Many beauties have only been wearing high heels for a few days. Even if the heels are not very high, they are still worried. They are afraid that their feet will sprain when walking, causing pain and missing work, which will greatly reduce their income.
Everyone is very careful when walking to deliver food. If he knocks over the tray or even falls to the ground, he will make the customers laugh and even get scolded by the landlady.
Zhou Xin'er was quite generous to her. Although there was an adaptation period, it only took a few days for the girls in the building to adapt to this kind of women's shoes with heels, which was a bit counterproductive.
There is nothing that can be done about it. The prince's orders must be carried out thoroughly, and these new shoes, combined with stockings and garters, can indeed highlight girls' legs.
It can even make the guests' mouths go dry, their throats are filled with smoke, and their eyes almost stare out of their sockets. Isn't this what she expects the most!
There are twenty girls working as waitresses in the venue, which can basically meet the needs. With the same income, compared to the drudgery they had done before, it is really good.
Some customers will naturally take the opportunity to take advantage of them. The beauties should not get angry and greet them with a smile, but they should not go too far. If they do something too outrageous in public, they will still be asked out.
The guests present had not drunk too much, and they also knew that the proprietress was a disciple of the prince, so they all ordered. Even those who touched her would give some small pieces of silver to appease her.
If something goes wrong while playing, I'm afraid I'll end up in the factory guard's prison. In that place, anyone with tender skin and tender flesh is considered a "girl"...
Since it is the first day of opening, it is inevitable that there will be a large number of customers. Many people are unplanned guests. There are no seats when they enter, so they can only stand and watch the excitement. Even if they are standing, they must buy two taels in advance. Silver standing ticket.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Thank you for your patronage of my shop today, which is full of guests and full of glory. In order to thank you for your kindness, I have specially prepared some novel singing and dancing programs for you to enjoy. I'm here I won’t say much more, you all can take a look.”
Zhou Xin'er has not yet reached the age of 40. Going forward ten years, she was still one of the top names in the capital. Now it is the time when she is full of charm. Facing hundreds of customers in the store, she does not show any signs of stage fright. Instead, she smiles like a flower.
The more customers came, the happier she felt. She wished her shop could be so full every day. She could earn a thousand taels of silver a day, which was quite an amazing thing and was no worse than those doing serious business.
For the first program, we must first warm up the place and arouse the emotions of the guests, and we must not smash the pot, otherwise there will be signs of collapse, so it is perfect to arrange a song with a beautiful melody and a brisk rhythm.
"Please enjoy the song, "At least I have you"!"
Before he finished speaking, a singer came up and greeted the audience below. Then, as the accompaniment sounded from behind, she began to sing this song that she had just learned a few days ago.
Since there is no loudspeaker, all singing requires a good voice. Even if the venue is large, the singer can still let the guests in the back row hear her singing.
The accompaniment band does not have a piano, a guitar, or a drum set, but it can be replaced by local instruments such as xylophones, pipas, and ordinary drums. A certain prince felt that although the effect was not satisfactory, it was still acceptable.
As soon as the song came out of her throat, it immediately aroused great interest among the guests. They had never heard a beautiful song before. The singer's hoarse voice had a hint of sadness, which could easily affect the guests' emotions.
This singer is also quite talented. After learning it twice, she can sing on her own. She has been appreciated by a certain prince, so Zhou Xin'er will naturally treat her differently, and using her as the opening act is a way of recognizing her ability.
Even though her face, figure, voice, and expression are pretty good, she only needed one penny to sing a song before. Now that she has received help from a noble person, her net worth has increased tenfold, but she has to reciprocate the favor.
Singing girls are also divided into three, six or nine grades, but in the final analysis, their natural talents have the final say, and their singing skills are the worst. As long as they are beautiful and their singing is not too bad, they can live a good life.
Along the Qinhuai River in the south of the Yangtze River, all those red and purple girls are like this. If they are not good-looking, it will be useless no matter how good their voice is. This is also an era where appearance is a factor, and appearance determines one’s worth.
This singer's face was not top-notch, not even first-class, but she stood out because of her good voice and was recognized by a certain prince. Otherwise, she would have been in a great position to make a comeback.
Since there were two stores that needed singers, a certain prince arranged for two singers to teach a song together. Otherwise, the pressure on the singers would be too great and their voices would be easily damaged.
Moreover, if the two of them study together, they can compare each other and correct their mistakes, which can be regarded as looking in the mirror. A certain prince doesn't have that much time to play with them, so he can pass it off as long as they are consistent.
The outstanding singing of the singer, coupled with the atmosphere created by a pair of male and female dancers, and the band's relatively capable accompaniment, made the guests who had never heard the fairyland songs immediately get into the state, and then became mesmerized, immersed in it, and couldn't extricate themselves.
"Okay~!"
When he finished singing, there were endless cheers in the venue, accompanied by harsh whistles and chaotic applause.
Everyone has never heard such a beautiful song, and it ended before they knew it. It was really unfinished and left people with endless aftertaste.
Today was not in vain. Many merchants had arranged their affairs and specially made time to visit this store.
The first song is so catchy, and the follow-up program should also be very good, so it will be a worthwhile trip.
"Next, please enjoy the song "It's Not That Easy"!"
This is a touching and tear-jerking song similar to the previous one. The lyrics are so touching that people will feel sad inexplicably after listening to it.
Many male and female guests even forgot to enjoy the refreshments on the table and were engrossed in enjoying the songs. After a while, some people nodded frequently and some became sad.
These lyrics are really from the bottom of my heart. I have so few close friends in this world, and how many people can I talk to?
The elderly businessmen on the scene all felt that it was just like what the song sang, and that a quiet life was not as good as a vigorous life.
Thinking about it, I have been trudging forward in the wind and rain for so many years. It is really not as easy as outsiders see.
The merchants looked calm and composed, but they were filled with emotions in their hearts. Perhaps this is the power of Zhiyin.
The response to the second song was no less than that of the previous one. The following song was still unsatisfactory, and the guests began to shout "One more song."
"Next, please enjoy the cross talk "Who Am I"!"
The audience was immediately confused. Wouldn't it be great to continue listening to the sound?
Why did you suddenly change the program?
What is this cross talk?
Since it has been said on stage, let’s just appreciate it.
Even though you've come here, you can't just walk away, that would be too shameful.
Two storytellers came up from the backstage and came to the stage. They first bowed their hands and saluted, and then one of them began to talk to himself: "Hello everyone, today, we two brothers will tell you a cross talk. Crosstalk is a form of entertainment for people, and the emphasis is on learning to sing and laugh. I am Peng Ke, and I am mainly responsible for speaking. He is Doulu, and he is mainly responsible for watching!"
The person next to him immediately became unhappy and hurriedly started talking: "Don't talk nonsense, I can talk too, otherwise it will be stand-up comedy. What this person said is called stand-up comedy, what two people said is called cross talk, and what three people said is called cross talk. It’s called group cross talk.”
"I can't tell, but you know a lot. Let me give you a chance to introduce myself to all the distinguished guests!"
"Everyone, my surname is Liu and my name is Liu San! Thank you all for coming to visit me! I wish you all happy events and good luck every day!"
"Wait a minute! What's your last name? Donkey? Do you have such a last name?"
"Liu~! Liu Bei's Liu! You straighten out your shoe mat tongue before talking! I tell you, listen up, my surname is Liu!"
"Oh~! Liu, right? What's your father's last name?"
"My surname is Liu, and my father's surname is naturally Liu!"
"You can pull me down. Your surname is Liu, and your father's surname is also Liu? How can it be such a coincidence?"
These two live treasures sang and harmonized on the stage, quickly calming down the dissatisfaction in the audience, and making the audience feel that what these two people said was quite interesting, much more interesting than what they usually said in teahouses. .
At some point, the content can make people laugh continuously, and some people are so happy that they are so happy that even people of a certain age are extremely happy. The atmosphere in the venue seems to be extremely relaxed and lively.
It took the two of them almost twenty minutes to finish the cross talk, which was similar to the rehearsal time. Since I have a background in storytelling, I wasn’t too nervous about doing cross talk for the first time.
Even if I temporarily forget my words, I can rely on experience to protect myself so that I won't completely fail. The first performance is still qualified. But in the eyes of the audience, it is undoubtedly a high-quality entertainment program that meets the standards of refined and popular entertainment.
Then there is a sketch called "Son-in-law Divides the Melon", which tells the story of two sons-in-law who want to take their father-in-law's heirloom jade watermelon as their own.
The two sons-in-law tried their best to get the emerald watermelon for themselves, but fortunately, the father-in-law had already seen through their tricks and finally turned the tide and won a lot of praise.
The audience became more and more addicted to watching it. After watching two movies, they wanted to watch the third one, but they didn't get what they wanted.
The fifth program is still a song, but it is "I Come to Patrol" with humorous lyrics and music.
A certain prince changed "monk" to "wild boar" so that there would be absolutely no problem singing it.
At first, some people felt that this song was far inferior to the first two songs and sounded a bit generic.
However, as the brisk tune gradually progresses, the listeners feel that they are in a beautiful mountain forest.
Each and every one of them started to move their head and head to the beat, enjoying the joy and leisure of being intoxicated.
But before everyone had enough fun, the song was over, which was really disappointing.
Seeing that all the guests were still unsatisfied, the proprietress Zhou Xin'er had her own solution.
"Next, please enjoy the dance "Cancan"!"
Just the name of this dance made the wealthy people fall into confusion again. No one had heard of this weird name, so they had to wait patiently.
Ten girls walked onto the stage one after another, each wearing an oversized maroon skirt with many pleats. The audience had no idea what they wanted to perform.
This kind of skirt can be judged from its appearance alone. It is definitely not a style native to the Ming Dynasty. It is full of exotic charm and arouses everyone's curiosity.
"I'm afraid it will be difficult to walk, right?"
"Yeah yeah!"
"With such a huge hem, I'm afraid it will be difficult to move!"
"Don't say it! Don't say it! Just wait and see how it gets better!"
The wealthy people below have begun to whisper among themselves. They don't think that the girls can perform such beautiful dances wearing such extremely awkward skirts.
After standing in a row, as the accompaniment sounded, the girls began their debut. Different from the local elegant dance, the dance taught by the prince focused on being unrestrained and enthusiastic.
In the words of the prince, it is necessary to reflect the working state of the people, to give full play to the unique advantages of body language, and to have a wide range of movements, especially to show one's hot side.
At first, the girls just followed the rehearsal requirements, stepping on the exciting beat and waving the satin skirts in their hands repeatedly along with the accompaniment.
But after a while, the music reached its climax, and the girls made a decisive decision, put down their skirts, raised their legs high, and performed the most iconic splitting movement of the cancan dance.
The wealthy people in the audience suddenly opened their mouths, and were extremely surprised. It turns out that there is another mystery to this dance...
"Oh my god~!"
"Awesome~!"
"It's wonderful!"
No wonder it can be performed in the building. You won’t know it until you see it, but you will be shocked when you see it!
Now the hungry and thirsty wealthy people can finally feast their eyes, and none of them can even blink.
According to the requirements of the prince, each dancer must raise their legs twenty times in one stage and sixty times in three stages.
When I started rehearsing, I was still wearing high heels, but later I was afraid of sprained feet and had to switch to flat heels, but it was really not easy.
"Okay~!"
"another one!"
"I will reward you with money..."
This is the show that rich people want to watch. Cancan dance is a vigorous sports dance, so the program market is very short and cannot meet the requirements of the audience at all. In order to continue watching, even money is thrown on the stage.
But it is impossible to return immediately. It is really impossible. We can only return once before closing the store. Otherwise, if the customers keep asking for it, these girls will have to keep dancing and they will be exhausted to death.
In order to appease everyone, the proprietress Zhou Xin'er asked a singer to adjust the atmosphere with a song "Itchy". This song is particularly suitable for singing on such occasions and is guaranteed to make those guests who are full of blood and can't stop listening to it.
The singer herself looks very delicate, and after applying makeup, she looks even more charming. In addition, her voice is very charming, which makes the singing effect surprisingly good.
"Come on~! Be happy..."
After hearing the lyrics, the wealthy people below could no longer listen calmly. Many people even had the urge to rush to the stage and take the singer home.
This song is so exciting that even those who don't have such bold ideas as some people want to go home immediately and "reunite" with their wives and concubines.
Upon closer inspection, this song can completely compete with the extremely unrestrained dance in the previous section, and they are evenly matched, which can be seen and heard in Mrs. Zhou’s shop.
"Vixen!"
This was the confession of the female guests present. If it weren't for the sake of the landlady, they would all want to kick the splatterer over, and then use their hands and feet to give her a good beating to relieve their anger.
Zhou Xin'er watched silently from the side, and then she couldn't help but reveal a proud smile. Unknown to outsiders, this was not the hottest part yet...
