About This Novel
The area where the old street is located is called Nancheng. In the early years, the so-called Nancheng in Beijing was also called the Outer City. The east and west cities in the inner city are inhabited by people of status and respectability. It is said that at that time, most of the residences of princes and nobles were located in the West City, and wealthy businessmen mostly lived in the East City; in the South City, it was the territory of ordinary people. Small businessmen, hawkers, actors and actresses, as well as escorts and porters, all gather here. The old street is located at the junction of the inner and outer cities and has always been the liveliest and most prosperous place. At the northern end of the old street, there is Yueshengzhai, which has been famous for hundreds of years. Legend has it that the Queen Mother's favorite food was Yueshengzhai's sauced beef. Every New Year, Yueshengzhai would send dozens of boxes of sauced beef to the palace as tribute. Walking south, you arrive at Dashilan, an old commercial district in Beijing that is famous both at home and abroad. No matter how famous Wangfujing Xidan is, no matter how luxurious Set Yansha is, people in old Beijing still have a soft spot for Dashilar.
