"You want to ask him where this desiccant is made, right?"

Zhang Xilu's expression was a little unnatural.

Han Chunlei also noticed Zhang Xilu's strange appearance and asked, "What's the matter?" Brother Xilu, is there anything inconvenient for you?"

"Convenient, nothing inconvenient. Chunlei, you come, I'll tell you here. ”

Zhang Xilu touched his mustache and mysteriously pulled Han Chunlei to another corner of the courtyard.

Seeing this, Ah Can pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "Hmph, still whispering, Zhang Xilu feels more and more capable of it." ”

Ah Xiong also frowned slightly, looking puzzled, don't you just introduce someone? What else can't you say in front of them?

in the corner.

Han Chunlei also felt that this was inappropriate, and said: "Brother Xilu, this is not a trade secret, it is secretive, but it is separated from Brother Xiong." ”

"Hey, I didn't mean that!"

Zhang Xilu scratched his head in embarrassment, and said with a tangled face: "What, Chunlei, don't be angry." I was bragging. This mooncake was given to Ah Hao by someone else. When I came back, Ah Hao gave me a catty, and I brought it back. I...... I don't know any friends from the mooncake factory at all. I just want to show off in front of them. ”

It's been a long time, this guy is bragging!

Han Chunlei really couldn't cry or laugh.

"Okay, okay, don't brag next time, you said that if you talked about this from Ah Xiong Ah Chan just now, how embarrassing would it be?" Han Chunlei shook his head and said.

Zhang Xilu smiled, "That's why I dragged you over here." ”

Han Chunlei asked, "Then can you help me find Ah Hao a favor and ask him to introduce me to the friend who knows him from the moon cake factory?"

"This can, of course it can! Ah Hao must give me this face!" Zhang Xilu responded.

Han Chunlei asked, "Didn't brag this time?"

"Uh......"

Zhang Xilu turned his head and thought about it, feeling that he couldn't talk too much, otherwise he would be embarrassed again, and said: "I'll go back to the dance hall tonight and ask Ah Hao first, it should be no problem!"

Han Chunlei snorted, "Let's go, let's go over and continue eating." ”

"Then you can't tell them that I... What did I ...... just now," Zhang Xilu swallowed.

Han Chunlei patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, save face for you, okay?"

The two returned to the lychee tree and ate and drank.

Han Chunlei said a few beautiful words for Zhang Xilu, relieving the little mustard that Brother Xiong and Ah Chan had just now.

They both waved their hands and said forget it, forget it.

Han Chunlei said with a smile: "This guy has made some money in the dance hall recently, his wallet is fat, and the people are also floating, next time let him have a treat, we will all slaughter him!"

Ah Chan was the first to say yes!

Zhang Xilu patted his trouser pocket proudly and said, "Please please, it's not that you can't afford to please, I said don't wait for next time." Why don't you invite everyone to dance in our ballroom tonight? Chunlei, you also know Ah Hao by the way, what is the matter, you can talk about it yourself?"

When Han Chunlei heard it, this was a good proposal.

Ah Chan also said happily: "Okay! It's so big, I haven't seen what a dance hall is like!"

Ah Xiong thought about it, nodded and said, "It's been two months since you and Ah Qiang partnered to open a dance hall, and I haven't been there once, and this guy didn't say invite me to go once!"

"Then you have wronged Brother Qiang. ”

Zhang Xilu explained for Ah Qiang: "He said, you know all day long around Sister Hong, even if you are invited to play in a sedan chair, you may not come!"

Ah Xiong's old face flushed: "Uh, too." ”

However, Ah Xiong's mother suddenly clubbed Ah Xiong with her elbow, spoke in Hakka, and said:

"Boy, it's good to go dancing, there are a lot of girls in the dance hall, you can also go and scare your eyes!"

This is a different kind of old days, she definitely doesn't approve of her son going to a dance hall where fish and shrimp are mixed. However, the lesser of two powers, if Ah Xiong can meet a few girls in the dance hall, it is better than thinking about the widowed Ah Hong, right?

Ah Xiong: "Okay, then tonight we will also touch the light of Brother Xilu and go to the dance hall together." ”

Zhang Xilu waved his hand, and his face was full of spirit: "All come, all come, tonight's consumption, I Zhang Xilu pays!"

The word "paying" is also something he learned from Ah Hao recently, especially in front of girls, which is particularly majestic.

......

A practical lunch, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, everyone drank a lot, and after a nap and woke up to drink, they all helped Ah Can move, and it was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon after surviving.

After dinner, as soon as it was dark, Han Chunlei and the others had already arrived at the door of the dance hall.

Zhang Xilu opened a dance hall not far from Dongmen Market, in the basement of an old building.

The entrance to the ballroom is very simple, there is not even a sign, only Cuong guards a table and sells tickets.

If Zhang Xilu hadn't brought them over, it would have been really difficult to find this place.

But if you think about it, it's not surprising that the door is so shabby and low-key.

After all, a year ago, dancing was considered a "decadent way of life for the bourgeoisie."

Although the policy has been loosened and people are allowed to dance, there is no official document that says that commercial dance halls are allowed.

Therefore, all dance halls now belong to the gray area, and opening a dance hall is equivalent to dancing in shackles, and it cannot be too ostentatious.

"Chunlei, Ah Xiong, Ah Chan, why are you all here?" Ah Qiang was full of surprise.

Han Chunlei and Ah Xiong greeted each other.

"Of course I invited them. ”

Zhang Xilu neatly took out a big unity from his pocket and said happily: "It's rare that they are free today, I invite them to come over and dance." Come, Brother Qiang, three tickets!"

"Okay!" Ah Qiang took over the great unity and bowed his head to give Zhang Xilu change.

Zhang Xilu asked, "Is Brother Hao here?"

Cuong shook his head: "Not yet." But it's Saturday, and business is the best on weekends this week, so he'll definitely come over tonight. ”

"That's good, I'm looking for Brother Hao. You meet Brother Hao and talk to him. ”

"Well, I can't forget it. Ah Qiang stuffed the change money to Zhang Xilu.

Zhang Xilu scattered another cigarette for Ah Qiang, and then led Han Chunlei and them into the dance hall.

This place is said to be a basement, but in fact, strictly speaking, it is a half-sunken bomb shelter.

Half of the space is still on the ground, and the height inside is not bad, so I don't feel depressed when I walk in.

Han Chunlei walked all the way, looking around all the way.

To say, even before he was reborn, he had never been to a dance hall. Because the times are developing, entertainment is progressing, and the development of the dance hall to his time has almost been submerged in the long river of history. Instead, bars, discos, KTVs, night clubs.

However, he has also seen dance halls in the eighties and nineties in some TV series, and he doesn't know anything.

The dance hall that Zhang Xilu and them built in front of him was really a little shabby in his opinion.

A group of them, down the steps, first saw a white wall, on the white wall with red paint written "Tianle Song and Dance Hall" five words, this is the signboard of the dance hall.

There is also a small wooden sign hanging under the signboard, which reads four big words: Ladies are free tickets!

Going around this white wall, there is an open area.

There are some tables and chairs around for guests to rest. In addition, there is a dance floor the size of half a basketball court, with a few lights in the four corners of the dance floor, and a few sparse colored paper latte art hanging in the center.

What a shabby ballroom.

But this is the prototype of mainland entertainment venues.

In this field, the only thing Han Chunlei didn't understand was that there seemed to be something scattered on the ground on the dance floor, a white expanse.

After walking through it, you can get a lot of it on the soles.

He asked, "Brother Xilu, what is this white thing?"

"It's talcum powder, haven't you seen it?"

Zhang Xilu said a little proudly, "This dance has requirements for the ground on this dance floor, which is smooth and elastic." For example, if you dance fast, the ground must be slippery enough, otherwise you won't be able to jump at all. In order to achieve a smooth floor, our dance hall often sprinkles talcum powder on the dance floor. I heard Brother Hao say that the dance halls abroad use oiled wooden floors, so dancing is called energetic!"

"I see!"

Han Chunlei rubbed the ground with his foot, and it was really slippery: "So, sprinkling talcum powder on the ground is also your brother Hao's idea?"

"Of course. Hey, Brother Hao is also the same as Chunlei you, both are well-informed and full of ideas. The last time I mentioned the idea of 'free tickets for ladies' that you said, he immediately adopted it, and said that it was definitely a golden idea to make a fortune! Sure enough, in the first few days of our opening, there were more than one customer, and it was too late, and there was no place to stand on the dance floor!"

"This idea was come up with Chunlei? I just passed by the hanging sign, and I was still wondering what it meant!" Ah Can interjected, "Why are women free of charge?

Zhang Xilu said with a smile: "It turns out that you have earned more! Because there is more meat, there can be less wolves?"

"Uh......" Ah Can pondered for a moment before he reacted: "Understood! Chunlei is really a genius, he can come up with such a method!"

Ah Xiong suddenly remembered that in Ah Hong's shop before, Han Chunlei proposed the idea of meal coupons, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "This is called eating a small loss and making a big bargain!

"Ladies are free of charge, then I'll bring Xiaofang to scrub next time!" Ah Can scratched his head and smiled. Xiaofang is the girlfriend of the factory girl in other places.

"Be careful of your sister scolding you!"

"Just don't let my sister know!"

"Haha, we have a lot of pretty boys here, be careful to come a few times, Xiaofang was soaked away by the pretty boys......"

"Get out, Zhang Xilu!"

"Hahaha......"

......

A few people fought for a while, and the dance hall began to be filled with people one after another.

Inside and outside the dance floor, the atmosphere gradually became lively.

“...... There is a beautiful flower in the world, it is the youth spit out the fragrance, the hard bones bloom, and the drops of blood stain it red. There is a heroic flower in the world, that is the glory of youth, the flower carries relatives to the high mountain, and stands up to the sky to welcome the colorful glow......"

Accompanied by Li Guyi's singing, the colorful lights in the dance hall flickered and colorful, and men and women walked together, entering the center of the dance floor and dancing.

Zhang Xilu was also busy at this time, constantly greeting guests.

Ah Chan couldn't hold it back, and itched Ah Xiong to dance together.

However, Ah Xiong ruthlessly refused on the grounds that the dancing of the two men was boring.

Han Chunlei was accustomed to seeing the "big world" of later generations, but he didn't have the urge to dance on the dance floor, he sat there quietly and waited for Ah Hao to come.

Finally, it was eight o'clock and almost nine o'clock.

Zhang Xilu brought a young man who was less than thirty years old to Han Chunlei's table.

The other party is tall and stout, with long flowing hair, a bat shirt on the top, bell bottoms, and a large gold ring on his hand.

"Chunlei, let me introduce to you, this is the major shareholder of our Tianle Song and Dance Hall, Brother Hao! Brother Hao, these good friends of me and Ah Qiang, Ah Xiong, Ah Can, and Chunlei. The music sounded in the dance hall, and Zhang Xilu could only introduce it in a loud voice.

"Hello everyone, my name is Wu Guohao! ”

Ah Hao stretched out his hand and shook hands with the three of them.

When it was time to shake hands with Han Chunlei, he suddenly became enthusiastic, his voice was a little louder, and he said: "Brother Chunlei, I have known you for a long time, and I have wanted to know you for a long time!"
