Chapter 378 (2/2)
It rained for half a month.
Qingyuelou's business is very poor. If there are no guests to show, they will have no income. What makes them more anxious is that it has been raining heavily.
”I heard that many places around the capital were flooded and many people died! As a direct result, we can't even buy rice now. If we hadn't hoarded some time ago, we would be hungry! ”
Su Yingying sighed: ”at present, the price of rice and salt in the capital is high because of heavy rain. Now we have no income, so we can only save if we can. Yuan'er, go and ask Zhou Ma to make more steamed bread. Maybe we can survive.”
Hao yuan'er sighed: ”that's all I can do!”
Luo Xiao sat by listening to everyone's frown, and immediately said, ”I have an idea that can change the present predicament. I don't know whether to speak or not.”
Su Yingying smell speech, can't help but see her one eye more: ”Luo younger sister but say no harm.”
”Yes, yes, sister Luo, if you have a way, say it quickly!”
At this time, Yingxiu looked at her.
Luo said with a smile: ”just as we have no business now, it has been raining heavily for more than half a month in the capital. I'm afraid there is no business everywhere. The heavy rain has kept everyone at home, so they can't get out. But as we all know, staying at home all day is boring. Listening to music and dancing is good for them to relax. In other words, the guests actually have needs, and we have no one to look for. First, the rain is too heavy, so the guests don't want to send someone to see them off. Second, in this bad environment, Our acting fees have become very high. ”
”I wonder if we can change our way. As long as the guests need to be informed, we will come to the door by ourselves. As for the reward, we will calculate it according to the usual way. In this way, the guests will not spend more money and will be happy to invite us.”
”Sister, this is a good idea, but after all, we are in the business of entertaining the public. Naturally, image is the top priority. But it's raining so hard, I'm afraid we won't be able to perform before we get to the guest's house
Luo laughs to smell speech, immediately laughed: ”elder sister has heard of North Luo?”? There is a kind of folk opera in Beiluo, called donkey shadow play. It uses paper-cut method to make human figures, and then performs them on a white curtain, which is controlled by people. And we don't need to show up for this kind of performance. My sisters all have good voices. If we can learn the technology of super control shadow play, we will be able to tide over the current difficulties! ”
”Donkey shadow puppet? I've heard a little about it, but I don't know what to do. ”
Luo laughs to smell speech, immediately laughed a way: ”this Su elder sister need not worry, hand over to me good.”
Su Yingying immediately in front of a bright, looking at the eyes of Luo smile sincerely appreciate.
Do what you say.
After half a month's cultivation, Luo Xiao's body has been completely recovered. With the help of others, she found a set of shadow puppets, which took only three days to make. Then she gave them to everyone for use, and then demonstrated them.
This method is really new. For those who are used to performing in front of him or the stage, they are more interested in performing without showing their faces.
Soon, the people mastered the skills. It had to be said that Su Yingying was a good hand in this aspect. She personally arranged a play. With the help of the people, after several exercises, everyone was happy.
In this way, the plight of relief, they do not worry about no income!
After the donkey shadow puppet was familiar with it, Qing yuelou began to advertise and spread the news.
Although qingyuelou is not big, there are still some old customers who have been in Beijing for many years.
They come to each other's home and do it semi free at first. After opening their popularity, more people invite them. Because of this, business is really booming.
And the time is only half a month.
The heavy rain has stopped.
The weather is getting better and the business of qingyuelou is getting better. With the help of donkey shadow puppet, it is booming.
During the period, Luo Xiao was in the state of eating and drinking for nothing in Qing Yue Lou. Even when she was playing donkey shadow puppet, she spent some energy. Besides, her daily life was very leisurely.
In the end, she doesn't want to live here so freely, especially now she has no money and can't leave here. After thinking about it, Luo Xiao goes to Su YingYing and plans to participate in it.
She's a princess. It doesn't matter at all that she plays piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She shouldn't have been involved in the actor business, but in such an environment where she can't even eat enough, she must have the ability to support herself. What's more, the actor relies on her own hands to make money. She doesn't think there's anything cheap about it!
