Chapter 21 Snow Tiger on the stage
Chapter 21 Snow Tiger on the stage
Yan Chan couldn't help asking, "Sir, what are you carving?" It is an old man who has this craft.
"Oh, this is carving wood carvings again. Now it's time to carve names!" The old man stopped and looked up at Yan Cen and said.
"What a beautiful craftsmanship, uncle. Is this difficult to learn? I see a lot of openings in your hand." Yan Cen is still a thoughtful person. He saw some wounds on the old man's hands, both old and new.
The old man looked at his hand and said with a smile, "How can there be no wound in the wood carving? This technique is good, and the wrist is free. If it doesn't take ten or eight years, it won't make a climate. Well, practice makes perfect, and you should practice diligently.
In this way, Yan Chan looked at the old man, and the two asked and answered, which also made Yan Chan understand a lot. At that end, Sister Mou had already bought good things and shouted at Yan Chan at this end, "Chou'er, we're going back."
"Well, I'm coming." He turned back to Sister Mou, and then turned back and said, "Grandpa, I'm going back. I'll chat with you when I'm free."
"Baby, I won't be here tomorrow. My old lady has typhoid fever recently. I can't often go out to set up stalls. If you want me, you can go to the small wooden shop on Dongping Street. That's my house, but it's a little far away from here. Don't come at night. It's not safe." The old man reached out and touched the sweat on his forehead and said.
Yan Chan noded and said, "Oh, okay, anyway, I have to stay here for a while. I'll play with you when I'm free. Goodbye, uncle." Then he ran to Sister Mou and Sister Xiaoyu, who were waiting for her.
Back to the courtyard, Yan Zhen divided the pig's feet with the baby and the girl to eat. I don't know if it's because they have eaten well since childhood, or because they are really rare. The black, white and gray color of the two snow tigers is clear, and the hair color is shiny. At first glance, it is a rare treasure.
During dinner in the evening, Brother Mou and Yan Chan talked about the performance tomorrow. Because it's the first time, no one has experience. Tomorrow, let Xuehu hold the object first and follow Yan Shen and send it to the corner on the stage. Show your face, the response is good, and add more actions at that time.
If you sleep at night, the day will naturally pass quickly. In the evening, Yan Zhen took the baby girl to the venue after dinner. Yan Chan tried to take them to the roadside all the way, but it still scared a lot of people all the way. Everyone pointed at the two snow tigers.
When we arrived at the venue, the performance had not started yet. For the ticket fee, Brother Mou took the local fee, the average, and then added more than a dozen more articles. As the name implies, because our troupe has a tiger to perform, it is a little expensive, but it is not very expensive, just more than a dozen yuan.
Yan Zhen's task is also very simple, that is, when Brother Guan was in the mall, he sent him a long gun. Because it was wood, it was not very heavy. Because he was afraid of exposing the snow tiger in advance, he left the baby and Niunu in the background, covered by a curtain.
Before Brother Guan came on the stage, Yan Chan began to wander around and walked to the front desk. There were not many people who came to see him. There were still several tables behind him that were not full. Yan Chan picked an open space and listened to the lyrics on the stage. Yan Chen faintly saw that it was Brother Mou and Sister Liu. I don't know what the joke was in this scene, but the love was so slow that it made Yan Cen find out a rough idea. The story is about a pair of bitter mandarin ducks. Their parents don't agree to get married, and it's hard to part. Finally, they are ready to elope, but they have a rough life.
Listen, listen, and hear someone chewing what's in his mouth behind him. He is talking. The voice is not loud and he doesn't hear it very clearly. Yan Cheng changed his sitting posture, and this time he can hear it clearly: "Have you heard that the silk cloth village in the east of the city has swallowed the goods in the west of the city, and these are going to fight again. "
Another person interrupted when he heard this: "Hey, do you think the one in the east of the city has tripped the west of the city again?"
"Do you need to say this? It's been tossed for several years. This time, it's dedicated to the imperial concubine again. It's strange that the two families don't fight with each other!" Three people say a word, I say one word.
Yan Chan just wanted to stretch his neck and ears and listen to more gossip, but suddenly glanced at what Brother Guan was looking around. No, this previous paragraph is over. It's Brother Guan's turn to play. I guess I'll find myself again. You can't ruin the performance, otherwise I'm really sorry for Brother Mou and Sister Mou.
Then, Yan Xin rubbed and ran back quickly. As soon as Brother Guan saw the gasping face coming in front of him, he immediately said anxiously, "Where have you been? The class leader is going crazy to find you. I'm going to play, and you're not here. Who can take the tiger up? You have to play it. Hurry up and find the class owner in the back.
"Hey, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so fascinated that I didn't pay attention to it. Be sure to pay attention next time, hey hey." With that, Yan Ceng stuck out his tongue and ran to the backstage.
Listening to Brother Mou's arrangement, after waiting for Brother Guan to go up to report the name of the play, he took the baby and Niuniu to send a long gun. What Brother Mou meant was that the last tiger looked at the effect, Yan Chan nod his head, bit the long gun for the baby, and then said to the baby, "Baby, good, look at you. You will behave well with Niuniu in the future. I I often buy you that pig's feet to eat. Touched the baby's head and waved his hand: "Go, follow me."
The baby is naturally spiritual. As soon as he sees the movement, Yan Tianer's calf will cross. The action was just right, her head was parallel to Yan Chan's body, and the court was quiet. Yan Chan had a little stage fright, but fortunately, she didn't need to say anything, but she thought about it and said, "Brother Guan, I'll give you a long gun."
Brother Guan looked at the baby squatting on the ground and wanted to bend down to take the gun. Unexpectedly, Yan Zhi said to the baby, "Baby. Stand up and let Brother Guan take the gun."
As soon as the words fell, the baby immediately held a long gun in his hand, straightened up, and squatted on his back legs. At this height, Brother Guan just had a head. He raised his hands and just took the long gun. All the movements are done in one go. Brother Guan showed approval in his eyes, and then Yan Qian smiled and patted the baby's head. Then turn around and let the baby walk outside, show in front of people, and walk behind the scenes.
Everyone was stunned and exclaimed, "It's amazing that this tiger can understand human words."
"This tiger has become an essence. I can understand people's words."
"It's so wonderful. Let the tiger perform one."
"Dad, can you let my son touch the tiger?"
"My father-in-law, I also want to raise a tiger. Look, that tiger is so cute."
For a while, the audience was full of cheers. Brother Guan was the last program, and the team performed for an hour or two every day. As a result, as soon as Brother Guan came out, he heard many people saying that the tiger was performing one.
Brother Mou Tuo said that when he first came here, he was not familiar with it and did not prepare many programs for the tiger to participate. Let him go back and arrange it well. If you like tiger performances, please do it early tomorrow.
Everyone was still reluctant to give up, and in the end, there was no other way to let Yan Cen take two tigers to the stage to make a curtain call. When everyone saw the two tigers of similar length, the color was slightly different, and they asked for a performance one after another. In the end, Yan Cen had no choice but to let the two tigers do a rolling action.
After packing up the things, the troupe is ready to meet in the courtyard. Along the way, there are people behind, and many of them have just watched the play. Admittedly, this effect is very good. The tiger will listen to the news of people's performance and spread like wings.
The troupe, which practiced on the venue during the day, was suddenly chased by many people and asked what the tiger was performing today. The class owner said confidentially, "At night, everyone will know after watching it." It turns out that the troupe is kept secret.
Because Yan Zhen only took the tiger to walk through the motions at night, he didn't know what happened during the day, not to mention the small courtyard of Qifu, which was guarded by the guard, and outsiders did not dare to break in.
The baby and Nioniu became famous overnight. The adults took the children to see it one after another. The young couples came together, and the friends hugged each other to see it. Even the little women in the brothel came to watch the tiger performance in groups.
Fortunately, the venue is open-air, otherwise there will be a sea of people, three floors inside and three floors outside, and it will be too hot to squeeze. However, yesterday's performance shocked several big businessmen. Today, when they came to see the whole family, Brother Mou thought about it and told Yan Zhen, "I'd better send something today. Today, I bought some fruit during the day, and at night, I asked the baby and Niuniu to carry a fruit basket to send fruit to the distinguished guests for them to eat. However, it can't be too long. I'm afraid no one will listen to the play.
"Well, okay." Not long after the play began, Yan Zhen took the baby and Niunu to start the first round of fruit delivery. It's good. Seeing the snow tiger, everyone wanted to touch it. The baby and Niun was squeezed into the crowd, which was uncomfortable and awkward.
So Yan Zhen thought of a way and trotted all the way with the baby and Niunie. Every time he stopped for less than five seconds, he began to move again, so that everyone looked at a touch of black and white floating in front of them. So I can only listen to the play obediently. At least you have paid for it.
There are several big businessmen who seem to have taken a fancy to the business opportunities here, showing green light to the baby and Niunu. Yan Zhen doesn't like the way they look at the baby girl. Because of the troupe, there was no attack. It's faster to leave with the baby girl.
And these big businessmen naturally give full play to the essence of no treachery and no treachery. They are all secretly thinking about these two snow tigers, and they both want to contribute to their wealth. So he thought to himself, thinking about how to do it behind his back and get these two snow tigers. Such a rare treasure will definitely become your own cash cow and make a lot of money.
From this night, the baby and Niunu were caught in a secret battle of merchants. Because they lived in the small courtyard of Qifu, they could not openly take action, but could only go behind their backs. Naturally, the things that caused a sensation in the whole city so quickly reached Qi Minglian's ears.
And he, like the profiteers, is thinking about the baby and Niunu. Thinking that it is something that is originally in his Qi's house, naturally it can't fall into the hands of outsiders. It's better to take it for yourself.
