Chapter 449: Turmoil
"Brother Yang, the buckwheat pancakes in their store are particularly delicious, do you want a piece?"
Yang Youcai looked down on them and reached out to take out a buckwheat pancake; "You people hurry up and watch it, if the young master is injured, you won't be able to eat and walk around. Look...... Speaking of this, his eyebrows suddenly raised: "This buckwheat pancake is delicious." ”
Saying that, he took the oiled paper bag that wrapped the buckwheat pancakes: "A few of you quickly look at the situation around the young master, you know that you will eat, and if you eat it, you will grow fat, and how can you rush over the wall." ”
The surrounding brothers looked helpless, and the official was crushed to death, and quickly stuffed the buckwheat pancakes in his hands into his mouth, and then observed the situation around him.
Cheng Xiaolian was holding a pack of buckwheat pancakes in his hand: "That little second said that the street is full of shadow puppet shows, why haven't you seen any of them so far?" ”
A person next to him heard a laugh: "This little brother is from out of town, right?" The lanterns and shadows can only be seen in the garden, and there are people coming and going on this street, and there is no way to support the stalls and collect cash. People want to be more and the road is blocked, so they found a garden, and now they are all earning money by their skills, if the performance is not good, no one will listen to it next time. ”
"Thank you for this big brother, dare to ask where is the garden of the lantern and shadow play?" Cheng Xiaolian stopped talking about shadow puppetry, and began to talk about lantern shadow play as the locals followed.
"You are the right person, follow this road all the way, walk three hundred steps, and the place where two big red lanterns are hung at the gate of the courtyard is the garden."
According to the person's statement, they really found the garden, an old man at the door sat by the door, selling bamboo chips, that is, carved pieces with bamboo, there are patterns on it, it is an anti-counterfeiting mark, bought bamboo chips at the door, and you can choose your favorite field to sit down and watch the shadow puppet show when you enter the door.
"This master, I want a few bamboo chips."
"Dare to ask this old man, how much silver does it cost to charter the lighting of the lantern and shadow show."
When the old man heard this, he immediately stood up, knowing that this was a big customer, and a smile appeared on his face: "Two taels of silver for a literary drama, and one or two halves for a martial arts drama." ”
Why is it so sold, this martial arts drama is what Changbanpo single-handedly rides the savior, and the Yang family will be the Golden Beach Double Dragon Club, mainly based on the skills in hand, plus the drumbeat of the supporting play can be performed in one game. What is the main thing about this literary opera, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, the West Chamber, there are not many movements in the hands, mainly singing, since this Huanxian County is born in shadow puppetry, there are many people who can play shadow puppetry, but there are not many people who can sing, so literary opera is generally more expensive than martial arts.
Cheng Xiaolian stretched out his hand and took out two taels of silver: "Point out the West Chamber." Saying that, he turned around and looked at Wen Du Ruo: "Today, people may not be able to play the West Chamber, even if they do, we may not be able to see the beginning, anyway, it is not easy for us to come to Huanxian County, so we will package a game." ”
Yang Youcai and they also bought bamboo chips into the garden, he naturally would not sit beside Cheng Xiaolian in a bad way, so he has been strolling around the garden, they will naturally watch any shadow puppet shows, and they must always be vigilant when they come out to do things, just as although everyone eats buckwheat pancakes, no one drinks a drop of Maling rice wine.
Generally, people who come to charter the venue will make specific arrangements, which team can grab this charter to perform, and make more money than usual, but the owner of the garden also has rules, and every month according to the number of bamboo chips sold to evaluate the champion, the leader, and the flower. Generally, the first charter of the month is the shadow puppet champion who sells the most bamboo chips to sing, and then divides it in turn. But only for the top three, only in this way can the guests who charter the venue see the best shadow puppetry, and they can also make them want to charter the venue when they come to the garden again.
So for Cheng Xiaolian, they played the top shadow puppets in this garden, and soon Zhang Sheng appeared in a long shirt and boots, with a Confucian hat on his head, Cheng Xiaolian didn't have the ability to charter a scene to watch shadow puppets in later generations, but he only watched it from afar, so he also saw it well.
At this time, there was a sudden noise: "Lao Tzu doesn't care, Lao Tzu wants to watch the Wu family's lantern and shadow show." ”
Cheng Xiaolian frowned, turned around and saw that several strong men in the garden had already surrounded a drunkard in the middle, and an old man walked out, took a look, and spit on the ground: "Do you really dare not do anything to you in our family?" ”
"If it weren't for my father, you people would have been killed cleanly, and now you still have a good face to do it against me, you beat me, beat me to death to see that your conscience is not at peace? My dad won't let you go. ”
"I'm bah, your son did die for the father of Huanxian County, but these years you have been walking sideways in Huanxian County, eating and drinking for nothing, watching the lantern and shadow plays, which family said a word, a few days ago you did such a thing, you have already consumed the love cleanly, from today on, if you don't take out the silver, I see which one dares to let you in to watch the lantern and shadow play."
Speaking of this, he waved his hand: "Drag him out, don't delay the old and young masters to watch the lantern and shadow play." ”
Soon several big men around him pulled him outside, and Wen Du Ruo laughed: "Why didn't you come out." ”
"I don't know how many such things there are in the world, if I interfere in everything, it won't take long for me to die of exhaustion, and besides, the owner of the garden is fair, let's not make trouble for others."
Who knew that within half an hour, there was a commotion at the door, at this time the West Chamber was performing to the wonderful place, Cheng Xiaolian pouted: "It's really strange things every day, there are a lot of them today, if the garden is so noisy, who would still want to come here to watch the lantern show." ”
The drunkard rushed in with a bunch of people just now: "Don't let Lao Tzu watch the lantern show, Lao Tzu will smash your garden for you." ”
The old man who spoke just now was not afraid at all, and sneered: "I want to see what you dogs who can't get on the stage can do." Saying that, he turned around and shouted back: "Old and young masters, I won't play today, how many bamboo chips have you taken, and all the silver will be returned, I will eliminate this evil for our county!" ”
Most of the people who go out to do business are kind and wealthy, and there are few who are willing to cause trouble, but the owner of this garden is different, he is a local tyrant, otherwise he can't open this garden, and now he is beaten to the door If he doesn't kill chickens and monkeys, then the garden will not have a stable life in the future.
Cheng Xiaolian frowned: "These people are too annoying, they don't let people watch a good shadow puppet show, they disturb people's interest, and they have no quality." ”
"What is the absence of qualities?"
"It's this person who is annoying to do things, and the dog is disgusting."
