Journey To the World of Film and Television

  Chapter 551 Can't we survive? Is it you?

   "Introduction? Introduction?"

Zhao Pan'er called Song Yinzhang a few times, saw that she didn't make a sound, thought she had got Ke Xiang's inscription, and began to rely on her status, unwilling to add acting, her brows were slightly frowned and then relieved, hiding the flash of fear in her eyes, and persuaded in a gentle tone: "Introduction, there are more and more people outside, and many of them are regular customers. I know that your status is different from before, and you don't want to give performances to those talents outside for a few hundred Wen tea money, but if you don't have these We can't survive in Tokyo with stinky tea money and sour talents."

  Hearing the last sentence 'We can't live in Tokyo at all', Song Yinzhang pulled himself out of the mess of thoughts, and didn't hear what Zhao Pan'er was saying before.

"I'm sorry, Sister Pan'er, I was thinking about something just now, and I didn't hear what you were talking about." Song Yinzhang was upset, and he was a little out of his wits. He gave Zhao Pan'er an apologetic look, and managed to pull himself together, and went on. Over the topic: "What did you just say that you can't survive? Could it be that the tea house business is almost unsustainable?"

Song Yinzhang showed a worried look, and said with concern: "If there is a shortage of funds, the monthly salary I receive in the teaching workshop and the scattered rewards I receive these days can add up to about forty or fifty guan. Help the tea house to post"

   Song Yinzhang's unintentional words made Zhao Pan'er feel slapped in the face.

Although Zhao Pan'er picked up the bowl to eat meat and put down her chopsticks to scold her mother, she knew in her heart that the whole half-covered face was based on the reputation of Mrs. Song, even if there were no such "stinky tea money sour talents" that she despised ’, Song Yinzhang’s big deal is to slap her **** and be her pipa color instructor. The only ‘we’ who can’t survive are Zhao Pan’er, Sun Sanniang and Ge Zhaodi themselves.

not to mention.

"By the way, there are also Tongfu Teahouse and Liyuan Opera Troupe. How could I have forgotten this?" Song Yinzhang patted his forehead and tried to count the money with his fingers. Can't figure it out, "Although my equity is only 10%, but the income is quite a lot. If Miss Pan'er needs it, I will take out my share of dividends right away."

   "Yinzhang, that's not what I mean. I mean that many tea customers come here today because of the fame. The tea house is crowded with customers. Can you perform an extra performance in the main hall to appease the regular customers."

  Zhao Pan'er felt very uncomfortable when she said this.

   In the old circle of sisters, Song Yinzhang and Sun Sanniang followed closely behind her and listened to her in everything. Just now he asked Song Yinzhang to perform an extra performance, thinking she would agree.

   Now, interrupting once and mentioning it again, her tone has a hint of "begging" than the first "command".

   It's as if, for no reason, he lowered Song Yinzhang.

   "Of course, it's the way it should be~" Song Yinzhang's eyes lit up, and he nodded, "I've long thought of performing in the lobby~"

  Since seeing the owner of the noodle shop and the Pipa girl that day, Song Yinzhang has gradually stopped putting himself in a superior position as before, and made a class division with the good-natured traffickers and pawns.

  In the past few months when Zhou Ji, Si Teng, and Xiao Kui got along, what Song Yinzhang felt most deeply was 'equality'.

  Zhou Ji often said that 'people are created equal' Song Yinzhang imperceptibly.

  That's why on the opening day of the 'Zhao's Tea Shop', I sat in the crowd with my pipa in my arms without any worries, and played the repertoire for Princess Qian with the guests around me.

It was only later that Tongfu Tea House directly crushed the failed "Zhao's Tea Shop", so Zhao Paner closed the shop for renovation and changed to the "high-end elegant" route, in order to better market Song Yinzhang's "Jiangnan No. 1 Pipa Player" and "pipa color" As a teacher, I specially arranged an elegant room on the second floor, as long as she performed here, up to three songs a day.

The smile on Zhao Pan'er's face gradually faded, and she stood on the fence on the second floor, watching with an inexplicable expression as she played Song Yinzhang, who was comforting the tea guests in the hall, walked down the stairs slowly, and called Ge Zhaodi, who was sweating profusely, and said, " Sanniang went to buy ice, why hasn't she come back?"

  The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and there are so many customers in the tea house, the whole lobby is stuffy and hot, like a steamer.

  Ge Zhaodi wiped the sweat from her forehead, glanced outside and said, "You should be back soon, right?"

  Zhao Paner nodded, and then asked, "Did you bring back the fish yesterday when you were digging lotus roots?"

   "That's right~" Ge Zhaodi has been in the market since she was a child, and it has become instinctive to observe words and deeds. She heard that there was something in Zhao Pan'er's words, and added, "There are still many in the lake~"

  Zhao Pan'er was noncommittal, and her expressionless face made it hard to see what she was thinking.

Ge Zhaodi rolled her eyes and said tentatively: "Miss Pan'er wants to add a fish cake to our tea house? It's true, are fruits, snacks, etc. all eaten? The weather is so hot recently, fish cakes don't need fireworks, Why does Qingliang have to stick to the teahouse? Miss Sanniang is so good at crafting, we can turn the teahouse into a restaurant or restaurant, so we don’t have to invite Zhangjie to play the pipa reluctantly.”

  Restaurant is easy to say, how can it be so simple in practice? In a restaurant with ten tables, the shopkeeper is not counted, and there are only two cooks, small workers, and waiters. How many more stoves are added, and how many dishes need to be rearranged must be reconsidered.

  The location on Ma Xing Street is not good, even if you change careers reluctantly, you have to rely on the reputation of the introduction to increase the price to attract customers.

  What is the difference between then and now?

  Hearing Ge Zhaodi's last sentence, Zhao Pan'er glanced at her unexpectedly, but didn't blame her for being a waiter for chewing the tongue of the big boss behind his back.

   "You go to work first."

"Oh~" Ge Zhaodi found that Zhao Pan'er neither reminded nor blamed her, she couldn't help but her eyes lit up, she decided to wait for Sun Sanniang to come back, and then blow in her ears more, trying to break up their circle of the original three sisters as much as possible, so that she could take advantage of it Enter and climb steadily.

  The weather is hot, not only the half-covered face lacks ice to cool down, but which other restaurants and tea houses do not lack it?

  Chi Ya Nei is the head of the Twelve Banks in the capital, and the 'Bingpu' is also under his jurisdiction.

  Hahaha had a big fight with Zhang last night, and they fell out completely. Both of them are arrogant and self-willed, so naturally neither of them would admit their mistakes.

  Help He Si saw that he was depressed and it was too hot, so he suggested that he prepare some ice cubes and send them to Tongfu Teahouse to cool off.

   Chi Ya Nei was really not in the mood to play Cuju today, so he agreed and led the little fat man He Si to the 'Wang's Ice Shop' to pick up ice.

  He happened to meet Sun Sanniang who came to buy ice, so he put all the complaints of Song Yinzhang and Zhao Pan'er on her head, and angrily ordered all ice shops in the capital not to sell ice to half-masked.

  Sun Sanniang was bitter in her heart, and tried to argue with Chi Yanei to no avail.

   She searched for several ice shops one after another, but the people sent by Chi Ya Nei went one step ahead of her every time, so they had to return in vain and returned to the teahouse empty-handed.

   "Sister Sanniang, why did you go there for so long? Where's the ice?"

  Ge Zhaodi saw Sun Sanniang enter the door, as if she was pardoned, she escaped from the tea house from the sound of Song Yinzhang's pipa as if fleeing for her life, leaned over to look around Maxing Street, and said curiously.

  Sun Sanniang shook her head with an ugly face, "I didn't buy it."

   "Didn't buy it?" Ge Zhaodi was surprised, "Then have you gone to other places to see, where are the ice shops in other markets?"

   "Chi Yanei ordered that no ice shop in Tokyo could sell us ice cubes. I found several, but no one dared to sell them." Sun Sanniang explained to Zhao Pan'er with a guilty expression.

   "How could he do this!" Ge Zhaodi said angrily, "This is too overbearing."

Zhao Pan'er was out of the loop now, shaking the round fan, and said in a deep voice: "Although we had grudges with Chi Yanei before, it is not limited to this. If there is no ice in summer, our tea house business will not be able to continue. By the way, San Niang , did he say the reason?"

   "It seems to be related to Yinzhang." Sun Sanniang turned her head and looked at Song Yinzhang, who was shaking her body with a smile and playing a brisk tune, and hesitated.

"Sister Yinzhang?" Ge Zhaodi glanced contemptuously at Song Yinzhang among the tea guests, and said sarcastically, "A Mr. Zhou who is hugging left and right, a gentle and refined official, and now there is another Chi Ya Nei who is in charge of the twelve lines. Sister Zhang really has both ways."

  Sun Sanniang frowned slightly, her tone became a little more serious, "Zhao Di!"

"I'm not wrong." Ge Zhaodi turned her head unconvinced, and complained in front of Zhao Pan'er: "You don't know, there were a lot of customers lined up outside the tea shop just now, and Sister Pan'er saw that they were all regular customers. It hurts to be squeezed under the sun, so I tried to persuade her to perform an extra show, and after a long time of persuasion, she was willing to come down from the stairs."

  Sun Sanniang glanced at Song Yinzhang in the hall, pursed her lips, and felt a little more grudge in her heart.

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. The most important thing right now is to solve the lack of ice." Zhao Pan'er interrupted Ge Zhaodi, but did not say that she was not. Instead, she turned to Sun Sanniang and said, "I will go and find Zhang to take care of it." , see if she can do anything; you can look elsewhere, if the big ice shop refuses to sell us ice, then go find a small ice shop, it doesn’t matter if the price is more expensive, let’s get through this barrier first.”

  Ge Zhaodi nodded and said, "I'm familiar with the pier, so I can help you find it."

"What are you talking about?" Song Yinzhang played several pipa pieces one after another, and all the boredom seemed to dissipate with the music. He put down the pipa and prepared to rest for a while. Seeing three people chatting behind the counter, he came over rubbing his palms. He smiled, "I'm exhausted, do you still have smoothies in the store?"

   "Sister Pan'er, go first, the business is important, the tea house has us~" Ge Zhaodi took Sun Sanniang's arm and didn't give her a chance to speak.

  Zhao Paner nodded, looked at several people and said, "Well, then I'll go out first."

   Song Yinzhang didn't understand, so he followed Zhao Paner's leaving figure, turned his head to look at Sun Sanniang in doubt, and said, "What's the business?"

   "What else? Help you clean up the mess." Ge Zhaodi snorted softly and whispered.

  Sun Sanniang glanced at her reproachfully, then looked back at Song Yinzhang, showing hesitation, "Yinzhang, have you offended Chi Yanei recently?"

  After listening to Sun Sanniang's encounter with Chi Ya Nei at the Bingpu, Song Yinzhang's face was cloudy, silent for a moment, then turned and ran out the door, "Sanniang, I'm going out too."

   "Hey~ hey~~ What about those tea guests? Are you coming back?" Sun Sanniang stretched out her hand to stop Song Yinzhang, but seeing that she had already run out the door, she had to put down her arms helplessly.

"Look at her arrogant appearance, it's true that she is in the limelight in the prime minister's mansion, but what does she mean by showing her power at us every now and then?" Ge Zhaodi muttered again, before Sun Sanniang stopped her, she stuck out her tongue and flinched Shoulder slipped away, "I'm busy~"

  Sun Sanniang pursed her lips, stood there in silence for a long time, and then went to the lobby to pack the tea sets.

  The elegant carriage drove smoothly on the streets of the West Market.

  Song Yinzhang lifted the curtain of the car to look at the sunset outside, and told the driver to turn to the teahouse.

  Zhao Pan’er once said, ‘The most important thing for a person is to be self-reliant. If you ask others for everything, what is the difference between you and a slave? '

   Song Yinzhang thinks so.

However, she failed to comfort Zhang Haohao last night. Song Yinzhang really didn't know what to do, and now he has been implicated in half-hiding his face because of his own reasons. Hearing that Chi Yanei took someone to the teahouse, he wanted to explain it to him face to face, at least not to implicate Pan My sister's business.

  Arrived at the teahouse, a cool breath came over his face. Song Yinzhang walked into the gate quickly, only to see a lot of ice cups placed around the teahouse, and several staff carried away the melted ice water and replaced it with new ice cubes.

  "Boss Song." Seeing Song Yinzhang, a guy rushed forward to greet him.

  Song Yinzhang was not used to the title "Boss Song" at first, but later learned from Ms. Si Teng that the owners of the theater troupe were all called "bosses".

  Since she is in charge of managing the troupe musicians, she is naturally called the 'boss'.

   Over time, I got used to it.

  Song Yinzhang looked around and said, "Where's Chi Ya Nei?"

   "It seems to be going to the backstage." The man pointed to the direction of the backstage, Song Yinzhang nodded slightly, and walked directly towards the curtain behind the stage.

  Entering the backstage from the side of the curtain, Song Yinzhang walked to the dressing room with ease, everyone in the troupe knew that Boss Si loved to stay in the dressing room when he had nothing to do, and Boss Zhou liked to follow Boss Si to the dressing room when he was free.

   But this time, both of them were not in the dressing room, but went backstage to the ice cellar behind the tea house.

  Song Yinzhang came to the door of the wing room above the ice cellar, and seemed to hear Zhou Ji talking to someone, and glanced at the guys helping to transport the ice, one of them was a fat man in an indigo short robe that caught her attention.

  'What's his name? He He Si. '

  Song Yinzhang and He Si didn't meet much. On the opening day of the 'Zhao's Tea Shop', it was this little fat man who brought people over to join him. It was considered a favor.

  Song Yinzhang bowed to him, and walked forward, just in time to see Zhou Ji talking to another person, and it turned out to be Chi Yanei.

"You mean, I recently met a young master surnamed Zhao, and I want to learn how to show off in front of him?" Zhou Ji looked at Chi Ya Nei with a strange expression, and after listening to his description of that young master Zhao, a faint feeling rose in his heart. A sense of confusion.

   "Chi Yanei, excuse me. Don't you really know Gao Qiu?"
