as he arrived here, he looked around impatiently, his eyes sliding across the nightingale's faces.

Soon, he fixed his eyes and looked straight at a girl not far away.

The other party is very young, about 18 years old, with fair skin, pretty facial features and pretty appearance.

Nightingale of this level is undoubtedly a hot item.

Sure enough, just as the man looked at the girl, someone pestered the girl and asked about the price.

The girl opened her red lips lightly and quoted a price.

In an instant, the other party changed his expression and looked surprised.

It is not difficult to see that the price the girl quoted is far beyond the limit he can bear.

After a while, he recovered and said something quickly, as if he was lowering the price.

He was very enthusiastic, his eyes looked at the girl up and down like fire, and he tried to negotiate unyieldingly.

What if the girl's attitude was always cold. No matter what the other person said, she just shook her head gently.

After a moment, the other party shook his hand and walked away with disgust.

Before leaving, he did not forget to spit in front of the girl.

Judging from their expressions and behaviors, the negotiations between them were not pleasant.

The man took the opportunity to step forward, took a few steps, and came to the girl.

"How much?"

The girl looked up at the other person and said:

"120 cents."

As long as you understand the average quotation level of the Nightingales, it is not difficult to understand why the person showed a shocked expression just now.

Admittedly, this is not a big money.

But in the "Nightingale Market", this price is not cheap!

Anyone who comes to find the Nightingale is a poor person who cannot afford Yoshihara and Okamura.

【Note ·Okayama Place: Private Cluster】

The price they can accept is at most 5,60 cents.

120 cents... If you have so much money, why not go to the Okaku premises directly?

At least the hillside venues can also provide beds or tatamis, so they will not work in the alleys.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this offer, the man did not show a look of surprise, but just shook his head:

"120 cents? Is it too cheap for such a beautiful woman like you, but you only have 120 cents?"

Not only did he not think it was expensive, but he also felt it was cheap... If others heard the man's words, they would be afraid that he would sneer at his stupidity.

The girl glanced at the man deeply and said:

"It's okay to have 120 coins, and the price will not increase or decrease."

"Whatever you want."

After ending this series of unknown dialogues, the men and women walked together to the alley not far away.

As soon as they entered the alley, they looked around with a vigilant look, beware of the partition walls.

After confirming that there was no one around, the girl stood on tiptoe, put her lips close to the other person's ear, pressed her voice and whispered to the man:

"Tomorrow morning, gather in Sanchome."

After hearing this, the man nodded vigorously with a serious expression.

Instead of leaving immediately, they stood and waited for a while.

It took about 3 minutes before they walked out of the alley - before leaving, they did not forget to mess up their clothes slightly.

The man left without looking back.

The girl stood back to her position.

Not long after, another young man came to the girl.

"How much?"

"120 cents."

"120 cents? Is it too cheap for such a beautiful woman like you, but you only have 120 cents?"

"It's okay to have 120 coins, and the price will not increase or decrease."

"Whatever you want."
