Xu Wanting seemed to be interested in this house at this time, and pulled the person on duty to keep asking.

Cheng Yu frowned, and said in his heart that this script was wrong.

According to the person on duty, the original owner of this house married a famous Huangmei opera singer, and he also went to the Spring Festival Gala in the 80s, so when did this house come to the Cheng family?

It stands to reason that this house must be in the hands of Cheng Qingshan, who arrived before the liberation.

Taking advantage of Xu Wanting's pause, Cheng Yu finally had the opportunity to ask: "I heard that this house does not belong to the descendants of the Wang family for a long time, right?

The person on duty was stunned for a moment and said, "This house is indeed not donated by the people of the Wang family, but what you said does not belong to the descendants of the Wang family for a long time, I haven't heard of this."

Our speculation is that in the late 80s or early 90s, after the opening of the commercial housing market, the descendants of the Wang family sold the house.

The famous singer of Huangmei Opera died as early as the mid-80s, and her children are living abroad, which is also true.

Then this house fell into the hands of a private entrepreneur in our Wudong City, and it was donated eight years ago.

And the private entrepreneur funded the creation of the current park.

However, the private entrepreneur did not want to be named, so it was inconvenient for me to tell you. ”

Seeing this, Cheng Yu knew that there was a piece of history that had been erased, so he didn't bother to ask, anyway, the Cheng Guangnian brothers must have been born in this house, and it is absolutely right that they also grew up in this house.

That famous Huangmei opera artist may have another residence in the city, and this residence was sold by her husband a long time ago and fell into the hands of the Cheng family.

Cheng Qingshan was not even the first owner of the Cheng family to own this house, but earlier.

What the man on duty said was only the history of the Wang family, but I was afraid that the stories of several generations did not happen in this old mansion.

After turning around, Cheng Yu and Xu Wanting also said goodbye and left.

The two returned to the teahouse before, and when they heard some noise coming from inside, they stepped in.

There were already people on stage cleaning up, and it looked like they were about to start performing.

The two sat down, and a young man dressed in an old-fashioned short dress came over with his trousers pulled.

"Happy New Year, you two, here's the menu, please take a look. ”

Cheng Yu took a look, in fact, they were all big road goods, but there were some local snacks in Wudong.

So, I ordered a few snacks and asked for two cups of tea.

Cheng Yu asked casually, "Is this preparing for a performance?"

The young man nodded and said, "Well, the show will start in about ten minutes." Originally, I thought that I would be able to stop acting today, but thanks to the blessing of the two, we can also listen to this Wu Dong vernacular. ”

"By the way, what kind of quyi is this Wu Dong vernacular? It seems that you like to listen to it very much, and young people will also like this old-style quyi?" Xu Wanting asked Cheng Yu before, and now she finally found someone to answer her.

The young man smiled and said, "We have three main forms of performance here. One is called Wu Dong Baiju, and the other is called Wu Dong Commentary, and the last one is Wu Dong Baihua. Like you said, I don't like to listen to this white game and commentary, babbling, but this vernacular, hehe, is interesting. ”

Cheng Yu laughed dumbly, this young guy actually sells Guanzi.

According to Cheng Yu's temperament, he won't ask questions, anyway, the guy will always introduce him.

But Xu Wanting was very curious and said, "Why do you like to listen to this vernacular?"

"Because this vernacular is actually cross talk in Wudong's local dialect.

Today is a stand-up, that is, a person said, is it the New Year, it is impossible to call everyone to perform.

However, the vernacular spoken by this one person is actually more interesting to me than what two people say. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be Wu Dong's cross talk......"

"That's right, but it's different.

The reason why I say that stand-up is more interesting is because the Wu Dong vernacular spoken by two people is really no different from cross talk.

But a person's one-way talk is different.

The stand-up of cross talk is more similar to storytelling, basically in the third person, telling stories.

But Wu Dong's vernacular, in the first person, is more like a person telling jokes on stage......"

"Isn't that more like a talk show?"

"You can say that. ”

Xu Wanting nodded, also a little interested, and asked again: "What about the white bureau and the commentary?"

"Commenting is actually similar to commenting on a story, of course, it is also in Wu Dong's dialect. ”

"Commenting on books, then why don't you like to listen to them?"

"Because most of the reviews are long, and they are not very funny, they are mainly storytelling. is nothing more than stories such as the Three Kingdoms of the Water Margin, modern people have TV movies, who is impatient to listen to such a commentary every day. ”

Xu Wanting nodded again and said, "What about the white bureau? ”

"The origin of the white bureau is somewhat controversial, but it is all produced in the ancient weaving cloud brocade industry.

Because it is mainly for self-entertainment, it is called a white singing game.

Then it was simplified, and it was called the White Bureau.

In fact, the form is a bit similar to multi-talk comedy, but it is mainly sung, and there are many local songs from Wudong.

It's fun to listen to it once or twice, but it's boring to work here every day. ”

Xu Wanting still wanted to ask, but it seemed that she was ready to start performing on stage, so Cheng Yu stopped her and said, "Let's watch the show." ”

Xu Wanting bowed slightly, but the young man did not leave, but looked at the two of them with blank eyes.

Cheng Yu frowned and said, "Aren't you going to help us make tea?"

The young man smiled dryly, stretched out his hand and said, "Well, please pay for it." Now it's different from before, it's all about paying after you order. ”

Cheng Yu suddenly realized, but he didn't mean to pay at all, and Xu Wanting didn't think about paying for it, so the scene froze again.

"Uh...... The two ......, "The young man said in his heart that you have been sitting for a long time, and you don't plan to not order, right?"

"Two, although we don't require a minimum consumption or anything here, you two at least have to have a pot of tea......

Xu Wanting saw that Cheng Yu didn't move, so she picked up her mobile phone and said, "Is it okay to pay by mobile phone?"

"Of course you can. You scan the QR code on the corner of the table, and it will be 163 yuan in total. ”

Xu Wanting paid, and the young man left, just muttering as he walked.

Except for Cheng Yu and Xu Wanting in the teahouse, there were no other guests at all, and although the young man's voice was small, they still heard it.

"It's really slamming the door, a big man, actually waiting for the little girl to pay. Look at that little girl, I'm afraid she's not even twenty years old and still in college, right?

Cheng Yu rolled his eyes, but he was used to it, after all, he had asked girls to pay for it this year.

Xu Wanting burst out laughing, she really hadn't experienced this.

When recording the show in the morning, Xu Wanting also wondered if Cheng Yu was usually so picky, so the processes in the show could be dealt with easily.

But after the excerpt was finished, Cheng Yu gave each staff member another red envelope and invited them to a meal, which made Xu Wanting feel that Cheng Yu was not that kind of person.

At this time, more than 100 yuan, Xu Wanting obviously won't care, but she really doesn't understand why Cheng Yu is not even willing to pay this 100 yuan.

"Hey, people say you. You're a big man, are you embarrassed to let a female student who hasn't graduated yet pay the bill?" Xu Wanting pestled Cheng Yu's arm and said with a wicked smile.

Cheng Yu rolled his eyes and said: "He was deceived by your appearance, I am a red envelope and an invitation to dinner today, are you embarrassed to let me give this tea money? ”

Xu Wanting pursed her lips: "Hey, isn't your man's payment a gentleman's demeanor?"

Cheng Yu still said without being salty: "A man behaves like a gentleman and rushes to pay, which is nothing more than two points. First, there are intentions for the lady next to him. Second, machismo. It just so happens that I'm neither, so it's time for you to buy it back. ”

"Huh, stingy!" Xu Wanting wasn't really angry, but she just felt that Cheng Yu was a little weird.

How did she know that Cheng Yu was just taking advantage of the few opportunities to create points that could be obtained.

The reason why Cheng Yu performed handy in recording the show today is, of course, that he has long been used to it, and on the other hand, it is also because he found that even in the recording of the show, his door-slamming behavior can still generate points.

After more than three hours of program recording, Cheng Yu successfully completed eight door-slamming behaviors, so he also got one hundred and three points.

And invited those staff to eat at noon, Cheng Yu seemed to buy the order quietly.

In fact, he actually went to the bar after confirming that he would not add food halfway.

When checking out, he also broke with others for a long time, and finally asked the merchant to allow him to use the group purchase coupons on Dianping to pay.

This earned him another thirty-four points.

Just now, after Xu Wanting paid for the tea with her mobile phone, a crisp jingle sounded in Cheng Yu's head again, and a golden number of +15 slowly emerged.

After half a day, it seems that Cheng Yu is just recording the show, but in fact, he has gained 152 points for it.

For him, who is now 70% off for life, one hundred and fifty-two points is close to eleven days of life.

In my head, the number in the center of the pale green light screen is already 17360/17599.

And at this moment, Wu Dong's vernacular performance finally began on stage.

It is said to be similar to stand-up comedy, but because of the first-person performance format, it is indeed more like telling a joke.

But including Cheng Yu, the two of them are not familiar with Wudong dialect, so they don't particularly understand the jokes in some of these dialects.

Fortunately, the current vernacular program is obviously also taking care of the audience in Tiannan and Haibei, and the jokes that belong to Wu Dongfangyan are much less, so most of the time, Cheng Yu and Xu Wanting are also happy to listen to it, and feel that this Wu Dong vernacular is indeed a little interesting.

Because it was the Chinese New Year, there was only one performer, so this one said on stage for 20 minutes and said that he was going down.

Of course, it's not that the show is over, but it's about half an hour apart.

After all, a person's voice can't stare at it, it has to be tired.

The tea garden was quiet, and while Xu Wanting was eating melon seeds, she remembered what happened to Wang Tang's former residence just now.

"The person on duty before, the former residence of Wang Tang was donated by a private entrepreneur in Wudong, that person can't be from your family, right?"

Cheng Yu didn't hide it from her, nodded and said, "Well, it's my dad." ”

"It's really your dad. I was skeptical, otherwise you wouldn't have had the strength to go in and have a look. So, you said before that the house doesn't belong to the Wang family for a long time, because you lived there when you were a child?"

Cheng Yu nodded, but shook his head again, and said, "I have indeed lived in it, but I have no impression at all." When I was just over two years old, the house changed hands. ”

"Ah, didn't you say that your father donated the house eight years ago and restored the name of Wang Tang's former residence?"

"This house, no one knows how it got to our Cheng family.

My dad's generation didn't ask my grandfather back then, and my grandfather is now demented, and we don't dare to take it seriously.

All in all, this house has been in the hands of our Cheng family, if not a hundred years, but seventy or eighty years.

Therefore, the man on duty said that the descendants of the Wang family married a famous Huangmei opera master Yunyun, which is just the history of the descendants of the Wang family, and has nothing to do with the designation of this house.

Perhaps, it was the Qing Dynasty official who married a famous Huangmei opera artist who sold his ancestral property, or perhaps, his elders had already sold it.

In short, the famous artist of Huangmei Opera, I guess I have never lived in this house at all.

At most, she knew that this house was related to her husband.

Then my grandfather sold the house in the new millennium. ”

"Your family is so rich, why did you sell this kind of old house?" Xu Wanting was very surprised, and interrupted Cheng Yu's words regardless of it.

But then he said, "Oh, no, didn't your father donate this house? Why was it sold? Why do you get more confused the more you talk about it?"

"You've asked that question before, but you'll have to wait for me to get there. ”

Xu Wanting stuck out her tongue, smiled like a child, and said apologetically, "I shouldn't have interrupted you, you said." ”

Cheng Yu nodded and continued: "Why does my grandfather want to sell the old house, this is not something I can care about, and I don't need to care.

The house is his, and it is his business that he wants to sell it.

Anyway, when I was less than three years old, my grandfather sold the house.

That's why I said I should have lived in the house, but I didn't have any impression of that. ”

Xu Wanting grinned and said, "Then it seems that you are not a genius this day, and you can't remember anything about the three-year-old." ”

Cheng Yu smiled helplessly and said, "Some people may still have an impression of what happened when they were two or three years old, but I don't have much anyway." That's why I wanted to go into that yard and have a look. I wonder if I can have some memories after I go in. ”

Xu Wanting immediately made an inquiring expression, Cheng Yu shook his head, and said regretfully: "But it doesn't seem to be useful, I turned around, and I didn't have anything to recall."

When my grandfather was selling the house, he met a broker, and my grandfather thought it was the broker who bought the house, but in fact, it was a Hong Kong customer who bought it.

My father and two uncles didn't know about my grandfather's sale of the house, and the old man refused to say anything, and they didn't want to ask.

But it seems that this house is related to our family, and at a chance drinking party, my father met the son of a Hong Kong guest who bought my old house.

Then my father approached the Hong Kong visitor and persuaded him to sell the house back to our family.

Of course, the price has increased N times, and my father also bought back the house at the market price.

Perhaps the government at that time also realized that this is a historic mansion, as you have just seen, although it has been eroded and repaired several times by wind and rain, but the house still maintains the typical architectural style of Jiangnan in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

I guess Wang Tang should have demolished this mansion and rebuilt it in situ, because it was completely the style of an official mansion in the Ming and Qing dynasties, not the style of a large family's courtyard.

So, my father eventually decided to donate the house to the government and spent money on the construction of a whole park around the house. ”

Xu Wanting opened her mouth wide: "My God, this house would have cost tens of millions seven or eight years ago, right?"

And this park, then you can't invest hundreds of millions?

At this scale, it's impossible to make money, right?"

The fake Lori had already crossed her fingers to calculate how much the storefronts she had walked all the way were worth.

Cheng Yu smiled and said, "Don't forget it, the storefront rent of this park is enough to maintain the expenses of this park."

In order to maintain the purity of traditional culture, some shops have no rent at all, and the prices of these teahouses are also very low.

Otherwise, with such a light business, what will the tenants of these shops do to make money?"

Xu Wanting put down her fingers, nodded again and again, and said, "That's true, I just think that if you follow the old ways, you can't make money at all." How much money did your family invest in this park?"

"My dad said it's less than 500 million. ”

"Eight years ago, 500 million, tsk, your family is really inhuman!"

In this regard, Cheng Yu only smiled, after all, Cheng Guangnian's net worth can indeed be called inhuman.

At this time, an old man and an old gentleman who was speaking vernacular on the stage just now walked quickly towards the two.

Cheng Yu took a moment and knew that the conversation between him and Xu Wanting was probably heard by the guy and told the owner of the teahouse.

After the two old men came over, sure enough, as soon as they gave up their hands, the first thing they said was: "Dare to ask if the distinguished guest is Cheng Dong's son?"

Cheng Yu also hurriedly stood up and arched his hand: "Two old gentlemen, happy New Year." My surname is Cheng, and you know my father?"

"It's really Cheng Dong's son......" The old gentleman who spoke in the vernacular suddenly became excited, stepped forward and grabbed Cheng Yu's hand, trembling and said: "Cheng Dong is busy, and the little old man has no chance to meet him." However, everyone who engages in folk art here is grateful to Cheng Dong. It's a matter of heart to see Childe today. ”

Cheng Yu raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Old man, ...... are you?"

"Our teahouse has actually been in a state of loss, although Mr. Li doesn't care if it is profitable or not, but after all, he is also operating with a coffin.

And if there is no teahouse, we artists are afraid that there will be no base.

Thanks to Cheng Dong, he not only exempted the rent of the teahouse, but even subsidized some from time to time, especially the salary and labor of our artists.

Cheng Dong is a caring person, and there are not many entrepreneurs who can still support folk art. ”

Mr. Li should be the owner of this teahouse.

Cheng Yu didn't expect that Cheng Guangnian had been helping to maintain the original flavor of this park all these years, and it was no wonder that there was no commercial atmosphere in the entire park.

"I don't know much about this, my father did things and rarely explained them to his family. ”

As he spoke, a familiar voice sounded outside.

"Cheng Yu, are you really here, someone made a small report to me, saying that you are picking up girls here...... Hey, you ......."

Cheng Yu and Xu Wanting looked back, and Du Xiaoyu walked in wearing a fiery red coat.

Du Xiaoyu was also stunned when he saw Cheng Yu and Xu Wanting talking to the two old gentlemen, one of whom was still wearing a long shirt.

Cheng Yu muttered in his heart, how did Du Xiaoyu know that he was here? And said that someone made a small report, it should be impossible for anyone in this teahouse to know him, and he happened to know Du Xiaoyu so coincidentally, right?

"Sorry, this is clumsy. ”
