Father can be an enemy to the country
Chapter 99 A bigger stage
Not surprisingly, this performance of "Happy Forest" was once again a great success.
This scene cost a full nine-guan admission fee, but 30% had to be given to the City God Temple. But the temple minister who had gone all out to invite them was laughing so hard that his mouth was filled with laughter.
After taking into account the hard-earned money given to the younger brothers, what finally fell into the hands of the brothers was a few thousand dollars.
The income from this one scene alone is enough for the brothers to eat three meals a day, two dry and one thin, until the autumn harvest.
But people’s needs are never-ending, and they need to eat well after they are full.
My brothers will no longer go to the town to buy groceries and cook them at home like they did when they were first performing arts.
Now, they take their younger brothers to eat out in the county town!
The lobby of Dongjia Restaurant on East Street. The Hong family class occupied five Eight Immortals tables.
The table was filled with chicken, duck and fish, and the store's homemade soju was available for drinking.
Zhang Hu and a group of younger brothers took turns to persuade them to drink. Zhu Xi and Zhu Di both liked this drink, so they would not refuse anyone who came.
A group of people were shouting and playing wildly, and the noise was so loud that it could knock off the roof.
After drinking until he was in high spirits, Zhu Di put his arms around Zhang Hu's neck, laughed loudly at the younger brothers and said, "How is it? How is it better than before?"
"That's so much better!" All the co-stars laughed hurriedly: "From collecting protection fees on the street, I don't get much money, and I get poked in the spine all day long. Everyone avoids me."
"Now I make more money, and everyone likes me. When I see you, I take the initiative to ask when the next show is and can you bring them in?"
"That's not possible." Zhang Hu, who was responsible for checking tickets at the door, immediately glared and said: "It is our principle to enter with a ticket. Without a ticket, even the King of Heaven will not be able to enter!"
"Hahaha, okay!" Zhu Di raised the wine bowl and touched it with him: "With our Brother Hu guarding the door, our brothers will not work in vain!"
"Hahaha!" The brothers also cheered and toasted, and Zhang Hu laughed and drank it all.
Amid the applause, Zhang Hu gave Zhu Di a thumbs up and said:
"Fourth Master, you are really awesome, you brought Wu Song to life! No, you are Wu Song!"
"Yes, Fourth Master is Wu Erlang!" The younger brothers agreed one after another.
"Well, it's mainly because of our sixth child." Zhu Di patted Zhu Zhen's head lovingly. "When Guan Hanqing is this old, I don't think he can compare to my brother!"
Zhu Zhen was holding a pig's trotter and chewing it until his mouth was shiny. Hearing this, he wiped his mouth carelessly with his fourth brother's sleeve and said:
"No, I'm just Shi Naian's porter. The main reason is that the fourth brother is awesome and a born horner. If Xie had been born a few hundred years later, Jackie Chan would have nothing to do."
"Who is Jackie Chan?" Zhu Di was confused, but he was used to Lao Liu's nonsense. A genius playwright must have different thinking than ordinary people. Maybe he is imagining some new plot in his mind.
Zhu Zhen didn't bother to explain and continued to eat fiercely.
He vowed to gain back the fat he had lost.
Damn it, I will never lose weight to please my father again. He doesn't deserve it!
Damn it, I just want to be fat like this, fat as much as I want, what the hell do you care!
Scumbag father!
~~
Everyone in the Hong family class drank until the sun went down, and it ended only when everyone was full and drunk.
Zhu Xi took out the money bag from his robe, slapped it heavily on the table, and said proudly:
"Yes, I will make the account!"
This was his favorite moment, second only to being praised by General Xu.
"No, no need." The shopkeeper didn't give him this chance. He pointed upstairs and said with a smile, "That customer has already settled."
Zhu Di smiled proudly when he heard this. This was a common thing after he became famous.
Jiao'er, there are people holding it everywhere.
But he couldn't just leave without saying a word. He had to go over to say thank you and see if they wanted an autograph or something... This was the self-cultivation of famous actors that Lao Liu told him.
He asked his brothers to walk slowly while he held on to the stairs and staggered up to express his thanks.
The child led him to a single room, knocked on the door and opened the door: "That's the old man inside."
Zhu Di nodded and went in to see that the person paying for him was a little old man with a goatee who looked like a teacher.
He cupped his fists and said thank you smoothly.
Goatee smiled and invited him to sit down, poured him a glass of wine and said, "Brothers of the Hong family, don't be polite. Firstly, I want to make friends here, and secondly, I want to discuss a big business with you."
"What business?" Zhu Di asked.
"Our boss, who is quite powerful in Zhongdu City, likes your drama very much and would like to invite you to sing in the temple fair in Zhongdu City." Goatee Beard did not beat around the bush.
"We performed well in Linhuai, why are we going to Zhongzhong? If you want to watch a show, just come here." Zhu Di's first reaction was to refuse.
"I blame me for not making it clear. It's our boss who pays for everyone to watch the show. We pay ten taels a day. We pay a three-day deposit first and we'll see the effect later."
"Ten taels..." Zhu Di's throat trembled. They had a full house at the Chenghuang Temple, and they could make a net profit of five or six taels in a single game.
This time the income doubled. And the key audience members don’t have to pay, and there will definitely be a huge crowd by then. This will definitely greatly increase the popularity of Hongjiaban.
Lao Liu once told him that reputation is more important than money in this business. As reputation grows, money will follow.
But Zhu Di was not someone who gets confused easily, and said in deep thought: "Thank you for your kindness, we can't leave Linhuai for too long."
"Why?" Goatee asked.
"We still have land at home, we can't leave it unused." Zhu Di said seriously.
"Hahahaha, brother is joking, you can earn ten taels a day, why else farm?" Goatee laughed.
"You don't understand, you can't lose your duty." Zhu Di shook his head.
Goatee sneered in his heart, it was just an excuse to bargain. Then he stretched out his hand and said: "Add another five taels, and it will be fifteen taels a day!"
"It's not about money." Zhu Di shook his head and said, "You really don't understand."
"I admire you!" After some testing, Goatee finally believed that this was his sincerity, and couldn't help but said in awe: "Brother is a pure character, and he never forgets his true heart. He will definitely have great potential in the future, and he will definitely become... a famous actor. "
He heard that actors all have their own weird tempers. For example, Xiao Yunqi, who played Dou E's injustice in Qian Yuan, liked to grind tofu the most.
Zhu Di smiled faintly. He didn't want to explain, and he couldn't explain it.
Could you tell Goatee that the rice in that field was grown by the prince, and every grain is valuable?
People don’t believe it even if I say it.
But sometimes people are mean. The more he pushes out, the more the other party wants him.
Not only did he get a raise of twenty-two cents a day, but he also promised to arrange a carriage for him at any time if he wanted to go home.
"Jinqiaokan is just across the river from Fengyang County. You can take a carriage back from there. It will be faster than walking home from the county seat." Goatee advised.
"Okay, I'll go back and discuss it with my brothers." Finally, under his kind persuasion, Zhu Di relaxed and said, "I'll let you know when I come back to perform next time."
"Okay, wait for the good news." Goatee was overjoyed, but suddenly felt that he seemed to have been tricked...
