Chapter 1580

~8 min read 1,459 words

Little Yang wanted everything, and the grandmother and maternal grandmother were staring at those opera selections, wanting everything too.

The last time someone came to the village to perform was more than twenty years ago, a rural promotion; that time there were magicians and jugglers!

After one night, the old ladies in the village bought two or three thousand yuan worth of health supplements!

Two or three thousand yuan back then was worth a lot. The villagers figured they were all here to swindle money, so they decided firmly not to go next time. Later, no one came anymore.

Now, after so many years, the Song family invited an opera troupe. From the moment they started preparing the stage, villagers came over one after another, waving fans. Some even helped pull the sunshade nets, just to get it done quickly so they could listen sooner.

During the holiday, the well-fed troupe members were also full of enthusiasm. Although this morning didn't go smoothly, they had to win some dignity this afternoon! They had to let everyone see what their real strength was!

Those tens of thousands of yuan were truly not a loss at all!

They used 【not a loss】 to comfort themselves, but in reality, the scene caused by Boss Wu this morning not only failed to show off in the village but also led to the fermentation of events throughout the afternoon—

A series of viral keywords, forwards, and likes, and the heat and traffic came surging in.

After all, with so many explosive points, it's hard not to be popular!

At this moment, the employees in the store said that many customers were asking today. If this continues, once people spread the word, will the restaurant still be able to receive big orders?

Just to save those tens of thousands of yuan, and because he couldn't control himself for a moment, the loss for just one day now was more than those tens of thousands!

His chain restaurant does business with local middle-aged and elderly people, but this group of people is the best at scrolling through TikTok, and now there is such heat—

【A certain restaurant boss forcibly breaks into the women's changing room, using the excuse of singing opera to threaten not to pay the final payment...】

I don't know which smart person came up with this title, but it's so good at grasping the heat that anyone passing by can't help but want to click in and see!

Now it's great; for the Dragon Boat Festival dinner today, dozens of tables were canceled in one afternoon!

It's simply outrageous!

After all, in a small city, it relies on word-of-mouth. Now that men, women, old, and young are spreading it, the speed is really fast!

Even if customers who didn't care about this booked, the young people in the family would mutter a few words, and in the end, they would hurriedly cancel again.

After all, the Dragon Boat Festival dinner isn't as hot as the New Year's Eve dinner, and you can book anywhere, so you still have to choose a decent and reliable one.

But these things had nothing to do with the Plum Blossom Opera Troupe. Everyone was enthusiastic, moving props, tidying up the stage, and adjusting fans and ice.

In the backstage, changing clothes, practicing voices, and doing makeup and hair, they were also densely packed together. Fortunately, there were fans and big basins of ice. Although it was a bit stuffy with so many people, it was generally okay.

It really was just okay.

Song Tan just wanted to come over and see the environment, but when she saw a group of people squeezed here, their makeup was soaked through, she hurriedly urged them:

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, tell Master Jiang to send a few more basins of ice—the ice machine shouldn't have stopped, right?"

"Where is Doctor Guo? Prepare a big bucket of heat-relieving tea and throat-clearing tea!"

"Grandma, call my dad and ask him to bring all the air circulation fans from home."

The big fans in the factory before were too loud and had too much wind, which affected the opera singing on stage, so they could only be placed backstage.

With her arrangement, the people in the troupe felt quite comfortable in their hearts when they heard it.

The troupe leader reminded them: "Everyone, cheer up and sing well. I see there are quite a lot of elderly people in the village. Maybe we will have another chance later."

Did he need to say that?

Teacher Ning said lightly: "When have we not been serious?"

"Besides, just for this food, we have to strive to come next time."

Troupe leader:...

Wake up, the village already said that it's rare to have such good ingredients!

Usually, when it's not a holiday, can you eat good things every day?

But, in short, with many miscellaneous items, one by one, they were finally all prepared.

At this moment, the background music slowly sounded on stage. Everyone checked the time; there were still more than ten minutes until five o'clock. Those who drank water drank water, those who tidied up tidied up, and those who reviewed the singing segments continued to review—

Someone went out from the backstage and saw: "So many people!"

There really were a lot of people.

Secretary Xiao Zhu borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha and notified everyone. Basically, everyone in the ten miles and eight villages who had leisure time came.

Originally, according to local customs, on the Dragon Boat Festival, daughters return to their parents' home, and every household is lively at noon.

But now young people bring their families, and the holiday time is short, so they return in the morning and leave in the afternoon in a hurry. Most of them just have lunch.

In this way, aren't they free in the afternoon and evening?

Those who haven't left are now also bringing their children to join in the fun.

Their Yuncheng is a small city, and there is no place for proper performances. Now, the children have never seen such on-site opera performances from childhood to adulthood.

Isn't this a chance to bring them to see it?

Thus, at five o'clock under the sunshade net, the music prelude sounded. Even Seventh Grandma didn't cook tonight and directly moved a small stool to sit in the front row.

There were many elderly people in the village. Some teams were far away, so many people rode motorcycles directly, and others were picked up and dropped off by private cars in the village.

Young people are not interested in opera, but since it was organized, it's fine for everyone to sit together, take pictures, and chat.

Besides, the Song family said they would eat their big buns tonight!

Oh my! That requires 100 jin of flour to be finished in one night!

Everyone remembered the sky-high good things in their house, and the good taste that they couldn't forget after eating it once at the banquet, so they had to wait no matter what!

In short, at this moment, there was a dense crowd under the stage, and there were exceptionally many viewers.

Thus, the good show begins—

The preludes of the jinghu and yueqin blended together, and the long, clear opera singing was so penetrating.

In this hot Dragon Boat Festival season, thick mugwort was burned in the sunshade shed to repel mosquitoes, ward off the five poisons, and keep everyone healthy.

And on the mountain, the employees were busy kneading dough, chopping fillings, and wrapping buns all afternoon. This Dragon Boat Festival with triple wages was really not wasted at all!

By five o'clock, Master Jiang arranged for his apprentices to put the buns in the steamer, and he also hurriedly rushed down the mountain—he hadn't listened to opera properly for decades either!

It wasn't that he liked it particularly, but as he got older, he loved to join in this kind of fun.

And as soon as he left, the employees who were supposed to prepare to leave also hurriedly and sneakily slipped into the cafeteria: "Well, I have a big appetite, and the road is far. Three or five buns won't fill me up. Why not make it ten?"

Although Master Jiang left, the kitchen helper wasn't confused—that's the bad thing about former colleagues; they understand each other too thoroughly!

At this moment, facing his former comrade-in-arms, he was cold and ruthless:

"It takes three hours by high-speed rail from your home to here. Are you eating two meals in three hours?"

"Also, the rule is that each person can take at most four—there are so many people! If everyone wants ten, we'll have to wrap them all night!"
