The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival in Song Dynasty is a famous painting by Zhang Ban, and it is also a diet picture in Song Dynasty. There are more than 100 houses in the painting, nearly half of which are restaurants. There are several interesting details hidden in it. Zooming in, it was the delivery service of the takeaway brother at that time.
In ancient times, it was necessary to order takeout. Unlike today, you can order food on your mobile phone. It is usually carried out in three ways: purchase, door-to-door sales and agreed delivery. "Call by the hour", the restaurant sends someone to the door, and it is also cash on delivery. If you are a frequent visitor, you can spend the night at your house and the waiter will pick it up the next day.
In ancient times, the deliveryman was called "idle man" instead of "takeaway brother". It reflects that there was no full-time food delivery staff at that time and the hotel business was busy. Looking for a few "idle men" to earn the difference, compared with today's courier brother driving a moped to walk in the driveway, it can be described as a heaven and an underground.
