Chapter 126: Bell and Drum Tower
Seven o'clock in the evening.
Customers who had booked in advance came to the duck shop one after another.
Wang Peng and his group of college students, twenty people came at once, more than when they came to see the rehearsal before.
Originally, they only booked fifteen seats, but this time there were too many people, and the duck shop was not enough for them to sit.
But people came enthusiastically, and Zhao Yan was not good at bombarding people, so he had to temporarily add seats and let them fill all the three largest couch booth areas.
The small café with 40 seats was originally seated by more than 50 customers, and there were still those who didn't come late.
Zhao Yan has been busy entertaining these repeat customers outside, and his heart is full of happy troubles.
She really didn't know how their small restaurant would entertain people if there were many more guests coming later.
In a private room.
Huang Guolun was chatting with Shen Yumeng and Hu Xuefang, who arrived early.
Bai Yao and Zhao Jing were also there.
These four women, according to general aesthetics, can be called beauties.
The so-called flowers bloom in a hundred species, each with its own merits.
The clouds and the moon complement each other.
Huang Guolun's green leaves, lined with four red flowers, look more mature and old.
Zhao Jing and the others all knew that anchor Hu was an important guest this night, so the topic of conversation was mainly focused on Hu Xuefang.
Hu Xuefang heard Shen Yumeng say before, this Teacher Huang is not a simple high school music teacher, his family has a relatively deep background, and he is a low-key second-generation tomb.
Such an identity made Hu Xuefang more respectful and polite to Huang Guolun, and did not have the slightest intention of looking down on Huang Guolun.
Several people met in Pingshui, and Zhao Jing and Shen Yumeng, two girls who can talk about it, took the rhythm, and everyone quickly chatted together.
Through chatting, I learned that this anchor Hu is also a native of Beijing, and he lived in the Drum Tower when he was a child, and he is very close to Bai Yao's family, so he is an old neighbor.
I heard that anchor Hu also lived in the Drum Tower, and Bai Yao, who has never talked much, came to talk and told Hu Xuefang: "Teacher Huang wrote a song before, which tells the story of the Bell and Drum Tower. ”
Hu Xuefang's eyes lit up and asked Huang Guolun: "Teacher Huang, have you also lived here in the Drum Tower?"
Huang Guolun drank throat tea and chatted: "No, I'm from Xidan, but I often come to the Drum Tower with my brother and them to play when I was in school." My brother had a girlfriend when he was in school, and she was from the Drum Tower. ”
Hu Xuefang suddenly asked, "I heard Xiaomeng say, Chinese New Year's Eve you today?"
Huang Guolun took himself to play cymbals: "Thirty-one years old, but it should look like forty-one." ”
Zhao Jing sprinkled salt on Huang Guolun's wound: "You said less, Mr. Huang, look at your old Longzhong's back, and say that you are fifty-one or sixty-one, and it is estimated that some people will believe you." ”
Shen Yumeng slapped Zhao Jing on the arm with a smile: "You are nonsense, Teacher Huang looks like forty at most, how can it be fifty or sixty?"
Huang Guolun's face almost didn't slap on the table, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that I am really old." ”
Hu Xuefang smiled and apologized to Huang Guolun: "I'm sorry, Mr. Huang, I didn't laugh at you." I heard you say that your brother had a girlfriend from our Drum Tower, and I thought, I should be about the same age as your brother, maybe I know the girlfriend he made. I remember when we were in school, there were a few sisters who used to play with the boys from Xidan, maybe it was your brother and them. ”
Huang Guolun said: "The girlfriend my brother made is a Drum Tower vocational high school, you shouldn't be a Drum Tower vocational high school, right?"
"Oh, that's probably not the case. We are in No. 1 Middle School, and we are also in the area of Baoqian Hutong, not far from the Drum Tower Vocational High School. You and your brother are going to come here a lot, and we may have seen each other before. ”
"Not really. Huang Guolun thought about the naughty days when he was young, and he got up and asked Hu Xuefang: "Do you like to go ice skating in Shichahai when you go to school?"
Hu Xuefang smiled shyly and said: "This is average, my motor cells are relatively poor, and I skate less." Did you go skating a lot at that time?"
"It's not very often, the winter when my brother and his girlfriend were in love, we went to it more, and when he saw Tian'er, he took us to Houhai, skating with his girlfriend every day, and got tired. My athletic cells are actually average, I skate and fall all the time, and then I stopped skating. While they were skating, I sat next to me and looked at the Bell and Drum Tower in a daze, hehe. These two old buildings have witnessed a lot of history, and they can be regarded as witnessing a small period of youth of our group. ”
"You didn't write the song "Bell and Drum Tower" at that moment, right?" Zhao Jing asked with interest.
"No, I was only in junior high school at the time, and I didn't know how to write songs. However, that experience left a deep impression on me about the Drum Tower. This song "Bell and Drum Tower" was written by me recently. ”
Zhao Jing hadn't heard this song, so she urged: "Teacher Huang, don't just talk about not practicing, sing us this song "Bell and Drum Tower". Xiaobai, is this song particularly good?"
Bai Yao was stunned by Zhao Jing's question, and then said in a trance: "Well, it's very good." ”
Zhao Jing came to the spirit and suggested: "Teacher Huang, let's almost rest, it's already lively outside, just start the music show in advance! You sing this song "Bell and Drum Tower" to Teacher Hu for the first time, you must have a feeling!"
Huang Guolun rubbed his hands and said, "Okay, my hands are itchy like this." Xiaobai, how about we open a special session in advance?"
Bai Yao was still a little distracted, and was stunned for a moment before saying, "Oh, okay, I'll go to the bathroom first." ”
Zhao Jing laughed at Bai Yao: "You won't have stage fright, right?"
Bai Yao hurriedly said: "No, no, I drank a little too much corn soup at night." ”
Huang Guolun helped Bai Yao relax his spirit: "It's okay, I'll sing a few more songs first, and when the field is hot, let's sing it together." ”
Bai Yao nodded in response, got up and went to the bathroom.
On the way there, Bai Yao had a thoughtful expression on her face.
The reason why she was stunned just now was because the conversation between Huang Guolun and Hu Xuefang reminded her of her mother.
Her mother's name is Bai Ying, and she went to school at Gulou Vocational High School.
According to her grandfather, her mother was a runaway girl who gave birth to her at the age of sixteen, and they were later taken in by her grandfather.
After her mother gave birth to her, her body never recovered, and she died not long after. After that, her grandfather brought her up with a handful of and urine.
Bai Yao is very good at mathematics, when she heard Huang Guolun say that when she was in junior high school, she always came to play with his brother in the Drum Tower, she did the math, and it was her mother's stumbling period at that time!
Huang Guokun's girlfriend can't be her mother, right?
Bai Yaote wants to ask Huang Guolun, what was the name of Huang Guokun's girlfriend back then?
But seeing that Huang Guolun is going to open a special session in advance, it is difficult for her to ask these idle questions at this juncture.
I can only bury this puzzle in my heart first, and talk to Huang Guolun when I have a chance in the future.
Coming out of the bathroom, Bai Yao put all the messy thoughts behind her mind and completely threw herself into the state of doing a special show.
She put her chest tall and high, and the zombie avatar on the T-shirt was particularly conspicuous, and from this time on, her every move would be to help advertise "The Good Corpse".
Huang Guolun walked into the café with a guitar here, which immediately caused Wang Peng and his group of college students to cheer!
"Teacher Huang, we've been waiting for you for a long time, and you're finally out, haha!"
"Mr. Huang, we can't wait to hear you sing!"
"Hey, what about Xiaobai, Xiaobai won't come tonight!"
"Teacher Huang, we have brought a few new classmates over, and they all want to be conquered by you!"
"Coax!"
The café suddenly became very lively.
Half of the guests heard Huang Guolun sing for the first time this night, but they had already watched "The Good Corpse" before and were deeply impressed by the music inside. They were eager to get a glimpse of the soundtrack behind the scenes.
Now that they finally see Huang Guolun and listen to the incessant shouting of the group of college students, they are even more looking forward to the singing of this musician known as "Teacher Huang".
Huang Guolun was wearing a black shirt and a white T-shirt from "The Good Corpse", which gave the movie a very eye-catching advertisement in the strong black and white contrast.
Seeing that Zhao Jing was debugging the live broadcast equipment, it seemed that he was going to open the rhythm of the live broadcast room, Huang Guolun put on his sunglasses, and the smile on his face was slightly restrained, after all, it was the first time to do such a personal music show, and he was still a little excited.
Holding the guitar and sitting on the high chair, he adjusted the position of the microphone, and said to the guests in the café in a deep voice: "Thank you friends for coming to SalomeCafe tonight, my student Bai Yao and I, as well as Miss Zhao Jing with headphones over there, will strive to bring you an unforgettable music night, I hope you can enjoy it, and I hope you can come to the restaurant more often in the future." The owner of this restaurant, Ya Ya, is a very kind and lovely young lady, who likes to make friends and watch old movies. There are movie salons every Wednesday afternoon and evening, and those who like movies can come and watch movies with like-minded friends. It is said that in the movie salon held by the owner of the museum, a romantic love story was born. Single friends, be sure to come to the restaurant more often, here, you are likely to meet your significant other. ”
"Hmm~~~~!"
The group of single college students, hearing Huang Guolun say this, all made a noise.
Zhao Yan saw Huang Guolun advertising the duck shop like this, and his heart warmed.
She couldn't stop on her feet, and she and two waiters walked briskly between the café and the back kitchen, constantly serving meals to the guests. Their store is sure to be a record turnover this night.
Zhao Jing opened the live broadcast room here, and made an "OK" gesture to Huang Guolun, signaling that Huang Guolun could start singing directly.
Just opened the live broadcast room, and the audience hasn't come in yet.
This section can be regarded as a benefit dedicated to these guests at the scene.
Huang Guolun glanced at Hu Xuefang, Shen Yumeng and others who were already seated through his sunglasses, and said with a smile: "The first song tonight is dedicated to the Bell and Drum Tower not far away, and also to every friend who has old feelings." Let the bells and drums time, the years ring history, may we all be in the long river of years, do not forget the past, not afraid of the future, not in vain the present. ”
