Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 209 Singing
"Do you want to go in and listen to the play?" Chen Nian asked suspiciously, because he knew that this beggar was almost out of food. After all, when he first saw him, he hadn't eaten for two days, and he was almost standing still. I can't stand up anymore, but now I say I want to go in to listen to the play, how strange this is.

"Yeah, I've lived and been poor all my life. I used to listen to opera on the stage in the village, but then those troupes that performed for everyone for free either couldn't survive, or turned into In order to collect money to sing for those old men.

So I've only heard it once since I was a child, but now it's about to go to war, and I don't know how long I can live. Maybe one day a shell just falls on my head and blows me up. So I thought about coming to ask before I died, whether the theater troupe still sang or not, and I wanted to go in and listen to it if they sang. "

When Chen Nian heard this, he realized that it was a lifetime of suffering, and felt that he might die at any time, so he didn't want to die so uselessly, so he planned to be cool before he died.

But now Chen Nian didn't know whether they would sing or not, so he had to lead the beggar into the theater first, then put him on the seat, poured a bowl of hot tea, and went to the back of the theater to look for Li Fuchun.

Although most of the troupe had left, Lao Zhou, who was in charge of the boiling water, was still there, so there was boiling water, and the tea was also ready-made, and it was ready to brew as soon as it was brewed.

"What's the matter?" Li Fuchun asked suspiciously after seeing Chen Nian, logically speaking, Chen Nian should either be preparing lunch in the back kitchen, or going out to buy vegetables.

"Just now when I was planning to go out to buy vegetables, someone asked me if the theater was still open, and he said he wanted to listen to a play." Chen Nian didn't say that the other party was a beggar, nor did he say that the other party had no money.

First of all, it depends on whether Li Fuchun cares about the identity of the other party. Li Fuchun probably doesn't care. As for the money, if the time comes to follow the rules, Chen Nian can also put the money first.

Anyway, I am not short of money here, so it is no problem to invite a friend to watch a play.

"Only one?" Li Fuchun asked again.

"Yes, he's the only one." Chen Nian nodded.

"Go and tell him to let him wait for a while. We are not ready right now. We have to go backstage to make up and change clothes. I remember we still have some snacks. You should serve them to the guests first and let him eat first."

Chen Nian responded, and then said: "Leader, do you want to go out and have a look at the guests?"

Hearing this, Li Fuchun couldn't help but stop and turn around: "What are you looking at? Is he a Japanese or a traitor?"

"neither."

"If it's not, you don't need to look at it. It doesn't matter what the identity of the guest is, no matter how high or low they are, they are all our compatriots and our own people."

"Okay class leader, I'm going to get some snacks for him to eat first." Chen Nian said.

Then Li Fuchun went to call someone, and Chen Nian brought out a lot of snacks and dried fruits, and set a big table for the beggar.

The main reason is that it takes a long time to make up and change clothes, so I have to let him wait a little longer and take out all the food in advance, lest I have to run back and forth to deliver them later.

It's not because I don't want to, but mainly because Chen Nian thinks it's unnecessary.

Soon Li Fuchun gathered everyone and prepared to perform on stage. This time they planned to perform the last performance of Peach Blossom Fan, that is, the continuation of forty aftertaste.

It took almost three or four 10 minutes before and after.

This includes not only time for makeup, but also time for arranging musicians.

Most of the musicians have left, so they need their own people to come.

Because there are only three characters in the forty sequels.

One is quiet, one is ugly, and the other is deputy.

So it was Li Fuchun, Bai Yueshuang's elder brother and Qin Xiangyun.

The reason why Qin Xiangyun was allowed to play was because there were really not enough people, so she could only play in reverse.

Xiaohua and Du Liniang are going to work as part-time musicians.

Although they are not very good at it, they have learned some related things in the theater troupe on weekdays, and they can replace them if they are temporarily dragged to the rescue.

There are rules for opera singers, there should be no movement before the opening ceremony, as long as there is a slight movement, whoever made the sound will be punished.

So there was no sound at all before the scene started.

But with the sound of a wooden drum beating.

Sanxian also played at the same time.

Although it was a little rough at this time and the musical instruments were not enough, it was the first time that the beggar was listening to an opera here. He couldn't help sitting up straight for a while, put down the melon seeds in his hand, and looked a little excited and expectant.

The woodcutter played by Li Fuchun came onto the stage carrying a burden, singing "Xijiang Moon" as he walked.

"Looking at the vast cliffs, brushing your head with thousands of branches of mangroves; when the clouds are deep and the tigers are out of nowhere, you also avoid the bows and arrows of the world.

In Jianye City, ghosts cry at night, and Weiyang well stores autumn corpses; the woodcutter is as alive as silk, full of unofficial history of the Southern Dynasty. "

The sound of music and singing continued to sound, and one character after another came onto the stage.

The beggar listened with great fascination.

The eyes do not move.

Although this was only the last one, as he was watching the theater for the second time, he was sitting alone in the theater at this moment, as if he had reserved the theater.

Get him extra involved.

Even different from other regular customers, when he heard Qing Nong, he couldn't help but shake his head, and his whole body collapsed.

It's like people seeing TV for the first time, the first time they see someone on the TV can move!
And Chen Nian didn't come to disturb him, but stood at the back as usual and watched with arms crossed.

Soon it came to the middle where Qin Xiangyun's deputy, played by Qin Xiangyun, was asked to sing a witch tune, while Li Fuchun and the senior brother clapped their hands to show off.

It was singing [Ask the Heaven].

Long sections of lyrics were sung by Qin Xiangyun. The characteristic of Kunqu Opera is that it sings slowly and has a long rhyme. Qin Xiangyun actually remembered all these words, and she had never played this role before.

Although it is said that she is the deputy, she still performed very well.

When they focused their attention on the stage, the time passed quickly, and they sang and sang to the end of the play.

"I once saw the hawks singing in the Jade Palace in Jinling, and the flowers blooming in the Qinhuai River Pavilion, who knew it would be easy to freeze. I saw him get up from Zhulou, see him entertain guests, and see his building collapse. This moss and green tile pile, I used to sleep romantic Jue, I will see the rise and fall of 50 years. The Wuyi Lane is not surnamed Wang, the ghosts of Mochou Lake cry at night, and the owls live on the Phoenix Terrace. The dream of the remnant mountain is the most real. Set "Sad Jiangnan" and sing it sadly until you grow old."
