Entertaining Children

  Chapter 767 Singing in a bar

  The planned itinerary for the next day is from Taiyuan to Xi’an. The journey was more than a hundred kilometers longer than the previous day, but because the departure time was earlier than the previous day, even though it took more than an hour on the road, everyone arrived in Xi'an smoothly around dinner time.

  As the day before, everyone entered Xi’an, looking for a place to stay and have dinner. Xi'an was originally a big city, but now it is the off-season for tourism after the Spring Festival. It is easy to find a hotel that can accommodate a dozen people. In order to facilitate unified operations, everyone lived in the same hotel.

  Everyone came from Xiaoyao. They all stayed in a hotel. Naturally, everyone had a dinner together. Xiao Yao and his party have a total of 13 people. The number is not too large. If you want a private room in a restaurant, you can sit down with a big round table. The place is not difficult to find.

   "Xiao Yao, what do you pronounce this word?" After the waiter brought the menu, she went out of the private room to prepare tea. A female fan asked Xiao Yao enthusiastically holding the menu.

  "Biangbiang noodles." Xiao Yao replied with a smile, "This is a traditional noodle dish from Shaanxi. Would you like to order this? If you order it, remember to order it with oily and spicy noodles. This spicy noodle is delicious."

   "I just want to test you, do you really know?" The female fan was surprised.

   "We Xiao Yao is really a master of learning. I won the championship in the "Conference of Ancient Poetry". I even know this word. Do you want to stump him?" A male fan sitting next to him laughed.

"Do you recognize this word and is it a masterful student? How many books have you read is not directly related?" The female fan glared at the male fan beside her, and simply turned over the menu in her hand and continued. , "Since you also know each other, would you write?"

   "Huh?" The male fan thought for a while, then shook his head, "I just remember it, there are too many strokes, I really can't write it."

   "Where are you Xiao Yao?" The female fan turned to look at Xiao Yao again.

"I remember a local folk rhyme saying how to write this character." Xiao Yao said while gesturing with his hands, "One point flies up to the sky, the Yellow River bends at both ends. The eight-character mouth opens wide, and the words go in the middle. A twist to the left, Twist right, you are long, I am long, and a king of horses is added in the middle. At the bottom of the heart and next to the word, there is a small hook on the mochi and you can take a car to visit Xianyang."

   "Hey, really!" a group of people shouted.

  At this time, not only the female fan, but other people who got the menu also looked at the word on the menu and contrasted with what Xiao Yao said. Even the people next to her also leaned their heads together to watch and compare. When Xiao Yao finished speaking, everyone found that what Xiao Yao said was indeed the writing of that character.

   "Do you really know everything about this enchanting evildoer?" Another female fan, the tour guide, smiled and said, "You must be the one who reads the most among the stars!"

"I don't dare to be that." Xiao Yao smiled and waved his hand. "I'm just a few years old. There are many knowledgeable predecessors in the entertainment industry, like my grandfather and uncle Wang Yuan, I can't compare them. Just now, Wang. My sister is right, it doesn’t matter how many books I have read. I can’t type this word in various input methods. It’s hard to see it when I leave Shaanxi. I know this word, but But it's because I followed my grandfather to Xi'an before."

  As the waiter came in with tea and opened the door, everyone stopped talking and started ordering. This episode passed.

  Xi’an is located in the northwest, and there are many famous special foods. In addition to the biangbiang noodles, everyone also ordered a large table full of specialty foods such as beef and mutton steamed buns, meat sandwiches, Guokui, and candied jujube rice cakes.

  After eating and drinking, everyone also started to discuss evening activities.

  Xi’an was called Chang’an in ancient times. It was one of China’s four ancient capitals. In history, 13 dynasties established their capitals here. It is a world-famous historical and cultural city. Naturally, there are many places to go.

  However, unlike the first time I went to Taiyuan yesterday, Xiao Yao has always been to Xi'an no matter in his previous life or in this life. Especially in this life, Xiao Yao also came to Xi'an when he was a child with Xiao Chengru's mixed crew. At that time, Xiao Chengru didn't take much part in the play, and he had a lot of free time. Xiao Chengru basically took Xiao Yao to appreciate the places worth visiting in Xi'an, so now Xiao Yao doesn't have any interest in visiting Chang'an City at night.

  Xiao Yao proposed to split into two teams. People who want to visit this ancient historical capital will hang out with friends, and those who feel tired and want to rest early will go back to the hotel together.

  "Where are you going? Are you going out to play or back to the hotel?" Everyone did not rush to express their opinions, but asked Xiao Yao.

  If Xiao Yao returns to the hotel to rest, it’s all right. It is estimated that everyone will really split into two separate actions. If Xiao Yao wants to go out to play, I am afraid that no matter how tired people are, they will not return to the hotel, but will go out to play together. They all came to Xiao Yao, no one wanted to miss the opportunity to be with Xiao Yao.

"Me?" Xiao Yao smiled and said truthfully, "I've been to Xi'an several times before, and I have basically been to the places I should go, and I don't want to go to those attractions. But I didn't plan to go back to the hotel to sleep so early. Get ready to find a place to drink some wine and relax!"

  "Drinking at such a young age?" A fan immediately laughed and murmured.

  "I drink, not alcohol!" Xiao Yao smiled, "Brothers and sisters, I'm already an adult, and the law doesn't stipulate that I can't drink bars?"

  "The law doesn't stipulate that you can't drink at your age, but it's not right for you to run and drink without us." Someone said, "Tell me, where are you going to drink, I'll go with you!"

   "I will go too!" everyone else shouted.

   "No problem, let's go together," Xiao Yao said, "but I didn't think about where to go."

   "Let’s find a KTV, have drinks, and let Xiao Yao sing for us." Someone suggested.

"It's okay for us people to go to KTV to sing, but if Xiao Yao is there, it is not appropriate. There are so many people there, and the environment of the K-karaoke room is not suitable for professional singers like Xiao Yao to play." Someone objected. "It’s better to find a quiet little bar with resident singers, and let Xiao Yao use the bar’s musical instruments to sing for us. We can reserve the bar, so we don’t worry that Xiao Yao’s whereabouts will be exposed."

  "This proposal is good!" Everyone agreed with the second one.

  Xiao Yao’s activities this time and his itinerary in the past few days are confidential. To go to places like KTV, first of all, it doesn't meet Xiao Yao's confidentiality requirements, and if you want to listen to Xiao Yao's singing, it must be that a quiet bar environment is more suitable than a noisy karaoke room. The people who traveled this time were all financially capable. Even if the three of them were excluded from Xiao Yao, their ten fans would not have the burden to book a bar for a few hours.

   "It's okay to go to the bar, right?" Xiao Yao said, "The bar is darker originally, I'm a little low-key, it shouldn't be recognized. If we rent out as soon as we go, it will be more noticeable."

   "Okay, listen to you!" Everyone said.

   "Since I am going to a bar to drink and listen to music, should I also inform the people here?" Someone reminded Xiao Yao.

   "If I called the people from Xi'an, the assembly point, would you people in Taiyuan feel unbalanced?" Xiao Yao laughed, "I didn't call you when I was playing in Taiyuan yesterday."

   "Forget it, don't notify!" the fan said immediately.

   "Really?" Xiao Yao said funny.

"Of course it's fake!" the fan said, "you don't need to keep their whereabouts secret! Our fans are a family, how can we forget others if something is good? Unlike some people, we just take care of ourselves, a little bit. Don't think about other people's feelings!" As he said, the fan also glanced at the three "old drivers" who came out of Yanjing.

"It's wrong!" The three old drivers immediately cried out. "We told Xiao Yao yesterday that we should come out with your local people in Taiyuan, but Xiao Yao didn't agree. We don't have your contact information. , Only Xiao Yao has, he doesn't agree, what can we do?"

"Okay, okay, it's my fault!" Xiao Yao waved his hand and said, "I had to run around last night. I am not too familiar with Taiyuan. I am afraid that there are too many people to greet me. Since I am going to a bar today, I will go back to the hotel after drinking. , Don’t have to run around, just call the people in Xi’an too. Those who can come will come, and those who can’t come will forget.”

   "Can't greet you? We didn't treat you as a child when we co-authored, but you think of yourself as one of our members?" a fan asked.

"Even though we were called by you, we didn't make you responsible for our safety. Which of us is not older than you? Not a fan of the brain, do you still need to worry about it?" Another fan joined by Taiyuandian Said, "We are all voluntarily participating in this event, and of course we are responsible for ourselves!"

   "But I am the organizer, and the plans are all made by me, so I have to take more responsibilities and consider more." Xiao Yao said.

  A fan stood up and expressed understanding: “He is a star, a public figure, if something happens, the media will not tell us, it must be aimed at him, and it’s normal to think more.”

  Thinking about it, other people can't help but nod their heads, so they don't say anything.

   "Let's do it!" Xiao Yao stood up and said, "Let's check out and go to the bar. When we find a place, I will send a message to those people in Xi'an to give the address."

  A group of people came out of the hotel and they all looked at Xiao Yao, meaning that Xiao Yao would lead the team. Xiao Yao was not polite, took out his mobile phone and searched the map, and then took everyone to the door of a bar.

  The bar Xiao Yao chose was not on the famous bar street, but found a bar not far from the hotel. Taking into account the need to drink, Xiao Yao did not let everyone drive, but left the car in the hotel parking lot and walked past.

  Everyone went in and took a look, and found that the environment was not bad, and there were not many people. They all felt satisfied, so they found their seats and sat down. Xiao Yao also took out his mobile phone and sent SMS notifications to several fans at the assembly point in Xi'an.

  When you came to the thirteenth dynasty, you didn't go to see the ancient city wall museum, but went to the bar to have a drink? Fans who received Xiao Yao's text messages stared at the phone screen in surprise, but thinking about Xiao Yao's temperament, it didn't seem to be incomprehensible to do so. Except for the two who couldn't walk away, six of the eight fans immediately replied to come together.

  This bar has singers in residence, and there is also a small performance stage in the bar with a full set of musical instruments. When everyone went in, there happened to be bar singers singing on the stage, and everyone did not interrupt them, they just ordered drinks and snacks, drinking and chatting while listening to songs while waiting for others to arrive.

  After a while, six fans arrived one after another and joined Xiao Yao and them. Xiao Yao's business has also changed from thirteen to nineteen.

It is very rare for a dozen or twenty people to club together. Although Xiao Yao and the others were sitting at four or five tables, they were obviously together. They inevitably attracted the attention of others in the bar from the moment they entered the door. Everyone was in a tacit understanding without mentioning Xiao Yao's name, and no one recognized that one of these people was Xiao Yao, a big star who is currently hotly discussed on the Internet. They consist of men and women, and they don’t look like offensive and dangerous people in terms of dressing and behavior. Others guess which company may be the gathering of colleagues. After a little glance, they move away. Lost attention.

  Everyone sat for about an hour, during which a solo singer and a band on the small stage in the bar went on stage to perform a dozen songs.

After finally waiting for the band behind to step down and rest, no one came to the stage. The stage was temporarily empty. A female fan who was at the same table with Xiao Yao couldn't wait to ask Xiao Yao: "Will you go up and show us something? We are big. Some people have never heard of your scene."

   "Okay!" Xiao Yao nodded with a smile.

  Since he is here, Xiao Yao knows that singing is inevitable. They didn't let themselves go up to sing as soon as they entered the door, but waited until the resident singer on the stage stepped down to rest. Taking their own situation into consideration, they tried their best to restrain themselves and keep a low-key choice. This time I asked them to help as volunteers. The benefit of singing is always going to be given.

   "Great!" The fan cheered, and immediately waved to the waiter standing next to the bar, "Waitress!"

   "Hello, do you need anything?" The waiter walked over and asked politely.

   "My friend wants to go up and sing, can you?" the female fan asked, pointing to the small stage in the bar.

  "Wait a minute, I'll ask the boss, there shouldn't be much problem." The waiter smiled and replied.

This bar has guests who have come on stage to sing songs before. Under normal circumstances, it is not a problem, but the bar is also afraid that someone will go on stage to go crazy and affect other guests. It is not just anyone who wants to go on stage. The decision is in the hands of the boss, and the waiter dared not say anything at once.

The waiter did not leave immediately, but looked at Xiao Yao again: "What song are you going to sing? Do you need a band to accompany you? We don’t have a lot of accompaniment here. If the boss agrees, I can help you see if there is any. Accompaniment, will the band members know the song you want to sing."

  Although the band is a performance band invited by the bar owner instead of an accompaniment band, it can also accompany the guests when necessary. The bar owner counts time and money, of course, provided that the guests sing the songs they know.

   "You don't need a band to accompany, just borrow him a guitar." The female fan preempted.

   "Okay!" The waiter nodded, turned and left.

   "What do you want to hear?" After the waiter left, Xiao Yao asked the female fan in front of him with a smile.

   "Can you still order a song?" the female fan said.

   "Of course!" Xiao Yao nodded with a smile.

   "I want to listen to "Those Flowers"!"

   ""When You Are Old"!"

   ""You at the same table"!"

   ""Chengdu"!"

   "I haven't entered Sichuan yet, what about "Chengdu", I want to hear "Thirty-year-old woman"!"

"Go! Pick something? The official version of this song has not been released, and now there is such a big controversy on the Internet, who can sing? Dare to sing casually? If he sings, he will not be recognized immediately! It is safer to sing "Chengdu". This song has the most cover versions on the Internet."

  When the female fan recruited the waiter just now, it attracted the attention of the people at the table next to Xiao Yao and his party. After the waiter left, everyone who heard their conversation also came in. Hearing Xiao Yao said that you can order any songs, and everyone babbled softly. Because Xiao Yao only has a guitar without the accompaniment of a band, everyone chooses mostly folk songs.

"Don't fight, don't you know his rules? Although there are not many people here, it is considered a public place. Of course it is singing a new song!" The female fan on Xiao Yao's desk waved her hand and looked at it. Xiao Yao said, "Are there new songs to sing?"

   "Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded with a smile.

   "Okay, then sing a new song!" Everyone quickly reached an agreement.

   "Yes," Xiao Yao said, "but just sing a song, and we will flash people after singing!"

   "Are you afraid that you will be recognized if you sing too much?" The female fan turned to look at the guests at other tables next to her.

"Yes." Xiao Yao nodded, "If you say a song, others are a little doubtful at best, and you can't be sure. But after singing, I should be noticed and pay special attention to me, so we can't stay longer. Leave after singing, so as not to be recognized after a long time."

   "Okay, anyway, we have been sitting for an hour, and we are almost drinking, and we have to get up early tomorrow!" Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Hello, sir, the boss said no problem, please come on stage." The waiter walked back. "The boss also said, no matter how your performance is, he will thank you for your willingness to perform on stage. I also admire your courage."
