Shen Long suddenly understood another layer of meaning that Aunt Guo Yan had left herself and Guo Yan here, if she lived in Aunt Guo Yan's house, it would be equivalent to having something to rely on, and their urgency to find a job would drop a lot.

It's like looking for a job when a college student graduates, if you rent a house in an unfamiliar city to find a job, you have to go to the talent market every day to try your luck even if you don't want to, because he has to spend money every day; And if it's at home, then it's not possible, if the family arranges it, it's good to say something, there is no arrangement, and if you are not active, then you may not know when you will rely on it, and even some exaggerated ones will start to gnaw at the old at home.

"Make money? How can you ....... Ming, shouldn't you...... You're not going out to perform, are you? Guo Yan suddenly panicked, she had seen street performers in the squares and underground passages of New York these days, and now when she saw Shen Long going out against the cello, she guessed this immediately.

"Qi Ming, let's not be willful, okay, if you think it's a shame to go to the restaurant to wash the dishes and wash the dishes, then can't I go?" Guo Yan was about to cry, they were in the capital, they were members of the symphony orchestra, staying in a comfortable concert hall, performing for a high-quality audience with identity and cultivation, you now let Guo Yan perform on the street, she feels that it is more terrible than going to the restaurant to wash the dishes and dishes.

Washing dishes and dishes in a restaurant is just staying in the kitchen, not having to accept other people's fingers, and going to perform on the street, what is the difference between that and the third-rate performers under the overpass in Beijing earlier? In Guo Yan's heart, the symphony is high, and the street performance is inferior, which she can't accept at all.

"Guo Yan, I started practicing the piano at the age of eight, and it has been twenty-seven years now, I don't know what else I will do in my life besides music? Since God gave me this craft, then I have to rely on this craft to figure out a way out, and we are not ashamed to rely on the craft to eat; Didn't many of those who performed under the overpass also become people's artists? Shen Long said solemnly, hey, Guo Yan still hasn't experienced the beating of capitalism, and he can't pull it off!

Wang Qiming seems to be the same, in the original book, when he first came to the United States to work, a colleague heard that he was a cellist, so he invited him to perform at his home. At the end of the day, they're still too comfortable at home.

Although the symphony orchestra in China doesn't make too much money, they have a unit to take care of everything, they just need to concentrate on practicing and performing, and when they go out and say that they work in the symphony orchestra, no matter what other people think in their hearts, they will still compliment a few words on the surface, oops, that's an artist, it's amazing.

Over time, they have developed their habit of being high-minded and ungrounded, and as soon as they heard that they were going to perform on the street, Guo Yan would react so much.

"Qi Ming ......" Guo Yan still couldn't turn the corner, she wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Shen Long, "Let's not fight, do you think this will work, isn't the salary of the restaurant eight hundred a month?" The average is $267 a day; Let's take this as a standard, I'll try it for three days, and if I can make 120 dollars in those three days, then I'll continue to do this, and if I can't make it, I'll listen to you to wash the dishes and dishes! ”

"One hundred and twenty dollars for three days?" This is her salary for the past year, Guo Yan felt that he would definitely not be able to do it, and then she suddenly realized that something seemed to be wrong, "Isn't this forty dollars a day?" Why do you set a higher standard than washing dishes in a restaurant? ”

"It's not an indoor show, and there's a roof for you to shelter from the wind and rain, so if the weather is bad, then you have to stay at home? Besides, I can't go to work every day, I still have to prepare a holiday for myself to rest, take you out shopping, buy some gifts for Ning Ning or something? Shen Long said matter-of-factly.

"Poof!" This amused Guo Yan, "Virtue, before you earn a dime, you are thinking about giving yourself a holiday." ”

Seeing her burst into tears and laughing, Shen Long knew that the hurdles in her heart were somewhat relaxed, so he patted her on the shoulder, "Go, it's a mule or a horse that has to be pulled out to slip around, maybe I'll be stupid there for a day, but I won't earn a dime!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, I don't know what you're capable of?" Just now, he didn't want Shen Long to go out to perform, but now Guo Yan began to blame him for looking down on him, "How do you say that you are also the chief cello of our orchestra, even if you go to the United States, there will definitely be people who appreciate your performance." ”

"Well, then I'll borrow your auspicious words, and when I make money today, I'll take you to a big meal!" In the past few days, there has been little soup and water every day, and Shen Long is about to kneel.

"What kind of big meal, you have to save the money you make, pay the rent, and pay back the money to your aunt!" said so, but Guo Yan couldn't help but think of KFC's delicious chicken wings......

"Isn't there an underground passage there? I looked like someone was playing the violin in there yesterday, shall we go there? After coming out, Guo Yan continued to give Shen Long a venue for staff street performances.

Then Shen Long rejected them one by one, "It's not good in the inner place, haven't you noticed, there are some poor people around the inner place, they don't appreciate classical music, they like rock music, where do we go to perform, we have to starve to death...... This place is not suitable, this is a financial street, those capitalists are busy like dogs in order to make money, and they walk with the wind, so there is still time to stop and enjoy the music......"

Shen Long is also a person who has experience in street performances, he knows how to choose a place, Guo Yan was stunned when he heard these words, "Okay, Qi Ming, you have taken me around New York these days, and you are thinking about this...... I'd like to see what kind of place you can get out. ”

"You'll know when you get there!" Shen Long smiled but said nothing, the only places that can appreciate the charm of classical music are those few places, the concentration of colleges and universities, the vicinity of churches and the places frequented by real art lovers.

Half an hour later, Shen Long and Guo Yan got off the bus, and what appeared in front of them was a group of huge buildings with finished glyphs in the middle, and a large square in the middle of the glyphs.

"I see this place is good, let's do it here!" Shen Long took the cello off his back, and walked to the small square next to it, where several street performers had already started to perform.

"No, Qiming, this is the Lincoln Center! Are you going to perform here? "Guo Yan still hasn't said half a sentence, aren't you a class with an axe!
