'Is there anything you want me to do?' Li Chen looked at this maid with a smile, he recognized her, knew who she was, and knew why he was looking for him.

'Whew, that's right. The little maid sighed before continuing, "I, I... I...' the maid stammered a little, 'I want some mahjong pairs.' ''You want mahjong?'' What do you want mahjong for? You can't just give it to people. I don't even know who you are. Li Chen lied, he was joking, he had already recognized who this little confused maid was.

'I, I... I am Zheng Duzhi's maid, and I know that she wants me to find two mahjong pairs in the east. The little maid remembered that she hadn't even reported her identity, so she hurriedly reported, "You are a maid who knows Zheng Du, how do I know that you are, I don't even know your name." ''My name is White Rabbit. I'm really a maid of Zheng Duzhi. The White Rabbit maid hurriedly shouted, "I really know that they want me to come." ’

'Okay, okay, don't worry, just give it to you. Li Chen stopped teasing people, and gave him a note and asked him to go to the grocery store, where there was stock. Well? Then Zheng Duzhi just went to the grocery store to buy it? Of course, it's because it's not on sale yet.

Mahjong, I don't know that this Chinese quintessence is very little, and the gameplay is also different because of different places, there are different rules. And when will it appear? This is also unexaminable, it is generally believed that it was after the Ming Dynasty, and I don't know how it became popular.

The origin of mahjong, Li Chen has heard a lot of sayings, some people say that it was invented by Zheng He when he went to the West, and there was also the invention of the Cao Gang in the Ming Dynasty, because there is a lot of wind in the card, and there is a blank slate on behalf of the sail. It is said that it originated from the horse hanging, which is a card game.

Li Chen doesn't care, no matter what your origin is, anyway, there was no such thing in the Tang Dynasty, that is, I invented it. In the future, if you have money, you must get a history book by yourself and write the origin of mahjong into it, so as not to have those historians who are there to study the evidence.

And now, making money is the most important thing. The reason why Li Chen did not rush to promote it was because of the doctrine of making money.

This Zheng Duzhi stared very closely. Li Chen smiled as he walked. This Zheng Duzhi suddenly came to Li Chen to ask for a deputy mahjong, naturally there was a reason.

Li Chen asked Yang Er to help him promote it, because she was familiar, talked and laughed, and had no white contacts. Let her promote mahjong tiles by the way when greeting guests, and promote them to dignitaries. Li Chen believes that even if mahjong is launched thousands of years in advance, it will be popularized soon.

However, when it is promoted, what money does he make? It will definitely be imitated soon, and seeing that the demand is large, there will definitely be many craftsmen imitating it, patent rights? Not to mention the Tang Dynasty, I didn't even attach importance to the republic more than a thousand years later. Copyright is difficult to enforce in China.

In that case, let's make a fortune first. Get a beautiful pair of mahjong, and then sell it to those rich people at a high price, and sell him a pair for dozens of times, and there is no way to collect royalties, so I can collect something to make up for it. When he is imitated by others, it shouldn't be a problem to earn him a thousand times.

Li Chen walked to the last goal, which is still a theater, and today's theater is performing the story of the West Chamber.

Li Chen walked into the theater and took a look, Yo He, there are a lot of people, and most of them are women, not bad. It seems that the Legend of the West Chamber can be accepted by the Tang people, especially the Tang women.

'The owner. Seeing Li Chen coming, the theater manager hurriedly came over to greet him, "There are a lot of people." Was there a lot of people in the morning? ''Not so many, more people in the afternoon, I believe there will be more in the evening.'' ''Oh? How to say. ''You don't know, the morning show is only 1./3 now, and when it ends, the audience goes back to call friends, one pulls two or three, and there are so many people in the afternoon, and in the evening, maybe there will be more. ’

'This West Chamber, will it be red or fiery. The steward smiled happily, and the income of the theater was also linked to the steward's monthly salary, which was inevitable.

'I'm watching, you go get busy.' Li Chen asked the steward to go busy with his own affairs, found a place to sit down, and looked at the West Chamber.

Although he wrote it himself, how to perform it still depends on the individual, Yun Qing performed well, and it was in vain that he spent dozens of times to buy it. In fact, not only Yunqing, but all the staff of the West Chamber are bought slaves, and they are easy to train when they are bought. He spent more than 200 times on this whole West Chamber, from the male and female leading actors, to the musicians and other supporting roles, all of which were bought as slaves. More than two hundred, the cost is less, these skilled slaves, the price is not cheap.

'I always feel that it's a little worse, forget it, don't care', Li Chen rubbed his chin. In fact, he is not very familiar with opera, he has watched a lot of movies, but there are few traditional dramas. For the West Chamber, he always feels that it is not as good as those dramas he watches in modern times, whether it is charm, singing, or positioning, it feels very similar to a drama performed in school.

That's it, recruit more people in the future, spread this art performance, and let future generations improve it." This should be enough, relying on the novel content and performance methods, it should be able to attract enough customers and make enough money. As for the development of opera, let professionals like Yang Er carry it out.

'Eat and go, eat and go. Eat the emperor great. Li Chen patted his stomach and moved forward in the crowd. The corridor can make two carriages run side by side, and now it is crowded with people, more than in the morning, many people who have gone to work, help the old and the young to come and see a fresh, and the corridor is full, fortunately, Li Chen's movement line is well planned, and the people are many but move forward in an orderly manner, and they will not hinder each other.

'Boss Wei, Wei Dongjia, the flow of people is like weaving, business is booming, congratulations. ''Rejoice and rejoice. A fat man who is white and fat, Li Chen said hello to him, and he also returned the gift, this person is the boss of this Jiawei family food shop, this person looks like selling food, white and fat like a steamed bun.

'I'm hungry, I'm hungry, I'm just right, there's no place. 'Yes, you're coming, and if you don't have a place, I'll make room for you, please.' After sitting down, Boss Wei greeted the doctor, gave Li Chen as much as possible some Wei family's specialty dishes, then said goodbye and went back to get busy.

What are some of the best dishes? Li Chen made a special trip to try it, this Wei family restaurant is also famous in Pengcheng, and Li Chen often goes to eat, and the taste is really good.

First of all, red rodin and xiao tianshu are served, red rodin is a cold dish made of cream and blood clots, Li Chen saw this, he was very surprised, cream has been available for a long time, but I didn't expect that Li can also eat it here, it seems that he can have more bread. "Xiao Tian Crisp", this is a dim sum mixed with venison, chicken, and rice grits, which is delicious and filling.

Then the doctor quickly served the staple food, a bowl of "Royal Yellow Queen Mother Rice". The name is very big, Yu, Huang, Queen Mother, it seems to be a great rice, in fact, it is the rice bowl that we often see in modern times. A large bowl of rice with shredded pork, eggs, and a variety of vegetables on top of it, which is a quick and filling meal.

Of course, a bowl of rice alone was not enough for Li Chen, and the doctor then served a few more snacks. A plate of stuffed fish, which is a whole fish roasted in goat's milk. A plate of soufflé carved called Gyokuro dumplings. Afraid that Li Chen would not have enough to eat, the doctor served a large plate, and the number was at most a plate of vegetarian steaming voices.

What is this? In the Tang Dynasty, people who were related to music, such as singing singers and performing musicians, were all called vocal people. The voice is a collection of these people. Wrap the dough in a variety of vegetable and fruit fillings, then knead it into the shape of a singer and musician, and then take it to steam.

Since it is called a department, the number will not be small, and the complete steam voice part includes singers and musicians of various shapes, and there are 70 of them.

Of course, seventy is used by large families to set up scores, not only to deal with seventy voices, but also to pose in different shapes, and even to color. The Wei family is going to sell it, of course, there are not so many, they are larger, and their appearance is simple. You can buy a few if you want a few.

After eating people, bah, after eating the vegetarian steamed sound part, Li Chen was so satisfied that he patted his stomach and left, not that he wanted to pay the bill, but to hang the account, and settle it at the end of the month.

When I came out after dinner, it was already the beginning of the day, and the crowd had not decreased, only more. In the Tang Dynasty, there was originally a curfew, but in this year, people did not abide by those baths, and there would be a night market in Pengcheng on a fixed day.

After eating enough, Li Chen began to inspect Elysium again, although he had already searched for it, but it just opened today, and he couldn't be too careful. At night, each pillar of the corridor is lit up so that people will not lose sight of the road. If you look down from the height of the Green House and the Red Building, you will find that the night of Elysium is also quite interesting.

Li Chen was eating while patrolling. Every theater is crowded with people, and many people have heard that there is food here, so they come to listen to the play, watch the play, and have dinner at the same time, which fills every theater.

The drums sounded, and the drums rang out in every theater, indicating that Paradise was closed today, and the staff slowly guided the audience out, and then began to be busy and clean up at the end. Soak in water with soap horn to make Tang Dynasty cleaner, and then start to scrub the floor, tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks must be carefully scalded with hot water.

This is what Li Chen attaches the most importance to, a public place, cleanliness is very important, today is the first day, it is very important to establish a good habit, under the leadership of a theater manager, every theater is cleaning, and the dirt caused by today's guests is clean. In Bliss Paradise, the consumption of food and drink is a major profit, and it is especially important to keep it clean.

Li Chen took the lead in cleaning, and the big head and the stupid baby were doing their best to count today's income, but it was better to say that it was a count, it was better to say that the stupid baby said, the big head. At this time, the stupid baby is very shrewd, and he sent coins and cloth to the scene, and he drew a stroke of his hand, even if he knew how much, he remembered and laughed at the same time, and it was really gratifying to get a harvest today.

When they finished counting, Li Chen also took the lead in cleaning the work, and it was almost done. He sent the employees back at the door, said some words of encouragement, and when the employees were gone, he took the children to close the door and lock it, and the hard opening day was over. It's just that while relaxing, Li Chen is a little melancholy, he hasn't seen Xiaohong for several days.
