In the afternoon, the People's Liberation Army lifted military control over urban Tianjin. Citizens rushed out from all over the streets to celebrate. Spontaneous parades poured out from various streets and alleys, converging into countless torrents and rushing toward the City Hall. .
The parade marched through the concessions of various countries, and the shouts and slogans of the Chinese people rang out in the concessions. At this moment, a century of shame was vented.
No vicious incidents of beating, smashing, looting or burning occurred. Although the People's Liberation Army has lifted military control over the urban area, the People's Liberation Army still patrols the major sections of the street. The People's Liberation Army is stationed near major businesses in the concession, especially those run by foreigners. patrol.
Xie Tian transferred a main force regiment from the 52nd Army to Chen Xiang as the basis for forming the security force. However, as he said before, this main force regiment was only temporarily lent to Chen Xiang. After the establishment of his security force is completed, it will be returned to the 52nd Army intact. military.
There is a huge gap in combat effectiveness between the main force of the field army and the security forces, not to mention that the troops of Li Yunlong's 52nd Army are all veterans who have been tempered in wars.
The parade was bustling with people, and small and large businesses in the market began to cautiously open their doors one after another.
Nanshi is a famous Sanguang area in urban Tianjin. It is located near the original French Concession and Japanese Concession. This place is full of casinos, prostitutes, and opium dens. There are many industries in the area, including the Tianxian Theater, the Chinese Tea Garden, and Tonghua Tea Garden. Famous large-scale entertainment venues such as Qing Tea Garden are the most lively.
Tea gardens are not only places where people drink tea, chat and set up dragon gate formations. Each tea garden has a stage, and artists perform in the tea gardens to attract popularity. The tea gardens make money from guests’ tea money, seat money and stage money. Artists earn Guest's reward.
Tianjin is the hometown of folk arts, including storytelling, cross talk, Luo Zi, Allegro, Jingyun Dagu, Pingtan, and juggling. There are countless folk arts forms. Tianjin people are very picky about folk arts. Only those who have been on the tea garden stage and are recognized by the audience are considered to be actors and are qualified. Artists who have never even appeared on the big stage in the tea garden can only go to the street stalls to make a living while walking around.
It is not easy for an artist to sneak into the tea garden and get on the stage. First of all, he must have a master. Only if the master is a famous actor and apprentice can he have the opportunity to get on the stage. The second is his craftsmanship. Good skills may not necessarily have the chance to get on the stage. He must also have the skills and someone to recommend him.
You may not be able to make money even if you are on stage. If you fail to amuse the guests, no one will reward you, and you will still have to pay for the stage and referral money. Even if you earn two hard-earned money from selling your skills, you will still have to pay for the manager when you step down. Money, otherwise you won't have the chance to go on stage next time. You have to pay for tea to the helpers. If you don't have a backstage, you have to pay for the gangsters. In short, you have to spend money everywhere.
There are only a handful of people who can make it from being a street stall to the big stage of the tea garden, and the one who is currently on the big stage of the Chinese Tea Garden is Allegro Zhang, who is preparing to quit his job.
The parade on the street outside was in full swing, and the number of guests in the teahouse was much less than usual, probably only 60% of the seats. But this was not bad. After all, it was afternoon, and people who were used to going to teahouses in the evening would be quick. The empty seats will be filled up, and you won’t be able to find a good seat unless you book a seat in advance.
The play sign hanging at the entrance of the Chinese Tea Garden says, "There will be a little Chunxi's move tonight."
Xiao Chunxi was a big figure in Jinmen. With her appearance, figure, and little voice, she was like a canary. Several big guys in Jinmen were eyeing Xiao Chunxi, including the famous Mr. Yuan Sanye, but when she arrived So far, I haven't heard of anyone who will marry Xiaochunxi.
On the stage, Allegro Zhang walked onto the big stage, held the Allegro and began to bow in circles. He said hello to the regular customers who called him Master Sheng. After greeting the people sitting near the stage in the lobby downstairs, he extended his hands to a few occupied private rooms on the second floor. respect.
"Kuai Ban Zhang, let's do some new work today." A regular customer, impatient with Kue Ban Zhang's politeness, began to urge him.
It is not easy to beg for a meal in the world. Anyone who is not greeted may offend others, and at least the reward will be greatly reduced.
After greeting everyone, Kuepao Zhang chuckled: "Everyone, I'm here today. I burned three kilograms of kerosene last night to cook up a new joke. I'll give it to you today. Please give me a hand first. It sounds awkward to you." We will change it when we step down."
The guests cheered loudly, and a few Kue Zhang fans took out huge coins and threw them on the stage.
Didn't you hear what people said? They burned three kilograms of kerosene last night to make this joke. It costs money.
Who can burn three kilograms of kerosene in one night? Just to make you laugh. There was no power outage last night, so they burned three kilograms of kerosene.
Allegro Zhang can go from being a stall owner to a big stage because he has a lot of work. He is young and handsome, and is very popular among ladies and ladies.
Allegro clasped his fists to express gratitude, and specially bowed to the table next to the row with clasped fists: "Thank you three for the reward."
The three men looked strange, but the man in the robe raised his hand and threw five oceans at Allegro Zhang's feet. This move was not an ordinary generous one.
The man who threw the ocean smiled and returned the gesture to Allegro Zhang with a fist in his arms.
Allegro player Zhang Xiaoxiao straightened up and played the allegro player, and inadvertently looked up at a box on the second floor.
A lady in the box laughed softly and stood up and walked to the fence. She first glanced at the table of guests that Allegro Zhang had specially thanked. Seeing that the three people at that table were all men, she breathed a sigh of relief and took off her gold bracelet from her wrist. He threw it down and threw it to the stage at the feet of Allegro Zhang.
Seeing the gold bracelet rolling on the stage, the teahouse suddenly became lively. Some people cheered, some whistled, and some screamed: "Quote Zhang, Fourth Grandma has rewarded you with all the gold bracelets. Hurry up and give me your blessing." Bar."
People laughed, and regular customers all knew that the Fourth Grandma had some interest in Allegro Zhang.
Who is the Fourth Grandma? She is the fourth concubine of Liu Baoshan, the commander of the security brigade of the Tianjin Puppet Army. She is only twenty-seven or eighty years old today.
However, Liu Baoshan had a sixth concubine, and the fourth concubine was not the most favored one. She had a bit of a grudge against the vacant wife, so she fell in love with the handsome and quick-tongued Kue Kuai Zhang.
This Liu Baoshan was a powerful person in Tianjin who could not be offended. Even if Kuepa Zhang had the intention, he would not dare to hook up with him, so he could only look back and forth in a nonchalant manner and fill his wallet first.
It is said that the People's Liberation Army and the Japanese and puppet troops were fighting to the death outside the city yesterday. Liu Baoshan still doesn't know whether he is dead or alive. These four wives still have the heart to come to the teahouse today, which shows that these four wives are enough.
Seeing the golden bracelet on the stage, Allegro Zhang hurriedly clasped his fists and smiled: "Thank you, Fourth Grandma, for the reward."
The Fourth Aunt Liu Baoshan smiled at Allegro, glanced at the three guests at the table who looked up, snorted softly, turned back and sat down to pick up the tea bowl.
The old lady who was standing behind the tea table sighed softly, touched the teapot and added some hot water.
Life is not easy. You say you fall in love with someone who is not good, but you fall in love with someone who is allegro.
As the saying goes, XX is a ruthless actor and has no righteousness. He is only trying to hook you up for the money in your pocket. If the two of you really get along, not to mention whether Brigadier Wang will let you go, even this Allegro Zhang will probably Unreliable.
What a bad fate.
