Chapter 214 Once you come, you don’t want to leave
The conversation of the family of four gradually faded away, but it successfully attracted the attention of Cheng En's family. Fang even grabbed her husband, her eyes full of eagerness to try.
Just then, Lu Fang came back with a flower basket filled with drinks and colorful ice creams in exquisite bamboo bowls. He was about to share them with his family when Fang impatiently asked her son.
"Fang'er, what's the story behind the flooding of Jinshan Mountain? Why did I hear from people who saw it that there was really water? Son, I'm really curious, why don't we go and see the flooding of Jinshan Mountain next? Okay?"
When Lu Fang heard this, he thought about how he had gone through so many hardships and setbacks to build the venue for the Flooding of Jinshan Mountain, and how many times he had openly and secretly scolded Li Yaoguang. Lu Fang also felt that the Flooding of Jinshan Mountain was something he had to see.
The whole family just happened to look at him with anticipation on their faces. Of course, Can Ge'er's wishes were not important. Lu Fang simply nodded, skipped several venues that his family had not entered yet, and took his family directly to the Shuiman Jinshan Pavilion.
They all have gold-stamped VIP tickets in their hands, so they don't have to queue up like with ordinary invitations. They can go through the VIP channel without any obstruction with their golden invitations. When enjoying the music inside, their seats are naturally the best in the venue.
Sitting in the VIP seat in the middle of the venue, Lu Fang distributed oil-paper clothes to his family members and asked them to put them on. He looked at the wide view in front of him with satisfaction, and thought to himself that it was worth it for him to argue with that little bitch Li Yaoguang to separate the ordinary tickets into VIP tickets. You see, isn't this convenient for him?
Hahaha!
When he thought about the fact that these plays would have to be replaced in three months at most after they lost their novelty, and that he could not only listen to but also watch more wonderful stories, Lu Fang expressed unprecedented physical and mental pleasure.
After watching the show "The Flood at Jinshan Mountain", the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law Fang and He Wanniang behaved just like the woman just now. They were still frightened, excited and surprised. In short, the show "The Flood at Jinshan Mountain" brought them an extraordinary shock, and the whole family became more and more curious about the remaining plays that they had not watched.
We got up early in the morning and entered the venue, and now the sun was setting. I followed my son to the VIP seats of the big stage by the West Lake to watch a water show. Then a shout was heard from the tall building that there would be a night parade of floats.
All the guests were immediately attracted and wanted to see the so-called night parade of floats. Lu Fang led Cheng En and his family to the second floor of a shop selling souvenirs. They sat in private seats that occupied an absolute height and watched a parade composed of actors from all the venues in the pavilion. Everyone was dazzled and left wanting more.
Even when the lights were just coming on, the Little Red Riding Hoods and Little Blue Riding Hoods were still on the roadside leading and directing people, informing them of the closing time and asking them to leave in an orderly manner. The crowds who had had so much fun did not want to leave.
Everyone looked back every few steps, savoured the food in their mouths, stepped on the silk, and reluctantly followed the octagonal lanterns at their feet and above their heads towards the exit of the middle door, secretly making up their minds to come again tomorrow.
Those who are not short of money plan to buy tickets and bring their whole family to relax;
Those who don't have money don't need to worry. There will be an event in the first three days of opening. They will bring their families tomorrow morning and chase the kids who are distributing invitations on the streets. They must get another invitation to come in and play.
This feeling was actually shared by everyone in Lord Cheng'en's mansion. Looking at his old wife who was reluctant to leave him, Lord Cheng'en couldn't help but turn his gaze to his second son.
The look was so straightforward that there was no need to say more. When Lu Fang saw it, he quickly raised his hands to beg for mercy and said that he would also pay for tomorrow's ticket.
Lu Fang was overjoyed to receive praise and thanks from his parents, elder brother and sister-in-law, his annoying younger brother, and even his little nephew. However, he didn't know that secretly, he was hoping that everyone would keep coming.
After all, only in this way can we increase their popularity as quickly as possible as the stinky girl said, and it will also fully demonstrate the success of their Xinhaige, and everyone’s efforts are not in vain!
Well, it's decided. If possible, he also wants to send a few invitations to the palace. Although his uncle, the emperor, is not a very good person, if he can come, then their Xinhai Pavilion... Lu Fang is happy just thinking about it. As the flow of people gradually dispersed, the owners left one after another, but the busyness in Xinhai Pavilion did not stop.
There was no need for the foreman to give orders. Everyone who had already received systematic professional training and exercises performed their duties. Some swept the floor, some tidied the stage, some put away the props... Everyone worked together, with smiles on their faces, and was busy but not chaotic.
After distributing the invitations, the beggars came back in the afternoon. Most of them received their daily wages of 100 coins and left early, but a few of them stayed to help out because the place was so busy. Among them was the boy named Fengnian who delivered the invitations to the scholars.
Fengnian cherished this job which paid him 300 coins for delivering letters in three days. He was grateful to the owner of Xinhai Pavilion for his kindness, who not only did not look down on beggars but also gave them new clothes.
Fengnian knows how to be grateful. He has been helping in the pavilion since the afternoon and has been cleaning up since then. Although he has not done much, he has tried his best to do what he can. When the work was done and everyone dispersed, the child turned around and was about to go home, but was stopped by the foreman.
The child didn't understand, but he didn't dare to disobey, for fear that he would not perform well and lose his job the next day.
Following the foreman with his neck shrunk, the child discovered that the companions who stayed behind to help were led to the bright lobby, and surrounded by the familiar figures who were busy just now. The child was puzzled, but saw that the back door of the lobby was wide open, and many people in snow-white gowns and snow-white hats pushed out several carts, and on the carts were pots of hot and fragrant meals.
"This is?"
The foreman who called him laughed, patted Fengnian on the shoulder and explained.
"Boy, although you are not formal employees of Xinhai Pavilion, since you have helped with the work, you should have the benefits. This is our employee meal and snacks, you are also entitled to a share, hurry up and line up."
When the little beggars heard this, their eyes widened. Fengnian pointed at the pots of food in disbelief.
"Big brother, such delicious food, can we eat it too?"
The foreman was amused and handed the child the ceramic multi-grid plate they were used to using. "Why can't you eat it?"
“This is meat!”
"Ha, what's wrong with the meat? This is just the beginning! Don't worry, kids. The owners of Xinhai Pavilion are all kind people. As long as we work hard and are loyal and not lazy, this is nothing.
I am not afraid to tell you that this is just a midnight snack given by the boss out of consideration for us, fearing that we may not be able to digest food at night, so there is only one meat dish and two vegetables. If it is lunch or dinner, our working meal would have two meat dishes and three vegetables, plus fruit, oh, and soup, and you can eat as much as you want! As long as we don’t waste anything, the boss won’t say anything.”
The delicious food in front of them seemed to have hooks. The words of the foreman were so incredible and attractive to these displaced little beggars. They dared not even dream of it...
