Rushing to the sea: I can see the prompts

Chapter 202 Troupe Performance
  "Thanks for your hard work."

Zhang Yaohua gave each member a red envelope worth one hundred yuan.

Originally, the fee had already been paid.

But he saw these people performing so hard, and he was sweating just watching the few moves in between. In this case, it’s not too much to give a red envelope, right?
  "Thank you boss."

Zhang Yaohua waved his hand: "Are you hungry? Go to the restaurant and I'll book a table for you."

The lion dance team was moved, it would be great if they could meet such a boss every day.

They went to the hotel and even danced there for a few minutes. Ashin hung lettuce and red envelopes at the door of the restaurant for them to pick.

"Uncle Lin, this village is so rich!" a girl said happily.

She is the only woman in the team who can play the drums. There are two drummers in the team.

Uncle Lin is the leader of the lion dance team and is responsible for taking over tasks.

He smiled and said: "Of course, I have inquired about it. They plan to develop tourism here. The boss just now can earn millions, or even tens of millions, from just one trip to the sea."

They are all from other places, so it is normal for them not to understand.

"I don't know if he still needs people on his ship, I..."

Uncle Lin glared at the boy: "What? You want to change jobs in front of me? Being a crew member is profitable, but it is also very dangerous. You may not be able to do it."

It's not that he looks down on his own members.

These guys can't do anything without beating them every now and then.

The young man smiled and stopped talking.

Uncle Lin gave him a piece of meat: "Eat more. This kind of fish is very expensive, costing hundreds of yuan per pound."

In the evening, the troupe came.

At this time, the stage has been set up and is waiting for them to move in.

The villagers are looking forward to it.

Last year, the neighboring village invited a theater troupe, and they all went to the neighboring village to watch. This year it was finally their village’s turn, and they no longer had to go out in the dark.

Everyone had dinner early, then brought melon seeds, etc., and took stools to occupy seats.

People in the theater troupe are putting on makeup in full swing.

A child in the village was ignorant and got inside. The people in the troupe were not annoyed and let the boy sit and watch. Seeing that he was interested in makeup, they even drew a beautiful pattern on his forehead.

The little guy immediately ran out to show off, which made other children envious.

Each one of them poked their little heads eagerly, their thoughts written all over their faces.

Zhang Yaohua was speechless.

Seeing those little ones crowded at the door of the dressing room behind the stage, I had no choice but to say to an older woman: "Sister Liu, if you're not busy, give them a few strokes."

The man smiled and said, "No problem."

They will generally meet the employer's reasonable requirements.

no way! Nowadays, Cantonese opera troupes are not easy to get along with. Cantonese opera performances have little market in big cities, and they basically rely on the support of these towns and villages to continue to survive.

In big cities, singers are usually invited to hold concerts. A concert can earn millions, tens of millions, so naturally I prefer concerts!
  Therefore, they are very grateful to the people in these towns and villages, who provide food, clothing, parents and officials!

Zhang Yaohua shouted to the restless little guys: "Everyone, line up for me."

Suddenly, everyone became honest.

Shortly afterwards, the performance officially started, and the venue was already packed, with almost everyone from the village, old and young, in attendance. This is the face of traditional dramas such as Cantonese opera in rural areas.

It was a blast from the very beginning.

The emperor's flower.

An indispensable classic piece of Cantonese opera.

The background of this play is that in the sixth year of Chongzhen in the late Ming Dynasty, the country has been weak for many years. Although Emperor Chongzhen wanted to work hard to govern, he was under heavy pressure and improperly employed people, and the country was weakening day by day. The opera tells the tragic love story of Princess Changping and Zhou Shixian. Naturally, the villagers do not know these backgrounds.

What they love is that song, and everyone can hum a few lines.

In the eyes of people who don't know much about it, "Emperor's Flower" is a song, but in fact it is a script. There are as many as five or six performances, and it takes a while to complete the performance.

That song will be sung at the end.

A tourist from the north listened to it. Although he couldn't understand it, he listened to the music with relish.

"Don't tell me, it sounds pretty good. No wonder people like it," he said.

The performance started at seven o'clock and lasted until after nine o'clock, almost ten o'clock, more than two hours.

When the show ended, everyone still had something to say. Some villagers stuffed a lot of things on the table, such as rice, instant noodles, pumpkins, etc., as rewards.

Country people’s rewards are so down-to-earth.

The people in the troupe were obviously not surprised by this kind of scene and did not dislike it. The whole troupe bowed in thanks. Put the thoughts of the villagers into the car.

Zhang Yaohua walked over and gave each of them a red envelope, also worth one hundred yuan.

"Be careful on the way back and drive slower." Zhang Yaohua told them.

Originally, Zhang Yaohua let them stay for one night, and there were rooms in the village, but they still insisted on leaving, so they refused to stay.

"Thank you boss, we will pay attention."

After seeing off the troupe people, Zhang Yaohua met the village director.

Basketball games continued into the evening.

It didn’t end until after seven o’clock.

As a result, Zhang Yaohua also heard about it and won the third place for the first time, which made the director and others extremely happy.

The participating tourists were exhausted.

"Don't be happy so early. If other villages know that we have invited foreign aid, they will definitely make trouble." Zhang Yaohua said.

However, the director didn't care at all.

They didn't violate the rules. Which rule said they weren't allowed to hire foreign aid?
  If you have the ability, please invite me too!

Anyway, he will never let this third place go.

We will continue to do this next year. Of course, we will also pay attention to the training of local players and let them practice more when they have time. Always relying on foreign aid is not the answer.

What if starting next year, the town begins to fill in the loopholes and is no longer allowed to invite foreign aid?

Sure enough, it was just as Zhang Yaohua expected.

On the second day of the new year, the news was exposed, and the town directly called the village director to question him. The director was also a stickler, repeatedly emphasizing that his village had not violated any rules.

For a while, the town couldn't do anything to him.

This third place cannot be taken back. They still have to explain to other teams what the commitment will be like next year.

In order to thank the tourists who participated in the competition, the village director also promised that if they come to visit them within three years, accommodation and meals will be free of charge.

Tourists are equally happy.

It's not just a matter of "free", but they have brought glory to the village and their faces are bright. Especially the villagers' attitude towards them is obviously the same as towards their own people.

The second brother and Azhen are preparing to take Xuanxuan and Zhang Yuanhang back to their parents' home.

Returning to your parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year is probably a nationwide practice.

On the second day of the first lunar month, a married daughter has to go back to her parents' home and go with her husband, so this day is also called "Sister-in-law Welcoming Day" or "Sister-in-law's Day".

On this day, the daughter who returns to her natal family must bring some gifts and red envelopes to distribute to the children of her natal family, and have lunch at her natal family.
