Chapter 64: Prepare Early

In addition to the people who came back after watching the White Snake in Wangjiang Tower, there is also a third type of people, that is, people who continue to chat and drink tea here after watching the show and wait for the dinner to begin, and there are not a few, the big family of the Yu family is, anyway, it is the uncle's industry, and there is no problem of paying the bill.

Sun Xiangfu found Yu Xiu'er in the private room of the Yu family, and after the performance, Yu Xiu'er, who was more excited, made a big face in front of her mother's family, and explained some interesting things in this opera, as well as some inexplicable things, which amazed the Yu family.

"Xiu'er, there are too many guests downstairs, let's do it all over again!" Sun Xiangfu's proposal was immediately cheered and supported by the Yu family, so the two quickly went backstage to put on makeup and change clothes.

"I really didn't expect that I would still be an actor." Sun Xiangfu and Yu Xiu'er sat side by side in front of the bronze mirror, letting the makeup staff fiddle with their heads, and said with some embarrassment.

In fact, he also feels good about himself, if in the later generations, the performance of any second- or third-tier actor can also blow his performance full of mistakes into slag, but the appreciation level of people in this era is not high enough! Even if Sun Xiangfu's performance is exaggerated and sparse, everyone doesn't feel that it is too disobedient, at least after more than a dozen rehearsals, these people who show their faces on the stage have made what they should do according to the things in the script.

"The husband is born with this 'actor', but the concubine has learned a lot from the husband, and she is also an actor."

The word actor has not appeared in this era, but when Sun Xiangfu said this, Yu Xiuer felt that it was appropriate, and the title of actor was much taller than that of the actor.

"We should pay more attention to some eye contact and change, and every time you cast a spell, you should design a fixed gesture, such as this is 'change', turning around is 'taking off', and when you are invisible, you can directly make the orchid finger on your chest and fold it, so that the audience will ······understand it better." Sun Xiangfu made a few classic spell casting actions of Bai Suzhen in later TV dramas.

Soon, the dinner began, and the stage became lively again, and after being recognized by thousands of audiences, the entire performance team became more tacit, and Sun Xiangfu and his family, who had a deeper understanding of the performance and more design, were more engaged in the performance and more handy, so the excitement of the show was even much more than noon, so it won full applause, and even the rich threw a lot of money on the spot and asked them to perform again, but Sun Xiangfu refused.

The actors need to rest, will not become someone's dolls, Wangjianglou's reward system will be launched tomorrow, you can send flowers or flower baskets, each bouquet costs the same money, each flower basket five dollars, the actor who receives the flowers will thank the guest officer who sent the flowers during the interval between the scenes, or after the whole performance, for the guest officer who rewarded more to sing one or two more songs, that's all.

As the last scene fell in the reluctant eyes of the audience, the evening performance was also over, and the guests who checked out and walked out of the Wangjiang Tower found that there were already stars outside, and they had forgotten the hour.

But there is a privileged class at any time, such as Dugumou and Princess Pingkang, they can easily call the door of the fang, when they see them at the door of the restaurant on their own frame, many people who live with them will follow, as well as Chai Shao, Duan Zhixuan, the eldest grandson Shunde and several other princes are also the same, just like that, the crowd in front of the Wangjiang Tower will disperse about half after a while, however, there are more than 1,000 people who dare not go, although they have the money to spend in the Wangjiang Tower, but there are no high-ranking officials at home, He did not live in the same square as the nobles, and walked on the streets at night, if he was caught by Wuhou, he would be arrested and squatted in a cell for a few days.

"Ladies and gentlemen, at this time the door has been locked, it is inconvenient to return home, I have a lot of guest rooms in Wangjiang Tower, open today, give you a 20% discount, comfortable and not expensive, why not stay here, and it is not too late to return early tomorrow morning."

The task of the female counselor at the door came, this is a good opportunity to open the market for the housekeeping department, after a while, many people began to ask the price, after learning that the room fee for a night is only a few hundred dollars, they began to check in, and with these counselors went to the housekeeping department on the fourth and fifth floors to register.

After a while, as the waiter upstairs brought the news that the number of guest rooms was getting smaller and smaller, these guests at the door began to panic and asked to stay.

"Hey, this room is so warm."

After the two young couples who looked moderately well-dressed walked into a thirty-square-meter guest room under the guidance of the waiter, they suddenly felt warmer on their bodies, and they were actually warmer than when they were in the hall before.

"Hehe, there is a warm air channel in the guest room of our hotel, warm as summer, and there is also a hot shower, please see, you twist the hot water ring of this bathroom, there will be hot water coming out of the shower head on the top, and the water will flow out of the bedpan by itself, after Gong, as long as you pull the rope next to it, there will be water to rinse the bedpan, there will be no smell, there are soaphorns for bathing and green salt for gargling on the sink, and the iron kettle on the table can be placed at the warm air outlet to ensure that the water is warm, if you drink it, you can take it to the front desk to add water."

The waiter kindly explained to the young couple.

In fact, the so-called warm air outlet, is to build an empty cylinder-shaped exterior wall with cement when building, and Wangjiang Building has a basement, Sun Xiangfu, as a university graduate student, naturally knows the truth of hot air rising, so, all night, there will be employees in the basement to constantly add firewood to the fireplace, and the heat will rise through the cement cavity and flow into the guest room.

And the reason why there is hot water, is also because there are people on the top floor who are constantly burning with fire, the water tank on the top floor is iron, as long as the fire is burned at the bottom, the water will become hot, and at the same time someone constantly adds cold water to the water tank to ensure that the water in the tank is in a warm state, and the people in the guest room open the water valve, and the water that comes out is naturally warm water.

However, because the drainage system is not easy to do, Sun Xiangfu only designed the position of the bedpan in the bathroom to be the lowest to let the water flow away, and the conditions of the entire guest room, in addition to the comfort of the bed, are really not as good as the self-operated small hotels of dozens of yuan a night in later generations, but in this era, it is high-end.

Sun Xiangfu didn't care about watching Chun Tao at the counter and settling accounts, and took the Yu family back to his backyard to live, the rooms in the backyard of Sun's house are actually the most, because Sun Xiangfu has only one woman and no children, so they are basically vacant, and now the front yard and the middle courtyard are full of waiters and actors on the stage, and these relatives of the Yu family have to arrange to live in the backyard.

"Virtuous son-in-law, Grandpa asked me to remind you that tomorrow morning, I'm afraid someone will talk about your Drunken Immortal Tower, and tell you to prepare early."

Sun Xiangfu personally sent Yu Chang and his wife into a small courtyard near the main house, and saw Yu Chang looking at him with a straight face.

"Court?"

Sun Xiangfu was stunned when he heard this.

"Well, there are some words, your grandfather is not good to tell you personally, but your grandfather has been an official in the court over the years, and he has seen a lot of things, he said, from the Sui to the Tang Dynasty, he has never touched the interests of the family, and he has not been impeached by those civil officials.

Sun Xiangfu was naturally grateful for Yu Shinan's reminder and concern, and thanked Yu Chang for his salute and exited the room.

Sun Xiangfu can be said to have no foundation in the court, the few people he interacted with were just Qin Qiong, Dugumou, these generals who had no say in political affairs, if those family members mobilized civil officials in the court to deal with him, he really only had to be beaten passively, thinking of this problem, the good mood of the successful performance suddenly disappeared, and unconsciously, he paced to the middle courtyard.

"Young master, you haven't slept yet! I'll tell you about it early tomorrow morning! ”

"What's the matter, Uncle De?" Sun Xiangfu was distracted, and when he heard Uncle De's voice, he looked up at him and said.

"Shi Dalang is back, and he is eating in the kitchen!" Uncle De replied.

"Well, I'll go see him." After Sun Xiangfu brought Shi Dalang from Xingfu Village to Chang'an, he gave him a task to check the terrain of three hundred miles around Chang'an, and find out a place suitable for damming and building fishing grounds like Xingfu Village.

"Village Chief, I'm back."

Shi Bao, who was holding a big bowl hula hula and eating noodles, saw Sun Xiangfu pacing into the kitchen, his face suddenly showed a happy color, and before he could speak, Sun Xiangfu guessed that he should have good news to tell him.

"Well, I've suffered a lot outside these days! I have chilblains on my face, so I don't know if I can go out to work when the sun comes out and the weather is warm! Sun Xiangfu looked at Shi Bao's frozen blue and purple face, and said with some distress.

"My mother said, you are the benefactor of our whole family, and the things you assign are to risk your life, and I will do it for you." Shi Bao said with a chest that was getting thicker and thicker.

"Well, knowing what you kid is capable of, sit down, continue to eat, and tell me when you're done, you've found a few good places." Sun Xiangfu patted him on the shoulder, pressed him to the bench and sat down.

"Hehe, there are not only a few good places, if you count according to the size of our fishing grounds, there are at least a dozen fishing grounds that can be easily built, and there are also a few large places, but I am afraid that there will be too much manpower needed, and I am not sure."

Shi Bao brought Sun Xiangfu is really good news, there are only two snows this winter, and it is not big, there will be a drought next year, this is a fact that a graduate student of an agricultural university can guess with his eyes closed, how to make the drought less harmful to this young country, building a reservoir to store a large amount of water is a way, which can not only alleviate the drought, but also expand the management scope and output of his fisheries department.

Therefore, after learning that Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong had captured seventy or eighty thousand Turkic soldiers this time, Sun Xiangfu immediately sent Shi Bao out to inspect the terrain, perhaps, even if those courtiers didn't trouble him tomorrow, he should go to the imperial city.

"Well, you did a good job, you helped me a lot, in the future, don't say anything about risking your life to go out, my name is Xiangfu, you follow me, you will definitely be happy." Sun Xiangfu smiled with relief.
