Chapter 434: The Roast Duck Seller

Qian Jun shook his head helplessly: "No, an old man will lift a person and a young businessman, most parents still choose to lift people, after all, scholars are superior people, the more money a businessman has, the more copper stinks, and there are many rules in the businessman's house, and often the concubine room climbs to the head of the wife, and the matter is too unreliable, and the parents are not at ease." ”

Unconvinced, he retorted: "Doesn't this happen in the scholar's house?" The businessman is at least soft-hearted, and he still keeps his wife alive, and it is impossible for a scholar to live for the sake of fame. ”

To be honest, Qian Jun silently admitted that marrying into a scholar's family is the same as a businessman's family, the only difference is that the scholar's family has a higher social status.

"Scholars have more rules and are more likely to be wives, and life is even more difficult, maybe you will meet a bad mother-in-law." I still don't understand the anger and say another sentence.

"Okay, okay, don't cry, look at the Three Kingdoms in the middle of the night, worry about the ancients, this is just a nonsense story, but I have earned enough tears." He took out the handkerchief to wipe his eyes and avoided it, he took the handkerchief and dipped it in the corner of his eyes, took a deep breath, and forcibly pulled his emotions out of the plot of the drama.

The conflict between drama and reality cognition can cause social effects, so I can rest assured that people will be arranged to prepare for the performance on the same day.

A large theater garden in the central area of Maocheng can accommodate five or six hundred people, which is a rare large theater, and I would like to send someone to contact the theater owner to contract the venue for five days, and then put up posters throughout the city to book theater tickets.

There are a lot of people in Maocheng, but I haven't heard of the drama, I haven't seen the actors, except for a few idlers, there are not many people who are interested, I want to publicize ten days in advance, and only sell tickets for the first and second shows, and the third show is not more than half, but I am not worried about the Zhou family opera troupe, the official Maocheng commercial city, the locals are younger, they can speak, at least they can understand it, and the Zhou family opera troupe sings well, the melody is beautiful, the actors sing well, and the audience does two publicity, so I am not afraid that it will not be popular.

Sure enough, the number of ticket buyers suddenly increased after the end of the first scene, and the tickets were sold out in the next few days, so I had to arrange additional performances during the day, and I didn't dare to add too much, lest the actors couldn't stand it, and then there was a ticket speculation boom, and the final selling price of the tickets on the fifth day was more than ten times the original price. The shopkeeper of the opera garden was reluctant to be chartered at first, but now he is even more reluctant to charter the opera class, the Zhou family father and son are fortunately not to see the money, and the eyes are open to ask for instructions, and finally reached an agreement with the opera garden, only one performance a day, and half dividends.

The news came out and the speculation was converged.

The income of the opera garden is not only on the theater ticket, but also in the tea table box under the theater, and there are more service items: tea, snacks, fruits, etc., no matter who sells the theater, the garden will take a cut, and in the end, half of it will be given to the Zhou family.

Zhou Danniang went to see it and sighed.

"Are you not happy to make money?"

"Alas, I always feel that these can't be put on the table, and I have always hoped that the second child will be as safe and stable as the boss, who knows that like Lao Tzu and the father at home will become like this, if you hit a wall, you can still converge, this is good, you haven't made much money, your father and son are booming, and now they don't listen to it more and more."

"Money is hard to buy, good children, children live the law, as long as they obey the law and don't provoke trouble."

"Alas, I'm so old, I'm worried to death before I get married."

"You won't fall in love with the actors there?"

"If you give it like that, you should die."

"Well, why bother."

"It's ugly enough to be the head of a drama troupe, but it's a businessman's drama."

Zhou Danniang was also sold to the fireworks field, but she worked hard and was good, so she naturally didn't want her son to fall into the period again.

I sympathize with Zhou Danniang and feel that she will definitely be sad.

The Zhou family opera troupe has been operating for so many years, naturally there is more than one set, and when they see that the first scene is often performed, the actors can't rehearse the next one, so they use the backup people to rehearse the second play, and at the same time, the newspaper reviews about this aspect have also followed, and occasionally introduce the actors, revealing that the Zhou family is rehearsing the second play, so that those fans are very much looking forward to these people, and they have turned into loyal newspaper readers, and the newspaper sales have reached a new level, and people have already subscribed monthly and quarterly.

Although the newspaper is still in the current affairs section, it occasionally arranges a small piece of tofu block analysis and complains, testing the bottom line of the court little by little, and also scratching the itchy flesh in people's hearts.

Things are going according to plan step by step, although Zhou Danniang still cares a lot about the original class order, and there is a deep discrimination against opera actors, but I firmly believe that these can be changed, especially the audience outside the theater, which makes me feel a lot more comfortable, it turns out that Maocheng people are of course pleased that their children are good at studying, but if the girls choose a son-in-law, they not only value the economic strength of the husband's family, but also pay attention to whether they are matched with their daughter's age, if they choose, they will definitely let their daughters marry young and capable businessmen, and will not choose an old son and daughter to do the continuation.

This is when the concept changes, the change is very slow, but if the society changes greatly, the concept change will also be very fast, for example, in the early twentieth century, the middle of the twentieth century and the eighties of the twentieth century, people's vision of choosing a husband will be completely subverted in just a few years. Qian Jun initially arranged to talk about politics in the newspaper, only talk about opera, the world, I fully agree, after more than a year of gradual infiltration, now Maocheng people are used to the newspaper, occasionally a few words in the newspaper, the court officialdom is not concerned, now I would like to comment on the drama in the newspaper at length, there are many people participating in the discussion, especially the anonymous letters from women, all of them feel indignant and helpless that their fate is controlled by others, and many businessmen feel that the division of people is unfair, and they are published one by one, and at the same time appropriately guided, so that the pursuit of equality and freedom of the idea is stronger. Unconsciously, the newspaper has increased from the original four pages to two, and the price of eight pages has not changed, and the advertising has increased significantly, and now a newspaper has deducted the manuscript fee, printing fee, labor cost and other little profits, but the price of the advertising business unit area has doubled, and this item has made Zhu Xinyun so happy that he can't find the north: "Big Dongjia." "When I report to you, this is the case," the boss of the money scrambled to advertise in our newspaper, and the size of the tofu block was more than 30 taels of silver, and they took out the money without blinking an eye, and came to sell roast duck, and immediately set a month's layout, and gave some discounts, and still paid 1,700 taels of silver. ”
