Chapter 29 tastes good
At this time, it is still early, the Oiran competition has been carried out for more than half of the time, today to decide the four leaders, naturally no longer as pressed as before, the competition will not start until the evening, and tonight is not just relying on the live visitors to send flowers to decide whether to advance, Xiao Ming and the other four judges will be on the field tonight, who can stand out and become the head of the four lines, must be selected by the judges.
In the ordinary small building in the capital, Dong Xiaowan was washing and dressing up, but her little face was tense and a little nervous.
Liu Ruyi stood aside, constantly whispering to her and helping her comb her hair. Dong Xiaowan was successfully promoted yesterday, and tonight the four leaders were decided from twelve people, and Dong Xiaowan naturally needed to perform on stage.
It stands to reason that Dong Xiaowan's entertainment in the past few days should be quite a lot, after all, she needs to deal with many talented people and wealthy businessmen who come to admire her, of course, these two are okay, I am afraid that if she encounters any unrefined officials and eunuchs, and the descendants of the nobles, then she can only compromise and intend to protect herself!
It is not uncommon for a woman to be directly forcibly married by the powerful. And if you meet a lot of people who are not interested in sex and are forcibly plundered, don't look at their fame and popularity, but in the end they are only vulnerable groups.
Dong Xiaowan, who has a high and arrogant personality, is not willing to do such things. Although she said that she was in the dust, she always refused to let go of her face, and because she came by herself, there was no Qinglou behind her to operate this matter for her, and Liu Ru would not be willing for Dong Xiaowan to do such a thing, so no one would force her.
"Sister Liu is fine tonight, it's still a long time, I'm so tired these days, and the pressure is still so great, if I don't eat, my body collapses, what can I do if I faint on stage, even if I get through it, but if you are hungry Xiaowan, how distressed you will be then!" Dong Xiaowan had something wrapped in her mouth, and she wanted to reach into the fruit bowl to grab the fruit honey money. was slapped down by Liu Ru.
"I can't eat anymore, you're going to perform on stage, it's not okay to eat too much."
"Okay!" Dong Xiaowan swallowed the preserved fruit in her mouth and thought about drinking water.
"You can't drink too much water! You're in eighth place, you'll have to wait a long time in the background! ”
Dong Xiaowan cried with a sad face: "Please, Sister Liu, ah no!" Brother Liu, my good brother, let me take a sip! ”
"Okay, just take a sip." Liu Ru shook her head with a wry smile, she couldn't consume her.
Liu Ru is dressed in a plain robe today, and her long hair is also tied up by her. even brought a scarf, coupled with her beautiful face, at first glance it is normal to be regarded as a beautiful man.
Liu Ru is very good at makeup performances, but unfortunately even if she uses it on her chest, the cloth strip is tightly wrapped, but it still looks a little prominent.
But of course she won't perform on stage, but will just send Dong Xiaowan to go, and then watch the performance offstage and cheer for her. Keep a low profile, but you're not afraid of attracting the attention of others. These days have passed, and no one has recognized her identity.
"Sister Liu, did you find any outstanding talents in the audience this time?"
"The people of the capital are outstanding and heroic, of course there are talents who can get into the eye, but it's a pity that I looked for Miss Lin and couldn't see it, I think it is also that Miss Lin must have a lot of affairs, and how can I wander around the square like me!" Liu Ruyi came to see Wu Ruyi, but unfortunately he couldn't meet him a few days ago, and he was quite disappointed.
Dong Xiaowan hurriedly persuaded her to come up with an idea, "Otherwise, sister, report your name." ”
"It's not right, I just sent you here to participate in the Oiran Competition, and I don't want others to know that I'm here, if I can't meet this time, then I have no chance with her, why force it!" Liu Ru refused lightly.
Dong Xiaowan also knew her thoughts, although Liu Ru was the head of Qin Huai Bayan, it was because of her own outstanding talent and was sought after by everyone. As for Liu Ru himself, he doesn't care about fame.
"Okay, don't miss the hour, let's go." Liu Ru put down the comb, stood in front of Dong Xiaowan and looked at it carefully, and said with satisfaction.
……
At this moment, it happened to be a meal, and most people would come after eating, just taking advantage of the small number of people, Yang Su and Wang Chengen were wandering in the square.
If you want to enter the villa to watch the performance, it is actually very simple, you have to buy ten flowers to enter the villa, that is, you will receive a ticket of ten taels of silver, and then see which girl in the villa likes to perform, and send flowers to whomever you want.
Although this is the capital where the powerful gather, and the Oiran Contest is an eye-catching event, the ten taels of silver for the ticket alone is a lot of money for the medium-sized family, just like Grandma Liu got a reward of 20 taels of silver when she entered the Grand View Garden, and they were overjoyed.
But Grandma Liu is also a medium-sized family that can hire maids at home. But the ticket price was set by Wu Ruyi, and Yang Shu naturally would not oppose her in this regard.
Things are really as Wu unexpectedly, the number of people entering the villa every day is as many as 10,000, which is already the limit of what the villa can receive, and the people waiting outside the villa to watch the excitement, and the people who came in chariots and horses, together are as many as tens of thousands.
The Ming Dynasty really had a huge gap between the rich and the poor in society to the point where it had to be contained, and the exploited people had become accustomed to enduring these things in the continuous education of the foolish people for thousands of years, and they took it for granted, as long as they could live and have something to eat, they would be easily satisfied!
Being able to eat enough is the most simple wish of ordinary people, but these gentry, who controlled more than 90% of the wealth of the Ming Dynasty, still wanted their lives after taking away the land on which they depended, so they finally killed themselves.
Of course, even if they go in, among these 10,000 people, not all of them are rich people from rich and noble families, and there are also many talented people from ordinary families, of course they can't miss this kind of thing, of course, the real bulk of the income still comes from those rich people!
According to Wu Ruyi's statistics, those hundreds of people contributed as much as tens of thousands of silver every night.
Wu Ruyi not only prepared a variety of drinks and dishes in the square for people to use, but also thousands of waiters were waiting on the side at any time, but he did a lot of work.
This is undoubtedly Yang Su's idea, and it just so happens that Yang Su has not yet had dinner today, so he invited a waiter to prepare various meals for him and Wang Chengen.
Of course, this doesn't cost money, after all, businessmen pay attention to their own reputation these days, and Wu Ruyi also wants to be face-saving, although it is obvious that there is money in the pit, ten taels of silver and a ticket, but other services are very good.
Although these dishes are not made by rare spiritual objects, they are all famous chefs from major cuisines in the capital, and if you want to eat, you can directly follow the instructions of the waiter waiting on the side.
Yang Su thinks that the taste is indeed good, don't think that the food in the palace is delicious, for the emperor's body, the general taste in the palace tends to be light, the imperial dining room will definitely not be too greasy, if it is too greasy, so that the emperor is unwell after eating, then they are guilty, if the emperor is merciful, they can still escape, so there are not many cooks who have been killed.
This is like the same as the imperial doctor, it is not that they are poor, but they have to be like this in the face of the emperor.
It just so happens that Yang Su has a desire for tongue, and sometimes he often eats cold dishes in the palace, because someone has to test the poison before each dish is confirmed, and Yang Su can only eat it after a period of time to confirm that it is correct.
"It tastes good, Cheng'en, sit down and eat with me!" Yang Su beckoned Wang Chengen and said, "This is outside, you don't need to serve, you are so eye-catching!" ”
Share a joke that 14 people were crammed into a van. A passenger in the car said: You are overloaded, and you will be deducted a lot of points if you are caught! The driver turned around and sneered calmly: deduct points, then you have to have a driver's license! Suddenly, countless gasping voices filled the carriage... Another passenger asked: Do you dare to drive without a driver's license? The driver said: It's okay, the wine strengthens people's courage, and I drank a pound and two pots at noon, what am I afraid of! Suddenly, only the breathing of the passengers could be heard. Then another passenger said: Why don't you take a driver's license? Driver: I have myopia of more than 2,000 degrees, and my right leg is still a prosthesis. The whole car was silent. At this time, a passenger shouted: Stop! I'm going down! Driver: Stop, the brakes are broken! Hurry up and grab the handrails and go down the big slope.
