Chapter 1044 Setting up the Stage
"Setting up a stage on the road? Does it cost money to watch the show?"
"Can anyone come and see?"
Er Pang answered them one by one, "It's free. Our boss decided to build a stage in front of the shop to thank everyone for their love for our dim sum shop. Everyone can come and watch."
Everyone cheered, "In my entire life, I have never seen a landlord build a stage for ordinary people like us. After all, watching a play in a teahouse is not cheap."
"Then I'll be the first one to come tomorrow and sit in the front row, okay?"
Er Pang said, "Sure, as long as you are a customer of our shop, you can sit in the front. However, the seats in the front are for regular customers of the shop. It's okay if other customers don't have seats. You can bring your own stools."
"Then how do you know if he comes here often?"
Er Pang smiled, "This is easy. Anyone who buys a lot in our shop and likes the snacks in our shop will be given a brand, a red, black and blue brand. Anyone who holds these brands will have a place."
In terms of color, red is the most precious, followed by black. Many people have blue, which is considered the entry-level color.
Zhou Guo had previously thought about giving these big customers a better experience, like in their previous life, so that they could be one step ahead of others in everything, and they could even have free desserts and tea on special days.
Because there are not many red cards given out, only to big families in the north, everyone is proud to get a red card from the dim sum shop. During this period, the dim sum shop's business has been getting better and better.
This method was mentioned in the letter she wrote to Hu Zi when she was still in the south. It has been implemented for a few months and the effect is quite good.
Of the three types of cards, the red card is the most valuable and rarest. It belongs to wealthy families. If you want one, you must have bought enough things in the shop. These people must be arranged in the private rooms on the second floor.
Black card holders are downstairs and sit at the front, blue card holders sit at the back, and other individual passengers can just stand and watch.
Zhou Guo thought about the twists and turns here. With so many people, many of them of important status, it would be best if the government officials arrived early tomorrow morning.
She had a good idea, but just after the Yin hour, when the morning bell rang and the stage was set up, a group of people came with their own stools.
We found a pretty good seat and chatted happily.
Dashu walked over and asked, "Why are you here so early?"
"Hey, little brother, we are here to reserve a seat. Didn't you say that anyone can come? We are afraid that there will be too many people and we won't be able to reserve a seat, so we came here first. You don't have to worry about us. We have brought food and drinks."
While he was saying this, another group of people arrived. They stared at the wide, large, and exquisite stage and said, "It's really beautiful. Haha, we came at the right time. Mother, I was right, but you insisted on coming. If we didn't come, we would never be able to see this play in our lifetime."
Zhou Guo upstairs felt something was wrong, and Erpang also felt that things were getting bad. Seeing that more and more people were coming, by the time daybreak came, no one would be able to squeeze in through any other routes.
She asked Erpang to take her post to the county government office and ask the government to send people to maintain order.
Erpang left in a flash.
The people from the county government came very quickly. When they arrived, there were already dozens of people here.
Zhou Guo rubbed his eyes and asked Dashu and Xiaoshu to leave and give breakfast to these people. How could they work if they were not full?
Slowly, as more and more people came, the day began to dawn.
The performance started at 1:01 am.
At noon, a street was already crowded with people. The big trees and walls of the houses on the street had been occupied.
Fortunately, there were yamen runners who prohibited people from going to many places. When half of a street was full of people, they would not let anyone in anymore.
Those wealthy families arrived one after another at 2:30 am.
With his own followers clearing the way and the help of yamen runners, he entered smoothly through the back door.
Black Card and Blue Card also found their positions, holding wooden signs.
Although the process was a bit bumpy and I almost got into a fight with someone, fortunately the result was good.
The noisy ones all found their own places.
The shop hired quite a few people today.
Tea, water and snacks are served to the guests upstairs. Of course, there are also guests sitting downstairs, but there are not as many varieties as on the second floor.
There aren't many exquisite ones.
The guests on the second floor leaned over to take a look and were very satisfied as the food was different from what they had eaten.
The guests downstairs were also very satisfied. Look, those who were standing didn’t have any, only they had some.
As for those who were standing, it didn't matter at all. They didn't even have a seat. Many people were just there to watch. Some of them had never bought anything in this dim sum shop. It was good enough for them to just look.
No one complained.
At one o'clock in the morning, with the sound of clang clang clang, the show finally began.
The crowd cheered.
The guests on the second floor frowned when they heard this. "I don't know what Mr. Zhou is thinking. He wants to set up a troupe, but why invite so many people to watch? Can these fools understand? What good or bad does he know?"
"I think it's quite nice and lively. Normally we just watch in our own backyard and there's not even any cheers. Look at this group of actors. They sing so enthusiastically after hearing the cheers."
Zhou Guo was in the last private room on the second floor. Sitting in the room was Zhang Lian, the Lord of Yunzhou, and several important figures from Yunzhou, including those from the Yang family, the Wang family, and the Wu family...
Zhang Lian looked at the huge crowd below and said to Zhou Guo, "You are the only one who is so bold as to set up a stage on the street. If we are not careful, something bad will happen."
Zhou Guo said: "So, didn't I tell you in advance? Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to do it alone. Sir, I have to thank you for even bringing people from the government office here."
Zhang Lian said, "You should thank me. I helped you so much. How do you thank me?"
Zhou Guohao said: "How do you want me to thank you?"
Several big masters around were looking at him.
The last time Xu Xiaobei from the Xu family came back from the border, by the time they got the news, everyone was gone.
But they also got more important news. Young Master Zhou stayed with them for a few days. They ate and lived together, just like a family.
Since then, the news that Zhou Guo was a member of the Xu family was confirmed in the upper and middle circles in the north.
I had some doubts before, but now I have no reason to do so.
Just as she arrived in the North, these people came to her door. Zhou Guo didn’t know what they wanted to do, but since they were here, she couldn’t chase them all away, right?
There was some singing on the stage downstairs, and cheers broke out from time to time.
There were so many people, but few were talking.
Everyone watched the show quietly.
Even if someone speaks in a low voice, they will be stopped by the people around them.
The guests upstairs were also very satisfied, and any snacks or tea they had run out of were provided free of charge.
It's still the same downstairs.
The sun is shining brightly today.
The stage was filled with singing for two hours.
