Chapter 023: A Surprised Decision
Daozi accompanied Jiayi to hang out, or look at the seller of cloth and silk, or look at the seller of rouge gouache, or look at the seller of red string jewelry and the like...... Although I mostly saw it on the way, I did buy a lot of things.
The family members of the Wu Mansion watched Daozi spend money lavishly, and their hearts were dripping blood for their master: Master, aren't you a little young master born after doing good deeds and accumulating blessings? However, why is the little young master so demonic?
It's no wonder that these people think so, after all, this era advocates a thrifty style, and it has nothing to do with how much wealth you have. But Daozi's behavior is completely unrelated to diligence and thrift.
Daozi's shopping is not a mess, he has his own plans, today's encounter in Dongnanqing has stimulated him, he is thinking that his family should also get a teahouse with theatrical performances. Otherwise, the title of the Wu family's Taibancheng will be in vain.
It's just hard to find such a place on both sides of Upper River Street. The location should be elegant and quiet, and the place should be big enough. Daozi looked left and right, and kept shaking his head.
In the end, everyone stopped at a food store where people came and went, and business was very prosperous. When the little witch saw Daozi looking at the grain store, she wondered in her heart: What is there to do here?
The shopkeeper who was directing the coolies to unload the grain inadvertently saw Daozi and his party, and was surprised, and then hurriedly trotted to Daozi to ask him how he came.
Daozi knows this shopkeeper, and he is one of the four shopkeepers of the Wu family's grain shop, and his status in the Wu Mansion is not low. Seeing the shopkeeper Daozi responded with a smile, and then inspected the grain shop on the upper and lower floors under the leadership of the shopkeeper.
The hall of the grain shop is large and wide, and there are piles of fine grain from all over the world. Daozi swept the hall and felt that if the stage was placed and the tables, chairs and benches were placed on the left and right, it should be able to place about twenty tables, and twenty tables would be the capacity of forty to eighty people. If you add standing, the capacity should be no problem at about 100 people.
On the second floor, Daozi looked at it and thought that it should be no problem to be divided into seven or eight rooms. Walking to the warehouse behind the grain store, Daozi took a look, and thought that it would not be a big problem to transform it into an open-air stage, but the small house over there would be transformed into a kitchen.
The shopkeeper of the grain shop looked at Daozi left and right and nodded from time to time, wondering what his little young master was thinking. The little witch Jiayi was also puzzled and stared at Daozi.
"Young Master Ben has decided, this grain shop is closed, and it will be changed to a theater, and the name will be the Wu Family Grand Theater" After Daozi walked out of the grain shop, he looked at the group of people from the Wu family in front of him, and said with confidence.
Everyone was shocked and stupid when they heard this, the grain shop was closed? Converted into a theater? What is a theater?
The little witch Jiayi reacted and applauded, although he didn't know what a theater was, but he knew that it must be a lively and fun place.
Six or seven also applauded on the side, but he didn't know why he applauded, anyway, he just felt like he wanted to applaud.
The shopkeeper of the grain shop was about to cry, although he didn't know what a theater was, but it would be a pity if such a profitable grain shop was closed. The shopkeeper had tears in his eyes and persuaded Daozi, the young owner, to take back his life.
The shopkeeper is afraid, if this little young master makes a fool of himself, the probability of this grain shop being closed is 100%, after all, the owner spoils him too much, and he will not go against his will at all.
Daozi didn't listen to the persuasion of the grain shop shopkeeper at all: nonsense, where is the grain shop not open? If other shops can't hold so much food, wouldn't it be good to rent and buy a few more shops?
Anyway, Daozi's determination to open a grand theater has been made, and even nine cows can't pull it back. Of course, in order to appease the shopkeeper of the grain store, Daozi said that his annual salary was going to rise. As for how much it will rise, Daozi did not say.
Only then did the shopkeeper wipe away his tears and stood silently aside, waiting for the dispatch of Daozi.
The young master of the Wu family was going to close the Wu family's largest grain shop in Taicang Mansion, and the news of the construction of the Grand Theater soon spread throughout Taicang Mansion.
"Did you hear that?"
"What?"
"Oh, brother, you really haven't heard of it! The little young master of the Wu family, Xiao Xuan, wants to close the Wu family's grain shop and build a big theater."
"Close the grain shop? The Wu family is crazy, right? How profitable the grain shop business is! ”
"Who's to say it isn't?"
"Hey, by the way, what is the Grand Theater?"
"I don't know, but some people say that it may be similar to the teahouse with Dongnanqing, anyway, it is a place to listen to music or books"
"Oh......"
There was no overnight news in Taicang Mansion, and the people who witnessed Daozi's humiliation in the Southeast Green Tea House that day were shocked and their facial muscles trembled, and they said that the little master of the Wu family is too resentful, right?
It's just that the Wu family opened a teahouse, oh no, the Grand Theater, what? Will they be able to drive it?
It seems that the long-quiet Taicang Mansion is finally lively to see!
The eyes of the people who eat melons are burning, and the lively emotions are filled with the entire Taicang Mansion for a while.
The Ma family, in the luxurious side hall.
Ma Wencai was wiping the wound on his face with a bone-setting potion for his beloved son Ma Yifei, and when he heard the news, he was stunned at first, then frowned, and finally didn't say anything.
But his son Ma Yifei couldn't help it, he jumped up on the spot and shouted: I want to take someone to smash the theater of the Wu family.
Seeing his son like this, Marven slapped the table and said angrily: "Yifei, you are the future master, how can you be like a ruffian?" ”
"If you want to get angry, give your father a long face to the Ma family at Wang Shizhen's apprenticeship meeting, that's the best way to get angry!"
Ma Yifei was reprimanded by his father like this, bowed his head and was silent, but he became more and more determined in his heart to win the first place in Wang Shizhen's apprenticeship meeting.
Ma Wencai saw that his words had an effect, his words turned to warmth, and gently wiped Ma Yifei's wound: "Yifei, this teahouse of his Wu family, oh theater, can't be opened, because the famous music troupe and wrist in Taicang Mansion are under the door of our house." ”
Although Ma Wencai didn't know why Daozi gave the teahouse the strange name of the theater, he thought that the content of the theater's performance was nothing more than singing, juggling, rapping, etc., which was no different from his own teahouse.
Ma Yifei's eyes lit up after listening to his father's words, and now he finally understood why his father was so calm after hearing the news that the Wu family was going to open a "teahouse", it turned out that his father had already calculated!
Also, the people of Taicang Mansion are used to listening to music and books, and the famous artists who sing Taicang tunes are all people who have signed a contract with the Ma family for a long time, even if the Wu family opens a teahouse, they can't invite a famous person, and the tea house without a famous family is a dead teahouse, a thing that loses money, and a bottomless pit.
Ma Yifei seemed to have seen Daozi crying miserably after losing money at this time.
Ma Wencai also sneered in his heart at this time: Wu beggar, you, Lao Tzu can't do anything about you. But your son was born well! It seems that even if I don't do anything to get my hands on your Wu family, your Wu family will be ruined in the hands of this little gentleman. Interesting, interesting, haha......
