Chapter 97: Spring in the Theater

After the end of the drama in the evening. The actors of Tingsong Theater packed up their props and left the palace.

The next day, Ah Xing distributed the silver rewarded by the princess to the actors, 10 taels for the protagonist and 5 taels for the supporting role, just after distributing 100 taels of silver. In addition, Ah Xing also gave each person a red envelope of 2 taels. Ah Xing said to everyone: "The theater is good, that is, everyone's good!" In the future, everyone will work hard to perform, and in the future, when our theater will become bigger and bigger, the reputation will become more and more famous, and the more plays there are, the higher and higher everyone's monthly silver will be, the reward will be more and more, and the red envelope will be more and more generous! A-Xing does what she says, and she will never treat everyone badly! ”

The actors didn't expect that Ah Xing not only gave them all the reward without blinking her eyes, but also gave them red envelopes, and she was very grateful for the generosity of the bosses.

Afterwards, Ling Zifeng said to Ah Xing with admiration: "I have never seen them have such high fighting spirit, I used to only care about the affairs of the theater." I rarely communicate with the actors, so that Qingyun Theater gently and skillfully poached most of my plays here, it seems that I still have a large part of the responsibility, but I see that the current theater actors, even if Qingyun asks for a high price to dig it, it is not so easy. ”

Ah Xing smiled slightly: "As long as everyone's interests are combined with the interests of the theater, the actors will naturally treat the theater as their own home to operate, love, and not give up easily." We distribute a part of our own benefits to them, and they are inspired to act harder, and they will definitely create greater benefits for us in the future. Speaking of this, Ah Xing smiled embarrassedly and said, "Now Ah Xing is all about interests, as if she is very mercenary, which makes Uncle Ling laugh." ”

Ling Zifeng shook his head and said, "Why did A-Xing say that? We opened the theater itself for profit, and what we have to do is to find ways to make it more and better. I don't think there's anything wrong with making life better for everyone in the theater! ”

Ah Xing nodded, "That's what Uncle Ling said!" ”

In the following days, the matter of Tingsong Theater's performance for the palace spread all over the city under Ah Xing's heartfelt arrangement. Tingsong Theater's drama and the female boss immediately became the hottest topic in the city, and new plays were staged, so Tingsong Theater was very popular during this time. The venue was almost full, and the private rooms upstairs were in short supply. This kind of pomp and circumstance was not expected even by Ah Xing.

Two performances a day, with an additional opera in the afternoon. Although there is no famous role in opera, it is cheaper, and now Tingsong is famous. People love their dramas and are very tolerant of their operas. In addition, Ah Xing has made some changes to the opera, increasing the storyline and adding characters, making the opera no longer so monotonous and more interesting. The singing voice of the drama is no longer the only highlight. This change is refreshing and well received. Gao Qinglian's momentum even faintly overpowered Fang Mozhu. For an actor who could only sing in a small country town before, now his fame and fortune make him feel like he is in a dream. He knew that the current fame and fortune all came from the theater and from the careful cultivation of Miss Axing, so he was even more desperate for Tingsong Theater, and he also worked harder to improve his skills, striving to one day completely overwhelm Fang Mozhu and become the new famous actor in Jincheng.

Not only is the business of the theater good, but the number of appearances of the theater team is also increasing. Because they have been to the palace to perform, more and more rich families like to invite the actors of Tingsong Theater to perform at home, and they think that it is really a face-saving thing to let the actors who are liked by the prince and princess perform for themselves. Now the appearance fee of a troupe in Tingsong Theater is already 50 taels of silver a day, but the rich people don't care, there is anything to celebrate in the house, and it is indispensable to invite Tingsong Theater to come over to help the fun, so that the guests can enjoy themselves, and their faces are also bright.

This month, the theater made a net profit of 2,000 taels of silver! This is also because the theater now only has two theater groups. A lot of appearances can't be received, otherwise it would not be a problem to make a net profit of 3,000 taels of silver!

Ah Xing gets half of it, plus the car dealership also has a dividend of 500 taels of silver, Ah Xing has a total income of 1,500 taels this month!

What is the concept of 1500 taels? The annual income of ordinary people is 20 taels, and even the annual income of an official is only a few hundred taels! An ordinary house is only 100 taels. Even in modern times, A-Xing also belongs to a million-dollar annual salary family!

Ah Xing was really happy holding a stack of silver tickets......

The actors were also very happy, because their prize money this month was 5 times that of the monthly silver. The ordinary drama has 30 taels of silver, and the main actors have 60 taels of silver, and everyone is full of red and congratulates each other. Ling Zifeng was also very emotional with 1,000 taels of silver tickets, he used to work hard for only 100 taels of silver a month, and these incomes had to deduct the rent, and he had worked hard for more than ten years, and the money he had saved was not more than this month, so that he couldn't pay the rent and was almost kicked out by the landlord. He must have done a lot of good things in his previous life, and God let him meet Ah Xing in this life, so that he also had such a proud day!

When he went back in the afternoon, Ah Xing put the 1,000 taels of silver tickets in front of his father, and Li Runfu's eyes were straight. It's the first time he's seen so much money after he's lived so big! And so much money was earned back by Ah Xing, which really made him feel like he was in a dream. He took the silver ticket and looked left and right, his hands trembling slightly.

Ah Xing sat opposite her father, holding her little face, looking at her father and smiling slightly: "Daddy, in another year, when we have saved enough money, we will buy land and build a big house!" I'm going to ask the maid to come back and serve Daddy! ”

When Li Runfu heard that his daughter was going to invite someone to come back to serve him, he waved his hand again and again and said, "I don't want it." It's okay to buy yourself a girl, I think those ladies have girls, my daughter is not worse than those ladies in any way, of course, there must be a girl to serve! ”

A Xing smiled: "Let's talk about these later!" But Daddy, now that the family has a lot of money, Daddy doesn't need to work so hard to go out to catch the car, so it's better to sell the carriage to others, come to the theater every day to watch the play, and drink tea in his spare time, okay? "The most important thing is to have more time to think about the continuation.

Li Runfu was anxious when he heard that his daughter asked him to sell the carriage, and said: "No, no, no, I am strong now, I can't do it if I stay at home all day and night with nothing to do, and I can earn dozens of taels of silver a month by driving the car, and now I am not tired with Guo Sheng, I am working hard, no, the carriage cannot be sold!" ”

Ah Xing saw that her father insisted, and knew that he was also an idle person, so she didn't say anything anymore

That night, all the actors in the theater gathered together to celebrate. Everyone was full of happy smiles on their faces, and Aunt Liu was busy in the kitchen, because the business of the theater was good. Even the people in their kitchen added moon silver. Some of the ladies who do odd jobs in the kitchen usually only have one or two pieces of silver. It's all about earning some money to subsidize the family. But this month, the theater doubled them for two taels of silver, which was about the same as the income of the masters in the family, which made their waists a lot straighter. Aunt Liu said to Ah Xing with a smile in her spare time: "They told me that the extra silver in the family is indeed a lot more relaxed, and their husband now has some spare money to drink some wine, watch some plays, and live a better life, and they will not beat and scold them at will, and they have now tasted the sweetness of earning silver." They all told me that they were going to turn to a regular job! ”

As long as the part-time job works for two hours a day, the regular worker has to stay from the morning until after dinner before he can go back, but the salary is 2 taels, plus the prize silver, and the regular worker in the kitchen has 5 taels of silver this month. It spoiled their eyes.

A Xingqi said: "Their husband is willing to let them come out to do things? "Didn't you say that women were not allowed to come out and show their heads? Men who used to do odd jobs and had a lot of time to stay at home now have to stay outside almost all day, would men agree?

Aunt Liu smiled: "5 taels of silver!" That's not a small amount! Those big men are only 3 taels of silver a month at most! Who would think a lot of money? And it's not shameful to do things in the kitchen, and it's not to make improper money. 5 taels of silver! It's no problem to eat meat every day! In a few years, you can buy a house and a carriage! Who doesn't want to live a good life! Their husbands will think about it too! ”

Ah Xing nodded thoughtfully, it turned out that driven by certain interests, the rules were not unchangeable......

Ah Xing was naturally in favor of women having their own income, and now that there are more and more people in the theater, the kitchen also needs to increase the number of people, so she immediately agreed to these people's request to become regular workers.

So at the celebration that night, these cooks also specially told their husbands to help in the theater. Their kitchen prepares a sumptuous selection of fine wines and dishes for everyone to enjoy.

Naturally, Li Runfu also attended the celebration. Because he knew that it was everyone's party, he made an exception to allow Ah Xing to come to the theater at night, seeing his daughter running the theater so prosperously, and seeing the big guy so happy, Li Runfu couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart.

Ling Zifeng pulled Li Runfu to sit on the main seat, Li Runfu refused to sit down, and later sat down with a smile at everyone's unanimous request. Ah Xing sat next to her father, surrounded by the only three female actors in the theater. The income of the female drama is also issued according to the specifications of the protagonist, 60 taels of silver really made the little girls happy, Qiao Ying is okay, there is no too excited expression on her face, but Yumei and Jingxian are so excited that they blush, and there is a smile on the corner of their mouths all night, they are already born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and now with this moving look, the group of male actors who only watched it couldn't take their eyes off, and the two little girls lowered their heads in shame.

Ling Zifeng smiled and relieved the two actresses, he picked up the wine glass in front of him and looked at everyone and smiled: "Okay, don't stare at the girls like hungry wolves one by one, okay?" Look, the little girl is embarrassed! Raise your glasses, let's toast Brother Li with a glass of wine first! Thank you to him for raising such a good girl, so that the theater is today! ”

A group of men were embarrassed by Ling Zifeng's teasing. After hearing this, they couldn't wait to raise the wine glass in their hands, salute Li Runfu together, and said in unison: "Brother Li (Uncle Li) brought us Miss Axing!" After speaking, they all raised their heads, and a glass of wine fell into their stomachs.

Li Runfu was made to laugh and cry by their toasts, but seeing everyone's enthusiasm, he couldn't help but be arrogant, and he also stood up and drank the whole glass of wine in one gulp.
