Chapter Seventy-One: The Dinner
When the temperature gradually cools as the sun sets in the west, when people who have been out for a long day turn back to their homes, the whole town becomes more and more lively.
In early winter, the sky was dark early, and at five o'clock, the cylindrical street lamps placed on both sides of the main road were lit, adding a bright scenery to Taiping Town. The current street lamp is no longer the original solar street lamp, but the new shape of the square lamp purchased by Wang Zhao, which is not only beautiful and novel, but also much brighter than the solar energy. As for those solar-powered street lamps, they have been sold by Wang Zhao in exchange for tens of thousands of taels of silver.
Due to the appearance of street lights, even when it is dark, the shops on both sides of the road do not close as in previous years, but become more lively with the increase in the flow of people, ushering in the last peak of the day.
Facts have proved that when spiritual civilization is scarce, the people's demand for entertainment programs is urgent, and the charm of art is unstoppable.
Up to now, the craze caused by movies in Taiping Town has spread to thousands of miles away with word of mouth, which has led to a large number of people pouring into Taiping Town every day.
Although Wang Zhao is not unaware of the power of movies to grab money, and is known as the three major profiteering industries comparable to arms and drugs, but the foreign movies in Taiping Town are still free, Wang Zhao is not short of money, he can resell a large number of modern goods at any time to earn a lot of money, and what he urgently needs to improve now is his comprehensive strength.
Wang Zhao believes that the so-called comprehensive strength should include its own combat power, the forces under its control, as well as the people's will, prestige, and influence.
Movies are a good way to improve your reputation and make yourself famous in the shortest possible time.
Wang Zhao has now set up a total of three venues for screening movies in the town, among which the original venue in the threshing floor outside the town is the first, where some costume dramas such as Painted Skin, A Chinese Ghost Story, White Lady, and Shushan are generally screened, and because the venue there is the largest, the number of moviegoers every night is also the largest.
The second place to screen movies is in the middle of the town, Wang Zhao found someone to open up a new open space, every night to screen such as Beijing rhyme drums, Peking Opera, Pingdan, Qinshu and other music programs, sometimes there will be some traditional cross talk and classic modern songs, in the cultivation of a large number of ticket holders at the same time, but also to harvest a large number of fans, so that now many people will hum two Xipi Erhuang when they are fine.
The last venue is the viewing hall newly built by Wang Zhao and the workers with a large number of composite plates, the appearance of the style is somewhat like the factory building, that is, the height is ten meters, the upper side is a triangular steel beam of the big house, inside can sit three or four hundred people, not only everyone has a seat, there is also air conditioning and heating, you can even buy melon seeds, peanuts, preserved fruits and candied fruits that are not available outside, and even the projection equipment inside is a regular theater machine, watching movies here, it is really a pleasure, of course, This newly opened theater is not free, not only does it have to charge money, but it is also expensive, and it is not that some people with net worth cannot afford it.
Wang Zhao knows that some people pay attention to status and status, and they pay attention to style, if you let them watch free movies with those working people, then they are not happy, thinking that they have lost their identity, but the more they charge, let them spend a lot of money, they think that they are in line with their identity, and they are satisfied.
In short, after more than two months of hard work by Wang Zhao and others, the whole town has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the initial food and clothing have been achieved, and there have been no people who have starved to death or frozen to death in the whole town for more than a month, and even there are very few hungry people in the nearby villages, and even reached worship in some places.
With the beginning of the lanterns and the moon hanging in the mountains, more than a dozen modern migrant workers who had just arrived in the other world and wandered around the town for half a day returned to the dormitory one after another, and the first Otherworldly Architecture and Xianxia World Experience Conference held by Wang Zhao began.
The conference began under the silent gaze of the modern visitors, Wang Zhao took Lilac, Ye Feng, Feng Rusong and others to make a grand appearance, Zhao Wu did not participate because he did not have any special abilities, he could not transform, and he was afraid of exposing his identity, so he did not participate, and Wang Zhao and Lilac changed their image, Wang Zhao is still the image of a tall and mighty strong man, with a height of nearly two meters is extremely eye-catching, wearing a long windbreaker on his body, and wearing a pair of large sunglasses on his face, which is very Huyulu's style. And Lilac has made her body smaller, one meter eight has become one meter six, with a slender figure, a light body, wearing bone armor, fully armed, and long elf-like ears are not only alternative and good-looking, but can make her hearing more sensitive, and after opening the magical power 'Afra's Eyes', her eyes are beautiful purple, as translucent and deep as flawless amethyst, Afra means dust, and Afra's eyes mean delicate and visible, which means sharp in her eyes.
Wang Zhao was afraid that his true face would be seen by these modern visitors and leave hidden dangers, in case he encountered it in modern society in the future, he would inevitably have trouble, so since he crossed over with these people, he has maintained this appearance, and he also gave a gag order to Ye Feng, Lao Shi's family and others around him in advance, so that they can unify their voices and resolutely not reveal their previous image.
Wang Zhao had no experience in giving speeches before, and these people in front of him were not uninformed local natives, and they were not so easy to fool, so Wang Zhao made a long story short, first told them the fact of crossing, and in order to enhance the persuasiveness, she also asked Lilac to show her magical abilities on the spot.
Lilac obeyed Wang Zhao's words, never refuted Wang Zhao's face in front of outsiders, took two steps forward, and directly unfolded the hidden wings, as soon as the wings of two meters long appeared, its gorgeous shape calmed everyone present, and even Wang Zhao was attracted to attention.
Lilac wings fanned, and then blessed a lightness technique on himself, just under the envious and amazed eyes of everyone, facing the bright moonlight, like a light cloud, like a feather, silently rose in the air, and stopped above the heads of those modern visitors.
Mixed with the crowd looking up at the sky, Gao Mingwei whispered to himself: "It's a pity that I didn't wear a skirt, it's a pity!" ”
Some people have already begun to take out their mobile phones to take pictures, Lilac has a 'teleportation', quietly appeared by Wang Zhao's side, put away her wings, took the windbreaker handed over by Ye Feng, and draped it on herself.
Lilac's teleportation shocked the eyes of the whole place again, and also made these modern visitors completely understand their situation:
They really crossed over.
They really came to an era where immortals and demons coexisted, there are countless incredible people and things, the previous scientific and world views have collapsed, everyone is hesitant and uneasy, and there is a trace of novelty and excitement, no one knows what they will encounter.
This world is so novel, such as Gao Mingwei, He Jianguo and others, their hearts are on fire.
Wang Zhao saw that Lilac successfully shocked these people, and began to move on to the next step with satisfaction, that is, to buy, as the saying goes, a slap has to give a sweet date, Wang Zhao wants to let others work for him, then he must give the other party the corresponding benefits.
Wang Zhao promised in public that as long as they could work hard and complete the set construction tasks, they would be able to go home with a high salary after a month's work. And if a few apprentices can be trained during this time, then as long as the apprentice's skills are qualified, the person with the apprentice can get the apprentice's salary. That is to say, if you can teach an apprentice, you can receive one more person's salary, two is the salary of two people, and five is the salary of five people.
Everyone present is a smart person, and they didn't mention what they would end up with if they were unwilling to cooperate, anyway, they had seen Lilac's amazing methods, everyone was a person who had been in society for a long time, and no one would make a mistake.
Besides, without the means of the king's call, they would not be able to cross back home, how could these people dare to offend the king's call?
Soon, Wang Zhao's speech ended, and then the meal was announced according to the traditional process.
Due to Wang Zhao's big sale of cooking secrets, it has led to the rapid improvement of cooking techniques in other worlds, and many talented chefs have been able to make meals that meet the tastes of modern people after many studies. In addition, there are many mountain delicacies here, like roe deer, venison, pheasants and ducks, etc., as for beef and mutton is more common, after Wang Zhao spent a lot of money, the delicacies of the mountains and wild games are put up like flowing water, and its authentic taste makes these modern visitors addicted.
The whole banquet began to become lively, and the crowd was not as restrained and nervous as it was at the beginning.
When the atmosphere was warm, Zhang Tianxing, who was resident in the town, ran over and directly found Wang Zhao to report: "My lord, it's not good, Uncle Qian and Second Master Qian in the town are fighting." More than a dozen people were dispatched on both sides, and they were all about to use knives. ”
