491 Set up the stage
Shanzi said that the situation in the village is not good, but there are people in the county government in their village, so there are fewer tax increases.
He said that he wanted to borrow food from his parents and brothers, but his father, mother and brothers in his hometown were all in the family, and he was afraid that they would not give him anything.
But even if they can get a handful of rice bran back, their small family will be able to breathe more time and get through the current difficulties.
"What about the other counties in Zhongshan County? Is it the same as the situation here in Yi County? Xu Yue frowned and asked.
Shanzi shook his head, "It's not good, it's not good, you have to build bridges and roads, and you have to learn from Xu Jiajun to build factories and reform, at the beginning, everyone thought this was a good thing, it was the same good thing as Xu Jiajun's side, as long as you have the strength, you can work and you can stutter and wear." ”
"But this is not the case here, there is no food and clothing, and you have to pay taxes and serve, which is simply a waste of labor and money, the big guy complains, and he is powerless to resist, so he can only grit his teeth and endure it for the sake of his family......"
While the three of them were talking about the situation in other counties, Wen Qing and Shanzi's daughter-in-law and children, who had gone out, came back.
Shanzi's son was nibbling on a bun in his hand, eating carefully and very preciously.
Although he had just eaten several of them, and the burning emptiness in his stomach had been filled, he still wanted to feel more of the happiness of having something to eat.
In addition to the hot buns wrapped in leaves, Wen Qing also carried a small burlap bag, which contained ten catties of husked corn.
These ten catties of grain could not solve the food crisis of the Shanzi family, but it also gave the family a chance to breathe.
As soon as Shanzi's daughter-in-law entered the door, she came to find Shanzi, and was flattered and told Shanzi that Wen Qing insisted on buying food for her family.
Of course she was happy to have food, but because she didn't know the identities of Wen Qing Xu Yue and others, she always felt that she was in a panic, afraid that if she accepted their benefits, her husband would have to pay a thousand times the price.
It wasn't until Shanzi gave her a positive answer and asked her to take it away with confidence, and the three guests in the courtyard would not let herself pay a thousand times the price, that Shanzi's daughter-in-law put her mind at ease and led her curious son into the house.
She knew that it was best for her husband and her son not to hear a word of the conversation between her husband and the three guests.
Shanzi got up gratefully and bowed deeply to Xu Yue and the others: "Thank you, Daoyou!" ”
"You're welcome, they're all my own brothers." Wen Qing hurriedly helped people up.
Xu Yue also understood the situation almost as well, and after asking Shanzi about the road near Yi County, he said goodbye and left.
Shanzi sent people to the mouth of the alley.
Before parting, Xu Yue thought about it and gave Shanzi a reminder.
"If you hear anything about the troupe in a few days, it's better not to know anything."
When Shanzi heard this, not only was he not afraid, but he was extremely excited, and he lowered his voice and asked excitedly:
"Are you going to get ready to take action?"
If this is the case, the big guy's good days are coming, and he is willing to call the other brothers to help the Taoist friends in their next actions.
Seeing Shanzi's eagerness to try, Xu Yue shook her head lightly and waved at him, "Goodbye." ”
The next action of the opera troupe, Shanzi and these people had better not get involved, and not knowing anything is the best result for them.
Although Shanzi felt a little lost when he couldn't ask the answer he wanted, he was not stupid, and he knew that the big names in the Xu family's army were going to take action in Yi County, so he was still happy to go home.
Xu Yue and the three of them left the residential area and returned to the restaurant, and the female shopkeeper saw them coming back, and stepped forward to ask about the things discussed yesterday.
The female shopkeeper smiled and asked, "Class master, have you thought about it?" If you think about it, we won't be in a hurry to pay tonight's room money. ”
Wen Qing and Xu Yue glanced at each other, remembering the action plan discussed by the three of them on the road, hesitated for a moment, and nodded.
The female shopkeeper was overjoyed, "Then let's have a game first?" It's almost noon, and it's the time when there are the most customers in the lobby, and it's not lively. ”
Wen Qing raised her hand to signal the excited female shopkeeper to stop and reminded her:
"Shopkeeper, don't be in a hurry Zhang Luo, there is something you and I have to tell you, the repertoire of our troupe is learned from the people over there in Youzhou, we can act, but I just don't know if it will ......"
Before Wen Qing finished speaking, the female shopkeeper showed a clear look, pulled him aside and whispered:
"I'm tired of seeing those big tricks in the local area, otherwise why would I have found you? Aren't you thinking about letting the big guy watch something fresh, just over there, play some tricks, sing a drama, what else can you do? ”
"Oh, I said you guys don't ink, so it's decided, come on stage at noon, I'll let the guy set up a stage for you!"
The female shopkeeper is a fiery person, and if she says it, she will do it immediately, patted Wen Qing's arm, and handed him a look that her sister would give you a look that was relieved, and hurriedly beckoned the guys to get busy.
Wen Qing's reminder to his mouth encountered this situation, so he could only swallow it back helplessly.
Turning around and glancing at Xu Yue's brother and sister, the three of them thought: We have all said what should be said, it was the female shopkeeper who insisted on asking us to act, something really happened, but I don't blame us for not reminding you in advance.
Now that the female shopkeepers have begun to set up the stage, the members of their drama troupe must also prepare.
On the first day of his debut, he couldn't make too many private conversations, so as not to attract the attention of officials in the city.
So, after everyone discussed, it was decided to let Wen Qing take the twins to the stage to tell the big guy the story of the bright goddess of Xu Jiajun.
Storytelling, simple and good, there is no entertainment these days, people who go to restaurants to eat and drink like to listen to some bizarre gossip and ghost stories.
The shopkeeper doesn't ask them to perform anything, as long as she can help her attract guests.
Seeing that Xu Yue and others were going to take the stage with two little dolls that looked like pink carvings, they were quite looking forward to it.
Soon, the appointed time arrived.
At ten o'clock at noon, it was indeed the most lively time on the main street, and the shopkeepers of various restaurants came to the street, shouting loudly about their own characteristics.
The frying and frying dishes from Xu Jiajun's side are the most attractive to guests.
The female shopkeeper stood on the street and met the shopkeepers of several restaurants opposite, and several shopkeepers smiled provocatively at the female shopkeeper, and shouted out the fresh dishes newly developed by their families.
The female shopkeeper looked at them calmly and shouted, and when they finished shouting a round of drinking water and resting their voices, they directly asked the shopkeeper to swing the freshly made flower card to the door.
It reads "Today's Free Listening Book".
Several shopkeepers on the opposite side were stunned, and the shopkeeper who was not too stiff with the female shopkeeper asked curiously:
"Don't you dislike the storyteller you invited to tell some old-fashioned stories and drive people away? What's the matter, you brought people back again? ”
The female shopkeeper proudly stretched out her fingers and shook them left and right, "Today's invitation is new, and it is also a brand new story, which you have never heard!" ”
