The three guests at the table downstairs looked away, and one of them smiled at the fiercest-looking one at the table and said, "It's interesting. Baoqing, I'm challenging you, why don't you touch your pocket and throw something in?" "
But it turns out that these three people are Xie Baoqing, Pang Yuan and Shen Xiang. The three of them paid a private visit incognito to show sympathy for the people. When they were tired, they came in to have a cup of tea and listen to gossip. The teahouse is undoubtedly one of the places where all kinds of news circulate most. .
Xie Tian laughed loudly, picked up a shaomai in the steamer, took a bite, and said with a smile: "It's not like I threw the ocean on the stage. Those girls are also challenging Lao Shen, right? Lao Shen, hurry up and take a look in your pocket. Is there anything else valuable? Why don't you take off your jade pendant and throw it up?"
"Go away," Chen Xiang cursed, looked at Pang Yuan with a smile, and said, "I guess she is a concubine from some family, the kind who guards an empty room alone."
Xie Tian raised his eyebrows and looked at Pang Yuan and said, "Brother Pang Pang, what do you think of monogamy?"
Pang Yuan waved his hand: "This is not the time to discuss this. I personally agree. Let's listen to the Allegro first."
The allegro player on the stage finally started his performance. After a quick prelude, he closed up the castanets and threw out a new joke he had just written last night.
"As soon as the bamboo boards were beaten, my heart blossomed. I was eager to see that the People's Liberation Army was entering the city. The People's Liberation Army had 16,000 people and the little devils had 38,000 people. This battle was such that the sea and rivers were filled with water, and a big carp of 18 pounds jumped directly. Go home. (Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack).”
As soon as the first line of Allegro was sung, there was a roar of applause from the audience, and some people started throwing money on the stage.
"Speaking of the People's Liberation Army, we must first talk about Xie Baoqing. This Xie Baoqing is actually not a human being."
The whole place shook, and the cheers suddenly stopped. Many people had black lines on their heads.
Kue Ban Zhang, are you too brave?
The People's Liberation Army has entered the city, and there are People's Liberation Army patrols on the streets outside the door. You damn girl don't want to live anymore? How dare you scold Xie Baoqing here for not being a human being? Um?
The applause of the audience suddenly stopped, but laughter came from a certain box on the second floor, and then the ocean flew out of that box and landed on the stage with a clatter, at least seven or eight of them.
Xie Tian speechlessly turned his gaze from Allegro's face to the box. He could only clearly see three people sitting in the box, and seven or eight people standing behind the three people with their arms folded.
Xie Tian calmly looked at the table behind him and saw Hu Zhiyong leading two people to get up and walk towards the stairs leading to the second floor box.
On the stage, Allegro Zhang hesitantly played Allegro for a long time, then suddenly started singing fiercely.
"Xie Baoqing is not a human being, but the incarnation of a stone monkey. Five hundred years ago, he made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace and was banished to the mortal world. The little Japs made trouble in China. The Buddha showed mercy and took back Wuzhi Mountain to reveal his golden body."
The whole audience was stunned and started to stir up the pot again. This section of Allegro Zhang compared Xie Baoqing to Sun Wukong who caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace.
The Allegro is really open, the Allegro is croaking, and the mouth is open.
"In that battle that night, the little Japs were so ruthless that they threw out tons of gas bombs."
"Xie Baoqing became anxious, appeared in golden form, took out the Ruyi Golden Cudgel and charged into the group of Japanese soldiers."
"It's just sweeping away a large area with a stick and kicking a large group. The Japanese were beaten until they cried for their fathers and mothers and lost their souls."
"There are too many Japs. Xie Baoqing split his body and plucked a handful of hair to become the People's Liberation Army."
"There are thousands of them, covering the ground and the sky. The little devil's legs trembled as soon as he saw them."
"Xie Baoqing is a god, and even his hair is a god. If he grabs the little devil's hand and tears it to pieces, the little devil's soul will be gone."
"I'll go", Xie Tian had a black line on his face, damn it, it turns out that you are the originator of tearing up the Japanese with your hands.
Allegro Zhang started the joke with a crackle. The joke directly compared Xie Tian to the reincarnation of Sun Wukong. The gods descended to earth, and the People's Liberation Army was also made up of heavenly soldiers and generals. They came down to earth specifically to deal with the little devils.
Xie Tian burst out laughing and beat time with his hands.
Pang Yuan and Shen Xiang looked at Xie Tian speechlessly. You are still smiling so happily when you hear other people praising you like this. Can you please give me a little face?
This time the Allegro Zhang was able to thoroughly criticize the Japanese devils, and scolded the Eight-Nation Allied Forces one by one through Xie Tian's takeover of the concession. As this Allegro was finished, the cheers in the Chinese Tea Garden continued, and there was a roar. Now the old coins exchange coupons for Japanese tickets were thrown on the stage, and some people even threw the festoons they had just bought on the stage.
Xie Tian saw the Allegro player bowing repeatedly to the audience, and the two teenage apprentices came up to the stage with a tray to pick up the money with a smile on their face. Brother, I didn’t bring any money, so I borrowed some money from overseas envoys.”
Pang Yuan stared at Xie Tian speechlessly as he took out two oceans from his pocket and patted them into Xie Tian's hands. He stared at them and asked, "Can I have a little face? I'm not ashamed."
Xie Tian laughed and threw the two oceans on the stage. Then he smiled at Pang Yuan and said, "I play allegro so well, so I should reward him with a few oceans."
Chen Xiang threw a few more oceans, looked at Xie Tian and said with a smile: "Master, you didn't bring any money and you dragged us to the teahouse. From the beginning of our relationship, you planned to eat and drink us for free."
The consumption in the teahouse is not low, especially if you sit at the end of the table. A table of tea, water, melons, fruits and snacks costs a lot of money, and there is also a seat fee.
Xie Tian laughed and said, "One of you is a government official and the other is a landlord. Are you embarrassed to ask me to spend money to entertain you?"
Pang Yuan is one level older than Xie Tianguan (appointed by the Chongqing government). Chen Xiang is the newly appointed mayor of Tianjin and is considered a landlord.
Two young apprentices on the stage were counting money while picking up money. One of the young apprentices could not help but report to Allegro Zhang in a low voice: "Master, there are more than 130 oceans and a gold bracelet. We will make a fortune."
Seeing people throwing money on the stage, Kueban Zhang already knew that he had gained a lot today, but he did not expect to have so much money. In surprise, he hurriedly ordered his two apprentices to kneel down and kowtow to the people, and he also bowed repeatedly.
Artists in this era have a low status. They know that they rely entirely on the guests to make them happy and enjoy their food. They treat their guests like fathers and provide for them. It is just normal for their young apprentices to kneel down and kowtow. Some of them have knelt down themselves.
Most of the performances performed by artists are performed by themselves to make everyone happy, but they are not like those orangutans in later generations. Their nostrils will shoot up when the name is called. When they come out, the security guards will clear the way, and there will be a lot of assistants around them. There are so many scoundrel people pursuing them.
Pang Yuan looked at the beaming Xie Tian speechlessly, shook his head, and asked, "Have you had enough? Should we go?"
After all the fun, Xie Tian knew that there were still a lot of serious things to do. He laughed and picked up a piece of cake and said: "There are so many delicious things, don't waste it. Let's leave after eating."
At this moment, a dozen fierce-looking people rushed in from the entrance of the tea garden. These people did not look away. After entering the door, they went straight to the big stage. The first one raised the stick in his hand and pointed at the Allegro Zhang on the stage and shouted: "Call me."
