With the improvement of the system and the development of economy, Kaifeng, as the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, became the largest and most prosperous city in the world at that time. Food is the most important thing for people, and diet is an important part of citizens' life. The prosperity of Kyoto will naturally drive the development of the catering industry. The integration of cities and squares, the establishment of street shops and the operation of businesses have further promoted the prosperity of the catering industry.
The development of tea in Song Dynasty reached a climax. Restaurants and teahouses in Song Dynasty have the communicative functions of banquet, meeting friends and entertainment. They are the eating places frequented by CoCo Lee, a senior official, and are the "two pillars of menu ingredients in Song Dynasty", showing distinctive characteristics.
Kaifeng, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, had a floating population of more than one million in its heyday, which was an amazing number at that time. The growth of population has brought great business opportunities to the development of catering industry. In order to meet the market demand. The bustling big cities are crowded with restaurants and teahouses, large and small. Business in all walks of life is booming, and guests come and go in an endless stream.
From the scale of operation, it can be divided into main house and toe house. Seventy-two households in Jingzheng Hall. The punctuality is our hotel today. It is not only large in scale, prosperous in business and abundant in funds, but also can make its own wine. On the one hand, it can supply our hotel and ensure sufficient supply. On the other hand, it is market-oriented wholesale and retail.
A famous restaurant like this, which can accommodate 1000 people at the same time, records Miss Li, a famous prostitute who once fascinated her soul. During Meng Yuan's "Dream of Tokyo" years, the hotels in the Northern Song Dynasty had: "Alum Building, Houfengle Building and Xuanhe Room, which were three steps high and five steps opposite, each with a flying bridge fence threshold, light and shadow connected, beaded curtains embroidered and lighted by candles."
Compared with punctuality, the foot point is a small and medium-sized hotel, which can't be compared with punctuality in terms of scale, capital and business scope. Their supply is unstable, mostly from the head office. "Alum House can provide 3,000 wine-making shops", so the price of the wine sold is naturally greatly influenced by the market, and its ability to resist business risks is very weak.
On the other hand, the expansion of the foot head office meets the needs of most people and passers-by, and you can enjoy drinking without expensive silver. Foot shops are also graded, including Zhang Xiujia in Anzhou Lane in the west, Li in Baokangmen and Li Jia built by Cao Menbo. According to the Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival, there is a pub called "Wanzupu" south of Hongqiao. Although it is a foot shop, its scale is not small. There is a colorful building towering like a pagoda in front of the shop. Very eye-catching. "10000" means quantity. There is also a poem called "The Debate over Drinking".
Because "Doujiu 10000" represents the delicacy of wine, it can be seen from the name that this hotel is a first-class football product. Small hotels often sell wine from big hotels, and the wine and food provided are not as precious as the main room, so such hotels are very cheap and suitable for ordinary people.
According to different operators, restaurants can be divided into official and private. Lin 'an government-run hotel "government warehouse-household merger inspection station" said that such hotels are operated by Lehe Building, Hefeng Building, Zhonghe Building, Fengchun Building, Taihe Building, West Building, Taiping Building and Fengle Building, and the government can make considerable profits and ensure excess expenditure.
At the same time, "the nuclear cups and plates of wine and vegetables are also transported to the library at will ... Most of them are mainly scholars, and outsiders are easy to climb. It can be seen that these government-run restaurants have gradually become one of the important places for senior officials to enjoy themselves, and their customers are mainly bureaucrats, catering to their needs. There are many private restaurants, which are the main part of the catering industry, including famous hotels and small and medium-sized hotels. Their business autonomy is relatively strong, with a wide range of objects and flexible management methods.
"Teahouses, called teahouses, tea shops, tea houses or teahouses in the Song Dynasty, mainly sell tea and are public places for customers to taste tea and have sex." . Teahouses are also large and small, and small ones are called casual. The big side, the so-called architecture. Small tea shops are very common, and customers of famous tea shops are endless.
Some teahouses are located on the street, some in Wachery, and some consumers are high-end and large-scale, mainly facing the upper class of society. Attach importance to developing more business.
