The building of the tile house has been basically completed, and Cao Bin began to recruit acrobatic troupes, storytellers, folk art troupes...
He is also preparing to perform the duties himself, rehearsing the Legend of White Snake and other pieces.
At this time, there was no complete opera, only Sanqu and Zaju. Cao Bin was considered a pioneer in history.
It's just that the more famous teams have fixed performance venues. If they want to open quickly, they have to poach others.
With Cao Bin's large sums of money, various teams were hired.
But the troupe performing the drama stumped him.
These people are the pillars of other houses, so naturally they are not easy to poach.
And because of Cao Bin's reputation, no one knows how long Cao Duwa Si can last.
No matter how high the price offered by Cao Bin is, the troupe is not willing to take the risk.
If Caoduwasi suddenly closes down after they change jobs, they will be in trouble.
Although Cao Bin plans to train opera actors himself, he also needs to train people with a certain foundation in drama.
If you start cultivating them from scratch, you don't know how many years it will take for them to mature, and by then the day lilies will be cold.
On this day, Uncle Fu suddenly brought a gentle middle-aged man to Cao Bin.
"Master, this is the troupe of Yinu Opera Troupe, Mr. Feng!"
"He intends to bring the troupe to our Caodu House, but he is still a little worried and wants to meet the young master in person."
Cao Bin has been worrying about the theater troupe these days. The "Yinu Theater Troupe" is a very famous troupe in the capital.
Unexpectedly, they came to the door.
Cao Bin suddenly became interested, stretched out his hand to invite Mr. Feng to take a seat, and asked politely:
"Mr. Feng, if you have any concerns, just say it. As long as you can bring your class to me, I will take care of your worries."
Mr. Feng bowed deeply and said with some fear:
"I don't dare to take it seriously. The young Marquis has promoted me. What is my identity as a villain? I don't dare to be rude in front of the young Marquis."
As he spoke, he cautiously stood in front of Cao Bin, cupped his hands and said:
"Thanks to the Young Marquis's praise, we are naturally willing to come to the Young Marquis's house to listen to his teachings. However, we have a troublesome matter and we dare not not report it to the Young Marquis in advance."
Cao Bin asked, "What's the matter? Please tell me."
Mr. Feng gritted his teeth and said:
"The house where my class is currently located is run by Taiwei Gao's house. If we change the house, I'm afraid it will bring some trouble to the young Marquis."
Then, he said a little shyly:
"It's just because my son Yinu has some feminine looks that caused trouble in Gao Yameni. I have no choice but to trouble the young marquis."
"I only have a single seedling named Yinu in my family. I hope he will inherit the Feng family's legacy and I don't dare to let him damage the foundation..."
Good guy, I thought that Gao Yanei would compete with me for the inheritance of Prime Minister Cao, but I didn't expect that his hobbies were so wide-ranging.
For a moment, Cao Bin felt a little ashamed of himself!
However, Cao Bin didn't care. He was not afraid of Gao Qiu unless he had a great backer, Master Pang.
Anyway, Gao Qiu was already offended by what happened last time, so there was no need to offend him again this time.
It’s worth making money!
So he said:
"Mr. Feng, come here with the troupe, I will take care of the trouble from Captain Gao for you!"
When Mr. Feng heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. He quickly knelt down on the ground, kowtowed with thanks and said:
"Thank you, Mr. Marquis, thank you, Mr. Marquis..."
After settling the matter with the troupe, Cao Bin was in a good mood. The next step was to prepare to open a business and make a lot of money.
There is always a lot of discomfort when you have a lot of debt on your back.
The people in the opera troupe did not expect that Cao Bin would personally guide the opera rehearsal.
They were both flattered and apprehensive.
I don’t know if Cao Bin has such ability.
If the performance is messed up by random instructions, the reputation of the "Yinu Opera Troupe" will be completely ruined.
However, their worries are doomed to be unnecessary. Cao Bin possesses "grandmaster-level proficiency in music," and an opera is just a small test.
Especially Feng Yinu, the pillar of the troupe, after being coached for a few days, he admired Cao Bin to the point of admiration.
That fanatical little look in his eyes often made Cao Bin shudder.
Li Shishi just paid it off, no matter what she said, she was a beauty.
It feels good to be admired by a beautiful woman, but why are you a man joining in the fun?
Time flies so fast, more than half a month has passed for this rehearsal.
It was rare for Cao Bin to do something seriously, and he didn't even have time to visit a brothel to earn points.
March 15th is the time of spring, with pink flowers and green willows and a pleasant breeze.
After more than ten days of publicity, with the expectations of Du Shiniang, Fu Bo and others, Cao Duwazi finally officially opened.
In the tea shed at the entrance of Washi.
Du Shiniang looked at the crowds of people coming and going, and she suddenly became happy and said:
"It seems that our tile shop will not lose money."
Fu Bo said worriedly:
"Today's tickets are free, so many people come. When we start charging tickets, I'm afraid there won't be anyone left."
"I think we should also learn from other tiles and just spend money on the skills. Why do we need tickets?"
Cao Bin laughed and said:
"Our Caodu House will definitely become the busiest place in Tokyo in the future. We charge tickets to prevent it from being able to accommodate so many people."
Fu Bo said speechlessly: "I hope so."
He felt that if he were a commoner in Bianjing, he would definitely not come to a place where he pays when he enters the house. Isn’t the free tile shop delicious?
At this moment, Pang Yu arrived with a group of dandy boys:
"Haha, Juncai, we are here to support you. Business is booming and money is flowing..."
Hearing his congratulations, Cao Bin also smiled and quickly let them in.
However, that boy Pan Bao was quite reluctant, muttering as if he was being dragged here by force.
They stayed in the tea shed until noon, and Uncle Fu was a little surprised and said, "Why do I only see people going in, but very few people coming out?"
Du Shiniang was also surprised: "Aren't they hungry?"
Cao Bin smiled proudly and said, "Wouldn't you know if you go in and take a look?"
After saying that, he stood up directly and walked towards the house.
Du Shiniang, Uncle Fu and others quickly followed.
Other places such as juggling and folk arts are sparsely populated, but storytelling places are crowded with people.
They all held their breath and listened attentively.
Today's lecture is on "Jin Ping Mei", which requires eighteen consecutive lectures until midnight.
These people listening to the book are all LSPs. Their stomachs are growling and they are reluctant to leave.
After hearing a few words, Du Shiniang couldn't help but blush, and sighed: "I'm really shameless for talking about these things."
Cao Bin smiled proudly: "How about it, I wrote it! Even if we drive them away in the future, they will be reluctant to leave, hahaha..."
Fu Bo immediately gave a thumbs up and said with a smile:
"Young master is amazing, tall, really tall. This is more exciting than visiting a brothel!"
Next is the gambling house. There are more people here than the storytelling place. Mahjong, poker, Russian roulette...
Where had the people of the Song Dynasty seen so many novel ways of playing?
Cao Bin also saw Pang Yu and others.
Pan Bao had long forgotten his initial reluctance. He was most excited at this moment, and those who didn't know thought he had taken stimulants.
After seeing this, Uncle Fu was completely convinced. Looking at the lively scene in the Washili, his mouth was about to burst with laughter.
Cao Bin didn't care about this. He had expected this scene for a long time. What he cared about was the evening show.
If "The Legend of White Snake" succeeds, my plan will be considered complete.
At this moment, Mr. Feng suddenly came to Cao Bin with an anxious look on his face and said:
"The little Marquis is in trouble. Xue Zida, who plays 'Fahai', is missing. Without him, this play cannot be performed..."
